Howl Of

The Nerd

Part 2

Disclaimer: More Wolfy Chuck!

Summary: Its a little bit later and its time for that talk.

Chuck turned his head to the side and refrained from growling. "You here on orders to kill me or are you not able to handle a freak like me, Casey?"

Casey froze as the lanky Nerd turned around to look at him with his eyes glowing that golden color. "O-Orders, Bartowski."

"Guess I was a fool to think you were a friend, a… A Pack mate." His words made the big man feel like he'd been punched hard in the gut.

"I tried to get them to go for another alternative but they wouldn't listen."

"They who? Graham and Beckman?"

Casey nodded in silence, his gun still pointed at Chuck with his grip somewhat shaky. "Does Sarah know?" A shake of the head was the lanky Nerd's answer and he felt relieved by that.

"You've got a choice then, Casey. You can either follow what's likely a very unlawful order and carry that around on your conscience until the end of your days. Or, you can for once, ignore an order and do what's right."

The two stared each other down until a frantic knocking was heard at the door and Chuck used his sense of smell to see who it was. "Sarah." He near whispered.

"Don't even think about leaving, Casey." Growled the man as he went and opened the door and when Sarah revealed what happened with the new Intersect, Casey couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash through him.

"Guess you won't be killing me after all, Casey." Chuck said as he turned back to look at the big man as Sarah's eyes widened in shock and anger.

Though she had to take a step back when Chuck let out an angry growl over the fact he was still stuck in his position as the only Intersect around. "Sorry, had to let that one out." He muttered unhappily.

Gaining a look of sympathy from Sarah in the process. "Tell me one reason I shouldn't end you right here and now, Casey." Sarah said seconds later as sure, Chuck may be a little different but damnit, he's still her Chuck!

"Because he honestly didn't want to kill me, Sarah." Defended Chuck and Casey's silence spoke volumes about the fact he was right.

"But we can talk about that later as I promised you both an explanation about my more… Hairier side."

"We need to speak with Beckman first though." Reminded Sarah somewhat unhappily and the lanky Nerd sighed unhappily.

"There are three things that can not long be hidden… The Sun, the Moon, and the Truth." Muttered the man to the other two's confusion before he repeated it several times and then saw their confused looks and apologized.

"Sorry, its a mantra my Pack's Alpha learned from his Alpha sometime before he left and formed his own Pack. Its a Buddhist way of helping calm a Werewolf."

Well, that just gave the two more questions!

A Short Time Later

Frankly, it had been a miracle Chuck hadn't lost his cool and gone off on the General and revealed his more Wolfy side to her. But he had managed not to do so and now he, Sarah, and Casey were at Sarah's hotel room since there were no bugs of any kind there. "So… You're… You're a real Werewolf?" Began Sarah.

"How's that even possible?" Questioned Casey next as they aren't supposed to exist except for in movies and the like!

A shrug came from the King of Nerds. "There's a number of myths and the like around it but none of us know for certain. Especially since a lot of the ones who would know are either dead or in deep hiding so Hunters like the Argent family don't find them." Half lied the curly haired man as his Alpha had passed down the knowledge to his Pack about how Werewolves had come to be.

But he wasn't going to tell them that as Chuck didn't think either one would believe him on it! Sarah's eyes widened in shock. "There are legit Werewolf hunters!?"

Chuck could only nod in a grim manner. "Christ, Bartowski."

"And before you ask, yes, my sister is aware of my more hairer side. She was the lucky one who was born normal while I was the one who inherited our mother's side of things. I've got senses like a Wolf does, the gold my eyes can be shows my status as a Beta and the fact I haven't killed an innocent. Of course I've never killed anyone so there's that. If I was to kill an innocent, I'd go from gold to blue, and only Alpha Werewolves have red eyes. Alphas are also the only ones who can make a person into a Werewolf. But there's a 50 percent it'll even work."

"I'm guessin' the other 50 means you'll stay normal if it doesn't?" Wondered Casey.

"No, the Bite will end up killing them if their body doesn't accept it. No one's ever been able to figure out why it happens like that." Chuck stated bluntly.

Not seeing a need to sugar coat it. "Damn." Muttered the NSA man with Sarah nodding in agreement.

"Does… Does the Intersect cause you problems with your… Other side?" Wondered Sarah hesitantly.

"So far, not really. Other than it causing a problem here and there in my personal life of course."

"What about the Full Moon? Obviously there wasn't one when you… Changed." Wondered Casey next.

Chuck shrugged. "Aside from making me a bit more irritable than usual, it doesn't really effect me that much anymore. Over time, we can gain enough control so that it doesn't force the change on us and we also learn how to Shift on our own as well."

Things went silent for awhile between the trio until Chuck hesitantly broke it. "So… What now?"

"Well… There's obviously going to be an adjustment period with not just the fact that the new Intersect's destroyed and Director Graham's death, but with this as well… But, we'll get through it together." Sarah said.

Unsure if she should feel any grief towards that man who was obviously involved with the termination order on Chuck. She was also gonna have to deal with how she handled things with Beckman too considering her own clear involvement in that. Chuck and Casey both respectively nodded in understanding and agreement with her words. "Don't think this means I trust you right now, Casey, 'cause I don't. Its gonna take time to build that up." Declared the Nerdy Wolf to the NSA man.

He flinched but nodded in understanding and Sarah told the man it was likewise the same with her. "Now, get out because Chuck and I need to talk."

Not wanting to test Walker, Casey did do so, leaving the two alone on their own. "Is this the part where you tell me nothing can happen between us because I'm still the Intersect and you know my furry little secret?" Chuck asked of his Blonde Vision a bit sadly.

Sarah came up to him and grabbed his face so he didn't have much choice but to look at her. "Of course not, Chuck. Because as far as I'm concerned, the rules and Beckman can kiss my ass because I want what's obviously there between us. Furry side or not." She replied.

As she didn't give a damn if he was a Werewolf, an Alien, or anything else as he was her Chuck! Her words surprised him and thanks to his senses, Chuck could tell she was being completely honest with him. "For the record, you do know that thanks to my senses, I know you lied to me when under that truth serum, right?"

"That's gonna take some getting used too but… I'm glad you know. I hated having to lie to you." Admitted Sarah honestly.

Chuck was happy about that as she suddenly smiled coyly at him. "Now… I think during our date we were about to kiss?"

He couldn't help but grin hugely at the reminder. "I may remember something about that."

"Well… I'm game to see that through if you are, Mr. Bartowski."

Luckily for her, he was as Chuck kissed her and the two let nature take its course since both really didn't want to fight what they felt for one another any longer.

Author's Notes: I kinda figure with this change, Sarah wouldn't really care in the long run and with the fact she knows about the termination order, she'd be less likely to play by the rules when it comes to what's there between her and Chuck.
