Death's Justice

Disclaimer: Randomly came up with this one, which is always fun. Something of a crossover with 'The Crow'. Set in between seasons 3 and 4.

Summary: Someone's been brutally taking out those on the wrong side of the law, someone many think is dead.

"Ma'am, we've got another 'Crow Murder'." Declared a dark haired male NSA Agent as he made his way into the office of General Diane Beckman.

Beckman looked up at him with a grim look on her face. "Who was it this time?"

"Manoosh Depak, Ma'am. We uhh… We've even got video of the one who did it." Informed the Agent and making Beckman's eyes widen.

"Get it on my screen, immediately!"

The man did as ordered and once both got a look at the one who killed Manoosh, Beckman's eyes widened again. "It… It can't be."

"What can't be, Ma'am?"

"That man on the screen, with the black and white facepaint, its someone I once knew but it can't be him."

"Why is that? Though you know as well as I do that some do fake their deaths for various reasons." Pointed out the man reasonably and getting a scowl from his superior.

"I am quite aware of that, Agent Ryan. But given that Chuck Bartowski was murdered a year ago in a very public fashion, I think you see why I am having trouble believing what I'm seeing." She told him and causing the man's eyes to widen this time.

As what had happened to Charles Bartowski, aka Charles Carmichael, had been damned brutal as those he'd had a part in bringing to justice, had managed to free themselves and go after the man. Those like La Ciudad, Manoosh Depak, Hugo Panzer, Sasha Banachek, Laszlo, Daniel Shaw, and several others. All of whom had something of a grudge against Chuck for one reason or another. Chuck had been brutally beaten by the group and then brought on a live broadcast where he was beaten again and then shot in the head. The act had caused Sarah Walker of the CIA to go into a catatonic state while John Casey had chosen to try and track down the sons of bitches who had killed someone he had considered a good friend. So far he'd had no luck in the year since Chuck's death where as Ellie Bartowski-Woodcomb and her husband, Devon, were still in mourning while recently celebrating the birth of their child, Charlotte. They also had the catatonic Sarah living with them in order to keep an eye on her.

And if it wasn't for Alex McHugh, there's no telling how much worse off one Morgan Grimes would be at this point in time. Though in the last 3 months, there had started to become a string of murders of those who had had something to do with Chuck's death, all having an image of a Crow with each murder. But to finally see the one responsible, and for him to look like Chuck… It was deeply concerting. "I… Yes, Ma'am, I can see why it would be hard to believe." Agent Ryan said quietly.

"Get me Agent Casey in my office ASAP. Tell him its a high priority order."

Agent Ryan nodded and quickly made his leave, leaving the good General on her own as she watched the footage of the black and white face painted man one more time. Uncertain if she should believe the figure to be Chuck Bartowski himself. The very same man she knew that wouldn't ever take a life. But if it really is Chuck... How is he even alive!? And why not come to us!?

Author's Notes: Something of a teaser and could be a full on fic at some point. But we'll see where things go in the future.
