The New
Team Member
Disclaimer: I had this idea come to me while at work and thought 'why the hell not?' as it has some interesting potential. Set several weeks in between 'Vs. The Gravitron' and 'Vs. The Sensei'.
Summary: Team Bartowski's about to get a new member, and none of them are going to be happy about it.
"Good morning, Team Intersect." Greeted General Beckman once all three members of the team sat down in their respective chairs in the secret base known as Castle underneath the Frozen Yogurt shop known as the Orange Orange.
One of its members, Charles Irving Bartowski scowled unhappily as he felt he was being demeaned by the woman on the screen. That, and he thought Team Bartowski sounded way better. Sarah's training kept her from showing how she felt about the name while Casey just grunted. "While there is no assignments for the three of you just yet, I am to inform you that you will have a new member joining the team."
This caused the trio to look at one another in shock and for two of them, they hoped it wasn't Bryce Larkin. Granted, Casey hoped it wasn't Carina but part of him did hope that Ilsa was joining them as he did miss her. Not that he would tell anyone but her that of course! "Though understandably this may cause some concern given past ties but its believed you will all be able to over come them in order to function as a team." Continued the good General as Sarah frowned.
"General, if I may ask, who is joining our team? As it is, I don't feel we need anyone else as the three of us are just fine the way we are." She said in a respectful tone of voice.
"Agreed." Grunted Casey.
"The Three Musketeers!" Added Chuck cheerfully.
Even if no one, Sarah in particular, was likely to get the reference. "I will not deny the effective success rate your team has had since its formation but given her knowledge of the enemy, its felt that she would be far more effective working with you to bring down Fulcrum than being stuck in a cell."
"Please tell me you aren't serious." Breathed out Chuck as a pit of dread welled up in him and Casey grumbled to himself while Sarah was feeling none too happy with where this was going on.
The sound of the door opening from above caused them to turn towards it and with two escorts accompanying her, was one Jill Roberts. And if Chuck was seeing things right, she was looking rather nervous as she stared at the three of them. "Hi… Chuck." Greeted the woman softly.
Lady feelings, I HATE lady feelings. Why in President Reagan's name would the General do this!? Its gonna cause problems, damnit!
Sarah was having to strongly refrain from launching herself at the dark haired bitch but the scowl was easily seen by all on her face as she stared Jill down. "I HATE Bryce Larkin." Grumbled Chuck unhappily.
Feeling like once again that Bryce and the Universe itself were making him their favorite whipping boy.
Author's Notes: Just how would this play out with Jill being around as an official part of the team? Who knows, but the potential exploration would be fun to do!
