Eh...Tony somehow sneaked his way into this chapter...hahaha...This is sometime after the start of season 3 of both Supernatural and CM, after Gideon leaves and before Rossi joins the group, and after Gibbs leaves and comes back to NCIS...hopefully it makes sense hahaha...

~~Coup d'état~~

Too much had happened since he joined the BAU. Elle Greenaway left, Emily Prentiss joins… then Gideon leaves with only a letter to Reid. Sure it hurts to think about Gideon leaving the way he did but he understood thanks to Tony. Still he doesn't want to think about it any time soon… but life did go on and he had a job to do. Of course all cases were horrible but there were some that goes from horrible to hell. Like Tobias Hankel. Now that was hell but he did hope Tobias wasn't there. Another day another case but life is life right? Could be worse but at the moment it wasn't since Reid and the team are currently in Hawaii. He's definitely been all over the country but definitely not Hawaii. The case they had was certainly bad but fortunately the guy was caught before he could jump over the cliff. With the case closed Hotch gave everyone some time off before going back to Virginia…which was why at the moment everyone was at the beach relaxing. Just as Reid was about to go into the waters, his phone went off.

"Hello." Reid practically sang. Hey, you can't blame the guy for feeling relaxed after so long.

"So we may have screwed up and caused an apocalypse." Dean said getting right to business.

"You know…that would explain why Tony and I have been seeing so many demons lately…even in our cases." Of course they kept their eyes on the oddity but lately it seemed like there were demons in majority of their cases… and of course on the days they don't have any cases they would go hunting together.

"Well we did get the Yellow-Eyed demon…aka Azazel. Somehow dad's spirit came back and dragged Azazel back."

"Must've been tough seeing him."

"Sorta…we all got justice for mom…and Sam is back too."

"You have to explain that to me. Tony said to ask you about it cause he was too pissed to tell me." Oh yes Reid did try hard to get Tony to spill but he wouldn't. Partly because he was pissed and partly because he didn't have the heart to tell Reid. This was something Dean should say to Reid, not Tony. It wasn't fair for him to deliver the news when Dean told him two months ago.

"You're sitting down right?" Of course Dean would still tell Reid regardless if he was or wasn't but it was always better to sit when receiving bad news.

"Dean, I'm in Hawaii at the beach sitting on a beach chair getting ready to go surfing. I'm sure whatever it is you're about to say can't be that bad. I'm too relaxed."

"I made a deal with the crossroad demon to get Sammy back." Dean said in a rush. Unfortunately for him, Reid caught every single word.

"What?! And you couldn't find another way to get him back?" Now he was glad he was sitting.

"Don't start the lecture. I have enough of that from everyone. We're doing everything we can here…going through every book there is."

"Why didn't you say anything sooner? You have less than a year!" Reid shouted.

Dean sighed. "Didn't know how…"

"You told Tony two months ago!" Thankfully Reid's team wasn't within earshot because if he wasn't shouting earlier, he certainly was now.

"No…Sammy told him. I didn't want him to know!" If Reid and Dean weren't shouting then, they were now.

"Hope you know how much of an idiot you are!" Reid yelled.

Taking a deep breath Tony then said, "I know but listen, I don't want this consuming your time. Your friends need you."

"But when there's no case I will be going through everything. There has to be a loop hole somewhere…"

"Remember Spencer Reid. Don't let this consume your life. I'll come over and kick your ass if I have to. You forget you're an open book to me."

"You know…Henricksen is out for blood…do you even realize how weird it is to profile you two?! He went as far as going to CIA, US Marshalls, even NCIS! That didn't sit well with Tony either."

"I can only imagine. Two handsome guys on the run…maybe we should check out Hawaii…does sound nice. Away from everything…like Tobias Hankel! Something you failed to mention Reid! Found out from Sammy who found out from Tony!" And if he starts to call Reid by his last name, then Reid knew it was time to get clean.

"Didn't know how to tell you and Tony was the closest one to me. Guess we're even."

"Maybe…and the whole Gideon leaving?" Everyone knew how much Gideon is to Reid. He was basically his second dad.

Alright considering and I understand now why…surprisingly thanks to Tony who made me see reasons."

"Which is….?"

"He said Gideon is like Gibbs and he understood what I was going through." And it was true Tony knew what Reid was going through…

On the one weekend night that Tony and Reid had off and wasn't out hunting, Tony stopped by Reid's place.

"You alright? Heard about Gideon leaving."

"I just don't understand why he couldn't say it to my face. Gideon knew how much he meant to me...leaving with only a letter..."

"And that my dear cousin is why he couldn't say it directly."

"What do you mean?" Reid spent days trying to come up with an answer but no matter what, he was coming up empty.

"You and him know each other. He's basically your second dad. You remember me telling you Gibbs left then coming back right?"

"Right…" Reid was unsure of what Tony's point was at the moment.

"Gibbs came back because I asked him to. I may have been fine on my own but the team needed him. I needed him. I was being selfish and asked him to come back… and I knew Gibbs wouldn't say no to me if I asked to his face. He is what Gideon is to you: a second father. If Gideon had stuck around and explained or if you found him sooner….he wouldn't be able to leave."

"Who knew Tony DiNozzo can be deep…" Reid joked.

"Hey!"

"But I do see your point. I just wish he took his phone too."

"Too easy…and I know when he's ready, he'll be back."

With a defeated sigh Reid said, "I know…To Gideon and Gibbs."

"To Gideon and Gibbs." Tony followed. "Spencer…the next time you hear from Dean, ask him what happened with the djinn."

"Djinn? He actually crossed path with one?"

"Yea and it wasn't pretty."

"Alright, I'll ask him next time." Though Reid couldn't imagine what could happen.

"At least he's alright you know." Dean said, bringing Reid out of his thoughts. "What's done is done and you know the consequences of any job. Normal or not."

"Exactly…by the way, I need you to tell me something…" Reid started.

"What?"

"What happened with the djinn?"

"Nothing… it was…merely a simple hunt."

"Bullshit." And let it be known that Spencer Reid does know how to cuss. He just doesn't do it often… well, just not in front of his colleagues and friends.

"Fine… I got captured, Sammy almost got captured, I freed myself, saved us both and a woman who was missing." Short version sure but Dean was hoping Reid would accept it. Unfortunately not and Dean should've known better.

"Okay, now tell me what really happened. What did you see?" Reid pressed.

There was a pause and Reid thought Tony had hung up but Dean then started to talk. "Everything was normal… you know…the normal life. Everyone was alive, your mom was sane, no deaths or divorces…"

"But…"

"But it wasn't perfect. Of course Tony's still the same but dad's dead, Sammy and I aren't close, and everyone we once saved are dead. No one to save them since we were living the perfect life…" Dean trailed off.

"Was I in your fantasy world?" It wasn't hard to notice that Dean never mentioned Reid once. "Give it to me straight Winchester."

"You were in a psych ward."

"Well…better me than my mom…"

"Dude, you don't want to know why you were there in the first place. Don't know what's worse…everyone we saved dead or me wanting to stay there."

"What?! No! Of course you wanting to stay there is worse! Take it from a former addict. It's not real. The more you want, the more you'll go back to using. I know if you come across a djinn again and you still have the same thoughts, you'll want to stay and Sam, hell even Tony and I won't be able to save you!" Reid could start going into his usual statistic rant but he wanted Dean to see reasons. Without Dean in his life, Reid wouldn't be where he is today.

"Don't worry. I know what's real and what's not… and I have enough of the lectures from Sam and Tony. You know, I may have mom but it wasn't the same… Sammy not talking to me, dad and you gone…I do realize that this, what we have right now, is better. Always the short end sure but the four of us being alive and talking to each other is better. Listen, I gotta go. Don't let the crossroad demon and the contract get to you."

"I promise but you know I'll help somehow." Reid said with a new resolve.

"I know you will. Before I really go, talk to Elle. She misses you." And Dean hung up before Reid could say anything.

Reid couldn't help but worry. It was typical of Dean to do something stupid without really thinking things through. It's a wonder how all hunts are successful but he knows it's only because family was there to back him up. Reid only wish Dean didn't always have to shoulder everything. With that in mind, as soon as they get back, Reid decided he would meet up with Tony and come up with some kind of game plan. Fortunately the team is leaving for Virginia the next day. For today though, Reid decided he would relax with his friends.

Something was telling him he wouldn't be able to rest in a long time.

I always felt Gideon to a degree is like Gibbs...why he leaves without telling Reid except for a letter. Either way I like Gideon and all the old characters that was once on CM (except Jordan Todd. She somehow bothers me). If no one minds, I might include Elle in this too. I actually like her more than JJ only cause Elle is more badass to me, though JJ is still cool. For future reference tho, let's just say Elle really did shoot because of self-defense and there was a camera to back up her claims but she still leaves the BAU. Creative license and all you know... XD

...AAaaaand on that note, look out for Cas in the very near chapters! Won't be saying which tho hehe

...Random question but any VIPs out there? If there are then the only thing I have to say is Ringa Linga!

I hope you like this chapter and please leave a review! It lets me know if you guys love or hate this and it is good for motivations!
