A/N: And now it's the start of the season three chapters! Sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been doing double shifts all holidays which has been SO much fun… Anyway, hoping for more regular updates now that things have settled down. Please review!

Bela slowly looks around the room as the bag is removed from her head.

"Agent Carmichael," the burly man in front of her greets.

"Call me Bela," she says, making him laugh. "You have something that belongs to my boss, Yuri. A case, I would like for you to give it to me. Please."

"Ha, you show up with no gun and please?" he asks. "And what, I quiver in fear?"

"We've got a lock on the case, it's in the room with you," Beckman says through the bug in her ear.

"Give me the case, or else," she says.

"Or else what?" he asks, before pulling a gun on her. "Or else I do this!"

"No," Bela says after flashing. "I was thinking something more like this."

She struggles with Yuri briefly before taking the gun from him.

"Ah cool, everybody be cool! Everybody just chill out!" she yells, her gun aimed at Yuri. "Very, very good, everyone on the ground now. Nice and easy. Now Yuri, hand me that case then after that it's perogi time."

"No," he says.

"Shoot him, Bela," Beckman orders. She hesitates, Yuri moving towards her.

"So do it, shoot me," he says.

"Don't mess with me, Yuri," she says.

"Shoot him, now!" Beckman yells, Bela taking a breath before pulling the trigger.

"Oh!" she gasps, Yuri doubling over in pain. "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

"Bela, the others," Beckman reminds her, Bela glancing at them before biting her lip.

"Sorry," she apologises before shooting them all and grabbing the case.

"You hesitated," Beckman says as Bela joins her outside.

"I just, I know how much it hurts to be shot... it really hurts," she mutters, handing the agents surrounding her all the equipment she had from the simulation.

"Then would you prefer you got shot as opposed to whoever you're fighting?" she asks.

"No," she mumbles.

"Isabela, relax, you did fine," she says, resting a hand on her shoulder.

"I did?" she asks.

"You did, we're done with your training and you will return to Burbank first thing in the morning," she informs her. "There's a mission that Agent Casey and Agent Walker will need your assistance with."

"Alright," she nods, smiling as Beckman leaves.

"Hey," Casey says, resting a hand on her back as he leads her away from the others.

"Casey!" she grins, pulling him to her as she presses her lips against his.

"Congratulations," he chuckles, pulling back.

"I passed," she sighs, resting her head against his shoulder. "I passed."

"You passed," he smiles, kissing the top of her head. "Ready to go home?"

"And see Chuck? Of course!" she beams. "I can't wait to start working with him."

"Yeah," he says slowly. "About that."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Bela asks, pushing past Casey.

"You weren't exactly having the easiest time the past few months Bela," he growls. "I was looking out for you and you only."

"I was fixed," she says, turning to him. "You fixed me months ago. We got married months ago. Chuck has been miserable this whole time while we've been so freaking happy."

"You're my wife," he says, causing her to freeze. "I wanted you to stay happy."

"You know I'm telling Chuck, right?" she asks. "About the wedding."

"I'm surprised you haven't already," he shrugs.

"Yeah, well, this is something I want to tell him in person," she says, watching Casey frown as he glances at the surveillance cameras. "What is it?"

"Looks like your reunion is happening sooner rather than later," he mutters, making his way up the stairs of castle.

"What?" she asks, turning to look at the surveillance before grinning.

"Hurry it up, we have to finish packing," Casey says, Chuck following him back down the stairs.

"What's been happening in the..." he starts, stopping when he sees Bela.

"Hi," she smiles, leaning against the table.

He lets out a breath before closing the space between them, pulling her into a tight hug.

"I've missed you," he mutters into her hair before pulling back. "Bells, I haven't seen you since... since..."

"I know," she nods, staring up at him. "After you left, Casey and I... we had a lot to deal with, and then we took a couple weeks to regroup before starting my training."

"Your training," he nods, staring at his feet.

"I heard," she says. "I'm so sorry, Chuck."

"Did you...?"

"I... passed," she says.

"Oh," he nods. "You're a spy."

"Well, I don't think it's official yet," she says.

"We're working on it, she's as good as ready," Casey interrupts. "We have to go soon."

"Congratulations," Chuck says.

"Look, Casey only just told me about what happened to you," she explains. "When I talk to Beckman again I'm going to get her to give you another chance. But this look you've got going for you really isn't doing you any favours, Chuck."

"Bells-"

"You've done so much for me, just let me help you for once," she smiles.

"Tick tock," Casey says.

"Casey!" she growls.

"For better or worse, sweetheart," Casey reminds her.

"What?" Chuck asks, glancing between the two as Bela glares at Casey. "What does he...?"

"There's more," she says, resting her left hand on his. He stares down at it, his eyes widening as he sees the ring. "Casey and I got married..."

"That's not funny," he deadpans.

"It's not a joke," she says. "Chuck, I need you to be okay with this."

"Wh-wh-why would you-what-I don't-" he stutters, shaking his head.

"Chuck," she smiles, shaking her head. "It's okay."

"This is not okay! Are you insane! What deluded part of your mind thinks that this is okay!" he yells, her smile vanishing.

"I thought-"

"What? Bells don't even say that you thought I'd be happy for you. You're married to-to-I can't believe this," he says, ignoring Casey as he watches the two. "Because the last time I saw you... Bells, I've never seen you like that before."

"I know," she says, her voice breaking as she remembers. "And you weren't there."

"That's not fair," he sighs.

"You weren't! You left, Chuck. And Casey was the one to pick up the pieces after Bryce… not you."

"So what, you marry him because of it? That's ridiculous!"

"You know that I… have… f-you know how I feel, okay?" she says, swiping at the tears sliding down her cheeks. "You know how I feel about him."

"Don't say that, how could I-"

"Because of Sarah," she whispers. "The way you feel about Sarah, is how I feel about him Chuck."

He stares at her, his eyes not leaving hers for a second until he once again closes the space between them.

"Are you happy?" he asks into her hair. She sniffs, turning her head slightly.

"I've never been happier," she whispers, glancing at Casey who clears his throat as their eyes meet.

Chuck sighs, his arms growing tighter around her.

"As long as you're happy, I'm happy for you," he whispers.

"Thank you," she smiles, the two parting as Casey joins the two.

"Bela," he says, resting his hand on her back.

"I know," she nods.

"Hey Casey, bit cheap with the ring don't you think?" Chuck jokes, nodding at Bela's hand. "I'm just saying, it's more something Morgan would've picked out."

Bela laughs at this, pressing a hand to Casey's chest.

"I love the ring," Bela explains, Chuck glancing at the folder behind her.

"Hey, you guys going on a mission? You need backup, I can still flash," he says.

"Hmph, not what I heard," Casey says, Bela hitting him in the arm.

"Come on Casey, please! Beckman canned me, alright man?" he says. "I need to prove to her that I can still do this, that I can still be a spy."

"Can ya?" Casey asks.

"Yes I can," he says. "And this will work, too. Because if I help you guys then maybe Beckman puts the old team back together."

"And all my dreams come true," Casey says.

"I think it's a good idea," Bela says.

"Thank you," Chuck says, glancing over Casey's shoulder at the computer.

"Of course she's gonna say that," he says, turning around. "What?"

"I'm heading out," Chuck sighs. "Enjoy your spy game thing and stay in touch."

"Ass," Bela growls at Casey.

"Hey," he calls after Chuck. "What happened between you and Walker?"

"Something I need to fix," he says before making his way up the stairs.

"No," Casey says, grabbing Bela's arm as she begins to follow. "We have a mission."

"But-" she starts before he kisses her.

"No," he says when they pull apart.

"Ass," she repeats.

"Why'd you knock him out?" Casey asks, watching Bela press an ice pack against Chuck's cheek.

"It was a slap," Sarah says.

"Lemon's got a glass jaw," he says.

"I was caught off guard on an empty stomach, okay? I didn't eat anything, I can take a punch," Chuck says.

"You were slapped," Casey repeats.

"Give him a break," Bela defends as Chuck stands up.

"I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry guys, I didn't mean to screw anything up I just came here to help," he explains. "Things went wrong in Prague, I don't know why but I know that I can do this. I can be a spy. Sarah, you know I can please?"

"Get him out of here," she says, leaving.

"You heard the girl, get out of here."

"Casey, wait," he says. "I can help you."

"Bartowski it's a simple courier exchange. Gilles, the guy with Walker is the mark," Casey explains. "He's meeting with a major Ring operative tonight."

"The Ring, they killed Bryce," Chuck says, Bela leaving the room.

"The moment the ring courier meets with Gilles, we strike," Casey continues. "Now get out of here before you spook Javier."

"Who?"

"The courier, Javier Cruze," he says before leaving.

He makes his way back to the bar, joining Bela as she pours a drink.

"Alright?" he asks, referring to her hasty exit.

She nods, flashing him a quick smile before turning back to the job.

She sets the drink on the bar before glancing up at the stage, turning to Casey to see if he'd noticed. He had.

"Hola," Chuck greets from the stage, taking the guitar out.

"He's gonna blow the whole op," Casey says into his watch.

"Just give him a second," Sarah and Bela say at the same time, Casey shooting Bela a look at this.

Bela and Chuck grin at each other across the room before he glances down at the guitar, Bela realising he'd flashed.

"Where the hell'd he learn that?" Casey asks as he begins to play.

"Assassin," Chuck says, the two trying to read his lips. "Assassin!"

"Where?" Casey asks, Chuck shrugging.

"I'll scan the room, see if I flash on anyone," Bela says, making her way out onto the floor.

She turns and glares at Casey as a tranq dart is fired at Chuck, barely missing him and hitting the piano player instead.

"Sarah!" Chuck yells, leaping off the stage on top of her.

"Don't move, don't you move!" the room full of agents yell, everyone with a gun trained on Chuck.

"Chuck what the hell are you doing!" Sarah growls.

"There's an assassin here," he explains, the two getting to their feet. "There's an assassin here, people! He was gonna kill her, he's gonna kill you!"

"Where? Where is he!" she yells. "Half this club is undercover, Chuck!"

"We've been planning this for months, good thing we brought this many agents 'cause I'm gonna kill you," Casey growls, a group of agents holding him back as he tries to get to Chuck.

"Casey!" Sarah warns.

"Sarah, I flashed, I swear to you there was an assassin here, it was Javier!" he explains.

"Now we'll never know," she says. "You don't work anymore Chuck, it's over!"

"Bela," Casey says, grabbing her arm.

She glances at him before turning back.

"What did you flash on?" she asks.

"Don't waste your time, he just wants back in and is gonna say anything to try and make this happen," he says. "Let's go."

"If he flashed and I didn't, I need to know why!" she yells and he sighs, releasing her. "Chuck, what did you flash on?"

"His name, Javier's name," he says.

"But I read the files, I've heard his name, I never flashed," she says worried.

"All I know is Casey said Javier Cruze and I... Bells?" Chuck asks, watching her. "Did you just-"

"Now that's just-" Casey starts, watching the two. "I said his name constantly in front of you as did Sarah, even Beckman."

"Did you ever say it in one sentence, or was it just Javier?" Chuck asks.

"Just Javier," Bela whispers.

"This is why you need me!" he says, glancing between the two.

"Casey-" Bela starts.

"We're leaving," he says, his hand on her back. "Bartowski I suggest you do the same."

"Bells," Chuck grins as she joins Morgan and him in the Buy More. "What are you doing-"

"Bela!" Morgan interrupts, pulling her into a hug. "Where have you been, I haven't seen you for months!"

"She got-"

"Sick of Burbank," Bela says, interrupting Chuck. "I took a little vacation, nothing life changing happened and I'm still the same me."

"Wow, that's... quite boring actually, Chuck I'm gonna throw this stuff in the Herder," he says, making his way outside.

"You're not telling people you're married?" Chuck asks.

"No..." she says, shaking her head. "Not yet."

"So, you're all packed?" he asks.

"Nearly," she says. "Casey and Sarah are still packing up castle, I snuck off to come see you."

"He's gonna be pissed," he laughs.

"I don't care," she smiles. "Come on, I thought we could hang out tonight since... we won't be doing a lot of that anytime soon."

He pulls her into a hug, kissing her hair before pulling back.

"Chuck!" she yells as Javier knocks Chuck out.

"And I owed you that," he says to his unconscious form before turning to Bela, her hands raised.

"Walker, any sign of Bela?" Casey asks, shutting his phone after getting no answer. "Walker?"

"She went to talk to Chuck," she says. "She wanted to say goodbye."

"I specifically told her not to leave," he growls, making his way to the surveillance cameras.

"They're best friends," she sighs, moving to his side. "They've known each other longer than they've known us, let them say goodbye."

He frowns, the Buy More empty as he flicks through the surveillance.

"You've got to be kidding me," he says, the two looking at the dead body of Emmett in the loading bay before turning to the agent behind him. "I want a real time satellite trace on every car that's been in the Buy More parking lot the last six hours; do it, get a chopper ready!"

"Sir, on whose authority?" he asks.

"Mine," Casey growls. "The Colonel."

"Come on Chuck, you can do this just one flash of kung fu and we are out of here," he says, pacing his cell before sitting down. "I'm dead, I'm so completely dead!"

"Chuck! Chuck, can you hear me?" Bela calls from the next room.

"Bela?" he asks.

"I can't get out of here," she says, glancing around her own cell. "Javier won't come in here, I can't flash on him to get me out, you have to do it."

"Bells, you know I can't," he says. "Casey and Sarah are right, I'm a lemon."

"Chuck, you can do this," she encourages. "Just... don't freak out."

He stands up as Javier unlocks his cell, moving towards him.

"When I'm done with you, I'm gonna deal with her," he threatens. "The girl."

Chuck takes a deep breath, staring at Javier as he flashes.

"Me first," Chuck says, blocking Javier's fist before punching him in the face, knocking him to the ground.

"Chuck? What happened?" Bela asks.

"Something... awesome," he says, before taking the keys out of Javier's pocket, also picking up the flashing device next to him.

He quickly moves to Bela's cell and unlocks it, the two making their way to the roof.

"Where are we?" he asks.

She looks around, frowning.

"Mexico," she answers, the two ducking as Javier's men fire at them. "Neither of us have a gun, we need to get off this roof."

Chuck looks around, flashing on the wire next to them.

"What are you doing?" she asks as he unbuckles his belt, pulling it off and slipping it over the wire.

"Zip line," he explains.

"Okay," she nods, wrapping her arms around him as they slide down the line.

"I can't believe that worked!" he says once they're on their feet.

"I don't think it did," Bela says, looking around as Javier's men surround them.

She bites her lip, shutting her eyes as Javier aims his gun at the two.

"Bells," Chuck says, pulling her to the ground as a helicopter starts firing at the men.

"Come on," he says, taking her hand as they rush towards it, dodging the crossfire.

"Move, move, move!" Casey yells as they climb in the back. "Let's go!"

"Javier Cruze was a vital operative to the Ring's Mexican syndicate," Beckman informs the four. "The device you picked up is a custom smart phone for Ring operative, this is the first one we have ever captured."

"Hey," Chuck says. "Good job Team Bartowski-Tiernan."

"General, Agent Walker and Agent Tiernan and I will be departing for Lisben tonight, there's been chatter that another Ring cell is operating there," Casey says.

"That won't be necessary," she says.

"Why not?" he asks.

"I can't believe I'm about to say this."

"Say it," both Chuck and Bela say. "We mean... please say it."

"I am putting Operation Bartowski-Tiernan back into the field," Beckman says.

"Yes!" they grin.

"Casey, Sarah, you will work alongside the two to bring down the ring," she explains. "That is all."

"Yeah, this is great, come on guys, the four of us, the old gang back together again," Chuck says. "I cannot wait, hey what's our new covers going to be, because I need a new job, can it be something exciting? Race car driver? Hmm? It's gotta be something cool."

"Oh wow," Chuck says as Bela and Casey walk with him into the Buy More. "I can't believe you got us these jobs back so quickly."

"Yeah, well, with no manager the paper work was easy to push through," Casey explains.

"So Emmett really took a Large Mart job in Anchorage?" Bela asks.

"That's the rumour," he says.

"Good for him," Chuck says. "Oh, also, thanks for doing me that extra favour."

"What?" Casey asks.

"I speak of the bearded one," he says, nodding at Morgan.

"We're back," Morgan grins, Lester and Jeff following him over.

"No!" Lester yells, staring at Bela.

"What?" she asks, Casey staring between the two confused. "You're not happy that I'm back?"

"You're-you're-" he stutters, staring at her wide eyed. "You're married!"

She laughs, holding up her hand.

"Yes!" she says, shaking her head at him in disbelief. "What's the problem?"

"You're married!" Morgan asks. "To who!"

"Morgan," Chuck says, nodding at Casey. "Seriously."

"Oh, right of course," he nods. "Well congrats, that's-that's great. That you're married. To John Casey."

"Why is everyone being so weird?" she asks, turning to Chuck.

"You forgot about when you first started here?" he asks. "You were the last person anyone would expect to get married. Ever."

"Yeah, well, things change," she says, turning to Casey. "People change."

"We get to train against each other?" Bela grins, pulling on her gloves. "Awesome."

"What? No, not awesome, what if I hurt you?" Chuck asks, shaking his head. "No, I won't do this."

"You will, now," Casey growls.

"Afraid I'm gonna kick your ass?" Bela asks, grinning at Chuck.

"Fine, but if I hurt you, remember you asked for it," he says, pulling on his gloves.

"Don't worry, she can take it," Casey says, nodding at the two.

"Kicked his ass," she says, smirking at Chuck.

"I let 'er win," he says, ignoring her snort. "Ready?"

"No," Chuck says, Bela grinning as she moves towards him.

"Just think... this can be payback for all those times I called you drunk, got you to pick me up, talked to you about my one night stands-aha!" she laughs as he swings at her.

"Don't remind me," he says, dodging her fist. "Maybe now you'll settle down."

"We'll see," she teases before glancing at Casey. "I'm kidding."

He shakes his head before wincing as Chuck hits her right in the jaw.

"Eyes on the prize, sweetheart!" he yells. "Don't let your guard down!"

"You're gonna pay for that," she laughs, kicking Chuck in the side.

"Yeah," he pants, landing on his back as she sweeps his legs out from under him.

"Ha!" she grins triumphantly.

"I forgot you used to train in college," Chuck groans, staring up at her.

"And you were afraid you'd hurt me," she grins, gasping as Casey pulls her to her feet.

"The straddling is not so cute when you're doing it to someone else," he says, ignoring her laughter as he inspects her jaw.

"I'm fine," she says, rolling her eyes.

"Glad you are," Chuck says, still on the ground.

"Pfft," she says, helping him up. "Lightweight."

"You have an advantage!" he protests.

"We both have intersects in our heads, Chuckles, don't make excuses," she says, the two removing their gloves.

"Yeah, yeah," he says, making his way out.

"We're gonna head home, are you coming?" she asks, leaning against the door.

"Got something to do, I'll meet you there," Casey says.

"Okay," she nods, quickly turning to follow Chuck.

"Thought you would've joined me," Bela says, walking into the bedroom. Casey looks up, smirking at the towel wrapped around her.

"Just got home," he says and she frowns.

"Took your time."

"Yeah, well, I got something for you," he says, walking over to her.

"I bet you do," she snorts, looping her thumbs in his pants.

"No," he says, taking her hands in his before sliding off the novelty ring.

"Casey..." she whispers, staring down at its replacement. "Oh my god."

"Got sick of the jokes," he says, frowning at her silence. "If you don't like it-"

She cuts him off, pressing her lips firmly against his.

"I love it," she grins, staring down at her hand. "Oh my god. This is…"

She shakes her head, continuing to stare down at her hand in amazement.

He stares at her uncomfortably, scratching the back of his neck before reaching forward.

"Whoops," he smirks, her towel falling to the ground.

She grins, her attention returning to him as her hands work fast on his belt, his pants soon falling to the floor before she pushes him back on the bed.

He growls low in his throat as she climbs on top of him, pressing her hips against his.

He pulls her toward him, his lips touching her neck before she grinds against him, his teeth softly biting her shoulder.

She pulls back, moving to sit fully on top of him as he slides his hands up her thighs, not taking his eyes off of her as she stares down at him.

She swallows hard before rolling her head back, and he watches the sweat beads form on her chest before his eyes close in pleasure, his grip on her tightening as he finishes.

He feels her shift before she kisses him desperately, riding out the last waves of pleasure before collapsing on top of him. She grins as he blows her hair out of his face, gently moving her head to the side.

They both catch their breath, her fingers lazily tracing designs on his chest before she glances at her ring.

"Remind me to thank Sarah," she says and he frowns.

"For what?" he asks.

"Picking out the ring," she smirks and he sighs. "I like that you asked her, I know that wouldn't have been easy."

"Shut it," he mutters against her skin.

"Make me," she whispers, laughing as he growls before flipping her onto her back.
