Hey guys, sorry for the long wait but here you are! I wanted to show a more friendlier side to Damian and him and Reid bonding and you see a little bit of JJ and Prentiss but not that much!

I own nothing, I do not own Criminal Minds

Warnings are the same!

Thank you sooo much for your support in this and I now want to say that if it is taking me forever to update, that I'll do a Author's note just so you know I am still alive and kicking!

"I can't do this!" Reid shouted, frustration coursing through his veins, he felt, heard everything ten times worse but the rage was the strongest along with sadness it seemed.

"Yes you can, you're just not trying at all," Derek smirked before picking the arrow from the tree and twirling it around his fingers.

"Not trying!" Reid shouted, "I have been trying for three and I have gotten nowhere, you are a pathetic teacher!"

"Ohh, that hurt," Damian mocked, "Right at my teaching skills!"

"Why is this so hard?" Reid sighed, finally over his anger and more onto self-pity.

"Because unlike me, you were turned by bite, werewolves if bitten don't have natural instinct but that doesn't mean it won't come to you, sometimes it takes longer than others, sometimes it takes less," Damian explained before lifting the arrow up again, "Let's try this again."

Damian threw the arrow. Reid took a deep breath focusing on the arrow and seemingly that made everything around him pause and the arrow itself slowed down immensely, spinning in the air, slowly twirling. His eyes became focused and for a second he felt something surge through him, something that he actually hadn't felt in his entire life, not even when he had turned into a werewolf. It was like he had everything, all the knowledge, all the strength, all the wealth in the world in one moment and before he knew it, the arrow slipped into his hand as if it was nothing. Reid looked up the Damian, who had a wide smile on his face.

"Well I guess you're a prodigy in all areas," Damian commented before picking up two arrows, "Let's see if you're advance."

Two more of the arrows soared at him and easily landed in his hands. It was overwhelming, more than overwhelming, it was fantastic, like a surging pulse of pure joy was running through his whole body and for once in that day he felt good, better than good, it was as if he was on, no, he couldn't say that, that was completely different. For one it was real this time and two he wasn't trying to escape anything.

"Advance," Damian mumbled, not really to Reid but more to himself, "I wonder…"He trailed off before grabbing a single knife, "I want you to just focus, not on catching it but stopping it," Derek threw the knife at Reid.

Reid let that thought sink into his mind as the knife dived at him and he lifted his hand out of instinct and without any strain the knife stopped in midair, levitating. Reid widen his eyes at the sight still keeping focus on the object.

"What…" Reid was stunned, his voice was gone midway.

"I think we have hope," Damian mused as he went up and grabbed the knife from midair and threw it back it the mini bag.

"What was that?" Reid was baffled, the night before he had looked up all sorts of things on werewolves and their abilities but he never took them into serious consideration because no really knows about werewolves and he didn't really think a werewolf would make a site about themselves but this, this never came up on anything.

"This is extremely rare, it hasn't been six hundreds of years since something like this was even than it took years for the person to even get that good," Derek had a stream of thoughts going through his mind, "You aren't going to take that long at training anymore, not with you finally in this connection, in this mind."

"Wait, this doesn't happen very often?" Reid asked moving closer to Damian.

"No, it actually used to be just a myth, legend to our kind, but now, now we have what we need, we have our advantage towards the alpha, we can win this," Damian had hope running through his voice.

The rest of the training was a breeze now, it was now all about enhancing his skills, to become more skillful in his movements and quicker in his speed. It was now feeling like naturally instinct and for days he was becoming better, faster.

With one of the training sessions, it wasn't out in the woods but instead in a public place.

"What are we doing here?" Reid asked while ordering a coffee.

"We are learning now to control emotions, believe it, it is the hardest of all to control and to master, you need to find your let's say control point, a sorta reliable source where you can find your peace when your emotions are going everywhere," Damian explained.

"Okay, how exactly do I find my control point?" Reid asked receiving his cup of coffee and nodding a thanks to the lady.

"You have to find a true emotion that you can fall back on," Damian said, confusing Reid even more.

"I thought that emotions were the problem, wouldn't having your strongest emotion to rely on make it worse," Reid said, sipping his coffee, great thing about his heighten senses that it only made coffee ten times better than it normally would be and that was one of the highest perks of being a werewolf now.

"That's the thing, your strongest emotion is where you can balance yourself, it makes you stronger not weaker, you have anger and sadness but those aren't your strongest, your strongest is a much deeper, you'll have to search for that one," Damian explained and for Reid, it actually made sense for him. He thought for moment, anger and sadness were the more evident ones but they weren't his strongest ones.

"What's yours?" Reid asked, it had gotten to the point where they weren't just teacher and student, it was getting to the point where they had actually become friends.

"Anger," Which Reid understood, with Damian's past Reid couldn't blame him for all of the anger within him. That was when JJ and Prentiss had decided to walk in the coffee shop, Reid knew he shouldn't have picked when of their local ones.

"Reid!" Their faces lifted when they saw him but then their faces landed on Damian, "What are you doing here?" They asked with less politeness.

"He's a friend," Reid replied while Damian but on a wide smile towards the girls, as if to rub it in or show off.

"Well, I think I should be going than, see you tomorrow Reid," Damian smiled and walked out of the coffee shop.

Prentiss and JJ looked at each other before JJ sat down and Prentiss pulled in a chair.

"Reid, what is he doing here?" JJ asked, not trying to sound too harsh in in her words but seemingly failing as such.

"He's a friend, as I had already told you," Reid argued, Damian was teaching him everything he needed to know, needed to survive and he saved his life so he wasn't going to let people talk badly about him.

"Reid, he was a suspect in a serial murder case, he still is a possibility for murders and we try not to judge but the evidence still suggest that he is severely damaged mentally, he is still a risk," Prentiss argued back, she had her best intentions, she wanted to protect Reid but Reid could protect himself now, he wasn't the kid of the group anymore, he was much more than that now, he was stronger faster, better, he was even discovering that his brain was over working and was picking up things faster than ever before. He was better than he had ever been before in his life, he wasn't going to be labelled as the kid of the group anymore.

"You know what, he isn't severely damaged, he is in fact the person who had stuck around here, who had come here to help me through this, he is the reason I am still alive, not you or anyone else, I am better than I have ever been before, so you don't get to say those things, you don't get to pass judgment on people you don't know, just don't," Reid stormed out of the coffee shop, his breathing was intense, his heart was pounding in his chest and all he could think about was how angry he was, how hurt and betrayed and how the world seemed to fall. Then he thought about Damian, how he was defending him, how he had stood up for him, how he knew he still had that friendship with him.

"I think we've found our control point," Reid turned around to find Damian standing beside him.

"What is it?" Reid asked, he felt normally again, his heart wasn't trying to pound its way out of his chest.

"It's the people you care about, your affection towards them," It was obvious now, Damian had his wide smile back on, "I'm honored."

"Shut up," Reid smirked back.

"I think we've had enough emotions for one day, don't forget the full moon's on Sunday, so I'll see you on Saturday but you can do whatever you want until then, so see you later!" Damian walked away.

Reid thought to himself, he had four days of freedom but now he found himself confused on what he'll do now, he had actually started to enjoy the training. It was surreal, he actually enjoyed something that required physical activities in it. He had changed a lot, he was different now, and he knew he could never change that fact about himself, that he never would be the old Reid. He could never explain this to his team, to his family and that was going to be the hardest thing he would have to do whenever he faced them but for once he felt good about himself. He wasn't shy, he wasn't that social awkward person that would never go out to clubs or parties, he wanted to go out and explore the world, to meet everybody and see the sites that he had always wanted to see. This was his highest perk of being a werewolf so far.
