Elizabeth's POV

I was leaving my Sociology class on my way to Computer programming when my phone started ringing.

"Hello, the is Elizabeth Reid speaking." I answered kindly not checking the caller ID

"Hey Lizzie its you're dad. Listen I know I've kinda left you hanging for the last week but I've been really busy in the office-"

"I'm late for my next class can we speed this up and I've told you I don't like that nickname." I sighed placing the phone between my ear and my shoulder as I walked putting my text book in my bag.

"I'm late for a meeting so I'm just going to say it, you have a brother and I've been meaning to tell you about him but works has been crazy and your mother and I had wanted to tell you together but that can't happen now obviously.....anyway he's older than you by about 7 years."

"What? How can you just throw it out there like that? Oh sorry I never got around to telling you about your brother?!-"

"Right, his name's Spencer. He shouldn't be to hard to find. I gotta go."

"Wait- Hello? Typical William Reid." I groaned putting my phone in my pocket. I decided to skip my next class I didn't really need it anyway and just go home instead.

📚🚓🤓

After a long shower I sat at my laptop and read everything I could find on Dr. Spencer Reid. The more I found out the less I was able to deny or relation, he was my brother and now I had to tell him.

Hopefully he'll take it better than I did, I joked to myself. I looked at the clock and it was only 12:30pm, if I got dressed now and called a cab I could be in Quantico by roughly 2:56

I was sitting in that bag of the cab nervously counting the minutes as I read article after article about Spencer, the BAU, and even about his mother

I was sitting in that bag of the cab nervously counting the minutes as I read article after article about Spencer, the BAU, and even about his mother. It wasn't very hard to find the information as I had very good computer hacking skills.

"Hey, we're here." The driver name Zack said happily and I smiled up at him

"Thanks Zack." I smiled putting my laptop back into my bag and grabbing my coffee.

🤓🚓📚

With a sigh I stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the glass doors where I could see the team gathered on the other side.

"Excuse me...I'm here for Gideon." I said drawing there attention just as a woman who I immediately recognized as Penelope Garcia came running in.

"Sir! We've got a problem." She said and I had a feeling I knew what that problem was.

"Wait here." Hotchner said and I nodded as the team followed Garcia off to where I'm assuming her office was.

🤓🚓📚

After about ten minutes I heard multiple foot steps walking towards me.

"Elizabeth! Lovely to see you again!" Jason said with a smile as the team reached us with confused looks

"Afternoon sir."

"Elizabeth! You-she!" Garcia shirked happily

"Woah woah woah, baby girl calm down." Morgan laughed

"What's going on?" Elle asked confused

"Elizabeth I'd like you to meet the team, I'd introduce you but something tells me you already know everyone?" Gideon asked and I nodded

"Great then team let me introduce you to Dr. Elizabeth Reid." Jason said causing mixed reactions from the team but the only reaction I care about was my brother's. Spencer just stared at me with confusion written all over his face before Jennifer broke the silence

"Wait how do you know us?" She asked and I looked at Garcia

"She's the hacker." She mumbled and I nodded

"I wanted to know if Spencer was actually my brother." I shrugged

"But how?" Morgan asked confused

"William Reid is my father and we have different mothers. I'm not sure on the specifics yet but that much I know." I explained and the team nodded but Spencer still hasn't said anything

"How old are you?" He mumbled

"16, born February 14, 1989" I answered immediately and he just nodded I couldn't tell what he was thinking but I knew he was upset.

"Did he talk about me?" He asked and I shook my head

"Maybe to my mother but never to me. I just found out about you today."

"You two should talk." Hotch said gesturing to the office at the top of the stairs. We both nodded and I followed him up the stairs.

"Did you know about me?" I asked after closing the door and he shook his head.

"My- our father left my mother and I in 1984, never really heard from him after that." He explained as I sat next to him on the couch with a small nod

"Was he... did you.... are you from Vegas?" He asked almost sadly and I nodded

"My mom wanted to move but he said he didn't have the heart to leave, I guess now I know why." I sighed sadly looking down at my hands

"So you're a doctor?" He asked changing the subject and I nodded

"Graduated at age 9, and when on to get three PhDs in Behavioral Analysis, Computational Biology, and Mathematics and I'm studying to get a BA in Computer Science." I smiled noticing the proud look on his face.

"I'm impressed, what's your IQ?" He asked with a smile starting the long conversation we had about theories, IQs, shared school experiences, and more. I wasn't sure how long we talked until Gideon knocked on the door saying in was time to go home for the night.

The three of us walked back to the team with smiles on our faces

"It's seems like you two had a lovely afternoon?" JJ asked and I nodded

"She's got an impressive IQ!" Spencer bragged to the team as we walked to the elevators

"Oh really? What is it?"

"178!" We said in unison with a laugh

"Seems like we have another kid genius on our hands." Morgan joked and I smiled happily for the first time since my mom died I felt comfortable and wanted an I loved it.
