Title: Future Possibilities

notes and summary: see part one

Wyatt awoke with a start, disoriented. It took him a lot longer than he cared to admit to remember where he was. Shaking his head Wyatt pulled out his phone to check the time; nearly midnight. He hadn't even realized he'd fallen asleep. Standing Wyatt left the conference room. He knew he should go home. Then again where he lived wasn't home he hadn't really had a home for a long time.

Ten minutes later Wyatt found himself in the infirmary. Even though he'd only been there once he navigated his way easily to Lucy's room. The medical staff made no move to stop him. There must not be traditional visiting hours here Wyatt realized as his hand landed on the door handle to Lucy's room. Slowly he pushed it open and stepped inside. Wyatt made his way over to the visitor's chair and sat down heavily. He felt like everything was upside down and he didn't know which way was up anymore. Needing contact Wyatt reached out and took Lucy's right hand in his. Wyatt didn't know how long he sat there. His thoughts jumbled and spinning bouncing from Flynn to Elizabeth and Daniel and back again. So engrossed was he that Wyatt was more than surprised when Lucy's fingers curled around his. He straightened and reached to turn on the light on the bedside table.

"Lucy, can you hear me?"Wyatt asked anxiously.

The fingers tightened on his hand once more. Wyatt squeezed back in response. Maybe she was doing so much better that they'd taken her off sedation?

"Lucy?"Wyatt prompted his free hand straying to her face and right cheek.

"Wyatt."Lucy said hoarsely as her eyes opened and met his.

Wyatt withdrew his hand from her face and placed both over her smaller one. He was just grateful that she was awake. One good thing in a long list of bad didn't even the odds but it was a start and Wyatt would take what he could get.

"I'm going to get your doctor. Be right back."Wyatt said as he stood and left.

Wyatt spent another fifteen minutes in the same waiting room he'd occupied with Rufus earlier. This time he leaned against the wall across from the sofa. He could feel exhaustion tugging on him; demanding attention but Wyatt shoved it aside. Lucy needed him and he wasn't going anywhere. Finally the door opened and some one other than Dr. Campbell stepped in. It was a woman with red hair in her early thirites with a slim build and green eyes. She wore wire rim glasses and had her hair pulled back in a pony tail.

"Sgt. Logan? I'm Dr. Paulson night physician."The red head introduced herself. "Just wanted to let you know you can go back in to see Ms. Preston. She is a bit anxious and asking for you."

"She alright otherwise?"Wyatt asked pushing away from the wall.

"We're not out of the woods yet."Paulson replied. "But her numbers are showing improvement. We're still trying to identify and isolate what kind of drug was used."

"Thanks Doc."Wyatt stated with a smile as he left and went back to Lucy's room.

"Lucy?"Wyatt called as he stepped back into her room.

Lucy's wide questioning anxious brown eyes locked onto him and Wyatt felt like he'd been punched in the gut. He still had no idea how to tell her their daughter was gone. He was barely comprehending it himself. Slowly Wyatt crossed the room and sat down.

"How are you feeling?"Wyatt asked. "Doc says you're doing better."

"Still feel like I got run over by a truck."Lucy said hoarsely and motioned to the pitcher of water on the nearby table.

Wyatt poured a glass and handed it to her. Lucy flashed him a grateful smile.

Memories of the last few days slowly returned to Lucy as the medication ebbed. She stared at Wyatt he looked like hell. Dark circles under his blue eyes, couple days worth of beard on his chin, and his clothes rumpled. His face had a thinness to it like he hadn't remembered to eat. She tightened her hand on his. Something was wrong; very wrong. Elizabeth...images of her adult daughter's face flashed in front of her minds's eye and her body went cold. Flynn's attack...

"Wyatt?"Lucy prompted worriedly.

Wyatt swallowed hard but he met her gaze. She saw sadness and worry in his along with a touch of anger.

As glad as Wyatt was to hear Lucy's voice he'd been dreading this didn't know how to begin. He had to find a way though; Lucy had a right to know no matter how hard it would be.

"When we got back."Wyatt began and his voice cracked so he cleared it and tried again. "She was gone."

Lucy tried to withdraw her hand from Wyatt's but he held fast. He could see shock and sadness play across her features.

"Amy, Elizabeth, Danny."Lucy whispered. "All gone."

"We'll find a way to get your sister back."Wyatt promised his voice tight.

Lucy looked away and to the left wall. Wyatt could see the tears she tried to hide and it killed him. Another thing to hate Flynn for.

"Hey, Lucy, look at me."Wyatt demanded.

Slowly Lucy turned to face him the tears stark on her pale face.

"Elizabeth and Danny are still in play."Wyatt vowed. "Future hasn't happened yet."

"Flynn attacking me changed something or she'd be here."Lucy argued.

Wyatt closed his eyes briefly struggling against his own emotions.

"It changed one timeline."Wyatt theorized. "That doesn't mean some of what she said couldn't still happen."

Lucy nodded and was silent for a long time. Finally she eased herself into a sitting position and Wyatt handed her a glass of water when she motioned to the pitcher on the bedside table.

"Thanks."Lucy replied once she'd taken a few sips. "What else is going on? How long was I out?"

"You were out about thirteen hours."Wyatt responded grimly. "As for what else...we're off the 1776 mission. Christopher sent in another team."

Lucy nearly dropped the cup of water but managed to catch it at the last second.

"I thought we were the only team?"Lucy asked amazed.

"Apparently they've had a plan B in place in case one of us or all is injured or killed."Wyatt explained with a shake of his head. "Rufus and I argued but we were overruled. "

Subconsciously Lucy's left hand went to the spot on her neck where Flynn had stabbed her with the needle.

"So they really have somebody to replace all of us?"Lucy wondered. "Even Rufus?"

"He didn't buy that either but we were shown the door before we got any details."Wyatt said angrily. "They said it was too important of a mission for us to screw it up again. But I don't like the idea of some rookie going in and not having a grasp of the consequences."

"Me either."Lucy replied looking down at her half full glass of water.

"I should probably go."Wyatt said after a few minutes as he stood.

"Wyatt."Lucy called halting Wyatt before he reached the door.

"Yeah?"Wyatt asked turning.

"Get some sleep."Lucy advised.

"I'll try."Wyatt promised before leaving.
