Author's Note: Hey! Thank you for deciding to read my first fanfiction! While you're reading, please bear in mind that this is the first chapter and it will get better. This is a team fic, I am considering a slight Hotchniss and/or Morcia slash. And for this fic, can you do me a massive-humungo favour of imagining elevators bigger than they actually are? (you will understand soon). Thanks! ENJOY!

All mistakes are my own and I do not (much to my dismay), own Criminal Minds. *sigh*

It was a pretty uneventful day at the BAU. Everyone was either finishing reports, finishing consults or getting coffee. It was only Emily and Spencer left in the bullpen after Morgan got promoted to temporary unit chief nearly a year ago when Hotch stepped down to fool Foyet. Even though Emily and Spencer knew Morgan was probably going to stay in his fancy new office, a tiny part of them secretly was hoping that he'd return to the bullpen. The bulpen felt emptier without him, and Reid's stack of reports was certainly lighter because it was harder for Morgan to sneak him some of his folders.

By now it was nearing 8:00pm and it was no surprise that the majority of the BAU team was still at work, oblivious to the fact they were working overtime and the fact that it was pouring it down with snow outside. JJ suddenly bursts into the bulpen with a seriously pissed off look on her face. Emily was the first to notice followed by Reid who spoke up first, "Hey JJ, I thought you were heading home"

"Can't 'cause of the damn road blocks."

"What Road blocks?"

Rossi suddenly appeared on the catwalk whilst putting on his jacket and said, "Haven't you noticed?" Reid gave him a confused look and Rossi smirked and continued,

"Ya know... the whole snow blizzard fiasco going on outside?"

Reid widened his eyes and Rossi gestured toward the window on the other side of the room and Reid turned to look out the window. "Oh my god, I've never seen so much snow!" he said in an excited voice.

Emily sighed "I've never really liked snow." and grabbed her bag and placed it on her desk and begun to rummage through it.

"Why don't you like snow?" Reid essentially screamed out of shock with his eyebrows furrowed together.

Emily looked up and put her hand on her hip and said "You try and live in Italy for three years and you will understand."

"What happened in the snow there Prentiss?" Garcia said in a teasing tone and wiggled her eyebrows. Emily scoffed and lifted her bag on her shoulder and tossed her car keys in her hand.

"Well good luck to you trying to get home tonight, 'cause I'm telling you the road is all blocked up." said JJ whilst putting her phone in her back pocket.

"What it's blocked both ways?!"

"Yep, we're all pretty much screwed, except our resident genius who has the oh-so glamorous choice of taking the metro."

"I like snow" Reid said in a dreamy tone still staring out the window. Everyone laughed and turned when they heard Morgan enter the bullpen and Hotch come out of his office.

"Hey Baby Girl, you ready?" Morgan had offered Garcia a ride to and from work for the week since 'Esther' wasn't up for harsh weather.

"Hey Chocolate God, looks like we're all stuck here 'cause of all the snow outside." Morgan sighed and rolled his head back and looked at the ceiling.

"Well there's no harm in trying, let's go." They all followed and put on their coats. "Hey Pretty Boy, you wanna lift?"

"Urm... Yeah, sure. Thanks!"

They all piled into the elevator and Hotch pushed the ground floor button. The elevator went smoothly and suddenly came to a stop. Everyone exchanged worried glances but gave a sigh of relief when the elevator begun to move again.

"Thank G-" Emily stopped mid-sentence when the elevator made a huge metal clanging noise. The lights flickered off and Reid made a small whimpering noise and clung to someone's arm. He came to realise that it was Hotch's arm and mumbled something like "mghf... uhh... a, uh... a b-bug". He instantly turned beet-red and played with his hands and looked down at the floor.

"Oh what are the chances?" JJ said in a severely pissed off tone.

"Statistically e-" Reid stopped mid-sentence due to the six death glares that were being sent him way. Then he simply fumbled around with the strap of his messenger bag and continued his staring competition with the floor of the broken-down elevator.

Rossi sighed loudly and his painfully tired voice filled the elevator "Great. What do we do now?"

Author's Note: I know it's quite short and kinda crappy at the moment but bear with me! It will get good. I may or may not update later today – I'm not making any promises. Please Review!
