TITLE: POI fic - Helping Hand
AUTHOR: whomii2
RATING: G
SUMMARY: Addams family crossover #4. Thing comes to visit
Finch was once again too close to an explosion, but this time he sprained his wrist in the fall. Thing was invited to come help out - it could type surprisingly fast one-handed.
Fusco ambled into the library, wondering just what Reese had been up to as the man had been more secretive than usual recently. He was soon flailing about emitting stifled screams as Thing, startled awake from a sound sleep, emulated one of the creatures from Alien and fastened himself onto Fusco’s face.
Carter figured she wasn’t surprised by anything the guys got up to anymore. She just raised an eyebrow when she found Finch playing chess with a severed hand, which was perched atop a small stack of books for a better view of the board. If only John could be so well mannered, it would make her life less stressful.
Reese needed to really sell his undercover identity as a bad guy. Elias’ new goons accepted him without too many questions when they opened his bag and saw Thing playing possum. As John settled in to play cards with the thugs, Thing tied all their shoelaces together under the table before sneaking off to liberate Carter and Fusco. The four of them were easily able to subdue the hapless bad guys (unlike Finch, Thing was a master of the “poke ‘em in the eye” maneuver). The only awkward moment came after the battle was over when Fusco attempted to high-five his diminutive rescuer and nearly batted him out the window.
