First of all I hope you guys had a Merry Christmas (if you celebrate Christmas). I know I said that I would post a Lucy/Wyatt Christmas story but I got a little busy. I'll try to post one soon either one for the new year or just a random one-shot. Anyway, I don't own Timeless and enjoy the chapter!

Lucy watched in horror as the gun in Flynn's trembling hands was raised to her head. Her breathing and heart rate sped up and she begged for Flynn to stop but she knew that he wouldn't stop. She knew because she saw that crazed look in his eyes. These trips to the past had been making her life confusing and it looked as though they were also doing some mental damage to Flynn.

His fingers were on the trigger and it looked as though he was trying to get his hands to stay steady. Lucy closed her eyes waiting him to pull the trigger but he never did. Instead she heard his rough voice talking to somebody behind her.

"You said this would work." Flynn's voice was shaky and full of anger.

"I said it might work." Came the reply from behind Lucy.

Slowly Lucy opened her eyes to find the gun pointed not at her head but just above it, aimed at the man behind her rather then at Lucy. She hesitatingly turned in the chair to see who was behind her. Anthony. Rufus' friend who was helping Flynn. The man looked the same as when Lucy had seen him on the security camera's on the night of their first mission. God that first mission felt as though it had been ages ago when in reality it had been...a few weeks...maybe a month? Honestly, Lucy had lost track of time. Time...what a dangerous thing to mess with.

"There was no guarantee that it would work just that it might've...and it didn't."

Lucy could see the sweat on Anthony's face, hear the strain in his voice, see the tremble of his hands, and of course the panicked look in his eye. Of course the gun aimed at the man's heart was of course a factor in the way he trembled and panicked but Lucy had a feeling it wasn't just the gun that made Anthony nervous, it was more then that. It was these trips to the past, they were taking a toll on all of them even Flynn and his men.

For Lucy they were changing the past not only her life was being affected, it was the whole country's past that was being affected and the thought that other people could be loosing members of their family that they didn't even remember existed was driving her insane. There were other people out there who could be loosing siblings, loosing children, and on top of that maybe they were now engaged to somebody that they'd never known before! It was all too much for Lucy.

"You told me if we could kill Rittenhouse in the cradle it would be the end of Rittenhouse. You know Anthony, you've been telling me a lot of things that haven't been true. If I didn't need you to pilot that damn machine I'd kill you right now, but..." Flynn sighed and slowly lowered his gun, "I do need you which means I won't kill you...at least not right now."

Lucy watched as Flynn threw the gun onto a nearby table and walked off to the other side of the warehouse. Lucy slowly stood up and looked at Anthony.

"Why are you helping him?"

Anthony didn't answer for a while instead he stared at something behind Lucy. She was about to repeat her question when he finally spoke up.

"Because he says that he can stop Rittenhouse." Anthony sighed and finally looked at Lucy, "They're doing bad things Lucy, getting away with it because only a few people know of their existence and the people who do know they exist are too scared to do anything...except for a few."

Lucy glanced behind her in the direction that Flynn had left, "You and Flynn?"

Anthony nodded, "We've managed to recruit some others but most have been killed during our...trips to the past."

Lucy tried to ignore the guilt she felt when he said that, Wyatt had been the cause of some of those deaths, "Is Rittenhouse really that bad?"

She already knew the answer so it came as no surprise to her when Anthony merely nodded. Of course by now she knew they were bad but it had just been so confusing for a while. Her life had been okay until she had been recruited for this.

"Lucy." Anthony spoke quietly, "He believes that you're meant to help us, whether by force or by choice. Which means..."

He trailed off but Lucy knew what he meant, "I'm not going to be leaving this warehouse anytime soon...am I?"

Again Lucy already knew the answer but she still felt that feeling of dread rise in her stomach when Anthony nodded. She sighed and sat down on the chair she had been sitting in before. Lucy looked down at her clothes and realized she was still in the dress from the last mission.

"Well," She stood once more and turned to Anthony, "If I'm going to be helping you guys then I am not staying in this dress."

Anthony gave a small bland smile, "We've already got that covered."

Lucy raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by that?"

"Come with me."

Anthony started to walk away leaving Lucy to either stand there with a confused look on her face or follow. She chose the latter.

This should be fun.

Sorry for any mistakes in this chapter but I hope you liked it anyway. I know I haven't updated in a while but that was mainly because of the holidays so my updates should start becoming somewhat regular again. I can't wait until the show returns, only 18 more days! Thank you to Anonymous, mmelody6, Di, and for reviewing my last chapter. :) Can't wait to see what you guys thought of this chapter.
