Reviews would be greatly appreciated. I am more inspired to write when I get reviews. Also, I want to make sure that the story line is interesting and not boring!

Kay woke up to knocking on her hotel room door. She groaned and walked towards is, tripping over things in the dark.

"Who is it?" She asked.

"It's me," Hotch said. She undid the latch and unlocked the door, opening it slowly while leaning on it.

"What?" She asked, hair a mess.

"It's 6 AM and there's been another murder. Be ready to leave in 10 minutes," Hotch said seriously. Kay groaned and as she was about to turn Hotch stated "I'd fix my hair if I were you." Kay rolled her eyes and Hotch let out a light laugh before walking off.

'How the hell can I get ready in 10 minutes looking like this?' Kay thought to herself as she looked in the mirror. She felt compelled to ensure she looked her best, she wanted to make a good impression in front of her new team, especially Spencer. As she showered at lightening speeds, she thought about how insane his intelligence was.

Surprising herself, she was able to get ready in exactly 10 minutes, just with wet hair. She walked out of her room, attempting to braid her long hair as she walked towards the parking lot.

"Good morning," Spencer said to her, walking with his hands in his pockets.

"Good morning," she turned to Spencer and smiled. She couldn't help but check him out. He was wearing a button up shirt, the sleeves rolled up, with a vest and dark khakis, his hair tousled just right. His face had the faintest hint of being unshaven. "I seriously need coffee. We were up so late looking at suspects," she said and finished the braid in her hair.

"JJ got coffee for us," Spencer said, avoiding her gaze out of sheer awkwardness. JJ was standing outside with the rest, holding a carrying case of coffee for the team.

"You are my hero," Kay said, smiling at JJ and taking a cup of coffee.

"This coffee is my hero," JJ said in response, smiling back. She handed Spencer a cup of coffee as well.

"JJ, you Prentiss, Morgan and Rossi go to the crime scene. Look for any changes in the MO. JJ, local PD said that the press was already starting to arrive. Keep them in the dark. Reid and Kay, come with me to the victim's home. His wife is there waiting for us. We need to find any link between the victims," Hotch said and everyone split up into two SUVs and took off to get work done.

It was so incredibly late by the time they caught the killer. Took three days, but they got it done and even prevented one unfaithful husband from being killed. Over the past few days, Kay had become more and more intrigued by Reid, and Hotch was starting to take notice of their interactions. He knew that Kay was feeling lonely and vulnerable, so he didn't say anything to her just yet. Plus, he knew that if Reid was feeling just as interested in Kay as she was in him, that he wouldn't have the nerve to do anything about it. He had feelings for JJ for years and lost his chance once she met Will.

The team was strewn throughout the plane, almost everyone sleeping. Some in upright positions, some laying on the two open stretches. Hotch was in the corner of the plane, by himself, reviewing some case files. He glanced up to see Kay sit down across from Reid at the table.

Kay took a sip of her coffee and began to speak to Reid, who was engrossed in a game on solo chess. "Are you playing yourself?" she asked, curious.

"Yes, I haven't found anyone who could beat me since agent Giddeon. He was an old profiler that went AWOL on us," he stated, never moving his eyes from the board.

"Mate in three for white," Kay stated matter of factly. Reid looked up at her shocked, then looked back down at the board. After a few seconds, a flash of realization appeared on his face.

"Nice work. Do you play much?" Reid said, interest in Kay growing.

"I used to play all the time, haven't in a while," she said, taking another sip of coffee. Reid rearranged the board and gestured for Kay to make the first move. She smiled and they began to play a game of chess. Reid was pleasantly surpised by her skill. She even rivaled Giddeon's skill. Reid smiled when he thought he had her one move from mate.

"Mate," she said as she set the queen down, giving his king no place to move. Reid's smile drained from his face for a second, but then came back.

"Impressive."

"Thanks," she smiled and got up. "Want some coffee? I'm getting more."

"Sure, thanks," he replied as she walked off. He felt watched and looked up, catching Hotch's gaze. His smile changed into a closed-mouth nervous smile and he looked down, putting away the chess board. He felt as though Hotch was reading his mind, and that made him nervous. It had been so long since Reid had felt anything like this for someone. He lost everything he had ever felt for JJ when she lied to him about Prentiss, and the thing with Lilia never amounted to more than a few phone calls. His thoughts were interrupted by Kay sitting back down, giving him a cup of coffee.

"So, Dr. Reid, what gave you that title? A Ph D or something?" She quizzed him, leaning back in her seat.

"Mathematics, chemistry, and engineering," he took a sip of his coffee, then continued. "I also have degrees in psychology, sociology, and philosophy."

"Wow, you really are a genius, huh?" She said, a look of sheer surpise on her face.

"Um, yes. I am. I have an IQ of 187," he stated, playing with his coffee cup.

"Are my questions making you uncomfortable?" Kay asked, clearly seeing his nervous behavior.

"Yes and no. I am socially awkward by nature, like I said before. It just takes me time to get used to someone and feel comfortable."

"Well if there is anything I can do to make it easier for you, let me know," she said, smiling at him. Reid started to open his mouth, but stopped when Hotch appeared at the table.

"Kay, you might want to sleep, you're not used to this work schedule yet. You can take my spot back there. It'll be more comfortable than this seat," Hotch stated, urging his sister to go sleep.

"Okay, thanks Aaron. Night Spencer," she said as she got up.

"Night." Reid felt nervous as Hotchner sat down in front of him. Hotch didn't look up from the case files until he knew Kay was out of hearing range.

"I am very protective of my sister," he stated and looked up at Reid.

"Understood," Reid said, knowing full well that Hotch profiled Reid's actions and deduced attraction. Reid picked up a book and began reading, anything to distract himself from Hotch's intimidating sentence.
