Thanks for the reviews!

They all rushed into the hospital, fear written in their face. Hotch had managed to get a hold of JJ, Emily, and Rossi.

"Agent Hotchner," said Hotch, showing his badge. "We're here to see about Special Agent Dr. Reid?"

"You're here for Dr. Reid?" A famle voice appeared and they turned. The female doctor smiled sadly and shook their hands.

"I'm sure you were expecting a male doctor to deal with something so private," she added.

"The thought crossed our minds," said Morgan.

"We had a male doctor orginally but..."She pursed her lips.

"But what?" JJ asked fearfully.

"Dr. Reid is terrified of being handled by men." She stared at them. "I am hoping you three will be able to get through to him..."

"So he's alert?" Morgan asked.

"He just had surgery. He's going to go in for another one shortly. But yes, he is alert. We are trying to calm him down the best we can but he only responds well to a female touch now."

"Can't say I blame him," Rossi said softly. "With what happened to him the last time a bunch of men handled him.

"Had they caught the bastards?" Morgan asked, knuckles tightening. She shook her head.

"Good...that leaves it up to me..." Anger flashed in his eyes.

"Morgan..."Garcia murmured but Hotch shook his head at her. Morgan needed to feel in control about something right now, they all did.

"We'd like to see him," Hotch said quietly and the doctor nodded.

"Be prepared on what you might find," she said quietly. They walked on the hallway, their shoes squeeking with the wetness of the rain, but they didn't care. Their focus was on Dr. Reid.

They froze in front of the door way. There laid their Reid, hooked to machines. His face was badly bruised and scratched. His chest had been bandaged. They could tell where he was stabbed. It made them all sick to see him so frail, so vulnerable. Garcia started crying. This was all her fault. If she hadn't insisted on setting up this stupid stupid date...

JJ hugged her tigthly as Morgan inched his way closer and closer to his best friend, to his little brother.

Reid eyelids fluttered as he sat down next to the kid and tenderly touched him on the arm. They stood there, their bodies bracing for a reaction. Positive or negative.

Reid sensed a familar presence. A familiar male presence. Panic rose from deep within, screaming to be released. A male han was touching him. He had to get away...This was happening again...no, no no!

Morgan jerked back quickly when Reid started to cry, and twist his way out of Morgan's light grasp.

Reid started blubbering. They couldn't make out what he was saying but they stood there in shock. They had been warned but it was different seeing it. JJ rushed up towards Reid as Morgan backed off, looking horrified at himself. He stared at his hands. Was Reid really terrified of his hands?

"Shhh...Spence...it's all right, Spencer," JJ was whispering as he backed up with his co workers.

"It's okay Derek," Emily whispered to him. "It's not your fault."

That wouldn't stop the shaking of his hands though. The hatred towards himself dripping through his body. How could he have been so stupid?

"It's okay Spence," JJ kept repeating, running her hands through his hair, soothing it like a mother would. She kissed his forehead, and ignored his knee jerk reaction of fighting the hands that touched him.

A women's voice was heard now...his tense body began to relax, and bath in the warmth of that voice. The safety.

Yes, her voice was better.

He recoginzed her voice, but wasn't sure why.

He slowly began to relax and listen to the calming voice. The voice reminded him of his mother and her calming touch.

He stopped fighting.

They watched as JJ managed to calm Reid.

"That was amazing," the doctor said softly. She glanced at JJ. "Would you mind being there for Reid? To calm him down?"

JJ was shaking but nodded.

"If Morgan can stay. He won't touch Reid anymore," she added quickly. "But he'll be there to help calm me down."

Morgan smiled softly, knowing what JJ was doing and was thankful. The doctor nodded thoughtfully.

"Very well."

Morgan couldn't stop glancing at Garcia, though. He felt awful for her. She was feeling obvious guilt over what was happening. He took Emily by the side.

"Garcia's going to need someone to watch her," he said quietly. "She's feeling guilty over what is happening..."

"Of course," Emily said quietly and hugged him before leaving. Hotch squeezed Morgan's shoulder.

"Are you going to be all right?"

Morgan swallowed.

"I think you should be asking Reid that...yes I'll be fine," he added quickly.

"Remember," said Rossi softly. "Don't take it personally, his reaction to you. He's not thinking clearly."

"I know that." He did know that but hearing it did help. A lot.

Emily led the crying Garcia outside as JJ and Morgan sat next to Redi's bed.

"Thanks," Morgan said to her and she nodded.

"I probably will need someone to calm me down," JJ added with a smile. As if on que Reid's eyes shot open from a nightmare, those hands were all around him again, and started to sob, and try to escape.

Morgan watched, feeling helpless, as JJ calmed Reid down by singing a gentle lullaby.

But then a soothing thought entered his head.

He wasn't helpless. He could find the monsters that did this to Reid and make them pay...for good...
