I know there was a mention in an episode of the mothership having better tech and cloaking capabilities of course now I can't find what episode that was.

Title: Future Possibilities
author: Cindy Ryan
notes and summary: See part one

The area where they'd spotted Flynn had several taverns, hotels and shops so the crowd thickened noticeably. Wyatt and Lucy had to go single file through the next few blocks. Though Lucy noted Wyatt kept a firm grip on her right hand.
For a moment Lucy thought they'd lost Flynn then she spotted a familiar figure disappearing into a large two story brick building towards the end of the block on the right side.

"Brick building, end of the block."Lucy pointed out to Wyatt.

"I saw him."Wyatt acknowledged. "Wonder where his minions are?"

"Lurking somewhere I'm sure."Lucy replied grimly.

Lucy and Wyatt had barely made it to the tavern where they had spotted Flynn when a commotion broke out across the street. They both turned to see a carriage had collided with a horse drawn wagon spilling the crates from the wagon and breaking a few.

"Traffic accident 1864 style."Wyatt muttered with a shake of his head.

They were standing near the alley at the left corner of the tavern out of the way of foot traffic. Lucy started to respond when she felt something cold and hard pressed against the small of her back. Wyatt spun around a half second later blue eyes narrowed. Lucy wasn't sure if she had made a sound or if his sixth sense Delta Force instincts had kicked in. Either way Lucy could tell by the look on Wyatt's face that the person holding the weapon on her wasn't a random robber.

"You'd think you two would avoid alleys after last time."Flynn stated smugly. "You make this far too easy."

Lucy saw Wyatt's right hand inch towards his own gun which was tucked in a holster under his suit jacket.

"Wouldn' t do that."Garcia Flynn's quiet voice warned.

"We're here to talk."Lucy explained.

"Why don't I believe that?"Garcia replied.

Lucy felt him move the gun from her back and saw it out of the corner of her eye as Flynn pressed it against the right side of Lucy's head. The historian saw anger flash across Wyatt's face before it was masked.

"Okay you got us. We're here to save history and talk."Wyatt quipped though the amusement didn't reach his eyes. "Let her go."

"What do you want to talk about?"Flynn asked.

"We want the journal."Lucy stated.

"Not for sale."Garcia replied cocking back the hammer of the gun.

Lucy closed her eyes at the sound trying to force down the fear.

"We're not buying."Wyatt replied evenly. "You're going to help us."

"Why would I do that?"Garcia asked and Lucy could hear the smile in his voice.

"Because we want to help you take down Rittenhouse."Lucy explained. "We need to know what's in the journal to make sure we're on the same page."

After several long minutes of silence Garcia gripped Lucy's right shoulder but she felt him lower the gun.

"Journal's in the mothership."Flynn said quietly. "It's Lucy's journal she'll come with me; alone."

Wyatt pulled out his gun leveling it at Flynn causing Lucy to step between them.

"Not going to happen."Wyatt stated angrily. "Package deal. Where she goes; I go."

"Then no journal."Flynn replied smugly.

Wyatt reached out to pull Lucy towards him but Lucy avoided his grasp.

"Keep an eye on Hines just as we planned."Lucy instructed Wyatt. "I'll be alright."

"I'm not letting you go anywhere alone with him."Wyatt responded tightly.

Lucy glanced back at Flynn before stepping towards Wyatt.

"Wyatt if this arrangement is going to work we have to show some trust sometime; might as well be now."Lucy argued.

At that Wyatt did pull Lucy aside. The historian saw the conflict on his face and hated that she put it there. He'd been through so much already with Jessica, then Elizabeth and now she was adding stress. It couldn't be helped. Lucy wasn't all that eager to go anywhere with Garcia Flynn but somebody had to step up.

"With Flynn's attack we nearly lost you."Wyatt whispered heatedly. "I agree that we have to show trust but trusting him with you….."

Lucy took a step nearer to Wyatt needing to somehow reassure him. They'd become so much closer the last few weeks. Lucy knew the turmoil of Elizabeth's existence and non-existence in their lives had taken on Wyatt. That on the heels of Flynn's attack…..Lucy understood what it was costing Wyatt to do what she was asking. They didn't have a choice.

"We need the journal."Lucy stated quietly. "It'll be okay."

Wyatt snatched a glare at Flynn before looking back at Lucy. He sighed, nodded and stepped back.

"Where do you want to meet?"Wyatt asked.

"Where we went in the Wigwam in an hour."Lucy replied walking towards Flynn.

"Let's go."Flynn suggested.

Lucy followed into the darkness of the alley.

It took all of Wyatt's will power to not follow Lucy even from a distance. Logically he knew she was right. That in order to move forward they needed the journal. In order to get the journal they had to show some kind of trust. Flynn had shown over and over that he was only out for himself. Coercing Anthony proved he wasn't a team player. Though what they needed Flynn for now was on his playing field. It worked to his advantage. Lucy believed that would aid them in gaining his cooperation. Lucy was the better person than Wyatt was. He'd seen and endured too much both with Jessica and losing his team in the middle east.

After several long moments Wyatt forced himself to return to the main street. With a last glance back at the alley Wyatt merged into foot traffic and headed for Hines's office. If Flynn did double cross them and succeed with his plan Wyatt wanted to thrawt at least part of it.

"You left it here?"Lucy asked Flynn in disbelief when they arrived back at the mothership.

"Yes."The former NSA agent replied simply as he trudged through the grass to the time machine.

Lucy glanced around the small park about half a mile from where she'd parted with Wyatt. It was near the lake with a few houses near by but nothing that could be classified as a neighborhood. Still the trees that surrounded the mothership weren't nearly enough to conceal it.

"Flynn..."Lucy began as she scrambled to catch up.

"Unlike yours this time machine is equipped with a bit of a cloaking device."Garcia explained as he paused at the foot of the mothership. "Not as glamorous or high tech as anything in the movies but it works well enough to conceal it when we need it to."

As Lucy watched there was a bit of a flicker in the lights of the mothership and then the door rolled open.

"Anthony saw us coming and uncloaked it."Flynn continued as he climbed in."I'll be just a moment."

A few minutes later Flynn reappeared with a familiar looking journal. He hopped down to the ground and crossed to where Lucy stood. Garcia handed it to the historian silently. Lucy took it before he could change his mind.

"Thank you."Lucy commented before she flipped through it quickly to confirm it was the same one she'd seen before.

"I haven't altered anything."Flynn insisted quietly. "It's the same as when you gave it to me."

"An alternate me."Lucy replied automatically.

"Perhaps."Flynn acknowledged. "I'll take you back."

"Then what?"Lucy asked as they started walking. "Things go back to how they were?"

"You attack Rittehouse from your end and I'll continue from mine."Flynn replied.

"But your way involves changing history."Lucy argued. "I can't..."

"Rittenhouse are major players in every era, Lucy."Flynn said. "They're connected to many things."

"Work with us."Lucy pleaded. "We can find ways to take them out without..."

"They took too much from me."Flynn snapped his eyes flashing with anger. "They will answer for that."

Before Lucy could respond Flynn turned and faded into the crowd. With a sigh Lucy turned, got her bearings, and made her way to the Wigwam and Wyatt.
