Hotch made his way over to JJ as soon as she was cleared by the paramedic.

"What were the two of you thinking," snapped Hotch.

Hotch took a deep breath.

"Risking your own life is one thing but risking someone else's. It was dumb luck that you two got out of there alive," said Hotch.

"I had no other choice than to shoot, he would've killed Emily," said JJ.

"You should've waited for backup in the first place," said Hotch.

JJ shook her head.

"Maisy would've been death before you got here," said JJ.

"Now I almost lost two agents," snapped Hotch.

By the look on Hotch's face and the tone in his voice JJ could tell that he was angry with her.

"I want you to take some time off," said Hotch.

"I don't need time off," said JJ.

"At least a week," said Hotch.

JJ shook her head.

"I'm fine," said JJ.

"It's not a request," said Hotch before walking off.

JJ was sitting alone on the plane, staring through the window.

"May I," said Emily.

JJ nodded and Emily sat down opposite of her.

"Are you here to lecture me as well, because Hotch already made his point," said JJ.

Emily shook her head.

"How are you?" said Emily.

"The doctor said that it would be sore for the next few days," said JJ.

"That's not what I meant," said Emily.

JJ took a deep breath.

"I'm fine," said JJ.

"I've seen you fine and this is not it. Come on JJ something is obviously different about you," said Emily.

JJ took a deep breath.

"I'm fine, really," said JJ.

Emily nodded before standing up. JJ knew that she didn't believe her, none of the team members probably did. She was surrounded by profilers none the less.

Back at the BAU Reid approached JJ, after most of the team members had gone home.

"Maybe we can finally talk about what's wrong," said Reid.

"I'm fine, Spence," said JJ.

Reid shook his head.

"No, you're not. Hotch suspended you and he doesn't just do that. You are obviously showing signs of PTSD, which totally makes sense. This case especially has a lot of similarities with what happened to you, which brings back a lot of memories," said Reid.

"Come with me," said JJ.

Reid and JJ went over to JJ's office.

"Stop it, stop doing that. Stop being you," said JJ.

"I can't. When I see that my friend is in pain, I want to make it stop," said Reid.

The room turned quiet.

"I don't want to tell anyone because the minute I do it becomes real and when it becomes real people get hurt and I've always run from getting hurt and I don't want to hurt," said JJ.

JJ took a deep breath and before either one of them could say another word the door opened, and Hotch entered the room. JJ quickly whipped her tears away.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier," said Hotch.

JJ gave him a smile.

"It's okay, I know you meant well," said JJ.

Hotch turned to Reid.

"Could you give us a minute," said Hotch.

Reid nodded before leaving JJ's office.

"Jennifer, you know you can talk to me right," said Hotch.

JJ took a deep breath before nodding.

"Then tell me," said Hotch.

JJ shook her head.

"I've made this mistake once and I'm not making it a second time. You are not leaving until you tell me the truth," said Hotch.

"I'm fine, really," said JJ.

Hotch shook his head.

"No, you're not. You're showing symptoms of PTSD, which is fine just not when you are out in the field. Today you did not only risk your own life, but also Prentiss' life. If you don't want to talk to me that's fine, but you're going to talk to someone. You're suspended until you're cleared by a psychiatrist," said Hotch.

The room turned quiet.

"Do you remember what I told you at the hospital," said Hotch.

JJ nodded.

"That he would never hurt me again, but there is no need for him to hurt me again, because he has already taken everything from me," said JJ.

A tear ran down JJ's face.

"I can't even look at my own husband, because every time I do, I see him," said JJ.

"That's understandable as he looked so much like Will," said Hotch.

JJ shook her head.

"It's more than that, and I can't let it go," said JJ.

JJ took a deep breath as the tears were streaming down her face.

"Aaron, he raped me," said JJ.
