**I do not own Chuck**

Before they go into the building, Sarah stops to change Watanabe's I.D. "We need to put my face or your face over his, so they think it is real." Sarah knows the I.D. has Watanabe's face on it and she needs it to show hers or Chuck's face. She has always been an amazing and smart spy, knowing how to pull of a cover.

"Ok, do we have any pictures of you or me that small?" Chuck asks after acknowledging that she is right.

"Don't worry; I'll cut out my picture from the fake I.D. I made of myself," Sarah says confidently. Chuck is just in awe of how smart she is. She pulls out a hidden knife from her upper thigh, and starts cutting. Morgan and Casey sit down in the class a few minutes earlier.

"Lets hope this class isn't too boring," Morgan hopes it is interesting and engaging. Casey just grunts as he stares at Morgan in annoyance. The teacher finally walks in. He looks tired and confused.

"Hello class. Today's lecture is about Freudian Theories," Watanabe projects.

"Oh god, this is going to blow," Morgan grumbles. Casey just hits him to make him shut up.

"I kind of feel out of it so this lecture might not be as clear as usual," the professor expresses.

"I wonder why?" Casey jokes sarcastically while nudging Morgan.

"Because the subject is so boring obviously," Morgan has no idea. Casey stares at him in disbelief. He is just thinking that Morgan must be mentally challenged.

"What Walker did too him, idiot," Casey explains.

"Oh…" Morgan draws out the word realizing what Casey meant. Professor Watanabe starts his lecture about the theories and Morgan automatically zones out. Sarah finishes cutting out the picture and she glues it to the I.D.

"Where did you get glue?" Chuck curiously asks.

"I have a special adhesive in my pocket," Sarah clarifies.

"What don't you have on you?"

"Well… a utility belt…" Sarah jokes.

"Now that would be awesome. I can be Batman and you can be Robin, or uh… Batgirl," Chuck ponders about it.

"Why am I Batgirl? I should be Batwoman," Sarah playfully complains. "Do I look sixteen?" Sarah teases. Chuck eyes her beautiful body.

"Uh… no?" Chuck responds after admiring her for a few seconds. Chuck clears his mind and wants to move on with the mission. "Whatever, lets go inside. I'll be your student, Dr. Walker," Chuck jokes. They go inside, Sarah flashes her I.D. at the guard and they walk to the elevator. Once it arrives, they go inside. Morgan is dying slowly inside because of the boring lecture.

"I can't take it anymore," Morgan complains in a whisper to Casey.

"Shut up and listen," Casey responds.

"Casey, just kill me now," Morgan begs of Casey as a joke.

"That can be arranged," Casey jokes but sounds convincing. They both try to listen to the lecture although it is very hard. Sarah and Chuck walk into the elevator and the door closes. There are eight floors and a keycard slot for the sixth floor. Sarah sticks in the I.D. hoping it will work.

"Oh boy," She says as the reader accepts the card. The elevator starts descending. Chuck pulls out his sentimental tranquilizer gun. Sarah pulls out a silenced usp .45. She takes the glasses off and cocks the gun. Chuck looks at her gun and compares them. His gun is like a baby compared to her's. It is like comparing Morgan to Casey. You know what gun correlates to each person. The elevator finally arrives; Chuck and Sarah hide on each side of the doors.

Ding! The elevator beeps.

"So much for sneaking, right?" Chuck whispers. Sarah looks at him with her eyes slightly squinted and an annoyed expression. Chuck immediately gets the gesture and shuts up. Sarah peeks her head out the doors to see the area. It is just a plain white hallway with almost twenty doors on each side. No numbers or letters to correlate which door is which. The walls have little niches after each door that is perfect for hiding behind. There is no one else there, not even a security camera. They start searching each door, Sarah goes ahead as Chuck gets her back. After about five empty rooms, they find one with someone inside working. Sarah grabs him from behind, holds a gun to his head and tells him to talk.

"What goes on down here?" She asks quietly. Chuck watches her back, although there is only that one door so it is pretty easy.

"I-uh don't kn-now anything!" The guy explains in distress and fear.

"Tell me or I will kill you!" She threatens.

"I really don't know anything! I swear!" The guy begs in fear.

"Well, I guess this guy is no help. Shoot him please, he is despicable," Chuck teases hoping the guy will talk.

"Any last words?" Sarah asks with pleasure, selling the idea that the guy is going to die right then and there. The guy shivers in fear and the sweat starts to sting his eyes.

"I'm only a scientist! I don't want to die!" The guy begs with as must passion he can gather. He is literally seconds away from peeing himself. Sarah threatens him again.

"Tell me what you do then!"

"I-uh d-d-do neurology t-t-tests on the rec-recruits" The guy nervously fumbles out of his mouth. Sarah flashes the gun in his face again. Sarah hears what sounds like a leaking faucet and releases the scientist. She looks down at his crotch and covers her mouth to stop her from laughing. The scientist just pissed himself. She can hear the drips smacking the floor. Chuck looks back to see this guy with a yellow stripe on his left leg and a circular stain at the bottom of his lab coat. There is a puddle below his feet that he is standing in because he is in too much shock to move. This causes Chuck to smirk. Sarah cannot help but to laugh at the guy.

"You're pathetic," She laughs. The scientist is embarrassed but rather take the embarrassment and shame then die. "Where do you do these studies?" Sarah pressures after controlling her laughter and forces the gun in the scientist's face.

"Fo-fouth door on th-the left," he spits out, still very nervous and embarrassed.

"Thanks, now was that so hard?" Sarah jokes. "Wanna do the honors?" she asks Chuck knowing that he has a tranquilizer gun and it won't kill the scientist.

"My pleasure," Chuck says in an evil genius voice; he has an evil grin and starts walking up to the scientist slowly. The scientist is now crying on his knees praying.

"No, please! I didn't do anything! Oh god, please, no!" He is frightened so much that his heart skips a beat. Sarah motions for Chuck to shoot him. Chuck aims at the guys head, the guy shivers more. Tears are now raining down his face. Chuck aims the gun down to his chest and shoots him in the right chest. The guy passes out immediately and they tie him up. Chuck takes the dart out and they head for the door. As they peek out the door, there are two guards walking by. They wait for the guards to pass the door and quickly sneak out. Chuck flashes all his kung-fu mojo. In a split-second he learns how to fight like a martial arts master. Both of them run stealthily and do a flying kick into the guards back. Chuck and Sarah are in perfect synchronization and they take the guards out with one flying kick. They then drag the bodies into the room with the scientist. They tie up the two guards equally as efficient as the scientist using tubes they found in the room. They finally make it into the fourth door on the left.

They step in and the room is filled with computer monitors next to stretchers. It looked like an evil hospital. All the beds were empty except for one. A trainee was handcuffed to the bed and asleep. As Chuck and Sarah walk up to the trainee, he wakes suddenly and almost rips Chuck's face off. Sarah pulls Chuck back in the nick of time.

"Ah! Get away from me! No more tests!" The trainee yells in fear.

"We're here to help. Calm down," Sarah assures him. The trainee looks at them and sees they aren't in lab coats or guard uniforms. He calms down and asks for their help.

"Please help me! I can't take it anymore," the trainee pleads.

"What did they do to you?" Chuck asks in curiosity.

"Tests, man. They drugged me with over a hundred needles," the trainee nervously answers.

"What did they dose you with?" Chuck asks, hoping his mother is not part of this.

"I don't know. They said I was going to become a super soldier and started putting needles in me," he replies as he slowly calms down.

"I'll look at the clipboard," Sarah suggests. Sarah picks it up and looks at it. "Polyphiliacetamin," Sarah questionably reads out loud. She has never heard of it. Chuck immediately flashes as he hears the drug. He sees an image of a pile of dead male soldiers, Rockwood spending reports, x-ray scans, brain scans, and muscular growth scans. Sarah looks up and Chuck starts telling her everything his flash showed him.

"It is an experimental drug that is supposed to promote brain activity and make you stronger. They have tested it on over fifty soldiers that died from it." As Chuck finishes explaining, a guard walks in.

"Hands up!" He exclaims as he reaches for his pistol. Before he can get it out of the holster, Sarah throws the clipboard like a Frisbee and it hits the guard right in the forehead.

"That was close. Great throw," Chuck looks in astonishment as the guard drops to the ground totally unconscious.

"Thanks," she accepts the compliment as she grabs the clipboard to read over it some more. Chuck drags the guard in so no one will find his body in the hallway.

"I don't want to die, man! Please help me!" The trainee exclaims with fear and gratitude.

"We're trying," Sarah replies as Chuck drops the guard's body in the corner.

"I can't go back to that green room. No not the green room!" The trainee shrieks in terror.

"What do you mean green room?" Sarah asks for a clearer answer.

"I don't know. They always blindfolded me before they dragged me there. I don't know where it is," the Trainee slowly calms down. Chuck and Sarah look at each other with an expression of here we go again.

"We'll come back for you when we stop this sick experiment," Chuck affirms to the trainee. Chuck and Sarah leave stealthily and start looking through each room to find one with green lights or green wallpaper; they are honestly not quite sure. They separate to cover more doors faster. After looking through all the doors, there were none that were green. "Well, the only door left is this one," Chuck gets a bad feeling about it. This door is at the end of the hallway and it is the only one they haven't checked.

"Lets go inside," Sarah says cautiously, "Watch my back."

"I got it," Chuck covers her as she picks the lock on the door. She unlocks the door and slowly opens it as she peeks around the corner. The room is definitely green. There is a row of computer hardware such as hard drives, processors, and fans. All the computers have bright green lights that show they are in operation except for one, it is red. There is a desk and a chair in front of the computers. Sarah and Chuck cautiously approach the desk looking around for any enemies.

"Glad you can join me," a shrilling female voice echoes through the room. "I've been waiting for you, Charles."

"Mom?" Chuck asks as her looks around for where this voice is coming from. Sarah is very alert ready for anything.

"No, Charles. I am not your mother," the chair slowly spins to face Chuck and Sarah. A forty-something year old woman is sitting there. She has a black suit on and her hair in a bun that looks very professional. She has thin glasses on and no gun in her hand. Chuck and Sarah both point their weapons at her.

"Who are you?" Chuck demands. Sarah knows not interrupt Chuck as it isn't her family involved.

"I am Patricia Margaret," the woman calmly replies. Chuck immediately flashes on the name and sees and image of a passport of Patricia Margaret with the picture blacked out, a mission briefing of a mission called Hydra, and a death certificate with her name on it. "How did that flash feel? Oh yea, you have that Governor on your wrist." Chuck and Sarah look in astonishment. How does she know about the Governor? How did she know he had an Intersect in him?

"How do you know about the Intersect and the Governor?" Chuck orders.

"Your father, better known as Hydra, has been looking for your mother for years now. Oh, wait. He goes by the name Orion now, Right?"

"He is dead," Chuck angrily confesses.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Well, not really. He was a real nuisance; a rat infestation. He would never fully give up. We moved your mother many times to dissuade him but he wouldn't stop."

"Where is my mother?" Chuck clenches his teeth and walks closer. Sarah hasn't seen Chuck so angry before.

"I don't know. I wasn't told where she was moved to now. She could be in Germany for all I know."

"Tell me now!" Chuck grabs the woman by her shirt and picks her up with one hand. "Tell me!" Sarah is genuinely afraid of Chuck. She has never seen him so determined and angry.

"I don't know," Patricia laughs a sinister laugh.

"Where is she?" Chuck screams at her as he tosses her against the computers. Sarah is in disbelief and doesn't know if she should try to calm Chuck down or let him continue.

After the crash into the computers, Patricia slowly gets up and says, "I really can't tell you." Again she laughs.

Why is she laughing? She is being pushed around and isn't defending herself. Chuck picks her up and puts a right hook into her stomach. Patricia falls forward as she holds her stomach in pain. Chuck starts beating her face in as Patricia just sits there and takes it. Even worse, she is laughing while getting pummeled. Sarah is frozen from the 'Evil' Chuck that is dawning before her.

"Where is she?" Chuck yells passionately; tears dripping down his face and his punches getting weaker as he gets exhausted. "Where is she?" Chuck pleads while breathing heavily.

"Stop it Chuck!" Sarah yells finally emerging out of her trance. Chuck doesn't even hear her; he is too focused and angry. "You're going to kill her. It isn't worth it! She doesn't know where your mom is," Sarah begs of Chuck to calm down as she slowly puts her hand on Chuck. Chuck quickly turns around and throws a punch at Sarah's face. In a blink of an eye, Chuck notices it is Sarah and he stops the punch. It was too late. He smacked Sarah in the face and she didn't expect it and fell to the ground. She was caught off-guard. This doesn't ever happen to Sarah but she didn't expect Chuck to hit her.

"Oh god, what did I do?" Chuck drops to his knees and tries to comfort Sarah. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't know what got over me," Chuck prays hoping Sarah is ok. Now tears of sadness are dripping down his eyes. "Please be okay. You have to be."

"You should learn to control that rage," Patricia coughs out some blood and laughs just a little as blood pours down her face. She can't even get up. She is slouched on her knees after being beaten in so malevolently.

"Shut up!" Chuck yells at her in anger. He looks back to Sarah who slowly opens her eyes. "Oh god, Sarah. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you." Chuck apologizes.

"Why, Chuck?" Sarah manages to say as she slowly wakes from unconsciousness.

"I didn't mean it. I swear. I got caught up in the moment," Chuck begs for forgiveness. He pulls her body close to him and hugs her.

"Who are you?" Sarah asks in anger. She separates herself from him. Chuck doesn't know how to answer. "The Chuck I know doesn't just beat people up for no good reason! What happened to you?"

"I don't know. I just couldn't control myself. Please, Sarah, you know I would never hurt you."

"Then what was that?"

"It was an accident. Please forgive me."

"I don't think I can. You struck me for no reason," Sarah is furious with Chuck but mostly disappointed.

"I don't know what to tell you. I lost control of myself," Chuck pleads for Sarah to trust him again. Chuck turns to Patricia angrily, "You made me do that!" Chuck tries to blame Patricia for it.

"I… didn't do anything. You're the one who decided to hit me, AND hit her," Patricia emphasizes the 'and', and tries to deflect the blame back onto Chuck.

"Do you know where Chuck's mother is?" Sarah is now livid and wants to kill Patricia and beat up Chuck. She blames both of them

"I don't know. Your mother is gone and I cannot help you find her. I want to help; I seriously do but there is nothing any of us can do," Patricia explains truthfully.

"No! There has to be something! You have to know!" Chuck is depressed and disappointed.

"There is nothing for us to do here. Lets go," Sarah tries to comfort Chuck after seeing him lose all his passion for finding his mother.

"No!" Chuck shrugs Sarah's hand off his shoulder. "You need to stop experimenting with Polyphiliacetamin. Now! Just promise me that," Chuck pleads.

"Ok, we have lost way too many good soldiers experimenting on it. I never actually wanted to use it. You have to understand. We are not bad people; we were doing it for the growth of America. The government wouldn't agree so we went private." Patricia tried to reason with Chuck. "You have to understand that."

"Ok, we believe you but you have to release that trainee you have locked up," Sarah answers for the both of them.

"I will. Don't worry. I am done with that lethal drug."

"Now lets go Chuck," Sarah tries to calm Chuck and leave.

"Ok, Sarah. I am sorry for hitting you," Chuck apologizes again.

"I know," Sarah wraps her arm around him and they walk out the door and through the hallway. Chuck then puts his arm around Sarah's shoulder and consoles her.

"Lets get a piece of meat for that bruise," Chuck jokingly suggests, but is serious about putting something cold on it. He doesn't want Sarah's beautiful face to have any blemish; especially one he caused personally. They exit the building and call Casey and Morgan.

"Hey, we're done here," Chuck tells Morgan over the phone. "The trail went cold," Chuck expresses disappointingly.

"What? That's it? There has to be more?" Morgan doesn't want the mission to end.

"Sorry buddy, but it is over," Chuck is still very depressing sounding.

"Ok. At least we don't have to listen to this boring lecture anymore," Morgan jokes.

"Meet us outside the psychology building."

"Ok, we'll be there." Morgan and Casey leave the lecture hall and exit the building. They meet up with Chuck and Sarah who are both pretty down; Sarah because Chuck hit her and Chuck because there is no way to find his mother.

"What happened to you, Walker?" Casey asks, surprised she got such a nasty bruise on her cheek. "Forget to dodge?"

"No, this guy hit me!" She answers in anger. She pushes Chuck as she says it.

"Why would you hit her?" Morgan asks.

"It was an accident," Chuck is genuinely sorry and doesn't want to talk about it.

"So the mission is accomplished?" Casey asks.

"No, it is just over," Chuck apathetically responds.

"Come on, lets go into the building and get your mom," Morgan ecstatically says because he doesn't want it to end.

"It is over!" Chuck almost yells at Morgan. "I'm sorry, buddy. There is nothing we can do. Lets go because I am sick of college."

"Me too, man. That class was boring. I fell asleep within the first five minutes," Morgan concurs with Chuck.

"I did too, buddy," Chuck lets Morgan know he isn't the only one who couldn't stand that class. Chuck looks at Sarah and says, "Lets get some ice on that." Chuck puts his arm around Sarah's shoulders and Sarah rests her head in the indentation between his chest and shoulder.

They return to Los Angeles and get back to the apartment. They say their goodbyes to Casey, not sure if he is sticking around much longer. Ellie sees Chuck, Sarah, and Morgan walking in the patio and runs out to meet them.

"Where did you guys go?" Ellie asks assertively like she always has. Devon aka Captain Awesome follows Ellie out to check up on Sarah and Chuck. Morgan slips into the front door and leaves it open.

"Just a little road trip," Chuck assures Ellie. As Chuck and Sarah look at Ellie and Devon, she notices the bruise on Sarah's face.

"What happened?" Ellie asks in scared concern.

Chuck looks at Sarah to see if she wants him to lie. He cannot read her face in time so he quickly lies, "I accidentally hit her with the door of the car."

Ellie examines Chuck for a second, "Charles Bartowski! You beat her?" Ellie says in disbelief. She saw through Chuck's lie because she has known him for way too long to not be able to tell.

"So not awesome," Devon adds in while shaking his head.

"Sarah quickly answers with, "You think he would be able to hit me?" Knowing that they know she is a spy, they think about it too.

"Then what happened? I know it wasn't the door of the car," Ellie expresses her concern and throws in some air quotes when she says 'door.'

"I didn't know she was right behind me; I quickly turned around and my elbow smacked her in the face," Chuck lies but it is somewhat true.

"Still not awesome," Devon tosses in. "You should be more careful." Ellie is still skeptical until Sarah confirms Chuck's explanation.

"Yes. I was going to sneak up behind him to give him a surprise kiss on the cheek and bam! I didn't see it coming," Sarah agrees with Chuck.

"You better get some ice on that," Ellie shows her motherly personality. Devon examines it a little closer.

"It is very superficial. All you need is ice," Devon agrees with Ellie. They are both doctors and know what to do.

"We're going to go inside and get some sleep," Chuck explains. "We'll see you guys tomorrow. See ya Sis. See ya Awesome."

"Goodnight Ellie and Devon," Sarah says after Chuck says his goodbyes.

"Good night guys," Awesome says.

"Goodnight and put some ice on that," Ellie explains, still concerned. Ellie and Devon start to walk back to their place.

"We will," Chuck hollers as he shuts the front door. Chuck grabs a frozen bag of peas as Sarah sits on the couch. Chuck sits next to her and puts the frozen peas to her face.

"I'm sorry. I really am," Chuck sympathizes her. Sarah takes the peas from Chuck's hand and presses it against her right cheek.

"I know. I just want to know what happened," Sarah expresses her concern for Chuck's well-being.

"I honestly can't tell you. I totally lost control. It was like when I took the pill a while back. I just felt so angry I couldn't stop myself." Chuck explains to the best of his abilities. Sarah doesn't know what to think of it. "If it is any consolation, I did notice it was you just before the punch. I just couldn't stop it in time."

"I'll be fine. I think I've been hurt more that that before," Sarah jokes. "Just promise me you will control your anger better."

"I will. Next time I start getting out of control like that stop me before I do something stupid."

"Like punching me in the face?" Sarah jokes.

"Yes, like that. I cannot forgive myself if I hurt someone I love," Chuck is totally serious. They lie on the couch watching TV. Morgan creeps in for a second to say goodnight.

"I'm just getting a snack, don't mind. I'm going to sleep, we had a long day. Goodnight guys," Morgan hollers from the kitchen area.

"Good night Morgan. Thanks for helping out," Chuck responds.

"Ah, no problem," Morgan blushes.

"Goodnight Morgan," Sarah fits in as Morgan walks towards his room. Chuck and Sarah lie on the couch relaxed. Sarah lies on Chuck's lap with the peas resting gently atop her right cheek. Chuck feels so relieved to have Sarah trust him again and he brushes her beautiful, natural blond hair off of the frozen peas. Sarah gestures that she enjoys Chuck's hand in her hair and Chuck starts lightly flowing his hand through her hair. She almost falls asleep after the tiresome day of seduction, espionage, and getting 'raped in the face.' Her eyes get heavy and she notices and jumps up quickly. The bag of peas falls on her lap and she picks it up. "Morgan's right, we had a long day. Lets go to sleep," Sarah gets up off the couch and heads for the bedroom; drops the peas on the table. "You coming?"

"I'll be there in a minute. Don't wait up," Chuck sincerely answers. Sarah gets ready for bed and lies in wait for Chuck. When Chuck is in total seclusion, he opens a drawer and pulls out an envelope. He pulls the letter out and it reads:

Let me start by saying how much I love you, son. I love Ellie, too. I really wish you never had to read this but I know that time will come or already came. Being a spy is dangerous and people die all the time. I want you to have a fulfilling life. Sarah is a great woman and you deserve her. I know it can be tough to date a spy, they don't know how to live a normal life. That is up to you to teach Sarah. She is the best influence on you and you need to listen to her. She knows what she is talking about. She is very smart, just like you. Together you guys can accomplish anything. I know I didn't want you to be a spy, but I understand why you did it. I was just like you, wanting to save lives and protect your country. Just be careful. I don't want to see you up here anytime soon. Make sure your sister is safe. Now you must protect her. She and Devon are under your protection and I know you didn't ask for it but it happened anyways. Please take care of your family, Sarah included. They all need you. You are the most important person in all their lives. I know you will live a great life that will be full of wonderful moments that you can finally accomplish with a great woman. Good bye Son, I love you and Ellie dearly.

Stephen J. Bartowski

Chuck holds the letter tightly to his chest; a tear seeps from his eye. He will never forget his father. Chuck puts the letter back into the envelope and back into the drawer. Chuck then gets up and puts the peas away in the freezer and walks into his bedroom.

Sarah is sleeping with the covers to her side. She tried to wait for Chuck but fell asleep. Sarah is lying there with her hair messy and sticking to parts of the pillow. She has a faint smile on her face and the swelling on her cheek decreased significantly. She is wearing Chuck's Tron shirt and blue underwear. This shirt has never looked so sexy on anyone else. Chuck almost has a nerdgasm after examining Sarah. Chuck stares at her in amazement. She is so beautiful that even the sunset would lose in a beauty contest. Chuck covers her sensually, making sure he doesn't wake her up. He hops on his computer real quick to check his email. He doesn't get many emails other than the occasional video game update or Facebook message from Morgan. He checks it and he has one new email. It doesn't show who sent it. Chuck cautiously opens it, as his curiosity gets him, and it is a video. He opens the video, wondering what it is, and it is security camera footage of that 'green' room. He watches it in shock as he sees himself striking Patricia in the face over and over as she sits there helpless and Sarah stands there like a statue. When he sees the punch to Sarah's face, he cringes. He is sickened by the sight of seeing Sarah getting hurt. He actually gets a little light-headed. After he comforts Sarah and they leave, the video turns black. It then reads:

I know who you are, Charles Irving Bartowski.
