All mistakes are my own

Reid walked into JJ's house, he felt uncomfortable and more afraid than he had ever been. He could face being hated by everyone but his own team and especially by his own godson. He took a seat in the living room and pulled his sleeves over his hands. Will and JJ walked in first and Morgan left. "Where are you going?" he asked Morgan.

"He'll be back soon, he's going to look after Henry while we talk with you."

"I'll be back soon," Morgan smiled gently before leaving the room. Reid looked to JJ and Will, he saw the look in their eyes and looked back to his lap.

"Spencer, we wanted to talk to you," Will said.

"I'm so sorry, I know it's my fault," Reid shook his head, he sniffed and wiped tears from his eyes. "I know you're angry."

He felt a hand touch his hand and looked up to find JJ now kneeling in front of him, she held his hand and put her other hand under his chin. She lifted it up so he faced her. "Why on earth would you think we are angry with you?"

"Henry got kidnapped and hit because of me, this happened because of me. I didn't know Martin would escape, I swear, I don't expect you to forgive me for what happened."

"Spencer, stop this," Will sighed as he walked over and sat next to him. "What happened is not your fault, I owe you everything for what you did to save my son from Martin. You let that man hurt you and do unspeakable things to you for eight months to protect Henry and you killed Martin to make sure that Henry would stay safe for the rest of his life. I know how you distracted him and I know that has done more damage to you. We aren't angry, we just wanted to say thank you for saving our son and for bringing him home safe."

"I started a relationship with Martin, everything that has followed has been my fault."

"Spence, stop thinking that now," JJ scolded gently. "You said yourself that he made you happy for six months, you didn't know what he truly was till after that horrible night."

"He did," Reid nodded before letting out a hitched breath. "I thought he was perfect but he just turned on me. I wanted to run after that night in the car but he didn't let me. I don't know what makes sense sometimes. I hear his voice in my head and he's telling me that everything is my fault. He hit me when I did things wrong, everything I did was wrong to him."

"None of this is your fault," she said gently. "You saved Henry and you can finally get better now that monster is dead. We'll be here every step of the way and we'll help you overcome what that monster did to you. Henry wants to see you, I'm going to bring him in and you can hear it from him. He doesn't blame you for anything and we don't blame you for anything either. We will never stop thanking you for saving our little boy. Are you okay to see Henry?"

"Yes," Reid nodded. "Thank you for talking to me."

"We're here when you need us," Will smiled at him.

JJ called for Morgan, a few moments later Morgan came in with Henry in his arms. Reid looked at Henry's cheek and found his bottom lip quivering again, Morgan brought Henry over. His godson sat on his lap and stared at him.

"We'll be in the kitchen," JJ said before motioning for Morgan and Will to follow her.

Reid raised his hand up and traced his hand over Henry's swollen cheek and the brutal black bruise that covered it.

"I'm sorry, Henry."

"Not your fault," Henry assured his godfather. "He hit me because I was bad."

"No, you weren't bad, he was the bad one, Henry. He had no right to hit you. I know you got scared with him and I want to say that you were such a brave little boy."

"You're brave and I wanted to be like you, I was brave because you're brave too. Thank you for saving me, Uncle Spence."

"It's my job to protect you. I'll always protect you."

Henry hugged his godfather and leaned on his shoulder. "Did the bad man hurt you, Uncle Spence?"

"Yeah, he did," Reid answered honestly. "I'm not going to talk about that now. I just want you to stay safe, Henry, and I promise that no-one will ever hurt you again."

Morgan sat in the kitchen and let Will and JJ digest what he had just told them.

"He sold him out like a piece of meat," JJ vented angrily.

"Reid said that he woke up and there was blood all over the sheets, I should have pulled that trigger when I had the gun to Martin's head."

"Reid didn't want you to become a heartless killer, none of us could have known that Martin would escape from prison."

"Do you think Spencer will ever be the same?" Will asked them both.

"With time, I think we can get him back to a good place but you can't erase what Martin did to him."

Reid tried to stay awake as the movie played on the television, Morgan had brought him back to Garcia's and they were watching a movie. Not even Morgan's loud chewing next to him could keep him awake, he closed his eyes and felt himself slide into something soft, he registered a strong comforting arm coming around him. He fell asleep, trying to keep his mind from the worst depths of his memories but failing at the task.

A week had passed since he had woken up in a bed of blood, he had pulled it together and gone into work the day after the incident but he knew he had abused the pain medication since that day. Martin had not hurt him for a week but he had barely seen him. He jumped as Martin walked through the apartment door but returned to watching the television. He didn't speak as Martin sat next to him and put an arm around him. Reid cringed as Martin kissed his neck and pushed Martin away.

"Stay away from me."

"You're still not mad about last week are you, you solved a lot of problems. It's not like you really knew what was going on."

He got off the couch, turned and pointed his finger at Martin. "You sold me like I was nothing! You let them rape me. I counted the money, you let four of them use me so you could get a bloody car part. I hate you!" he yelled. "I loved you once but I don't love you anymore. You're a monster!"

Martin surged off the couch and grabbed Reid around the throat, he dragged him to the bedroom and threw him to the bed. "I'll show you what a monster is, Spencer. I'm going to show you what you're really worth."

Reid fought back as Martin grabbed the tie length from one of the robes. He grunted as a punch came across his face and he got rolled on his stomach, he thrashed violently as Martin tied his wrists together. "Get off me!"

Martin grabbed his air and yanked it up. "Do you want to know something, Spencer? I've scraped dog crap off my shoes that's been worth more than you. You're mine and you'll always be mine! You do love me and I'll remind of you that."

Reid fought as best he could as Martin pulled down his trousers and boxers, he felt Martin's hand below and tried to get away. He heard a belt unbuckle, Martin pressed down on him and began the assault. His scream became muffled as Martin's hand came over his mouth.

"This is what you love," Martin grunted as he moved brutally. "You're worth this, you live to service me, Spencer. We got brought together so you could make me happy. I love you, Spencer. Now just take it."

Morgan kept his arm around Reid, he had put his arm around him after he had felt Reid fall asleep against him. He heard him whimper and looked down. "Reid," he called gently but only found Reid becoming more and more distressed. He hugged him closer so Reid's head was now on his chest.

"Reid, it's Morgan. You're safe, he's dead and he can't hurt you anymore," he began to soothe as he rubbed his hand up and down Reid's arm. "Henry's safe and so are you."

He watched as Reid calmed down and relaxed against his chest, returning to a gentle slumber.

"It's okay, kid. I got you."
