I do not own any of the characters. I only own the computer I wrote this on.

***********************

Blair Waldorf hated Jack Bass.

The man had taken everything from her. He took her pride, her hope, and Chuck. She told Chuck she was done, but…

Chuck and Blair. Blair and Chuck. They were inevitable, but right now she was just too hurt to do anything but run from him. But how could she run back to him. Jack had called her to gloat. He had taken the company from Chuck- morality clause or something. That, Blair could fix.

She couldn't fix Bart's death, she couldn't fix Jack's betrayal, she couldn't fix what Chuck had done to their relationship, but she could fix this.

Blair picked up her phone and made a few calls.

"Welcome, everyone, to my home." Blair started softly, "I have invited you hear to ask you to reconsider your dismissal of Charles Bass." Blair put up her and as a few members of the board started to protest. "I know what you saw the other day did not inspire much confidence, but I would like to remind you of a few facts."

Blair took a deep breath, "Bart Bass was a great CEO. He was manipulative, stubborn, paranoid, and dedicated. He was also an ass. He was a womanizing chauvinist who barley acknowledged his own son but to criticize him. Chuck learned early on that his father would only notice him if he was bad, and so bad Chuck became."

"Last year, Chuck took over a place called Victoria. He, single handedly, turned it into a monumental success. He is just as good, if not as experienced, as his father. He was going to buy another place, but his father pulled the plug. Bart changed to. Like Chuck, Bart found he was ready to be with one woman, Lily. Lily has two children whom Bart accepted, but protected, nurtured, and loved. He took the time to get to know these children. Then Lily betrayed him. Lily loved him, don't ever think that she didn't, and loves Chuck as if he were she own. Chuck saw this. Bart and Chuck grew together last year, but never learned to trust one another."

Blair paused to take a sip of water and saw that the board of directors was hanging on her every word like children listening to a story. She smiled gently, 'Check and mate.' She thought to herself. "Now let me talk a little about Jack Bass. Jack Bass is a pig. He sleeps around, never the same woman twice, he drinks, and he cheats. He manipulated you. He told me he wanted to apologize to Chuck by throwing him a party, and then sent the eighteen year old tow beautiful women, drugs, and alcohol. Then lied and manipulated Chuck into a compromising situation."

Blair felt tears well up in her eyes as she touched the Erickson Beamon necklace she wore and continued, "I am perfectly aware, that it was his choice, but Chuck trusted Jack to protect him. To act as the legal guardian he was appointed. Lily fought for him, but Jack won. Which makes a person think that Jack cared. He didn't. Bart sent Jack to Australia to keep him away from us. Bart may have been cold and calculation, but he was right. You don't wasn't Jack Bass here. Chuck may be problematic, but he is highly intelligent and a quick learner when he tries. What I am asking is that you give Chuck that chance. It's what Bart wanted."

Blair paused to look each board member in the eye, "And I know that with you guiding him, Chuck can do this. Do this for him. Do this for you." Blair ended.
