Morgan was pacing in Fleur's apartment, he was worried and wanted to get to work as soon as possible. Fleur rubbed her face as she walked into the living room.
"Flo- Are you ready?" Morgan turned to her.
"I'm just grabbing some lunch."
"Right. Right." Morgan nodded, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Breathe cherié.. Breathe." Fleur sighed and walked over.
Morgan shook his head,"I'm just worried about Hotch."
"I know, but he passed all the assessments."
"I just want to help him, y'know?"
"I understand." Fleur kissed his head.
Morgan sighed and held Fleur's cheek,"I love you so much."
"I love you too, just calm down." She hummed.
"I'll try my best." Morgan chuckled softly.
"Do you want tea to help?"
"Please?"
"Coming right up." Fleur nodded.
"What would I do without you?" Morgan smiled.
"Be very very unhappy."
"That's true." Morgan kissed her cheek.
"Okay, tea then we can go."
"Right, lead the way."
Fleur hummed and walked to the kitchen.

"Thanks." Reid winced as he sat down.
"Does it hurt?" Garcia asked.
"It really only hurts when I think about it, which is pretty much all the time." Reid told her before reaching for a box of cookies.
"No, no, no. Get away you." Garcia pointed,"These are for Hotch."
"I got shot in the leg and I don't get any cookies?" Reid crossed his arms,"You know he's going to hate the attention."
"Is my cooking not good enough then?" Elijah asked from the doorway.
"Your cooking is delicious. Don't worry." Reid assured Elijah.
"It's cookies, not cake."
"He's probably going to pretend like nothing happened anyway." Reid took a lollipop.
"Well that doesn't mean we have to." Garcia hummed.
"I think maybe we should."
"I don't roll that way." Garcia pouted.
"And that's why we love you." Elijah hummed,"But I've been thinking about something.. The entire time I've known Hotch, I don't think I've ever seen him blink."
"I know.. It's weird." Garcia sighed.
"Classic alpha male behavior." Reid nodded.
"Do you think he stared down Foyet?"
"Maybe. It could be what saved his life."
"Do you think he stared the whole time? Like, with each stab?" Garcia made a stabbing motion.
"I have no idea." Reid shook his head.
"Is he okay?"
"I wouldn't be." Elijah sighed,"But I'm a blinker."
"Guys, there you are. Grab your go bags." JJ walked into the room.
"What's going on?" Reid asked.
"Turn on the news."
