I do not own the cast of Criminal Minds, but I do own the made up people…they are mine!!
This is alternate universe…I think is what it's called. It should be rather long unless I just get too aggravated with it and just kill everyone (just kidding…sort of.)
Dr. Spencer Reid will NOT only have PhD's he will be a medical doctor along with a scientific doctor….basically he is awesomeness in a cute cardigan.
Reviews would be awesome!! Oh and check out some of my other stories!!
"You can't be serious!!"
Captain Aaron Hotchner looked up at the bane of his existence, "Garcia, we are docking and that is final. You're staying on the ship…we can't take any chances, besides you heard what Jan said… he is still looking for you."
The brightly colored woman stamped her foot and walked back to her computer, mumbling under her breath. His second-in-command, David Rossi was chuckling and just laughed harder at the sharp look Aaron threw him.
He glanced over at the passengers he had picked up on the way, Emily Prentiss and Derek Morgan. Emily was the daughter of a very important ambassador and Derek was her body guard.
Jennifer Jareau, or as the crew affectionately called her, JJ was currently teaching them everything they would be doing on the ship. Everyone helped keep the ship clean, and Emily would be helping JJ cook.
Derek would help with any thing dealing with weaponry, the ship, and of course protecting Emily. The starship was small but the small crew the piloted it had gotten the name "Saviors of Light" because of their constant white knight approach.
The galaxy authorities, Monitors, had been unable to arrest the band of hero's due to the lack of evidence against them, and their very tech savvy Penelope Garcia.
They were heading into a planet called, Jumanji a term taken from popular movie back when the Earth was still livable. The place was dangerous; it held every single bounty hunter, thief, criminal, runaway. It was also the cheapest place they could get some information and to fuel up.
Aaron Hotchner knew that each member had their own reason for joining and whenever they got the chance Aaron made sure he helped them out.
Derek was laughing at something JJ said, until she looked up, "Are we there?"
He nodded watching as emotions passed through her. Sadness, pain, anger, and probably the one that he loved seeing the most but hated to admit it was probably a lost cause, hope.
David ran forward, yanking her to him, the two had gotten rather close but Aaron knew that JJ viewed him as a father and David saw her as a daughter. She did closely resemble David's own daughter, Sandra, who he had lost when she was only seven, so it was understandable why he immediately took to protecting her.
Emily looked surprised and ran forward, Derek watched with interested eyes finally JJ pulled away form David, "You should probably know before we go in. My…my brother he…."
"He was taken a year ago, in this very market. While JJ, David, and Garcia take care of the ship Derek, Emily and I will go see if we can get any information."
Derek looked a little surprised but nodded, "I'm looking for something, do you mind if I ask around?"
Aaron watched him for a moment debating, "As long as you don't cause harm to my crew or my ship, I trust you."
He was still watching Derek, he didn't fully trust him or Emily but that would come with time. They made there way off the ship. The main capital of Jumanji was Saratoga.
Saratoga was a huge metal city trapped within a bubble, to keep the toxic air out. Most of the city was built out of old ship parts, a recycling effort to create more space for the growing populations. It became a safe haven from anyone who needed to escape, because it was too large, complex and just plain dirty for most to come to.
The market place was were you could buy supplies, weapons, secrets, poison, antidotes, anything that you could possibly need Aaron made his way down the rows or tables, selling everything, "Derek…do you want to tell me what your looking for?"
The man looked apprehensive and Emily touched his arm, "He just wants to help, Morgan. Listen Derek, he knows this place better then anyone, he can point us in the right direction."
Aaron smiled, "I didn't mean to press, but she's right, I only meant to point you in the right direction."
Derek sighed and then nodded, "I need an antidote…but it's only a myth…a legend…"
Aaron watched him for a second, "The S-Cure?"
Emily looked surprised, "You've heard of it!? Derek's mother needs it she-."
She stopped short and blushed looking apologetically at Derek, who only smiled lightly at her, "My mother got sick on Planet 9 when the toxic spill occurred…she needs it to get better."
Hotch nodded and pointed to a secluded shop, "you're going where I'm going."
As soon as they purchased everything on their list, they headed towards the shop that Aaron had pointed to before. He pushed open the door and Emily raised an eyebrow at the woman who held a striking resemblance to Penelope Garcia.
"Aaron!" The woman was in her mid twenties, blonde hair and blue eyes, but where Penelope was eccentric and wild; this woman was reserved and calm. She hugged Aaron quickly.
"She's fine, Jan. How are you?"
Jan grinned and looked behind him staring at new faces, "Hello, I'm Janice Garcia. And were did Aaron pick you two up?"
Emily smiled, "I'm Emily and this is Derek. We got stranded on Frostier."
Jan grimaced, "which Section?"
Derek sighed, rubbing his wrist. Aaron had noticed right away that whenever he was uncomfortable he would nervously rub at his wrists, "Section 7. Mild, compared to the rest."
Jan smiled and sat down back behind her desk. Her shop had many trinkets, including poison and antidotes, weapons and shields. Everything that you could ever need, packed into a small shop.
"Derek needs info on the S-Cure; I need info on Spencer and on Damian."
The woman instantly tensed and let out an angry grunt, "Bastard doesn't come around here…he knows better. But he's still got a price on Pen's head…I don't even want to think of what he's do…
The angry look that passed thorough Hotch's expression surprised the newbie's and they watched as it didn't leave his expression, "What about Reid?"
Her face suddenly lit up, "The doc!! I got new info on him! I know where he is being kept!"
Again the excited look on his face surprised the two newcomers, "Jan you're a genius!"
The woman nodded, "They got him in some shack out in Atlantis. He's got his own lab and everything, seems they've been using him for a multitude of things…poor man."
Aaron growled, "Got a map?"
Emily and Derek watched as the woman smirked handing Aaron a small chip "thanks Jan…what about the S-Cure."
Jan smiled and looked over at Derek, "Find Doc Reid and you'll get your cure."
Aaron nodded and after a quick good-bye they took their things back to the ship. He handed the chip to an angry Garcia who took it from him. She knew better then to look at it until they were away from the city.
"Penelope-."
She glared at him sending him back to his own seat; he looked over at Derek, Emily, and David. JJ nodded to him, "we should tell you the full story."
David smiled and sat down in his own seat, while JJ just walked to the giant glass window and watched it.
"Spencer Reid is a genius…he created half the guns we use now, cures, poisons, anything you can think of he started making when he was 15. The government used him, for many things until one day he and a nurse ran away together."
JJ smiled, "He hated being there everyday. It was torture, he was never violent so creating things that killed people, killed him. So we ran away…"
Derek raised an eyebrow, "You keep traitors to the government…and you don't get caught?"
David grinned, "Between me and Aaron…we had some pull. They over looked the fact that we had a stunning look alike of Spencer Reid."
Aaron took over and sighed rubbing his eyes, "You don't understand…Spencer is like my little brother, JJ's sister, Garcia's best friend, and Rossi's little boy…he means the world to us…we want him back."
Emily nodded quickly, "I understand…we will help you with whatever we can…besides Jan said that the S-Cure could be with Spencer…"
They all looked to Derek who just nodded, "I'll do whatever Emily does."
They had finally reached space and Penelope spoke up, "I've got the map pulled up and course is set for Atlantis."
"How long?" Aaron smiled over her, but she still refused to smile back.
"In earth time, 2 weeks."
&&&&&
Aaron woke up from his nightmares, sweating and breathing hard. He quickly changed and made his way out to the kitchen. He was warmed by the sight of his entire crew sitting down to eat.
Emily, David and JJ were in deep conversation, while Penelope was giggling at something Derek said. His chest tightened at the sight but he pushed his feelings away. Derek and Penelope had been flirting the entire time; he called her Sugar and Baby Girl, while she called him Chocolate Adonis and creepy food names.
Rossi had informed him that Penelope had no feelings for the man and that it was just playfulness, which helped him relax a little, but he couldn't make the feeling of jealousy go away when they were together.
She saw him walk in and gave him a small smile, letting him know that he had been forgiven.
Although Derek and Emily had only been with them for a month, Aaron could tell that his crew liked having them around. They had at least another 13 days together and Aaron was glad for the time, he wanted to get to know the two new arrivals.
"How do you guys make money?"
The question came from Emily, who always had a curious look to her. JJ grinned, "We actually own five small ships that run a shipping business. We transport precious cargo. Big money…"
Emily looked shocked, "Oh yea Rossi/Hotchner Shipping…duh. Why do you carry such an old gun Hotch?"
Aaron rolled his eyes at the nickname that everyone called him. He smiled down at his gun that Reid had made just for him as a birthday present. It was shaped after an Earth gun and held actual bullets, which weren't used often, it was expensive. He also had a smaller one that was around his ankle at all times. The smaller one was generic, didn't shoot bullets but bursts of light energy that would burn a person and paralyze them.
"Reid made it for me…in honor of my father. Bullets do more damage also… So what's for breakfast?"
They ate and then made there way to the front of the ship, the view through the giant window was beautiful and Hotch sighed, he looked over to see Penelope smiling slightly at the stars, "Do you remember when you were little…and you would look at the stars and think 'I wonder if there's life out there…' and now we have so many different races, and species and whatever…."
Hotch smiled and sat down next to her, "So I'm forgiven?"
Penelope chuckled a little before leaning back in her chair, "One day…I won't have to be afraid of him…and I'll be able to see my little sister…one day."
He hated that look of terror and sadness that came across Penelope's face when she thought of her old life and Damian Fletcher, "One day I am going to make sure you get to see your sister."
She stared at him for a moment and nodded, she knew he was true to his word. The sadness was still present in her eyes, "I'm scared to think what those men have done to my Genius baby…"
The nickname brought a little light back into her eyes and Aaron smiled, but he had been afraid of that to…who knew what those men would do to Reid.
"Who took Dr. Reid?"
They both jumped… they had always gotten into their own little bubble, whenever Aaron got too serious, Penelope was always there to yank him out of it and show him the good in people. They always created their own separate peace.
Derek was watching them, waiting for an answer. Penelope laughed and pressed a few buttons on her computer, a huge holographic picture came up on the computer. Two men in lab coats stood next to a man in a suit. "The man in the suit is who took him, his name is Sullivan Case; Captain Casey is what everyone calls him. Rumor has it he is trying to create deadly virus to kill off the entire Supreme Law."
"He wants to take out the entire government? I mean I know some of it's corrupt, but it is what keeps us intact. With as many planets that there are and the amount of people…it's the only thing that keeps us away from destruction."
Aaron nodded, "Most agree, but then you get your crazies, like Casey. It isn't our job to stop him, the only thing we are doing is sneaking our Reid out and then getting out ourselves…"
They all looked up when a laughing JJ and Emily tumbled in through the doors. Penelope giggles, "My guess is you showed her David's long distance travel techniques."
Emily burst out laughing even harder and Derek looked confused. Aaron even managed a small smile, "When we travel long distances, it gets boring…he had his own way of fixing this."
Penelope was starting to giggle harder and Aaron smiled over at her bright blue eyes, "Oh Derek, you will see soon enough. Trust me you will soon find that you need something to do. I'm on the computer, Hotch fixes things, JJ cleans, and David does yoga…plus we all read, write, sing, practice, anything to pass the time."
Derek looked curious so Emily yanked on his arm and drug him away, telling him what she saw through laughs, JJ followed quickly behind, "I can't wait for when we get Spence back…he's going to like them."
