You're in JJ's office listening to her talking about how it works in their unit. You listen to her taking in all the information and at the same time you're paying attention to her body language.

And her body, too.

She's beautiful. You were never drawn to someone like you are to her. And frankly it scares you to death.

But you stay calm.

You don't talk much. Just keep listening.

It takes almost two hours to discus all the things you need to know and you know her mind starts to drift to you. It's not mind reading of course. But you can see her giving you a glance. Then she opens her mouth to speak but shuts it quickly. She wants to ask you something but you're not sure if it will be something you'll be comfortable talking about.

But you're willing to risk it.

"Ask."

JJ looks at you surprised but nods and closes the folder she was just looking onto.

"Um, I don't actually know how to ask."

"Just say what you want to know. Maybe I'll answer, maybe I won't. But I'll try to be honest with you."

"Ok, um." She takes a deep breath. "We all heard things about your family. Some good some bad. But there are also rumors about you specifically. Like that you are not like the others. And I don't mean just as a person. It's clear to me that you're trying to avoid a family business. You're on our side of the law. But you are also physically different, right? Your abilities are different."

You expected her to ask something similar. And you want to answer. At least she's interested in truth and not the rumors.

"And you want to know how different I am." It's not a question but she still nods.

"They call us meneur." You start slowly, not sure how to explain. "It means 'leader' in French. Not many people know our family comes from there, at least the 'werewolf' part of the family.

"Have you ever heard about La bête do Gévaudan, JJ?"

She slowly nods. "The beast of Gévaudan, yes. But I don't know much."

"That's where it started for us. You see, our family is not one of the old wolf families there are in the States, in the world. Far from it actually. There are a lot more older and powerful families and the only reason people know about us is because a few of us decided to engage in public. For example my mother is a politician but it started way before her.

"The wolf gene comes from my father's side of the family. His ancestors were hunters in Gévaudan when the attacks started. One of them was bitten by 'the beast' one night. After that he started to change. He was stronger then humanly posible. He could do things no one could. He found himself change during the full moon. His mood chadged and then his body, too. By the time he knew what was wrong his wife was pregnant. But once his son was born and grew into a young man and his abilities started to show they were different from his own. The boy was weaker and he never reached his father's strength. He couldn't control himself the way his father could although even for him it took some time at first.

"None of his children and children of his children ever reached his abilities. They called him a meneur. All the families have them. Over time there was born a child who was closer with their abilities to him than anyone. It's extremely rare. In our family it happened three times including me over the almost three centuries."

You pause for a while and look back at the blonde sitting in front of you. She's still listening. She's waiting for you to continue.

"So to answer your question, I can control myself better even on the full moon. I can shift whenever I want but I do it only when I necessarily have to. I think the last time I had to change fully was about five years ago and unlike the others I know what I'm doing. I don't have to… kill. The others need to lock themselves up but not all of them do. I'm stronger and my senses are better. I'm healing quicker although every injury hurts me the same way it would hurt you. The only difference is the scars will show sooner."

You look away again. You never talked to anyone about this outside of your family.

No one ever bothered to ask you.

She did. Because she cares and she doesn't judge.

"Thank you." She says and when you look at her you see a smile on her lips.

It confuses you a little.

"For what?"

"For telling me. I have a feeling you're not a very sharing person." You nod your confirmation.

Suddenly there's a knock on the door and whoever is on the other side doesn't wait for the answer as the door open.

A small bubbly blonde woman enters the office and when she sees you she smiles at you and extends her hand.

"Hi, I'm Penelope Garcia, I'm the team's technical analyst but you can call me The Goddess of All Knowing. And you must be Agent Emily Prentiss." She says brightly as you shake her hand and nod.

"Hi, Garcia what do you need?" JJ asks

"What I need is a girl's night out. We have a new member of our team to interrogate on all the juicy stuff."

She looks at you and you can tell she's excited. You hear her heart beat and she's sincere. But what would you expect from an obviously optimistic person. Yes, all the colors.

Wait, what does she mean by 'interrogate on juicy stuff'?

Meanwhile Garcia continues.

"I think we should go tonight before we catch a case, what do you think?" she looks at the two of us with a raised eyebrow waiting for the answer.

Should you say yes?

"I think that would be a great idea. I heard about this place with a great music. Emily, are you in?" JJ turns to you and you hesitate a little but then again what do you have to lose? You are going to work with these people and they are going to have to learn something about you. And you have a feeling Penelope Garcia is going to have a lot of questions.

So you manage a small smile, already a second one that day which is pretty good number for your measures.

"I'm in. Just let me know when and where." The two women exchange a smile and you turn to JJ again. "Did we cover everything? I should probably get some work done. I don't want to make a bad impression on my first day here."

You stand up and go for the door when JJ calls after you.

"I'll swing by your desk to tell you when and where, ok? And don't worry about Morgan, he'll come around." She smiles encouragingly.

You smile back, smile number three you note. "Thanks"

You walk out and to your desk.

This time no one dares to make any to you insulting noises but you don't think it will last long.

As you start to work on the files that had already appeared on your desk you can feel Morgan's eyes on you the whole time.

Yeah, what a great partner. Right now you know two things.

One: You'll have his back.

Two: He won't have yours.
