When they heard the doors opened they did not expect to see the approaching figures as they came from the isolated building. Fran Morgan's heart leapt and skipped a couple of beats as she saw her son, but instinctively worried at the sight of Penelope in his arms. Elizabeth Prentiss shed a tear for the sight of her daughter, but then reality set in and she saw the cuts and abrasions all over Emily's body. Emma Jareau smiled as she saw her son in law but then sprinted as she saw her daughter. Diana Reid was nervously standing to the side, Austin gave Reid a reassuring smile and he ran to his mother and eloped her in a hug. Standing with Fran was Rossi's mother, she silently prayed to the sky as she saw her son. Sean Hotchner blew out a sigh of relief to finally see his brother and there to the side was one of Penelope's brothers.

The moment they were out in the clearing by the door, the chaos began. EMT's running in to take Penelope and JJ, both husbands unwilling to let them down. Fran stepped in and put a hand on Derek's shoulder to tell him to let the professionals do their job. He then lay Penelope's, once again unconscious, body down and stared at her, the fear caught in his throat, he could feel his heart beating, it was then another bout of tears fell. He looked at the blood, her blood, on her, on him. He heard his mom gasp as the wound was made clear so that the appropriate work could begin.

Will had put JJ down on a stretcher and was watching as the EMT's did so much so quickly, hooking her up to a heart monitor, attaching an IV, starting her on plasma, giving her oxygen. Once that was done it was then he truly realised how bad things were, it was then he cried for the unknown about his wife's health and then his son's whereabouts. It was then he felt a hand on his shoulder, he turned to see Emma Jareau holding his little boy, she silently passed him over and left him alone.

The spare EMT's rallied around the others, checking for major injuries, cleaning off all noticeable cuts. Hotch and Rossi had been cleared and were now telling the police everything they knew, from waking up to getting out. They, also, told them that three more members that were behind, but unless they had the Unsub behind this they could not risk entering the building and falling into unforeseen dangers that may lurked in the rooms.

Derek was left standing outside an ambulance as the doors closed and his wife was whisked away, the same went for Will. Neither had spoken, they were declined access and were now separated again.

'Derek, let's get you to the hospital.' Fran said calmly and soothingly. She hated to see her son so pained, she only ever saw this face when Penelope was hurt, and it was that face that made the realisations of the true world appear. 'Once you get there, you'll be nearer Penelope.' Fran had decided that now was not the time to worry over her daughter in law as much as her inside was screaming to, she needed to be Momma Morgan, the one her son could depend on while he struggled.

'He had pictures of that day mom.'

'Pictures?' She asked slightly confused.

'The day Penelope lost him; the person had pictures of us at the hospital.' The anger was now growing. 'They took pictures of that!'

'Derek you need to calm down, this is not going to help.'

'Why did they need to do this...to Pen? She's only just stopped blaming herself, what happens if this takes her back?'

'It won't?'

'How do you know?'

'Because we are prepared for it... we can all help out, we stick together remember?' Derek nodded and let his mom take him to an awaiting SUV, already inside was Will, Emma and Henry. The drive was in silence, both men stuck in thought about what to expect, their pains and cuts were nonexistent all the time they were unaware of their wives.

When they arrived at the hospital Jane and Kevin were all done, these were no significant damages that needed major medical intervention. They waited in the waiting room, for Derek had saved Kevin's life and Jane had seen Penelope try and save her in Room Two, not only that but she was the one to keep the calm when the idea of running around in a panic was so much greater to do.

An hour later they found themselves in yet another waiting room, wearing clean clothes, stitched and bandaged, almost as good as new. The men had all refused admittance to the hospital, Hotch had forced Emily to because of the severity of her arm but she had talked him out and Austin was made to stay due to the pregnancy, both were now back and forth to get updates.

Everyone had questioned just how Derek's, Emily's, JJ's, Reid's and Rossi's mom, and Hotch's and Penelope's brothers got there. They had all received phone calls telling them what had happened, when each had got to the houses, they were empty, and only a note was left. The police got involved and the search for the building was started. It had been nearly 31 hours before they found it, time may have gone exceedingly fast for the team inside, without clocks and light but for those awaiting their return it was a living nightmare.

'They are going to be okay aren't they?' Reid asked again, worry growing.

'This is Garcia and JJ... what do you think?'

'Yeah kid... you saw Pen, she tried everything to get up, she had me, Hotch and Rossi holding her down before she gave up, and that just shows how stubborn that woman is.'

'And JJ wouldn't give up back there.'

'Austin! What are you doing up?'

'I was allowed so I took it.' Austin smiled. 'The baby's fine.' She said seeing their faces. 'Regular heartbeat, no issues there, I'm fine so the baby is as well... JJ helped with that.' She smiled.

'Penelope tried to grab me when I fell, she would've stayed on the plinth if it wasn't for me.' Jane said as she looked at the floor.

'Don't blame yourself... Pen hates people being hurt, she would have done anything to prevent.'

'Yeah but now she's more hurt.' Everyone fell into the careful silence. No one was telling them anything, the only thing they knew was that 2 members of the team were in surgery and three others were missing.
