I own nothing.

This is kinda a filler/fluffy chapter(sorry- I wanted to post so this came out)

I need reviews right now to perk me up- they're like double shot expressos to my already sugary black coffee : ]

So I would really appreciate some love- also some help: (see a/n below)

thank you in advance.

Love you guys and what you do.

Garcia looks up nervously from the bull pen's floor. Prentiss, J.J and Rossi crane their necks in interest.

"Who do you think..." Garcia trails as Morgan furrows his brow as he tows an unwilling Reid behind.

Strauss-a.k.a "Little Hitler" crosses her arms in impatience as Morgan and Reid file into her office silently.

"It."Prentiss hisses. Rossi snorts, and J.J smacks her on the arm.

"That's not very nice." J.J reprimands.

"You didn't have to work with her, she...didn't fit." Prentiss' argument withers at the daggers J.J's shooting at her.

The door snaps shut, catching their attentions again- the group shivers.

"Do you think she knows?" Prentiss murmurs.

"Of course she does." Rossi shakes his head in reverence for their fallen comrades.

"Sit." Strauss commands. Reid tremors slightly, as he lowers himself in the seat, Morgan's eyes are nothing but slits as he places a comforting hand on Reid's shoulder before he sinks in his seat as well.

"It has come to my attention that you two are involved...in a romatic relationship...of a sexual nature." her attention snaps directly on them. Reid bristles as she waits for a response.

"That's none of your-" Morgan balks.

She gives him a look. "A yes or no answer will suffice, Agent Morgan." She says.

"Yes, Dr. Reid and I-" Morgan starts, but is shot down.

"You know the rules. The rules are the backbone, the fundamental fibers that hold this organization together." Strauss stresses.

"And if those rules are archaic and unjust?" Reid shoots back. "What rule have we desecrated...the 'no fraternization,' or the better yet, the 'don't ask don't tell' policy. I think that gets under your skin more." Reid leans forward, and Morgan's mouth hangs open at Reid's bluntness.

"Don't you sit there and turn this on me, Dr. Reid. This is about you and your blatant disregard for said policies-"

"What are you going to do- fire us?"Reid scoffs as he straightens in the chair. Morgan's brows

rise in disbelief. "were some of the best at what we do. This- relationship will not impair out work in any way. We are professional and care for our jobs just as much as we care for each other. What's the harm in that?" Reid levels, and her mouth sets in a thin, hard line.

"I will not have my authority undermined."Strauss grits, and Morgan says in a quiet voice-

"Ma'am, we mean no disrespect. Reid and I love what we do, and nothing would ever distract us from that. We are going into this knowing that our lives aren't promised us. This job has brought us closer as team mates, as partners-that's no one's fault. If you want to fire us, fine, but just know that our team is our family. If you mess with one, you've got six others to give you hell.

Do you really want to get on Garcia's bad side?"Morgan's hand unconsciously finds Reid's as he rubs soothing circles in his palm.Strauss' face tightens as she lets out a rushed breathe.

"Why can't you do what you're asked?"

"Because we are not irrational children, but consenting adults who have free will." Reid challenges.

"I do not want to regret this decision. Get out of my sight Dr. Reid and take Morgan with you,before you say something we all will regret."Strauss shoots him a look, and Reid rises from his chair, pulling Morgan beside him.

"Maybe if she played solitare, she would be less anal." Reid huffs a whisper once they're out of earshot. Morgan snorts, reaching to ruffle Reid's hair.

A/N: Who knew Reid had it in him...well, there was the battle of the doctors in "Uncanny Valley'(thank you sexysnake) and Strauss take down in '100'.

This fic has been brought to you today by coffee- let's give Joe a round of applause.

I need some inspiration- I want to write smut- so anyone have suggestions for this story or others- shoot them my way in the REVIEW and I'll write it.

Thank you in advance.
