Edge of History

A/N: Timeless is just the best show right now and I for one just can't wait to see how the season ends! How are they going to give us answers and tie up all these amazing plotlines in just three more episodes? I have no idea but I'm confident the writers will not lead us wrong, the writing / storytelling (and of course the acting!) have been so great so far.

But anyways, this is my kind take on some sort of possible ending but with a bit more time travel thoughts/ twist than we've maybe had/will be getting and a bit more lyatt focus! Because they're my babies and it hurts me to see them hurting (while also being totally clueless). I can't wait for Wyatt to figure out who he wants and for Lucy to maybe actually admit both to herself and Wyatt what she wants.

CHAPTER ONE - Nothing Too Bad

*Jessica*

"I signed the divorce papers," Wyatt told her, handing her the envelope with the documents.

"Thank you." She was relieved, even though she knew she shouldn't be. But it had been harder than she'd thought being back with him, even though she knew why it was necessary. "I knew you would. I hoped, for a little bit. But it was..."

"It's not our destiny to be together," he agreed.

Jessica looked up, a small but confused smile on her face. "Since when do you believe in destiny? I thought fate and meant-to-bes wasn't your thing." He shrugged and her smile turned real. "Lucy?"

"Yes," he agreed after a few seconds.

"Did you tell me or her first?" She held up the envelope with the divorce papers.

"You're my wife," he said and she nodded. If nothing else, Wyatt Logan was honorable. At least this version of him was.

"I'm happy for you Wyatt," she told him. And meant it. "I like Lucy. But I hope she makes you growel a little."

But mostly Jessica was just glad to no longer be part a love triangle she'd had no interest in being part of. Now that part was done and she still had full access to the bunker. That was just what she wanted.

"She-"

But before he could finish whatever he was going to say the blaring sound of the siren going off -the Mothership had jumped - interrupted them.

*Rufus*

"October 5, 1892. Kansas," Rufus said, double checking to make sure he had it right then turning to Jiya. "That's cowboy times."

They exchanged nervous looks. Ever since accepting that Jiya's dreams were more than just dreams, he'd been dreading this moment.

"Cowboy times?" Mason said, nodding, not knowing the significance of it. "Yes. You're right."

"You can't go," Jiya said, reaching over and grabbing Rufus' hand.

"What we got?" Agent Christopher called, hurrying over to them Lucy and Flynn right behind her.

"October 5, 1892. Middle of nowhere Kansas," Rufus said after breaking eye contact with Jiya.

"What happened October 5th, 1892?" Agent Christopher turned to Lucy.

"I have no idea," Lucy said, glancing around at them with a startled expression on her face. Lucy was not used to not knowing and it was clearly bothering her. "October 12th, 1892 is the 400th anniversary Columbus Day. It was the year Thomas Edison received a patent for a two way telegraph but October 5th…."

"I'll search for it," Mason said, just as Wyatt - followed by Jessica - joined the gang. Wyatt was looking happy and so was Jessica. Which was new, since mostly the vibes all around the Bunker had been anything but happy for the last few weeks. "Right. Here we are. On October 5th, the infamous Dalton Gang were taken down while attempting to rob a bank in Coffeyville, Kansas."

"Right," Lucy said, but frowned as Mason handed her the tablet to scan the article. "The Dalton Gang was a gang of three brothers. They started out as law-men but then turned to a life of crime. But..." She glanced around. "In my timeline, they were captured in May of that year."

"So you're saying something has already changed? And if it has, how can you remember the way it was while the internet says something else?" Jiya asked.

"And why send someone back if they've already had a sleep changing things?" Wyatt asked, taking a step closer to Lucy.

Who took a step to the side, which in turn made Flynn smirk.

They're still doing that? Rufus though, wondering just what was going on with the trio.

He really should have talked to them but everything with Jiya and her visions had been taking up his time. And Rufus had never really had a lot of heart to hearts about feelings with anyone. He'd mostly just talked computers and programming and Star Wars with his friends in the past.

"They're there, so let's stop speculating and get going!" Agent Christopher said.

"Before history has a chance to change again without anyone realizing," Lucy muttered, still studying the information on the tablet.

"You can't go," Jiya whispered to Rufus as he stood, grabbing his wrist.

"I have to, I'm the only pilot," he whispered back to her. "Besides, you saw me by the Ocean. No Ocean in Kansas. So it's not this trip-"

She grabbed him and kissed him. "If you see cowboys with yellow teeth or-"

"Anything remotely like your vision I will go right back to the lifeboat and no move a muscle, okay?" he said, then leaned in to kiss her again.

"Chop-chop," Flynn said cheerfully interrupting them.

Rufus tried not to think about the fact that there was a slight possibility this was last time he'd ever see Jiya as he followed Flynn to the Lifeboat. But he was the pilot. If he didn't do this, Rittenhouse would change yet another thing, taking the world one step closer something he didn't even want to think about.

Besides this was most likely not be the trip he died.

No. It would not be today.

He would come back.

"Hey, cheer up kids," Flynn said and Rufus noticed he was not the only of their foursome that seemed to be in a tense mood.

Wyatt staring at Lucy like she was the most fascinating thing in the world (so pretty much what he always did, except he seemed a little bit less tortured than normal.) Lucy was looking concerned, perhaps about her history knowledge having been wrong… or at least wrong for this timeline they were in.

Rufus wasn't sure what that meant. How could the timeline have changed for the world, but not them? Had the Mothership jumped twice, like with Jessica? But there had been no readings or anything. Maybe she'd just miss-remember. But he knew that was unlikely. So all he could do was hoped it didn't mean anything too bad was about to go down...

Hope you liked! And reviews make my day!
