SUMMARY: Addams family crossover fic #8. The Addamses get a houseguest
NOTE: 10 in 10 challenge fic #5


It just wasn’t in Carter's nature to abandon someone to be killed, even a mob boss like Elias. The problem after rescuing him from his fate was---what to do with him now? He certainly couldn’t be left alone, but finding someone to watch him could present a problem. With HR so embedded in the NYPD it was difficult to know who could be trusted.

Harold's unusual family might just be the answer. Certainly no one would think to look for Elias at the Addam's house.

Elias was a bit bemused when first introduced to Harold's family. The energetic man in the nice suit was a clear influence on Harold's own sartorial style. The elegant woman in black was able to pull off the goth look despite her age. The bald uncle could have been a long lost twin. But the tall stack of hair in a bowler hat was unexpected. (Elias was a bit envious of those long flowing locks)

Hearing out Carter's request, the Addamses were only too happy to oblige. They were particularly delighted when they learned Elias had worked for a number of years as a teacher. They had found it increasingly difficult to find and retain a tutor for Wednesday and Pugsly.

Carter shuddered when she thought about Elias influencing impressionable young minds, but had to admit there was little damage he could do in this particular case.

Indeed, the children and their new captive tutor hit it off famously. Elias was pleased to have such eager and like-minded students, and would have to admit to missing the opportunity to teach just a little.

He also found new chess partners in Thing and Gomez Adams, both of whom presented a challenge with their unorthodox play styles. Thing in particular was a master of the psychological intimidation that often played a part in matches.

Carter found Elias' quick integration into the Addams family a bit disturbing. She was glad she had faith in Finch's moral compass despite his often questionable methods. If Finch and Elias should move from chess buddies to adopted siblings the world could be in trouble.
