It’s been eight years since that one magical kiss on the beach.
Chuck and Sarah retired from the spy life and moved into that little house with a red door and a white picket fence. Nine months after that day on the beach, nearly to the day, their daughter, Stephanie “Stevie” Leia Bartowski was born. Now seven, she’s just as clever as the man she was named after, geeky as her middle name promises, and brave as all those who share her last name.
With most of their fortune gone, Chuck and Sarah used what they had - government contacts - to turn Carmichael Industries into a software company, specializing in security. They have several government contracts, but that is as far as their involvement with the spy community extended…
Until Stevie is kidnapped, held by an unknown organization they've come to call "the Shadows", based off her description of the men who took her. Dusting off their spy gear, Chuck and Sarah save their daughter but realize that they have two choices - disappear and say goodbye to the life they built or turn Carmichael Industries back into an independent spy organization.
Fortunately, Castle still resides under what used to be the Buy More and is now Classified Comics, the largest comic and fandom store in Southern California, run by none other than Mr. Morgan Grimes. With Morgan as their part-time baby-sitter and part-time guy in the chair, Chuck and Sarah set out to discover the identity of the Shadows, spies once more.
It’s a good thing
Chuck still knows Kung Fu!
This verse is set in 2020 and beyond.
Stevie was conceived shortly before Sarah lost her memories, and Sarah realized she was pregnant while she was still regaining them.
Luke was born midway through their investigation into the Shadows.
Morgan babysits Stevie when Chuck and Sarah are on a mission. They don’t think she knows that they’re spies, but she’s figured it out.
Casey isn’t technically a member of Carmichael Industries, but helps them with their investigation when he can.
Chuck’s version of the Intersect is very out of date, but still contains physical and skill Flashes that come in handy. Otherwise, they have to investigate far more than before, and Chuck’s hacking skills often come into play.
The Bartowskis have a small, shaggy dog named Sandy (Sandworm). He digs a lot. Stevie asked for him after they learned that they were expecting Luke.
Who are the Shadows? Open the Classified File!
For reference, Stephanie’s FC is Millie Bobby Brown.
There's both a fixed version of this verse (see above) and an evolving one which follows the development of my threads with brokenspy. I default to the evolving version, and please tell me if you'd prefer the interaction take place in the fixed version. *Luke and Emma are only in the evolving version.
