The team was allowed to enter the room that contained spencer. The nurses had explained that Spencer was now off the vent but wasn't waking up as easily as they hoped. They filed in a single line and tried to muffle their gasps of surprise. 

Hotch was the only one who had seen Reid so far, so he had forgotten to warn the team to prepare. Reid laid still, the skin around his mouth red and inflamed from the vent. His mouth was chapped and hung slightly open, making his cheeks look more hollow than usual. His hair was shaggy and greasy, the strains sticking to his forehead.

Morgan and JJ sitting down on either side of the bed while Emily claimed the last chair that sat between JJ and the men against the wall. Morgan made sure he was out of the nurses way as she tried again to get a response from Reid.
