AN: Okay, I've had this Idea for a little bit. This takes place in the future third season (please, NBC?) and is AU if this season does happen. Once again, I don't own Chuck, The A-Team, or any of the characters involved. Have fun and please review.
Chuck vs. The A-Team
Chuck Bartowski was one customer away.
One customer away from going home to an empty apartment, breaking out the good food and wine, inviting Sarah over for dinner, and letting the good times roll. After all, Ellie and Awesome were on their honeymoon, and Sarah and he were eager to let their newly blossomed relationship bloom even further.
He was one customer away. And here came the customer.
The bell rang. Chuck looked up at the man.
"Hello" said the man, "I wondered if…." But Chuck heard nothing else. That familiar feeling of nausea passed over him as the information flashed before him.
And to think he was one customer away…
"What did you just say?!!" barked General Beckman as she slowly rose out of her seat. Chuck had never seen her so intense.
He faltered for a moment but Sarah laid her hand on his leg and rubbed it slowly, trying to calm him down and to focus.
"His…his name was Hannibal" stuttered Chuck slowly. "He was a member of a secret OPS strike force"
Casey grunted, but said nothing else.
Beckman sat back in her chair. "The A-Team" she murmured, "after five whole years"
"General," said Chuck, "I don't understand. What does my flash have to do with an old 80's TV Show?"
"Humph." Casey finally addressed Chuck. "Where do you think Cannell got the idea, dumbass?"
Chuck pondered for a moment. Then his eyes bulged wide. "You're not saying that the A-Team actually exists, right?" he said in shock.
"Ding, Ding, Ding" grunted Casey.
Chuck turned to the General. She nodded.
"The A-Team was originally created in Vietnam in order to carry out secret missions that only the commanding general knew about. After the war, the team was disbanded and the members went about their business. In 1981, Stephen Cannell came to us. He heard stories about these missions from other veterans and wanted to create a show about the squad. Since the team had been disbanded for about a decade, we thought there would be no harm in it. And so…"
"Mr. T became a cultural icon?" Chuck finished.
The General seemed to chuckle a little bit, but hid it well. "Yes, Chuck. However, when we first began to invade Iraq, we reformed the team. In an act of jest they chose to take the names of their television counterparts as their cover names. The team was formed and they entered Iraq. However, in 2004, they were caught trying to abscond with 5 million dollars of Saddam's gold. They claimed they were ordered to by General Petraeus. But Petraeus denied this and no record was found of the mission. And then, right before their trial, they escaped their detention units and disappeared. Once in a while, we've heard of possible sightings in the Los Angeles area, but nothing else. Then, of course, the Intersect and the Bryce Larkin affair came about, and the team was kind of forgotten…Until now."
Chuck sat back, amazed at what he had just heard.
"Mr. Bartowski" said the General, "Your new mission is to find the A-Team and detain them."
AN: Please review. This is my first multi-part story so tell me if you want to continue. Thanks.
