memories [aaron hotchner x ofc]

Cleopatra Prakavi Parsnip (her parents were weird) is famous. Born in 1973, taken in 1978, and found in 1987. Her name was on every newspaper in America for months. Which is why when she finally makes it to the BAU, she promises herself that she will never, ever reveal what happened to her to the team. She calls herself Cleo (which isn't a problem, that was what she was called anyway), and refuses to reveal her last name.

Jason Gideon and David Rossi are the only ones who know who she actually is, Erin Strauss has an idea, and Aaron Hotchner knows that at least something happened, it is only the people at the very top who know her whole story. Because of her circumstances, her full name is allowed to be hidden from her team. But when Angel, a boy who escaped captivity, refuses to talk, Cleo must decide whether revealing her name and thus her past to help this child is worth it.

When she does, connections are made, and unanswered questions from her case start being brought up again. Will she be able to continue this job when old demons are brought back? Can she handle it?

She doesn't know.
