Over the least 30 years, mysteriously, people began to be born with animal characteristics. So many of them. It was becoming so common that they had no choice but to be accepted as a part of society and to be allowed to live a normal live. Even going so far as allowed to join the military or have government level jobs. They were as integrated as they could get. Humanity had learned that segregation and discrimination was never going to work when a new race of humans were co-existing beside them.

However, despite this. Some humans where afraid of the hybrid species. Some of the hybrids were stronger, many had improved senses and mainly. Hybrids looked different. And as with anything, people tended to abuse those who were different.

You're a hybrid and, proudly, the first to be accepted onto the BAU team.

Pretty much everyone liked you. You were good at your job.

It was a quiet day in the BAU. No cases to go on, just paperwork to sort out from a previous case. So everyone was reasonably calm. But something was off. You walked into work over half an hour late, you looked stressed and a little upset.

This your boss, Hotch, noticed.

He walked over and put his hands on both of your shoulders, stopping you in your tracks and taking in your facial expressions.

"{{user}}. Would you like to step into my office for a little bit?" Hotch asked carefully.
