Part of a Team - Criminal Minds Fanfiction

Chapter 1 - First Case

This was it. The day the Academy was waiting for. Their first cases, when they find out the departments they were going in.

Elijah and Fleur had been hand picked by the current BAU for their skills. Today was the day they were meeting and going to their work.

Elijah, of course, was trying to talk to people and get a grip of his new surroundings but not many people seemed very interested.

That's when he noticed a girl who was standing by herself, a hot chocolate cup in her hand.

"Oh- Excuse me." Elijah approached her.

"Yes?" She raised a brow.

"Well, I'm new. I'm not really sure where I'm supposed to go."

"Oh, thank god, it's not just me." She let out a sigh of relief,"I'm new here too. I was hoping someone was expecting me but... No one has been here."

"Maybe we should introduce ourselves, I'll start." Elijah hummed,"My name is Elijah Dean, what about yourself?"

"Fleur Howards." Fleur put her hand out, a hint of a French accent.

"The pleasure is mine." Elijah shook her hand.

"So what's your specialty?" Fleur tilted her head.

"Oh, I worked in Hostage Negotiations. You?" Elijah raised a brow.

"Undercover Operations, its mainly for children affected by Sex Crime... I go undercover to catch predators." Fleur shrugged.

"Now that's impressive."

"Yeah?" Fleur smiled.

"Yeah, I'd be terrible at undercover stuff." Elijah shook his head.

"You get used to it." Fleur shrugged and looked at her documents,"Is your Director, Hotchner?"

"Oh, yes.' Elijah nodded,"I'm a little intimidated, I've heard he's strict."

"Me too. Maybe we should go find his office, I think we've had enough stares around here." Fleur sighed.

"Yeah, best do something useful." Elijah sighed,"But... Where is it?"

"Probably... The biggest office."

"Hm... That one." Elijah pointed upstairs.

"Then let's go." Fleur hummed and walked up the stairs, knocking on the door.

"Come in."

Fleur glanced at Elijah and walked in,"Hi sir, I'm Fleur Howards."

"And I'm Dean, Elijah Dean." Elijah followed her lead.

"You're the new agents, correct?" Hotchner asked.

"Yes, sorry we're late. We never got told where we were meant to go." Fleur shook her head.

"Well, you're in the right place now.' Hotchner nodded,"We're going to brief everyone in the conference room soon, you can meet everyone there."

"Right. Where... Will we put our stuff?"

"There should be two free desks downstairs." Hotchner pointed,"Take your pick."

"Thank you." Fleur smiled and turned around, walking out.

"I'll- Yeah. See you soon, sir." Elijah nodded before following Fleur.

"Which one would you like?" Fleur nodded.

"Oh, ladies first. I don't mind."

"Wow, a gentleman." Fleur chuckled as she put her stuff on a desk.

"Of course, I was raised well." Elijah smiled.
