One month later

Reid was sat on the jet, he was slightly nervous about leaving but he didn't want Hotch to know. He had spent the last month consulting on cases with the team via webcam and consulting on other cases for other police departments. He was incredibly nervous the first time he gave a profile. He remembered stuttering slightly as he gave his part of the profile via a webcam but Hotch agreed with his observations. Reid had been more confident since then. He had been studying the case they were flying out to with since he had sat down. He didn't want to look stupid in front of the team.

The team had been called out so quickly due to the fact the unsub had taken a child after killing the last victim.

Reid had to admit that he was missing spending time with Garcia. She had been so kind to him and he had really enjoyed working with her. He had been told that they had once worked together before when he had been shot. He didn't remember ever working with her in the office after he had been shot. He hated the gaps in his memory but the team had helped him come to terms with his memory problems.

He knew that he would, or at least he hoped he would, remember them in time. A voice suddenly brought Reid away from his thoughts.

"We are ready to discuss the case" JJ said to Reid. Reid walked over to the group and hoped that his mind did not fail him. He needed to let the team know he was okay. He needed to let them know he could be an agent again.

Two hours later

Reid yawned slightly as he walked into the police station, he felt a little weak and tired. He cursed himself for not eating anything that day. He knew that he had two choices. He could tell the team how he was feeling or he could wait till the team sat down for some food. Reid knew that wasn't going to happen for a while. Reid felt fustrated at himself. He was here with the team to catch an unsub. He shouldn't be worrying about his hunger.

Reid had pitched in different ideas with the unsub on the jet. He knew judging by the messages left carved into each victim the man was probably suffering from a mental break. Reid had not missed the looks from the team when he looked at the carvings. He felt a small phantom itch when he saw them but he managed to stay calm.

Reid smiled slightly as he remembered how confident he had become. It felt nice to be this way.

Reid set himself up and started on a geographical profile. The rest of the team started on tracking down who the unsub could be. Reid concentrated on the map in front him. The rest of the team had their jobs, this was his and he needed to get it right.

Three hours later

"I-I believe that t-the unsub lives i-n this area. The v-victims were dumped in different locations but I-I noticed something strange. T-The unsub is leaving the v-victims at specific points and t-the area is in the s-shape of a circle. I-I don't know if he is d-doing it conciously or subconciously but I-I can promise he is in this area," Reid explained to the team. He saw the team all look happy at his work. He was happy about that. He was also happy that they hadn't noticed how tired he felt.

"Good work Reid" Hotch said before the computer next to Reid beeped. Reid pressed enter and smiled when Garcia popped up on the screen.

"Hey Reid, how are you feeling?" Garcia asked before any of the team could ask her about her search.

"F-fine. D-do you have anything?" Reid asked her.

"I have one name for my angels. His name is Gregory Jackson, his mother has a history of mental illness and he has been given medication for some problems with his own mental health. He recently lost custody of his child after he was seen as unfit to care for him. He matches everything you gave me and his address has been sent to you. Go get him guys" Garcia said. The team all agreed that Gregory Jackson was the unsub. Rossi decided to stay back due to his injured arm that he has acquired the week before.

Reid started to walk with the team till Hotch turned around and stopped him.

"Reid, stay here with Rossi and wait till we get back" Hotch ordered before he left the room leaving slightly down.

Reid made his way to the men's bathroom. He just needed a splash of water to wake himself up. Reid walked slowly to the men's room. He checked around and was glad no one else was in there. Reid turned the tap and let the water run for a minute. He knew he needed to eat but he had been busy helping the team. Reid splashed some water in his face, he gasped slightly at how cold the water was but it soothed him. Reid turned the tap off and started to make his way to door when he felt everything become fuzzy. Reid fell to the floor as his knees gave way. He fell to the floor and groaned slightly at the impact. Reid didn't notice the door open as he started to pull himself up.

"Reid!" Rossi gasped before he bent down and helped Reid get back to his feet.

"I'm fine, I-I jus got a l-little dizzy" Reid told Rossi.

"Have you eaten today?" Rossi questioned as he noticed Reid's pale skin. Rossi sighed when he Reid shook his head to say no.

"Come on, we are going to get some food and you are going to eat it."

An hour and half later

Reid was eating his chinese food when the team walked in. They all looked in awe at the amount of food that had been ordered.

"Hey Rossi, why so much food?" JJ asked as she helped herself to some of the food. The rest of the team grabbed a box, they didn't care if it was slightly cold. Reid smiled as he observed everyone eating and talking. They looked like a typical family.

"Reid collapsed in the bathroom, he had forgotten to eat so I ordered in the food and he is not allowed to leave the table until he finishes at least another box" Rossi explained before eating some more noodles.

"Reid, I told you that if anything was wrong to just tell the team" Hotch sighed as he recalled telling Reid it was part of his return.

"Did you?" Reid asked confused.

"Yes I did. In future see one of the team if you are feeling tired or need something" Hotch ordered with a stern but gentle voice.

"I will" Reid smiled back.

Reid watched as the team started to relax and ease away from the stresses of the case. He was relieved to hear that the young boy had been returned to his parents. Reid realised that he was truly back at that moment. He was Dr Spencer Reid again. Reid smiled as he watched the team laugh. He had struggled for the last few months to truly believe he was back, he had wondered for the last few months if doing the good that they did was enough to overcome the evil in the world.

His team was the good force in his life. They had stayed with him even when he had wanted to die.

He knew at that moment he could get through anything now. He was Dr Spencer Reid and he was an FBI agent. He was stronger.

I hope that was okay! Thank you all again for being such brilliant readers and reviewers.

I do have a sequel in my mind but I am not sure if I should do it. Please let me know if you would like me to do it. I will say that I would leave it a few days before writing it. Let me know.

Please review and thank you again.
