Rossi was sitting looking out the window. He was sure he recognized Ivy somewhere. Her name seemed familiar.
Rossi gets shaken out of his thoughts when he hears Ivy's scream.
He looks over and spots Ivy who had just bolted up from her seat.

Ivy's POV
I bolt up from the horrible experience and find myself sweating buckets. I feel my breathing trying to even itself out, as I stare out in the distance in shock.
"Hey hey hey....." Spencer soothes me. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls in for comfort.
"I- I- He-" I start mumbling.
He presses my forehead against his chest, and brushes his hands through my hair.
"I know...I know...." He says, his voice is cracking. Is he crying too?
I can feel many eyes staring at the back of my head. I grip onto Spencer's vest, and hide in shame.

After a few minutes in silence. "This is so embarrassing. Some agent I am."
"Everyone of us on this plane has been through something treacherous."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Emily says, walking over to us. "I was sent undercover a few years back, and last year my nightmare found me again."
"Gosh."
"Do you recognize the name 'Ian Doyle'?"
"Oh shit... You were the one he was after?"
"Heh, yep. That was me."
Morgan walks up to them, and sits across from them.
"I was taken advantage of as a child."
"As in-"
"Yep."
Ivy unraveled herself from Spencer's arms, and sat next to Morgan. She placed a hand over his.
"I too, was taken advantage of. I know I didn't go through everything you did, but I understand where you're coming from." Ivy gives a soft- sad, smile.
"Did you end up telling your parents about them?"
"Uh- No. I wasn't even in the same state as them."
Morgan places a hand over Ivy's. "I'm sorry."
"Me too." She softly smiles. "I'm glad Spence has a friend like you."
"Oh ya. He's lucky alright. I don't just choose anyone to be my friend."
"It's an honour to have the role of being your best friend." Spencer jokes.
Rossi hands Ivy a tissue. "Thanks." She replies.
"We've all had a time in our life when we've gone through something awful." Hotch reminds the team, mainly Ivy.
"The plane will be landing in 10 minutes." JJ says, coming from the cockpit.

Hotch's POV
Ivy's been through some tough times. She's not different from everyone else on the team.
Except the fact that we have a second certified genius on our team.
