The Arms Dealer

And

The Nerd

Disclaimer: While watching more 'Chuck' related videos on Youtube again, I had this rather crackish idea come to mind where him and La Ciudad are concerned.

Summary: A Nerd and an international Arms Dealer? Well… Stranger things have happened!

"Charles! Its time to leave, my love!" Declared a Brunette haired and very beautiful woman on a roof top.

"Coming, dear!" Called out the one known as Charles.

And so he did as he got to her and their waiting Helicopter and the two shared a brief but very passionate kiss before getting into the helicopter and making their leave. Once they were a good distance away, Charles pulled out a device and hit a button on it. As a result, the building they had just left exploded. "You and your explosives." Commented the woman fondly.

Charles, or rather, Charles Irving Bartowski, otherwise known as Chuck, looked at his beautiful wife with a grin on his lips. "What can I say? I love the sound of things going boom."

His wife, the ever mysterious 'La Ciudad', aka Malena Bernal, chuckled and kissed him soundly. Now, you might be wondering how a well known and self admitted Nerd and a stunningly beautiful and dangerous woman had fallen for one another and gotten married. And well, it happened roughly four years ago in a seedy bar somewhere in Burbank where Chuck was busily getting himself drunker than an Irishman as it had been a year since he'd been expelled from Stanford and and cheated on by his former girlfriend, Jill Roberts. This very same bar was also where Malena was due to a business meeting she was waiting on to happen and despite herself, couldn't help but notice the drunken and heart broken man at the counter. But it wasn't until after successfully having her business meeting that she approached Chuck and had quite the conversation with him.

And even though she didn't really and truly know him at all, Malena found she couldn't leave him alone in his condition and so, she brought him with her to her hotel. Naturally, he had been understandably confused once he woke up and dealt with his hangover but once that was taken care of, they were able to talk more without Alcohol being in the way. Malena found herself liking him and surprisingly, so did Yuri and to a lesser extent, Ray. Hell, the two even offered to try and track down Bryce for the heart broken man and put a bullet or two in his head. It said something about Chuck however when he turned down their offer and then freaked out when he realized just how serious they were. It further said something when he calmed down and told them 'thanks anyway'. Malena would even personally take Chuck home and have quite the encounter with his older sister, Ellie.

Who had been understandably worried and terrified of what might have happened to her baby brother. It was also understandable that she didn't quite trust Malena and her two bodyguards and since Malena wasn't needed elsewhere for a time, had stuck around as she had found herself unexpectedly coming to greatly like Chuck and his sister. Even wanting to take him with her and making his life a lot different. Something she chose to talk to Ellie about while not going into certain details about and got her support on the whole thing. Chuck at first had been a hard sell but eventually gave in to the idea. It probably helped that Yuri and Ray helped in the convincing as they had quickly come to see Chuck as a little brother to them. Now at first, Malena had kept Chuck in the dark about certain aspects of her business while also seducing him and making him forget all about Jill Roberts so that he would be entirely her's. And in the process, finding herself becoming entirely his, not that this was much of an issue in the long run for her. But when he did eventually find out, he wasn't as bothered about the whole thing.

Even wanting to be involved and providing ideas to help out thanks to his knowledge of computers and the like. Most especially where his Piranha persona was concerned! From there, things went on as a Nerd and an International Arms Dealer fell deeper and deeper for one another to the point they got married with everyone they knew in attendance. Though Ellie and others back in Burbank had yet to find out what Malena and Chuck really did when on business. Granted, there was some talk between the married lovers about cautiously bringing in Ellie but so far nothing had actually happened since they were worried she wouldn't take things too well. Chuck also used the alias of 'Charles Carmichael' to ensure Authorities wouldn't be able to link him to his real identity. It should also be noted that as a wedding present to her husband, Malena had Jill Roberts tracked down and brought to them.

Jill had been none too happy about things and had tried to plead with Chuck but his time with his wife and what they did, had changed him in a lot of ways. And so, he shot Jill and ended her life for good and then spent the rest of his time celebrating his newly married status with his wife. "Pool when we get home, my love?" Malena asked once she pulled back from his lips and looked him in the eyes.

"I was thinking more along the lines of our bed." He replied with a wiggle of his eyebrows.

"Hmm… You drive a hard bargain." Purred Malena as she looked at him seductively.

Author's Notes: Heh, and that concludes that. For now at least!
