Chuck vs. The New Girl
Chapter 2: Chuck vs. The Asset
Authors Note: Yo home slice's. Just kidding, hey! I'm working on making this a Casey/OC pairing. I always thought that a good opposite pairing attracts. So we have Casey, the aggressive gun loving, nationalistic, strong beefy guy, and Priestly, the older sophisticated lady, who's quiet, likes to read, polite, and likes to laugh.
Priestly looked out the door. The tall, muscle, handsome guy stood there with a plate of mini kish's. Her heart was being faster, and she realized that she was nervous and worried. Big strong guy, door, food, oh and she's in the Witness Protection Program. Oh yeah, that made a good mix. She slowly unlocked the door and opened it.
"Hi?" She asked, her voice barely a whisper. She looked down a little and realized she looked terrible. She had woken up hours ago, however she was still in her pajama's. She managed to finish her book, watch T.V. And finish the plate of brownies. The last of the food in her house for now. She really needed to shop.
"Hi, I'm John Casey. I live diagonal from you in the courtyard." His voice was deep, she closed her eyes for a second.
"I'm L-Leblanc, Priestly Leblanc." She covered up her mistake, almost saying her old name. "I did not mean to sound like James Bond there, sorry. Here, come in." She moved out of the door way. Casey walked in the door and looked around, she motioned to the couch as she shut the door. Her phone going off.
Looking down at her phone, turning red from the ringtone. "Sorry! I have to take it." She said walking into the kitchen.
Leblanc wasn't a spy, Casey could tell that by the way she acted. He caught that she almost said something other then Priestly Leblanc, something that started with an L. When she went into the kitchen, he could hear her talking on the phone.
"Hey Rick. I have someone here in the place with me." Casey smirked, she was trying to be quiet but he could still hear her. "Nono, I know his name, John Casey, he lives practically next door." She paused. "Oh. Okay. Thats great. No it really helps me. Thank you. Oh, and Rick. I almost slipped." Another Pause. "No, I didn't say anything, I almost told him my name... No the birth one..." She paused then they hung up. "I hate this." Casey heard her say as she moved back towards the living room.
Priestly walked back in the living room and attempted her best smile as she sat down on the couch, across from the chair Casey had sat in. "Sorry about that, It was a-" She paused for a moment trying to think of an excuse. "Company that I had an interview with." Casey sort of grunted. "I didn't get it, sadly." She told him. After a moment of silence, Priestly shifts in her seat, hating the awkward pauses in conversation.
"I should probably go." Casey says, standing up. "Welcome to the block." He told her as she walked him to the door. She closed and locked the door behind him and sat down. Her phone going off, not recognizing the number she picks up cautiously.
"Hello." She says into the phone.
"Miss Leblanc?" She recognized the voice as the manager of Buy More, Morgan Grimes.
"Yes, that would be me."
"I'm Morgan Grimes, Manager at Buy More. We where calling to let you know that you got the job at Buy More."
"Oh! Wow! That's great, thank you Mr. Grimes." She said, smiling.
"Please, call me Morgan." He says, then explains that she is coming into work tomorrow, and that the job calls for at least a white button up shirt with a pocket on the chest, where he badge would be held. She thanked him and they hung up.
"General." Casey nodded to the General on his computer. "No weapons, only bugs are ours, she's not a spy."
"Okay Colonel, please send us the video/audio from her place. We would like to know who we are talking about." The General said, the transmission ended and Casey sat down to get started on saving the Audio and Video. Deciding that it could wait till tomorrow, Casey got distracted by a military documentary and then fell asleep after that.
The next morning Priestly was in a white button up tee-shirt, like Morgan had told her. She had her black hair back into a pony tail, her bangs hanging on the sides of her face. To look more professional she wore a knee-length black skirt that did cling to her figure but not much. For a 37 year old, she still had a nice body with some curves. She wore a pair of black high heels, professional looking with stockings on.
She made her way to her car, making sure she locked her door as she left, and hopped into her car making her way to the buy more. Once outside, she took a deep breath and walked inside the Buy More. She manuevered her way to the Nerd Herd desk and looked up at, her neighbor, Chuck.
"Oh! You're Chuck, the one Mr. Grimes told me about. I didn't realize it." Priestly laughed.
"Priestly! Morgan told me he hired you." He raised a brow when she called him Mr. Grimes.
"Uh." Priestly looked at Lester and Jeff as they stared at her. She blushed and looked away from them.
"What do we have here, Chuck?" Lester asked as they moved close to Priestly.
"I'm Priestly." She told them, trying not to run away from their combined creepiness. She moved around the desk and stood by Chuck. "Mr. Bartowski, I think you where going to show me around?" She asked, hinting at him getting them away.
"Wait." Lester moved closer to her. "Don't be shy, I know my beauty is overwhelming, but I really am a down to earth guy."
"I like your chest." Jeff says. Priestly gives Chuck a get-me-out-of-here look and they hurry up.
"Jeff was the creepy balding one, Lester was the weird hair one." Chuck told Priestly as they ran into John Casey. "Hey Casey." Casey replied with a grunt, not looking up.
"Hello Mr. Casey." Priestly looked at him, not realizing he worked at the Buy More too. This got him to look up, raising a brow at her. "Mr. Bartowski was just showing me around." She smiled. He looked at Chuck, who now kind of looked a little nervous. Just then, she saw Sarah come in the store in white tights, an orange tank to and a white jacket, athletic looking. She came over to them and smiled.
"Priestly!" She hugged Chuck around the stomach as Casey rolled his eyes. "I hope you don't mind, but I was going to borrow Chuck and Casey for a moment. Im the only one on duty at the Orange-Orange right now, and I need a couple hands to move some boxes."
"I could help." Priestly offered, but Sarah shook her head. "Have fun you two." She told them and walked off, wondering what to do now she sighed.
As the day wore on she decided that skirts where about one of the worst things she could wear at Buy More. Jeff tried to look up her skirt a few times, Lester kept trying to hit on her. Chuck was gone so she was all on her own. After work she sighed and headed home. Looked like her life was going to be a little different then what it had been before.
As she walked by Casey's house she noticed the door open. She walked over to make sure everything was alright and heard some talking, as she walked away she heard Chuck talking.
"Do you think he can get the intersect out of my head?" He asked.
Priestly let out a somewhat loud scream as she felt her stomach bunch up and she saw a bunch of files in her brain on Chuck. "No no no." She closed her eyes as she heard people moving toward her. She pressed herself against the wall and whispered. "Don't come near me, please." She told whoever was near her, refusing to open her eyes, not wanting to flash. She stopped having flashing, having been hypnotized, but at the word intersect it starts up again.
Someone grabbed her arm and started pulling her, strong hands, kind ofrough. She flinched and started panicking. She opened her eyes seeing Casey dragging her inside. She flashed, realizing he's NSA. She then saw Sarah and flashed again. "Jesus." Priestly closed her eyes again and tried to get out of his grasp.
They went inside, she noticed, and stopped. She heard someone through speakers. "Layna, Layna is that you?" She heard none other then the General's voice. Priestly opened her eyes.
"General? Oh my god." She looked at the others and gave a slight smile.
"Priestly's name is Layna?" Chuck asked.
"Oh God, Oh God. Rick is gunna kill me. I blew my cover in less than three days! Oh God." Priestly bit her bottom lip as she freaked out.
"Whats going on?" Casey asked, staring Priestly down.
"I'll explain." Priestly sighed calming herself down. "Uhh. You know Shaw, right?" She asked and they nodded. "Yeah, you remember how he became an intersect too? Well. I was kidnapped by the Ring after this test I thought was just for fun, online. Anyways, apparently I passed this test to test the intersect. I wasn't the first one, however, I was the only one other then shaw that it worked on. It was insane. I couldn't stop flashing every time I walked through the place, they kept me locked down until I could prove I was with them. The first moment I had I ran to the only people I knew could help me. They took me to the General, who decided it was best if I went into hiding till the Ring was gone. Except, I couldn't get away from them. They eventually had to hypnotize me so I wouldn't flash." She frowned. "I'm safe here, right? Do I have to hide again. I need to call Rick!" She started pacing, talking to the General this time.
"You're safe with this team. You flashed on them. You should know." The General told her. Priestly frowned. "Priestly is working with you now." The General told the team and the transmission ended.
"I'm calling Rick." Priestly said walking outside, as the other three watched her walk out.
"Okay. What just happened?" Chuck asked, Casey shook his head.
"We have another Asset. Lets hope shes not like Chuck." Casey said walking off.
Priestly sat on the edge of the fountain, sighing. She was now part of the team. Rick had told her that he knew they where safe, and thats why they where put there. Priestly however, was not happy with the arrangement. She wanted a normal life, away from the Ring, Fulcrum, Russian Spies, and Spies in general. One where she wont flash on strangers, and friends. Where she wont have to find bugs in her house, which she was holding in her hand.
She noticed Casey standing in his door way. "These are yours, I'm assuming." She said, offering the bugs in her apartment.
"You realize I will just put them back right?" He asked, taking them back.
"I know how this works, Colonel Casey." She told him, leaning back a bit. She was still in her nerd herd outfit. She looked down at her skirt and started laughing.
"What" Casey asked, looking at her like she was weird.
"I would have never thought that so many weird people could work in one place. I mean, no offense, CIA, NSA, working along side Jeff, Lester, and the rest of those guys at Buy More. You have to admit, that is kind of funny." She smiled up at him, and he grunted and walked back inside, leaving her out there alone.
After a few minutes she stood up and began to walk to her appartment, then remembering she still had to grocery shop she sighed and turned around to see Ellie looking at her from her apartment.
"Priestly! Why don't you join us for dinner?" Ellie smiled at her, making her smile back.
"Are you sure I wouldn't be a bother?" Priestly asked, moving close to Ellie and the door.
"The more the merrier-"
"She cooks enough for an audience." Chuck said, smiling from the doorway also.
"Oh! Alright, as long as its fine." Priestly said walking in to join the rather large group of people at the dinner table.
A/N: wow! We find out a lot about Priestly, but what else will we find out in the next chapter. Please Review, otherwise I wont keep this story going. (Why waste time, lol!)
