BAU x Male!reader - past work
I was wondering if I could request BAU Team x Male reader who used to work in x-files(classified cases dealing in supernatural phenomenon) and has both seen/been through things that are humanly impossible. Reader having Marie Antoinette syndrome and they react very differently compared to the others on the team calm/clear level headed(nothing seems to surprise them) But what if the team take a case that has to do with a 'cult' and the team get a chance to learn what kind of work reader did from the way he knows information of what dealing with the real thing is, and reader starts to avoid sleep cause nightmares start being more frequent. Reader getting some comfort from the team - @xweirdo101x 💜
Sitting in your car, you watched as your phone rang for the third time, and with a heavy sigh you sent them to voicemail so you could read the messages they were sending you.
You called your boss back and stuck it on speaker, setting it in your dashboard as you began to read through some of the papers you had.
“You’re ignoring our calls.”
“Sorry Hotch, I was driving, what is it?”
“We have a case, where are you right now?”
Grabbing your phone, you began to check your location before telling him.
“You’re not that far off from the town we’re heading to, are you able to meet us there and get everything set up?”
“Yeah of course, see you later.”
You hung up and put in your destination on your phone, checking how far you were and you were only a couple of hours out.
After sorting a hotel room and everything, you began the drive to the town for your next case.
When you got there, you checked yourself into the hotel first, sorting a few other rooms for the rest of your team before heading to the police station.
“I’m looking for the sheriff.”
You handed the woman your badge and she checked it before smiling, pointing you in the right direction.
After speaking with him about the reason you were here, getting some files from him and setting up a room for the team you began to read through everything.
You weren’t aware of how much time had passed until you heard people walking in.
“So this is where you ran off to, you’re really far away from home.” Derek said.
“Well I was in a drive visiting some people, so I happened to be driving past.”
You set the pen next ti the whiteboard and turned around so you could start talking to them about everything you had been working out while you waited for them.
“You’ve been busy.” Rossi chuckled.
“I had some time to kill, did one of you grab my go bag?”
“Yeah, I have it it’s in my room.” Hotch said.
You nodded, sitting back down at the table.
“How did you figure all this out? Reid only got halfway through the trip here.” JJ said.
“Previous work. Oh by the way the morgue are waiting for one of you.”
With that you wondered away to do something else.
You tended to work on your own, and this was a particular case you had to work by yourself because you were convinced there was more to it than what you thought.
Sitting back in your chair, you tapped your pen against the papers.
Grabbing your laptop, you logged in and pulled up some old encrypted files beginning to work on them and read through them.
Closing the down, you put your laptop away.
“Reid what’s your thoughts on the case?” You asked.
“Well, based on the evidence, I would say it’s some sort of cult, though it doesn’t refer to any religion or cult I’ve read or heard from before.”
You got up, walking over you stood behind him, resting your hand in the table as you began to look through his papers.
“Not a mainstream religion, are you sure it’s cult?”
“Everything points to that, these are very well thought off kills, they’re meticulously planned, everything is precise and done with care.”
“I devised the murder itself was with poison, is that correct?” You asked.
“Yes, the tests didn’t show anything, but Hotch and Derek did find that there was an injection point under the tongue.”
You nodded your head and pushed yourself away from the table.
“I have to make a few calls, I’ll be back soon.”
Grabbing your phone you left, going to your car to make the phone calls.
You were connecting all the dots, and you needed some way to solve this without getting your team involved for their own sake.
Unfortunately it didn’t work out that way, because a few days later when the profile and been delivered and you knew exactly what you were doing, while you were sorting something out the team had made their move.
Hotch told you to meet them there, and you had to rush to get there but it was too late.
They were tied in the middle of a pentagram, and you stepped inside, ducking by a bookshelf as you rummaged through your bag.
“What are you doing?! Get us out!” Emily hissed.
“Give me a moment.” You replied.
Taking a small vile, you opened it, pouring the dust into your.
Walking over, you knelt down, gently blowing the dust at then and you watched as a shimmer appeared around the circle.
“Just like I thought, barrier.”
“What the hell does that even mean?!” Derek snapped.
“It means that I can’t get in, you can’t get out, I need to break that barrier to help you.”
Heading back to your bag, you grabbed the knife you kept in there, putting the hilt in your mouth as you stuffed it out of the way.
“They went upstairs.” Reid said quietly.
Nodding your head, you looked towards the stairs, grabbing a marble from your pocket.
You rolled it across the floor, towards the stairs and it triggered a trap, a large spike of ice shooting down from the ceiling.
You heard running from upstairs and stood up, holding the knife in your hand, grabbing the hilt of your gun with the other hand.
“Get out of here!” Rossi yelled.
They all shouted and panicked while you stood there calmly, not a single emotion present on your face.
The three woman came running down, stumbling back a few steps when they looked at you.
“Apparently they lied, I never died. I left, and you have been causing issues, so, now I’m here. Let’s talk.”
The team could only sit there and watch as a fight broke out, and you had detained two of them before turning to the third who was younger than the others.
She backed herself against the wall and nodded her head.
“You’re going to break that circle and let my team go, do you understand me?”
She undid the circle and let them all go, holding her hands in the air as she turned to look at you.
“Are you going to kill me…? I heard you kill people…”
“No. And I have. You’ve been misguided, there’s another team coming, I’ll have a talk with them. Sit down.”
She nodded, sitting on the floor and you turned to your team.
“I will answer all your questions after this.”
And that’s what you did, after getting the young witch into a training school for young supernaturals you went back to the hotel to tell your team everything.
In a way it was like a weight lifted off your shoulders, but life was never that simple.
The case had opened memories you had tried so hard to forget, sleep was hard to come by now, so you took some days off to try and work it out but nothing was helping.
You were growing more and more tired, to the point where it wasn’t safe for you to drive or work.
Walking into your living room, you sighed, running a hand down your face as you set your coffee on the table.
Your door opened and you gripped the hilt of your knife.
“It’s us!” Rossi announced.
You set the knife back down and turned to the doorway to watch as the teamed came in.
“How’re you doing kid?” Derek asked you.
You shrugged a little, sitting in the arm of the couch.
“Could be better but that’s life.”
“Is this about the case?” Garcia asked you.
You nodded your head letting out a small sigh.
“There were things from my previous job that I was trying to escape, but I suppose some things can’t be buried forever.”
Emily walked over, sitting next to you.
“You know you can talk to us right?”
“I know, but trust me it’s things you don’t want to hear about. It’s nothing that won’t pass. I’m just constantly on edge, I have nightmares and flashbacks.”
You looked at her and walked over, sitting next to her in the larger couch, and she rested your head on her shoulder.
“We’ll stay here, keep an eye on things okay?”
“Yeah! We’ll watch over you while you sleep.”
Garcia walked over with a blanket and covered you up and they all sat around you.
“Go on, it’s alright.” Hotch said.
“The moment you start having a nightmare we’ll wake you up, it’s a promise. You did it for me so I want to do it for you.” Reid said.
“Thanks guys, I don’t think it’ll work, but thank you.”
You grabbed a pillow, putting it in JJ’s lap so you could lay down, and she ran her fingers through your white hair.
They did everything to soothe you into sleeping, and when you were asleep they quietly spoke to one another.
Even if they needed to stay here for the next few weeks, taking turns to look after you they would.
They knew you had been through a lot at your old job, the scars and your ability to remain stone cold in even the most upsetting situations gave that away and they wanted to help you
