Previously on criminal minds

Elenas P.O.V.

I tackled Kal to the ground and began punching her over and over again. Her face soon became covered in blood and so was my fist

"ELENA!" I ignored Hotch and kept punching

"ELENA STOP!". Morgan pulled me off Kal and held me back whilst saying

"She can't tell us where Reid is if she's dead. Take a breath" I looked back at Kal and saw her lying on the floor laughing and her face was covered in blood and bruises. I pushed away from morgan and looked down at my right hand, my knuckles were bleeding and bruised. Kal was taken into Custody and had her wounds cleaned up before being transferred to Quantico…..

"I was angry with my friend;

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.

I was angry with my foe:

I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I waterd it in fears,

Night & morning with my tears:

And I sunned it with smiles,

And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night.

Till it bore an apple bright.

And my foe beheld it shine,

And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole,

When the night had veild the pole;

In the morning glad I see;

My foe outstretched beneath the tree"

-William Blake

Elenas P.O.V.

After convincing Hotch that i was okay to talk to Kal i had my hand bandaged up before going down the hall to the interrogation room. I entered the room and saw Kal just staring at me with bruises all across her face, he hands were in cuffs and attached to the table in front of her. I leant against the wall before speaking

"Let me explain what's happening here, you are a criminal, i've watched you murder innocent people, i have the authorisation to end you. And the only reason you are alive is because i am allowing it""

"Oh el, are you going to punch me again, over and over . till you arm weakens, clearly you want to. So tell me why did you allow me to live."

"We all make mistakes. Where is he Kal?" she sunk back in the chair and said

"I don't know" i pushed off the wall and walked around the interrogation room saying

"Do you have any idea how many people have sat across that table and confessed their sins to me. What makes you think that you're any different, any smarter. You've already been in this room for one hour. but this room, this room has been my life, my home Since i was 19 years old. So i will not let you sit there and lie to me in my own home" i then placed my hands onto the table looking down at her. She sat forwards, looked into my eyes and said

"That's my girl. All that anger, built up inside of you for years, all that pain. He was the only one that made it better wasn't he" i didn't say anything

"Knew it"

"What do you want from me Kal. you've already taken everything from me" her facial expression then changed. She looked down before saying

"That wasn't my intention El"

"Then what was your intention. You drugged me and removed multiple different organs…. It wasn't you, was it?" she didn't look up at me. I glanced up at the camera and gave a small nod, the next thing i knew the small light went off. I then took a seat across from her and said

"Okay, Kally. Right now my only concern is Spencer. Forget everything else" i held her hands and said

" i'm not asking as a federal agent right now Kal. I'm asking as a friend, your friend, alright. Spence, has been through enough in his life, just like us. The only difference is that we've learnt to cope with pain a lot better than he has. Please Kal, if you ever loved him, truly loved him, tell me where he is" She then looked up at me and i saw a slight tear in her eye. She took a breath before saying

"I don't know where he right now but I know where he'll be tonight"

"Where?"

Reids P. O.V

I was lead through the building and when we entered another room there were rich looking people around and a muscly guy standing in a empty swimming pool. I turned to Kol and said

"Is this what you made Elena do?"

"At first"

"I won't fight" after saying that I was pushed into the empty pool and basically forced to fight.

The guy I was forced to fight was a fairly big, seriously strong guy. What doesn't help with this situation is that I'm absolutely drained, all my strength has been depleted from the other fights. There was no time to catch my breath between punches, every inch of my body is bruised. Anyway back to the fight. We've been fighting for a good 15 minutes now, and am losing more and more by the second.

Soon I was kicked in the chest hard and fell onto my back and smacked my head at the same time. All the breath In my lungs and pain surged through my body. As I'm gasping for air my competitor walked towards me saying

"You lasted longer than most, Kid. Who taught you to fight?" I managed to reply

"My…Best…Friend" he had picked up a rusty pole and came closer to me.

"Well, I hope you got to say goodbye" as he lifted the pole I closed my eyes only thinking about one thing, well person.

'I'm sorry Elena' memories of Elena flashed through my mind for a split second before I heard a familiar voice

"HEY! PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE"

I couldn't tell you what happened next even if I wanted to, the pain coursing through my body was overwhelming. I was seriously struggling to breath, I was breathing fast and i was trying to control the pain in some way, I clutched my chest as it tightened. Seconds later I heard familiar voices all around, the first voice sounded like Rossi

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you had a fantastic evening, the nice gentleman with the hats and guns are going to take you to jail. Thank you very much for your patience, come on" for a moment I forgot I was actually being watched when fighting.

A hand was then on my shoulder, I turned and saw Morgan next to me

"Reid are you alright Kid?"

"My chest hurts"

"Can you stand?" I nodded through the pain. He then said

"Let's get you out of here and get you checked out" He helped me up and wrapped one of my arms around his shoulders. As we walked outside I said

"Elena, is she…" he cut me off by saying

"She's fine, Kid" when we got outside I was taken to an ambulance

Elenas P. O.V

Hotch wouldn't let me go find Reid but i get why. The team have been gone for a couple of hours now and its making me nervous. However, when my phone started ringing I immediately answered it and put it it on speaker, Garcia spoke first

"Hotch" he then replied

"We got him" I then said

"Is he okay"

"mostly, few bruises, couple broken ribs, some cuts, sprained wrist, nothing too major. He's going to the hospital to get him checked out" Garcia then said

"We'll meet you there"

"Okay"I then said

"Hotch hang on a sec" I picked up my phone, took it off speaker before saying

"I'll meet you in a bit, there's something I have to do first"

"Whatever she tells you… "

"I'll tell you. Make sure he's okay, I'll be there soon"

"Okay, Elena" I then hung up the phone and said to Garcia

"Go, I'll meet there in a bit" I turned to head to the Interrogation room as Garcia said

"Elena, give her hell" I then walked out one way whilst she went to other.

When I entered the interrogation room, Kal looked up. I closed the door and said

"We got him, he's safe"

"So why are you here with me and not with him" I sat down and said

"You hired kol 2 years ago, that much I know. But I want to know who hired you to do what you did all those years ago" she leant forward and said

"You won't find them"

"A name"

"If they want you to find them then they will find you"

"Kally I need a name"

"you know their name. You've known it since the day you were born" it took a second to click and then I said

"That's not possible"

"Elena you should know by now, just about anything is possible"

"I watched them die"

"Did you really?" I didn't respond, I just dropped my eyes. She then said

"You may have an eidetic memory but you have a habit of deleting things you don't want to remember"

"i watched them die, I was there"

"you watched someone die, but it wasn't them Elena" I then stood up and swung the door open, as I walked out she yelled

"YOUR PARENTS ARE ALIVE. THEY'LL COME FOR YOU ELENA, YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY THIS TIME" i just kept walking.

At the Hospital

I walked into the hospital and after getting directions to the room Spence was in I headed down there. When I got to the end of the hall I could see Rossi and Hotch through the doors talking in the hall outside Reid's room. I pushed the door open slightly before saying

"Hotch, can I have a word"

"Yeah" he stepped through the door and when it closed he said

"What did Kally say?"

"It's hard to explain but apparently the people who hired her are my parents"

"The Miller's?"

"Not the Miller's"

"I thought your biological parents were dead"

"So did I" I ran my hand through my hair before saying

"I don't know what to think right now"

"Elena, we'll figure this out, okay, we always do. We will do it together as family. Okay"

"Yeah"

"For now, Reid is in that room. Go and see him. Oh and you've got the couple of days off" I smiled before saying

"Thank you Hotch" we then walked back towards Reids room.

Hotch went in first and said

"Guys" the team looked at him and when they saw me behind him they left the room, Garcia spoke as she was leaving

"We'll see you later Junior G man". I couldn't get a clear view of Spence but I could tell Garcia hugged him, Morgan was next he patted his shoulder and said

"Have fun Pretty Boy" he then left with a smile on his face. I hit him as he passed me. One by one the rest of the team left the room and I leant wall next to the door. Hotch was the last one to leave and as he passed me I got a clear view of Spence. His hair was longer, he had a beard, a bruise on his cheek and was sat on the edge of the bed with his left hand bandaged up . When the door closed behind me he said sheepishly

"Hey"

"Hi" I had my arms folded across my chest as I spoke, he scratched the back of his neck with his good hand before speaking

"Morgan said that you were angry about what i did" I sighed before pushing off the wall and walking towards him whilst saying

"I was, I was so mad. I was mad at Kal, mad at you and mad at myself. I couldn't save you" I then felt a tear rolling down my face,I whipped it away before saying

"But I understand why you did it, it was the exact same reason I went with Kol. You wanted to keep me safe, I wanted to keep you safe" I then lifted my left hand and bruised some hair behind his ear before running my thumb over the bruise on his cheek. I then said

"Does it hurt much?"

"It's not that bad, El. I've had worse" I smiled at what he said and that's when he nudged me and said

"There it is"

"What"

"That smile, I haven't seen you smile in so long"

"Yeah well I'm here now. And I'm not going anywhere any time soon"

"I'm going to hold you to that"

"I'd expect nothing less Einstein" he took my hand from his face and held it as he said

"Are we going to talk about what was said or…" I cut him off by putting a finger on his lips and said

"Spence, shut up" I then leant my head down and pressed my lips against his. The kiss was sweet, romantic and quite frankly it made me feel whole again. It made me feel like nothing had ever changed.

We held the kiss for a couple of minutes and when I pulled away I pressed my forehead against his and said

"I love you"

"I love you too…Elena I know what Kol did to you, we can go as slow as you need"

"Spence we've waited years, I don't want to wait anymore. But first things first" I ran my finger down his chin and through his beard before saying

"This has got to go"
