Ahhhh wasn't the premiere amazing?! The Lyatt moments! Damn Matt Lanter can pull off angry, brooding for his girl well. I loved it. But i am glad that Jiya stopped them (albeit unknown to her) because i want their kiss to be out of passion and not desperation. I think there may have been regret there if it had turned out like that. But..."You haven't lost me" *melts* can't wait for next week and the week after ( i see you Hollywoodland ep) thank you for all the reviews...i'm hoping you like where i am going to take this story...
Before she had a chance to ask about the ring, they had their priorities. Where had Flynn gone?
The three of them sat around the office desk as Denise and Mason stood, ready to give them all the information. Jiya hovered in the back of the room, she had put together all the stuff she could find already about the time period he had jumped to.
"I think we all know this one," Denise commented and moved the papers over to them on the table, "Fort Worth, Texas November 1963"
"Damn" Rufus commented beside her.
Wyatt let out a heavy breath, "God damn it"
"JFK," Lucy stated, shaking her head, "he's going to try and stop the assassination of John F Kennedy?" she was alarmed. It was a reminder of Lincoln, and the pull of not wanting to let a man die, but knowing in the history books that's exactly the way it had to be.
"We can only assume," Denise replied, pulling out another record, "but he jumped to 6 days before the assassination and because your behind-"
"-it means the day we jump, its exactly November 22nd 1963" Wyatt spoke, and all eyes came on him, "what? I've told you before, i know my Texas history"
"Is there a chance JFK was in Rittenhouse?" Rufus asked. Something none of them had talked about in a while, it was the elephant in the room.
"God i hope not" Lucy whispered, but anything was possible at this point. They had gone through so much with other Rittenhouse members that had been big leaders in History. It wasn't something they could just dismiss anymore because of the person.
"Well your only going to know if you make your way there," Denise stated, "i've already got your outfits ready downstairs"
That was their obvious queue to leave and get ready.
They all started to get up and Mason looked to her, "Lucy i'll call you that cab now" and he walked out of the room with his phone pressed to his ear.
There was a pull inside of her, she couldn't let them go alone. This was scary, Mason disappeared as Rufus and Jiya hugged again, they hoped this time it would only be day or two he was gone.
"Wyatt i cant do this" she said quietly, getting his attention.
He turned to her, placing his hands on her arms and giving her a reassuring squeeze, "We're going to be ok. I know this. I know a lot about this. If anything, this is the perfect time period for him to travel to when we don't have you on this mission and you can rest"
"Rest? Wyatt i will be going out of my freaking mind," she sighed frustrated, "I've never not gone with you, what if something happens?" she asked him worriedly. They had split up on missions and things had gone wrong, this was a big deal.
"We're going to stop him...," he said with confidence, trying to instil it in her, "because i need to get back to take you to dinner" Wyatt was being all too calm about this and flirty. But she could see it in his eyes, he was worried too.
But she was going to go along with it, "I'll be waiting" she told him, giving him a soft smile.
He lifted his hand and gently stroked her bandage, "Now get that looked out, and promise you wont tell me if the Doctor said i did a inadequate job on stitching up that wound?"
She chuckled, she could rely on him to make her smile. But they quickly parted ways when Denise turned round from her computer.
"I better get changed" he told her and gave her wink.
He turned to Rufus and nodded, both men leaving as Mason returned.
"The cab will be here in 20, i believe the boys will be ready by then so you ladies can see them off" he told Lucy and Jiya.
Jiya came and stood by Lucy, "I'll come with you to the hospital" she told her, with conviction.
"Oh you don't have to do that Jiya" she motioned her hand, telling her not to worry. However she knew she would like that, her and Jiya were becoming firm friends and having that support now that Wyatt was going to be away gave her comfort.
"No we insist Lucy," Denise told her forcefully, "but while you wait for the cab you might as well tell us what happened on this trip" Denise asked, directing them back to the chairs so they could take a seat.
"Where do i start?" Lucy let out an awkward laugh. So much to say about the most fascinating trip they've had yet.
"What was Capetown like?" Jiya asked wistfully.
"Beautiful. Zululand was stunning, I've never seen a place like it...was also incredible travelling with the Empress of France..." she trailed off, waiting for their reactions.
Jiya's mouth dropped open in awe and Mason leaned back in astonishment.
Denise shook her head in amazement, "How the hell did that happen?" she asked.
"Well she wasn't the best part of the trip," Lucy started, "after tracking down Wyatt's ancestors we travelled with them all. We spent time getting to know them and helping them even, making sure Alex and Emie,-" she stopped herself, they wouldn't know those names but she carried on, "-that they got together so that Wyatt was meant to exist"
"Unbelievable" Mason stated in wonder.
"And who did they think you were?" Jiya asked curiously.
"Well Wyatt told them our real names," Lucy responded, "i was a 'nurse'," she then looked down shyly, "and Wyatt was my husband"
The three chuckled together at the admission.
"At least it gave you good practice then" Denise commented with amusement.
Lucy's eyes came up to look at her, then to all of them. She was confused, "Practice for what?"
"Lucy where's your ring?" Jiya asked, grabbing her hand lightly, "when you get back from missions the first thing you do is put it back on" she questioned curiously.
"I meant to ask you about that," Lucy shuffled in her seat, unsure of what this answer would be, "i found it in my locker-"
"-well that's where you always leave it" Denise commented, her brow coming down, "Lucy are you alright?"
"How hard was that hit on the head?" Mason enquired.
She shook her head, they weren't the ones to be asking questions right now, she was. That feeling of Amy came back to her, the uncertainty of what her life was like in this lifetime came into forefront of her mind, it scared her. Due to her connection to Rittenhouse it only ever appeared to be her that was affected in these timelines.
However, she didn't want to alarm them. So she thought she would carry on, "Pretty hard" she told him.
"It is best you get the hospital as soon as possible then," Mason told her with concern, "you may have concussion if you don't even remember who your even engaged to Lucy"
"Oh no, i remember" Lucy said without even thinking. Why did she do that?
Right then Wyatt and Rufus entered the room again, dressed in full 1960's suits and her first thought wasn't of who she was engaged to. But Wyatt in the suit. He looked so handsome her stomach turned over in knots, good ones. However she was thankful she didn't have to give an answer, because she didn't know who she was engaged to in this timeline.
"Alright lets stop Flynn," Rufus clapped his hands together, "i'm fully ready to stop this douche from creating anymore changes in History," and he nodded over to her direction, "we'll do this for you Lucy"
Lucy gave him a thankful smile, it meant so much to her for him to say that. She got up and came to him, enveloping him in a big hug. The ones they always gave each other if they had ever been separated. It was warm and comfortable, she was so thankful to have him in her life.
"I'll walk down with you" Jiya stated, getting up as well and coming to them.
"I'll see you down there" Rufus told Wyatt and gave one last look to Lucy before leaving the room.
"Everything ok in here?" Wyatt asked, slowly making his way closer to Lucy. However he was clearly making a conscious effort to not touch her in front of Denise and Mason. They still didn't know that they had started something on the mission and now really wasn't the time to get into it.
"Just making sure Lucy is alright, and don't worry we will get the best Doctors looking after her. We cant have your mind somewhere else on this mission" Denise told him with her authority. She knew her and Wyatt were close, but it was strange she would say that to him, would they really assume Wyatt would be that worried about her?
"I believe you Ma'am" Wyatt replied, with a glance to Lucy. He now looked confused at her.
"You can understand our concern," Mason stated, rounding the table and coming in front of them, "afterall it cant be easy being together in these dangerous situations and not worry about your other half"
Lucy's mouth dropped open, were they that obvious? She looked to Wyatt who also looked sheepish.
"Whats going on with you two?" Denise questioned, getting closer to them as well, looking just as confused.
Wyatt sighed and gave a look to Lucy, they had been found out now, not point hiding it any longer. She nodded and he went ahead, "Look its new ok?" he let it out, "we were going to leave it awhile to find our feet. But we are apparently too obvious" he motioned between himself and Lucy.
"New?" Mason moved back in surprise, "Wyatt were you hit on the head also?"
"No Sir," Wyatt looked at them hesitation, what was going on? "but i do feel like i'm missing something here" and he gave another glance to Lucy.
"Both of us actually" Lucy added, this was getting strange.
Denise looked to them and a sudden realisation appeared on her face, "Oh God...you changed something"
A blinding panic hit Lucy. Amy. Her mind went straight to Amy. She didn't want it to happen again, she couldn't let it happen again. Her life had changed over night last time.
She had to ask them, it was the only way they were going to get any answers, "Is this about the ring?" Lucy let it out, questioning them both.
Wyatt reared back in shock, "Ring?" it twisted inside of her seeing the pain on his face at her mentioning it. She knew he would be upset and hoped they could have done this alone, but not knowing who it was got in the way of them talking about it.
"Oh Jesus Christ," Mason placed both his hands on the table to steady himself. He then glanced behind him to Denise, "they don't know"
"Don't know what?!" Wyatt exclaimed, now getting angry.
Denise came closer to the both of them and looked her in the eyes, "Lucy you've been engaged for a year," she felt Wyatt stiffen next to her, and her stomach flipped "and you've been with him for 4 years"
She closed her eyes, that was longer than Noah. She couldn't deal with this, what life had she missed out on now? How many years of her life were spent with this person. How did it even happen again? What could they have changed for her to be engaged to someone else in this timeline?
"Lucy," Denise spoke her name, making her open her now watery eyes, "Lucy whose your fiance?" it was a test and she was going to fail it.
She pursed her lips together, her chin trembling. She wanted to know the answer. But she didn't, she shook her head, "I don't know" she whispered and the dread came over her.
"This is bad-" Mason commented again.
"Why is this bad?" Wyatt questioned, his displeasure at Lucy being engaged was clear, "it's not meant to even happen! We've been through this before, whoever this guy is, shes not meant to be with him!"
"That's the problem Wyatt," Denise spoke quietly, his eyes finding hers, "your the guy she's with and has been for 4 years," Lucys heart jumped to her throat and she couldn't speak, "and your her fiance"
Views?!
