Derek could only, for a short extent, understand Hotch's actions the day Haley died, now, with himself being in a similar predicament he realised entirely why the act of revenge was boiling in his blood. Seeing Penelope so hurt and weak from the acts of what Rodney had put her through only enraged him and after another day of watching her live with the pain he'd decided to wait for the first dose of pain meds for the day to be administered before he got up and left the hospital.

He had a sister that was bruised from head to toe, covered in cuts and had been sexually assaulted by both Rodney and his brother, that thought alone was killing him. His sister was brave and had fought back but all because Penelope had given her the hope that she could do that. He had a woman that he'd loved beyond anyone else who had subjected herself to Rodney and had survived, unlike so many others, but he knew there was a reason she was spared rather than killed. Penelope had been left to recover from damage to her ribs, a stab wound to her thigh, internal damage, bruises, cuts and scrapes and a large R carved into her chest right over her heart.

Derek had watched Rodney swagger out of the house and go back in again, he knew it was only him and his brother in, so Derek got up and went up to the house, he had not gun like before, he didn't need it, he was confident with that fact. He didn't knock; he just kicked the door and watched it fly open showing him a living room that still had the same decor from the days when he was friends with the family.

Stanley Cooper, the younger brother, jumped up with wide eyes. "Rodney!" He yelled and backed up towards the hallway. "Rodney quick!"

"What the fuck Stan... it's early." Rodney said as he came through the house to the living room and he laughed as he saw Derek. "Ah, well if it isn't the big FBI hot shot finally showing up." He said with sarcasm and put his arm around his brother's shoulder. "You really need to not be scared of this man Stan, he's a pussy really."

Derek breathed heavily as he stood and watched the man that was at the pinpoint of all the chaos in his world. "You do realised you'd never win this right." Derek asked him and smirked. "I mean, why'd you let her go?"

"I thought I'd prefer to see you suffer to see her hurt than dead."

"You could've done worse."

"Well I guess I could've but count it as the beginning. I could easily get her again because she loves you so much Morgan, she'd stand in front of any bullet I'd want to fire into your chest." Some released in Derek as he listened. "Maybe next time I'd even rape her, not just grope her, she's got the best hips you could hold as you rode her but you'd know that wouldn't? I'd fuck her so hard she'd feel me long after I was done and man I'd brand her more than I did. Really add the Rodney exclusive. Claim that bitch once and for all."

Rodney watched as Derek flipped into a rage, usually Derek Morgan walked away from it all but this time he was done being the higher being and walking away, he wanted to see blood and he charged and took out Rodney, Stan standing in shock, completely frozen. "Yeah that's it Morgan." Rodney told him and Derek hit him as he sat on him, he could for a moment see Hotch beating the crap out of Foyet. He just didn't want to stop now he'd started. He saw white hot anger, the strongest he'd ever felt and he didn't want it to end until he was done but midst hit Stan tackled Derek and put up a fight. All Derek did was shove him hard and he flew off him and landed on the coffee table, he was no way a match for Derek's strength. Getting up to follow the pair as they ran, he felt his phone ring. If it was his mom, or family again he'd ignore and as he got his phone he put his finger to the disconnect button but he had to look again. "Baby Girl" was flashing up on the screen in front of him and he looked around the place he was standing, he answered it as he heard noises in the direction Rodney and Stanley had ran.

"Hey baby girl, why are you calling me?"

"To tell you to get the hell out of the Cooper's house." He heard her tell him and he sighed, she was in pain still and he could tell. It was the reason that had gotten him there. "Derek, remember you told me I was selfish and selfless the other day?" She asked him and he was silent. "I know you're doing this for your family but, handsome, please don't. They're not worth it. Don't be selfish and selfless like this." Penelope told him gently. "Please Derek; I need you to come back. Whatever you do to them to make up for what they did to us isn't going to make anything better. It's not going to stop them."

"I'm sorry P." Derek said and ran a hand over his head as he saw shadows moving down the hall.

"Leave that house hot stuff." Penelope pleaded with him the moment that Rodney appeared with a baseball bat in his hands. "Get out of there before it's too late."

"I'm going." He said and he knew what she was doing, she was making him be the bigger man and he was going to listen. He turned and went to the door.

"Na uh Morgan, you don't get to turn up and not let me get my own." Rodney said as Derek made it to the door and saw someone guarding it. "You'd think I'd just fucking run like some fucking wus." He mocked Derek as he stood in the door way. "I'm not you Morgan."

"Baby girl, call Chris for me. I love you." He said and shut the phone and slid it into his pocket. "I'd say I've proved on more counts than you Rodney who's the coward out of us." He then threw a punch and went the follower, punching him until he was barely conscious, standing up he saw more gathering and he walked onto the middle of the front yard. "You have gotta be kidding me." He muttered and pulled off his jacket, if this was how it was going to be this was how he was going to fight. "You know he's gonna screw you over." Derek yelled as they all closed in.

"Get him then!" Rodney said as he stood and looked.

"He's going to ruin your life and leave you high and dry." He told them and they all stilled. "He did it to me, so I did it to him and look where it got ended. Ended with you getting involved. He got you to kidnap a woman and another one only to hurt them. What if that was your family? How would you like to look at them so hurt?" He looked at each of them and saw one emotion: regret. "You'd do anything to protect them but you'd easily hurt another and he's made you like that."

"Morgan give up, it's over." Rodney spoke from the sidelines impatiently.

"I don't think it is." Derek told him as he felt his phone go off again in his pocket. "I proved him wrong. I left the gang that Rodney's corrupted and I've bettered my life and you can too, do not let him rule you. Rule yourself."

"He said he'd hurt my family." One of the boys spoke up timidly.

"And mine." Agreed another.

"He said he'd kill us if we ever left." He heard a several one shout out.

Derek laughed. "And if you all left? He'd take you all on would he?" He asked them as Chris and Gordinski turn up, Rodney seeing it ran and Derek followed him in a high speed sprint, as did all the boys that had now made a decision to change their lives. Derek ran fast, catching them up and then launched onto Rodney, taking him out and holding him as though he was yet another Unsub. "You're mine now Rodney." Derek said with almost delight oozing from his tone. "This is for Des and Penelope."

"Derek get off him and get to the hospital now." Gordinski said as he and the gang members saw Derek capturing Rodney. Derek stood up and through Rodney at 2 officers.

"We had so many times to make amends. It's people like Penelope that you'll get the benefit of the doubt again." He told them lividly and then went back through the house and got into his own SUV and drove to the hospital, he didn't miss Chris following him closely.

Walking in he saw the distress he'd visible caused and he saw Penelope lying with a hand on her head, overly stressing about everything. "Relax sweetness, you don't need the stress." Penelope whipped her head round to look at him and finally the dam's he'd waited to burst, well and truly burst. "Hey I'm sorry baby girl, don't cry." He said as sat down, ignoring everyone around her. "I didn't do anything to him."

"Yeah, really?" She asked him and pulled on his shirt. "That's why there's blood on you."

"That was before you rang me and talked some sense into my logic." He told her with a genuine tone to his voice. "I was getting out of there but Rodney's boys got there, nothing happened apart from the boys all turning against him, Gordinksi turning up, me getting Rodney and Rodney and his brother getting arrested."

"Never do that again. We've been panicking. I've been panicking. I can't lose you either." She hiccupped at him and clung onto him in a hug. "Revenge isn't the way to do things Handsome. Plus there's more than one way to skin a cat."

Derek clung back onto his baby girl and couldn't agree with her more, she was completely right and making those ties and amending things between them would sting a hell of a lot more than getting even.
