Hi! So here is chapter 2! Like I said before, this takes place after the Watergate episode so any other mission after that never happened.

I hope you enjoy

Chapter 2: A New Mission

Lucy and Wyatt arrived together half an hour later at Mason's industry. Rufus was already there, talking animatedly with Jiya.

When he spotted his colleagues, a broad mischievous smile graced his features, "I heard two people were together at 5 AM this morning," said Rufus on a sing-song voice.

Lucy blushed a dark shade of crimson while Wyatt's face turned white," How do you know that?" he asked.

Rufus simply exchanged a knowing glance with Jiya.

"You know what, never mind, it's not what you think anyway," said Wyatt trying to regain his composure.

"Oh no? And what am I thinking," added Rufus with a joking tone.

"I went to Lucy's house to say sorry, I couldn't sleep. And I want to apologize to you too for, you know," said Wyatt not wanting to talk about Rittenhouse and the fact that he and Lucy now knew they were being recorded by Rufus, in case anyone was listening.

Rufus eyes showed understanding and he simply patted Wyatt on the shoulder, "Thank you Wyatt, and I'm sorry again,"

"All right people! We have a date!" said Jiya cutting them off as she noticed an alert on her computer, alerting agent Christopher and Mason in the process.

"October 20 1929, New-York," she stated.

"Oh my god," gasped Lucy,

"What?" asked Mason,

"Weren't you listening in history Mr Mason," asked Agent Cristopher.

"It's four days before the black Thursday!" said Lucy with a panic voice,

"Isn't it black Friday?" asked Mason still clueless about what was happening,

Wyatt rolled his eyes. He wasn't a history buff like Lucy, but still, he paid some attention in high school and knew the basic things about the history of his country.

"We aren't talking about sales at Macys Mr Mason," said Agent Christopher with a voice full of exasperation.

"In 1929, there was the Krach, you know, the big crisis with the New-York Stock Exchange," added Lucy not believing how people could be clueless sometimes.

"Yeah! I remember!" finally said Mason.

"Anyway, why would Flynn alter that? It was already a big catastrophe as it was, wasn't it?" asked Wyatt

"Yeah… I mean it took years for America to get over it, and it wasn't really a problem solved until World War II!" said Lucy half lost in thoughts and trying to understand what was so important to Flynn in that period of time.

"I don't see the point for Flynn to alter that time line if he wants to hurt America?" said Agent Christopher really confused.

"Maybe he wants to prevent it?" suggested Rufus.

"Why would he do such a hero act?" asked Mason before Lucy gasped.

"No, Rufus is right! The Krach fueled a lot of improvements, not only in America but all over the world. It changed the whole system and it is what prevented us from suffering of a much worse economic crisis pretty recently! If Flynn saves that day, who knows what could change! And with the Krach came the New Deal and the first time the government acted to help his citizens with social laws and everything. It took this to improve the services given to the Americans. If it doesn't happen, a hell lot could happen later on!" finished Lucy in a breath.

"Okay people, let's not lose any more time," said Agent Christopher, "We'll get the lifeboat ready, now go get changed," she added motioning towards the wardrobe and the three time travelers followed her order.

Lucy inwardly smiled at the idea of dressing up in 1920's clothes. She knew that the reason why she was putting on those clothes was extremely serious and nowhere near fun, but the 20's fashion had always fascinated her. She sometimes wished people were still wearing flapper dresses and long pearls necklaces. She picked one of a pale shade of pink that she immediately fell in love with and put it on with hidden joy.

The part Wyatt hated the most about their missions was the stupid dressing up. He hated to put on some ridiculous pieces of clothing from the past. High socks and straps were a nightmare for him. People from other eras certainly didn't know anything about comfort!

However, that day, when he saw Lucy coming out in a mid-caves pink dress, he suddenly forgot why he always hated to put on costumes. She was absolutely stunning in her 1920's dress. And he could tell from the way she was trying to hide her smile that she was also really pleased to have the opportunity to wear such an attire.

"Wow, you really look great Lucy," he said with a breath.

"Thank you," replied Lucy looking down at the floor, blushing.

"Come on you two, let's go," said Rufus coldly passing by Lucy and Wyatt.

"Why are you such in a bad mood?" Wyatt shouted at his colleague who was getting into the lifeboat already.

Rufus simply turned towards Wyatt with a look of pure disbelief and motioned at his legs with huge movements; "White pants! Haven't you noticed? I'm wearing freaking white pants!" Rufus said with despair. "I look stupid!" he stated once more before getting into the lifeboat for good.

Lucy and Wyatt looked at each other and puffed. They could always count on Rufus to entertain their journeys!

Wyatt hoped into the lifeboat right after Rufus and then helped Lucy into it.

He sat and buckled himself in, before noticing that once again Lucy had trouble with her restraints. He chuckled softly before bending over to help her.

Lucy let out a small chuckle as she saw Wyatt trying to buckle her in, "I'm sorry, I can never get to handle these!" she said with a guilty smile.

"No worries, I'm here for it Ma'am," replied Wyatt with a wink before double checking Lucy's restraints were well fixed.

"All set you two?" asked Rufus from his pilot seat with still a hint of exasperation in his voice.

"Let's go!" said Wyatt before closing his eyes and holding on his restraints as the vertigo from time travel enveloped him.
