Boy Genius and Girl Wonder (Spencer Reid x Reader)

Chapter 1 - The BAU

With your nose buried deep in your book you didn't notice the flight attendant handing you the juice Emily Prentiss had ordered you, the attendant laughs softly and places the cup on the edge of your fold out tray, you jump a little and stare at the cup, then look up but by then the attendant had moved on.  You hear a soft laugh to your left and look over at Prentiss. "You should drink something; this flight is eight hours and you've been reading non-stop for seven of them" You shrug and smile. Prentiss shakes her head gently "You're not going to have any books left by the time we land!" she smirks and your raise your eyebrow and pull your tablet out from your bag, unlocking it and showing her the hundreds of book downloads.  "I didn't think you'd go digital!" She laughs, gently mocking you.

"Paper is always the best way to experience the written word... but desperate times call for desperate measures... I never liked airplane weight restrictions..." You frown slightly and Emily smiles and shakes her head again plugging her earphone back in again and looking out the window.  You smile to yourself and drink the juice before returning to your book.

The final hour of the flight went by quicker than you hoped, you still had ten more chapters of your book left, you closed it and held it tight as you slung your bulky book filled messenger bag over your shoulder and exited the plane, Emily leads you out the airport and to a black SUV waiting in the taxi bay, she opened the front door and got in, you shyly opened the back door to be faced with a beaming blond, her green eyes shining as she looks you over. "Emily wasn't lying... I thought you were Reid..." She laughed and Emily looked back you and laughed at your frown as you got in the SUV.  "Holy Cow she literally is the female version of the boy genius himself! Wait till Reid sees her!" You continued to frown at Emily, your frown intensifying.  "I'm Penelope by the way hun! I'm the tech wiz for these cool kids" She offers her hand out to you, you look at her vibrant nails all painted different to the others, you smiled at them and shook her hand.

"(Y/N)(L/N), pleasure to meet you Miss Garcia..." Penelope laughed again, giddy with excitement.

"She even talks like him!" She shakes her head and takes her hand back "Oh but please call me Penelope or Garcia... the miss is to... Missy" She smiles and you raise your eyebrow. The vehicle engine starts and that seemed to remind Garcia of something. "Oh! And (Y/N) our chauffeur today and team leader always is Aaron Hotchner, he may seem a bit broody but you get used to that" Garcia smiles warmly at you.  The drive was relatively short, Emily and Garcia chatted the whole way.  Garcia seemed to be stuck in British mode, though you had to admit her accent was decent if Eliza Doolittle was what she was going for.  When the SUV stopped everyone got out briskly while you were left to pick up your bag and cautiously exit the vehicle, you put your bag across your chest and clutched your book close.  You stand still and Penelope and Aaron look you over properly.  You felt a little stupid in your men's black dress trousers and dark grey dress shirt.  Your sweater vest made you feel exceptionally warm in the American heat, it was either the weather or the scrutiny but you weren't comfortable. You nervously adjusted your glasses pushing them up your face.  Emily recognised this and ushered the other two ahead of her into the building, you followed and before you knew it you were in that large open office space, even though there were separate desks there was a congregation of people who seemed to be waiting for something... or someone.  As you and Emily walked into the room it was clear they were waiting for the two of you.
