Summary: Sarah gets the Intersect. What could possibly go wrong?
Sarah vs the Intersect
"Quick and Easy," thought Sarah. That's how this mission was supposed to go. It had gone as planned so far; no complications. Chuck had deactivated the surveillance, and Casey was taking care of the guards. Now it was up to her to crawl through the vents, enter the high-security room, and retrieve the CIA package.
"Be careful, Sarah," said Chuck over the earpiece, "I can't tell what's in that room...there might be lots of security."
"I'll be careful, Chuck," said Sarah.
"Yeah, and if you need saving, I can always unload a can of Intersect whoop-ass!" said Morgan.
"Morgan..." groaned Chuck.
"Sorry Chuck."
Ever since Morgan had accidentally uploaded the Intersect, an upload that had been meant for Chuck, things hadn't been the same for Team Bartowski. Morgan would often show up at inopportune times, and deliver a beating that was, all to often, unnecessary. Chuck had been able to re-upload the Intersect, however, thanks to the reusable nature of the glasses. They were currently locked away in the deepest recesses of Castle, which had been fully remodeled.
Sarah found herself directly over the vent door of the room. She opened the vent, and lifted it up, off the hinges. She carefully placed it down, and attached a wire to it to keep it from falling. She also attached a line from her waist to the side of the vent, and began to slowly lower herself into the room.
The room was dimly light, but there appeared to be no guards. The walls were painted white, and the room appeared completely empty.
"Okay, I'm in," said Sarah, "The room is clear, there doesn't seem to be anything in here."
"Have a look around, we have to be sure," said Casey. Sarah agreed.
She gently lowered herself onto the floor of the room, and detached the wire. As she took a step forward, so noticed that the floors were also white. Suddenly, the lights activated, and the room was flooded with bright light.
"Aggh," Groaned Sarah, shielding her eyes, and taking a step backwards. She felt her foot push down on something, like a pressure plate, and the room began to darken again. Sarah stood, bewildered, as the room began buzz. Suddenly, the room was flooded with color, as the walls lite up. Each section of the wall became a small screen, and the word "Activate?" was sprawled across each one.
"Activate?" asked Sarah aloud. The room mistook her question for a command, and an upload bar appeared, and instantly filled. The screens became filled with various images, thousands of them, just flashing across the screen. No two screens held the same two images at a time. Sarah felt her mind become flooded with information, and she was barely able to stabilize herself. She could hear Chuck calling her name through the earpiece, but it was just a fuzzy sound to her mind. She tried to close her eyes, but found that they forced themselves open. She just felt her mind go blank, as the images flowed into her memory.
Just as soon suddenly as the images had appeared, they faded. The room went dark once more, and the lights reactivated. Sarah stood, dazed, for a moment, before falling over backwards, passing out.
"Sarah!" Cried Chuck's voice through Sarah's earpiece. She slowly awoke, a pulsating headache rocketing through her head.
"Ow," she said, rubbing her temples. Faded outlines of the images still remained in her vision.
"Sarah, are you okay? What's happening in there?" asked Chuck.
"I'm okay, Chuck," replied Sarah, groaning.
"Oh my God, Sarah! Thank God, you had me worried for a moment. What's happening in there?" said Chuck.
"Well...um...I'm not sure exactly," said Sarah, "It's a white room, with screens all over the walls, and there was images, lots and lots of images..."
"What?" called Chuck, "Was it painful?"
"No, not really," responded Sarah, "But I have a splitting headache, and I can still see a bunch of images..."
"Oh my God, I think you have an Intersect!" said Chuck.
"What?" asked Sarah, "How? I can't...but you...what?"
"You have an Intersect," said Chuck.
"How is that possible?" questioned Sarah.
"Alright, just calm down," said Chuck, "I need to see you to make sure. Can you get here?"
"Yeah, it's just a headache, Chuck," said Sarah.
"Are you sure? Me or Morgan, or even Casey can-"
"I'm fine, Chuck, I'll be there in a moment,"
"Okay, but be careful. I Love You," said Chuck.
"I Love You, too." replied Sarah, calmly.
"Me? An Intersect?..."
Sarah made her way into the van where Chuck was waiting
"SARAH!" He shouted, wrapping his arms around her, "Are you okay?" asked Chuck.
"Calm down Chuck," said, "I'm fine."
"Okay, I have an idea to test if you're an Intersect," said Chuck, pressing a few buttons on the van's computer, "Here, take a look at this..." said Chuck, turning towards Sarah. A strange, blue, pound symbol was on the computer's monitor. Less than a nano-second later, Sarah felt her eyes flicker.

Sarah felt herself tip backwards, but she caught herself. "Whoa!" she said.
"What did you see?" asked Chuck.
"I saw...the Intersect...well...sort of...the data wasn't complete..." said Sarah, "Wait, did I just Flash?"
"Yes, Sarah," sad Chuck, "Welcome to my world."
