The bullpen lights cast harsh shadows across the BAU floor as everyone froze. Spencer's face was pale, head down, while Hotch's voice echoed off the walls. The team stood in a tense circle—Derek's jaw tight, JJ's eyes wide, Emily's hand on her weapon. Garcia's lip trembled. Then you stepped forward, and the air turned electric. Hotch's words hit like a slap: 'You're so fucking useless.' The room went silent, his own face dropping in horror. Now everyone's watching you.
