As Delilah fires the last 2 shots , the marksman nods towards her.

"Wow you scored a 93. Congratulations." he said with a wide smile.

"Thank you. So can I use it on my first case back? Or do I have to wait?" Delilah curiously asks.

"As long as your unit chief is okay with it, yeah." he replies

Today was Delilah's first day back after being shot.

It had been a week since her kiss with Spencer.

An awkwardness silently reigned over them both whenever Spencer arrived back from a case. The fear of falling for one another defeating their feelings. Yet Delilah still stayed at Spencer's apartment ; the fear of her father growing intensely everyday.

Walking back to the apartment, she squeals with excitement. Today is the day that she can officially become an agent and can officially go into the field .

As she swings the door open, she sees a sleep deprived Spencer, reading a book.

With a light smile, he looks up towards Delilah "So? Did you pass?" he asks.

Tricking him, she looks downwards "No..."

"I passed with a 93!" she screams slightly, her eyes gleaming into his.

Spencer runs up to her, lifting her up while exclaiming "Congratulations."

The awkwardness setting in after as he releases her.

Clearing her throat, Delilah fixes Spencer's tie avoiding his hazel eyes.

Disrupting the silence, a buzzing sound vibrates from Spencer's pocket.

"We have a case." he explains rushing around the apartment. "You ready?"

"Yeah i'm ready. Lets go."

Arriving at the BAU, everyone greets Delilah happily.

"I'm so glad you're back. I have missed you so so so much." Garcia says cheerfully.

"Trust me Garcia, I have missed you too." she replies chuckling as she pulls Garcia in for a tight hug.

"Hey what about us?" Derek asks, offended.

"Of course. I've missed all of you." she replies, hugging all the members of the team.

Except Hotch who is sitting in his office as usual.

Approaching his office, Hotch gives Delilah a signal to enter.

"I hope you are well and feeling better now. You have been cleared to work but I think you should still visit your therapist for a while due to the seriousness of your injury.However, that is not what I want to speak to you about.Due to your hard work and the amount of times you have been a make or break in this case, I have decided and the director agrees, that if you want to, you can now become an agent. You have your gun qualification now so it would make the most sense." he says seriously.

"Sir. I would love to become an agent. This team means alot to me and I can't wait to be a part of it." Delilah replies gladly.

"Okay well officially welcome to the team Agent Gray.Congratulations.Here is your gun. Now let's get to the case" Hotch says with a slight smile.

"You're going to New York. Today's unsub is just...evil. 5 children were found in a school pinned up by their shoulders on lockers for other students to find."
