As they arrived in the hospital, against the arranged protests of Reid, Delilah, Ethan, Lucas and Mason, it was procedure and they grumbled every time those words were repeated to them. Hotch and Emily were given a quick check over before being released into the waiting room, where Morgan, JJ, Garcia and Rossi were waiting.

"Have you guys heard anything about Reid and the others?" JJ immediately asked them, not waiting a second more without this information.

"Just bits and pieces but overall it was good, nothing is majorly wrong with any of them," Emily reassured not only JJ but all of the anxious people within that waiting room.

"Majorly wrong, those kids have been there for years, how could anyone be alright after that?" JJ half mumbled to herself mostly, thinking about what those kids must have gone through while there.

"What did you get on the triplets, Garcia?" Rossi turned to Garcia, who was unusually silent and didn't respond to Rossi, which caused everyone to have a worried look on their faces, "Garcia?" Rossi repeated and her head snapped up looking a little stunned.

"What? Oh yes um they were originally from Los Angeles, very happy life before they went missing when they were 13," Garcia wasn't her usual self, no one would be their usual self under these circumstances but this wasn't Garcia, they have Reid, they said four kids and made that son of a bitch pay for what he had done, Garcia wouldn't normally be like this.

"Baby Girl, are you okay?" Morgan asked her, waling over to her so that they were face to face.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Garcia told a very unconvinced Morgan, "Morgan, I'm fine, I just need to know my Junior G-Man's okay," Garcia gave him a smile and Morgan nodded but he wasn't going to let this slide.

"Morgan, can I talk to you in private?" Hotch took this opportunity to get Morgan alone and find out everything that was going on because he knew within the time since Reid's attack in the forest had something had happen between Morgan and Reid and everything that happened out there and what he had just seen with his own two eyes, he knew something wasn't right, it was far from right, this was verging on insanity and he was going to get answers.

Morgan eyed Hotch for a second, worry coursing through his body as he had a pretty good idea of what Hotch wanted to talk about, "Yeah sure," Morgan nodded and Hotch led him out of earshot from the others.

"Tell me everything you know," Hotch demanded, feeling angry that he was in the dark about this whole situation, still trying not to think about what he had seen in that warehouse.

Morgan looked at Hotch, hoping he wasn't giving away anything away but that was incredibly hard facing an experienced profiler, "Nothing, I know as much as you do," Morgan couldn't believe it, he had lied to his superior officer, he felt wrong, he felt completely guilty but he kept telling himself that it was for Reid.

"Morgan, don't lie to me," Hotch warned him with a deadly voice, a voice even Morgan thought he would never hear and it truly frightened him, "Me and Prentiss saw what Reid did in that warehouse and I think you know exactly what I am talking about."

Morgan sighed, torn between the fact that this could change everything, maybe even put Reid even in more danger, which was the last thing he would ever what to do and reality and the reality was Hotch and Emily both know what they saw and they needed the full answer and now so did the rest of the team, "I think this is something Reid needs to tell you and besides if I told you I would be betraying Reid's trust and I can't do that, not now, not ever."

Hotch nodded to Morgan, understanding his situation and crisis. Reid would have to be the one explaining everything now.

As they waited for news, sitting anxiously and without even talking, thoughts of the too fresh memories of Reid in trouble and in pain were swirling through their minds, not stopping. A female doctor then walked in, behind her were Reid, Delilah, Ethan, Lucas and Mason, all playfully smiling and talking to each other. All of the team looked at this interaction, they had never seen Reid act this way towards other people, only to them. Of course they knew it was from the time they had all together, they had formed bonds to survive the experience but it was still weird for them to see Reid do this.

"They're free to go, nothing to worry about," The doctor smiled, her tag read Dr. Leeway, she gave Reid and the others a huge smile before turning back to the rest of them.

"What? How? What about the bruises and the cuts on Reid?" Rossi asked with confusion in his voice as he stared at Reid, looking over him as if to see the wounds and make sure they were there, but to his surprise, not a mark, not a trace was to be seen. All of their eyes, spare Morgan's, were on Reid, who gave them a weak smile in response.

"I'm sorry but trust me he's fine, nothing is wrong with him, he's fine along with the rest of them," Dr. Leeway said before walking off and leaving them alone.

"Reid?" Garcia said, seeing whether he was alright or not.

"I'm fine, Garcia really, nothing's wrong with me," Reid reassured her, Garcia walked right up to him and slapped him across the face, making the team wide eyed and the other almost in a shocked but laughing state, "Ow," Reid said, looking at Garcia.

"Don't do that again," Garcia warned him with a serious face but then lightening up and smiling at him and pulling him into a big hug, "I'm so glad you're okay."

"Yeah, so am I," Reid said to her, he looked at the rest of the team, all their faces, he couldn't express how happy he was, and he was finally back to normal, well partially. No alpha to worry about, no reoccurring nightmares to worry about, his fears were gone. Well not all of them, those last words were haunting him.

"You're… n-no better than m-me," Sean laughed that was when Reid growled and grabbed a stray wire and wrapped it around Sean's neck and pulled with his strength.

Was he no better than the alpha? He killed Sean out of pure hatred and he felt glad that he did and that was what was making him rethink everything he was doing, everything he had done in his years of service with the FBI. It was torturing him those last words from Sean's lips and he didn't know how to stop it.

"Well, this is very emotional but I think we should get out of here, I don't like hospitals," Lucas said with a fake smile on his face.

"Well we haven't contacted your parents yet-" Hotch started before Reid interrupted him.

"They'll be staying with me," Reid said instinctively and as soon as he said it he wondered why he had.

"Yeah, we'll stay with Reid," Ethan, Mason and Lucas said at the same time, which made Garcia almost giggle.

"Yeah," Delilah said, smiling up at Reid, who smiled back at her.

"We still need to let them know," Rossi told them.

"Yeah but we're all in our twenties now, own decisions and such," Ethan said, making the rest of them nod in agreement.

"Okay but Reid will it be okay, you don't have a large place," JJ asked, trying to see if this was something Reid actually wanted.

"I'll move," Reid shrugged off, making the team give a little look of uneasiness before Morgan jumped in, "Hey, I'll help you move," Reid smiled at him, "Thanks Morgan."

"No worries man," Morgan said, giving his team a once over, seeing if any of them were concerned which they all were.

"Okay but Reid when you've moved, I want you at work, we have to talk," Hotch told him, Reid nodded, having a sinking feeling about what it was about. Rossi seeing the tension jumped in.

"Hey, I'll help you move too, the more the merry, I hear they say," Rossi said, getting Emily and JJ to nod.

"Yeah, I'll help too," Emily said too, "And me, Will has time off," JJ agreed, leaving Hotch still in his same stance.

"We'll all help," Hotch finally agreed, giving the faintest of smiles, earning some laughs from the team.
