Getting Comfortable

He made a sharp turn and got onto the Freeway before he turned off his sirens. He could hear his son laughing and edging him on. Garcia was laughing too, her face pink with excitement even though her fingers were dig into the leather seat.

She looks at him, eyes brighter than he saw before.

"Well look at you Charlie Brown! If I knew Snoopy here,'' she starts pointing at Jack, "had this much influence on you, I would of ask him to pass on favors for me!"

"This was a special occasion, don't get use to it!'' he replies, more to his son than her.

"Awww! Can't we do it when we go back to mom's? Pretty please? I'll be good for the whole trip!'' was Jack reply with his best puppy dog face yet.

"Sorry buddy, this is for emergency only and you will be good the entire trip, right?''

''Yes dad.'' he sighs.

Garcia couldn't help but giggle, this little moment was so endearing!

"So my little hero in training, are you excited about the next days?'' she asks

"Yes! We're going to climb mountains and sleep outside! There'll be a fire camp! We can grill hotdogs and marshmallows! I can't wait!" he babbles, his good humor coming back.

Hotch sends a thankful glance to Garcia.

"Really now? Then we'll have to make s'mores!'' she quips.

"S'mores?'' the child inquires.

"You don't know them!? Mr. Hotchner how could you do this to your only son!?" she gasps shock, playfully swatting his arm causing Jack to points and laugh at his father's expense.

"In my defense, he doesn't need anymore energy as it is!" he said sheepishly.

"Don't worry sugar! Aunty P will teach you!"

"What's in it?"

"You put marshmallow and chocolate between two large cookies before roasting them over the fire."

Jack's eyes twinkled got big and his smile even bigger.

"Really!?"

"You betcha!"

"Oh! Boy! When will we sleep outside dad?''

"Tomorrow, after we go hiking.''

''Great!" he said before pulling out his video game.

They drove for half an hour in a comfortable silence, each adult in thoughts. Garcia was glad she agreed to this. It will do her good than just sit home alone or roaming out outside trying to distracts herself until either the girls or Derek had time for her. Not that she was complaining but since she was estrange with her brothers and that most of her hacker friends didn't leave in her area she got lonely, even more so after her breakup with Kevin. She studied Hotch from the corner of her eyes. What could be this top secret work that needed her to hack into something? Maybe it wasn't that big of a deal he seemed relaxed. That could be because he was with his son or that he mastered a long time ago to hide his stress. She looked back outside to view the scenery. No, she believed she could read him a little, he was at peace and she sent a little thank you to whatever was the cause of it, because in her book he was one of the few that deserved it.

Hotch didn't have any particular thought aside what he had in place for his son for the next four days. He missed him, sometimes he would sit in Jack's room for hours just looking around, recalling the few conversations they had. He was growing up too fast and he felt like he was missing crucial stages of it. He tried to go out so he wouldn't sulk at home. He went more often with the team when they decided to go out for drinks, a few times he'd let Morgan and Rossi drag him out to "have a good time", a few of those time they succeed in enrolling Reid into it, which was a sight to see! He had rare flings but nothing serious, it always felt wrong somehow, (not that he was still hung up on Haley, though he will always care about her), but he never let them meet Jack, he saw so little of him, he was kind of selfish of this time. The custody battle not settled yet it was a constant bargain fest to have access to his own son! Come on Hotchner, now is not the time to think about it. He looked into the review mirror and couldn't help but smile. Jack looked so content, he fell asleep a few minutes ago. Somehow Garcia had picked up on it a grab his game before it hit the floor. The woman didn't stop to amaze him and he should be use to it by now with what she accomplishes at work!

"I know this should come from Jack but, are we there yet?" Garcia inquires with a sheepish smile.

Hotch chuckles, "In around ten, fifteen minutes… does little missy needs to go potty?" he answers with a smirk.

"Well I'll be!" she tried not to laugh to loud to keep from waking little Hotchner.

A warm feeling came over Hotch and for once he didn't try to suppress it, he just enjoys it. He likes the fact that he's able to get this sound out of her… hum! He means out of someone.

"I know I said the next days sounded promising, but they will be down right entertaining if you keep this up, you little rascal!" she quipped between laughs.

"The only reason I ask is because Robin might get up soon and need it!"

"Are you calling me Batman?" he asks.

"Do you prefer Superman?"

"I don't think so, how do come up with it anyway?" he replies a little baffle.

"Well unless you're hiding super powers, I think Batman fits, you're able to set aside feelings or personal motive to think straight and form the best plan possible before jumping in, because since you don't own super powers to help you see inside a close room, come in and get out under a second or a bulletproof body, you have to be prepared for every outcome you can think of. And let's face it, it takes a lot of proving ourselves for you to even begin to start thinking about trusting us."

Hotch mulls this for a few minutes.

"Ok I got to give it to you, do the rest of the team. I'm sure you have them all named already."

"You got me there! Alright I call Rossi Green L.A.. I feel like he's a mix of the Green Arrow and the Green Lantern. As much that he's conservative with his way to solve crimes and work in a structural law based environment, sometimes he will break free of it to make his own rules and makes sure that not only the criminals are dealt with but also what made criminals in the first place is a raised issue. Not to mention his filthy rich… although Green Arrow lost his fortune at some point…"

Hotch smiles and lets her go on.

"My little sweet pea you have to guess it… the Question. It goes without saying and I don't need to elaborate if you're a true comic fan!" she smirks at him.

"The genius was a given and his superior deductive reasoning and inquisitive mind, yes go on." he replies.

"Now you have to know that the ladies of this team could only be the Birds of Prey. My little Jayje is Black Canary, the daughter of the original. The way she handles the media and county beat up cops makes me think of the Canary's cry that incapacitate her opponents. Lady Emily…'' she misses the slight wince of Hotch at that name, "no she's not the Huntress but Cassandra Cain as the new Batgirl. Her skills to read people and I saw her hold her own in altercations with a few un-subs. I know I'm cheating a little but I feel it would be a great addition to the crew.'' she pauses.

"That leaves you, let me guess, The Oracle formerly known as Batgirl?" he inquires.

"You got it Batman! True I didn't fight crime before, but like you know I stopped dancing after my parents got killed, I don't know, I think I understand a little the feeling of being stuck in a chair and deciding to make the best of it…" she finishes more to herself, loosing the perkiness she had when starting.

"Look at me, who would have thought I'd be the one to brood! Well the last but not the least Derek Morgan!"

This time she saw him tense the slightest wondering why?

"Superman no questions! But a mix of the early one, really rough on the edges, and the one we know now. As much as he has a moral code, Morgan tends to jump in to save the widow and the orphan cause he thinks he has to cause there is no time to wait, he might also think that he's indestructible the way he jumps in!"

"Good, real good Penelope, I see you put a lot of thought into it."

They continue talking about the pros and con of each member's character and a few others in the FBI building until they reach the cabin.
