Summary
This is a tag to season 4, episode 20, 'Terra Incognita.' I absolutely love, love, loved this episode and it killed me that we didn't get just a little bit more of the rescue at the end. Here's what I think might have happened. Dialog taken from the episode is in italics.
Finch - to John: "You're missing the point… Some things simply cannot be replaced."

John whump - some Finch whump - Joan and Bear are in this, too.

Summary
This story is set in Season 1 Episode 15 (S1:E15), Blue Code, immediately following Reese's rescue of Detective Fusco from the HR assassin in a wooded area.
After Reese saves Fusco's life (again) in a down-to-the-second rescue, Fusco unexpectedly finds himself returning the favor when Reese collapses from the trauma of the day's events. As Fusco works his way past Reese's defenses so that he can help the solitary vigilante, he finds that the Man in the Suit is far less invincible and cold-blooded than he had thought. Meanwhile, Reese continues to learn about the better side of human nature, and that even the toughest guy sometimes needs a little help from his friends.

Summary
"Harold Finch had missed something, a clue to a threat, which had cost him dearly. And so far he hadn't been able to find out when exactly it all had gone wrong - which was ridiculous in his mind - considering that he had created the most powerful surveillance tool the world had ever seen." - Set in late season two.
