ar anyway, so.

So WyLu won! Some of you weren't happy with the whole Flynn calling Lucy "ma'am". In all honesty... I thought it was hilarious. ? But I promise I didn't mean it in the flirty way Wyatt did/does. It was purely out of respect because I hate it when he's painted the bad guy and mean to Lucy. Not hating on anyone's work. I have read pretty much every single Timeless fanfiction and enjoyed every one I read. Another thought I had, while rereading/editing the last chapter, everyone was talking about how Flynn called Lucy ma'am but nobody questioned the fact that Flynn knew where Lucy lived... ? Now that I think about it... Neither did Lucy. I'm going to go fix that...
Anyway... Here's the next chapter.
~•~•~•~
"She's leaving with Garcia Flynn."
"I'm sorry, I thought you said Garcia Flynn," Agent Denise Christopher chuckled.
"I'm not joking ma'am."
Denise sighed. What the heck is she doing with Flynn? "Follow them. Carefully."
~•~•~•~
"What do you want?" Lucy asked as the taxi took off.
"Just to talk." Was all he said.
"I gathered that," She rolled her eyes. By her body language and clipped tone, anyone could tell she was not in the mood for any nonsense. "About what?"
"What happened while you were kidnapped?" They found each other's eyes. "All of it?"
"I-uh," Lucy swallowed her nervousness and started fidgeting.
"Lucy..."
"I don't know where I was. But, um, Jessica Logan and Benjamin Cahill, we're there."
Flynn nodded and encouraged her to continue.
"Jessica found Rittenhouse, had been digging into it," Lucy shook her head as she whispered the dreaded word. "So they kidnapped her and framed it as murder."
"You both... Have been digging into, Rittenhouse," He said as he pulled things out of his briefcase.
"He said he was going to kill me. But he wouldn't just... Kill me"
"Now I could just kill you myself but... Where's the fun in that?" He laughed.
"You're a monster." Lucy spat at him.
"He's going to place Jessica back at Wyatt's place and tell her to act as if everything is fine."
"Why? Didn't they take her because she knows too much?"
"They're trying to get to all of us. Including you. Find our weakness and exploit them."
Jessica was crying. How could she do something like that to her husband? Her husband who thought her dead?
Lucy didn't know what to think. "You're going to kill you're own daughter?"
"Rittenhouse is your legacy, Lucy. But since you can't accept that we don't need you around anymore. You haven't stopped Flynn, like you were supposed to."
"We haven't had the chance! He's always a step ahead. Until we get in front of him... We are doing our best, okay?"
"Your best isn't enough anymore."
"They are going to find you. You're not going to get away with this."
He only chuckled. "So, after we kill you, we'll get a new team. Who will actually get the job done and kill Flynn."
"That's the gist of it." Lucy concluded.
"When is Jessica going to be at Wyatt's?"
Lucy shrugged. "I don't know."
~•~•~•~
Wyatt unlocked the door to his apartment when he dropped his grocery bag. With too much on his mind, mainly what was wrong with Lucy, it was difficult.
He set the bags down in the kitchen then pulled out his phone. "Oh," He said not looking up from his phone. "Hey Jessica."
"Hey, babe." She responded.
Wyatt almost dropped his phone in sudden realization. "Jessica?"
In quick, long strides he crossed the room and hugged her tightly.
"Oh my God, you're okay." He almost cried. She's alive. Wait... "Wait... This is a dream, right? My mind is playing tricks on me. Your-you're not really here."
Wyatt stepped back and shook his head. "I'm going to wake up... This is just a dream."
"What are you talking about Wyatt?" Jessica placed her hand on his shoulder.
"You... You died. You've been dead for... Years."
"What are you talking about?" Jessica shook her head. "Wyatt, you're scaring me. I never died." At least it wasn't a complete lie.
She's really here?
He cupped her face in his hands and swiped his thumb under her eyes. He met her lips with his for the first time in years. It felt so good to kiss his wife again.
He pulled away and laughed happily. She smiled back but it faltered. Wyatt didn't seem to notice.
"I'm going to call a friend," Wyatt said as he hugged her once more.
"Lucy?"
"How'd you know-"
"Wyatt..." She laughed. "I know you hit your head yesterday but it wasn't that hard." She hoped maybe he did hit his head. Or he'd blame it on the changes of history.
"You're talking about Lucy Preston, right?"
"Uh, yeah. Yeah. Sorry, I'm just... Really happy."
She smiled at him as he picked up his phone.
~•~•~•~
Lucy jumped as her phone began ringing. She looked at the Caller ID then looked to Flynn.
"It's Wyatt," Her heart began reading. Flynn raised a curious brow.
"Hello?"
"Lucy," Wyatt breathed her name with laughter. "You'll never believe it."
Lucy never took her eyes off Flynn. "What?"
"Jessica's here. She's-she's... Alive."
"Jessica's at your place?"
"Yeah. Happy, healthy and alive."
"Um," Lucy cleared her throat. She didn't know what to say. They were going to kill Wyatt... It was only a matter of time. "Wyatt, can you hear me? Sorry, I think we're breaking up, I'm in a tunnel."
Lucy quickly hung up the phone. "It's starting."
~•~•~•~
Oh, Lucy. You're so dramatic. ? ゚リツ
So last night's episode was hard to watch... Poor Wyatt! If I were watching it by myself, I would've cried! He was so desperate! It was so sad!
Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter. Don't worry, this is a WyLu fic. They will be together in the end. It's just a matter of time.
Take my advice... Don't get attached to Jessica...
Dun dun dunnnnnnnn! ? ゚リツ
Good'ay mates.
