Ok i think i know what im going to do with this story. So my problem was, i wasn't sure i could do the mission stuff, because of the history. So i will focus more on obviously the developments with Rittenhouse. But necessarily the missions themselves. Are people good with that? Then i can round it off...hopefully...not sure how you stop Rittenhouse though lol.
Lucys POV
They brought a few of their 'things' back to the bunker. It seemed they had exactly the same taste in their clothes in this other timeline. Wyatt brought a few plaid shirts, white tees and jeans with him and Lucy took comfortable joggers and jumpers, along with a few jackets, trousers and jeans herself.
Rufus was working on the lifeboat that now appeared to be in its residence with them. Continuously working on it to keep it up to date, Jiya was with him handing him tools whenever he asked her.
He slid out from underneath the machine and caught eyes with the two of them, Wyatt gave him a nod and Lucy smiled.
In turn Rufus chuckled, "I know that look" he commented standing up, pointing in Wyatt's direction.
"What look?" Lucy questioned and looked to Wyatt who had a massive smile on his face. She rolled her eyes, could he have been more obvious?
"Well its about damn time" Rufus responded, knowing full well what had happened between them back at their house.
"Tell me about it" Jiya agreed.
Lucy raised her eyebrows, "What, do you two talk about it or something?" she giggled, honestly not thinking it was serious.
Jiya pressed her mouth together and looked in the other direction and Rufus had his mouth open ready to answer, but nothing came out.
"Oh my god you do!" Lucy stated with surprise.
Wyatt came closer, "Come on Lucy, to be fair we talked about them all the time. Remember before Arkansas we spotted them kissing? We said it would happen and it did" he shrugged like it was nothing. Her and Wyatt had been discussing Noah at the time, and he tried to tell her how wrong he was for her. After Agent Christopher had interrupted them all, Wyatt had nodded his head over at Rufus and Jiya who were in an embrace. Much to Lucy's surprise, she had been wrapped up in her own things she had barely noticed what was happening between them. So it was true, they had talked about it.
"Yeah i think if i remember correctly, you called me a 'sly dog'," Rufus responded, "don't think for a second i'm not gonna throw that one back at you"
Wyatt raised his hands in defeat, "Fire away" he was actually pleased to get teased about it. But she truly saw how happy he was about it, and it made her happy too.
"Ok if your going to do that, i'm going to put my stuff in our room" Lucy commented. Boys.
"Ohh 'our' room huh?" Rufus teased again.
Lucy shook her head and Wyatt chuckled, giving Lucy a kiss on the temple as she left the boys to joke around.
"Here let me help you" Jiya stated, taking one of her bags.
"Thank you" Lucy kindly replied and they fell into walking together down the hall.
Something hit Lucy, all of this time. Any time the three of them travelled together, it was them. Never Jiya, so any changes effected her, "Jiya, this Rufus...he's the same right? Because the Rufus in your timeline knew about me and Wyatt. He didn't know any different, but now-"
"-its not easy," she nodded in agreement as they reached Lucy's room, "there's things that haven't happened for him, that have happened for me. By the sounds of it, we talked earlier and how we got together was exactly the same. Its just things outside of 'us' that is different" she still looked sad.
Lucy motioned for her to sit down on the bed, "All this time, i've been so wrapped up in everything going on with me and Wyatt that i haven't even thought of what changes could have happened for you" she told her sympathetically.
"All part of the job right?" Jiya replied, trying to stay up beat, "and hey, don't worry about it. Your WHOLE life has changed. So has Wyatt's. You guys have every right to be wrapped up in it"
"But your my friend Jiya" Lucy told her, leaning over and grabbing her hand, "that matters to me. You and Rufus matter to me. So much. We couldn't get through it without you guys"
Jiya gave a thankful smile, "You know, we go out a lot. In this timeline" she told her.
Lucy nodded, "The house had photos of us. In bars and what even looked like karaoke nights?" she giggled. Memories she had no idea about.
Jiya smiled too, "They are amazing. We have a song we sing together, any time we go out. 'I'll be there for you' by The Rembrandts-"
"-of course" Lucy agreed. It was her favourite. Friends was always on when she was a teenager and she never failed to repeat the lines of that show.
A look of realisation on Jiyas face and she moved to the side, getting her phone out of her pocket, "I have a video of us singing it," she told her, "do you want to see it?"
She hadn't watched anything yet, only seen photos of this other timeline. Singing with Jiya would be something she could deal with, and it actually gave her a buzz of excitement, "Yeah" she agreed with a smile.
Jiya went to her videos and started playing it. The loud sound of the bar itself and her and Jiya on stage. Whoever was filming was sat right in front of the stage with the perfect view, not having to move.
Both women looked to each other and nodded, taking two mikes.
"You need the words?!" shouted someone in the background, obviously the bar manager.
Both ladies looked to the back of the room with disgust.
"Do we need the words?!" Lucy cried.
She cringed at herself, she had seen videos of herself drunk before and this was definitely it.
In the video Jiya screwed up her face, "Dude that's not an actual question!"
"Oh God man," came the voice from behind the camera, it was obviously Rufus and he turned the camera to Wyatt, sat looking gorgeous in a dark blue shirt and a beer. He was just shaking his head, "these are our ladies!"
"Don't remind me" Wyatt responded with embarrassment.
The camera went back to the girls on stage and the tune started and they picked up their energy, both looking to each other and getting very excited.
"So no one told you life was gonna be this way-" they motioned for the cloud to clap and they did.
Rufus and Wyatt laughed, amazed they managed to get the crowd to do it so quickly.
"Your job's a joke, your broke, your love life's D.O.A. It's like you're always stuck in second gear. When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year, but i'll be there for you (when the rain starts to pour) i'll be there for you (like i've been there before) i'll be there for you (cause you're there for me too)-"
Both in unison and Lucy in this moment, turned to Jiya with her mouth open, "We aren't that bad!" she laughed.
"Oh it gets better" Jiya promised, and got her to look back at the screen.
Now the whole crowd were singing along and even Rufus and Wyatt were laughing and thoroughly impressed with them.
"Every time dude!" Rufus exclaimed to Wyatt.
"Why does it always surprise me how good they actually are at this?!" Wyatt returned, getting closer to the camera, "is this going on youtube?!"
Rufus chuckled, "Nah, don't want my girl being found by Usher and taken away ya know" he tried to say seriously.
Wyatt chuckled and looked to the girls again, thoroughly enjoying himself. The camera panned back to stage and now Lucy and Jiya had their arms wrapped round each other as they sang all of the words correctly and at the right time. They finished up and they were surprised at the reaction, the crowd stood, so did Rufus and Wyatt. Clapping hard and giving them a big smile, placing his fingers between his lips and whistling.
Rufus followed as Wyatt moved around the table and came to the stage.
"Come this way baby" Wyatt told Lucy, directing her to his arms and not the stairs. Hearing the term of endearment made her stomach flip. It was unbelievably attractive when she sat down on the stage and he lifted her off while his lips met hers repeatedly in constant kisses.
"Hey!" Jiya exclaimed, now right by Rufus, "dude, why didnt you do that for me?!"
"Err," Rufus hesitated, "bad back?"
Jiya rolled her eyes and huffed, sitting down.
Then the video stopped and Jiya looked to Lucy.
She was so pleased she had seen that, "You have more of those?" she questioned.
"A whole bunch. We went paint balling, dinners, we stay at yours from time to time. We've talked about going away. But of course we cant go too far, because of ya know. Flynn and Rittenhouse" she tried to make it light hearted. And that's exactly what those videos entailed. Their lives were so hectic and crazy that she was glad in this timeline, they had a chance to unwind together and actually be a part of each others lives because they wanted to be. Not because it was anything to do with the missions.
"I love that. I want to see more. Maybe we can watch them all later?" she asked her. She was sure they could attach the phone to the TV in the common area.
Before Jiya could respond, Wyatt appeared at door with hesitancy. Instantly Lucy knew something was off, "What's wrong?"
"Agent Christopher is back with Flynn" he told them. Now they would have to deal with this different element. An element they had been chasing all this time, it was going to be hard. But if Lucy had learnt anything, she had Wyatt, Rufus and Jiya with her the whole time, and they would get through this.
