Sorry for the lack of updates real life has been busy the last few weeks. Not much writing time.

This story will now be an AU since in the series Jiya and Rufus's relationship didn't evolve until much later than I have this set.

Title: Future possibilities
author: Cindy Ryan
notes and summary: see part one

Jiya was a geek, a tech head and she was proud of it. Though her older brother Mark had instilled in her a love of running. One of her morning routines that would probably surprise people was a run before work and an hour one on the weekend. Sometimes she went through Golden Gate park (What Star Trek fan wouldn't?) and other times just through her neighborhood. The morning after the cloak and dagger meet with Wyatt and Rufus Jiya did a half hour run longer than usual. It was a good thing she had because if she'd been back at normal time she would've interrupted a robbery.

Or what appeared to be a robbery attempt. Jiya stood shakily in her doorway at seven am looking at her destroyed living room. Furniture was toppled and broken, flat screen tv was on the floor face down the screen cracked. There was no one there Jiya had already semi-bravely checked and then made a mad dash to her bed room where her laptop had been. That was the only thing missing. Rittenhouse was fast and efficient Jiya thought angrily. She'd only been on board Wyatt's team for less than forty-eight hours. Somehow they'd found out or at least were very suspicious and now Jiya was looking at everything she owned broken or destroyed. With a trembling hand Jiya pulled her cell phone out of her right jacket pocket. She'd already called the police and they were on their way. Now she had one more call to make one she didn't want to. Jiya knew Rufus already had enough to worry about with his mother and brother the last thing she wanted to do was add one more thing. However she knew if she didn't it'd be worse. Wyatt and Rufus might circle the wagons and kick Jiya off the team and that was the last thing she wanted. She needed to help; to make a difference. If they stopped Rittenhouse people she cared about would be safe. That was all Jiya wanted. With a sigh she hit a speed dial and raised the device to her left ear.

Lucy and Wyatt were having breakfast in her infirmary room when his cell phone had rang. Lucy had watched with concern as Wyatt's face had paled and his mouth had set into a grim line. Whoever the conversation had been with it'd been short and to the point. In less than five minutes the Delta Force member had put the phone back on the bed across from the visitor's chair Wyatt was sitting in and met Lucy's anxious gaze.

"What happened?"Lucy asked quietly.

"That was Rufus he's on his way to Jiya's."Wyatt explained grimly. "Her place was broken into this morning; trashed."

"Is she okay?"Lucy inquired inching forward from where she sat on the bed pushing the half eaten breakfast on the bedside tray away.

"Physically yes."Wyatt replied with relief. "She's shaken up; angry. Guess what the only thing taken was?"

"Her computer."Lucy surmised. "Rittenhouse."

"That's the running theory."Wyatt said angrily. "I shouldn't have brought her in."

"We needed her help."Lucy responded. "You did everything you could to minimize the risk."

"Obviously it wasn't enough."Wyatt said with a sigh. "We need to step things up. I'll call Christopher see if we can make the meeting earlier."

Lucy nodded reaching over and taking Wyatt's right hand in hers and squeezing it. Wyatt glanced down at their hands before he leaned in and kissed Lucy. He sat on the bed next to her and Lucy rested her head on his left shoulder.

"You're going to go over to Jiya's?"Lucy asked.

"Yeah as soon as I call Christopher."Wyatt replied. "Need to talk to Rufus too."

"Tell her we'll figure out who did it."Lucy continued quietly. "Rittenhouse can't keep terrorizing people. They need to be held accountable."

"I will and we'll make them pay."Wyatt promised. "So nobody else is ever afraid of them again."

Lucy squeezed Wyatt's hand once more. She was so afraid this was going to get so much worse before it was over but they didn't have a choice. After a few minutes Wyatt pulled out his phone and called Christopher. After ending the call Wyatt told Lucy that the Homeland security agent had still been on the plane when he called but he'd gotten through. She'd agreed to move the meeting up and would let them know as soon as she arrived back in San Francisco

"Good."Lucy said with a nod as Wyatt stood. "Dr. Campbell should be here soon. I'll talk to him see if he'll release me sooner."

Wyatt placed a hand on Lucy's right cheek and she leaned into his touch.

"Don't badger him too much."Wyatt advised. "Go with his recommendations. We still don't have all the lab results back on whatever drug Flynn used on you."

"I know."Lucy said softly.

"I know you want to help and we need you."Wyatt continued quietly. "Don't push things, okay? Promise me you'll listen to him?"

"I promise."Lucy replied.

Wyatt smiled leaning down to kiss Lucy once more before he turned and left. Lucy watched him leave knowing that she'd break that promise if she had to. Rittenhouse had to be taken down no matter what.

Rufus stepped around three uniformed police officers as he walked down the hallway to Jiya's apartment. He swallowed hard seeing detectives and two more officers in the living room. Rufus stepped through the open doorway and was immediately blocked by one of the young male uniformed officers.

"Sorry, Sir you can't..."The youth began but was interrupted.

"Rufus!"Jiya exclaimed as she stood from where she'd been sitting at the breakfast bar and ran towards him.

"Jiya!"Rufus replied as he stepped around the young cop and took Jiya in his arms. "You okay?"

Jiya nodded burning her head against Rufus's chest. He sighed and rested his head on top of hers as he looked around at the destruction.

"I'm sorry."Rufus whispered just loud enough for his girlfriend to hear.

Jiya tightened her hold. Rufus had to stop his imagination from coming up with scenarios of how much worse it could've been if Jiya'd been home.

"You're alright; that's all that matters."Rufus continued quietly.

Rittenhouse had once more come after someone Rufus cared about. Whether this was because of his involvement with Jiya or because she was helping Rufus and Wyatt it didn't matter. He'd find out who did this and they wouldn't hurt anyone he cared about ever again.
