The planets bend between us

Chapter 15

"Hotch, man, what should I do about Remi?" Morgan asked after the beating of Emily Prentiss ceased. "She hasn't stopped texting me since she found out Emily was here and that the media found out that an FBI Agent s in the building. She put two and two together."

The Unit Chief shook his head. He didn't want to deal with this at the moment. "Don't respond. Wait until we get Emily out of this."

"She's going to kill us," Morgan murmured under his breath, knowing how protective the woman was of her profiling girlfriend. His phone starting to ring and picked it up when he saw that it was JJ calling. "Morg-"

"I heard Emily was beaten by Cyrus," JJ cried out on the phone. "Is she..."

"She's okay," Morgan told her softly. "She's alive. She handled it, JJ. She was strong. We'll get her back. Don't worry."

"Derek, I can't lose her."

He didn't know what to read into that statement. "I know. None of us can. We'll get her and pretty boy back. Soon. Talk to you later, JJ."

Emily's mind churned as she watched the building explode. She waiting for her boys to come out. She wouldn't be able to handle losing them. Spencer was the whole reason why she told him that she was the agent. She needed them to be alive.

She felt JJ behind her. She felt her the pain of her team members behind her. She knew they needed them as much as she did. She heard the blonde weep softly behind her. She wanted to comfort her. But she needed to be there the second her colleagues came out of that building. And that's when she saw them.

She hugged Spencer tightly, never wanting to let go. That day changed them. Probably forever. It hurt her body to hold him. But she knew he needed it just as much as she did.

Morgan approached her next. As she hugged him, he whispered in her ear, "JJ needs you. Go to her."

The brunette profiler didn't know what he meant by that. He turned around to find the blonde crying. She walked up to her and held her close. This was a normal embrace for them. Since JJ had told Emily that she was pregnant and that Will left her, Emily spent all of her free time helping the blonde. JJ spent most of that time convincing Emily to not kill Will.

"I'm okay," Emily told her over and over again. "It looks worse than it is."

Once the hug ended, JJ put her hand to Emily's bruise on her cheekbone. She bit her lip, holding in the tears that wanted to come out. "I'm going to take care of you, tonight. It's the least I can do after all this time with you taking care of me."

Emily nodded. She normally didn't want anyone to take care of her, let alone JJ. But she knew that the liaison needed this more than she did. "Let's go to a hotel room. I need some fresh clothes. Preferably some without blood." She meant it as a joke, but it only made JJ start crying more again. Emily sighed and put her hand on JJ's back. "Awe, that was a joke, Jen. Only a joke. I didn't mean to upset you. Come on, let's go to the others."
