My Centurion Brother

Disclaimer: While watching the second dvd of the 4th season, I had this pop into my head. And anybody notice how when Sarah wears purple, her and Chuck have issues? Okay, its not a for sure thing as they have issues with or with out it but its like a trouble color for those two, lol. Am I making sense? Eh, anyway!

Summary: Five years ago, Chuck Bartowski disappeared and his sister Ellie is about to get some answers over his disappearance.

The sound of a slap rang through out the hallway of Westside Medical in Burbank, California. "I deserve that." Muttered CIA Agent Bryce Larkin as he rubbed on his stinging cheek.

"You deserve a Hell of a lot more than that for what you did to my brother five years ago, you bastard." Sneered one Doctor Ellie Bartowski.

Bryce, not wanting to go back down that road, again, pushed on. "Ellie, we found Chuck." He told her.

His best friend until he betrayed him in order to keep him out of the CIA's hands, his best friend who ended up disappearing for five years afterwards. Making Bryce regret how he handled things all the more. Ellie's eyes widened in shock at his words. "Don't… Don't lie to me, Bryce."

"I'm not, Ellie, I swear. The scar on the cheek you didn't slap? He's responsible for it." Pointed out the man.

"While my brother isn't a violent man by any means, I can't say you don't deserve something like that."

"Ellie, he gave me that scar while trying his damndest to kill me. The people who took him did things to him. Things that took away the guy we all knew and loved and in his place, a ruthless fighter and assassin. He's dressed like a damn Roman Centurion for God's sake because of them." Ellie didn't want to believe what the man in front of her was saying, she just didn't want too.

Because her baby brother? A brainwashed, dressed up killer? She just couldn't fathom it and Bryce could easily see that. "Look, I can tell you don't want to believe it. Especially since its comin' from me, but I can take you to the holding facility we currently have him in."

"We?"

"Yeah… I'm, I'm CIA, Ellie." Her eyes widened at that as Ellie hadn't been expecting that!

"Come on, maybe seeing you will help the Doctors in gettin' back the Chuck we know." Bryce told her as he held open his hand for her to take.

Ellie stared at it for a long moment before finally taking it and leaving with the man, but not before ensuring her co-workers and Devon that she was leaving to see her found brother for the first time in years.

Author's Notes: Hmm... Wonder how well that's gonna go?
