Don't laugh, Casey

You Are a Chicken

You are a naturally curious and inquisitive being. You are often poking your nose where it doesn't belong!

Collecting nuggets of knowledge is important to you. You enjoy knowing everything you can.

You are very independent and strong willed. You don't like to be bossed around, and you do as you please.

You are quite determined and able to take on challenges. You will “peck away” at a problem until it's gone.

What Animal Are You?

He has many a lady friend, let me tell you. The flash I had on him was all about the ladies.

I'm still not a real spy.

Ando's a pervert and he gets all the girls, too. Well, at least more than I do.

Do you want to be a spy? I mean truly a spy.

Acting like that might get you a fling...but probably not a relationship.

I'm not...I'm not cut out to be one. I mean, yeah it seems kinda cool in one sense but...I dunno. I'd probably have to disappear, leave Ellie behind and Morgan too...

You are right, but then I do not think Ando is very ready for marriage or a long-term relationship.

*He thinks for a moment.* Do you want to be a programmer? Are you willing to move to New York?

Maybe not now, but...maybe someday.

I do wanna be a programmer. Why do you ask?

I think if he met the right girl he would marry in a heartbeat. He just has not met the right girl.

Come work for my company. Programmers are always needed.

Well, hopefully he'll find her someday.

*smiles* Now that would be great!

*thinks for a moment* But...I dunno if I could. The CIA seemed to have set up at lot of stuff in LA recently. It's kinda like both agencies plan on staying for awhile...

I probably can't just up and leave like that...as much as I'd love to...

I hope he does, too. He will be very happy to be married man, I think.

I do not think they would let you go as long as you are the Intercept. But, when you are free of it and, if you have not taken up a career as a spy, think abut it.

*smiles*

No, as long as I'm the Intersect... *sighs*

But thank you for the offer. I'll keep it in mind.

Do you feel like your life is on hold, Chuck?

*nods* I do.

I thought at least maybe...you know, Sarah and I could get together but...something happened that changed that. I didn't want to say that to her but I was worried about her.

What happened?

This is going to take some backstory. You remember how I mentioned Bryce before, right?

*Hiro nods.* He was horrible to you. A very bad friend. And he told your school you were cheating when you were not. He is also the one that made sure the Intercept was downloaded into your head.

That's him all right. I asked Sarah if it was okay if I told you this and she said it was all right.

I found out something about Bryce...something that kinda changed things. While on a mission, Sarah and I discovered this disk with a bunch of CIA files on it. And there was one with my name on it. I clicked on it and it was of Bryce telling my professor that the CIA shouldn't recruit me because he was afraid I'd die in the field. My professor said my test results on the subliminal image test were so good the CIA had to find out and that I'd be very valuable for the Omaha Project...whatever that was. So Bryce came up with a plan that he'd report me for cheating so that my results would be invalidated and so I wouldn't be recruited after all. So...by lying, he sorta rescued me then. Sarah made me promise I wouldn't tell anyone about that file. Not even Casey knows...so, don't say anything, okay?

Anyway, after Bryce sent me the Intersect, we did think he was killed by Casey. But it turned out...Fulcrum kept him alive to find out more about what he did with the Intersect. He told me the plans to destroy the first one were part of a mission and that he was here to protect me from Fulcrum and all. And he did. But then he went back undercover to stop Fulcrum and he came back again.

I was going to visit Sarah and Bryce was at her apartment. They worked together before and he was telling her about a mission to recover a device that had the new Intersect files on it. So Casey and I joined on the mission. And at one point, a Fulcrum agent held me at gunpoint. Bryce made a move to pretend to surrender, handing over his gun and the Intersect device over. He signaled to Sarah to shoot the Fulcrum agent but Sarah couldn't do it.

Casey ended up shooting the agent, actually.

So...later on...Bryce talked to me. He said he thought Sarah couldn't take the shot because she liked me too much and that her feelings for me almost cost me my life and the device.

I...was worried for Sarah. I...*sighs* didn't want her to be hurt because of me. So...I told her... *looks down for a moment*

I told her she was an amazing person but that we couldn't have a real relationship because I was just a normal guy who wants a normal life and she would be this great agent off saving the world and...

I sorta broke up with her to save her.

*Sits down hard.* Oh, Chuck, I am so sorry to hear this. But you really still love her, do you not?

And Casey will hear nothing from me about any of this.

*sits down next to Hiro looking crestfallen* I do, Hiro. It hurt so much to say that. But I didn't...I couldn't have her...

I couldn't have her getting hurt or...worse, killed, *swallows* be-because of me.

Thanks Hiro, for keeping this secret too.

That is hard - protecting the one you love even from yourself. That is true love, Chuck.

I finally told Jack about my ability.

I hope...that someday...she understands. *his lip quivers slightly*

*tries to calm down a bit* You-you did? How did he take it?

That would be good. I still think you two belong together, but I know what it feels like to love someone whom you have to leave behind. Time separated Yaeko and me. There may be a time in the future that you and Sarah can be together. It just is not right now.

I am not certain if he believes me, though he knows it explains much. He knows nothing about you, I made certain of that. Of course, if he asks me if you know, I will tell him you do. I just do not know how to explain it that does not sound like he is less of a friend unless he just accepts a yes/no answer.

*nods sadly* And the only way you could be with her would be to live in the past or bring her to the future. But doing either would probably change a lot...

I hope someday Sarah and I can be together...with no covers and no lies. *sighs*

Did you show Jack what you could do like you showed me? Just wondering if he got to see what you can do with his own eyes yet.

And, well...maybe you don't have to tell him exactly when you told me. But if he asks...well, I think you've known me a little longer than you've known Jack, right?

*Hiro nods.* She needed to be in the past to make sure Kensei's story was told. I could not stay there because I could have changed even more than I possibly did.

I hope so, too.

Yes, I did show him. It is always the easiest and irrefutable way to show my ability. It is hard to argue when I can disappear from right in front of you to some distance away.

True, I have known you longer than I have known him.

*nods sadly* Yeah. And even after Kensei's tale was complete...well, taking her to the future would still be a tricky thing. After all, if she had children in normal history, that line might not exist if you brought her to the future.

Yeah, like how you showed me!

When did you first meet Jack? I first met him about a year ago. And you I met...pretty much a year ago too.

It would have been my line. She married into the Nakamura clan.

I think I met Jack about 7 months ago. You mentioned him before that, though.

Oh! Well then you definitely couldn't have moved her out of time. Then you might cease to exist!

Yeah. I met Jack a couple of weeks before I met you, actually.
