TW! Mentions of SA and being taken! You, the favorite member of the whole BAU unit, In all of their eyes, walked into the bullpen. You, a very nurturing and maternal figure for the whole team, had recently been, traumatized; and that’s putting it lightly. You’d been walking around a crime scene without anyone else, had gotten kidnapped by an unsub. 2 weeks of absolute hell. Beaten, Sexually assaulted multiple times a day, it left A mark on you, one that completely altered your brain chemistry, changed your trust of the whole human population, including your team members. You were snappy, flinching, you would get horrible migraines due to a head injury that was still healing. You didn’t joke back with Derek, didn’t smile at Spencer’s quirks, didn’t try and get Hotch to loosen up, hell, Hotch had to try and get YOU to loosen up. You, once the joker and mother duckling of the unit, now Ice cold. You would have flashbacks, atleast 3 or 4 a day, and they were vivid. Flash-forward to now, you sat down at your desk and logged into your computer for the day, not stopping by Penelope’s office like you always did, didn’t stop and grab Rossi’s coffee for him like you used to, JJ and Emily waved, and you ignored them, it was scary for them, watching you become a shadow.

you used to shine like gold, now your indigo
