It's been a week since I've begun working in the BAU again, and I was excited for today. Today I was able to get matching charms for everyone here to wear that matched my tattoo.
'I should get one on top of my heart so I can always look at it. Maybe.....'
I walked into the bullpen to see a few people were there.
"Bonsoir!" I exclaimed making them look towards me.
"What do you have there Riv?" Penelope asked
"I'm glad you ask. I just got these on my day off, so I can give them to you all. My uncle Bobby sent them to me due to what we believe and what not." I told handing her, Emily's and Dereks boxes to them.
"Uncle Bobby?" Derek asked making me nod,
"Yeah. Not biologically related, but I know him from my uncle Marine. He's just family at this point. Now open them up and put them on."
They opened the boxes and looked at the small anti-possession charms making me smile.
"Isn't this like your tattoo?" Emily asked making me nod.
"Yep. As thank you all for being supportive of my situation once you all found out. Also as good luck charms to not becoming possessed and what not."
"Thanks Baby." Derek told giving me a hug before the other two did the same.
"No problem."
I knocked on the door and opened it to see Hotch and Rossi were talking.
"Hello father figures!"
"Hello Finley." Hotch told showing a small smile before returning to his usual look.
"What do we owe this greeting?" Rossi asked
"I come with gifts. Good luck charms if you will, that my uncle Bobby had dropped off. It's a thank you for everything you do have done for me."
"Uncle Bobby?" They both asked.
"Yeah. We aren't blood related, he was friends with my uncle Marine before he passed." I explained as they opened the boxes up to show the charms.
"Isn't this like the tattoo you've got?" Hotch asked making me nod.
"As a good luck of sorts. You don't know what out there really. You've also got one for your son and his aunt."
"Thank you Finley."
"Thanks Il mio piccolo genio."
"No problem. You guys are my family."
"J! Your finally here!" I exclaimed as I rushed towards her.
"You're very excited today."
"I've got gifts." I told as I showed her the box.
"You didn't have to."
"It's a thank you. For everything. Your the best sister anyone could ask for and you've supported me.... Once you found out I was going to therapy again and not cheating on Spencer."
She opened the box and saw the three identical charms making her smile even though she was confused.
"These are like your tattoo."
"Yep. As good luck for you all, as well as protection in the supernatural world." I told making her chuckle. "Put it on. Everyone's got one, even Will and Henry."
"Thank you River." She told giving me a hug after putting it on.
"No problem J. You all mean the world to me."
Soon Spencer came in making the team in the bullpen smile.
"Ok pretty boy. Show us your lucky charm." Morgan told
"What?"
"You know the bracelet I gave you last night and made sure you put it on so it fit and then said 'don't ever take it off.'.... That charm."
"Oh right." He told putting his bag down next to me and showed his matching one.
"She did different colours for everyone." Penelope stated.
"I still don't understand how wearing this will stop me from becoming 'possessed'. It seems irrational."
"Just because you don't believe in the supernatural, doesn't mean that it still won't protect you in anyway."
"As long as me wearing it makes you happy then I will wear it till I die, or it breaks." He told kissing the top of my head.
"Understandable. I should tell you all, you can shower or bathe with it on. Nothing will rust. Also better protection if you just never take it off."
"Hence you having a tattoo of it." Prentiss told
"That and I also always wear one as well." I told showing my matching bracelet with the boy band and Zack. "I've kinda just hid them all over me incase they get taken and destroyed. I'm actually thinking of having it be tattooed over my heart as well, just in case the other gets destroyed in some way."
"Who knew River was so superstitious." Morgan stated.
"J."
"We shared a dorm room together, and I found her putting salt along the windows and around the front door to our room." She told.
"Salt?" They asked
"Wards off ghosts and demons."
"And she kept a crow bar and a fire place poker next to her bed." She added.
"Still does." Spencer continued. "And before you ask Penelope, no. We just sleep in the others bed occasionally."
"Pure iron effects ghosts as well. Hurts them a lot."
"Not gonna lie, wouldn't expect River to know all this." Morgan told
"Same." The others told all at once.
'If they only knew the true reason why I do.'
