TEAM WORK
Paring: Brian Finch x reader
Warnings: none
A/N: Just my little contribution to the fandom because we have no fanfiction and we really need some. Or at least I really needed some.
Never did you think you’d be accepted on the secret squad against NZT the FBI had, and yet, somehow an e-mail arrived on your phone that day giving you all the details of the first meeting.
You took a deep breath as the elevator doors opened. And you walked in, seemed like a regular office but, it would be YOUR office from now on. You’d worked private jobs for the police investigations, but you were ready to step up from it.
“Hello!” A nice looking guy approached you “you must be (Y/N), I know you’ve already been accepted in the squad, Rebeca told me that Boyle and herself chose you because of your amazing trajectory, you still need to go through one more filter though.”
“One more filter?” You asked confused, you thought that was it, that you already had the job, apparently, it was all hopes and dreams.
“Exactly! The filmed interview that is,” he took out his phone and started recording “please say your name and why you want to be part of the super secret NZT squad.”
“Well it won’t be super secret if you keep talking about it in the middle of hallways.”
He blinked “Well I guess...” you were sure he’d come up with some answer but Boyle approached you then.
“Finch! Stop messing with the newbie,”
“But she needs to do the interview...”
“Sure she does,” he said condescendingly “but now she has to talk to Naz.”
“She does?” You followed worryingly.
Indeed you did. After talking to Naz and her explaining the delicacy of having Brian in the Team it was time for them to test your abilities. They needed someone that could fool people taking NZT to be able to catch em all’ as you liked to call it. Which was fun because you had already done it.
“Hey Finch! Looking for this?” You said as you approached the squad office, in between two of your fingers you were holding his wallet.
“How did you?” He asked and then went back trying to remember, even then he couldn’t pinpoint when you had taken his wallet. He smiled at the idea of you tricking him. That’s why Rebecca and Boyle had pick you. They knew you were the only one that managed to pickpocket Senador Morra. Of course that had only been once so they wondered whether it had been a talent thing or just some luck.
Then you heard a buzz from your pocket, you grabbed the phone and took a look at the screen. "Oh, it’s just a tweeter notification, here, you can take it back".
"How even? My phone is right here," he pointed at his pocket, he took out what was inside it.
"Almost", you said with a smile, in his hand, he held a perfectly shaped crystal. He handed it to you and you fit it in your bag swiftly. A little grin slightly showing on your face.
“So that’s why they picked you,” he smiled.
You plopped down on the chair in front of his desk, crossing your legs with a cocky attitude growing on you by the second. “What can I say? It’s not just by chance I ended in this office... So, you were talking about some filmed interview?”
“Yes! The filmed interview!” He reached for his phone, finding the same crystal as before “How the...”
You laughed from the other side “I’m sorry” you let out in between chuckles “I wanted to see if I could do it again.”
“I like her,” he pointed at you with his pen as Rebecca entered the room.
She, in turn, rolled her eyes and approached the table “We have a lead.”
Your ears perked at the sound of a possible first mission. “Boyle and I will go check the place, (Y/N) and Brian, I need you to start working together, we will need to confirm whether this person is or isn’t using NZT and for this we will need pickpocketing. There are no second chances, so it needs to be perfect. We know our subject is already paranoid so we can’t risk it. Jason, Darryl, you’re coming with us, we might need backup.”
In a flash everyone was leaving the room, leaving you and Brian alone. “It’s Mike and Ike!” he said before they were all gone.
“So, I guess you’ll find where he stashes his NZT and I’ll be stealing it,” you turned to Brian.
“Yeah, sounds like a plan,” he said almost absently, before opening the small laptop that sat on his desk. He started typing stuff, looking incredibly focused. You even walked beside him and stared at his screen from behind. After around 15 minutes he stopped “shit.”
You stared at the screen trying to figure out what he’d seen. You noticed, he was looking through the cameras of New York and the suspect Rebecca had a lead on had been paid by someone else.
“Thomson’s not the dealer,” you said from behind. “It’s the other man, the one behind him.”
You shared a look and then you walked to find Rebecca but she was gone. “He was heading to the airport,” Brian stated, “he had his passport with him and the subway line he was heading towards connects straight to JFK.”
“They are going to the other side of the city, they won’t make it on time,” You breathed out.
Another shared look between the two of you “let’s go!” You mumbled at the same time. You took the subway and with Brian’s abilities you were on the line before he had arrived.
“He’s coming,” he nodded towards the upcoming train.
You nodded “disappear, it’s my turn.”
He flashed you a smile “it’s on his coat’s right inner pocket” was his only reply before doing as asked, he walked to the other side to pretend like he was waiting for a different line to arrive.
You breathed deeply. As the train stopped and the man got out you acted hurriedly, you accidentally bumped into the man as he got out, huffing your face from his line of sight. You took what you needed and got on the train, swiftly getting out through other doors. As you were getting out you noticed he was already looking for the person that took his things. He knew, he just didn’t know it was you.
Your mind worked faster than it had ever and it came to you, you knew exactly what you had to do. “Babe,” You uttered as you approached Brian like you hadn’t seen him in moths, once close with your arms wrapped around his neck you looked him in the eye “did you see Captain America the Winter Soldier?” You asked. He nodded in response, you hopped it would be enough for him not to freak out. You placed your hands on the back of his neck and pushed him towards you, marking your lips collapse with each other. At first, he was stiff.
He looked straight ahead and that’s when another Brian showed up. He clapped hardly in front of the real one to get his attention. “Kiss her back! Remember, why did Natasha kiss the cap?” The images of the filmed filled his head, the voice of black widow clearly resonating in his mind “public displays of affection make people very uncomfortable”.
Ding ding ding, he knew what has happening, so he followed, giving himself to the kiss, maybe he was enjoying this mission a little too much.
When you stopped kissing the man on the train had gone back to the train thinking that’s where you’d gone. Rebecca and the guys where already on the next stop waiting for him to arrive.
With heavy breathing still and his lips barely far from yours Brian asked “wait a second, if you took his NZT, then how are they going to arrest him?”
“I didn’t take his NZT, I took his wallet and his passport,” You smirked, “The drug is only sitting on a different pocket.”
“You clever girl,” he smirked back and finally pulled away.
