Back to Lucy's POV.
It was an underground bunker, Silo to be exact. Old and dirty. She was surprised Mason Industries even had this on their radar, it was a far cry from their previous building.
A large space for the lifeboat and computers to go, further down the hall was a kitchen area with tables, chairs and a few sofas. It was dark and grim, hardly any natural light in the whole place, after all it was under ground.
"Wow this place is a literal hole" Rufus commented, they all stood looking at the space in front of them.
"This is commissioned by Mason Industries?" Denise asked in a surprised tone to Mason.
"Well when i didn't have all the resources available to me, my team worked here for a while" he meant before Rittenhouse provided him with the money to start building the time machines...but that was possibly for another time.
They all looked to Rufus who shook his head, "Nope, it was PR" he told them.
"Dude, what in the hell is PR?" Wyatt questioned on behalf of all of them.
Jiya rolled her eyes, knowing exactly what her boyfriend meant, "He means Pre-Rufus," it warranted many raised eyebrows and quizzical looks, "don't. He uses it in reference to my life before meeting him as well" she moved her hand in a dismissive motion.
"And i will continue to as well" Rufus chimed in, going over to a computer desk and wiping his hand over it, dust flew off the monitor. He turned and rolled his eyes at them. This was what they were living with for a while and they had to get used to it.
"Where are the rooms?" Lucy asked Mason, and straight away Wyatt's eyes landed on her.
"Down the hall, a few are upstairs as well in a small space down another flight of stairs" Mason told her, pointing down the dreary hallway.
"Of course there's another level to hell" Rufus commented. Was easy to tell what he thought of the place.
With a bag packed with their things in their lockers from Mason Industries, they all disburse to find rooms. There were only 5 rooms available, Mason and Denise had requested their own space. So that was two rooms gone. Then they agreed that Flynn would need a room to himself as well. That left Rufus and Jiya who would obviously room together. So Lucy and Wyatt headed to the only room that had any natural light in it, two beds on either side of the room. She placed her stuff on her bed and he did the same.
"Are you sure you don't mind me bunking with you?" she turned to ask him as he took his gun holster off and placed it on the cabinet next to his bed, "i can always bunk with Jiya"
His eyes turned to her and his brow furrowed, "I think Rufus might have a problem with that," he told her with a smile, "besides, so would i. After everything, i want you in here with me"
She wanted to be in there too, but after the revelation about their timeline changing, she wasn't sure what would be his views.
After leaving Flynn at Mason Industries surrounded by guards until they had set this place up, they decided to get time to themselves, Lucy told him everything she could.
They had been friends their whole lives, grandfathers and fathers who were best friends, his family being Rittenhouse too. Nothing prepared her for his reaction to those, but what broke her was telling him that in the new timeline, Jess was never his wife. He took his time to process it, and she understood that. Unlike their 'time' together in this lifetime, he had memories of Jess to hold on to. It was real and it was something he had and lost.
She gave him time, all he needed to take it all in, because it wasn't everything. She had to tell him about their relationship in this world.
"There's um, tapes and other memories that we put together before we started all this...in case-"
"In case what happened, has happened" he concluded, he jaw tightening.
She nodded in response, "They are still at Rufus's place. I couldn't bring myself to take them yet," she moved closer, looking deeper into his stunning blue eyes, "Wyatt the memories we have together. We were unbreakable, all of our lives...we've only known each other" she still couldn't get her head round it. A completely different reality.
Wyatt sighed deeply and took a seat on the bed, Lucy followed suit and sat next to him. There was silence for a few seconds before Wyatt cleared his throat, "What stuff was there?"
Lucy pursed her lips together, "Too much to talk about. I didn't even see all of it, and i didn't watch the tapes...we should do that together"
He took it in and nodded, "Then we get Rufus to get the box here. There's a tv and dvd player in the common room," his eyes looked to her, "i need to see them"
She quickly agreed, "I do too" she took another deep breath and grabbed his hand, linking their fingers tightly together, "but first i think we need to go there" she told him with hesitancy.
It hardly gave him an idea of what she was talking about, but he knew exactly where 'there' was, "How far away is it from here?"
"20 minutes" she stated, clutching his hand. This was something they needed to do, for both of them and hopefully it would help make things clearer, "Agent Christopher has gone to collect Flynn..."
Wyatt picked up his gun that was sat on the side, "I guess now is a better time then any"
