A/N: I changed the title from Sarah vs the Intersect, to Sarah vs the Secret to avoid confusion.

Sarah vs the Hub

Sarah lay sleeping in her bed, Chuck's arms wrapped around her comfortingly. While she slept, Intersect images began to play through her mind. She soon found herself in a circular white room, with one side of the room covered in screens with ever changing images. She looked around, and was equally surprised to see Chuck standing in front of her.

"Chuck!" she called happily, wrapping her arms around him, giving him a hug.

"I'm not Chuck," said "Chuck," as Sarah pulled away.

"What? Who are you?"

"I am your mental projection of the Intersect, taking the form of the person you trust the most," said the faux Chuck.

"What are you talking about? Where am I?" questioned Sarah.

"Your in the Hub of the Intersect's operations: Your Mind.," replied the Intersect.

"What? How?" said Sarah.

"Your dreaming," replied the Intersect, "It's when your conscious mind and subconscious mind are closest, and therefore, when the Intersect is closest to your mind."

"What?" asked Sarah, "I don't recall Chuck saying anything about Intersect dreams. Well, at least, not dreams like this."

"Well, that's probably because your Mind is different than his," said The Intersect.

"What do you mean?"

"Your Mind is different from his, so, so is the Interesect, specifically in three key ways." said the Intersect, "One due to you already having CIA Training, your Intersect is adaptable. Two, Since you already have a great amount of knowledge on CIA Affairs, your Intersect Automatically Updates. Finally, due to no specific reason, you have The Intersect Hub."

"What's the Intersect Hub?" asked Sarah.

"It's this place," explained the Intersect, "Which you can access at any time via a very special flash."

"What can I do here?"

"While your here, your mind operates so fast that a week here will be but a second in real life."

"But what can I do here?"

"Pretty much anything. Besides providing a special, direct link to the Intersect itself, it also allows you to enter a virtual world where you may experience anything you wish!"

"Why?"

"For several reasons. Mainly to allow for a consequence free testing grounds for flashing, but also to give the Intersect's 'host' a way to cool off and relax, in any way they wish."

"Why is my Intersect so different from Chuck and Morgan's? Where did it come from? How did I end up getting it? Did Orion make it? And what does the direct link to the Intersect provide? "

"That's a lot of questions, and all of them will be answered soon," reassured the Intersect, "But, for now, just relax, it's almost time for you to wake up." A red hologram of the time appeared in the air in front of Sarah. The Intersect was right, it was almost time for her to wake up.

"But, I still have so many questions!"

"We'll be in touch soon, don't worry." The image of Chuck began to fade, as did the room.

"Wait! No!" shouted Sarah, but before she knew it, she was lying awake in her bed with Chuck, his arms still wrapped around her.

Using her many spy skills, she, carefully, maneuvered herself out of bed without waking Chuck. She got herself dressed and ready, preparing for yet another freelance mission. Soon after Chuck had awoken, Sarah was already planning to tell Chuck of her dream. As the two sat down for breakfast, Chuck asked the perfect question.

"So, how are you feeling? Any flashes?"

"Um, not exactly."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, it's just, I had a dream."

"What? Like an Intersect Dream?"

"Sort of-"

"I better make you a Governor, here, take one of mine until-"

"No, Chuck, it wasn't like that..."

"Well, then what was it?"

Sarah proceeded to explain her dream to Chuck, telling him about the mental projection, and how it looked like him. She also told him about how it said that her Intersect was different than his, and all about the Intersect Hub.

"I don't remember my dad saying anything about an Intersect Hub," said Chuck.

"You don't think that someone else could have made it, do you?" said Sarah, "I mean, who else could know how?"

"I don't know, Sarah," said Chuck. "Maybe if we could use my Dad's laptop we could see. But the CIA has it, and, even though it's destroyed, the hard drive still works. Or, maybe I could try to refigure the Intersect glasses to remove it from your brain?"

"I'm not sure Chuck," said Sarah, "I'll have to think about it."

"Yeah, okay," said Chuck,

"But, for the time being, we have a mission, so let's get to it!" Said Sarah

"Yes, Ma'am!" said Chuck, saluting Sarah.
