"My kindness is a choice." ---- One little girl shouldn't be dropped in the middle of CIA plots and deceptions. Children of any age were too young to understand the patriotic duty to protect their nation at any cost necessary. Except, here she was, defying orders and making sure they regret ever clawing their way into her life. She liked it that way. She didn't expect to run into Doctor Spencer Reid. ---- The BAU has a bad habit of sticking their noses in places it shouldn't be. When there's an opening to investigate an incident that left a hole in Spencer's life, the team is all-hands on deck. He let that little girl slip from his grasp once, but he'd never let it happen again. But the answers the team uncovers may be too much to bear. OR Parental! Spencer Reid with a genius adopted kid who likes to disappear on him.

Meet Thea Carter, expert hacker and mechanic. She can fix any machine fast. She can build anything, given the right supplies. She can hack her way into any device she wants. And now she's under arrest for hacking into a secure FBI database. Director Briggs and Special Agent Sterling decide to offer Thea a choice: either a prison sentence or join the Naturals. Without much debate, Thea chooses to join the team. The FBI knows that, like the other Naturals, Thea has a past. What the FBI doesn't know is exactly how dangerous Thea's past is. Or that the past is coming back to get her.

They say trauma sharpens the senses. For Kaira Lovelace, it created a weapon. At twelve years old, Kaira was found drenched in her father's blood. Her mother, missing. The killer, gone without a trace. They said she was lucky to survive. But Kaira knew better: monsters don't leave survivors by accident. Now seventeen, Kaira is a Natural, an Echo Analyst with the uncanny ability to hear what others miss, trained by the FBI to solve cold cases alongside a team of brilliant, broken teens. She's built a new life from silence and steel. A life where nothing catches her off guard. Until now. When a new recruit joins the program, secrets start to unravel. Old nightmares resurface. And the truth Kaira has spent years trying to forget claws its way into the light.

In a house full of people who can see through lies, read emotions, and uncover secrets for a living, manipulation may no longer be enough to keep her in control. As dangerous cases begin pulling the Naturals back into active investigations, Elizabeth struggles to adapt to a life with rules, stability, and people who seem to care whether she lives or dies.
