Emma at the BuyMore - Chuck (a reminder for myself)

since I'm writing in a Chuck universe too and have a more specific backstory to make her fit in with most characters, I want to write some notes here for Chuck rpers (though I already have a different ‘went to high school together’ plot with a Chuck, but there Emma’s story is almost the same) but also for myself, which is: -general Beckman already got in contact with Emma before, her bounty hunter job making her see/hear too much by accident. The NSA couldn't make her disappear, she's too well known (rich family, in charge of a hospital at least financially, involved in too many charity organizations) so it was more convenient to make her more of an asset, since she isn't spy material but she can 1) fight well 2) given what she has proved in the past, be trusted with some specific assignments and to keep quiet 3) help them through her many contacts, lots of 'persuasion' power there

-they use her sometimes for missions that aren't too high profile/classified

-there is a new enemy in the Chuck universe that is stealing/recruiting assets from spy organizations and people who could be but are lost and easily manipulated

-she ends up colliding with Chuck or Morgan or someone else who knows about Chuck and once again hears too much (to justify why she's interacting with members of the team often enough for us to write threads) and/or the team is fighting an enemy she can truly help against. She's no killer, she's no liar, she's no 'detached spy who can put the mission before people' BUT she's someone who can absolutely convince the high risk assets they are losing to the enemy that they can come back from it, that they can make better choices. Basically instead of immediately killing people who are useful but are getting manipulated or forced to follow the bad guys, they try to recuperate them. She's not the best fighter they have, or the best anything, really, but she can definitely hold her own and more importantly she can make people want to take a chance which is very needed now.

-bonus if needed: Regina, her step-grandmother, could have been an important member of the Ring and have other people involved as well, so Emma is personally involved and motivated when it comes to stopping them, even if it means having to give less time to her other jobs and the people she normally helps to stop a greater threat, and Beckman is more motivated to trust her because Emma is the person who landed Regina in jail years before

note: everything can be changed depending on the other Chuck rper involved in these plots and what they don't think would work for their muse. if her abusive ex boyfriend isn’t a trigger for the other rper that can also become a plot point and make more things happen because Emma has been hunting him down for years 

note2: Emma is really enjoying working at BuyMore and think Jeffster are funny, would absolutely adore team Bartowski if they are written like in canon, including obviously Morgan and Chuck's entire family because why wouldn't she? She also fits well with the other employs because she's dumb as hell when it comes to challenges and doing 'funny things', and can use her bailsbond person job to justify bruises and weapons
