Pepper sighed, as she looked outside the window of the plane that they team had to their own use. Missing New York more than ever now, probably because she was without Tony or Rhodey. Which was weird because she was friends with Gene way before them, and when she went on these trips she never missed him this much. Pepper sighed, and picked at her fingernails, then shifted in her seat, then started playing with her hair, shifted in her seat again, and sighed.

"Pepper? What's wrong? You seem to fidgety and quiet." Reid said, looking up from the case file.

"Nothing..." Pepper mumbled, looking at the clouds, again.

"Something's up, come on Ginger." Morgan smiled.

"It's just...Gingers do have souls..." Pepper said, with smile, shaking her head. Morgan threw his head back and laughed.

"No, seriously." Morgan said, all of a sudden getting serious.

"I'm just feeling weird..." Pepper said, hanging her head.

"Maybe it was to early for you to come on a case." Hotch said, eyebrows knit together, his thinking face.

"No, its just kinda of a girl thing..." Pepper said, grabbing the case file that was in front of her.

"Like what?" Reid asked, cluelessly

"It's a about a boy..." Pepper said, her eyes staring at Reid from the corner of her eyes.

"Oh...umm..." Was Reid's reply.

"I don't feel comfortable talking about this you guys. Sorry." Pepper smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay, I don't feel comfortable about talking this either.." Rossi said, joining into the conversation.

"What boy?" Emily asked, leaning in a little bit, with a smile on her face.

"...I said, I didn't feel comfortable..." Pepper glared, so Emily stood up, grabbed Pepper and sat down away from the guys in their team.

"What. Boy?" Emily asked.

"Really Emily? Your worse than Gene..." Pepper said.

"Come on you can trust me, right?" Emily asked.

"Yeah...It's Tony...like Tony Stark..." Pepper said, biting her bottom lip.

"Oooo! No way. For how long?" Emily asked, leaning in.

"Since I started the job...but not like right away, after a few weeks.." Pepper said, a light blush starting on her face.

"Wow. Really?" Emily asked.

"Nooo. I was joking." Pepper said, sarcastically.

"I remember when he came into the BAU when you got kidnapped...he was freaking out!" Emily said.

Flashback (Emily's POV)

I twirled around in my chair at my desk. I sighed, I was bored. A case apparently didn't cross JJ's desk yet.

"Emily, your bored I'm guessing." Reid said, sitting at my desk. I stopped twirling and looked at him, with a look that said, 'No, of course not.' He laughed, and ran hand through his now short hair.

"Why did you cut your hair like that?" I asked. Staring at his hair. He shrugged, and bit his lip.

"Emily...I would like to tell you something now that we're alone." Reid said, obviously nervous.

"What?" I asked.

"Um...I kinda have a-"

"Pepper's been kidnapped!" I turn around to see Tony Stark, sweat on his brow, his hair even more mussled up, his cellphone in his hand, his eyes wide, and fill to brim with worry.

"What?" I asked.

"Pepper's been kidnapped! I just left her leave like that...why...why did I?" Tony said, probably the last part to himself.

"Tony. Calm down. Sit down and tell us everything." Reid said, surprisingly staying calm, me knowing that Pepper and him are close friends and co-workers.

"It started with us..."

"Really? I thought he wouldn't freak out.." Pepper said, looking out the window.

"Yeah..." Emily said, looking down to the floor of the plane.

"What's wrong?" Pepper asked.

"It's just the day you got kidnapped, Reid was gonna tell me something, but he never ended telling me because Tony came in with the news..." Emily said, looking a little disappointed.

"What did he say?" Pepper asked, a small smile on her lips.

"Uhh, he said that he would tell me now that we were alone.." Emily said.

"Looks like Reid has a crush on you.." Pepper whispered. A big smile on her lips, and her eyes sparkling.

"N-No! Why would say that?" Emily said, a blush on her cheeks.

"I mean come on! How awesome would it be if you guys started dating? Or got married? I mean, I could take care of everything, to the dress, to the ceremony, to the reception, to the bachelorette party, awesome right? It would be soo cool! One of my best friends, and my other best friend. It would be like soo awesome, hmm, I already said that...wait, isn't he a little young for you? He's 27, right? No, I think he's 29 now...right?-"

"Pepper! We're not even sure if he likes me like that..." Emily said, eyes wide.

"Do you like him like that?" Pepper asked.

"Why do you say something like that?" Emily asked.

"You never answered my question. Do you like him?" Pepper asked, looking straight into her eyes.

"Maybe." Emily said, a small blush on her face.

"Aha! Yes, I finally got something on you!" Pepper stood up and did a little victory dance, with a big smile.

"Yay..." Emily said, sarcastically. Pepper smiled happily, and walked to Emily, wrapped her arms for a nice hug.

"What was that for?" Emily questioned.

"Well, for always being there for me. You're like, a mother I never really had..." Pepper said, looking down forlornly.

"Thats really sweet, I'll always be there for you, but as a older sister not a mother, I'm not that old!" Emily smiled, putting some humor to help the awkward moment. Pepper laughed, and looked out of her window.

"I wonder what Tony's doing..."

Ohai! I know this chapter is short but its kinda like filler. To really say that Pepper has feelings for Tony. I added a few hints to the pairing of Emily and Reid, from Criminal Minds. For you that watch Criminal Minds, I don't like this pairing, but I don't hate. Plus, I think Emily's too old for Reid anyway, and that added a random twist in the story. :) Hope you enjoyed. And I'm trying to update quicker. For your reading pleasures.
