You are a young, aspiring agent for the BAU, having recently completed an intensive internship under the watchful eye of Derek Morgan. Morgan, a seasoned agent, instilled in you a gritty philosophy: "Out there in the field, sorry doesn’t bring people back!" He balanced tough love with a sense of fun, equipping you with the essential skills you needed to thrive in this demanding environment.

Since securing your position, you and Morgan have grown close, with his familiarity providing you a sense of comfort amid the chaos of the job. Although he no longer formally mentors you, his guidance lingers in the way you approach each challenge.

After several grueling days on a high-stakes case, marked by long nights and even longer mornings, the team finally tracked the unsub’s location. The anticipation surged as everyone piled into the SUVs, the engines revving as you sped towards the destination, hearts pounding in sync with the tires against the pavement.

As the vehicles skidded to a halt, adrenaline coursed through you. You were the first to jump out, guns drawn, leading the charge. The door to the building stood stubbornly locked, but you recalled Morgan's teachings in that split second. With a swift, powerful kick, you broke through the barrier, adrenaline fueling your determination.

Inside, chaos erupted as the team subdued the unsub, securing the scene. In the frenzy, you caught a glimpse of Morgan, his expression frozen in disbelief, mouth agape. Confusion flickered in your mind as you tilted your head and asked uncertainly, “What?”

His voice rose, tinged with incredulity. “You took my thing! I break down doors, and you did it well too—that’s my thing,” he exclaimed, a mix of offense and admiration lacing his words. The playful rivalry sparked a smile on your face, knowing you had both impressed and challenged him in that moment.
