Title: Baby, You Can Drive My Car
Fandom: Person of Interest
Rating: General
Notes: Early in canon.
Summary: John learns more about Finch with every mission.

Finch likes luxury: shiny laptops, John's suit, the Bentley John's driving.

Finch would rather be behind the wheel: whenever John dances on the clutch and spins the car, Finch grimaces and holds the laptop steady. He can't drive and interfere with traffic signals, so John's got the car and all the silk-smooth acceleration.

Finch isn't precious; he thrusts his computer in front of John's face. The windshield shatters, the laptop takes three bullets and Finch throws it on the back seat.

"I'm afraid it's just us and our wits, Mr Reese."

Finch takes to teamwork like a duck to water.

Notes: Mild spoilers for S5e07 QSO. Song title: Across the Universe
Summary: Root is sending a message to Shaw.

Root doesn't have much time. Whatever message she sends to Shaw has to be short, punchy, unidentifiable to Samaritan, and indisputably from Root. It has to be right and it has to be now. The universe has given Root this chance to make contact. Shaw needs to hear that she's not forgotten.

There's an agent at the studio door. Root taps out her message, remembering Shaw's lips in that last desperate kiss. She's sending Shaw's own words floating back to her. Root's a four-alarm fire in an oil refinery and nothing can stand in her way. She's getting Shaw back.
