Fleur was waiting in the lobby of the BAU for Elijah, he texted to say he would be a little late.
"Fleur, I'm here." Elijah ran up to the door, nearly falling through.
"Jesus." Fleur chuckled,"How long ago did you wake up?
"That.. That is classified information." Elijah pointed.
"Five? Ten minutes?" Fleur raised a brow.
"Shut up." He sighed.
"Come on." Fleur walked to the elevator.
"I'm coming." Elijah nodded as he followed her.
Fleur pressed the button to go up, just as the doors were about to close they heard a voice.
"Hold the door!" Seaver ran up.
Elijah sighed and slowly stuck his foot out, not even really trying to reach the door in time.. But he did.
"Oh- Elijah, Fleur. Thank you." Seaver smiled as she walked in
"No problem." He nodded, glancing over at Fleur.
"Nice weekend?" Fleur tried to make conversation, leaning against the wall.
"Yes, I had quite a nice time." Seaver hummed.
"Good." Fleur nodded slowly,"Eli, remember the time Emily was still drunk when she came to work after girls night?"
"Oh, trust me. I could never forget that." Elijah chuckled softly.
"Can we.. Not talk about her?" Seaver cleared her throat.
"Excuse me?" Elijah blinked.
"Sorry." Seaver fixed her hair,"Emily was great, an amazing woman but she's gone, we don't need to bring her up anymore."
Fleur looked at Seaver,"You have no right to even mention her name. Now- I tolerate you, Ashley but the one thing you do not do is tell me to forget about my dead friend."
"I'm not saying you forget her-"
"No, that's exactly what you just said." Elijah pointed,"And hey, while we're at it, I've got a few things I need to say to you."
"I was only just saying-"
"You're not the only one on this team with daddy issues- Hell, you're not the only one with a serial killer dad."
"I..I know." Seaver nodded.
"Do you know what I went through? Do you know the things I saw?" Elijah stepped closer to Seaver.
"I understand."
"No- You don't! You were eighteen, I was ten. He made me stand there and shoot a girl in the face."
Seaver stood still, not saying anything.
"You make it out to be the only one on this team with problems, Ashley." Fleur crossed her arms.
"I just-"
"I had to kill people because people trained me for it when I was eight years old. At least you never had to pick up a gun and kill someone- Watch the life drain from someone."
"Even after the killing was over.. I still managed to die twice before reaching my eighteenth birthday." Elijah shook his head.
"I'm..I'm sorry you two went through that." Seaver sighed.
"It doesn't matter." Elijah shrugged.
That's when the elavator dinged, Seaver walking out immediately as the doors opened.
