BEFORE YOU WAKE. [SPENCER REID]

Elliana Allon took a deep, almost earth-shattering breath as she looked ahead and could see the glass doors labelled 'Behavioural Analysis Unit.'

She'd been working towards joining the BAU for years, ever since she was fifteen and was able to piece together what she could from the story of her father and why he left. The BAU was a lifelong dream of hers and now, turning 25 in a few months, she had finally reached her goal and she was beyond excited. Absolutely miffed.

The air felt suffocating yet intoxicating as she moved towards those very same glass doors she'd just been staring at, suddenly aware of every feeling of her body: her trousers rubbing against her thighs, her shirt collar chafing - which she adjusted whilst walking - and even her hair sliding down her neck slightly. She knew it should've made her anxious - hell, it would've made her anxious but the pure feeling of ecstasy overtook any panic as her eyes scanned of the BAU logo on the door before pushing it open and stepping into the bullpen.

She looked around, taking in the people who were there. Already, she felt as if she'd be comfortable with the environment as her eyes scanned across the room, looking at the offices that were on slightly higher ground, deducing that those offices were for those in higher authorities of the team, before turning her eyes back to the desks in the usual central area. However, before she could, she was interrupted by a hand being held out in front of her.

Elliana looked up and tilted her head slightly as she looked at the woman in front of her before reaching out and shaking her hand too. She knew all about the members of the BAU yet it still took her a moment to take note that the woman in front of her was the Penelope Garcia: Legendary Technical Analyst.

"Oh, wow," Elliana began, laughing at her own surprise and slight fan behaviour. "You're Garcia, right?" She added, wanting to sound slightly less crazy.

Garcia nodded and smiled, Elliana taking note of how her lipstick hadn't managed to smudge at all since she had probably first applied it. "Mhm," she said, enthusiastically, "Hotch wanted me to greet you, it was either me or Reid and trust me, you did not want Reid."

"Reid..." she said, thinking to herself. "The genius one, right?" She paused when she noticed Penelope looking at her with an amused raised eyebrow and a little laugh escaped her mouth. "Sorry, I like to do my research, only slightly extensive though."

Garcia couldn't help but grin mischeviously as she put her arm around Elliana's back to guide her towards what Elliana could only assume was the briefing room. "I have a feeling you and I will get along, Allon."
