I've never seen Gossip Girl, so I just imagined Chuck as Draco from New York (which as far as I can tell he kind of is) and I love it. Your Tim is so spot on, letting Chuck think he's stupid with the not talking when he knows exactly what's going on from the get go. I love him and his inscrutable stoicism and his very organized shop ('cause IMO a mechanic that isn't organized can't be that good a mechanic). This almost makes me want to watch GG just for the Chuck bits. <3

PS: In the previous chapter, Jason is a paraplegic (two libs paralyzed not four).
