With all due respect sir

New face New name New agent

For a few weeks, there had been a new face around the BAU. Everyone brushed them off at first, just thinking they were some agent. But when the assistant director of the FBI tells the unit chief that the team needs a new member. Some people get rubbed the wrong way. Not to mention Straus didn't really like the idea, but it was over her pay grade, so she didn't question it. After getting the file, Agent Hotchner read through its entirety. Well, what he could there was some redacted information. He was told that the agent would join in a week. They had to finish a case before coming in. It puzzled Hotch why the assistant director called the person 'they'. Never calling them by their name.

Of course will how skeptical he was, Hotchner had Garcia look up the agent. "Varya Holland was born in a city I can't pronounce outside of Moscow. Wait a minute, Varya isn't her real name. According to this, Varya isn't her real name it is Valentina. She has been trying to change her name since the day she became a natural US citizen. When she was 24. 10 years she has been waiting." "why is does everyone call her Varya? I thought we always had to go by our government names," Derek morgan questioned and pretenses nodded in agreement. " The only place she is called Valentina in the description of her file. One time," "that is some dedication," Emily said. "It seems like she did some undercover work for a few years. Top of her class at the academy. Over the years she has been floating between New York and D.C." Garcia finished

While discussing the agent. A person walks in wearing a pair of warm brown high-waisted pants with a black turtleneck. Topped with a charcoal blazer and black combat boots. Their hair was up in a ponytail. Carrying a duffel bag on their arm and a small to medium-sized bag on their back. Everyone could see the few cuts on their face and the bruises. They didn't make eye contact with anyone but searched around the room. They made a B Line towards the unit chief "SSA Hotchner correct?" they talked with a mild Russian accent "yes are you Valentina Holland" the agent's body tensed slightly

 "I would appreciate it if you called me Varya" Hotchner ignored their statement. "you weren't supposed to come in until next week" "I wrapped up my class quicker than expected" "I see with some complications" Morgan gestured to their face "just a guy with a fragile ego got upset compared to him I came out looking pretty good" Varya smirked "so where will a be sitting" they turned back to Hotch. he gestured to an empty desk. They nodded and placed the duffel under the desk.

They moved gracefully around. Moving things from their old desk to the new one. No one said anything to them just watching. They were creating questions they had. A question most of them had some more than others is why did they place a yellow-white purple and black flag in the pencil holder on the desk? Everyone had dispersed into their desks.

While trying to situate the desk, two people walk up to the desk. "so what really happened to get all that?" Derek morgan strutted over to the new agent with Dr. Reid in tow. He strike up a conversation "okay the busted lip was from another suspect that got upset at me everything else is from the unsub," "damn you took some hits" "yea this wasn't anything I've got some friends that like to spar and they are former army" Derek and the other agent winces. "So how long have you been in D.C" "9 months this go-round I think" "this go-round" the other agent finally spoke up "yea I keep moving back and forth between New York and D.C part of the reason I haven't been able to get my name changed" Varya shrugged. "But that isn't why you two came over here, is it?" they raised their eyebrow

"No, we were wondering what is that flag for," Derek paused before looking at the other agent "pretty boy here has a theory," "what is the theory um," "Spencer Reid Dr. Spencer Reid and the theory is that you are nonbinary which is what that flag is" "correct doctor"
