Boy Genius and Girl Wonder (Spencer Reid x Reader)

Chapter 2 - 187-160 = 27 IQ Gap

You nervously thumb the corners of your book and glance around at the faces who are all looking at you, you take them in one at a time from left to right.  A young fit black man with extremely neatly trimmed facial hair, he was smiling widely and his eyes were looking from you to Garcia as he welcomed back his 'Baby Girl'.   Another man, older, slightly tanned also with well-maintained facial hair jet black matching the hair on his head, you noted his Italian accent as he welcomed Prentiss back.  Next were two women, the first was young blonde and petit she had shiny blue eyes and was smiling warmly at you, you couldn't help but smile back.  The second woman was older, thick brown hair reached her shoulders and she looked like someone that had the answers to everything.  Emily smiled and greeted everyone and turned to you, "(Y/N) (L/N), this is Derek Morgan, David Rossi, Jenifer Jareau and Alex Blake..." She trailed off "Where is Reid?" she looked at Morgan.

"Why should I know, I don't keep tabs on the boy genius" Morgan chuckled "Though do we really need him? (L/N) here is practically his replacement!" Morgan walked over to you and that's when you noted his height, you had to tilt your head up to make eye contact with him. "All though a lot shorter, travel sized Reid?" The others breathed laughs at his joke and you raised an eyebrow.

"I don't understand, so I dress like one of the agents here?" You questioned "So this gives me some standard you want me to live up too?... I apologise in advance if I don't meet the requirements"

"There are no requirements in relation to IQ, however, I'm sure you're aware of the screening process for any psychological issues that might tamper with your ability to perform your duty" This voice didn't come from any of the agents standing before you, you turned around to see the long dirty blonde-haired male standing there, dressed almost identical to you. "And its Doctor, not agent..." he trailed off and stepped forward a little nervously "Doctor Spencer Reid, I've read a lot about you (L/N) "I hear they called you Girl Wonder back at Interpol..."

"Yeah everyone else called her Girl Wonder, I called her Reid" Prentiss smirked and looked at Reid, he frowned.  "Oh, come on! The smartest man alive can't see what I'm talking about but Morgan can?"

"What's that meant to mean?!" Morgan protested but Emily ignored him.

"If your implying that you call her by my name because of the way she dresses then I understand" Reid replied looking you over just like everyone else had done.  You were beginning to get used to the comparisons now especially since you had your 'so called' doppelganger in front of you.

"Just because we dress a like doesn't make us at all the same..." You mumble "For one, he's male, taller and his clothes don't hang off him..." You let one of your arms drop to your side to show the sleeve of your shirt unrolling way past your hand. "Secondly, from what Prentiss has told me his IQ is far higher than mine 187 is significantly higher than 160... and I don't have an eidetic memory... I can only read 15,000 words per minute where as he can read 20,000..." You look at Reid. "Was I informed correctly?" Reid looks a little taken a back but he nods, his hair flopping in his eyes.  "Well then now that's cleared up... I'm (Y/N) not Reid... and I look forward to working with all of you" Everyone stared at you and you stood still looking down at your shoes. You thought that silence was going to last forever until you heard a phone ping.

"We've got a case..." Hotchner said "Everyone meet me and Strauss in the briefing room" He walked off to his office.

"Strauss..." JJ murmured and looked around at everyone "Is this going to be a big case?..."

"Either big or personal to Strauss..." Reid added.
