From childhood's hour I have not been

As others were-I have not seen

As others saw-I could not bring

My passions from a common spring.

From the same source I have not taken

My sorrow; I could not awaken

My heart to joy at the same tone;

And all I lov'd, I loved alone.

Edgar Allan Poe

"Sir i think you need to see this." Paul said stepping into Gideon office.

"What is it?" He asked as Paul walked to the TV an turned it on.

"I'm sorry for any grieve the tales of my death might have caused but as you can hear i am very much alive." Gideon's eyes widen.

"Agent Storm can you tell us what happened?"

"As the news has reported i was attacked in my home an hospitalize, i have moved to a safer location that is all i can really say."

"Are you alright?"

"I am alive that is about as well as it gets i apologize but i most go."

Gideon turned it off an picked up his phone.

"Hotchner."

"Agent Storm is alive."

"Gideon how did you know?"

"You knew an forgot to tell me?"

"She didn't want anyone to know Rossi just found her in the back of his car-"

"She told the news everyone knows."

"What, damn it Gideon i have to go." Hotch said hanging up.

"Hotch what it is?" Morgan asked.

"Storm has given a damn press conference the world knows she's alive."

"What the hell was she thinking?" Prentiss asked as Rossi got on his phone.

"You saw the news?" Storm asked.

"No but i heard what were you thinking?"

"That there be to busy looking for me to kill someone else."

"Storm that was stupid-"

"What would you have done?"

"You're not to leave that house am i clear?"

"Where would i go i have broken ribs an a dislocated shoulder."

"An Stay off the phone unless you calling us."

"Yes Sir." She said hanging up.

"What was she thinking?" Morgan asked.

"That they'd try an find her an not hurt another family." Rossi sighted.

"That's what there'll do." Ried said.

"I know that, what i hate is i would have done the same damn thing if it was me yet I'm pissed she did it." Rossi commented.

"I think we all are, she's hurt an the thought of them finding her again is not something we want to think about." Morgan told him.

Phoenix looked at her phone when it rang an saw it was Strauss. "Yes?"

"Why was i not notified you were alive before the news?"

"Excuse me i think you meant to ask how are you doing Agent Storm, to which the answer would be as well as one could be." Storm replied.

"Of course i am concern about you Storm which is why I'm calling why were you not with Agent Hotchner an his team?"

"Ask him that."

"May i ask where you are an when you'll be back?"

"No an in a week or so i should be back."

"Right do take care an call me if you need anything."

"Uhah." She said hanging up when it rang again she saw her brothers name an turned back to her lap top.

When Hotchner an his team enter the BAU Hotch was meant by Strauss.

"Strauss." Hotch greeted.

"Why was Storm not with your team?" Strauss asked.

"I had reason to believe she was a target." Hotch told her.

"It seems you were right but they got her anyway." Strauss pointed out.

"Were not psychics." Rossi said walking past her.

"The fact remains-"

"That fact remains we did what we thought was best an we got screwed, ma'am." Morgan said going to his desk.

Strauss glared at them before storming off. Hotch shock his head an went to his office to find Gideon waiting for him.

"Jason."

"I think you need to see this." He said handing him a folder. "It was faxed to me this morning."

Hotch took the folder an sat down looking it over. "She's given you an account of what happen." Hotch said looking up at him.

Gideon nodded. "Look at the last page."

Hotch did an dropped the folder to his desk. "She put in for a transfer to your team?"

"She want the Liaison post. She's trying to put herself right out there it's not healthy she has a death wish." He sighed.

"She wants away from me." Hotch said closing his eyes. "She no longer trusts me."

"She can't trust me more then you." Gideon told him.

"She would be dealing with the press more then you." Hotch pointed out.

"I won't sign on if you don't want me to."

"You know her family do you think we have a choice if she wants that job she'll get it so just sign it." Hotch said doing just that. "Take care of her."

"I'll try." Gideon said taking the folder.

"How is her case coming?" Hotch asked.

"Strauss took it from us an gave it to the police." He said leaving Hotch to figure out how he was going to tell his team.

Of course he wouldn't need to because as soon as Gideon put in the paper work Garcia's Computer caught it an she raced up to her team.

"Hotch!" Garcia yelled storming into the room.

"Baby girl what is wrong?" Morgan asked turning to her as Rossi an Hotch walked out of there offices.

"Why is my little Sunshine girl leaving us?" Garcia said looking to Hotch.

"What?" The rest asked now looking at her.

"I have my Computer set to flag me if anyone puts in any team members name an it flags her because she's going with Gideon." Garcia explain.

"It's her choice." Hotch told her.

"But why?" Garcia asked.

"She doesn't trust us." Ried whispered.

"She doesn't trust me i was the one who had her stay behind it was i who knew the truth an keep it from her." Hotch replied.

"Hotch-"

"She has every right to not want to work for me." He said cutting his team off by going into his office.

Rossi entered his home an found her sitting in the window.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You would have tired to change my mind." She said not looking at him.

"Storm i know you're hurting but this is not Hotches fault he couldn't have know an telling you the truth would do nothing." Rossi told her.

"I would have know people were trying to kill me!" She yelled at him getting up.

"An what would you have done Storm go after them, would you have even believed him if he told you your father lied to you?"

"I don't know but i had the right to know who i am!" She yelled back.

"An he had the right to try an protect you!"

"But he didn't protect me he left me behind an they raped me!" she screamed falling to her knees in tears.

Rossi walked over to her an tired to hold her but she pushed him away.

"Don't touch me, just stay the hell away from me!" She shouted backing up from him.

"I can't do that Storm, you're heading for destruction an i can't stand by an watch." He said kneeling in front of her.

"I'm already destroyed." She cried looking away from him. "No one will want to come near me now not after they find out."

"Phoenix look at me. Phoenix!" Rossi said reaching out an turning her head. "If they turned away because of that then they never deserved to even know you. You're still a beautiful women they can not take that away from you only you can." He said wiping a tear away.

"My Doctor told you something before he left i couldn't hear what is was but you never told me anything what was it?" She asked holding the hand that was on her cheek.

"Nows not-"

"Dave tell me i want to trust you please don't hide things from me."

Rossi sighted pulling her up he sat on the couch with her by his side. "You can't have kids." He told her watching her he was shocked to find she didn't start to cry.

"That was all?" She asked him.

"Yes the rest you know." He said still watching her.

"I never wanted to be a mother so its no big lost. "She shrugged leaning into his embrace. "You're a nice man Rossi that surprises me i always thought you were this big tough guy,but you can be sweet to. Why did your marriages never work?"

"Tell me why you never wanted kids an I'll tell you." He told her.

"You know me would you want to be my kid, i can't interact with people my own age with out some how pissing them i would never have time for a kid the job is all i know i wouldn't know what to do with myself if i wasn't working."

"Most of them just wanted the money an fame not the man. The others well it was lust not love an that doesn't last for long." Rossi told her.

"They were stupid the man is better then the fame." She told him.

"Thank you." Rossi smiled.

"I know Hotch is your friend Dave an i know you'd trust him with your life but i can not say the same an i can not work for him, I'm sorry i know it upset the team i just hope they can understand why i have to leave." She sighted.

"When you say they you really mean Ried don't you?"

"I told him i would never leave him not like his dad an Gideon but i am, I've never broken my word before."

"He understands he just wishes he could help, you should let him see-"

"No i don't want him to see me like this if he dose it will stay with him an i don't want that." She said shaking her head.

"So you'll go work for Gideon an stay here until you find a place." Rossi said.

"I'd like something out here its nice." she mumbled.

"It is have you taken your meds?" Rossi asked watching her eyes fall shut.

"mm." She mumbled.

Rossi smiled picking her up he headed up to his room no point in going to deferent room he would just end up waking with her screaming again maybe if he stayed with her she'd sleep all night.

Sleep hath its own world, A boundary between the things misnamed Death and existence: Sleep hath its own world, And a wide realm of wild reality, And dreams in their development have breath, And tears and tortures, and the touch of joy.
