Maybe it was fate you joined the FBI when you did. Until that moment you met the team, you didnt have much to hold onto. But the BAU? You’d swim the distance of every ocean for them.

Unfortunately three weeks ago you were held hostage, and after it left with bruises, cuts, a broken wrist and mental scarring. The worst part of it all, you felt ugly after it, you refused to look in a mirror because the scars were scary and made you feel ugly.

Your boss, someone you saw as a father figure. Aaron Hotchner the observer he is, caught on when you avoided even the glass panes in the BAU. So he decided to try help, he went to Garcia for ideas to cheer you up, She recommended positive affirmation notes. Everyday you get another sticky note on your computer.

As the clock hits 9:34AM you slump at your desk, not feeling the best and just wanting today to be quick, you take your coat off and then look at your computer and smile, todays note read with cursive handwriting.

“Your skin and bones turn into something beautiful.”
