Epilogue


One year later...


Morgan sat at his desk, cracking his knuckles and looking at a text on his phone. Had a gr8 time last nite...how about round 2 2nite? Xx . He chuckled to himself and flipped his phone shut. He heard Prentiss coming out of Hotch's office, laughing and talking in a quiet voice to her boss.


She sauntered over to her desk, winking at Morgan as she did.


"...So basically, he realises that it was his son who had travelled back in time and fathered himself, with his mother! But technically, that level of incest would mess his genes up a lot, and he would probably never even be capable of inventing a time machine in the first place! Ridiculous, right?" Reid's voice could be heard across the bullpen and he excitedly followed Garcia and JJ, babbling about his new sci-fi obsession with a child-like excitement in his face. He dropped his satchel down on his desk, ignoring Morgan's raised eye brow.


"It's the latest Serbian time travel film," JJ offered as an explanation, "in case you were wondering."


"I can honestly say I wasn't," Morgan said, laughing at his younger male colleague.


"It's stunning, we should all go see it. Anyone free tonight?" Reid asked, his voice rising hopefully as he looked around at his friend's faces.


"I'm in, brainy-pants," Garcia chirped, mussing Reid's hair, "Any chance to forget about the latest thing on the internet forums..."


"Alright, pretty boy, I'll come," Morgan sighed, feigning reluctance, "Place'd better be packed with smart PYT's though, man..."


"Me and Hotch will come too,"Prentiss said, just as Hotch approached.


"What's that?" he asked, and when he saw Reid's huge smile, he said, "Oh, Emily, you didn't..."


"Sorry,but I am frankly, really interested in a...Serbian film..." Prentiss looked around for help, " about...travelling?"


"Time travel!" Reid interjected, holding up a hand as if eagerly answering a question in class.


"Yeah, I'll come!" JJ said happily as she saw Rossi walking over from the corner of her eye, "And you'll come along, right Rossi?"


Rossi raised his head and looked at everyone with raised eyebrows, "What?"


"That's a yes," Laughed JJ.


Spencer Reid happily looked around at the faces of all his friends, his safety net, his family. It had been 6 years since Tobias Hankel and 1 year since Peter Douglas, and Reid felt fine.
