Pausing her actions, she listened to him explain what he had gathered from the case already. She glanced down at her cup, nodding to herself as he recounted details, thoughts, and it let her mind begin to form ideas on the case. Blue eyes, blonde, petite. He had an obvious type... Memorial Day, military widows, obvious torture- sadistic nature, but nothing too outstanding. Nothing new. But at the exact same time- nothing was coming to mind that screamed copy-cat either. He was finding his signature and settled on a few key points.

"Lucian," she raised her eyes to meet his, her calm blue against his tired brown and the corner of her lips raised in a slight hint of a smile. "Ben has it covered, and it won't be a serious issue until they're older and understand the job more anyway." She loosely explained, even though she knew that he ws already aware. When he averted his eyes and continued to speak, she closed the gap between them, reading his body language. His tone was literally saying one thing while his body was trying to be far from her, physical avoidance about having to call them in. It was part of the job, no one should be upset about it. They knew what they were signing up for- and if they didn't then they figured it out after the first trip.

"You made the call. You knew it had to be done, please don't beat yourself up over us losing a little sleep. That's what caffeine is for." Sam teased gently, trying to ease his troubles. "He knows what I do is important, that it keeps him, Jenny and Ben safe. For now that's all he needs to remember. I rather focus on making sure that he can use a toilet by the fall for preschool." She laughed out loud, hoping to break the tension in his mind as he looked down at the file once more. This one might be a tough one for him personally, and she hated seeing him in those tough situations. She may not know every detail about him, but she cared nonetheless.

Sam nodded at his coffee comment, glancing over to the food area of the office before looking over at him again and giving a small audile sigh. He had always been a tough one to crack, and everyone knew he was going to remain that way forever... "Alright, I'm getting myself a cup. You can ponder over my question sir." She arched a brow at him while taking a few steps back towards the coffee pot. It was late, and honestly, she wasn't sure how much he actually wanted to talk right now about whatever was written on his face when she entered the room.

"Will this be a tough one?" She made idle conversation, finding her usual mug by the front of the overhead cabinet and pouring a decent amount, adding the sugar and cream just as she liked. She remained over in that section of the room for a few minutes. If he called the team in at this hour then it had to be a tough case, he didn't want to wait until morning. But where was everyone's sense of urgency if it was so bad then? Sure, she only lived 15 minutes away but even then sometimes she was late.

"Oh, and before it gets too dark when we begin the debrief, Nathaniel wanted me to personally thank you on his behalf for and I quote- "letting mommy spend the day with us outside swimming"." She smiled a little as the brought the mug to her lips. Her son was only three, and he knew that she had an important job and that her boss kept her from home a lot. He made sure to extend a thank you for not calling them in during the day, but she knew he'd be a bit sad because she would have left whilst he was sleeping.

"I'm surprised that this is even happening right now Samantha...." Her mother softly chastised as Sam reread the text from her superior on her phone, glancing at the clock and then at her husband who was walking in from down the hall. He was just checking in on their two young children, looking just as tired as she must have felt after hosting both sides of the family and friends for the annual cookout. To be honest, this year Sam was just glad to be there, and no be on a job this time. She had missed her family terribly and needed this day to recharge and be with her little ones. Nate was so happy to have 'Mommy here all day long' and Jenny was practically attached at her hip, wailing tremendously whenever her mother took her into her arms, or if her siblings managed to steal her away. Typically Jenny loved being with Grandma, Uncle Dom or with her aunties but she must have known that this was a rare occasion to have Mommy home and just wanted to be with her. Sam couldn't wait to at leas tell her teammates about the trials of attempting to eat a meal with a one year old pulling on her shirt of hair. Her lips formed a small smile thinking about it as she half heartedly listened to her mother continue her quiet rant.

"Mom, don't start... Please. Ben understands what's going on, and he rarely protests when I get phone calls at four in the morning. I just make him send pictures of the kids to hold me over until I am back here- back home. I get that you have never understood why I left the firm but that was over a decade ago. Let it go." She sounded tired attempting to explain this once more to her irritated mother. "I'll be in touch okay? Just make sure Genevieve eats her veggies, she's against sweet potatoes right now." Her smile was now a bit sad as she laced her low heeled boots and stood up from the bar stool in her kitchen.

"Be safe, I love you. The kids love you." Ben reassured her, holding her face gently in his hands as he kissed her tenderly, making her smile a bit more- this time in a happier manor.

"I love you too. I'll call when I can." Sam nodded and touched her forehead to his for a few moments before stepping back out of his grasp. Reaching behind her, she grabbed her jacket and at home go bag, giving her family a wave as she left and made her way back to what everyone joked was her second home. Little did they realize just how right they were....

After going through security, Sam made her way up to the team floor and walked in, seeing that Lucian was the only one here- not that it ws surprising or anything. If people thought that she lived there, then he was a permanent resident.

"Happy Memorial Day sir," Sam greeted, taking a good look at his serious and solemn expression as he leaned against her desk, looking at the papers in his hand. "Is there fresh coffee? I have a feeling everyone if going to want some for this one if you sent a late night text like that." She brushed a few stray hairs from her eyes as she walked towards him and placed her go bag on her chair and her keys on the desk. Her eyes darted from his face, to the photographs that she could now see and wow- they were something else. The details displayed on the bodies was shocking, and how they were positioned was going to lead to their signature.

"Lucian... What is it?" She softly asked, bringing her eyes back to look at him before glancing at the door. She ws the first one in, if he had something to say he should say it now before the rest of the team filed in.

A New Generation of Hunters- A Supernatural Adventure

Maggie Winchester

"I am all for a road trip and you know it." She half smiled, taking another big sip from her mug, holding it to her chest as she began to think. Why take the fun out of the job by flying, that was so expensive and they would never be able to harbor the weapons they'd need on a plane! The car would do just fine....

"We can't take what we need on a flight. Yes, it would cut down on time but let's be realistic here. No one can bring anything to protect themselves through TSA. What if something happens in the cabin? We are left to dealing with hand to teeth combat." She sighed, finally bringing the mug down onto the table. "We're driving. We'll round up who we can, but I think we are overdue for a trip to the Pacific Northwest. I can call up the East Coast sector and see if they can start to handle it while we figure out the West." She explained, her mind beginning to organize itself into what needed to be done through their sister sector, and what they could do themselves.

Creating one large, intertwined community across the country was something that she was actively working on- trying to continue what Sam and Dean had started decades ago. It fell apart after Sam dropped off a little, and even more so when he was focusing on Dean and his other children. Maggie decided to pick up the mantle and attempt at the connection one more time- finding it fruitful and beneficial in terms of keeping up to date on numbers, clusters, covens and packs around the country.

Even though DJ did research, he mostly just heard whispers from other groups of hunters in the web, or emails sent through to them. It was always gong to be a behind the scenes work in progress in tandem with what they were coordinating at their own central location.

Samantha Genevieve Stannis

SSA Samantha Stannis; Criminal Profiler


Nicknames:
Sam
Sammie
Stag

─────────────
Before joining the B.A.U., Sam worked with a high stakes frim on Wall Street, acting as their press liaison during the late 90's and early 2000's when she was in her 20's. With a Bachelors degree in communication, she outdid the other candidates to earn the highly coveted position. She then went on to earn her Masters before hearing about a profiler position opening up in the division in 2009. Considering the job market at the time, she jumped on the chance and her years of reading people during press conferences proved to turn the tables in her favor.

When working with the firm, Sam began to teach herself how to read micro-expressions on reporters and clients so she could better shut them down. Every major takeover that she facilitated behind the scenes, she earned a raise and a reputation. When she began to tire of the same old takedown day after day, she began to search for jobs that would take her just far enough away from the city to give her a sense of a new beginning and a family friend in the Bureau told her about a position opening up soon and she applied as soon as it went public.

Two months of interviews, three physical tests and a gun exam later she was hired onto the team where she promptly realized that she was going to have to work far harder than she had expected to prove that she belonged. Now that she has been with the B.A.U. for just over a decade, she is sure that she will not leave until the universe has made it abundantly clear that it was time to move on. Her husband left the F.B.I. so there would be no speculation of playing any kind of favoritism even though they were in different departments, and is not a personal kickboxing coach- using his years of experience.

Background information
Coming from a big family (4 children), Sam learned at a young age to fight for what she wanted and she learned how to win. Learning this skill and creating a trait out of it has accompanied her through many jobs, relationships, and was a huge reason into why her husband wanted to keep her around and share his last name. Her drive, her sarcasm, terrible jokes, and natural maternal nature kept their relationship strong through the scrutiny and trials of dating under wraps at the Bureau. Oh, and the fact that she beat him more than once during a gun range exam with a near perfect score as incredibly impressive. Both times.

Sam was glad to have someone who was capable of getting to know, accept, and love both sides of her life. Her team saw a different side to her than she displayed at home. She tried her best to keep work and personal life separate around the kids, but was unafraid to cry and lean on Ben for emotional support on some of those incredibly tasking, draining, and dangerous cases that she would take with the team.

They were her extended family and she was fully prepared to take a bullet for any one of them if it ever came down to it. Now in her 30's, she knew that she had to live life fully with her team, and with her family in order to feel alive and whole.

Making my sheet right now. Definitely leaning towards a JJ inspired character. Someone who has is a bit of a maternal figure for the group but with some of the sass that Garcia always used to keep things light. :)

BAU, SVU, etc... idea

Incredibly interested- I've watched all seasons of Criminal Minds, Law and Order, and Law and Order SVU. And NCIS! This is 110% up my alley!!
