You are wonderful and brilliant! Please note that in this fanfic there is going to be no romance. Just family and my special brand of Reid whump. Oh and a sprinkle of my famous cliffhangers.

Thank you again for the reviews, you are amazing. Thank you!

All mistakes are my own

JJ walked slowly down the corridor with everyone from the team. Will had Henry and was still in the waiting room. They decided to keep Henry from Spencer until they saw the damage themselves. Hotch went into the room first and the rest of the team followed. JJ felt her heart ache as she saw Spencer in the hospital bed. His eyes covered with bandages and the rest of his face swollen and littered with bruises and cuts. There was a large split down his swollen lip and his nose was bandaged. His arm was in a bulky cast and his broken fingers strapped. His leg placed in a cast and in a traction splint to keep his broken leg in place. There were so many bruises on his body, he was barely recognisable. JJ placed her hand over her mouth and felt tears run down her cheeks as she leaned over Spencer. The soft noise of the ventilator filled the room, the tube down Spencer's throat making all of them struggle to keep tears from their eyes. Wires and tubes could be seen connected all over him. JJ leaned down and gently pressed her forehead to his forehead.

"Thank you for keeping Henry safe," she whispered gently. "We are going to get the men who did this to you. I'm sorry, Spence. I just want you to know that you will have all the support in the world when you wake up. Please, be okay."

JJ stepped away from Spencer and found herself immediately in Alex's arms. Alex had tears running down her cheeks but knew she had to comfort JJ. Morgan and Garcia stepped forward next. Garcia's mascara had run down her cheeks. Morgan brought her into his arms and felt her cry into his chest.

"He-He doesn't deserve this," Garcia cried gently. "He has done nothing but good. Why did they do this to him?"

"I don't know who did this or why but I swear we are going to catch them and make them pay. I don't care what it costs, they will suffer," Morgan said angrily. He looked down at his friend, a man he considered a little brother, and felt heart-broken at seeing him so horribly injured and beaten. He couldn't help but focus on the bandages around Reid's eyes. He knew that Reid wasn't going to take being blind easily, he knew he was going to struggle. Even though Reid could remember every single word of every book he had ever read, he would never be able to read another book again as quickly as he used to.

"We don't take another case till we find the people who did this," Hotch said as calmly as he could. His voice edged with anger at the men that had hurt the youngest member of his team. "I want them found. We need to get justice for Reid."

"I can't believe this has happened," Rossi said as he walked over to the bed and looked down at Reid. "We need to have someone stay with him ."

"I want to stay with him," JJ said immediately as she came out of Alex's arms. "Please, I don't want him to be alone and I won't be able to focus. I can't leave him alone. He hid Henry from danger and saved him. I don't want to think about how long Henry was there alone with Spencer in his condition."

"JJ, you can stay with him and the rest of us will go back to the BAU to find these bastards. I'll let the doctor know you are staying with him," Hotch said. "Just keep talking to him, JJ. Make sure he knows we are looking for the people who did this to him and that he will be okay."

"I will. Just catch them," JJ nodded before turning back to Spencer. "Don't go easy on them. Make them pay for what they did to him."

"Don't worry, JJ," Morgan said. "We will."

Half an hour later

JJ held Spencer's least injured hand gently, the hand she held only had two broken fingers on it. She stroked her thumb over his hand and struggled to stay calm as she continued to watch his chest rise in sync with the ventilator. A knock came at the door, she looked up to see Will poke his head in the room. JJ saw the colour drain from her husband's face as he looked at Spencer.

"Will, is everything okay?"

"Henry wants to see Spencer, he won't calm down until he sees him. I explained to him that Uncle Spencer has a lot of bruises and boo boos and that he has to sleep for a while to get better."

JJ looked at Reid for a moment before nodding. "Bring him in."

Will nodded before disappearing for a second. The door opened moments later and JJ watched as Will came into the room with an upset Henry in his arms, he was holding a small book in his hand. JJ immediately took Henry from Will and held him in her arms. She sat back down next to the hospital bed and watched as Henry looked to Spencer.

"Mommy, is he gonna be okay?" Henry sniffled. "When he wake up."

"Henry, Uncle Spencer needs to sleep for a time so he can get better. He is like sleeping beauty, he has to sleep so he can get rid of all his boo boos and cuts. He will wake up though. Henry, when he wakes up, he'll be unable to see you. He can't see pretty colours any more because the bad men hurt his eyes. We are going to need to be there for him. We will need to give him lots of hugs to make him feel better when he wakes up," JJ explained calmly to her son. Will looked at her and closed his eyes as he absorbed the information. Henry lifted the small story book in his hands and gave it to his mother.

"Mommy, can we tell Uncle Spence a story?" Henry asked. "Uncle Spence always reads a story when I'm sad."

JJ struggled to keep the tears that burned her eyes from falling. Henry snuggled against her chest as she opened the book. She closed her eyes and hated that Spencer wasn't going to be able to simply open a book and read it like he used to.

"Once upon a time..." JJ began to read.

An hour later

"Henry, it's time for us to go home. We will come and visit Uncle Spence tomorrow," Will said as he held his son's hand. "Mommy is going to stay and watch over him for us."

"Daddy lift," Henry said as he let go of his father's hand and ran to the edge of the bed. Will walked over to Henry and lifted him carefully on the bed, he carefully avoided the wires. Henry leaned forward and kissed Spencer's forehead. "Bye, Uncle Spence. Miss you. Momma will keep you safe."

Will picked his son up from the bed and carried him back to JJ. JJ kissed her son on the cheek.

"Be a good boy for your daddy. I'll see you soon. I'll keep Uncle Spence safe."

"Okay, mommy," Henry yawned. "Don't let the bad men back."

Daniel Peters

Daniel quickly began to pack away his clothes quickly. He had received word from an informant that Spencer had been found and brutally beaten. He cursed himself for not being more careful. He thought sending Spencer the email would buy him time. It would take the heat away from him and give them nothing to find. Spencer's attack meant that they knew it was him that had stolen the information. He had to run, he couldn't trust anyone. Not even his own unit.

Throwing a t-shirt into the bag, he stopped when he heard a rattle at his locked door. He whipped out the gun from his belt into his hand. He quickly zipped up the bag and put it over his shoulders. He quickly opened the window. His door smashed open. Daniel climbed out of the window and dropped on the fire escape.

"Find that bastard and kill him!" Angry voices screamed from the room above him.

"Shit," Daniel cursed.
