Hotch does well on the stand, although he always does. Spencer assumes it's because he was a lawyer at one point. After the court lets out for the day, his supervisor comes to him and asks if he should get another ticket. Spencer smiles and declines, respectfully. He knows that JJ must have called Hotch and told him to ask. Hotch nods before he leaves the man alone. He's glad that Hotch doesn't pry. He leaves the courthouse going home to rest before he makes his way to the facility.

Amanda enters the room and sits, grabbing at her cigarettes.

"Who named you, Dr Reid?" She asks and he frowns at the normalcy of the conversation. He looks at Dr. Reynolds who nods, telling him to continue with the conversation.

"My father. My mother wanted to name me Thomas after Sir Thomas Malory."

She nods. "Interesting." She says, although she doesn't seem interested at all. "Why did your father pick the name Spencer?"

"It was his mother's maiden name. Gloria Spencer married Charles Reid who had William and Anna Reid."

"And your mother, does she have any siblings?"

"Daniel Gray. He's deceased."

Amanda nods. "How did he die?"

"He killed himself. He was a schizophrenic as well."

"How sad."

"You don't look sad."

She smirks, blowing out smoke. "I'm not. Tell me more about this Daniel."

"Why don't you tell me more about you." He challenges, not liking sharing such personal things.

She chuckles. "You've read my file. You already know everything." She says, a hint of malice in her words before her eyes move back to him, changing the subject. "Were your mother and uncle close?"

"I was only four when he died. I don't know. If I had to assume, I'd say they weren't."

"And why assume that, Dr. Reid?"

"My mother only wanted one child, where as my father, who is close to his sister, wanted many children. I assume that my mother's need to keep me from having siblings was due to her distaste of her own sibling."

"That's quite an assumption, Doctor."

"I know that." He says, a bit of attitude in his voice. She smiles, noticing it.

"Do you wish you would have had siblings?" She continues, unfazed.

"An older brother, maybe." He says.

"Why an older brother?"

"To have someone to protect me."

Amanda watches him for a moment. "To protect you?"

"I protect people all the time, Amanda. I save lives. I help people. And I love my job, but it would be nice to have had someone older, wiser...bigger to protect me as I went through high school."

"Oh yes, you were child prodigy, weren't you? I've researched you, Dr. Reid. Did the boys tease you, Dr. You had not yet gone through puberty while you were in high school. No...growth spurts." Amanda's eyes travel over his long frame, pausing at his lap.

Spencer feels his cheeks redden although he tries to fight it, knowing Amanda is just trying to get a rise out of him. "I..ahh, I don't want to talk about that."

Amanda looks up at him, seeing the blush. "Are you embarrassed by sexuality, Spencer?"

Spencer looked over at Dr. Reynolds to see her writing something. "I don't see how that's any of your business, Amanda."

"Have you even kissed a woman, Dr. Reid?" She asks, with a bit of laugh.

"Yes. Two, in fact." He says, attitude back. He knows he's playing into her game, but he can't fight it.

"Two and you're how old?"

"How is this relevant?" He asks, looking back at Dr. Reynolds, who is watching them intently.

"You want me to let Adam come out, so I have to know if you're worthy or not. Just answer my questions."

Spencer glares at her. "I'll be 28 in October."

"Who did you kiss?"

Spencer sighs, tired of the game. "Jennifer Jareau and Lila Archer."

"Lila Archer, I've heard of her. She's an actress, isn't she?"

"Yes."

"And Jareau. That sound familiar as well."

"She's on my team."

"The blond one. Yes. You seem to have a thing for blondes, Dr. Reid."

"Maybe... I don't know."

"What about men? A sexy thing like you must have had some big butch want something from you."

Spencer blinks, looking at her. The voice was different and Amanda would never be that blunt. "Excuse me?"

She closes her eyes, looking down. It takes a few moments before she raises her chin and opens her eyes.

"Ignore that. I don't want to know about those disgusting things. Homosexuality is a sin."

"And yet, one of the other alters is a homosexual?"

Amanda glares at him. "Aaron is a pervert who abuses Adam's body. I handled that situation years ago."

"What if Adam was gay as well?" He asks.

"Adam is not gay. Adam is... he doesn't think like that. He's very.. He's...He's not like that. Aaron manipulates him, makes him think like that, but he isn't."

"Aaron makes me him think he's gay?" He asks, confused, seeing her anger rising.

"Adam is not a homosexual! I will not talk about this. This meeting is over!" She says, standing up and walking towards the door.

Criminal Minds || Parts of You

Spencer lays on the bed, on the phone with JJ. She had called again after Hotch had arrived home. After arguing about him coming home, the conversation had slowed.

"Have you ever known anyone who was gay?" He asks and there's a slight pause before she answers.

"I went to college in Pittsburgh, Spence. I knew a lot of gay people. Why?"

He stares up at the ceiling. "Adam might be gay."

"Well, duh." She laughs.

"What?"

"He kept giving you puppy dog eyes the whole case you were interviewing him at the station."

Spencer frowns. "I didn't notice."

"You never notice those things, Spence." She laughs again. "I'm surprised you noticed Lilah's attempt."

"She pulled me into a pool and kissed me!" He squeaks. How could he not notice that?

"Exactly." She giggles before going silent for a few moments. "Have you ever known anyone who was gay?" Her voice more serious, almost thoughtful.

"There was a kid in high school that was gay. He was the closest thing to a friend I had because we were both picked on."

JJ doesn't say anything for a few moments. "I'm sorry you had it so rough, Spence."

He shrugs to himself "It could have been a lot worse."

"I guess you're right." She says, before the conversation slows again. She speaks again a few moments later. "So... You think he's a top or a bottom?"

Spencer furrows his brow. "What?"

"Top..or... you have no idea what I'm asking do you?"

"No, what's a top or a bottom?"

JJ chuckles. "Never mind, Spence."

"Okay," He says before changing the subject back towards his day. "I think I might have spoken to another alter today too. Aaron. He's the gay male."

"Why do you think that?"

"He asked if any 'butch' had asked for something from me. And he called me sexy."

JJ giggles. "Aaron's a definite top."

Spencer sighs. "I don't know what that means, JJ."

She giggles again. "I love it when you're clueless. It's so cute."

Spencer makes a disapproving sound and JJ only giggles more.

"Oh stop pouting. It makes me feel smart."

"Are you going to tell me or continue to tease me?" He says, a smile on his lips. He knows JJ wasn't being malicious.

"A top is someone who...is more..." She pauses for a second. "Dominant in sex."

Spencer flushes. "Oh. So... Oh. Well... Adam was very submissive in our interview. I mean, personality wise.. so wouldn't that relate to...sex?"

JJ chuckles again. "I can not believe we are having this conversation."

"You brought it up!" Spencer squeaks only causing JJ to laugh even more.

"Technically you brought it up with mentioning Adam was gay."

"Yes, but..."

"And to answer your question, personality doesn't always match."

Spencer bites at his lip. "Anyway…"

JJ goes quiet again. "Spencer, have you ever... never mind."

He frowns. "Have I ever what?"

"Nothing. Nothing. I should get to bed. Call me tomorrow, okay?"

He starts to ask her again when she hangs up.
