oh wait the poll!

argh, so I tried to add this to the previous post but LJ didn't like it, so here have a poll.

Since my Person of Interest/Avengers crossover mostly deals with Reese, I was wondering what you all who have some familiarity with both would do with Finch. If you want to play along with my crack brain, because of course you do. :)

[Poll #1850241]

(oops. That option should read "comments" not "comics", but if you want to tell me in comics, I guess I wouldn't complain...*G*)

I'm torn. I think SHIELD would try to recruit him, and keep an eye on him when he turned them down--but I still think he should also build the Machine, except that I don't think SHIELD would let him do that.

see? THIS IS TRICKY.

I kind of assume 9/11 still happened in Avengers'verse (marvelmovieversegamma? whatever), since the WTC doesn't exist. So if that still happened (even if it was by some other terrorist group) I imagine that was one of the things that led to the creation or at least stronger funding for SHIELD plus still provided the impulse for threat detection. and if so, Nathan and Harold may have still been tapped to make it - maybe by Shield itself? Or by the NSA still? But of course, it could also go a very different way since it seems like science is further advanced Over There which would give a bright guy like Harold other paths.

Although since we don't yet know why he's 'dead' and living under a pseudonym maybe he's a refugee from, like, Genosha or some other weirdass Marvel place... (this is where too much familiarity gets me in trouble!)
