Wyatt wandered around the industry, noticing people he didn't even know worked there, it was a big place, it was hard to know everyone when your taking trips in a time machine as soon as you get there.
He headed into the conference room that usually Mason was watching over everyone in, where he'd take the recording from Rufus and give it to Rittenhouse. Rufus says Mason's sorry, that he'd stop if he could, but he has a family too and he doesn't want Rittenhouse to target them. Wyatt hated the idea, he knew they had to be careful what they said and Wyatt wasn't one to be careful with his words. But he put up with it because Rittenhouse had threatened Rufus' family enough.
He sat down on one of the chairs at the end of the table, staring blankly at the wall on the other side of the room.
He didn't even startle when Rufus and Jiya entered the room, his eyes were already occupied. Rufus noticed the distant look in his eyes and took Jiya's hand as he walked over to him."Wyatt? Hey. You with us?" Rufus called, waving a hand in front of Wyatts face, he blinked and looked at Rufus and Jiya, leaning over him like curious vultures. He cleared his throat, making the pair give him space to get up. Rufus was sort of used to Wyatt drifting into daydreams here and there, it was usually flashbacks so he wouldn't intervene, but he was going to invite Wyatt to come to dinner with him and Jiya. "Welcome back, buddy. We just wanted to know if you'd like to come to dinner with us?"
"I know it'll be strange without Lucy with you, because you know, we're basically going out as a team. But I'm sure she wouldn't mind." Jiya added, tucked happily under Rufus's arm. Wyatt was touched that they even thought of asking him to come with them, but he shook his head at the suggestion.
"It's a nice offer, but I'm not the third wheel type, besides, I think I'll keep Lucy company." Wyatt shrugged, pulling himself to his feet and smiling at the two. "Enjoy your dinner, hopefully Mason doesn't call you up with a mission, I'm hoping Flynn lies low for a couple of weeks."
"Right, thank you. We'll see you...whenever knowing this job, it could be ten minutes. Tell Lucy we said good night." Rufus nodded, patting Wyatts back and heading out with Jiya still comfy at his side, his arm curled around her waist. Wyatt sighed, he was back to sitting in the darkness, it was already late and Mason had sent almost everyone home, keeping a few behind to keep an eye on Lucy. He was guessing Mason didn't know he was still here, probably guessing he left hours ago. So he stood from his chair and headed downstairs. There was dim light around the time ship, making the silver shimmer under the light, it was hard to think they travelled in that rust bucket, putting their life in its hands almost everyday. It seemed mellow when everyone was gone, no loud chatter, no constant typing or commands from their bosses, everything was chilled. He glanced around, seeing the bright white light of the med bay, practically lighting half of the industry. He saw movement in the office beside it, knowing the doctors were probably sat in there.
He headed over to the med bay, unsure if Carol would still be in there but when he quietly pushed open the door, it was only Lucy. She turned to look when she heard the door creak open, she had to admit she was surprised he was still here."Wyatt," Lucy said in slight disbelief. "You're still here?"
"I've got nothing else to do, plus I thought you could use some company."
"The doctors are here." Lucy pointed out, Wyatt gave his usual confident smirk and a slight shrug.
"Well the doctors are boring company, me on the other hand," Wyatt smirked, sitting in the chair beside her bed. "I have many hidden stories."
"Oh I didn't realise," Lucy said sarcastically, making Wyatt's smirk smear into a smile. "Well seem as it looks like you're offering, tell me one."
"No." He answered, a smile still on his face, Lucy's one fell, giving him a perplexed look. "I like being a mystery Miss Preston, I thought you knew that by now."
"Right. Right. Fine." Lucy sighed, resting her head on her pillow and looking over at him. "It's quite scary here when everyone's gone, isn't it?"
"In some ways I guess, feels like at any moment someone's going to come in and shoot the place." Wyatt mumbled, glancing outside of the room into the faded darkness beyond the door. "Rufus and Jiya are on a date tonight."
"I told you it was going to happen, you can see the gooey look they give each other. They're perfect for each other." Lucy said her voice switching to high pitched as she fangirled, Wyatt shot her another smirk, shifting to get comfortable in his chair.
"Yeah, they seem pretty in love. Did you know they even play video games together?" Wyatt asked with a chuckle, Lucy put a hand over her heart.
"Oh my god! That's so cute!" She squealed happily like a child. "They need a name!"
"A name?"
"Yes like a name for them, like when you mash up a name, like ours, ours would be something like...Wucy!" Lucy beamed excitedly, her mind running for names.
"Why can't it be Lyatt?" Wyatt frowned, thinking Wucy sounded to girly, but he couldn't help but like the idea of it.
"Because Wucy sounds adorable!" Lucy exclaimed, "So, we need a name for Rufus and Jiya..."
"Ok then...how about....Riya or Jufus?" Wyatt suggested, waiting for Lucy's opinion, knowing it was vital to deciding the pairs name.
"Jufus is funny and cute - Jufus it is...for the time being anyway." Lucy grinned, "You know...our name could be Loganston too, that's kinda catchy."
"Nah, I think we should stick with Wucy. It has a ring to it." Wyatt smiled sweetly at her, Lucy nodded in agreement.
"Alright then soldier, Wucy and Jufus it is." Lucy giggled, her cheeks tinting a slight red. "I mean if we were in a relationship, that'll be our name. Not that it's our name now, because you know. We aren't together but maybe that uh, that could just be our...nickname?"
Wyatt's cheeks flushed the same colour as hers, "Yeah, if we were in a relationship. Uh, but for now nicknames cool." Wyatt muttered nervously, rubbing the nape of his neck. "So...time for sleep don't you think?"
