So in this timeline Lucy's Mom isn't in Rittenhouse like she is in the show. Just an FYI. More to follow in what's different so you don't lose track.
Also i'm sorry for the mistakes, please just accept them. I don't have a beta so i just write and read a couple of times, and some times i miss stuff.
Lucy stared blankly at Agent Christopher, her mouth had gone dry and she felt like she couldn't breathe. Fiance? Her and Wyatt were engaged? So many thoughts went through her mind all at once.
Beside her Wyatt was in disbelief, "I'm sorry?" he questioned, not taking it in.
But she had taken it in, they were a couple in this timeline, an established couple. A couple that were planning marriage and a life together...
"I need to sit down" Lucy breathed and moved slowly to the desk, placing her hands on the table for support and sitting down. How did this happen?
Denise looked between them, "You must have done something in 1880 South Africa with Wyatt's family to make this change. But i promise you both, you came to us like this" she told them.
"Like what exactly?" Lucy questioned.
"Wyatt in your timeline what was your job?" Denise asked him. Lucy looked over, his hands were on his hips and he was looking towards the ground, completely spaced out, "Wyatt?"
His eyes quickly returned to them, "Master Sargent of Delta Force" he answered.
"Good," Denise nodded, that was obviously still his job, "and Lucy?"
"A History and Anthropology Professor at Stanford" Lucy replied.
"Nothing has changed there," Denise agreed, giving them some comfort, "but we requested Lucy to be on our task force after Flynn took the Mothership, we were looking into you Wyatt to be our solider for the mission. It just so happens that you were together. Lucy said she would only want you and you said you wouldn't be happy for her to be in the hands of anyone else"
Lucy glanced again at Wyatt and he was already staring at her. They were at that place now. But they weren't when they met and in their timeline, it didn't work out like that.
"Where did you find us?" Wyatt asked, still looking at Lucy. His eyes not leaving hers until Denise answered.
"You have a place 5 miles from here. A cute home up in the mountains looking over San Francisco. You've been living there together for 3 years"
"3 years?" Lucy questioned.
Denise saw the confusion on her face, "Lucy have you looked at your phone yet?"
"No," she replied and pulled it out. She pressed the side button to reveal a number of missed calls from her Mother. But behind those, her background picture was of her and Wyatt. It was a selfie from what she could see on terrace, sun setting behind them, the view that Denise was talking about. She was looking at the camera with a wickedly happy smile. Wyatt was kissing her temple but still had a look of pure happiness on his face. A different feeling came over her this time, unlike the photos with Noah, she was happy to see these, a warm feeling had come over her. She opened up the phone and went to her photos, so many happy moments. Pictures of Wyatt that she had taken, surfing, fixing his car and going out for dinner.
Lucy closed her eyes, she needed to find out what it was that changed all of this. They looked genuinely happy, but they didnt remember any of it.
All of their missions that they remembered in their timeline, had then even gone on them?
"Where have we been on these missions?" Lucy asked with a frantic underlining tone, putting her phone straight back down.
"You've been to many Lucy. Its hard to remember them all, but Germany, Texas, Las Vegas, Pennsylvania, Arkansas-"
"-we've been to all those places in our timeline as well" Wyatt chipped in. She knew he stopped her when she got to Arkansas because that's when things really started to change between them. But if they really were a couple back then, going on these missions together. Surely they would have turned out differently?
Mason stepped forward finally, a look of frustration on his face, looking at his watch, "I know this is a confusing time for you both, but we don't have time for this. Flynn has been in Dallas fo-"
"-you can give us a God damned minute Mason!" Wyatt hollered, even making Lucy jump. He pointed at the inventor and came closer to him, "we have done nothing but work for you people these past few months, once again Lucy's timeline has changed, and now mine. Have some compassion"
Lucy swallowed hard, he was breathing heavily and the anger was rising, "Wyatt he's right" she spoke quietly.
Wyatt's head made a sudden turn in her direction, "What?"
"Flynn needs to be stopped. You and Rufus need to do that," she stood up, coming closer to him, "i will find out as much as i can and we will talk about it when you get back"
There was a fear in his eyes that she couldn't escape, he looked worried and placed his hand around her neck, rubbing his thumb along her jaw line, "What if i come back and we've done it again?," he breathed, "what if i come back and your not even here?" he bit out.
"I will be" she told him firmly, they had to believe that. Of course there was every fear of something like that on any mission. But it was down to their connection with Wyatt's family, it had to be. This mission to Dallas wouldn't be.
He looked to Denise and Mason and they also nodded with assurance to him. Looking down and placing his forehead against hers, he exhaled. She felt that pull, he didnt want to leave. Especially after this revelation and if she was honest, she didnt want him to either.
"This is bigger than you and me" she whispered to him, even though it pained her to do so.
He breathed deeply through his nose as he pulled back at opened his eyes. He registered her comment, but didn't reply to it. Almost not wanting to, so he changed the subject, "Come back here straight after the Hospital?" he asked her.
She nodded straight away, "I will. And i will get to the bottom of this and find out how it changed"
"Before you go," Mason commented. Making their eyes move away from each other to him, "if it's any consolation, you may not remember your time together," he told them, making Lucy's stomach twist, "but you certainly don't act any differently"
She gave Mason a sad smile, that might be the case. But if only they could have those memories, she knows she wouldn't be unhappy about it. She knew she wanted to be with Wyatt so much. If they came back to their time with the memory of their past together, she would fully accept it.
But she understood the sentiment that Mason was trying to give. They had talked before about 'meant to be' and 'fate' and not believing in them. . But now with this timeline, it was hard to avoid.
"Come on" Wyatt whispered, grabbing a hold of her hand and taking her out of the door and down the steps to the lifeboat.
Rufus was already in, pressing the buttons and making sure everything was as it should be.
Wyatt turned to her as they reached the bottom steps that lead to the machine, "Lucy-"
"-i know" she gave him a soft reassuring smile, "just come back to me"
Without hesitation he leaned in, capturing his mouth with hers. They gently kissed and he slowly pulled back, staring into her eyes. An understanding of what they were saying to each other was clear.
"Be safe. Both of you" she told them, loud enough for Rufus to hear.
"Got it!" came the reply from inside the lifeboat, making her smile briefly.
With one last kiss on the lips, Wyatt ascended the stairs, giving a look behind him as he entered. She gave him an encouraging nod to go ahead and he disappeared as the door slide close.
"We better step back" Jiya commented. Lucy had been completely oblivious to her standing there.
Lucy followed her back towards the computers as the tech team typed away and the lifeboat started up. She watched the mechanism go round and the sound increase, to it suddenly being there and with a woosh of air, it was gone. Her hair flying backwards and nearly losing her footing.
"Lets get you to the hospital," Jiya stated, gently taking her arm.
Lucy stopped her and turned, "Jiya i have to tell you something"
Jiya's eyes widened, "What is it?"
She looked to where the lifeboat had just disappeared to, "Lets talk in the taxi"
Jiya wasn't in the room when they were told, so she would have to fill her in, getting any information about her and Wyatt and what she knew. Jiya could tell her things she wouldn't even know about and hopefully have her help in tracing what changed when they met Wyatt's ancestors, it had to stem from there.
