Back in Castle Chuck, Charles, and Orion sat in the meeting area just waiting. Chuck was a bundle of nerves getting in and out of his chair, worried about Sarah. Charles just gave a small smile as he remembered that Chuck's action reminded him of when he was that age. Orion to his benefit just looked quietly at both men, trying to fathom that what he saw was his current son, and the man his son was to become. Secretly he was proud that Charles represented what his son was to become down the road. More confident, strong, yet the father figure that his leaving all those years ago he was not to his current son. Plus his grandchildren were amazing by any stretch of the imagination. His four grandchildren were happy, healthy and left him happy. But at the same time saddened, that the Intersect was still affecting his family so far in the future.
"Chuck you need to relax! " Charles spoke to his younger self.
"How can I relax, I am worried about Sarah, I mean agent Walker." He corrected himself.
"Chuck you love her, I get that." Charles spoke knowingly.
"We're partners, I am just her Asset." Huck quickly replied.
"Chuck you are such a terrible liar, you know that. Plus you know I have lived your life, I know everything you are feeling and can be 100% certain that you are not just an asset to Sarah. I went through the same things with my Sarah. She did love me right from the beginning but she fought her own feelings for me for the job. But guess what Chuck!"
"What?" Chuck replied.
"In the end Chuck, after all the worry, pain and doubt, Sarah's heart won the war!" Charles said with conviction.
"You will find Chuck that your Sarah is a lot like my own, so very stubborn yet the most amazing woman we have ever met. She is an Enigma, plus he walls she put up took years to place. But you my friend have been breaking down those walls from the moment you both met. She loves you Chuck and always will, give her time and just love her with all your heart and be strong for the both of you. Because once she realizes the truth she will be at your side forever, and winning the heart of one Agent Walker will be worth the battle!"
A smile overtook Chuck's face as he realized that Charles was being a friend who spoke from his own experience with his Sarah Bartowski.
"Can I ask you something Charles?"
"Sure Chuck ask away!"
"How did I change so much to become you in the future. "Chuck stated.
"Well to answer your questions, since I know you have a flurry of them for me, It happened because of one lovely and enigmatic Agent Sarah Walker. I was very much like you, uncertain, and my confidence shot to hell because of the issues in my life. Between our parents leaving at such a young age, Bryce, Jill, Stanford, we had lost our confidence but lost our direction. Sure having Ellie, Awesome, and Morgan helped but we were a mess. Then getting thrown in a rabbit hole because f Bryce yet again could have really screwed us up, if not for the one thing that saved us. The one common denominator Chuck, the heart and love of one Agent Sarah Walker. She helped to make us both who we are today. She took our broken pieces and put us back together stronger than before. Then when we both finally realized that we were both soulmates and had a love for each other which transcended the ages we finally gave in to our hearts. It was our brains that screw things up Chuck, but our hearts was the key. Just love her Chuck, even if you feel she is pushing you away, just love her and when she finally comes around you will be amazed that it was worth the wait. "
Suddenly Chuck and Orion saw the Charles appeared to be flashing, and then a small smile appeared on Charles face.
"Are you okay?" Both men asking him at once.
"It's okay , I was just getting updated by the kids , they are on their way here and my Sarah is coming momentarily with your Sarah Chuck, But my wife just told me to get an extra plate ready , we have a visitor for dinner coming."
Charles saw the questioning look from the other 2 men, and smiling "So sorry I did mention that my wife and I, as well as the kids share a mental link of sorts. We can communicate telepathically over our link."
Orion appeared flabbergasted at what he was hearing, he never though his work would be used to benefit his family and that they would give the fantastic abilities.
"I can see that you find it amazing and it is. Dad your initial intersect was just information based, but later on skills were added to enhance its abilities. But the real discovery were made once Ellie and I joined our talents together. Ellie tackled the neurology side of the issue while I worked on the programing side. As you know normally the human brain accesses only 10 % of its total brain capacity, however this Intersect works to increase that to higher levels. Our I.Q's are off the charts, your grandchildren have an I.Q. higher than 1,000 each and Sarah and I have a combines I.Q. exceeding 6,000. So the total brain power together is well over 10,000. Even the fastest and most powerful supercomputers could not catch up to the Bartowski clan. Your work Dad helped to push us to the next levels of evolution. Not only increased brain capacity, and knowledge, but also increased abilities as well. Teleportation, telepathy, energy manipulation, increased strength and stamina. But Chuck I need to ask you a favor, I am slowly dying and even though I am ok for now I know the truth, so does my Sarah. I need you to protect and watch over our children when the time comes. OK?" Charles spoke solemnly to Chuck.
Suddenly the area around them seemed to glow and a bright glow like the sun began to emanate in front of them. Chuck and his father were amazed at the display and both turned to Charles. "Welcome back honey I missed you! "Charles spoke to one of the three women he had appeared just milliseconds earlier. Everyone just stood amazed as Mrs. Sarah Bartowski sashayed towards her husband grabbed his face and planted the most passionate and erotic kiss on her husband's lips.
"I missed you too lover!" she replied with a gleaming passion very evident in her eyes.
To say that everyone was at a loss for words would have been putting it mildly, Chuck looked at Sarah Walker that made her blush because she knew what he was thinking. But more importantly was that she was thinking that exact thing as well.
General Beckman could only look astounded at both couples, a younger Chuck and Sarah, and the older version of them/. What she was not prepared for was when Casey arrived with the four offspring of Mr. and Mrs. Bartowski. If one could have seen the look of 'you're shitting me!' on the face of one General Diane Beckman, it was priceless.
Charles turned to the group after leaving his wife's arms. He greeted his children, and sat everyone down. Standing at the head of the table he spoke as his wife held his hand to help him focus. Charles introduced his children to the General watching her reaction intensely. "Everyone, a storm has come that threatens us all now and in the future. We will need everyone to help fight this evil, and we will have to all operate trusting everyone here completely. But before we fight we need to cast the shadow of doubt that will threaten to undermine us. We will all have no secrets, no lies between us." Charles spoke.
Sarah B., continued her husband's words, "General, Casey you both need to understand that Chuck and Sarah Walker love each other and you cannot interfere with the natural progression of their feelings for one another. Chuck, Sarah you need to fight for that love for each other. Do not let anyone or anything come between you. You can see that that love will produce four beautiful offspring. Plus don't let the General here intimidate either one of you especially with a 49B threat, overcome it, fight for it both of you."
Chuck faced both General Beckman and John Casey, "Now both of you Chuck and Sarah need to know the truth about a certain incident."
General Beckman tried to deflect but Charles stood firm," Diane remember what I said no lies, no secrets. Do you want my wife and I to tell them or will you do the honorable thing?"
Chuck and Sarah looked at each other, confused but at the same time dreading what was coming. John Casey spoke finally and addressed the General. "General the time has come to face our demons and speak without fear."
General Beckman looked at Casey and acknowledged his look and finally spoke. "Sarah, Chuck I made a rash decision and gave an order I soon regretted. When the cypher was recovered the Beta- Intersect was to come online and I and Graham ordered chuck's termination. I gave the order for Major Casey to carry out the order, but the order was never carried out because the Beta-Intersect blew up killing Graham. "
Sarah could only gasp as she held Chucks hand remembering that night of their date. Had she been a minute later she would have found Chuck dead in his apartment. Tears of anger and frustration filled Sarah Walkers face at how her bosses nearly killed the only man she had ever truly loved.
Chuck was both shocked and angered by this revelation took Sarah's hand pulling her close to him and his tears escaped his face. His fears that they had thought so little of him even though he went above and beyond to help them fight Fulcrum.
Casey could only look at both his partners angry at himself and the powers that be, not to see the value of the man. He for the first time gave into those lady feelings he so richly tried to avoid and slammed his fist on the table.
The four children could only look on at the betrayal and frustration but knew that this had to be revealed so that healing could occur. Jerimiah linked to his three sisters "Guys! Please be wary, I see the look on younger mom's eyes and she is totally pissed. Be ready in case she goes all Wildcard Enforcer on Uncle Casey and Auntie Diane. The three girls looked at their brother and smiled slightly acknowledging that they were ready if younger mom went all Dep-Con 4 on everyone.
