This is short but I didn't want to leave you guys in suspense too long. :)

Title: Future Possibilities

notes and summary: See part one

"I haven't told Mason about this yet so you might want to close the door."Jiaya said as the trio climbed into the time machine. "Even though I know it smells."

Wyatt closed the door behind him and he and Rufus crowded around Jiaya as she sat in the pilot seat typing on the keyboards.

"I found it behind one of the monitors."Jiaya continued. "It had your initials on it Wyatt."

"So how'd you know it was something to take a look at?"Wyatt prompted anxious to see the message.

"It may be old by Elizabeth's standards but it was nothing I've seen before luckily it was compatible with our computers.I didn't watch the whole thing."Jiaya stated as she hit a few more keys and a video box popped up on one of the monitors.

"Do you want us to leave?"Rufus asked.

"Just play it."Wyatt ordered with a shake of his head.

Jiaya hit a button and the video expanded to full screen. There was a bit of static and then Elizabeth appeared. The area behind and around his daughter was dark so Wyatt couldn't tell where she was but she looked anxious and worried.

"Dad, I have no idea if this is going to work."Elizabeth began. "Even if it does who knows if your co-workers will believe me. So if you're seeing this that means part one of my plan worked and I got there. Mom had told me people would have her put stuff in the lifeboat for safe keeping in the event of a time ripple. So I'm leaving this here for you just in case. Got to go...I love you."

The image faded and Wyatt felt his throat close. He'd hoped the video would be longer.

"Wow she really does look like you."Rufus said softly.

"Is that it?"Wyatt asked quietly.

Jiaya shook her head as she clicked through what was on the drive.

"There are pictures; hundreds of them."Jiaya responded as small squares appeared on the screen.

"Click on one."Wyatt suggested leaning forward.

The image Jiaya chose enlarged and Wyatt sucked in a sharp breath. In the picture Elizabeth stood smiling next to a younger dark haired man in an Army uniform. Wyatt could tell it was a cadet uniform possibly ROTC. The kid looked barely out of high school. While Elizabeth had Wyatt's features it was clear from this picture that Daniel had taken after Lucy. Elizabeth's words from earlier echoed through Wyatt's thoughts.

'You were his hero.'

"Wyatt."Rufus called snapping Wyatt from the memory. "You look like you know who that is."

"Yeah I do."Wyatt replied grimly. "With everything that happened since we got back I didn't get a chance to tell you. After meeting with Elizabeth Lucy and I learned that Elizabeth wasn't an only child; she had a brother."

"Wow."Jiaya exclaimed quietly looking once more at the picture.

"She said he was the reason she came back."Wyatt continued. "Daniel was erased during one of the time shifts."

"Sorry man."Rufus commented.

"Hang on."Jiaya said as she straightened. "If he was erased how did she remember him to tell you?"

"Apparently time travel runs in the family."Wyatt explained with a faint smile.

"You mean she was..."Rufus began with a grin.

"Like mother like daughter."Wyatt continued the brief smile vanishing."She was on a mission when the time shift happened. When she came back Danny was gone."

"How awful."Jiaya sympathized.

"Maybe once we get Flynn and then start cleaning up his mess things will go back..."Rufus trailed off.

"Rufus do you mind sitting with Lucy while I go through these?"Wyatt asked.

"Sure."Rufus replied as he stood and opened the lifeboat door.

"And I got stuff to do."Jiaya stated as she hopped to her feet and followed Rufus out of the time machine.

Taking a deep breath Wyatt sat down in the pilot seat. After a long moment he began to look through the pictures.
