Title: Changes

There'd been much discussion on when Lucy's team would arrive in Baltimore. She and Rufus had wanted them to go before Wyatt had been taken by Flynn. Christopher had argued that would compromise the current timeline and with Flynn threatening Lucy's existence they couldn't risk any fluctuations. So they'd decided on eight hours after Flynn had captured Wyatt. Now they stood in a dark clearing in the woods near Baltimore. Everyone gathering gear well almost everyone. Lucy quietly approached Jiya's double over form as the young woman stood a few feet away from the lifeboat.
Lucy handed her friend a bottle of water which earned a grateful smile.
"I'd ask if you were okay but I know you're not."Lucy commented quietly.
"Reading and hearing about the after affects are one thing..."Jiya began as she rested her hands on her knees. "I'm sure my stomach will reposition itself eventually."
"It will."Lucy responded. "Stay here with the lifeboat. You got us here; you did good, Jiya."
"I didn't come here just to drive."Jiya protested raising her head gingerly.
"I know but I have a feeling we'll need a quick get-a-way."Lucy said gently. "Need you to stay here and have things ready to go."
"Okay."Jiya replied reluctantly. "Be careful."
Lucy nodded as she and Sgt Robertson headed towards Baltimore she sent off a silent prayer. Confronting Flynn was the last thing Lucy wanted to do. There was too much at risk but Flynn hadn't given her any other option when he captured Wyatt. He'd do anything to bring his family back and Flynn knew Lucy would do the same to protect hers.
Wyatt had just managed to get the chain to give a little when the door opened. He blinked at the harsh light.
"Boss wants to see you."One of Flynn's men stated with a grin.
Wyatt readied himself knowing this might be his last chance to get free. The henchman bent to unlock Wyatt. Once Wyatt was free he gripped the chain and used it as a weapon. He wrapped it around the younger man's neck and stepped into the main room. What Wyatt saw surprised him and stopped him cold. He blinked not quite believing what he was seeing.
"Lucy."Wyatt whispered.
Lucy sat at the wooden table her hands bond behind her. Her face was pale but calm. Flynn stood behind her gun in his right hand.
"Somebody paid us a visit."Flynn said with a smile. "Don't you want to say hello?"
Lucy winced at the large gash on Wyatt's head. He had dried blood down the left side of his face but he was alive. The historian let out a relieved breath she'd been hoping all the way to Baltimore that they weren't too late. That they hadn't made the wrong decision. Now Lucy just prayed the plan she and Robertson had come up with would work. Bait hadn't been what Lucy had in mind when they'd left Mason but if it got the end result she'd do it.
"Let her go, Flynn."Wyatt snarled.
"Oh I don't think so."Garcia replied. "She's royalty."
Wyatt incapacitated the henchman he held hostage and tossed him aside. He didn't know what crazy plan Lucy had come up with. Didn't know why she was here; why she'd risk everything. The only thing that mattered was getting her and their unborn child away from the gun wielding Flynn. He took several steps towards Flynn when the right side of the building erupted in flames sending debris flying.
Flynn's henchmen opened fire on Robertson as the blond man came through the main door. Wyatt flung himself at Flynn tackling the older man to the ground sending the gun flying. Flynn hit Wyatt with the but of the gun. Normally it wouldn't have phased Wyatt but it was on the old wound. The pain made Wyatt see stars and he rolled off Flynn. Flynn gained his feet and went for Lucy. Robertson fired and caught Flynn in the left arm. By this time Wyatt had regained his senses and he caught Flynn with two sharp hits to the jaw. The former NSA agent dropped like a stone. Seeing their boss down the hired guns scattered. Just like that it was over and most importantly they had Flynn.
