Chapter 1: Possibilities

Lucy and Wyatt stood in front of the large window in Agent Christopher's office, both deep in thought. Realization that the missions were complete began to set in and a sudden wave of sadness filled Lucy's heart. Was this the last time she would see him? After all, they had fulfilled their duty of helping end Rittenhouse, or so they thought.

"So what about you? You just go back to Pendleton and take up another mission?" she asked, dreading the answer she knew was coming.

"That's how it works." Wyatt replied, a look of sadness on his face. He honestly didn't want to go.

"Oh" Lucy mumbled. She knew this would happen eventually, she just didn't think it would be so soon. She looked up at Wyatt and said something that she knew he needed to hear. "Hey. Thank you. Thank you for everything.".

Wyatt looked back at her and simply nodded. "Ah, we'll stay in touch. I'll call you if I ever need a bossy know-it-all." he said, a playful tone to his voice.

"Yeah, I was thinking about texting you the next time that I need a reckless hothead" she replied, mirroring his playful tone.

"Sounds good." He replied, smiling down at her.

Lucy returned his smile, a small laugh escaping her lips. They stood in silence, trying to postpone the goodbye they knew was coming, before meeting in a hug. They stood there, embracing each other, Lucy laying her head down on Wyatt's strong shoulder.

While holding Lucy in his arms, Wyatt realized that he just couldn't do it. He couldn't leave her. Wyatt pulled away gently and looked down at Lucy.

"You know, maybe umm, maybe Pendleton can wait a little bit. You think I'm gonna miss the chance to help you get your sister? See what all this fuss is about?" he said, noticing the sudden sparkle in her eyes.

"I'm really sorry that you won't be able to get Jessica back." Lucy said, a pang of guilt running through her.

Throughout this journey, they had learned many things, but the one that hit home for Wyatt was that he needed to stop living in the past and move on.

"Maybe we do need to stop trying to fix the past and start looking at the present. Maybe I do need to be open to the possibilities." Wyatt stated

Lucy looked up at him, realizing that he was referring to what she had said during their visit to 1934.

"Possibilities of what?" she asked, trying not to read too much into it.

"I don't know." he replied, a small smile playing on his lips, "I just know I'm not really ready to say goodbye yet.".

The two stood there gazing at each other, trying to make sense of the feelings they kept hidden.

"Ah. The, uh, Lifeboat will be charged and ready to go in 3 hours my friends." stated Connor Mason as he entered the room.

Great timing, they both thought. A laugh escaped Lucy's lips as she turned back towards Wyatt.

"Will you tell Rufus I'll be back in an hour? There's just one thing I have to do first?" Lucy asked. Wyatt nodded in reply.

As Lucy started to walk away, Wyatt grabbed her arm and pulled her back towards him.

"Who am I kidding. I know exactly what possibility I want to explore." he said in a soft tone while gently stroking her cheek.

Lucy looked up at him, giving him the brightest smile he had ever seen and trying to hold back the happy tears. This smile gave him the courage to do what he had wanted to since they had gotten back from their Bonnie and Clyde adventure.

Wyatt took Lucy's face in his hands and kissed her. This kiss was unlike any either of them had experienced before. There was so much pent up emotion being released in this moment that they both felt like a weight had been lifted off their shoulders. They finally broke apart, foreheads pressed together, and looked at each other, tears spilling onto their now flushed cheeks.

"Wow" Lucy whispered.

"Yeah" replied Wyatt, a grin tugging at his mouth, "Now go get ready and let's find your sister!"

Full of excitement and hope, Lucy turned and made her way to the parking lot.
