Raphael x OC x Spencer Reid

Chapter 3

After hours of working on the geographical profile, Angel decided to take a break and maybe get some coffee. While she usually would make a pot at whatever station they were working at, the coffee machine maker was out of order. Angel decided to take advantage of the situation.

After Angel grabbed her jacket and wallet, offering to hold her and Spencer a cup of coffee. To no surprise, he was more than delighted to accept a cup. Spencer had even attempted to walk with her to the coffee shop. Angel nevertheless graciously declined his offer. She was more than capable of protecting herself, and she knew this.

It didn't take Angel long to walk to the coffee shop, just a five-minute walk. About 10-minutes later, Angel was finally stepping out with two cups of coffee and making her way back to the police station. She was unaware that Raph was staring at her as she made her way ago.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The minute Raph saw Angel, he knew he was screwed. There just 20 feet away, was the woman who he was in love with and the one who got away. Raph didn't even know how to feel. Happy? Guilty? So many thoughts ran through his head.

Raph got caught up in his thoughts and took no notice that his brothers had walked up next to him. Leo waved his hand in front of his brother's face, not even noticing Angel at first. "Raph, What's going on? Why did you suddenly stop?" Leo asked as he made continued attempts to get Raph's attention.

Donnie followed Raph's eyesight and saw what, or rather, who Raph was staring at; his eyes widened a bit before he tapped Leo on the shoulder. "Leo, look." He said, pointing to Angel walking down the sidewalk.

Leo turned his attention to Donnie for a moment before looking over to where Donnie was pointing. He saw Angel walking, and suddenly everything about Raph's behavior made sense. He looked over at Raph and gently shook his shoulders. "Raph? Raph! Are you okay?" He asked, worried about his brother.

Raph couldn't respond. He just watched as Angel walked into the police station. He shook his head before stepping back, running his hands over the top of his head and resting them on the back of his neck. "Sh-She's here? But how? I looked all over New York City and couldn't find her!! H-How could I have missed her?!" Raph questioned. He could feel his eyes welling up with tears at the mere thought of seeing her again.

Was this fate giving him a second chance? A chance to make things right. Or was this karma, showing him what he lost. Either way, Angel was here, she was here, and he wanted to talk to her. After a few moments of silence, he finally spoke up. "I-I need to talk to her! I have to hear her voice, see her in person. I need to know that's her!" Raph rambled as he paced around in circles on the rooftop.

Leo looked over at Donnie and Mikey with a worried look. Had Raph gone insane? It's been seven months since he'd seen Angel. So much could have happened in that amount of time. He didn't want Raph to talk to her and then find out he's too late. Leo knew more than anyone that would destroy Raph. "Raph, You're not thinking straight. Let's take a moment and think rationally." Leo said smoothly.

Raph shook his head before looking at his brother. "No, you don't get it, Leo! Angel is right there and in person. I have been thinking about this moment for months, and now it's finally happening. I finally have the chance to make it right, maybe even win her heart back." Raph said as he felt the tears run down his face. It'd been so long since he has seen her, and that moment when he saw her again, he knew he craved. No. He needed her back.

Leo sighed before making his way closer to Raph. "Raph! What if she's moved on? Has a new boyfriend? Or what if she doesn't want to talk to you? I'm not trying to hurt you, but I don't want you to try and talk to her if you're just gonna end up heartbroken again." Leo said, attempting to reason with Raph. He knew nothing would stop Raph if this was what he really wanted, but he wanted to at least try.
