(no subject)
Title: Kryptonite
Part 14
Summary: crossover with x-men. Logan helps the BAU solve a case involving kidnapped mutants. Trouble arises when it turns out that Reid and he are no strangers.
Pairing: Morgan/Reid slash
A/N: This is kinda short, sorry. I want to get on with this story but I always so, so many other things, and I don't really know what else to include…it's tough. Obviously Victor will have to get his part but apart from that I'm clueless.
Is there anything in particular you'd like to see? More Morgan/Reid scenes, more flash backs, more stuff about Logan and Reid?
So if you're planning on reviewing this, give me a little hint while you're at it, alright? Thanks ever so much!

Reid stared out the car window glumly, watching as the countryside rushed past them in green and brown blurs. The silence in the car was deafening after three hours but he refused to be the first to break it.
Meanwhile, Hotch was still driving, refusing to switch places. From time to time he looked through the back view mirror, giving Reid a dark, borderline accusing glance.
Reid pretended not to notice.
Three hours ago he had come to the conclusion that it was too much of a risk to bring Morgan along on their quest and asked his boss to just drive and leave their colleague back at Quantico for his own safety.
To his utter dismay, both Hotch and Logan had flat-out refused to go along with that plan, stoically waiting till Morgan had come back to the car, no matter how much and how desperately Reid had pleaded with them.
Once Morgan was in the car of course Reid had been forced to drop the subject unless he wanted the other man to suspect something and have a third person glaring daggers at him.
Reid sighed heavily, crossing his arms in front of his chest as he sank deeper into the seat. He just didn't get why they hadn't listened to him.
Sure, it made sense for Hotch to want some backup, what with him still not fully trusting Logan and all -but at least Logan should have been up for it considering how little he liked Morgan.
But no, he too had merely shaken his head, telling him that he would regret just leaving Morgan on the roadside without a word. He hadn't gone into detail, but Reid had heard the implied in case something happens and it's the last time you see each other clearly.
Reid gritted his teeth, annoyed with everybody deciding for him these days. Yes, both of them were probably right in a way -but he still didn't want Morgan anywhere near danger.
He could feel the black agent´s eyes glued to the side of his face, unmoving for the better part of an hour now, but he refused to let him know he´d noticed.
He knew Morgan was irritated with the sudden change in climate -Reid not speaking to any one of them had reduced their conversation subjects to short questions between him and Hotch about their duration of the trip and their plans once they arrived.
Logan didn't seem to mind being ignored as much as being cooped up in a stuffy car instead of a motorcycle but he didn't complain, clearly hell-bent on staying as close to them as possible.
Five hours into the trip, Reid finally gave up his sulking, realizing there was just no point with two stoics like Hotch and Logan.
"What if John doesn't know anything?" he broke the silence, question directed at Logan.
He thought he heard Hotch sigh in relief.
"Then we find Fred or Bolt." Logan replied casually, like he hadn't noticed the five hour gap in the conversation, "They're not as safe, but still better than that fuck-up Wilson or Zero. Maybe they´ll even help us fight the organization."
"Do you think that's likely?" Hotch threw in, eyes still on the street.
Logan shrugged.
"Last time I saw them they were still working for Stryker. John and Bolt were as miserable as I but I wouldn't expect too much. On the off chance that they are working with Victor they might have a message from him and we´ll know what exactly he wants."
"If they don't kill us before, you mean." Morgan grumbled. It sounded sarcastic, like he expected Logan to contradict him.
"Right."
Logan didn't bat an eyelash before nodding. After that it was silent again for a long moment, Morgan swallowing hard.
"Well, if they can't tell us about Victor they might at least know something about the abducted mutants, right?" he asked eventually, reminding Reid that they still had a case to solve.
"I guess," Logan shrugged, not trying to hide that he wasn't particularly interest in that.
After another two hours they finally stopped in a rundown part of the town they were in, driving into the parking lot in front of a rundown old gym.
Hotch killed the engine, getting his gun ready just in case. Morgan and Reid did the same while Logan opened the car door, trying to listen for any suspicious sounds in his surroundings.
"There's someone inside." he concluded after a moment, getting out. He stuck his head back inside the car, "I'll go check it out first, you wait here."
He was looking at Reid warningly as he said it, but the other two assumed they were being addressed as well.
"Wait, Logan-" Reid started protesting but Logan had already vanished in a blur, leaving them alone in the parking lot.
Reid cursed in annoyance as he struggled with his seat belt and got out of the car. A couple of decades of living alone had all but made him forget how aggravating Logan could be sometimes, but it was all coming back to him rather quickly now.
The other two quickly followed his example and got out after him - if only to keep him from running after Logan.
"Right," Reid hissed, even though Logan couldn't hear him anymore, "because when was this ever a democracy? Everybody gets to sacrifice themselves for me, but gods forbid I step out of my golden cage!"
He barely resisted the temptation of stomping his foot in his anger, sure that Hotch and Morgan were already irritated enough by his uncharacteristic behavior.
He knew he shouldn't act this way but he just couldn't help it. Being treated like a kid by his colleagues was one thing, annoying but forgivable -but Logan knew that he was over a hundred and fifty years old and that he could very well look after himself. He scowled, getting out his gun.
"Reid-" Hotch scolded him warningly but the agent wasn't listening.
"No, Hotch," Reid ignored his boss´ warning, "I'm not just going to wait here. If there really is danger we´re too much of a target out here, we might as well secure the premise, make sure Logan didn't miss anyone."
He didn't wait for the other two to answer, already making his way over to the side of the building, quickly taking cover as he looked around for anything suspicious. Behind him he could hear Morgan and Hotch´s subdued voices, apparently arguing about what to do.
He rolled his eyes and ignored them, wondering quietly if Logan was talking to John inside. He hadn't seen any of the old team in two decades but once they had been like family. It was hard to even consider they would try to harm or betray them. Still, all his years in the FBI had taught him that anyone was capable of evil…
Reid quickly made his way over to an adjacent building which looked like an old storage unit. He peeked inside the dark and empty space, about to move on when he thought he heard a noise.
He froze instantly, crouching down. The other two were too far away and if he called out for them he might give himself away, so instead he carefully pushed the door open further, investigating on his own.
He was about to step into the storage room when suddenly there was a movement behind him. A presence right behind him, coming out of nowhere.
Heart skipping a beat, Reid whirled around, gun at the ready. He froze in mid-motion, eyes widening in recognition as he stared at the man that had appeared out of thin air.
"Well, if it isn't little Jonah.", the man grinned down at him, eyes gleaming, "long time no see."
He took an uninhibited step into Reid´s space, blocking his view on the premise with his broad frame. Not that Hotch and Morgan were anywhere in sight anyway...
"Why the gun, kiddo? Don't you know that someone could get hurt with that?"

Alright, who wants to guess who this is?
How about you guys write me some nice reviews with your speculations and I´ll update once someone gets it right?
