A/N: I have no illusions there will be a large response to this as it has been a far too long delay since I last posted. Also creating a new crossover category lends itself to the thought there is no demand for it. This should be just a few chapters as I am not planning on rewriting Chuck or Marvel, well ok I am, but it is not as if I own either of those entities.
Chuck vs. Agent 13
Prologue
Train station in Prague
The blonde beauty sprang to the reticent brunette man in a trench coat. After a welcoming kiss which ended far too quickly for the female, she quirked an eyebrow to her partner whose response was to stare at his shoes. Sarah looked down to be disappointed they were not his 'Chuck's' and instead some Italian leather, standard high level spy shoes.
"Chuck, come on let's go. There's so…" 'much I have been waiting to tell you' was left unsaid as Chuck halted her and rambled out a number of halted sentences about the NSA setting up a camp just for him and after he becomes a spy they can be together and finally be the hero all blurred together, swirling around in her mind like listening to some language she had no comprehension in. It ended just as quickly, she could only recall his eyes reaching hers, widening, then becoming the saddest she could remember; just as he was taking a step towards her, he quickly closed his eyes turned around and with shoulders slumped walked away.
She was in a fog until a sudden jolt shook her and she realized she was in their, no her cabin when a brief look in the bathroom mirror informed her she had been crying profusely. She ran cold water over her face until she calmed. Stepping out into the main room she took a deep breath while piecing together how everything went horribly wrong and instead of being in the midst of earth shattering sex with the man she loved she was flummoxed trying to piece together what her next step would be. She knew what the first step needed to be and pulled out the burner phone and dialed the number only a select few people in the world had knowledge of.
"13, I was expecting a call a little later… Sharon, is everything all right?"
A sniffle followed by a guttural, "No, Nick" put the spymaster on high alert and only her, "Stop" halted the Strike squad being sent with Maria Hill leading them. Fury's order to clear the room left a pall over the situation until he spoke again.
"I'm alone, Sarah what happened?" As Sarah told the story she could feel the agitation building in Fury and the giggle he elicited from her after announcing he would send Romanoff to Prague to teach Bartowski a lesson released much of the negative tension. "So they sold him on the spy life and he bought it hook, line, and sinker?"
A loud sigh, followed by a "Yes," brought the conversation to a halt as both were in planning mode.
"Ok, it looks like Sarah Walker is still going to be active… Unless you want to walk away I can have Sarah Walker dead and Sharon Carter back in DC within 36 hours."
"No!" came out immediately, followed by, "Sorry, Nick. That would destroy Chuck… I couldn't do that to him… I love him," the last phrase uttered in a whisper.
The reply of, "Have you told him that," again brought a halt in their conversation. Sarah heard Nick typing on his keyboard before he eventually responded. "Well I'm not sure the other option is going to be a picnic for either of you. Knowing Beckman she is still going to use Castle as your main branch to work out of. It's actually in a decent location and they're still paying for its construction and she is well known for being a cheap ass bit..."
"Nick, stop. What isn't going to be a picnic?"
"Fine, you don't want to know that your other boss owes your actual boss $10 after the Raiders beat up on the Redskins thirty years ago. Can't scrape up a measly ten dollars in thirty years…"
"Nick as someone who has footage of you crying after being beaten up by a girl."
"Hey, you had all your trainees crying at some point… at least I wasn't the one that got popped in the nose the first day of training."
"While Mom only did it that one time, I thought it made the perfect show to the recruits. Now, if it has you stalling it must be an unpleasant plan," Sarah countered.
"Most likely they will bring in their Ring expert, Daniel Shaw…"
"Does he know they are HYDRA?"
"Doubtful, he is on a personal vendetta because he believes the Ring killed his wife. Unfortunately she was turned at some point and eventually made our radar. Ilana Truffaut planted a tracker on her…"
"Wait, Evelyn Shaw? She was Graham's Red Test for me. You know I hate killing unless I have to… If I could have only gotten that out on the platform I'm sure Chuck would be with me right now. Do we know who killed her?"
"No, but it was only a few days after you planted it. Granted it fully sold you to Graham, but we lost a good opportunity to find out anything. However that is the last thing you are going to mention to Shaw because you are going to get close to him. Stop. He is very loose in his plans; although they have a decent success rate they almost always contain some big risks. I think you can ground him a little; plus if Bartowski still has his head up his ass, Shaw is good looking enough to make him jealous."
"Nick," she responded tersely.
"You know what; you still have the better part of a week off from the CIA. Come back and see your mom. You know Peggy will want to take you to Coney Island on the 4th and maybe after that the three of us can come up with a better alternative."
"Thanks Nick. I'll check in, in a few days."
"Try not to do anything too foolish until then Sarah Rogers."
A/N: Like, not like? I am surprised nobody has done this before, or maybe they have on one of the other sites. Again this is not going to be an especially long, drawn out story. It will get the main characters together and in a reasonably settled place. For those not familiar with Chuck I highly suggest it, I'm not sure if it's on Hulu, Netflix, or Prime, but it is worth it. Lastly for those thinking I could possibly have Chuck paired with somebody other than Sarah, tsk tsk. Eliza Doolittle is still being worked on, in fact I will pull chapter 5 up after I post this. Please feel free to review, thanks for reading, and hope you enjoy this.
