A/N: Hey guys. I'm back :) Thanks to everyone that reviewed my previous story. The positive response encouraged me to write a second MULTI-CHAPTER story. This chapter takes place during 4x23 (during the time of Chuck and Sarah's wedding rehearsal dinner). I know. It seems like I'm kinda obsessed with this episode. haha. But the story just popped up in my mind one day.

The story then kinda follows what happens in the show...kinda...and then it goes off on another strand. Morgan DOES NOT get the intersect in my story. DOES NOT. I don't like Morgan with the intersect. It's just not right. I hope they fix it next season. haha.

This story is gonna be about family. I've decided to bring Chuck's dad 'back from the dead'...not really...but yeah. He never died.

There isn't much of Chuck and Sarah in this chapter, but I promise there will be some in the chapters to come. The story is mainly gonna revolve around them after this chapter. I am a HUGE Chuck and Sarah shipper...haha. Just saying. If that further encourages you to read the story in any way. Anyways. Enough of my blabbering. The story. Oh, and I don't own Chuck.

CHUCK VS THE DADS

Chapter 1

Stephen Bartowski watched his computer screen intently, trying to capture every detail of his son's wedding rehearsal dinner. He'd tapped into Casey's surveillance of the courtyard. Although Casey had removed the surveillance cameras in Chuck and Sarah's house when Sarah moved in, he decided to keep the courtyard camera up and running for security reasons.

Stephen relished over all the events that'd happened to him over the past year. Somehow, he'd miraculously survived the Shaw ordeal. Shaw shot him. Then, Shaw took Chuck away. Almost immediately, an anonymous extraction team came in and rescued him. They slowly nurtured him back to health. Then they began asking him to make things for them, on the condition that they would release him once they were satisfied. First, there were the missiles for project Beacon, then the intersect suppression device, and now, the Norseman. Though he enjoyed the challenges it gave him, he didn't know what organization he was working for, let alone the name of the person that in charge of him. He had no idea where he was, and for the first time in his life, he could not break past the security system that had been installed in the building. All he hoped was that the stuff he was making was for the better, and that the organization he was working for would release him soon so he could return to his family. He missed them.

The sound of a key jingling outside the door broke his concentration. He quickly closed all the windows present on his computer screen. The door to his cell opened, and a tall brunette woman entered.

"Are you finished?" She strode towards him with a menacing look.

"Here it is. It's done." Stephen replied and pointed to the device on the end of the table.

She picked up the Norseman and inspected it.

"Can I go now, missus...umm..." Stephen hoped this would be the last device he would have to make for her. He hoped that she would be satisfied, so that he could leave.

"The name's Vivian. Vivian Volkoff."

Stephen's eyes widened. Volkoff. It's a rare name. The only Volkoff I know of is Alexi Volkoff...Hartley's cover...wait...then...she must be Hartley's daughter. He struggled to keep control of his thoughts as they rushed through his head. He could not decide whether she was good or bad. Hartley was a good man, but Alexi was a villain...one greatest villains ever. He finally decided to consider her neutral...for now.

"Yes...Miss Volkoff. Are you satisfied now? May I go?"

"GO." Her reply was a stern one, as she was in the middle setting up the device.

He scurried around the room, gathering everything he thought would be of use to him on his journey home. He did not have any other belongings. He was about to rush out the door her voice stopped him.

"Mr Bartowski. One last thing." Stephen turned around to face Vivian. "Your son Chuck may not be very happy with you. Especially if he finds out that his very own father made the very device that is going to kill his fiancé Sarah Walker in about..." She glances at her watch. "...a minute." She smiles as she presses the activate button on the Norseman device.

Stephen dropped everything he was holding and lunged towards her.

A/N: How was it? This chapter is kinda short...I hope the next chapter will be a little longer. Anyways, please drop me a review :)
