"I send you there undercover and you not only nearly expose Mr. Bartowski to FULCRUM but to an entire cul-de-sac of civilians?" Beckman yelled at you all as you all sat in Castle.

"No excuses, General, we pooched it." Casey said.

" No. No, we didn't pooch it. We didn't pooch it. General, look, I-I saw something on that computer, okay? I saw... pictures." Chuck explained.

" How illuminating."

"General, they weren't regular pictures. They were like Intersect pictures, embedded files, like the ones that Bryce sent me, only... very different."

"We think Chuck could have FULCRUM programming in his brain." Sarah said.

"And you Ms. L/N?"

"Oh! No. No Fulcrum stuff in here." you told her, pointing at your head.

"In that case, I'm pulling Mr. Bartowski from this operation. But as long as Ms. L/N's cover is intact, I want you two to lock down the cul-de-sac, monitor FULCRUM, see what else you can uncover before we make a move on their cell. The Carmichaels are getting a divorce."

You and Chuck looked at each other and were shocked and a little sad.

You were sitting in the house with Sarah.

"Y/N, I just need to go see Casey for a few. I'll be right back." Sarah told you before leaving.

Chuck then called you and you answered real quick.

"Hey! Please tell me you're coming back to the house. I know we are fake divorced but we are still dating for real."

"Y/N! Baby! Listen to me. You have to get out of there. Okay? You, Sarah and Casey have to get out of the cul-de-sac immediately... I just flashed, I just flashed on something. I think it was FULCRUM... it was something that I... I uploaded off the computer, okay."

"What?"

"The company that built the neighborhood is a front. It's not just a house. The entire neighborhood is FULCRUM."

"Oh my God..."

You then heard the doorbell.

"Someone is here Chuck and Sarah left. It could be her though. She may have forgotten her key."

"Just be careful."

You slowly walked over to the door and opened the door. It was a neighbor.

"I'm so sorry about what happened with your husband. It must have been awful. It's times like these you need your neighbors most." She told you, handing you a tray of brownies.

"Oh. Thank you."

You didn't want to let her in so she ended up pushing you back in, gun pointed at you, Sylvia then showing up behind you, doing the same thing. You ended up dropping your phone.

"Y/N? Y/N! What's happening? Y/N!" you could hear Chuck shout.

You ended up being taken at a Fulcrum facility and handcuffed you to a chair. You saw they had Chuck strapped to a chair and something attached around his head. He was slowly waking up.

"Y/N? Where's Y/N? Y/N? Where's my wife?" Chuck called out.

"Mr. Carmichael, she isn't your wife. She's a CIA agent. And so are you." Sylvia told him.

"Wha... What do you want with me?"

" You have got a very special brain. Don't worry. We're going to do everything we can to not damage it ." Brad told him.

"Damage? Damage? What is he talking about?"

"What you saw upstairs was a small part of a computer program. The CIA designed it to implant intelligence directly into agents through encoded images." Sylvia told him.

" But the CIA gave up on the program. They decided to slug it out, fighting the war on terror using Cold War tactics." Brad jumped in.

" But we're training agents who are ready to fight tomorrow's wars."

" How would you like to be a part of that future?"

"How would you like to be part of FULCRUM?"

"What about... What about her?" Chuck asked, looking over at you. "Look, I'll do whatever you want, just let her go."

" Don't tell me you have feelings for your partner?" Sylvia asked.

"Boy, you really let her get into your head, huh?"

" What did she tell you? That someday you two would be together? Maybe settle down in a cute little cul-de-sac like this one?"

" You're funny."

" This place isn't real. Her feelings for you aren't real."

" Don't worry. This next part should help you get over her. If he survives it."

"That's where you are all wrong." Chuck told them before they got him ready for the test.

They were all set to start the test on him and you were forced to watch.

"Chuck!" you yelled.

"He can't hear you." Sylvia said.

"You know you were both absolutely wrong. I love Chuck. We've been together for 2 years now."

"Oh! Well this just made it more fun."

They all then put sunglasses on for protection and did the same to you.

You watched in fear as they put Chuck through the test. It must have been the same test that Chuck accidentally found.

Once it was done, the lights went out and then they uncuffed you and grabbed you as they brought you into the same room where Chuck was in. Chuck was sitting there very still and you began to panic.

"Oh my God. Chuck!"

They quickly checked on him and began to think he didn't survive the test.

"Oh, he's toast."

"Chuck!" you cried out again.

" Get him out of here. Dump him where you dumped the others."

When they began to unhook him he all of a sudden screamed.

" What just happened?" Chuck asked.

" Mr. Carmichael. Do you know where you are, Mr. Carmichael?" Sylvia asked.

"Beneath Meadow Branch subdivision in a FULCRUM lab that was built as part of a secret initiative." Chuck answered. But he didn't sound like himself. He almost sounded like a robot.

" What initiative?"

" To rebuild the Intersect computer."

" Oh, my God, it worked." Brad said.

"No." you said, trying to pull away from the two agents holding you but they had a good grip on you.

" Can I ask just one more question?" Sylvia asked. "You mind if we, uh, test your wife next"

"Wife? I don't have a wife."

You wanted to cry. Sure you weren't actually married, just dating, but the fact that Chuck may not know who you are anymore killed you.

Chuck got out of the chair and the agents brought you over to the chair and strapped you in now.

Little did you know, Casey and Sarah snuck in to the room where they controlled the test. Chuck saw them and gave them a wink.

"Before you run the test, I'd like to tell Agent L/N something." Chuck said.

"Agent L/N. Now we have a name." Sylvia said.

You looked up at Chuck with tears in your eyes. Chuck slowly bent down close in front of you.

"Close your eyes." Chuck said quietly to you.

You looked at him confused then looked across the room and saw Casey and Sarah, both with sunglasses on and about to start the test.

You quickly closed your eyes and then Chuck pulled you in close as soon as the test began. You shut your eyes even tighter and buried your face in Chuck's neck and he did the same with you.

The Fulcrum agents who were in the room with you all either died or were very messed up now.

You stayed like that until the test was all done. As soon as you knew it was safe you slowly lifted your heads and Chuck cupped your face.

"Baby, are you okay?" Chuck asked you.

"Yeah. You?"

"Yeah."

Chuck quickly got you out of the straps and then you stood up and hugged him tight.

"I thought I lost you there."

"I'm right here Y/NN. I'm okay." Chuck told you, turning his head a little to kiss your temple.

Casey and Sarah then came walking and you both turned to look over.

"Someone call the cable company?" Casey joked.

The next day, you and Chuck were hanging around Orange Orange, waiting for Sarah to come up.

You both were resting against the counter when you heard the door open and Sarah walked out.

"Hey, everything okay?" you asked.

" Yeah, just a routine debriefing."

" Uh, so Y/N and I were wondering if we could swing by the old cul-de-sac tonight." Chuck started.

" Why?" Sarah asked, confused.

" Uh, I don't know, I mean, I... you know, I figured we've still got the place, and Ellie still thinks we're house-sitting, so I thought that, you know, we could maybe enjoy a night in the suburbs, order in, rent a movie. No mission to worry about, just Mr. and Mrs. Carmichael. Maybe have some fun."

"We could really use it after all that." you added.

" Chuck, you guys can't go back there. It was just a cover."

" Yeah, we know that, we just thought that..."

" Casey and I have to shut down the operation. Can we talk later?"

" Absolutely." you said, as you and Chuck began to walk off.

" Uh, guys?"

"Yeah."

"I'm going to need those back." Sarah said, pointing at the wedding rings.

"Right" Chuck said, beginning to take his off.

"Almost forgot." you said, doing the same thing.

You looked at each other then handed Sarah the rings.

You and Chuck went back to his place, suitcases in hand.

"Hey! House-sitting really changes things, huh?" Ellie greeted when she looked over and saw you both.

"Absolutely." Chuck said.

"Listen Ellie, we are super beat right now. We are just going to go upstairs and nap and we will talk all about it later. Promise." you told her.

"Sounds like a plan."

You and Chuck smiled at her and then headed upstairs.

"Sooo.... after these past few days what do you think?" you asked, as you went to sit down on his bed.

"About what?"

"About you and me...having a place of our own one day?"

Chuck smiled at you and sat down beside you.

"Definitely in the cards. Just as long as we don't move to a place where our neighbors are a bunch of evil spies."

"Of course!" you said , laughing a little.

"No but seriously. I do want that for us one day. Hopefully soon. It may take some time."

"Right, with our jobs and everything and not making the greatest money."

"Yeah."

"But I think if we work hard, and save, it could definitely happen soon." you said, looking at him and smiling warmly.

"Absolutely." Chuck said, smiling back at you and then he leaned in to kiss you.
