All mistakes are my own
Reid fired the metal arrow at the duo standing above them but was surprised when the woman deflected it and let out a large giggle. "This is going to be fun. I want you," she grinned as she brought out two small axes.
Adira swiftly dodged a knife that the man threw at her. "I've got him if you've got her."
"Go," Reid nodded before putting his bow back on his back and pulling out his small swords. He used a crate to jump onto the shipping container and charged at the woman as she began to charge at him. The man disappeared after Adira. Reid blocked the two axes as they tried to hit his thighs. He continued to dodge every swift and quick attack that the woman dealt to him until she managed to catch him on the shoulder. He kicked her back and ignored the pain as he fought back and tried to stab her. Her training was expert and her ability to defend herself against him was impressive. Deciding on another tactic, he dropped both of his swords and grabbed both of her wrists.
"Little prick," she growled as he swept out the back of her leg and slammed her into the top of the shipping container. Reid wrestled the small axes and threw them out of her reach. Reid grunted as the woman wrapped her legs around his neck and began to squeeze. His body slammed into the container as she rolled and flipped him over so that she sitting on his chest.
"You know you look kinda cute," the woman smirked. "It's a shame I'm going to have to kill you. We could've had a lot of fun."
"I don't go with psycho bitches," Reid grunted before punching her in the chest. She fell away from him giving him the opportunity to grab one of his swords. A yelp filled the air plunged the sword into her chest. He ripped the sword away and watched her body fall back.
Jumping from the container, he listened to hear the sound of a man grunting and quickly rushed to see if Adira was okay. He stopped just short of the corner when he heard Adira laughing. It was a malicious and sick laugh that he had never heard from her. He peeked around to see her slowly twisting one of her knives into the man's stomach.
"Your boss's end is coming," Adira grinned. "We're going to take it all. Every empire must fall and my father's empire will rise from the ash of your pathetic boss's empire."
Reid flinched as she ripped out the knife and stabbed it into the man's forehead. He stepped out and kept both of his weapons in his hands. "What the hell did you mean?"
Adira turned around and stared at Reid. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"We're here to take this criminal empire apart. Not to build another one. What the hell did you mean?!"
Adira brought out a knife and flipped it in her hand. "You just had to eavesdrop," she sighed. "Well done on being so silent. I guess we taught you too well. I know you're not ours any more, Spencer. Your little family has gotten into that head of yours."
"I don't understand," Reid shook his head. "We've done so much good in the world."
"We needed you to believe that you were doing good. A few little good jobs saving villages and rescuing people kept you in line. You're of no use to us now, Spencer."
Adira threw the knife at Reid but felt anger as Reid deflected the throwing knife. "It was a lie. You were just using me. Why me? Why not let me die that night when Armstrong made Morgan shoot me?"
"We knew what he was going to do," she said as she brought out two small swords of her own. "I was just supposed to study Armstrong but inspiration hit when I saw your body slam into that water. I knew who you were when he took you. Father agreed with my decision to save you because of the knowledge in your head about all the organisations. You had seen files we had not had access to and had privileged information on the FBI and all the other agencies. My father decided to make a soldier out of you but we knew you would never join our side if you knew the truth. It was easier to create the illusion that you were doing good."
Reid's mind raced with a thousand thoughts but they all came down to the same point. He had betrayed his family for a lie. He had killed people that were evil and now he knew it was only for another evil to take its place. "You bitch," he growled angrily. "You made me betray my family!"
"Yes," she said before twirling the swords in her hands. "Now, I'm going to make them mourn you all over again."
Reid barely had time to react as Adira rushed forward. He blocked one of her blades but grunted and barely kept himself on his feet as her second blade sliced across his back. He forced himself to get up and turned to attack Adira. He kept her busy by attacking her with his swords but knew he was no match for her. His back flared with pain and Adira took advantage. She sliced both of Reid's legs just above the knees and kicked him the face. He fell to the floor and couldn't stop the pain from the cuts to his legs. Adira kicked the swords away from him and shook her head as she stood above him.
"I couldn't well train you to be better than myself. I still expected a challenge. After this, I'm going to pay your friends a visit. They know too much. Looks like baby Spencer isn't going to grow up."
Reid raised his arm and pressed the button he kept on his palm and under his glove which activated the projectile inside his sleeve. Adira gasped as a small arrow entered her chest. Reid grabbed one of his swords as she stumbled forward and shoved it into her chest. Her wide eyes met his angry eyes as blood began to drip out of her mouth.
"They're not my friends," Reid grunted as he twisted the sword to make it a kill. "They're my family."
Morgan laid in bed and only stirred from his sleep when his cellphone buzzed on the bedside unit. He reached for it and answered the call. "Hello."
Hard panting was the sound that hit his hear. "Morgan," Reid struggled to speak.
Morgan sat upright causing Garcia to stir from her sleep. "What's wrong, Reid?" Morgan demanded as he listened to Reid's pained groans. He still felt anger towards Reid but he still knew it was still his job to save Reid.
"The docks...east side...need help. I'm bleeding."
Before Morgan could say anything to Reid down the phone, a soft thudding noise came down the line followed by a dead tone.
"What's wrong?" Garcia asked. "Where is Reid?"
"He's hurt and down by the east side of the docks. I'll use the police siren in the SUV to get there. He said he's losing blood."
"Just go," Garcia said as she jumped out of bed and pushed him towards the door. "Go and bring him back here. I'll get some medical supplies ready."
Morgan made it to the docks in record time but didn't know if he was too late. He rushed down the docks and began searching the east side. He followed a long trail of blood and turned the corner to find Reid on the ground with blood pooling under his back and under his legs. He rushed to his side and turned Reid over to find a deep cut on his back. He also saw two deep cuts to Reid's knees. He turned Reid and tapped his cheek. "Reid, it's Morgan. Wake up."
Morgan didn't get any response from Reid and knew he didn't have much time. He swept Reid into his arms and was surprised for the first time ever to find Reid was a little heavy.
Garcia frantically gathered some of the medical supplies that Adira had left behind. She grabbed towels, bandages, needle and thread and anything else she thought she would need. She rushed to the top of the stairs as the front door opened and slammed. Morgan appeared with Reid in his arms and ran up the stairs. He laid Reid out on the bed and almost ripped away Reid's jacket and t-shirt. "Garcia, I need you to tie towels around both his legs. He has some deep cuts there. I need to treat his back. Jesus, there is so much blood."
Garcia tied a towel around each of Reid's legs tightly to try to stop the bleeding. She gasped as she took in all the blood. "Morgan, he's got a wound on his shoulder."
"Call the others. I need them all here."
Garcia finished calling the team and rushed in to find Morgan cleaning the wounds. Reid didn't stir and it worried her. "What do you think happened to him?"
"I don't know but we are sure as hell going to find out when he wakes up. He needs the hospital. They could do more than me," Morgan said as brought his fingers to Reid's wrist and measured his pulse. "His pulse is a little more stable."
"We need to start closing his wounds," Garcia said as she brought some bandages into the room.
"I have no idea how much damage was actually done to him."
"Look," Garcia almost shouted before lowering her voice. "I don't know what happened to him but we can't take him to the hospital. I know that and you know that. Reid is dead as far as the world is concerned and if any of the authorities find out he is alive, I don't think it would take them long to figure out what happened and we could lose him all over again. We all have medical training to a degree and together we can save him."
"He's stable for now and I've managed to stop the bleeding. I don't want to risk doing anything on my own. The more people we have here then the better chance he has."
Garcia sat on the edge of the bed and kissed Reid's forehead. "Please be okay, baby boy."
