Pedro Pascal Character Imagines

Mi Corazón es Tuyo (Javier Pena)

Summary: The BAU are in Laredo, Texas on a case and an old friend of Kaitlyn's stops by.

A/N - I know Narcos takes place in the late 70′s/early 80′s, but for the purposes of this one-shot, it happened in the early 2000′s. So this is an AU for Narcos and regular for Criminal Minds.

Kaitlyn stared at the crime scene photos pinned to the board, trying to find some connection.

They were in Laredo, Texas chasing a serial arsonist, who also liked to take one victim hostage.

"Careful there, cerebrito (brainiac). I can practically hear the gears turning in your head."

Kaitlyn spun around. Only one person had ever called her that in her life.

"Javi!" she screamed. She ran to him and threw her arms around his neck. Her team watched the interaction between her and this strange man, including Spencer. "Oh my god, what are you doing here?" she asked him.

"I could ask you the same thing. Heard your name around town."

She rolled her eyes. "It's your family's annual get together, isn't it?"

"Um, I'm actually here now. Permanently."

"Oh. Well, how's your father?"

"He's good. He's good."

The two stared at each other for a moment before Javier looked over at her team.

"Are you going to introduce me?" he asked.

Kaitlyn blushed. "Oh! Right!" She led him over to her team. "Guys, this is my good friend Javier Peña. Javi, meet the BAU."

"THE Javier Peña?" Emily asked, "As in the one who helped take down Escobar and the Cali cartel?"

"One in the same," Javier said. He didn't really like to talk about his time in Colombia.

In fact, Kaitlyn avoided the subject altogether.

"How do you know Katy?" Morgan asked, ever the big brother.

"We met when I was down in Colombia," Kaitlyn explained, "I was on vacation and Javi here saved me from being shot. We've stayed in touch ever since."

"You were almost shot?" Spencer asked.

"Uh, yeah. Guess some of the cartel guys heard an FBI agent was down there and decided to try and kill me. You know, the usual stuff." Kaitlyn said it so nonchalantly that it worried Hotch. She did the same thing when it came to close encounters on the job.

Maybe this was where it had originated from.

"Hey, I've gotta be heading back, but I'll see you later okay? We'll catch up," Javier said, "Don't work too hard." He kissed her temple and she playfully shoved him away from her.

"Estúpido (Asshole)," Kaitlyn muttered.

Javier winked at her. "Pero amas cariño (But you love it, sweetheart)."

When Kaitlyn turned back around, her entire team was staring at her. "What? Let's get back to work." She walked back up to the board.

"You didn't think it was a good idea to tell us you have a friend who worked for the DEA?" Hotch asked her, quietly.

"I'm sorry, Hotch. I honestly never thought you guys would meet."

"We'll discuss this later."
