Reid's P.O.V.

I went back into the room a few minutes later, when i did i saw Elena standing by the window with her back to the door. She had changed into a pair of scrub bottoms and the wearing a t-shirt. I closed the door silently but then she said

"I forgot what it feels like"

"What, what feels like"

"The sun" that's when i noticed the small ray of sunshine coming through the curtains. I sighed before walking to her side saying

"Whenever you want to talk about it, you know I'm here right" I saw a small smile of her face as she responded with

"I know, as my best friend it's your job. But I'll only talk on one condition"

"What?"

"You don't profile me"

"Elena you know I've never been able to profile you" she walked past me saying

"I was always the better profiler, Einstein" as she Sat down on the bed I said

"You are not" after I said that we heard Derek's voice.

"Yeah she is, Pretty boy" Garcia pushed passed him and immediately engulfed Elena in a bone crushing hug. Elena gasped before saying

"Hey, Penny. I missed you but please let go"

"I can't"

"You have to"

"Why"

"Because it really hurts" She released Elena, who then clutched her chest Garcia then said

"Sorry, i just can't believe that you're here"

"It's okay, Pen. i'm still trying to process things as well". Derek then hugged Elena Gently as he said

"Hey Princess, you're looking better"

"Id feel so much better if you stopped calling me princess"

"Never going to happen". JJ then embraced her whilst saying

"Things haven't been the same without you, Elena"

"Thanks J" Next was Emily

"Welcome Home, Elena"

"Feels good to be home" when Emily pulled out of the hug Elena looked at Dave and said

"Thank you" Rossi looked confused before saying

"For what"

"Keeping this lot out of trouble"

"It wasn't easy"

"Yeah, i know" Garcia then picked up a box and placed it on the bed. Elena then said

"Pen, whats this"

"Care package. You're going to be here a while" Hotch then came into the room and said

"Guys, i need to talk to Elena in private for a moment" one by one the team left the room but i hesitated. Elena Placed a hand on my arm and said

"It's okay" i nodded before stepping out of the room.

Elenas P.O.V.

After reid closed the door Hotch stood at the end of the bed. He then said

"How are you feeling?"

"Like i've been hit by a train" I saw a small smile grace his lips, but that soon dropped. He then said

"I spoke to Chief agent Stouse Last night"

"Okay, what did you tell her"

"I just gave her the report of Kol and What we found"

"What did she say"

"She said that you'll have to have a full reinstatement interview, but for that to happen you have to pass a series of physical assessments to the standards that you would have before this happened. You'll have to see a therapist weekly, even when you get reinstated. And until you get a clean bill of health from the doctors and therapist you have to stay at Quantico with Garcia and wont be allowed in the field"

"Right"

"Elena, do want to come back to the BAU?"

"I… I don't know yet. I need to think"

"Of course, take as much time as you need. We are here if you need to talk to someone"

"Thank you Hotch"

Two weeks later

Reid's P.O.V.

So for the past 4 days the team have been in Florida for a case. For that time I've asked Garcia to check on Elena daily, which she did. Elena has been doing okay, shes been taking her medication, doing the correct rehabilitation and the doctor say she could leave soon. We landed a few hours ago and I've already been home and got changed into some fresh clothes. I got changed into a pair of black denim jeans, a blue t-shirt, pair of converse and my coat. I picked up a coffee on the way to hospital. I soon approached Elena's room and heard laughter. Feeling confused i opened the door and was shocked when i saw the person in the room with Elena

"Gideon?!"
