Bartowskis At Large

Disclaimer: Just an idea that came to me while at work.

Summary: What if there had been more to Chuck telling Sarah no about running away and failing Spy School?

"Okay… Can someone PLEASE tell me what the Hell is going on now!?" Demanded to know Ellie Bartowski-Woodcomb as she was seated at the table underneath the Orange Orange.

Ohh man… I thought Chuck wasn't ever gonna tell Ellie? Wondered Awesome as he was seated on the opposite side of his wife.

"I wish I knew what to tell you, Ellie." Sarah told her truthfully.

Part of her wishing she wasn't even here at the moment thanks to how much she was still hurting two months later after Chuck had chosen Spy Life over her. Hell, he had ended up failing Spy School in the end and that had made it even much worse for the Blonde Agent. Casey said nothing as Ellie eyed him and Sarah suspiciously but he had to admit to being curious himself. Ellie frowned unhappily and was about to say something when the screen in front of the table came to life. "Apologies, Drs. Woodcomb, Agents Casey and Walker." Began the woman known as General Diane Beckman.

"Agents? What is she talking about?" Demanded to know Ellie.

"My name is General Diane Beckman, Dr. Woodcomb. As for what I am talking about, allow me a few minutes to explain." And explain she did about what it is Sarah and Casey really did, greatly shocking the good Doctor in the process.

"Wait… Why aren't you just as surprised by all this, Devon?"

"Uhh… Well… I kinda found out a couple months ago, El."

Casey grunted and rolled his eyes as he remembered that particular event. Ellie took a deep breath. "Okay… I'll deal with the feelings I have in me later where you three are concerned. But why tell me this?"

"Because, Dr. Woodcomb, your brother is potentially in grave danger as we speak. And your father is the cause." Declared Beckman much to the shock of those present.

"What do you mean my brother's in grave danger and our dad's the cause!? My dad may be a little eccentric but he's no threat!" Argued Ellie as Sarah tried not to feel too concerned about Chuck but was finding it hard.

Beckman immediately went into detail about Project: Intersect and all that it entailed, including her own family's involvement much to Ellie's shock. "Whoa, that's seriously deep." Muttered Devon as that was just seriously wild!

"Furthermore, its become clear that due to years of having his own version of his creation in his head, your father's mind is deteriorating and has managed to convince Chuck that his help is needed to find your mother. That, Agent Walker, is why he would not go on the run with you in Prague. That is why he faked failing his training as it was under the instruction of his father so that they could freely move about without anyone the wiser."

"Oh God… And he has no idea he's been lied too." Murmured Sarah stunnedly.

"To add on to this whole thing, Agent Larkin is alive and well and unfortunately, under the belief he's helping Chuck and his father find Mary Bartowski. Whom was a CIA Agent herself."

"My… My mom was a CIA Agent!?"

Beckman nodded as the shock continued to rise in the base. "This is nuts, even for us." Muttered Casey, easily ignoring any glares that came his way.

"It is to my regret that I must inform you, Dr. Woodcomb, that your mother was killed 20 years ago. A fact your father refused to believe and it is likely that belief has become twisted since then thanks in part to the Intersect's affects on his mind. What is happening now is getting to be chaotic and is no doubt drawing attention from those the Bartowski men and Agent Larkin do NOT need in their direction. Because of that, it is absolutely imperative we find and bring them home as soon as possible."

Unable to help herself, Ellie fled the room to have a little privacy to cry for the loss of her mother and the situation her brother's in thanks to their dad. Devon was quick to follow her and wrap her up in his arms so she wouldn't be alone. "And all this time…" Murmured Sarah to herself as tears threatened to spill forth.

Casey wisely kept his mouth shut as he wondered how the Hell they were gonna track Larkin and the Bartowski men as they could be anywhere right now.

Author's Notes: Well, that's a pickle.
