Locked in – Part 4

Authors Note: PENELOPE TO THE RESCUE! How'd you like it?

I was thinking about doing an Inception/Criminal Minds crossover instead of Sherlock Holmes because more people reviewed those stories rather than the Sherlock Holmes. I haven't posted the other parts yet, so I don't know if I've gotten any reviews on that.

Anyway, I hope you like it.

"Okay, now." Penelope said as she looked at the team members that were all in a circle, looking at the team members with a smile on her face, then it fell once she saw all the expressions on her team members faces. "Alright, well." Penelope said as she folded her hands in her lap. "This is a little exercise I'd like to call explaining your feelings to each other without getting upset or routy." Penelope said as if she were talking to a preschool class. Which she felt she was.

"Wh-" Derek began.

"Hush, child." Penelope said. "Now, what this exercise means is when I pick a person to share their feelings, they will go around the room starting with the person to their right and ending with themselves."

"We have to share feelings about ourselves?" Emily asked. "Doesn't that seem self-centered?"

"It puts us at piece. Now, no more talking unless I tell you to." Penelope said as she looked around the room. JJ was on her left, then Derek, Then Hotch, then Rossi, then Emily, then Spencer, then back to Penelope. "Derek. You go first."

"I don't see wh-"

"Derek." Penelope snapped, Derek let out a groan and gave in.

"Fine. Hotch." he said as he looked at Hotch.

"Nicely, need I remind." Derek rolled his eyes.

"Hotch," he said in a nicer way. "I am very angry at you because you don't listen to me and get on my case all the time. Rossi I am mad at you because you act like you're all wise and mighty because your older than everyone here. Prentiss, you're acting like a man-"

"What the he-"

"No rebuttals. Continue Derek." Penelope said before Emily yelled at Derek or something.

"Reid, you are so annoying because you use everything I say to bite me in the ass. Garcia-" Derek began, he let out a sigh. "Penelope, you've been giving me the cold shoulder and I have no idea why and JJ, you're annoying especially when you think you're better than me." Derek paused, then sighed. "I feel really sorry for being such an asshole lately. It's just really hot." Derek said as he nodded and let out a sigh. "Wow that feels a lot better."

"Great job Derek. Now, Hotch."

"To start off on a good note, I have nothing against Rossi. Prentiss you are acting like you are above everyone else. Reid, I don't care about the phases rocks go through when they are evolving, nor do I care about more than half of the things you say. Garcia, recently you've been hesitant to complete the tasks I have asked you to complete, JJ you are doing the same exact thing. Morgan, you are no longer taking orders and I feel you are reverting back to how you were when you first joined the BAU. And I am sorry for acting so childish."

"Rossi." Penelope said.

"Okay, well for starters, I was angry at you Penelope because you were cheery when I was mad, JJ you're trying to act as my equal, and here in the work place, we are not equal. Morgan you keep acting like you're all that, you're not. Prentiss, you act like nothing ever bothers you. Reid, you keep spiting out random facts no one cares about. And I'm sorry for being so hard on you kid." Rossi said, Penelope nodded.

"Em."

"Spencer... I'm not mad at you. Penelope you were all giddy when I was pissed, JJ you act like you're all innocent all the time, Hotch... Hotch. I don't care about what is right and what is wrong. I know what is right and what is wrong, It's not like I did anything wrong to deserve that talk. Rossi, I don't care about your speeches either. And Derek. Oh, Derek. I am sick of your big head. And I am sorry for offending all of you." Emily said as she let out a sigh. "I do put on a shield, and that's because I suck at coping with things."

"Spencer," Penelope spoke quietly, Spencer looked up. He didn't like this situation.

"Alright, well..." Spencer began. "Garcia, you never listen to me, JJ, you never care to listen to my about anything, Morgan, you act like you're so high and mighty, Hotch you keep snapping at me when I give you the information you need, Rossi you don't listen to my fair points to anything, And I'm sorry for talking all the time... I have a lot of knowledge and need someone to tell it to." Spencer told everything. Penelope's turn, he let out a breath.

"Alright, JJ i'm not mad at you, but Derek.. you don't listen to me when I need you to most. Hotch and Rossi are both acting superior to the point where it sickens me, Emily you show now feelings, you're like a brick wall. Spencer, you talk way to much sweetie." Penelope said. "And I'm sorry for the things that I've said and that I even let this situation get to this point."

"Let me just start with you, Derek. You have a big head and you are not all that. Hotch you and Rossi need to get rid of your egos, Emily you act like you're superior over every other woman, Spence," JJ let out a sigh. "I get annoyed by your intellect, some of it is jealousy. So, I am sorry for the way I acted." JJ told everyone. Penelope let out a sigh of relief.

"Now, don't we all feel so much better?" Penelope asked the team with a smile. Everyone was against the idea at first, and didn't want to admit she was right. Then they sighed and nodded. "Group hug!" Penelope said as she stood up and extended her arms, Everyone smiled and got up to hug one another.

"Hey! Hey!" Derek screamed as he saw a white envelope slip underneath the glass door, he ran over and put his hands on the glass. "COME BACK! UNLOCK THE DOOR!" he said as he watched the person walk to the stairs. He let out a sigh as Spencer reached down and opened the envelope.

"'Dear Team'," he read. "'You have passed the first test. Congratulations. Now here is your second test. The next two hours will be spent the same way the past 45 minutes have been spent. With no power. You may not fight one time within your team or the time starts right back over, if you succeed, you will be rewarded. Think you can handle the heat?'"
