A/N: I was minding my own business and saw a prompt on Facebook asking what would happen if Mary took Chuck with her when she joined Volkoff. Of course, you know my mind throwing 72 ideas at me. So here's a one shot to give you an idea of what I thought up of how that adventure might begin.
Disclaimer: I don't own Chuck
"There they are," she said into her headset.
"Okay, now, here's the thing, Jenny… I'm going to need you to quietly take out the guards, and then-"
"It's done, Morgan," Jenny replied, a smirk on her face.
"Damn, you're good," Morgan said into the mike. "John, how are we looking on your end? John? John?"
"Casey, will you answer him?" Jenny asked.
"I told the troll to call me Casey." Morgan and Jenny both grinned at the growl that accompanied his checking in over the mikes.
"Is there any chance the three of you can be professional about this?" Orion asked from his home in California.
"You're the one that insisted I bring along the Bobbsey Twins," Casey groused. "Why do we need her? Does that make me the brains of this outfit?"
"You're really funny, Casey, and it's cute you find me a beauty, but you're more the tank for this raid," Jenny replied.
"Jenny, you keep saying things like that, and you're gonna make me take your pillow to the prom next time," Morgan said dreamily.
"Morgs, I've told you… we're friends, that's it. And also, you're way too old to be going to the prom," Jenny whispered as she got near the control room.
"Hey, you've got a bogey-"
"Got it, and thanks," Jenny replied, taking out the last guard.
"Anytime… and you know that Ellie's pillow is the only one for me."
"But do I?" Jenny asked, slipping to the control panel. "Orion, I'm in, and-" She fell silent, as the flash began. Once it was over, she shook her head. "I got the code, logging in now."
"How the hell did you get the code, Burton?" Casey asked.
"Hush, I need to concentrate," she said. "Need to know." She grinned at the grunt.
She plugged in a USB, which was mirroring what she was seeing back to Orion. She paused at one of the monitors. She laid her hand on the monitor for a moment. There he was, dressed in all black, short cut hair, a hard look on his face… no, a determined look on his face. A look she had seen before on his father. A look that said he would do anything for love. She saw the brunette that was with him, that snaked her arm around him as they watched their crew break into the vault. He didn't push her away, but there was no joy there. "Are you seeing this, Orion?"
"Yes," came the voice, thick with emotion. "That's Volkoff's daughter with him."
"Doesn't seem really happy, does he?" Jenny asked, feeling something in the pit of her stomach.
"No… no, he doesn't," Orion admitted. "Jenny, give me a check on your governor."
She looked down at what appeared to be a wrist watch. The green light in the corner was on. "It's green," she replied.
"Good. When you get back, let's swap it out for a fresh one," Stephen said.
She knew what he was doing. He was talking about anything, anything other than what she was watching. She had never met him, but she'd seen videos of him as a young boy. She had seen pictures, and something… something about him… moved her. The smile he had in those pictures, they… they reminded her of a happy time in her life; before she realized what she was doing, before Stephen had saved her from the CIA life. She was the Intersect, but she had family. Stephen was the father she had always wanted. There were stories about him, about how he was close to going off the deep end. She had asked him about those, and he admitted he probably would have, if it wasn't for the governor, and him focusing on saving his family.
"Jenny, you okay? Your heartrate is spiking," came the strong baritone tones of the man she called Captain Awesome. "You're staring at his butt, aren't you?"
She burst into laughter. "Awesome, you need to quit."
"No, you need to quit drooling over that boy," Awesome retorted.
"That is my son, you two," Orion stated dryly, but they all knew he wasn't really upset.
"Burton, they're coming your way," Casey snapped, pulling her out of her thoughts. She looked around, saw them coming up the hallway, and knew if she went for the vent, she'd be caught. She hid, but knew if anyone came inside they'd see her.
"I need to check the security booth and erase the tapes," she heard him say.
"Why? Daddy's paid them." the brunette from earlier replied.
"Rather safe than sorry," he replied, and the door opened. She heard footsteps go down the hall, as Jenny hid under the desk. He saw the guard on the ground and pulled his gun. Jenny stared at the gun. There was something… funny, about it. He looked around the room and his eyes settled on her hiding spot. He pointed the gun towards her spot. "Come out, hands up, now."
The tone was harsh, but she felt it was… forced. She came out, her hands up. He studied her for a moment, and stared at her. "Do you work for him?" he asked softly. Her eyebrows raised. "Orion?" She nodded. He reached into his pocket, and handed her a flash drive. "Volkoff has a shipment going out this week. He needs to be stopped."
"What are you doing?" Jenny asked.
"Tell him… tell him I'm protecting my mother. Something he should have done." There was venom in his voice. "Tell him he needs to save her, and Ellie. TELL HIM!" he hissed. He waved the gun toward the her hiding spot.
"I will," she said softly, and she saw him soften. "He's… he's sorry for what happened."
"Not as sorry as I am," Chuck replied, waving her to her hiding spot again. Jenny went back under the desk, and she heard him walk away.
"We've got to save them," she heard Orion say, anguish in his voice. Jenny nodded. She would save him, the way Orion saved her. She owed him that.
A/N: Lots to explore in there, but there's my pilot of the TV show Jenny, featuring Jenny having an Intersect. Hope you enjoyed it. (Also, if you see a Sarah, let me know, the mind, it wants to type Sarah)
