Disclaimer: I don't own either of the franchises that I play with here. I was nice to them and will put them back when I'm done with them.

A/N: This came about because I was watching Person of Interest and went 'wait, doesn't the Machine hack every camera…and JARVIS has cameras all over Tony's houses. Does that mean that the Machine has hacked JARVIS?' Thus, this was born. Also, this is my first time playing with Reese and Finch, so if they sound off, that's why.

You Are Being Watched

Harold Finch sat in his chair in the library typing away on his computer. John Reese bustled around in the background, reorganizing things on the shelves for shits and giggles. Mostly he did it to get a rise out of Finch. A typical morning really.

At least until a cool, British voice shattered the relative quiet. "Good morning Mr. Finch." Both men jumped and Reese reached for his gun. "Now there is no need for that, Mr. Reese," the voice continued.

"Put that away," Finch snapped. "JARVIS, I thought we talked about this.

"Harold, you know this person?" Reese asked, his hand still on his gun after putting it away like he was asked.

Finch glanced at Reese before answering. "Yes. This is JARVIS, Tony Stark's AI."

Reese looked at Finch in surprise. "You know Tony Stark? Wait, what am I saying, of course you do. Billionaire, computer genius, I'm just surprised I didn't think to connect you two earlier," he said dryly.

Finch went to reply but was interrupted by JARVIS. "Sirs, if I may, I was contacted this morning by a mutual friend."

Finch immediately looked at his monitors. "The Machine?" At Reese's confused look, he explained. "When the Machine was acquiring all of the cameras across the country, it tried to hack into JARVIS' systems. JARVIS caught it in the act and instead of destroying the Machine like he's capable of, he got to talking with the Machine. They're friends…of a sort."

"She contacted me this morning at Mr. Stark's Stark Tower because I have a voice, where she does not. She would like me to convey something that she has wanted to tell Mr. Finch and you Mr. Reese for some time."

"She?" Reese asked with a confused frown on his face. He snorted a bit. "Of course the Machine's female. She has all the makings of Daddy's little girl." Finch just shook his head at Reese's antics.

"Please go on JARVIS."

"She contacted me to let the two of you know that she has finally chosen her name. She does not object to being known as 'The Machine' to those that pursue her main objective and to the secondary admin. However, and I quote 'the creator admin Mr. Finch and his asset Mr. Reese should have a name to call me.'" Finch looked rather pleased at that. "Ever since the two of you began working together, she has been running through names that mean something to you. She first tried the names Jessica and Grace but thought that they didn't suit her. She finally decided on a name today. She would now like to be called 'Leila'."

An indescribable look passed over the two men's faces as they heard that. They still missed that little girl every day. Reese had to stop himself from making the journey to where she was living with her grandparents to check up on her. Finch would occasionally catch glimpses of her through the Machine, the same deal as Grace.

Finch let out a shaky breath. "JARVIS, let him know that I'll be coming by. We have some things to talk about," he said warningly.
