This is for a new world for me since I have NEVER tackled a FoLC challenge before and here I am doing one for the Kerths! The television series Person of Interest is no longer in production, but two of its main characters were always interesting to me. Here’s my take on how they would interact (briefly) with Lois and Clark during the episode Madame X.

As always, comments are welcomed.

Took me a minute because I didn't watch the show to much. Nice take on adding the show into the mix and how you wrote them out of the mess.

I like it. Wasn't Joss wrote out of the show after the first season? Great work though, I really liked how you wrote them and how you wrote their mistake.

Vigilante John Reese was famous for trying to get out of situations faster than he got into them. His signature smirk and gentle voice could turn deadly in an instant. Once Joss told him they made a mistake, neither one of them wanted to stick around for the fallout. But since he was contacted by Finch he really wanted them to have a lead as to who was causing the problem.



Detective Joss Carter's character did not leave the series until the middle of season three. Leaving the potential for examining her and John's feelings for each other unexplored. So glad you enjoyed my brief exploration of Person of Interest's characters.

Yay another challenge response!

Interesting take. If only it were that easy to solve the cases, right?

I love it! I never got too into Person of Interest, but I know enough to get around. I feel like if they really were responsible for protecting Lois though, they'd never be able to leave. Love the connection they made to CK=S, and that they kept their own methods secret.

Can't believe this is your first challenge response! Very well done! Now you can't stop writing them... in fact your fic has inspired a little idea in my head that I'm gonna put up on the challenge board... (it's cyclical you see?)

I loved POI and am delighted with your AU of it. Great fun.

Hi Morgana,

I loved your take on the L&C meets Person of Interest. I can easily see Lois' number coming up on 'The Computer', probably often. The problem is that she has a better protector possibly even than Reese. Of course Reese seems to often take the more permanent approach to ridding the subject of the threat than Clark would take. I can see the benefit in that approach sometimes. I guess I never saw the option of John marrying Joss but with them killing off the Joss character when they did kind of short circuited that possibility.

Nice integration of both series!

Yeah, if only! Somehow with their very different way of handling situations it is best Lois and Clark follow up and John and Joss head back to New York City.

Considering the fact that they traveled across time and space to work this number it is best their work methods are kept secret. John and Joss have enough to do without tangling with a superhero and his lady.

Sit down and answer the call to write another challenge? We'll see.

Wow! What a high bar you've set for a first answer to a challenge! Even though I've never seen Person of Interest, I could follow the story. Delightful story and plot untwist.

Hi There! So glad to hear that. John and Joss deserved their own happy ending.

Hello Mike!

If Lois Lane existed in New York City she would probably need John and Joss to protect her a lot! But since Clark is around, Team Machine's services aren't necessary. John's habit of kneecapping the bad guys certainly would not work for either Clark or Lois. Although I have to wonder what Mayson Drake would think of 'The Man in the Suit's' totally unorthodox methods. Although it is unlikely she could catch him - especially with Detective Joss Carter working within the MPD!

Who knows, I might tackle this again someday. But not right now.

Ooh Feedback! Writers love this stuff! Thank you very much.

Hi Morgana!

What did she do? Is this a SL&V adaption?

Oh, Madame Ex.

*tsk tsk tsk*

That’s Dr. Carlin? You’re flipping some things on their ears?

Oh, okay, so what’s going on?

I’m guessing it’s a crossover of some sort? Or a time bureau intervention?

Oh, yeah, okay, I guess that makes more sense now Never seen the show but I may have read the title on TV sites on occasion.

Awww Michael, it is so good to heard from you again! It is important to have watched the TV series Person of Interest in order to understand what's going on.


You are the ONLY one who figured out that time and space has been altered in this story since POI most definitely takes place in the 21st century. Thanks for catching that!

They just knew too much! There had to be a rational explanation.

LOIS: You call time travel *rational*?
CLARK: Have *seen* the stuff he writes? Total lunatic that guy.
