Description: It's twenty years later, and the Soul Survivor is finally revealed.

Disclaimer: I only own Malannia and Jocelynn in this chapter.


It is a beautiful sunny day, but for seven certain people who are standing in front of six gravesites; it is a day of sadness and remembrance. One of these people is the Soul Survivor.

Soul Survivor's P.O.V.

Twenty years ago today, my life was forever altered. My team and I were involved in a fatal plane crash. My entire team died, but I was lucky enough to survive. I don't feel lucky though. I feel guilty because it seems like I committed a crime, but I know that it wasn't my fault. They call that "survivor's guilt." The plane had crashed just an hour after takeoff. We were still in Alabama. It was at least forty five minutes until someone had found us.

David Rossi died on the way to the hospital. Internal damage was the result of his death. He was fifty four years old. And he was like a father to me. Penelope Garcia never made it off the operating table. The cause of her death was kidney failure. She was thirty two years old. Garcia was always a happy person. She must have been terrified that day. How can God let a person who is always happy, die a tragic death? Derek Morgan died just moments after help had arrived. He seemed like he was alright at first, but then he just passed out and never regained conscious. There was a hemorrhage in his brain that had gone unnoticed. He was thirty six years old. Morgan never really trusted very many people, but I am very honored to be one the people that he trusted. Aaron Hotchner died about thirty minutes before help arrived. Internal damaged caused his death. He was forty three years old. There were very few times when Hotch would laugh and smile. Those memories will be forever locked inside my mind. Jennifer Jareau Lamontagne died four days after the crash. Much like Rossi and Hotch, she also died from internal damage. She was twenty five years old. I have actually lost JJ twice. The first time was to the Pentagon. And now, I lost her to the plane crash. And Emily Prentiss Hotchner died on impact. I don't know how that was possible because I was talking to her the whole time. The doctors said that I must have been talking to her spirit. If I was talking to Emily's spirit, then I believe that is what saved my life. She had suffered a fatal blow to the left temple of her head. A brief case had smacked into her. And that brief case belonged to Aaron Hotchner. I'm glad Aaron was never able to find out about that because he would have blamed himself for her death. She was thirty nine years old. I never knew much about Prentiss, but I do know that she was a very unique person. She was always willing to take the blame, whenever something would happen.

I have a new team now. And each member of my new team has a connection to each member of my original team. Fifty two year old Technical Analyst Kevin Lynch was the boyfriend of Penelope Garcia. When Kevin had learned of Garcia's death, he was so devastated that he left for three weeks. He chose not to attend her funeral because he said that he was afraid that he would only remember her lying in a casket and that all the other memories would be forgotten. Some might say that it was uncalled of him to not attend her funeral, but everyone has different ways of mourning a loved one's death, and that was Kevin's way. Thirty year old Supervisory Special Agent and Media Liaison Arianna Morgan was the second cousin of Derek Morgan. Arianna or Ari as some like to call her became a member of the B.A.U. three years ago. Morgan was like a second father to her. He would do anything for her. Arianna's biological father had walked out on her and her mother when she was two years old. When Ari had learned of Morgan's death, she ran away from home. The following day, her mom found her three blocks from the house at the local park, sleeping safely under a tree. Forty five year old Supervisor Special Agent William LaMontagne Jr. was the husband of Jennifer Jareau LaMontagne. Before Will met JJ, he was working as a Detective in Louisiana. When they found out that JJ was pregnant with their son, Will quit his job and became a stay at home dad. When JJ died, Will didn't know how he was going to take care of Henry, without a job. All he knew was that he wasn't going to let anyone else raise his son. Two months after JJ's death, Will decided to join the B.A.U. Will's heart nearly broke, each time he had to leave Henry with a babysitter. Henry was the only thing that kept Will from ending his own life. I believe that if Henry had never existed, Will wouldn't be standing here with us today. Twenty two year old Supervisory Special Agent Henry LaMontagne is the son of JJ and Will. Because he was only two years old, Henry never really got the chance to know how great his mother was. And JJ never got the chance to see her son grow up. Every year on special occasions, Will would bring Henry up to JJ's gravesite and they would both sit there and talk to her for hours. They would always bring two dozen roses for her; one dozen white roses and one dozen red roses. Some people believe that there were times when JJ's spirit would visit Henry because there were times when he would be talking to someone, who no one else could see. Maybe it was JJ, and maybe she was checking in on him. Henry is now married to Malannia Hotchner and they have a beautiful two month old daughter named Jennifer Garcia LaMontagne. She's got Henry's blue eyes and Malannia's dark hair. Henry has been working for the B.A.U. for two years now. Twenty Five year old Supervisory Special Agent Jack Hotchner is the son of Aaron Hotchner. When Hotch and Prentiss died, Jack stopped talking for nearly two years. The only person he would talk to was his little sister Malannia. He was also very protective of her. Jack and Malannia didn't get to see each other very much because Haley's sister Jessica was awarded custody of Jack. And Emily's mom Elizabeth was awarded custody of Malannia. Jessica was living in D.C. and Elizabeth was living in California. Aaron's brother Sean, didn't think that it was right to separate Jack and Malannia from each other. He decided to take Elizabeth and Jessica to court and fight for custody for both Jack and Malannia. The custody battle only lasted for six months because both Elizabeth and Jessica realized that what they were doing was wrong. Sean was awarded custody of both children, but he still allows Elizabeth and Jessica to see them. Jack is now married and has two beautiful children. He has a four year old daughter named Emily Brooke Hotchner, and a two year old son named Derek Morgan Hotchner. Both Emily and Derek have light brown eyes and light brown hair. Jack has been working for the B.A.U. for four years now. Twenty year old Supervisory Special Agent Malannia Hotchner LaMontagne is the daughter of Aaron and Emily Hotchner. She is also the sister of Jack Hotchner, and the wife of Henry LaMontagne. Malannia was only four months old when she lost both her parents, but Jack never let her forget them. He would always tell her stories about Aaron and Emily. Malannia loved hearing those stories, and that was the only way Jack could keep Aaron and Emily's memories alive. Malannia joined the B.A.U. six months ago. She isn't an official member yet, right now, she's a trainee. And then there's me, Spencer Reid. Or as many people call me, "The Soul Survivor." I really don't like to be called that. I prefer to be called Spencer or Reid. I was twenty three years old when my family died in that plane crash. A part of me also died. For twenty years now, I have been trying to figure out why the pilot chose that day to end his life, and why he chose to take my family with him. I still haven't figured it out yet, and maybe I never will. I'm married now. My wife's name is Jocelynn. We have been married for seven years now and we have a beautiful son named Rossi David Reid. He looks just like me and today we're going to celebrate his first birthday.

The End
