The Highlander and the Sassanach agent.

Chapter 2

Summary: Set after the third season of Outlander and the tenth season of Criminal minds. When Claire goes back to 18th century Scotland and finds Jamie he decides he wants them to go back to the 20th century to meet his daughter. But they overshoot it by about 40 years and end up in the 21st century in Virginia, why did the stones send them there? And why does Jamie feel drawn to SSA Jareau in a totally platonic way. Two people; Black Jack Randall, and Tivon Askari.

Hotch and a local sergeant from Virginia P.D sat opposite the man who claimed he was Jamie Fraser. Chained to the desk Jamie feels as helpless as that day in the Wentworth jail where Randall had nailed his hand to the desk and made him feel helpless and wish he had died by the noose.

As the sergeant continued the questioning Hotch stared at Jamie, looking for any sign that he might not be who he says he is. Instead of finding that he instead sees evidence of PTSD: Jamie stares ahead blankly, he refuses to look at his questioners, he then clenches his jaw when any move across to him is made. There was no way that he was carrying that broadsword for a cosplay; not if he knew this would be the police's response.

Unfortunately Jamie's silence is not appreciated by the sergeant who then stands and comes up behind him and touches Jamie's shoulder. Before Hotch could react Jamie elbowed the sergeant in the gut and started shouting for his wife.

Down the hall with JJ and Kate, Claire heard her husband screaming her name in the same way he did after Wentworth, he was terrified the same thing would happen to him again. Claire stood up and starting running towards her husband's voice, with JJ hot on her heels.

The doctors were trying to subdue Jamie as Claire burst in, he looked like a wild thing as they pressed his face into the desk, he was alternating between screaming for Claire and swearing at the doctors in Gaelic.

"Please, get off of him. Can't you see he's in distress?" Claire rushed to Jamie's side and started stroking his face gently and they were all amazed when Jamie's frantic actions subsided and he looked into his wife's eyes.

"Sasannach?" Jamie's voice broke. "I need you to help me. I need you to tell them I am who I say I am."

Claire took Jamie in her arms shushing him as gently as a mother. "It's alright Jamie, just answer their questions as best you can and you can leave. It's alright, I'll be here for you."

As soon as Jamie was calm enough to be without Claire Hotch ordered Kate and Reid to take her into a seperate room. As Jamie looked straight ahead Hotch pulled the sergeant out.

"It was you putting your hands on him. I think you need to sit this one out." Hotch nodded in the direction of JJ.

Before they went into the room Hotch got JJ to observe Jamie in the other room, "I want you to take the lead." JJ stared at the red headed Scottish man ahead of her and didn't acknowledge Hotch at all, she was sure she knew why. He had the haunted eyes of a torture victim.

JJ went in first and sat directly across from Jamie. Jamie looked up and into JJ's eyes, and had to stop himself from gasping: the blonde in front of him had the same look in her eyes. He spoke out of complete surprise. "You're like me…"

JJ blinked, she didn't expect him to speak about it so soon. "Yes. I was tortured in the Middle East...what happened to you?" Hotch kept silent, anything he tells JJ will be checked by the team and will determine who he is.

"I was arrested and put in Wentworth prison, I was sentenced to death and was in the noose when a man arrives with a stay of execution, Jonathan Randall, after what he did to me I wished for the noose.."Jamie takes a steadying breath and clasps his hands in front of him. "Black-Jack Randall decided he wanted to break me before I shuffled off this mortal coil, so he took me into a room and broke my hand. He then brought my wife into the room and threatened her...so I promised him what he wanted in exchange for Claire's freedom. He nailed my hand to the desk and made me kiss him before letting her go…"he averts his gaze for one moment but then rights himself and looks at JJ. "Randall tortured me, he molested me, raped me, all the while telling me it was Claire doing these things to me...I prayed for death." he looks down. "You're the first person I've told this to, besides my wife, but while I was being raped...I started to like it. I finally felt something other than pain, you know?"

Hotch looks at Jamie, "I'm sorry you had to tell us that. We will check you story and hopefully that'll prove who you are…" Hotch and JJ then left the room and Hotch allowed Claire in and ordered the officers to take off the cuffs. He knew that after that confession being allowed to touch his loved one would be all the solace the poor man needed.
