In love with my bestfriend(s)

02

I arrive at the bau.
I take my first steps into the elevator.
A chocolate skin coloured slightly bald man stood next to me.
"Damn you are one gorgeous woman" he says to me.
Hearing him call me woman just felt wrong all over my body. But I'm not going to correct a strange man I will never see again.

"What floor so you need to be gorgeous?" He asked me polite.
I was uncomfortable with him calling me that. But he doesn't seem to have any wrong intentions. Some men just use nick names like that. But don't mean disrespect.
"I actually don't know. I'm searching for Erin Strauss's office. Would you know which floor?" I asked him.
"I'll take you up"

He walked with me to Strauss's office.
"Here it is. Becarefull she can be quit intense to say the least" he walked away after that.

I nocked on the door.
"Come in" I heat from inside.
I open the door to see her behind her desk.
"Agent y/l/n your not supposed to be in for another 30 minutes" Strauss was shocked to see me.
"Well either I'm way to early or to late so... I decided early was better" I say laughing. I'm really not good at time management.
"I bought coffee" strauss takes 1 of the cups.
"Mhh thank you. Making a good impression already" she smiled.
Her smile looks forced tho. Like it's usually for her to smile.

"I'll introduce you to the unit chief Aaron hotchner" she guided me out the door. I waited for her to show me the direction and then follow nicely behind her.
"How's quantico liking you?" She asked.
"Haven't seen much if it but its okay. I can live anywhere, since I kinda lived everywhere"
I moved around alot! Never stayed longer then 2 years. Also helps that i had a stalker I was running away from.
"Your originally from california right?" She asked.
"Yea that's where i grew up. But I was actually born in the Netherlands"

I was actually kinda doomed to be queer. The Netherlands is very supportive of homosexuality.
And california is full of girls rollerblading in bikinis.
But my parents weren't...atleast not my dad.

We arrived at agent hotchners office. I saw a few agents sitting in the bullpen.  The same guy who I was in the elevator with was looking at me.
Strauss knocks on his door before walking In.
"Agent hotchner" Strauss said to greet him. He stands up as if he were in the military.
The way he looks at strauss, I knew he didn't trust her.
"Chief strauss. What can I do for you?"
Hotchner asked.
He had a blank expression. His eye browns moved something making him look more intimateding.
But just by the look of his eyes, deep behind. I knew he was soft inside.

I look behind him and see a picture of a little kid. I smile at the picture. It must be his son. He looks 3 maybe 4.

"This is agent y/n y/l/n" strauss broke my chain of thoughts.
"Nice to meet you sir" I give him a handshake. His was firm and strong.

"Coffee?" I ask him. He kindly accepts.
" I wasn't expecting you for another 30 minutes or so" he said while looking at his watch.

"I'll leave you 2 be. Have a nice first day agent y/l/n" strauss said before she left. I give her a nodd. And return my attention to agent hotchner.
"Pls sit" he says politely.
So I do so.
"I read through your file. I just have 1 question"
I swallow hard. My file contains not so fun things about my life. My stalker...a closed file from child services. And that I have ptsd. From the events that happend leading up to being taken out of my home at 16.
And my previous drug use.

"Will any of this effect you at the job?"
He asked me with a concernd face.
"Ofc not sir. I'm still in therapy for my ptsd and I take medication. I go to AA meetings occasionally. I'm able to separate my prive life from the job sir. But I do want to point out that I am a human being sir"
Some cases might be difficult if they hit close to home. So it was important that he knew that I was human. A human being who is allowed to have feelings. I'm able to push then far down but I'm still human.

He nodds at me.
"I realise that. I just want to look after my team. Which you are now a part of. Welcome agent y/l/n" he shakes my hand again.
"May i say impressive resume." I smile at his comment.
"I'll introduce you to the team"
But before that he gives me my badge and gun.

3ds person pov:

The whole team was in the bullpen when y/n and strauss walk to hotchners office.
"Is that the new agent?" Jj asked confused.
"I already met her in the elevator then ,she's pretty nice" Derek said to the team.
Everyone watches closely how the conversation with hotchner goes.
Penelope comes running down in her high heels.

"I'm guessing penelope knows about her" Emily says with a smile.
Penelope reaches the team.
"I did some research. But I might have invited their privacy to much"
Penelope had read y/n's file and so she knew that y/n uses they/them pronouns. But she didn't want to correct the team. Its not her place to out y/n.
"What do you mean?" Reid asked.
"Well okay first I found a very impressive resume. They are the same age as you reid. They're born on October 17th 1981"

"So she just turned 24?" Jj asked.
Y/n's birthday was about 3 months ago While they were still undercover.

"Yes and they have 3 PhD's. 1 in logistics, linguistics and pshychology. Their previous job was as an undercover agent. They catched knows serial killers. And mafia members."
"Damn she rocks" Derek commented.
"So why did you find that might have invaded her privacy?" Emily asked concerned.

"They had a stalker. I found a police report for a restraining order against their ex. He was very abusive. I also found a closed file but I didn't want to invade more than I already did" Penelope felt guilty for it.

"You just said all of that but what's her name?" Jj asked.
"Ow its doctor y/n y/l/n"
Rossi smiled as he remembered the name. "Why did you kept saying they?" He asked.

"Everyone conference room now!" Hotch screamed with y/n beside him.
