A/N

I'm so sorry everyone, I really thought I had posted this before took a few days off to recharge.

I've read through it and as you all know my grammar is not great, and I have no beta, proof-reader or life for that matter. That was actually how I was introduced at a meeting last light, so it must be true. I apparently live through others.

Usual disclaimers apply. See previous chapters but to sum it up I own nothing. That was also brought up.

Ch 10 – Flying Crap (you might want to duck now)

--

Chuck was not sure if Ellie was pacing around Castle, or running a marathon. Either way he knew she was in a daze trying to absorb all the information he threw at her since they arrived at the "bat cave". Chuck actually let out a small laugh at Forrest's Batman reference which caused Ellie to snap "So what about Sarah – Is that real at least?

Chuck was about to open his mouth when Casey jumped in "Walker.. err Sarah and Chuck's feelings are very real Ellie, but if our superiors knew she would be reassigned. Forrest over here" Casey nudges the half awake agent "was actually sent at one time to evaluate if she could do her job because of her feelings for Chuck. Thankfully she knows how to keep business and pleasure separate"

"See sis" Chuck pipes up "Sarah has told me a thousand times that she is not good with relationships, between that, her real job, a pain in the butt General, Bryce, Jill and the goon over there.."

GRUNT #38 – THIN ICE BARTOWSKI.

"..it really is compl.."

Ellie winds up and smacks Chuck on the back of the head "CHARLES IRVING BARTOWSKI - I TOLD YOU TO STOP SAYING THAT IS NOTHING MORE THAN LOVE, BUT IT'S WORTH IT."

--

Sarah and Hawk watch the video feed from behind the counter of the Orange Orange.

"As promised Chuck is fine, Ellie and Devin know the truth about what Chuck does and who he is. Casey will probably need a couple of doctors anyway from the coronary he will..:"

"What is SHE doing there?"

"oh her, well lets call it a side project"

Sarah looks at Chuck on the monitor, she still has not been able to fully regain control of her emotions yet. Obviously Ellie and Devin got the really long version as they stopped talking and Ellie had taken full control and is throwing questions at Casey, Chuck and Devin almost as fast as she can speak. All three tried to keep up, but now they realized it was more waiting for Ellie to run out of air. Sarah was glad that there was no audio."Ellie must hate me. Look at her, that whack must have been because he was stupid enough to fall for me"

They entered Castle and all Chuck wanted was to go and hold Sarah. It's been a week since he had a chance to see her so upset, he was visibly shaking. To his credit he stayed seated next to Devin. Ellie when she saw Sarah and rushed up to give her a hug."Sarah, are you alright I was scared that .. You know when I didn't see you." Ellie whispered

"Big day huh?" Sarah said, looking down "I'm so sorry Ellie, for everything"

Ellie releases the bear hug "You love him?"

Sarah now looks straight into Ellie's eyes "He is my life. I can't picture him never being part of it."

"Then there is nothing to forgive, you protected the man you love your way. I've would have done nothing different for either Devin or Chuck. Thank you for being my brother's guardian angel."

Casey however was still stunned by the fact that 'Lady' actually 'Sat' and 'Stayed'. "This day is going from weird to weirder."

What Hawk immediately picked up on was the silently communication between Sarah and Chuck. Even in Ellie's hug they seemed to have a debate and both of them came to a decision, one that Chuck was not happy with, and she was hurt by. "Interesting…"

"Colonel, Agents. Doctors, I am the new director of the CIA. The name is CP Scott. Everyone have a seat." Ellie sat between Devin and Chuck and Sarah next to him, all holding hands but Sarah and Chuck did not stop stealing glances at each other, their conversation continuing by the tensing of Sarah's mussels and, well Chuck was just bad at hiding it to those who knew what to look for. "Trying hard to change her mind I see."

Hawk and Virginia sat at the head of the table. Casey sat next to Forrest, kicking her to bring her back to this planet. Virginia could not hold back a smiled at the two and Hawk looked up to the heavens. "This will be fun" they both thought.

"Colonel Casey, being NSA and since I have locked the Director of the NSA up for the last 10 or so hours listening to Hard Rock radio station, she will probably be in a bad mood. She also knows I am headed here so I want to give you fair warning and a way out. I can say to the General that I ordered you out of the room if you wish to leave."

The thought of the General predicament almost made Casey laugh out loud. "No Sir. I am not sure what is going on but I want it first hand." He could not stop grinning however.

Hawk nodded and turned to the two Doctors. Chuck tried to make Ellie promise that she would just take everything in and they would discuss it later. She was obviously having a hard time doing just that up to now. "OK, Doctors first"

"Devin, Ellie, I know this is a lot to take in, but I am hoping that you both after having all the cards laid out on the table will choose to assist us by doing operational support. Nothing that will put you in the line of fire. There is a lot of operations that could really use your expertise and I hope regardless of what choices are made here tonight, that we can come to some sort of arrangement. I've done some research on you two and I think you both would be great doctors for the CIA."

"Now for the rest of you. I am here to try fix problems, even though you have done some of the best work the CIA has to show in the last few years, the last little while you have had such problems as Chuck running a rouge operation to find Orion, Sarah, one of going rouge and taking Chuck with her which caused one of the biggest NSA alerts in history. What I don't understand is Casey who was listed as being a burn out and was scheduled to be retired after he cleaned this up becoming the top of the NSA again. Then to top this all off, General Beckman calls for a 49B. That is where I come to you Agent Forrest."

Hawk turns to Forrest and grabs a report slams it down on the desk. Forrest head jerks up and yells "TAXI!"

"This report is absolutely the worst piece of crap that I have read in years. The only thing that was right is that Walker is compromised, but you have totally lost your prospective on what you were sent to do. The raid you conducted recently, You rushed in and left your fellow agents to fend for themselves when it wasn't necessary. That mission did not require you to attempt any sort of suicide run Agent Forrest, but you turned it into one. If you continue down this road I will be at your need to regain your perspective again."

"Walker has to make a decision on her future. I have given her three options. Chuck was given the information and he can pass that on later to the rest of you. Agent Walker's decision will have an effect on the rest of you, so Agent what have you decided?"

Sarah had such a tight hold on Chucks' hand that he thought he felt one of his finger pop out of place. "I pick the only one that gives Chuck the best life, I'll leave and go over seas."

The director nodds "Ok then Agent Walker your new duties will start immediately. Now…"

Chuck jumps up "NO WAY. Sarah will take the trainer position, Sarah we can make it work"

Sarah stands and puts her hand on Chuck's shirt " Listen Chuck, I know that sounds the best but it really isn't a life, it's a death sentence. I want to be with you more than anything, but that life will be months of worry and this way you can find someone to ma…

"DON"T YOU DARE SAY IT." Chuck screams – Ellie gets up at this point

"Guys – calm down"

Devin goes to Ellie "Not awesome I think they need this babe"

At this Forrest laughs – "You are so whipped, I should have cuffed you to the chair and finished that dance."

"WHAT" Ellie's eye's go wide

"OH CRAP!" Devin "Babe I can explain"

"DANCE, CUFFS – She's the one from that pictures isn't she"

--

Casey turns to Forrest (GRUNT 73 - You really know how to liven up a party Forrest). Drink?

(HUMPS #47 – You ain't seen nothin yet). Make it a double.

--

Sarah and Chuck, completely ignoring everyone else have moved closer to the stairs.

"Chuck can't you understand that I'm probably going to be fired. These choices came before the fight on the beach. Those choices are for your benefit, not mine" Sarah almost screams the last sentence out.

"I don't care Sarah, You just toss me out like a old dog to the backyard doghouse. I love you, I am not going to let you leave. I know kung fu- I can fight you right here. Put them up!" Chuck takes a Kung Fu stance blocking the stairs, afraid Sarah might bolt.

"Chuck – don't be stupid. I'm taking care of you, you you hard headed NERD"

"And I'm trying to take care of us, you beautiful blue eyed Blonde of my dreams"

"You Craze Computer Troll"

"You CIA .."

Chuck however never got a chance to finish as Sarah launches himself at Chuck and they both fall into passionate kissing on the steps.

--

Casey was heard stifling a laugh, and quickly it changed to a cough. Forrest got up and went over to the garbage can where she was heard throwing up.

--

Ellie was hitting Devin screaming at Forrest "Stay away from my HUSBAND you…"

The rest was drowned out as Forrest pulled a tranq gun out of her purse and fired at Ellie and Awsome. Turning to Chuck and Sarah and yelling "Heel", tranqed them. She was going to shoot the Chuck image still on the computer image when Casey laughing so hard that he almost missed grabbed the gun out of the totally wasted blonde hands. "Nowww to businesssss" Forrest states before her head goes back into the garbage can where she continues her inventory of todays food and drink choices.

Casey fell to the floor in laughing harder than he has in years.

Hawk turns to Virginia as she is puts down her own knives and could not hold back the laughter either. Hawk sighs "I think now is a great time for a coffee break." And with that he jumps over Chuck and Sarah and heads to the coffee shop. What he was muttering under his breath, well Virginia really didn't want to find out.

Twenty minutes later, Hawk was back with a dozen coffee's, 5 of them now in front of Forrest who with Casey's voluntold help drinking them down one by one, swaying in her seat more than a little..

Antidotes were given to the rest and they seated, sipping coffee.

"Now that we are back under control, everyone hear me out before anyone starts throwing knives, shooting or" looking at Sarah and Chuck "whatever else may happen."

"Sarah's choices, the MIB for Chuck, the attempted kicking of Virginia butt, the strange demands on not seeing each other, I could go on bit all the strange demands were made so I can make some hard decidions in a very short amount of time. They were all tests."

"First of all, Chuck and Sarah can use literally their passion to focus on the tasks at hand and can work independently and together to complete what they want. It is a rare and special talent in our world. You were tested in your feeling for each other and how you handled them. There was no doubt in my mind that you had both knew what the other one wanted. You both put each other in first and did it in a way that my stupid demands were taken into account. When Sarah was in the hospital, Chuck put his feeling aside for Sarah and did what he needed to do. Untrained as he is, his has the makings of a good agent"

Hawk looks at Virginia "Granted the MIB and the butt kicking was not the first choice of test that we were going to use for you Sarah, but it worked out better than and I think more conclusive that what was planned."

Ellie at that point stared at Sarah. "Sarah tell me that you are not the other person that started the riot on the beach?" Chuck was surprised that she kept silence this long.

Sarah looks down at and "Ellie it com.."

"Sis it was nothing really" Chuck jumps in, the look that Chuck gave Sarah, she understood that the word 'complicated' will out of her vocabulary a very long time.

"So people" Hawk continues "Where does that leave us? Castle has been compromised, so we have to make it look like a new ownership. Agent Forrest will be based out of here, and maybe with Casey pending NSA approval. We'll turn it into a Subway or something. We'll figure that out later."

"We also need a new cover for Chuck, therefore since it should be something believable, and since Chuck wanted his own software company, we'll start one for him. Gaming I assume? Oh and Chuck, I ran into someone that I want you to consider as a partner. If you are going to start down this road, it would look funny that Morgan would not be with you. I ran into him on my travels, and I heard lots of stories. The one about you wearing a dress that got ripped off in front of the school assembly was particularly funny"

Chuck looked more than a little red in the face "CRAP CRAP CRAP MORGAN NOT COOL!"

"Chuck, what can you tell us about Operation Zodiac"

Chuck clears his throat "Before the intersect was operational, Operation Zodiac was the main way for the CIA to transport information back to DC, and that became the first intersect dump from the CIA side. As a subset these were bases where agents could train, debrief, receive medical if needed, etc. The old project was a series of restaurants. The new modern plan for the new series is set from internet coffee shops. Wait a minute –the new coffee shop's layout is exactly like the ones the intersect has on file."

"And welcome to Scorpio. Agent Walker you will be one of the field trainers working under Virginia who will become head of the school. Agent Forrest and Colonel Casey may assist when other duties allow." The director now turns to Ellie and Devin.

"Doctors Woodcomb, I believe that because Chuck has been forced to lie to you, and his feeling for Sarah has had an impact on the information both the quality and quantity. Therefore by bringing you up to speed and making you part of this process is one problem solved. We also need Doctors with high clearance levels to treat agents. You two can also help solve that problem we have in LA as well."

Turning to Chuck and Sarah, "Putting these two in a position that they can have a relationship will hopefully solve the other part." Ellie seems to be almost vibrating out of her chair and Chuck and Sarah as just staring at Hawk like deer stuck in headlights.

"Chuck I would like to send you to the farm but that is not practical. There are 6 other trainees in the area right now that have following myself and Virginia around all day playing gopher. There are in Scorpio right now. You will be introduced as an analyst that is taking the program to improve on it. They will know nothing about the intersect program. For this to work however you will officially need to be hired by the CIA. I'm assuming that is ok with you.

"Finally, This has been a huge strain on all of you. Agents are trained for this, however even they are evaluated regularly to make sure they can take the strain of the job. Dr Short has moved his practice to LA and is willing to take all of you on as patients to help adjust to this drastic change. All of you will be attending weekly meetings with Dr Short to help document if nothing else this unusual setup that has developed. Agent Forrest you are also going to attend sessions, as well as Casey, if the NSA keeps him around. Forrest with the addition of the new doctors, "

"Now if there are no questions, I would like a word with the Dr's to go over what sort of duties they would be required to do and show them the medical bay. Colonel Casey would you mind taking Agent Forrest and getting her checked into a hotel so she can get some sleep."

With that Hawk and the Dr's went to the medical bay. Casey half carried, half pulled Forrest up the stairs towards the Vic.

Getting up to leave, Virginia turns towards Sarah "Hey Sarah, If I can steal you away from Chuck for a second.. Ok I'll meet you upstairs" With that she gets up and heads back into Orange Orange. Sarah after several minutes with Chuck finds Virginia pouring topping over her yogurt.

"You know Arthur Graham saw that you two were becoming close almost from day one. He thought at first that you were going to use Chuck to get over Bryce. It wasn't until he flew down and you had supper together right after the "bomb / kiss" thing that he realized that it was much more. That is when, Graham being Graham started making a backup plan. And he called his old partner in, one of the very few people in the CIA that has had a relationship with an another agent that worked. One that has lasted over 20 years now actually.

Virginia headed toward the door. "Earlier today I sent Chuck a picture that caused him to flash, ask him about it. What he tells you; well let's just say that you should follow up on it by yourself. I will see you in the coffee shop at 1100. Try to get some sleep tonight. It's a marathon, not a race."

"Oh Crap"

And that's a crap - wrap

Just to end any confusion before it starts, in an earlier chapter Chuck flashed on a secret compartment in Castle. It was going to be one of the ending point of the story, but after some debate and comments from people, it will be one of the plots in the next story. I've started roughing out the story, but I am still recovering from the Paul McCarthy concert so depending on soon I recoup from that is when the new story goes out.

I hope I didn't disappoint anyone. It's not the same story I started with. The idea that people wanted more of the AU still shocks me.

I hope to hear from you soon…

Please review and comment. Thanks
