Forever Timeless

Chapter Nine

Historical Inaccuracy: In chapter eight I stated that FDR accepted the democratic nom in DC, but as I was writing this chapter I realized it was Chicago.

3rd POV

Lucy steadied herself as the Lifeboat shuddered as it landed. This thing really needed to be updated, especially if they were going to be doing this for a while. She looked in front of her to see Wyatt with what was likely to be the same expression she had. After a few more minutes of composing themselves, Rufus led the way out of the Lifeboat and onto the )
ground of the abandoned warehouse they landed in.

"Where are we?" Wyatt asked with eyes wandering around the large room.

"Somewhere in Chicago. I'm not sure where, but Flynn is already here. Come on, we have to find him," Lucy says, grabbing her coat and putting it on.

The trio exit the warehouse and wander out onto Michigan Avenue. There were plenty of people wandering the streets, probably more than usual due to the democratic convention.

"So where is the convention being held," Wyatt asked, placing a light hand on Lucy's back.

Lucy restrained a shiver," The Chicago Stadium."

Lucy stood at the edge of the sidewalk and hailed a cab, before climbing in and giving directions to the Chicago Stadium. The three arrived a few minutes later and exited the cab to see the masses standing in front of the Chicago Stadium. Lucy led the group towards the entrance of the stadium, pushing their way past people in order to enter as quickly as possible.

"Where do we even start? There are hundreds here," Rufus whispered intently in Lucy's ear, as he eyes the crowd.

"I guess we just go in and look around. We'll probably run into him. Normally, it seems like he's looking for us," Lucy sighed as the three passed through the gate.

"We need to split up. This is too big of an area," Wyatt said, looking around," Lucy and I will go together. We meet here in thirty minutes. Rufus, did you get a gun like I told you?"

I watched as Rufus nodded and patted his coat pocket," You both have a gun?!"

The two nodded simultaneously at Lucy, "Well, I should get one."

Wyatt grinned at Lucy," I'll teach you when we get home," he paused for a minute, "Alright, thirty minutes, Rufus. We meet back here."

As we parted ways I felt Wyatt's hand gravitate towards mine before gently squeezing it,"So you want to learn how to shoot?"

Lucy shrugged and squeezed back, "I just feel like I'm kind of useless against protecting myself when we are being shot at. I don't like that feeling."

Wyatt nodded in understanding, "Alright, well then when we get back."

The two carried on walking around the left side of the stadium until Wyatt stopped dead in his tracks.

"Him," Wyatt pointed down the pathway," One of Flynn's guys. He'll be near by."

"Why don't we just go up to him and say we want to speak to Flynn," Lucy whispered up to Wyatt.

"I mean we could, but I'd rather not risk getting shot," Wyatt answered softly.

Lucy nodded and Wyatt cautiously pulled her closer to where Flynn's guys were, "We're just going to look for Flynn, Lucy."

Lucy gripped his hand tightly as they made their way closer and closer to the familiar man, "There," Lucy pointed a few yards ahead of Flynn's guy.

Wyatt's eye line followed her finger to where Flynn was standing, perched on a railing near the entrance to where guests entered to go to the field, "Come on."

As the duo headed towards Flynn, Lucy pulled Wyatt to a stop when Flynn's eyes met theirs.
He couldn't leave. They had to many questions.

"Flynn!" Wyatt shouted, "We want to talk!"

Lucy watched as Flynn stopped from fleeing and turned back to face them before approaching, slowly.

"Talk? And what could you two possibly want to talk abut with me?" Flynn asked as he made his way towards Wyatt and Lucy.

"Rittenhouse," Lucy looked up to face Flynn," And you."

Flynn's eyes darted down to Wyatt and Lucy's entwined hands for a moment before darting back up to their faces, "What about them?"

Wyatt stepped a little closer to Flynn," They targeted us, yesterday. We want to know more about them."

Flynn let out a laugh, "So you're on my side now?"

"No," Lucy stated firmly," You are killing innocent people. You tried to kill us, too. You're just like them. I'm on his and Rufus' side."

Wyatt felt a small smile tug at his lips. Every once and a while during a mission Lucy would get this surge of courage, that had nothing to do with adrenaline, and nothing could stop her.

"Ah, yes. So are you two?" Flynn asked glancing down at their hands once agin.

Wyatt looked warily at Lucy for a moment. They hadn't defined anything yet, but they did seem to be acting like they were together.

"Yes, we are. Now, what are they?"

"If you really wish to know that badly meet me at Millennial Park in a hour," Flynn turned to leave.

"Wait, Flynn, are you still going to try and-" Lucy started.

Flynn let out a low chuckle, "Oh,no. This is far more interesting."

Wyatt and Lucy watched Flynn leave the stadium and Lucy sighed, "Thank god. So, we're together?"

Lucy attempted to hid the smile that so desperately wanted to crawl up and onto her face. This was always the hardest part. Defining it.

"Well, yeah I hope so," Wyatt stated looking around for Rufus.

Lucy could tell he was nervous. Trying to avoid her eye contact, not really dive into this conversation.

"Okay," she sighed.

Wyatt's head snapped to hers, "You're okay with it?"

Lucy laughed quietly and grabbed his hand again, "Well I would hope so. We've kissed a few times, slept in the same bed, and have been doing this all day," she motioned to their hands.

"I'm really glad," Wyatt smiled at her," Now, let's go find Rufus and get to Millennial. We need to be careful."

Lucy nodded and followed Wyatt towards the entrance, while trying to focus on the mission. However, the thoughts of Wyatt were to much to keep hidden at the back of her head for too long.

AN: So sorry I couldn't update yesterday! Exams are coming up and my teachers love me and gave me a ton of HW. This week's chapters will probably be pretty short due to reasons stated above! Honestly, though. I love you guys so much! I never could've imagined this much positive feedback and reads from a show that started in October. It's crazy:) Also, MONDAY NIGHT IS TMRW💞 Well, it's nearly midnight and I'm super tired, so sorry if there are any grammatical errors. Lots of love to you guys💜
