Disclaimer: Unfortunately I don't own Criminal minds or any of the characters on the show. Boo :(
New FBI agent SSA Dr. Rebecca Bly fumbled over her own heel clad feet, and managed to peer over the top of the cardboard box and pile of files she was carrying and some how walk into the bullpen without tripping over once. She took in the surroundings of the busy BAU and smiled as she set the box down on her new desk and began unpacking it, placing all the files, trinkets, photo frames and fluffy pens neatly in their new homes.
"Dr. Bly" A deep but familiar voice called the petite brunettes name and she spun around on her heels, smiling as Unit chief Aaron Hotchner walked towards her in his typical suit attire.
"Sir, It's nice to see you again" Becky smiled, shaking his outstretched hand
"Same to you, I'm glad to have you on my team"
"I'm glad to be here Sir" She pulled her hand away and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear
"Well, we're lucky to have you" He smiled as she blushed "You didn't have any problems getting here did you?" He asked politely
"Well" she laughed "I couldn't find my badge so I got held up at security and then I forgot what floor I was supposed to go to so I walked up 6 flights of stairs checking every level, but other than that it's been fine" smiling, "I'm really excited to get started"
"Well I hope you settle in well, Let me introduce you to the rest of the team" He smiled kindly, walking to the centre of the room
Becky nodded weakly as her heart started beating faster, she had never been good with meeting new people. Her cousin had given her the title of 'Socially awkward'
"Guys!" Aaron shouted, signalling for the rest of the team to come over
The 5 foot 5 woman watched as 6 other people made their way over, and instantly put names to their faces. Hotch had already briefed her on who she would be working with.
"Everyone, this is Doctor Rebecca Bly, she's the new member of our team I was talking about, so make her welcome"
"Hi its great to meet you, just call me Becky" She smiled nervously, adding in a little wave.
"It's good to finally meet you, Hotch has told us a lot about you, I'm D-"
"Derek Morgan" Becky smiled, finishing his sentence, instantly regretting it "Oh god sorry, I'm honestly not rude, It's just a habit, I'm what you call a super recogniser so I never forget a face or names, I was tested when I was nine, did you know that only 2% of the population can be classed as a super recogniser…Sorry, I ramble when I'm nervous"
"Hey don't worry about it, I could listen to that sexy English accent of yours all day long" He winked and she rolled my eyes,
"Hotch warned me about you" Rebecca playfully laughed
"Hi, I'm Emily" The brunette in front of her smacked Derek on the arm, smiling she shook her hand gently
"Hey, I'm Jennifer Jareau but everyone just calls me JJ"
"David Rossi" The older man smiled, bringing the nervous agent in for a hug "You look like a hugger" He whispered in her ear
"Am I really that easy to read?" She chuckled, pulling back
"Hey sugar, I'm Penelope, Hotch told me you were good with computers?" she grinned, excitedly, Becky laughed and nodded her head
"Yeah, you're the technical analysist right?"
"Yup, that's me! What system do you use can I ask?"
She chuckled at her giddy behaviour "I use my own system, open source, roughly Linux based"
She started clapping her hands and pulled her new college in for a hug "We're gonna be amazing friends, I'll show you my system one day!"
"That's not a euphemism is it baby girl?" Derek chuckled, They both rolled their eyes at the smirk on his face
"Oh you wish it was sugar" Garcia winked,
Greeting the final member of her new team she turned her head slightly and offered a kind smile,
"So, you must be Spencer Reid" Becky smiled, offering her hand to shake
He shook her hand and a smile pulled on his lips "You too, you're a doctor right so if you don't mind me asking, what are you a doctor of?"
"Philosophy, Clinical Psychology, Criminology, sociology and mathematics" The young woman reeled off in a single breath, inhaling sharply at the end.
"Wow, how old are you?" He asked with wide eyes
"26, why are you so shocked, Hotch did tell me you were a genius" she chuckled
"Well yeah but…"
"Ah I see, it's because I'm a girl isn't it?" She tutted and winked, sarcasm leaking into her words
"No, not at all, I just never thought I'd meet someone like me"
"You mean someone with an eidetic memory, an IQ of 187 and who graduated school at 12?"
"You really have done your research" He chuckled, tucking his hair behind his ears
"Well I may not have an eidetic memory, but I do have an IQ of 189" The female genius smirked, walking off back towards her desk
"Brains as well as beauty" she heard Derek say in the background and a blush crept into her cheeks
She sat down on her chair and started flicking through the numerous files on her desk, praying that she didn't come off as some airhead or know it all. She really just wanted to fit in and make friends, this was her perfect job - Her dream job.
"So I assume that you went to either Oxford or Cambridge right? "
Becky snapped her head around and was met by Reid sat at the desk next to her "Both"
"You're possibly the smartest woman I've ever met" He nodded his head and started subtly scanning her desk.
She jokingly narrowed her eyes and dived in front of him, covering the wooden surface with her pale but toned arms "Stop profiling me!" she laughed
"Sorry, Habit" He smiled
"How long have you been working here then Spencer?" The Brit turned on her chair so the two intellectually talented individuals were face to face
"About se-"
"Guys, we have a case" They both turned around to see who had interrupted their conversation and saw Garcia quickly walking down the catwalk to the round table room, followed by Rossi, Hotch and JJ.
"Oooh my first case" Becky grinned, standing up and straightening her blue blouse out "Guess we'll have to carry this on later?" She asked Reid, smiling and making her way over to where the others were
"I look forward to it" Reid said, barely audible
"In Oregon there's been four women all drugged, raped and then violently murdered in the last month, all brunettes, all between the ages of 25-30" Penelope sighed as the crime scene photos flashed onto the screen in front of the team
"One a week?" Bly asked, raising her eyebrows as Garcia nodded "Jesus, that's one hell of a short cooling off period"
"He's angry" Hotch said from next to Bly, the team all looked at him as he spoke "He's possibly seeing these women as surrogates for someone who's hurt him"
"How were they murdered?" Reid piped up, leaning forward on the table
Garcia took a sharp breath in "All the bodies had between 15 to 23 deep stabs to the chest"
"Serious over kill" Emily said "Sexual sadist"
"Oh and there's one other thing!" Garcia chimed, handing out the files "All though there was evidence of rape, damage and tearing, there was no semen found at the scene or on the body"
"So he cleaned up? Trying to cover his tracks?" Morgan asked, flicking though the file that was presented in front of him
"Or he's impotent, got angry and killed them, gets off from stabbing them?" Becky suggested, not taking her eyes away from the pictures in front of her. She hadn't realised that every one was looking at her
"Impressive" Rossi whistled,
Bly looked up and smiled "Thanks"
"So why did he drug them?" JJ asked
"He's weak, knew he wouldn't be able to subdue them" Rossi said "Possibly disabled"
"Right we can go over the case more on the jet, wheels up in 30" Hotch announced, standing up, the rest of the team following him minus Bly and Garcia.
The two computer whiz's stayed in the conference room, Bly stayed to help Garcia pack everything up. And ask a few questions
"Why thank you my sexy British co-worker soon to be best friend slash world wide famous computer hacker partner" Penelope winked, closing the lid of her laptop
" You know British means you either live in Scotland, Wales or England right?" Bly laughed "And doesn't being a famous hacker mean people know who you are which kind of defeats the object?"
"Ok, ok miss smarty, you're as bad as Reid, but prettier" Garcia grinned, handing the young agent a few files to carry back to her office
"So Reid, would he happen to be dating anyone at the moment" Bly quietly asked as the two women walked towards Garcia's 'lair'.
"Oh my gosh, you totally have the hot's for Reid!" Garcia giddily exclaimed, her grin reaching from ear to ear. Bly blushed as she hurried the two into the screen filled room
"No! I didn't say that, It was just an innocent question" Bly blushed, leaning her head forward hoping her hair would cover her red cheeks
"Then why didn't you ask about anyone else?" Garcia winked, taking a seat on her pink computer chair
"Well it's obvious JJ is married, I think Emily is single, by all the flirting and muscle flexing I can tell Morgan is single and likes to be a bit of a player" Bly laughed and Garcia nodded her head, laughing silently as she typed away on her computer "And Rossi, well I've heard the rumours"
Garcia burst out laughing "Oh my sweet, you have no idea. Apparently the fraternization rules were made because of him"
Bly raised her eyebrows but continued "And you, are dating a certain Kevin Lynch, fellow computer genius?"
Garcia's mouth dropped open "How did.. How did you know?"
"Psychic" Becky winked, "Nah, I'm just kidding, I saw the reflection of who you were texting in your glasses"
"Sneeky!" Garcia squealed
"And last, Hotch. I've read the file, but he's seeing someone?" Bly asked and Garcia nodded
"Oooh you're good" Penelope giggled, clapping her hands together "But what about boy genius?"
Becky laughed at Spencers nickname "I have no idea" She shook her head and moved her chair next to the blonde. Pulling the keyboard over to her "Wow, this is an amazing system. You designed this?"
"That I did" Garcia smiled
"The search parameters on this thing are huge, it's all open source too! Oh this is great"
"Hey! Don't go changing the subject missy" Penelope smirked, adjusting the flower in her hair "But FYI he is single"
"Oh, thanks" Bly smiled, standing up, adjusting her blazer
"So when are you gonna ask him out?" Garcia grinned, Bly just smiled and shook her head
"I'll see you later Pen", Bly called, walking out of the room and closing the door behind her
Bly's heels clicked along the corridor on her way down to the locker room and she punched in the code to get the door open.
"Hey" Becky smiled to the two other women in the room, JJ and Emily turned to face her and smiled
"Hi Mrs. Reid" JJ winked, pulling her go-bag out of her locker
"What?" Bly laughed, unlocking her own locker
"It's so obvious you two are going to get together, I mean he couldn't stop smiling at you!" Emily said, slinging her bag over her shoulder
"And he shook your hand! He never shakes anyone hand" JJ gasped
"Shut up" Bly laughed, shutting the door of her locker again after she'd taken her bag out "We've known each other like half an hour"
"Whatever you say Becky" JJ smiled, "Come on, Hotch is waiting"
