Prompt: cm_bigbang

Summary: When Emily's old friend, Matthew Benton, is killed, she suspects foul play. She and the team catch the killer, Father Paul Silvano, and have him sent out of the country. But when he tells them they've just made the world a more dangerous place, he's telling the truth. Soon more murders, even stranger ones, are appearing on the BAU's radar, and John Cooley is hanging around a lot more. (AU/tag to 4x17 "Demonology.")
Author's Notes: Thanks to ariestess for the inspiration and beta! Story is full of spoilers for 4x17 "Demonology" and also includes slight, blink-and-you'll-miss-them spoilers for Emily's arc in season 6.
