Two weeks later, Emily was back at work. Her injuries were healed, and her rape kit had shown no signs of STD's or pregnancy. Bureau psychiatrist had cleared her, stating that 'whoever was helping her get through her trauma was doing an excellent job.'

Emily couldn't pinpoint one person. They were all so wonderful. Looking around the bullpen, she took her time studying each one. Reid was studying a thick textbook on his desk. Emily had seen it in the apartment earlier, but she couldn't recall the title. Spence had never treated her like a victim. When she wanted to be treated like Old Emily, he was where she turned. When they watched the news before bed, he never winced at the mention of a rape. He updated her on their cases during her leave, not shying away from the details. D

She looked to Dave's office. His door was cracked, and she could see him through the open sliver. He was talking on the phone, smiling occasionally. His smile was infectious, and she found herself grinning as she watched him. He had taken her out to an opera she loved shortly after her attack. Last week he had taken off from work for a day trip to NYC. Rossi had always been her closest friend on the team. He had a sense for her emotional state. He knew when she needed time away better than she did, usually. He was more like a father than her dad had ever been.

Her thoughts drifted to Garcia, no doubt sitting in her office probably flirting relentlessly with poor Derek on the phone. Penelope called constantly the first week, sending her gifts via personal messenger. She was the only team member wasn't present for her full disclosure confession. She had access to the records, and Emily knew she had taken advantage of that and briefed herself fully.

Derek came home everyday reminding Emily to call the blonde tech. He had been the subject of most of her interrogations about the situation. Derek respected Emily more than anyone else. He would never betray her by repeating anything she confided in him, whether as her boyfriend or her partner. He was by far the most protective, never allowing her to go out alone, and calling every hour while they were away to check in on her. She loved the attention. Her boyfriends had very different ways of showing their love and support, which she was immensely thankful for.

Refocusing on the loft offices, Emily stared at Hotch's open door. Her relationship with their boss had changed dramatically over the last few weeks. He went from her supervisor to her confidant. He had always been supportive of her, but as a mentor. Now he was there for her as a friend. He understood the pain of feeling helpless, much like Reid did. For that reason, he never pushed her. They had spent many nights sitting on his couch, drinking beers. He confided in her about his long existent attraction to Dave, his fears about raising Jack alone, and the constant pressure of his job. He needed her, and that made her stronger.

JJ was a stark contrast to the others. She forced Emily to confront her fears, her demons. She made her tell her every single excruciating detail. She forced her off the couch once her wounds had started to heal, taking her to the gym for a kickboxing session. Four days a week, she was in her apartment, forcing her outside for a run. JJ was the only one of them not scared she would break. That made her crucial in Emily's recovery. Emily made a mental note to tell all of them exactly how much they meant to her.

Emily Prentiss was a lucky, lucky girl and she knew it.
