A/N: You know I just can't leave this universe alone. Done on my own, no beta. Ch 2, The Date.

Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck, Shazam, Fawcett comics, dating or Molly.

Chuck followed Sarah and the kids out of the theater, a confused look on his face. "I'm not sure how I feel about that actor being both Flynn Rider and Shazam," Molly said, looking up at her dad. "I mean you look more like Flynn now then he does."

Sarah put her arm around Chuck's shoulders. "I prefer you over him anyway." Chuck gave her a sad smile. "Hey, what's wrong? Listen, honey, that suit…I'm sure it was all padding. It's not like physical appearance is everything." Chuck turned slowly towards her, seeing the grin on her face. "I love you just the way you are."

"Yeah, but you drooled a bit over him," Chuck muttered.

She leaned in close. "But, I'll drool more over you in a little while." Chuck brightened from that. He looked over at Molly and Jerry who looked very uncomfortable. "Doesn't look good, does it?" Chuck shook his head.

A few months later, Sarah sent Molly upstairs to get ready, as soon as she was out of sight, Sarah gave everyone a look and told them they needed to meet in the living room and be quiet.

"How do you do that?" Chuck asked.

"How do I do what?" Sarah replied.

"Make grown-ups cower like children and do what you say?"

"Because my look scares people," Sarah replied, shrugging.

Chuck shook his head. "Doesn't scare me."

"Don't make me take sexy time away to prove a point."

"Suddenly I'm terrified," Chuck said, his face never changing and sounding a bit drool. Sarah shook her head, patted his cheek, and walked into the living room.

"Okay, everyone, here is the plan," Sarah began. I will be taking her and meeting her date at the Starbucks a few streets over."

"Why?" Casey snarled.

"Casey, we don't have time to go into your feelings on coffee, what I need from ALL OF YOU," she said, scanning the room. "Is to stay away from Starbucks, got it?" A hand went up. "Yes, Jerry?"

"Why am I in the room?" Jerry asked.

"Why aren't you taking her out?" Casey asked, an eyebrow raised.

"Apparently we aren't making a connection right now," Jerry replied. Most of the adults look uncomfortable.

"Why are you here?" Sarah asked.

"I was working with Molly on homework and you told everyone to come in here, and it scared me," Jerry admitted. Sarah turned to Chuck and beamed, but it fell from her face when she saw his face.

"Come on, Buddy," Chuck said. "Let's get you out of here."

}o{

"Chuck, what are we doing?" Jerry asked.

"I'm waiting to see how many of them show up to Starbucks and case the joint," Chuck admitted, grinning. "There's Casey now."

"Won't Miss Sarah yell at Casey?" Jerry asked.

"He likes to live on the edge," Chuck admitted. He paused and looked over at Jerry. "It's got to be hard to try and date someone with that much family sticking their nose in every time you turn around."

"Yeah," Jerry admitted. "I mean, has anyone told Casey we're only 13?"

"Oh, he's aware," Chuck replied. "Do you know how many teen pregnancy videos he's made me watch?" Jerry's eyes got wide. "Tell me about it," Chuck muttered. He put the car in drive and drove a few blocks over to a local, independent coffee shop. He parked, they got out, and got a table.

"You didn't have to do this Mr. Chuck," Jerry said.

"Jerry, you have been around the family long enough where it's okay to call me Chuck." Jerry grinned at him. "Nervous?"

"I am, but I'm not," Jerry replied. Chuck gave him a look. "I mean….since we were little she's told me how things are going to be, and now…now she's realized that sometimes just because you say something doesn't mean it's going to happen."

"She lives in a house full of people who love her, she has family that loves her, she's very protected, and no one wants to see her hurt," Chuck began. "That's not an apology, it's an explanation." Jerry nodded. "You saw them, they don't trust anyone."

"I get it," Jerry said. "She's special." Chuck grinned at him, and Jerry looked a little embarrassed. "I mean if I'm honest, I like that she, well, tells me how things are going to be. There's none of those stupid games that some play."

"Jerry, the older you get the worse those games get," Chuck replied. "Also, Molly might have the belief she can make anyone she wants to fall in love."

"What do I do?" Jerry asked.

Chuck studied him for a minute, and grinned. "I have it on pretty good authority Bartowskis are pretty good baggage handlers." Jerry gave him a strange look. "Talk, communicate, tell her what you feel."

"She doesn't have the problem," Jerry grumbled. Chuck just laughed, and he looked up.

Chuck stood up. "Ladies," he said, seeing Sarah and Molly.

}o{

"Casey take the bait?" Sarah asked, the two of them sitting as far away from Molly and Jerry as they could in the coffee shop, trying their best not to look at them and give them privacy.

"I mean you basically told him that Molly was about to date some kid that wasn't Jerry, you threw him for a loop."

"That was to get him back for making you watch all those teen pregnancy videos," Sarah retorted.

"You know I am a grown ass man who can defend myself," Chuck said, over his hot chocolate, grinning at her. "Just because I'm not as buff as the Shazam guy.."

"Okay, enough," she said laughing. "You got your own thing going on, and I like it just fine."

"Really?" Chuck asked, a grin on his face.

"Uh-huh," Sarah said leaning toward him.

"Mom, will you two not suck face while I'm on a date!" Molly yelled across the room. "I don't need ANOTHER younger sibling."

Sarah pulled back in horror. "This from the kid that wanted the stork to visit us from the day we met," Chuck muttered, glaring at his daughter. Sarah turned around to look at her, seeing the grin on Molly's face. "She got us," Chuck said. Sarah turned back to Chuck a smile on her face. "You absolutely sure she's not your biological kid?" Sarah narrowed her eyes at him. "Right, there's the line, and I stepped over it."

"You did."

"Do I need to go buy a Shazam suit and wear it later?"

"God, no," Sarah said. Chuck looked a little disappointed. "We both know you'd try to jump off the roof to fly." With that she got up and headed to the restroom.

"She's not wrong," Chuck muttered to himself.

That evening

"Casey, you've GOT to let them live their life," Sarah said.

"Do I need to show you the teen pregnancy videos?" Casey asked.

"Please don't," Chuck begged.

"And why is she the one in my face and not you?" Casey asked Chuck.

"Because you won't listen to him when it comes to Molly," Sarah said, grabbing Casey's jaw and pulling it toward her face until they locked eyes. "I get it, you're trying to protect her, but she's got to live her life."

"Fine," Casey grumbled, and then rubbed his face. "But this does NOT make me happy."

"I. Don't. Care," Sarah said, bitting off each word. Casey gave a nod, turned, and left.

"He just cares about her, Blondie," Carina spoke up defending him.

"I know, Carina," Sarah said with a sigh. "But she deserves to have a life, her own life."

"I know, I'll talk to him," Carina said, giving Sarah a hug, and then Chuck one. "You know, Curls, while I do have a think for a guy with muscles, there is something appealing to the long lean look."

"Carina," Sarah growled.

"Love you two," Carina said, grinning as she hurried out the door.

Sarah turned to Chuck. "Did we do wrong?"

"Letting those two have an actual date?" Chuck asked. "No. I appreciate Morgan's, Casey's, Carina's, and Alex's concern, but she deserves her own space."

Sarah grinned at him. "Standing up for your girl, huh? I don't think you get how much of a superhero you really are." Chuck shrugged, a slow grin growing on his face. She reached over, playing with his shirt collar. "I kinda have a thing for a certain superhero."

"Have a big S or a lightening bolt on his chest?" She shook her head. "Do you….drool a bit over him?" She nodded slowly.

"REMEMBER WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE BABIES!" Molly yelled from the top of the stairs.

"I've got the stork number on speed dial, MISSY!" Sarah yelled back, making Chuck's eyes grow wide. Sarah saw the look on his face and shrugged. "What, we're pretty good at this."

"We are," he said in a low voice that made her shiver. "Maybe we should practice, just in case." Sarah grabbed her hand and dragged Chuck upstairs.

"Some things never change," he muttered, going along happily.
