A/N Another short one for you guys. I'm having trouble uploading from home so the only place I can upload is from school. That being said the next time I upload may be Monday but I promise to have more than one chapter to upload by then.

"JJ have a seat," Hotch said looking his solemn self.
"What's up Hotch? Is everything alright?"
"Yeah, I got a file last week," Hotch said holding up the file, "along with a phone call. A friend of mine from the New York office sent it to me. One of their agents is struggling and they want her to move to a new position. Says she's reckless but smart. I've looked over her paperwork and I think she can handle the job but I'm going to need you and Emily on this one helping train her and get rid of the reckless streak," Hotch said.
"Don't you think Morgan would be better suited for that," JJ laughed.
Hotch let the tiniest of smiles crack at the corners of his mouth but returned stoic immidietely. "Normally yes but this is different," Hotch said handing JJ the file.
JJ looked at Hotch for a moment confused then opened the file. "Are you serious!" JJ all but shouted. "Hotch are you telling me that not only do you want to move my baby sister to our unit but you want me to train her?"
"Yes I do."
"Pshh…well I can tell you that won't happen," JJ said throwing the file onto his desk.
"Why not?"
JJ laughed. "Because Hotch, I have been trying to "break her reckless streak" for years." JJ stood up and began pacing. "Hotch Jess and I have problems because our parents have always played us against one another. More so her than I. My parents feel like I set a standard and they've always expected Jess to live up to it. And to her credit she has. She's probably smarter than me and more athletic and better with people and most likely a better agent but she never gets recognized. Not by our parents anyways. Now we've maintained a great relationship nonetheless but I am afraid what will happen if the two of us are put in a competitive environment." JJ knew she had probably overshared with her boss but for some reason, Spencer Reid Verbal Vomit Disorder took over and there was no stopping.
"JJ this is not a competitive environment where you're going to be pitted against one another. This is a team and Jessica would be a great addition to this team. Her scores are top notch and she has great instincts but I will not approve this request if you ask me not too. I will say however that in about ten months is everything goes according to plan, you and Emily will be taking a lot of time off," Hotch cracked a rare smile, "I would feel good if the person that was in here was someone the two of you trained and someone I felt comfortable with."
JJ sighed and picked up the file once again. She opened it to the picture of her sister. It was almost like looking into a mirror. After a few moments she made eye contact with Hotch and huffed. "Ok, I may regret this but do it. Make the call. I agree to train her."
"What about Emily?" Hotch asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh don't worry about Emily," JJ said with a coy smile, "I can convince her to do anything."
"I don't even want to know," Hotch said shaking his head, "Well I'm glad you agreed to this so quickly," Hotch stated looking at his watch.
"Why's that?"
"Because your sister will be here to start her orientation at noon."
JJ stood there dumbfounded, "Noon?" She finally asked after recovering.
"Yeah, I want to talk to her and let her meet the team."
"Wow, that's just in like…four hours."
"Yeah, is that a problem?"
"No…not at all. I'll let the team know to be on their best behavior because we'll be having a visitor," JJ laughed as she opened the door.
"JJ," Hotch said after her.
"Yeah?" JJ asked turning around.
"You made the right choice."
"I hope you're right," she replied and walked out the door.
A/N Hope you guys liked this one. If you did let me know. Chapter 5 is already in progress and I promise Jessica will meet the team in the next chapter. I just don't want to rush this story because I feel good about it. I'm also going to try to throw some teasers at you from time to time.
A/N Some things to think about: How will Derek respond to another player in the BAU?
