(OC POV)

I giggled and turned to look at my brother who merely rolled his eyes and looked at me dryly, my hand rising to cover my mouth before another giggle spell took over me before I could stop it.

"This is Daphne and Xavier Zacharias. They are the governments leading experts in criminal behavioral analysis and come with a recommend letter from the President's oval office." Hotch said as he moved forward to stand with Morgan and Garcia in front of them, my eyebrow rising as I turned to look at Xavier with a wide smile at the irony of the recommendation.

"I apologize for my sister, she is still recovering from the jetlag." my brother said as he set a hand on my shoulder and smiled innocently at the team, my eyes narrowing as I glared at him and batted his hand off of me in irritation.

"Hey!" I barked out as I shoved him only for him to not move whatsoever much to my embarrassment, my arms crossing as a pout came over my expression as a blush covered my cheeks.

"See?" he muttered with a playful smile as he reached over and tried to mess up my hair, a scowl now covering my features as I slapped his hand down before I could reach my head.

"Anyways! It is an honor to work with the infamous FBI BAU and I am hoping that we work efficiently to catch this bastardo before he kills anyone else." I said to change the subject as I subtly elbowed my brother in the ribs to shut him up, a quiet grunt leaving him but he wisely kept quiet while I was speaking to save his torso.

"Let's convene in the meeting room." Hotch said before leading us to the room that he spoke of while me and my brother bickered quietly, the team silently following us though I heard them murmuring so I ignored them politely. Once we were all inside and seated Hotch went to the projector screen in front of us, my brother leaning back and resting a hand across the top of my chair as he got comfortable.

"Alright team, introduce yourselves so we can get down to business. You know me and J.J." Hotch said as he gestured between himself and the blonde that was seated near him, a smile on my face as I nodded in greeting to both of them before glancing around.

"David Rossi, pleasure to meet you compagni italiani ." an older man said with a slight accent as he waved subtly before lowering his hand, my eyebrow rising as I recognized that accent being as it was much like my own.

"Mateo Cruz, but please call me Cruz." the man next to him said with a slight Spanish accent as he merely nodded at us, my brother elbowing me and winking at me and I knew I owed him another 10 bucks.

"Alex Blake, call me Blake." she said while following Cruz's example and merely nodding at us in greeting with a small smile, her aged face pinched because of the stress that she was trying to hard to hide unsuccessfully.

"Derek Morgan, but you can call me your man." the muscled man to my left said as he leaned towards me with a flirtatious wink and a smirk, my brother shifting beside me and I could see the angry glare set into his features already.

"Penelope Garcia, but you can call me your tech goddess." the blonde to our right said as she ran her fingers down my brother's arm with a sultry smirk, my brother's glare turning into a flirtatious smile and her turned towards her slowly.

"Spencer Reid." the man next to her said as he looked out from behind his bangs with a shy smile and a blush, his nimble hand rising in a wave towards us before it settled into his lap again and he looked away. Hotch started talking about the case again gathering everybody's attention easily, a slightly frown on my face as I studied the resident genius who's hazel eyes looked haunted.

(Spencer's POV)

I tried to focus on what Hotch was saying but all that came up in my mind was the image of Daphne, the beautiful woman who would be helping us on this case and hopefully many more after this one. Her hair smelled like vanilla and brown sugar when she passed me to sit down next to Morgan, her flowery perfume mixing in with it to make the scent irresistible as I saw Morgan smell her. Just her presence was enough to comfort me and send away the demons that plagued me, my eyes closing momentarily to try and remember the way it felt when her gaze met my own. Before I realized it Hotch dismissed us so we could grab our stuff and get to the jet, my hands rising to rub my eyes so I could focus on what I needed to do to get this guy.

"Hi, I am Daphne." a soft voice said from my left while I was rubbing my eyes causing me to stop what I was doing, my hazel eyes wide as I turned and looked up at the woman that was just plaguing my thoughts.

"Reid." I said with a slight smile though I didn't reach out to try and shake her hand and it seemed she understood, a soft smile on her lips as she sat down facing me and tilted her head to study my expression with a keen eye. I fidgeted under her gaze and I couldn't help but wonder what exactly she was looking for, a soft laugh leaving her before her smile widened and she winked at me playfully instead.

"I would much rather call you Spencer." she murmured before she stood and may her way out of the room where her brother was waiting, my heart beating in my chest as I tried to wrap my mind around the fact that she flirted with me. With me. And not Morgan.

"Today is wierd." I muttered before gathering my folder and making my way out of the room to grab my go bag, subtly looking for Daphne though she was nowhere to be seen and I assumed she already left. Shrugging I grabbed my stuff from my desk and followed the rest of the team out onto the tarmac, just catching a glimpse of Daphne before she disappeared into the jet with her brother following.

"I see you have a crush; good choice." Morgan said as he winked at me then hissed in pain when Garcia glared at him and smacked his arm, his attention turning towards her as they started bickering over the introductions earlier.

"Right." I muttered to myself as I was the last to board the plane and saw Daphne talking with her brother in the back, her gaze raising to meet mine before a smile lit up her face and she winked at me again. When I blinked she was facing her brother again and he seemed to be teasing her, a beautiful blush covering her face as she glared at him indignantly and pouted slightly. My mind finally started working again and I reached up to put my luggage away finally.
