Ok so as you will see from the start of this chapter, i am following the storyline from season 2 in terms of where they go. I may not do the missions themselves, but mainly the bunker and interactions etc. Thank you all again for the love!
"The Mothership's Jumped!" Jiya made a cry from the holding area, sat at the computers. Rufus rushed to her side, as did the others.
"Where?" Wyatt questioned with urgency.
"September 14th 1918 France" Jiya responded, tapping at the buttons, trying to find a specific location.
"That's world war one," Wyatt noted, and Lucy nodded. He knew his war history so she had no need to step in, but what did Rittenhouse want in 1918? "where?"
"Er the nearest town is St Mihiel" Jiya worked out as a map appeared on her screen.
"That's the western front, battle of St Mihiel was the first one the America forces lead, i mean thousands died, it was a blood bath" Wyatt stated, with looks from them all of concern.
Lucy couldn't help but admire his knowledge in military history. He knew more than she did about that time.
"Hang on," Jiya interrupted, zeroing in on the location, "that is not good"
"What?" Lucy questioned, leaning closer to the screen.
"The Mothership landed two days ago, there must have been a delay after we moved the lifeboat here," she turned to them with worry, "what have they been doing?"
"We need to go NOW" Wyatt looked to Lucy and Rufus, who quickly started moving. However Flynn stood in their way.
"And what? I'm just chopped liver?" Flynn asked, crossing his arms across his chest with a defiant look.
"We don't have time for this Flynn, they could be changing history as we speak" Lucy snapped at him, walking past and heading to a storage space. Mason had brought a number of other costumes from Mason industries, if they needed them and Lucy remembered seeing the closest thing to world war one attire in there. From solider uniforms to a nurses outfit, right on the battle front.
"I'm coming with you" Flynn tasked himself with following them down the hall.
Abruptly Wyatt turned round and it stopped Flynn in his tracks, "There's only enough room for 3 people. Not 4"
"That's not true exactly. I know that the lifeboat has the capacity to take 4. We did it with the mothership. Hell we can take 6 or more on the Mothership" Flynn returned.
Rufus shrugged when Wyatt looked to him, wanting answers but clearly he didn't have them, "We only tested on 3 for the lifeboat. Until i make upgrades, its just 3"
That wasn't the answer Wyatt wanted, "You're too reckless. We need to build the trust with you. Because right now we have none" he turned and caught Lucy's arm and continued walking.
"For what its worth, i agree with you" she told Wyatt, "but you do know he wont settle for that in the long term. We're going to have to take him at some point"
She knew that would bother Wyatt, but it was true. There was only so much waiting around Garcia Flynn would do, he let it go this time. But it wasn't going to stay like that, he wanted to take down Rittenhouse as much as they did.
Wyatt sighed, "Don't remind me. But we cant have him on the lifeboat yet, let alone missions. He's a live-wire"
They walked into the storage room and started going through the clothes.
She nodded and pursed her lips together, holding in the comment she wanted to make.
"Whats that face?" he questioned, clearly noticing the look.
"Er yeah its nothing" she dismissed, passing through 1960s attire and continued searching.
"Lucy" Wyatt said sternly, knowing he would get it out of her.
"I just-" she stopped as looked at him, and give him a smile, "your kinda...you know...similar"
"Excuse me?" he questioned, clearly offended, "did you just compare me to a terrorist?"
"No not like that!" she dismissed it straight away.
Rufus rounded the corner at that moment of the store room, "Dude she totally was" and he walked passed, obviously having found his uniform already and headed to his room to change.
"This is ridiculous, i was not!" Lucy shouted as he left.
"Wanna explain yourself then?" Wyatt had slight annoyance.
"Your kinda reckless too, a hothead...you go into certain situations not necessarily thinking-" she stopped herself. He was giving her a look and then it came. Acceptance of what she was saying.
"If i'm a reckless hothead, your a bossy know it all" he said underneath his breath and pulled out the soldiers uniform.
Her mouth dropped open in surprise and she threw a flat cap at him. The nearest thing to her and he caught it. Of course he caught it, his reflexes were second to none. She rolled her eyes as he made his way over to her, placing his uniform down and wrapping his arms around her waist, grazing his lips against her neck.
"You could help me you know?" Lucy stated, still searching through the clothes.
"Yeah i could," he agreed and his warm breath, tickled her neck, "but i would rather do this"
She wanted to turn around and kiss him there and then, but she spotted a nurses uniform and pulled it out. Perfect. She turned round to Wyatt's face directly by hers, his nose nudging hers. He was giving her that look again, and it melted her.
But she shook it off, and cleared her throat, "We have a job to do," she told him, trying to push him back a little, "we've got to set ground rules...we obviously functioned on missions before as a couple...maybe we ask Jiya how we were. If we had...rules"
"Rules?" he questioned, not sounding happy and grabbing his uniform to go and change.
She took hers as they headed to their room, "Yeah like, no PDA on missions. We leave that stuff at home"
"That's only fair. This is a job. We have to be professional. But what other rules?" he asked, furrowing his brow.
They entered their room and closed the door, quickly undressing to change.
"Maybe i don't know...dangerous situations?" Lucy wasn't sure as she picked up the skirt and slid it on.
Wyatt was getting into his trousers and he eyed her, "That we are in constantly? What about them?"
Lucy sighed, "Your meant to protect Rufus and I...both of us. If we are in that situation and one of us could be hurt. You need to protect Rufus, he's our pilot and no matter what happens, he's the only one that can get us back to 2018"
Wyatt stopped dead in his tracks, his shirt off. Only the military trousers were on and he did not look happy. He moved closer to her, "Let me get this straight, you want me to protect Rufus over you?" it came out strained, surprised and like he wasn't taking it in.
Lucy swallowed hard, getting the words to come out was hard. But it was the truth, Rufus was their lifeline, their ticket back to the present day, "Wyatt if i got hurt-"
"-that wont happen" it was instant and defiant.
"But i did," she still had the bandage. Albeit small now, but it was there. Hitting her head on the roof of the carriage in South Africa really showed that anything could happen, "it did happen Wyatt. You need to come to terms with the fact you cant always protect me"
"There's no way in hell i wouldn't make every attempt to do so," his words were strong and he looked serious, "my job is to protect you both...the decision i make in that moment is mine. I go with my instincts in every situation and i'm pretty sure i know what my instinct would be every time"
He didn't say the words exactly, but Lucy knew it. He would pick her every time, no matter what. She feared that's what would compromise their situation, being together. But neither of them could deny their feelings anymore and they couldn't stay away from on another.
"I guess we are careful as must as we can be" Lucy stated, grabbing the shirt and throwing it on.
Wyatt slowly backed away and grabbed his jacket, "We're about to go into one of the bloodiest battles in World War One...want to rethink that one?"
Lucy sighed, he had a point, "We look after each other" she told him. No matter what, they had each others backs. She knew that for sure. Rufus was like her brother, and she was his sister. Wyatt...Wyatt was now her future and she wouldn't let anything change that.
