Met my goal of finishing all my Timeless fics before the premiere of season two. :) Thanks to everyone who left reviews on any of them.

Title: Missing
author: Cindy Ryan
notes and summary: see part one

After an hour long debrief with Agent Christopher and Conner Mason Wyatt returned to the infirmary. The doctor had diagnosed Lucy with a concussion but otherwise fine outside of a few cuts and bruises. He expected to find Lucy resting but instead the historian was staring at a packet of legal papers.

"Hi."Wyatt greeted.

"Hi, how'd the debrief go?"Lucy asked.

"Usual with the exception Agent Christopher gave us all praise for apprehending and bringing in Flynn."

Lucy smiled but glanced back at the papers.

"What's that?"Wyatt asked.

"'My new landlord is efficient."Lucy replied holding up a set of keys."They sent everything by special courier. Jiya signed for it."

"When do you move in?"Wyatt inquired.

"In a few weeks."Lucy said as she leaned back against the wall."I'm going to have to buy furniture. The last couple jumps I haven't recgnoized half of what's supposed to be mine."

"The side affects of time travel."Wyatt commented with a smile.

Wyatt sat down next to her and Lucy rested her head on Wyatt's left shoulder. After a few minutes Wyatt shifted so he could pull Lucy into a one sided embrace. He was glad when she didn't shy away. Proved how much progress she'd made in such a short time. Still the image of her still and bleeding form against the courtyard wall would stay with Wyatt a long time.

"Ready to get out of here?"Wyatt asked quietly.

"Yes."Lucy said as she stood. "Going to have to tell my mother something so she can wake me every couple hours."

"Stay with me."Wyatt suggested as he got to his feet. "Then you won't have the added stresss of remembering a cover story."

"You don't have to..."Lucy began.

"I want to."Wyatt said softly as he took her right hand in his and tugged her to the door. "Come on let's pick up some food and we can swing by your Mom's and get some of your things."

"Okay."Lucy agreed.

As they left Wyatt released Lucy's hand giving her space. However when they neared the front door Lucy reached over and took Wyatt's right hand once more. Wyatt smiled.

The next day Lucy was exhausted and her head hurt. The two hour concussion checks while necessary hadn't allowed either of them much rest. Still life went on and Lucy forced herself into the shower and then got dressed. When she emerged she found Wyatt sitting on the sofa a brown bag on the coffee table in front of him along with two to-go cups of coffee.

"You are the most wonderful human being ever."Lucy exclaimed as she picked up her coffee and took a long drink before sitting down next to him.

"How are you feeling?"Wyatt asked with a smile.

"Head hurts and my right side aches a bit probably from where he slammed me into the ground."Lucy commented.

Wyatt's face darkened and Lucy saw anger flicker across along with several other emotions she couldn't place. She reached over and took Wyatt's right hand in hers and squeezed it.

"I'm alright, Wyatt."Lucy stated.

"I know and you'll continue to be."Wyatt stated quietly. "You're one of the strongest people I know."

"I don't feel very strong."Lucy said her voice barely audible.

"You are."Wyatt countered as he squeezed her hand. "Most people would've fallen apart with all you've been through in the last few months. You bended but didn't break. That's strength I wish I'd had after Jess died."

Lucy reached up with her free hand and lightly touched Wyatt's right cheek. They'd both been through so much. He didn't give himself enough credit. The fact that they were both standing said a lot about who they were. After a few moments Lucy leaned down and rested her head on Wyatt's chest. He wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace.

"I'm glad you're in my life; Wyatt."Lucy said quietly. "I don't think I would've survived this without you."

"You would have."Wyatt responded as he rested his head on top of hers. "But I'm glad our paths crossed too."

Lucy smiled and she knew then that despite all the bad she would get through this. There were brighter days ahead. With friends like Wyatt, Rufus and Jiya by her side Lucy knew things would get easier.
