isa di angelo has a rough past, things haven't always gone her way but getting into the bau was a good thing, it was supposed to be her time to shine but she's less excited about that honour when she realises that they hired a new member to the team...

at the back of the bau jet, in the seat at the window, you'll find isa di angelo with her head in a book.
after debriefing on their latest case, the members of the bau seemed to split up in groups of two or three, the only people who weren't in groups were isa and david rossi.
the older agent always took a liking to the youngest member of the bau, always wondered about her, always worried. usually she would be talking to jj about getting their hair done or planning to go to the shooting range with emily or she and spencer would be playing a game of chess but ever since she got back from her week of mandatory leave, she's been acting strange and rossi can't help but notice it might have something to do with the newest member of the team.
when rossi approached her, she didn't even notice him, still wrapped up in her blankets and what she was reading. he didn't believe her for a second, "why are you pretending to read?" the raven haired girl's head snapped up at him, she was biting the corner of her bottom lip when she shut her book.
"pretending to read? come on, rossi, who pretends to read?" she played dumb which is what she always did when someone caught her doing something. "apparently you do, what's up, kid?" isa always had this look in her eyes when she knew there was no place to turn, it was the same look a deer gave when it knew it was about to get run over.
she leaned in closer when she spoke, "im avoiding luke." good, rossi could work with honesty. he followed her lead, the two now eye to eye. "why are we avoiding alvez?" he had his theories but it was best to get in straight from the horse's mouth.
everyone on the team knew about their history, they didn't know all the details but they knew a lot. based on the fact that isa knows luke snores and luke knows isa talks in her sleep, everyone could figure out that the two didn't know each other in a strictly platonic way.
isa opened her mouth to say something before her eyes darted over to where luke walked past them, heading for the kitchenette behind them and that's when isa spoke up, "you wanna mind your own business, rossi?" that was definitely not what the older man was expecting.
he knew he could have broken through her shell if luke didn't interrupt them but maybe he should leave isa, he knew she was a dead end, maybe he had to go to luke if he wanted to know anything.
rossi wasn't supposed to care about isa's private life but if something bothered her, he wanted to help. rossi knew he wasn't her father but he had worked closely with her parents before their untimely deaths and he promised them that he would take care of their now eldest daughter.
isa had lost so much in so little time that rossi wondered how she managed to get out of bed in the morning but he had a sneaky suspicion that it had something to do with her younger sister, nevada. the two girls were the only members of the di angelo family left standing and he knew isa being a part of the same team that killed her family must be hard for her, and even harder for her sister.
