Hey guys! So this is the first chapter in a story that I had hoped would be done before today but it probably won't be unless I can finish the second chapter quickly. I will be watching the new episode tonight but this story will be my own version of the episode and my version of season two. More notes at the end. I hope you enjoy this first chapter!
She knew. Agent Christopher knew...and it had been Rufus who had told her. Both Lucy and Wyatt had been relieved that Rufus had told Agent Christopher all they knew about Rittenhouse and in return she had told them about Connor Mason. Together the four of them had figured out that it was Rittenhouse who had funded Connor Mason's time machine project. Why they had funded Connor Mason's project had yet to be discovered but Lucy now had an understanding as to why their team had been formed.
Lucy had a working theory going on. Rittenhouse had for some reason given Connor Mason the money he needed to fund his project, Flynn then stole the time machine, Rittenhouse knew that Flynn held a grudge against them and would try to destroy them from the past, therefore, they assembled the team of Lucy, Wyatt, and Rufus to go back in time to stop Flynn. That's why they were now working together so they could stop Flynn and save Rittenhouse. If Lucy was right then they were really helping Rittenhouse. The four of them had concluded that Rittenhouse was a larger threat then Flynn but if Lucy was right, by going back in time and stopping Flynn, they were actually Rittenhouse.
What Lucy had yet to figure out though, was why Rittenhouse had funded Connor Mason's project in the first place. If Rittenhouse did have eyes and ears everywhere then they would've known that creating that time machine was a threat to them. Maybe Rittenhouse funded the project so they could go back in time and fix some mistake they made...although, Rittenhouse had probably made many mistakes. Then again maybe Lucy was wrong, maybe Flynn was the bad guy, maybe Rittenhouse didn't know any of this was going to happen, maybe-
"Lucy?"
Lucy looked up at the sound of Agent Christopher's voice to see the concerned faces of Agent Christopher, Rufus, and Wyatt. She had gotten so swept away in her thoughts that she had completely forgotten that she wasn't eating alone. After Rufus had told Agent Christopher about Rittenhouse he had called Wyatt and Lucy and they had decided to meat up at Agent Christopher's house the next day to talk and eat breakfast. Lucy swallowed the piece of food in her mouth and answered.
"I'm sorry, what were you saying?"
She saw Agent Christopher glance at the others then back at Lucy she opened her mouth but whatever she had been about to say was cut off by the sound of four phones going off at once. Without looking at their phones all four new immediately it was Connor Mason and all glanced at each other before slowly getting up and running towards the door...except for Lucy. Lucy didn't get up like the others did, instead she hesitated.
What if she was right? How could she get up and run out the doors with the others if she was helping Rittenhouse? Of course it had pretty much already been established that they were working for Rittenhouse after Rufus told them what he knew, but it hadn't really hit her like this before. She had known but she hadn't really had the time to just sit down and think about it. While the others seemed like content to continue like this while the gathered more information about Rittenhouse Lucy wasn't. She wanted to know who she was working for and why. For all they knew this could be the mission that mattered, this mission could be the one where Rittenhouse wins and Flynn looses.
They could catch Flynn this time...but was that really what the right thing to do was? Was Flynn really their enemy? Wyatt seemed content to just keep shooting at the man but right now Lucy wondered if that was the right thing to do.
So Lucy didn't get up with the others, she remained sitting, she stared at her phone, and she didn't move.
"Lucy? You coming?"
That was Wyatt...Wyatt. That was another thing that Lucy needed to figure out. What was her relationship with Wyatt? That kiss had made interactions between them awkward but they had both agreed that it didn't mean anything...right?
Why was this so confusing?
She shook her head and put her phone away. Slowly she stood up and walked towards the door in a daze. Lucy felt a hand on her shoulder and when she looked at the owner of the hand she found Wyatt. She stared at him for a moment with a blank look on her face. He stared back with a concerned look.
"You alright?" he asked her in a small voice.
Lucy managed a small fake smile, "Yeah...yeah I'm fine."
"You two coming or what?"
Lucy turned to see Rufus getting into his car and she nodded, "Yeah we're coming."
Without another look at Wyatt she walked towards her car and got in. Gripping the wheel she slowly drove away trying to keep a calm composure as she drove to Mason Industries with Agent Christopher far ahead of her and the others close behind.
Later on Lucy would admit that as she drove to Mason Industries she had a feeling deep inside of her that this mission would be the mission that changed it all and later on that feeling would prove to be true...
I hope you liked this beginning. Basically this story is my version of tonight's episode (since it hasn't aired yet) and my version of the rest of the series. My main focus during this story will be Lucy but I in later chapters I may try to show the story from other characters point of view. Also whatever happens during tonight's episode will probably be ignored in this story.
