This is my first venture into the world of Chuck. I have always thought that Chuck's life was always being guided by an unseen hand. This story is the results.

Washington DC 0800 June 6th 2003 The office of the head of the NSA.

"Hello Diane?"

Diane Bartowski nee Beckman General in the US Air Force now in charge of the NSA was chilled when she heard the voice of her long lost Brother coming from the speaker.

"Hello Stephen. Where are you?"

"I am not where the fulcrum agents thought I was. Too bad that was a good location."

"So I take this is not a social call?"

"Diane you need to use your influence with the CIA. Charles is trying to be recruited."

"What am I supposed to do beg Langston Graham to back off? If I do this what would I get in return."

Stephen pondered while looking at the screen. His sister was such a hard bargainer.

"I will help you with the flaws in the 2.0. I know how to fix them."

Diane leaned back in her seat. The Mighty Orion is offering to assist in the newest creation.

"Of course it will be at my discretion how that help will be made."

Ah thought Diane there is always an angle when dealing with her brother.

"So how will this help appear? Out of thin air?"

"Exactly Diane. Now use your influence, do we have a deal?"

General Diane Beckman crossed her fingers and said, "Deal."

"Great I will be in touch."

Diane Beckman now got on the phone to her secretary to arrange a conference call to Langston Graham the head of CIA.

Langston Graham was finishing up interviewing and debriefing his protege one Sarah Walker His Wild Card Enforcer.

"Ok Sarah you are granted 2 weeks leave. You will meet your new partner in 6 weeks."

Great Thought Sarah a brand new agent fresh off the farm! Why does he stick me with such losers?

Sarah left the office and building looking back over her shoulder. She noticed a new face looking back at her. Sarah's mind cataloged the face as a possible person of interest. She would need to figure out who he was and why was he so interested in her.

Sarah jumped into her 1999 Porsche 911 Turbo Targa Black in color with the top down it was a muggy day for a Summer Day in DC. Sarah had one destination in mind the cool mountains of Virginia. This was her escape from the humid pressure cooker which is DC. Sarah was on the road and heading out of town in record time. At the gas station she spied that same face again observing her.

There is something wrong. Sarah thought. As she approached the person. Getting to the place she spied him. He was gone. No trace existed. Sarah thought that was strange but thought her mind must be playing tricks on her. Boy do I need a vacation! Rock Climbing is just what I need to recharge.

Orion following Sarah had noticed she saw him. Great the cloaking device must not be working correctly. No it is not the device but the person. Interesting. I must learn more about this one Sarah Walker. Orion now disappeared. From view. Later back on the West Coast, He entered the Stanford laboratory of a Friend on Dr. Michael Muller.

"Hi Mike what is happening?"

"Oh hi Stephen nothing much how did the cloak work?"

"Oh it worked fine but the project hologram needs tweaking. Can you get your assistant to work on tightening the parameters?"

"Oh he is gone."

"What do you mean he is gone?"

"He was kicked out 2 days ago. He was caught cheating. He has left in disgrace."

"What?"

Stephen now appears visibly angry and shaken. All my nice Plans ruined!

"Yeah, Too bad he was about to be married too. Seems like his roommate took care of her too."

Bryce what have you done? Stephen thought.

"Ok Mike thanks for the info. I guess I will have to work on this myself."

Stephen now visibly angry called the burner phone to arrange a meeting with Bryce. The Boy who I call my son! How could he betray me like this!

Later in the upper levels of the library annex in a secret room Orion was waiting for Bryce Larkin to appear.

"Ok Bryce spill what did you do?"

"The CIA was not backing off so I stole the tests from Flemming's lab and hid them under Chuck's bed. I know you did not want Chuck to marry Jill so I persuaded her not to bother with a cheat. So I thought you would be happy for me! I took the initiative. That is what you always say!"

Orion thought well I guess there is no harm really done.

"Bryce, you are my son. I do appreciate your initiative. However, I would have preferred to allow Charles some dignity."

"Look Orion, I did what I thought was right. So sue me! I love Chuck more than you would ever know. I would not willingly put him in harms way. He is more than a Brother to me!"

Orion thought yeah it would be that way seeing that Bryce was Gay. Chuck on the other hand was a straight as could be.

"Ok, Bryce I know you did your best. Now you are scheduled to go to the farm in 1 week after getting out you are going to be paired with Sarah Walker. I need to know everything about her. We will communicate the same way as usual. I am proud of you my Son!"

"Thanks Orion!" ,Bryce beamed.

Burbank Ca Casa Bartowski, 1900 7th June.

One Charles "Chuck" Bartowski is dragging the last of his belonging from Stanford to his boyhood apt which he shared with his sister Eleanor. Or Ellie for short. His best friend Morgan Grimes was helping him push boxes through the Morgan Door.

"Ok Chuck this is the last of it!"

"Thanks Morgan" ,Chuck wearily said.

"Cheer up I know everything looks bleak but I am here for you Bud!"

"Thanks Morgan, I can always depend on you."

"Great", the bearded one said, "Is Ellie cooking tonight to welcome you back home?"

"Yeah Morgan she is but do not make a nuisance of yourself!"

"Moi? You must be mistaking me for some other Morgan Grimes. I never make a nuisance out of my self."

"Right Morgan" ,Chuck rolled his eyes at his diminutive friend.

Morgan now left the room while Chuck just sighed

My life is the Pitts! My engagement was broken off, Bryce Larkin my best friend in college accused me of cheating. I got kicked out without graduating. What could be worse No Job, No girl, No Nothing! As Chuck stared at his Tron Poster. It was the one his father gave him after they both watched the movie.
