This story is like a whole new idea. I may bring some characters from the story in, but we'll see. If there is anyone you really want, let me know in a review.
I do not own Chuck.
/
Chuck and Sarah are sitting on the couch eating vegetarian pizza without olives. The TV is on, but they aren't really paying attention to it.
"So, what made you want to be with me?" Sarah asks harmlessly.
"Well, Morgan," Chuck shrugs his shoulders.
"Morgan?" She asks in disbelief. "Morgan was able to convince you and I couldn't?"
"Well he is my best friend," Chuck replies with the only answer he could think of. "He showed me that being together only makes us happier and it wouldn't complicate missions because I love you just as much as if we weren't together." Sarah hugs him and gives him a peck on the cheek. She lays her head against his shoulder and just enjoys the company of Chuck while he does the same. They sit in each other's arms for a little while.
"I take it you want to sleep here?" He jokingly asks.
"Only if we get to share your bed," she pouts playfully.
"Come on, it's me," he answers in an obvious tone. She straddles him and starts kissing him passionately. His hands make there way to her bottom and hold her gently. She moans into his mouth contently.

Chuck wakes up in his bed with a mess of blonde hair by his face. He looks at Sarah, who is sleeping peacefully in his arms. He gives her a soft kiss on her forehead and just admires her. She looks so calm and innocent when she sleeps. He softly brushes her hair and comforts her arm. She squeezes a little tighter around him and he grins.
"Chuck?" She asks groggily.
"Yea?" He beams a smile at her as she looks up at him with sleepy eyes.
"I love you," she smiles at him. He brushes some hair out of her face.
"I love you too," he gives her a sweet kiss and tries to get out of bed. Sarah tightens her grip and holds him there. "Sarah…" he warns playfully.
"Lets just stay like this for now. Do you have anything to do today?"
"Nope. You?"
"Nope," she starts rubbing his bare chest with her left hand.
Chuck's phone rings and he looks at Beckman's face staring at him contemplatively. He sighs and answers the phone.
"Yes General?" Chuck asks as Sarah listens while drawing circles on his chest with her finger. "Alright. I'll get everyone ready." He hangs up the phone and looks at Sarah.
"Mission?"
"Yea."
/
The team is waiting in the base as Beckman's face appears. "Good morning team," she says hurriedly as she wants to inform them on their next mission. "Dr. Barnhardt told us he had plans to sell his neurotoxin to Insignia." Beckman waits as Chuck's eyes flutter and he flashes.
"Whoa," he exclaims after the long informational flash. He stumbles as he tries to regain his composure. Sarah immediately helps him stay standing and everyone smirks because they know how much she cares about him and that they are probably together again. "A lot of info to process."
"I know. I need you to stop them," Beckman explains nonchalantly.
"What do you need?" Chuck asks prepared.
"A source tells me that there is a weapon disguised as a sculpture during an art show tomorrow night. I need you to infiltrate the show and flash on any members that may be Insignia."
"We could do that. Sarah and I go as a couple as Carina and Casey go as a couple," Chuck explains and glances back at Casey's disgruntled face.
"Better than being her father," Casey mumbles. Carina just revels in her new mission. It is all she strives for in life.
"That won't be necessary," Beckman explains. Chuck's eyes widen in confusion. "I have a new member to join you on this mission."
"I don't like having new members I can't trust," Chuck angrily objects.
"No love for me?" A voice startles all of them and they all look back to see Bryce Larkin leaning against the wall.
"Bryce? What has your super spy ass been up to?" Chuck smiles and hugs him briefly.
"Just the usual. Kill a few guys, save the world," he answers nonchalantly. Chuck laughs and introduces everyone.
"You remember Sarah, right?"
"How could I forget? The girl who stole your heart," he jokes as he gives Sarah a friendly hug. Sarah smiles at the comment as Chuck just rolls his eyes.
"Carina," Chuck gestures to her. Carina smiles devilishly because she thinks Bryce is hot. Bryce smirks back as they shake hands. "And you know this guy."
"Casey," Bryce smiles as they shake hands. Casey grunts in satisfaction. "I missed the grunts. What was that number twelve?" He asks Chuck jokingly.
"Your grunt language is a little rusty. That would be number sixteen," Chuck jokes and Casey rolls his eyes with another grunt that sounded more like annoyance.
"Now that you're all best friends, lets get on with the mission," Beckman interrupts bitterly. They all look at Beckman, ready to listen. "Carina and Bryce will go as the other couple and Casey; you will be in the van monitoring the team." Chuck looks back quickly and sees what looks like a hint of depression on his face.
"Consider it done." The feed ends and Chuck looks back with a smile on his face. He gets to work with his best friend again and just wants to catch up with him.
/
Everyone is getting ready for the mission at Chuck's house. Bryce and Chuck are putting the finishing touches of their suits on as Sarah and Carina are getting ready in the bathroom. Casey is just relaxing, waiting for everyone to get ready. Chuck puts his tie on and Sarah walks out of the bathroom with a stunning reddish dress that hugs her body perfectly. Her hair is gently held back as a few strands flow freely beside her face.
"How do I look?" She asks softly, looking directly at Chuck. He stares for a few seconds in amazement.
"You look so beautiful," he happily says as he lifts her in his arms. She laughs as he lets her down and smiles brightly at her. Casey and Bryce watch knowing there is something more than just being partners.
"Are they together?" Bryce whispers to Casey.
"Apparently," Casey responds. Carina walks out and smiles at Sarah and looks at everyone.
"Ready to go?" She asks no one in particular.
"Yep," Sarah happily answers while fixing Chuck's tie. Casey just nods and Bryce looks at Carina determined.
/
Chuck and Sarah walk into the ballroom with their arms entwined. Carina and Bryce arrived a few minutes earlier so they wouldn't arouse any suspicion. "You look so beautiful in that," Chuck whispers to her.
"I was hoping you'd like it," she whispers back.
"I love it," he kisses her on the lips.
"Keep it in your pants, Bartowski," Casey orders over the earpiece. Chuck tries to ignore him as he and Sarah walk by Bryce and Carina. They don't show any knowledge of knowing each other as they ignore each other. Chuck's eyes scan all the guests, looking for anyone to flash on. He sits at the bar with Sarah after a little while.
"Any flashes?" She asks softly.
"Nope, nothing," he answers dejectedly. "Are we sure Beckman's source was reliable?"
"I was the source, Chuck," Bryce whispers through his watch into Chuck's earpiece.
"Are you sure your sources were—" Chuck's eyes flutter as he looks at the woman on the far end of the table. "Well, the brunette over there is part of Insignia," he whispers through his watch. "She is actually kind of high up on their family tree of bad guys."
"We need to get closer to her," Casey informs them.
"Oh no," Chuck shakes his head. "I am not going to seduce her."
"It's okay, Chuck," Sarah places her hand on his arm to show she doesn't care.
"I'll do it," Bryce says as Chuck breathes loudly in relief. Bryce and Carina separate to diffuse any remembrance of them being a couple.
"Keep looking," Casey informs Chuck. Chuck gets up and walks with Sarah. He sees a man walk out of the bathroom and flashes again.
"Well, that man right there is another Insignia," he informs them. "He is just a grunt though."
"We need all the intel we can get," Casey explains. "Carina, you need to seduce him."
"On it boss," she jokingly says as she heads for the man. Chuck looks at Sarah and sees a man looking at the statue in question. Chuck wills the guy not to turn around for fear of flashing. The man turns around and Chuck's eyes flutter and he flashes.
"Dammit," he cusses under his breath.
"What?" Sarah asks concerned.
"I just flashed on that guy and now you're going to have to seduce him," he says sadly. "I don't know if I can deal with knowing what you are doing," he confesses desperately.
"Buck up, Nancy," Casey tells Chuck. Chuck looks at Sarah and pleads with his eyes for her to not do it.
"I'm sorry Chuck," she massages his cheek. "I love you," she whispers as she kisses him passionately on the lips. She walks away as Chuck looks dejectedly at her.
Sarah walks up to the statue next to the man. "Beautiful statue, huh?" She asks him without making any eye contact.
"Molto bene," the man answers. "It was made back in Italy during the Renaissance."
"Really?" Sarah asks, actually truly surprised. She comes to the assumption that the statue before her must be a fake if it is actually a weapon.
"Yea," the man answers in awe. "It was made by an unknown Renaissance artist who was rumored to be one of Michelangelo's apprentices."
"I could see the similarities with the statue of David," Sarah says. The man turns to her and his eyebrows raise at her beauty.
"At least there is someone in here who isn't artistically challenged," he jokes as he holds out his hand. Sarah laughs along with it to keep the man interested. "I'm Enrico." She shakes his hand happily.
"I'm Sarah. So, how do you know so much about this statue?" She asks while Chuck watches from a distance. A taste of disgust forms in his mouth as he sees the Italian man shake Sarah's hand.
"I am just intrigued by Renaissance art," Enrico responds.
"They really don't make them like they used to," she sighs as Enrico shares the moment of reminisce. Enrico places his hand gently on Sarah's arm.
"Are you here alone?" Enrico asks sincerely. Chuck narrows his eyes as he watches the hand gently slide slightly up and down her bare arm.
"Nope," she answers slyly. "I'm here with all this fantastic art." She smiles as Enrico laughs lightly.
"I'm a bit of an art collector myself."
"Do you have any pictures of your art?" Sarah asks, faking interest.
"I have them all on my laptop upstairs. Would you like to see?"
"I would love to," she answers with feign excitement. Chuck watches as Enrico's hand finds its way to the small of Sarah's back. Chuck growls inwardly as he follows them to the elevator. Sarah and Enrico wait for the elevator as Chuck casually walks up to the elevator and waits with them, pretending he doesn't know them at all.
"What are you doing, moron?" Casey asks angrily. Chuck ignores Casey's question. Sarah glances at him trying to tell him to get out of there with only her eyes. Chuck smiles and nods his head at Enrico, who nods back with a greater smile. This takes all of Chuck's patience to not attack the guy right then. All three of them head into the elevator. Enrico presses number six.
"What floor, sir?" Enrico asks Chuck.
"Seven," he answers as Enrico presses the button. "Thanks. Lovely art show down there huh?" Sarah rolls her eyes slightly as she holds in her anger.
"Yea, one of my favorites," Enrico responds merrily. The next thirty seconds, they stand in awkward silence as the elevator dings and the doors open. Enrico and Sarah walk out and turn to the right. The doors close and he heads for the next floor.
"Have you lost your mind?" Casey forcefully asks in anger.
"I'm just making sure my team is safe," Chuck answers.
"Are you sure you aren't just worried about your new toy?"
"I care about every member of this team." Chuck's voice slowly raises as the door opens to the seventh floor and he quickly takes the stairs down a floor. He just barely sees Sarah and Enrico walk into his room.
Chuck listens through the door but cannot hear anything. Sarah and Enrico step into the hotel room.
"Make yourself at home," he says as he undoes his tie and lays it on the bed and steps into the bathroom. Sarah immediately holds her CIA bracelet communicator to her mouth.
"What are you doing Chuck?" She whispers angrily.
"I'm just getting your back," He explains.
"I got this. You almost ruined my cover." Right as she said it, Enrico walks back out and Sarah acts comfortable.
"I'm sorry Sarah, but the guy was touching you all over and I got jealous," he confesses wholeheartedly. "I love you so much and it is so hard for me to watch you with someone else. I don't know what I would do without you in my life." Sarah's cheeks start to fluster as a tear forces itself out of her eye. She quickly wipes it away, but it was too late.
"What's wrong?" Enrico asks.
She says in her mind Damn you Chuck. "Nothing, I'm fine," she diffuses any doubts with a smile. Enrico skeptically overlooks her sadness as he pulls up some artwork on his laptop. He flips through the pictures slowly as Sarah feigns interest. Then next picture goes by and then a picture of Bryce and Carina tied up. Sarah steps back in shock and throws a punch at Enrico.
"I have your team," he coldly says as he catches her arm. He talks into the bracelet. "I have your agents. Tell me who you are."
Casey, distracted by Chuck's moronic antics, lost sight of Carina and Bryce. He quickly searches all the security footage of Bryce and Carina and sees that they both were forced by their marks to leave. "Dammit," he curses under his breath. Chuck's eyes widen as he hears the cold voice over the earpiece. Casey quickly checks the GPS locators that Stephen made. They are only a few miles out. Sarah pulls her arm out of Enrico's grasp by kneeing him in the side. She tries a high kick as Enrico dodges it and pulls out a gun. Sarah kicks it away before he could aim and she lunges for the gun. Enrico pulls her back by her hair and she screams in pain. Sarah elbows him in the stomach and his hand releases her hair. He punches her in the mouth and she stumbles back slightly by his power. She tries a leg sweep but he hops over it and punches her in the side.
Chuck can hear the scuffle and panics until the Intersect 2.0 kicks in. "You save Walker. I'll get Larkin and Carina," Casey explains with determination through the earpiece. The punch forces Sarah into a dresser, hurting her back shoulder. She dodges another punch and pushes Enrico's head into a mirror. The mirror cracks as the force slices open his forehead. Blood trickles down as he grabs Sarah and throws her against a wall. She falls down and tries to get up but a kick in her abdomen and lifts her in the air and she lands face down. Just as another kick approaches her abdomen, she rolls to the side, making the kick miss. He tries to stomp down on her, but she kicks his other leg, causing him to fall on his side. She gets up quickly and heads for the gun. Enrico trips her, causing her cheek to collide with the edge of the bed frame.
Chuck finally kicks in the door with the help of the Intersect and sees Sarah's frail, bruised body struggle to get up and Enrico getting up. Chuck runs full speed with his knee striking Enrico in his face with the force of lightning. Enrico is knocked unconscious instantly and Chuck falls to Sarah's side.
"Sarah? Oh my god," he frantically pleas as he holds her in his arms and she reaches her arms around his neck. She looks up at him with a bloody lip and the signs of bruising on her cheek.
"We need to save Bryce and Carina," she tells him, while his hand massages her unharmed cheek.
"Casey's on it. Are you alright?" He asks with concern and love.
"I'm fine," she answers as she tries to smile but falters with the pain coursing from her cheek.
"I'm sorry I almost screwed up your cover. It is just so hard to watch you with another man. I love you too much. It hurts so much—" He confesses with heart and sorrow.
"I will never leave you Chuck. I love you," She pulls him in from his neck and kisses him passionately. He then lifts her up and helps her out of the hotel room, letting a cleanup team to retrieve Enrico. Sarah and Chuck get the whereabouts of Bryce and Carina and meet up with Casey outside the warehouse.

"What do you know about Insignia?" The woman Bryce was supposed to seduce asks coldly.
"Isn't it that TV brand that only Best Buy sells?" He asks jokingly, looking at Carina.
"I think he's right. Nope, yea, that definitely is it," Carina pretends to think about it as they just stall the torture. The woman rolls her eyes in annoyance.
"You think you're so funny. I'd like to see you joke without a partner," The woman holds a knife to Carina's neck, slowly pressing it into her skin.
"Partner?" Bryce laughs. "I have no idea who she is. I met her twenty minutes ago when you took off the blindfold. Hi, I'm Erik. I'm sorry if I don't shake your hand," he jokingly introduces himself as he gestures to his bounds.
"Nice to meet you Erik. I'm Jessica," Carina responds. "I do feel a little hurt that you won't even shake my hand," she jokes.
"Shut up!" The woman yells as she takes the knife away from Carina's neck. There is a slight drip of blood that trails down her neck.
/
"What are we looking at, Casey?" Sarah asks.
"Three men and the woman. We need her alive though," Casey explains.
"How should we do this; guns blazing, stealth?" Chuck asks.
"Stealth if we want her alive," Sarah says.
"Sarah, you alright to fight?" Chuck asks, almost hoping she says no just so she'll be safe.
"I'm fine," she answers as she cocks her gun.
"Chuck and I will take out the men," Casey explains. "Walker, you will arrest the woman."
"Got it," she replies confidently.
"Move out," Casey says. Chuck kisses Sarah on the lips quickly.
"I love you," he whispers as they separate.
/
"I'll ask you again," the woman threatens. "What do you know about Insignia, Bryce?"
"I thought your name was Erik?" Carina asks feigning hurt.
"Shut up and answer my question!" The woman barks at Bryce.
"Well, they are fairly inexpensive and actually great quality," Bryce explains.
"Yea, I bought a TV a year back and that thing is nicer than one of those top of line ones like—" Carina jokingly explains with a smirk on her face.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" The woman loses it and takes a knife and walks towards Bryce with intent to kill. Suddenly, two bullet shots wring through the warehouse and the woman looks back in shock.
"Freeze!" Sarah yells, holding a gun aimed at the woman's head. The woman looks at her.
"Oooo…" The woman cringes slightly. "Looks like someone messed up that pretty face of yours." Sarah's eyes narrow as she squeezes the trigger a little tighter. Chuck and Casey walk into the area with the woman holding her hands up and Sarah focused on her.
"Was shooting them really necessary?" Chuck asks.
"If you learned how to count, nerd, I got two and you got one," Casey smirks.
"A little help here?" Bryce asks.
"Oh yea. Sorry," Chuck says as he unties Bryce as Casey unties Carina. They handcuff the woman and take her into custody.
/
The team gets back where Ellie and Devon are waiting to assess Sarah's injuries as Bryce and Carina were virtually unscathed.
"You called them, didn't you?" Sarah rolls her eyes at Chuck.
"I need to make sure you're okay," he explains while helping her walk although she doesn't need any help.
"I'm fine," she responds as Ellie walks up to them.
"Sarah, what happened?" Ellie frantically asks.
"Just a few bruises; that's all," Sarah acts nonchalantly.
"Let me take a look," Ellie says as she sits Sarah on a chair and examines the bruises. Devon takes a quick look at Carina's cut on her neck and immediately passes it as nothing more than a paper-cut. Sarah lifts her shirt to reveal her bruised abdomen. Chuck's eyes widen as the bruise covers almost forty percent of it.
"Oh my god, Sarah!" He examines it closer and holds her hand. She just laughs at Chuck.
"It's not that bad," she smiles at Chuck as Ellie presses against it slightly to see where it hurts. "Ow!" Sarah shrieks. Ellie looks up at her with a smile on her face.
"It's very superficial. You'll be fine in a day or two. Just keep some ice on it," Ellie explains sincerely. "Now let me see that cheek." Sarah glances over at Chuck in annoyance. Ellie examines it and Sarah doesn't feel any pain. "Must not have been too bad," Ellie comments. "Just some ice and you'll be as good as new."
"Thanks Ellie," Sarah says as she goes to the freezer to grab a couple frozen products to use as ice. Ellie and Chuck talk for a little while.
"So Sarah will be fine, right?" Chuck asks.
"Yea, baby bro. You were so caring. It was so sweet," Ellie laughs. "Are you guys together yet? I know she wants to be with you and you want to be with her."
"Yes we are. It became official a couple days ago." Ellie shrieks loudly in happiness and hugs Chuck.
"Group hug?" Devon says as he joins in. "Awesome…" He exclaims as they all release. "You and Sarah are awesome, bro," he claps Chuck on the shoulder as Sarah comes out from the kitchen holding a steak to her cheek and another to her stomach. She smiles as she sees them talking. "Well you guys be good," Devon says.
"And make sure you ice those bruises," Ellie says to Sarah. Chuck turns around to see her standing there. He takes the steak from her hand and presses it against her cheek gently.
"Goodnight," Chuck says.
"Goodnight," They both reply.
"Thanks for checking on me," Sarah says as Ellie and Devon open the door to leave.
"We were glad to help," Ellie says as they wave and leave. Chuck and Sarah join the team downstairs, who were informing Beckman of what happened during the mission.
"How are you?" Carina asks Sarah.
"I'm fine, just a couple bruises," Sarah responds with a smile.
"It's good to see you're alright, Agent Walker," Beckman says. "Good job on the mission and Agent Larkin will become a temporary member for now." Chuck flashes a smile at Bryce.
"Yes ma'am," Chuck acknowledges Beckman's decision and the feed turns off.
"Just like old times?" Bryce remarks. Chuck nods happily.
"Where are you staying?" Chuck asks him.
"They set me up with a nice hotel room at the Maddison."
"Sweet," Chucks says as he yawns. "Well, it was a long day. I think I'm gonna crash pretty soon. Feel free to stay and watch some TV or something."
"Will do, bro," Bryce says as Chuck and Sarah go upstairs. Bryce turns back at Casey and Carina. "It's nice to work with you again. Thanks for saving us earlier." Casey just grunts. "Are you alright, Carina?" Bryce asks sincerely.
"Yea, I've been through worse," she responds nonchalantly.
"I hope the next mission we go on goes better than this one," he slyly comments.
"Me too," she replies in a seductive tone. Bryce isn't quite sure how to take her tone, but just ignores it.
/
A bit of a long chapter, but I thought it was action packed with some comedy and not too much drama or angst. I hope everyone enjoys Bryce not as a Sarah stealer from Chuck.
Please review with any ideas you may have. Maybe some comical ideas or action ideas. It is quite hard to come up with a new mission each chapter. I have to give props to all the writers and people who make Chuck. If your idea encourages me, I may mention you in the intro of the next chapter… Oooooo! You know you wanna…
