Disclaimer- Why would I post this here if I owned it? Okay, just to get this over with, I don't own CM, Panic! At the Disco's lyrics, Lord of the Rings, Snakes on a Plane the movie, Snakes on a Plane (Bring It) the song, Green Day, okay, look. I don't own anything recognizable. God! That was a long list.

A/N- I'M BACK! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! –ahem- Sorry. Well, Gerard is my character. He's a mixture of me, my family, friends, and a bunch of famous people. I hope you guys like it. The chapters are super long. At least by my standards. I love reviews, so…. You know. Hit that lil' button, my pretties. Uh, if you're a guy, sorry. I didn't mean to call you a prettie. Uh, on to the story!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Agent Hotchner, I'd like to inform you of the new agent joining your team. His name is Gerard Shadows. Agent Shadows did two years of field work with an Ohio PD, and has a master's degree in psychology. He is 26 years old, a quite accomplished young man. He will be joining you tomorrow," the head of the FBI, Agent Jonathon Byrne, said.

Hotch nodded, and asked, "Only 26? Is he like Reid?"

Byrne smiled and shook his head.

"He is smart, but the way he acts is quite the opposite. Agent Shadows incorporates heavy metal music in his clothes, and don't be surprised if for a whole day he speaks in a Transylvanian accent. But, despite his odd behavior, he has the highest amount of solved crimes in the entire state of Ohio. He will be a wonderful addition to your already amazing team."

Hotch only narrowed his eyes.

The phone on Byrne's desk began to ring, and, waving Hotch out of the room, Byrne answered the phone.

Hotch walked slowly to his own office, wondering if the new agent would fit in.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After awhile, Hotch walked out of his office and gathered the team. Soon, Gideon, Morgan, Elle, Reid, and JJ were sitting in the conference room wondering if they had a case.

Hotch, at the head of the table, sat down and informed the team of their new agent. He mentioned Agent Shadows age and experiences, but didn't mention his peculiar qualities.

Out of all the agents, Reid looked the most curious. He wanted to see if they were alike. They were, at the very least, alike in age.

Morgan, instantly annoyed at the thought of having another (what he thought to be) young nerd with no friends, snidely commented, "Oh, come on. Do we really have to help another teenager get through puberty?"

His comment was met with harsh glares and an embarrassed blush on Reid's cheeks. The young man's gaze instantly dropped to the floor.

Gideon, changing the subject, asked, "He's coming tomorrow, correct?"

Hotch nodded. "Yes, now, you're all dismissed."

He walked to his office, having important boss-man duties he had to attend to. The other five agents went back to boring phone calls and case-files.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Reid, Morgan, and Ell were all at their desks when a young man with his black hair shielding his eyes walked, no, swaggered up to them.

His black hair was expertly styled, with bangs long in the front and the back kept short and spiked up. His yellow/green eyes sparkling with determination were surrounded with black eyeliner. A red tie complemented his back suit perfectly. Red Converse and black nail polish completed his look.

He held out his hand to Reid and said, "Dude, I come in peace. The name's Shadows. Gerard Shadows."

Gaping, Reid somehow managed to shake his hand and say, "Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid. Nice to meet you."

Turning to Elle and Morgan, Gerard said, "Dude and Dudette. Seriously, it's friggin' sweet to meet you."

Bowing at Elle, Gerard said, "Ms. Greenaway, 'tis a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

Turning to Morgan, and once again bowing, he said, "As it is a pleasure to make yours, Master Morgan."

Straightening up, Gerard grinned and said, "Don't worry, Spence, I knew who you were. How could I not? But, doing that to you would've ruined the moment. Man, I've always wanted to do that, but never had the chance. Now, where's Boss-Man and Senior Boss-Man?"

Smirking, Morgan pointed him in the right direction.

Once Gerard was out of earshot, Morgan said, "Guess what, Reid? You're not the weirdest agent who ever lived anymore!"

Reid frowned and said, "That's mean. He seemed nice."

"And insane," Morgan mumbled.

Elle said, "Give him a chance, Derek."

Morgan only shook his head and went back to the file he had been reading.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a different and very serious Gerard who introduced himself to Hotch and Gideon.

Hotch, despite the warning he was given, was shocked. Gideon was just accepting. He only cared about competence.

Afterwards, JJ walked in; the two met each other, and she showed him his desk. It was adjacent to Morgan's desk, positioned the same way Reid and Elle's were.

Gerard happily set up, only taking notice of the three agents' stares after putting up a picture of a woman and her child.

Glancing at them, he said, "Ya know, it's not nice to stare."

Morgan stared at Gerard.

"Are you wearing blue eye shadow?" he gasped.

Gerard grinned and replied, "Yeah, you like?"

Morgan didn't answer, so Elle said, "You're the only guy who could make that work."

Reid sat back and watched silently, studying the strange young man.

Gerard thanked Elle, and went back to his previous task.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Reid, Elle, and Morgan got to their desks before Gerard had arrived.

Glancing at his watch, Morgan snickered to himself, saying, "Late on the second day! This is priceless!"

Morgan either wasn't having a good week or just didn't like unique people.

As if on cue, Gerard walked in, mouthing the words to a song.

He sat down, and then pointed at Morgan.

"The sacrament is you!" he sang.

Morgan groaned loudly.

Reid laughed and said, "Shadows, you're just gonna annoy him even more if you keep singing."

"What's wrong with that?" Gerard laughed. "And call me Gerard."

Reid nodded, and then frowned. Was he the only one who noticed the bruise on Gerard's cheekbone, and the scabbed-over lip?

After a few moments of silence, Elle asked, "Gerard, what size are those jeans? They look uncomfortably tight."

Gerard looked down at his black jeans with the hole in the knee.

"These old things? They're a size four."

Confused, Elle said, "Do guys' pants even come in four?"

"Nope," Reid laughed.

"Then what-?"

Gerard grinned and said, 'Size four in women's."

Morgan said, "How'd you even get in the BAU? Are we ever gonna get rid of you?"

Gerard stood up, and swaggered off, singing, "I'm the new cancer / Never looked better / You can't stand it. 'Cause you say so under your breath / You're reading lips, 'When did he get all confident?'"

Reid laughed at Elle and Morgan's expressions, then got up and followed Gerard, who was pouring himself some coffee.

Gerard jumped when Reid said from behind, "What happened to your face?'

After composing himself, Gerard whispered, "I really don't want to talk about it."

Reid was about to persist the subject when JJ walked in.

"Hey guys," she said, "Hotch wants us in the conference room. We have a case."

The two agents nodded, and they followed the unit liaison.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the conference room, the team was already sitting at the table, with a file in their hands.

JJ handed Reid a file, and he sat down next to Gerard.

Hotch began his speech.

"Bella Springs, Oklahoma. Orlando Lemche, Johnny Leto, Hayden Way, and Matthew Bloom were all kidnapped and murdered, each one month after the other. Local PD has only now begun to suspect a serial killer."

"Cause of death?" Gerard asked.

"A gunshot wound to the stomach. It would have been slow and painful," Gideon said.

Reid interjected, "A gunshot wound that penetrates the stomach will kill the victim in approximately fifteen minutes."

"A sadist, then?" Elle asked.

"Yes. The torture was brutal, with no purpose evident. How much could a 25 year old college student know?" Gideon said.

"Each victim was 25?" Reid asked.

Hotch nodded. "They were all 25 year old white males that went to Bella Springs University of Medicine. Also, they were each born in October. Those were the only connections."

"That narrows it down quite a bit," Morgan smirked.

Nodding, Hotch said, "I'll see you on the plane in a half an hour."

He turned and was halfway out the door when Morgan said, "Wait. Has someone else been kidnapped?"

Hotch stopped, and said grimly, "Not yet."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone except Reid and Gerard had left the room. Reid stayed because he wanted to re-read the file. Gerard because he had a question to ask.

Gerard cleared his throat, and Reid gasped, jumping, because he hadn't noticed Gerard.

Reid looked up, and he kindly said, "Do you need something?"

Gerard nodded, embarrassment clear on his face.

"Um, I don't have a car. I've been walking 'cause I live kinda close and I can't walk to my place and then walk to an airport which I don't exactly know where it is in only a half an hour. Can you-?"

"Of course," Reid said, interrupting. "But we should leave now."

Gerard smiled gratefully and thanked Reid.

Reid picked up his stuff, and then Gerard's. They drove to the airport, and boarded the plane, which promptly took off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What did ya think? I had to cut it short 'cause I don't have the attention span to type it all out. OK, tell me if you liked Gerard. Sorry if anyone seems OOC (Morgan) . This gets better, I promise.

Random fact- HIM freaking ROCKS! The band, His Infernal Majesty, all you crazy peeps that don't like love metal. HIM is Finnish. Guys from Finland are fine. (VILLE VALO!) Sorry. Review. Do it.
