Forever Timeless

Chapter One: Stay

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey guys so, it's Spencer! This is gonna be my fanfiction about "Timeless" and what I think should happen after 1x16. So, obviously, this is taking place after "The Red Scare" episode. I would really appreciate your feedback, for I am not a writer and do not plan to be one! This is all just for fun. Also, all rights to the characters, 1x16 plotline, etc. go to NBC's "Timeless" as well as Eric Kripke and Shawn Ryan ( the co-creators) Without further ado I will leave it off at the scene where Lucy talks with her mother.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Lucy, you won't lose me. I promise. Rittenhouse would never allow it..." My mother said with a smirk on her face. I fastly pulled away from our emotional hug. 

"What? Wh-wait, What? What did you say?" I asked her thinking I must've been dreaming or hallucinating. 

"Rittenhouse would never allow you to take the Lifeboat, to make me sick all to get back some girl that no one but you knows or even cares about." mom said. She had replied as if I had just asked the stupidest question in the world. 

"How do you know the name, Rittenhouse-" I said as she cut me off

"No, no no. Just listen. Just listen," she hushed me. I didn't know what to expect anymore. I felt like I was going to cry right there on the spot looking into my mother's eyes.

"How do you think I met your father? We both come from good, strong Rittenhouse families, and that almost makes you royalty. Sweetheart, you've made me so proud. You've made everybody so proud. You have such an incredible future. As we speak, Rittenhouse has an operative on the mothership, and soon they will control everything. The past, the present, the future, and together we will change history." She said with dominance, control, and passion. 

Things were just starting to look up for me. Rittenhouse ( we thought at least) was gone, Wyatt and I finally had a chance of being, well I don't know, something, and I was going to get Amy back. How could everything go from 10/10 to the worst thing possibly imagined? No second thoughts, I bolted up the stairs and locked my room door. I didn't know what to do. I must've sat there sulking for at least an hour. Suddenly, I knew what I had to do. If mom knew I ran away she, or Rittenhouse for that matter would come looking for me. I had to sneak out. It was about midnight, so I'm sure she was asleep. I packed a duffle bag with clothes, makeup, a hairbrush, and my phone charger. Enough to last me about a week. I slowly looked over to both the identical, filled and empty journals on my desk. Knowing that Rittenhouse would search my room and find this, I grabbed both and took a deep breath. Without hesitation, I hopped out my window. Thankfully, my room was only on the first story. I dashed into the dark night hoping to find my car in the driveway, and once I did, I opened the door and got in. I put the key in the ignition and drove away as fast as I could. I just didn't know where to go.  I could always go stay with Rufus! No, no, no. Jiya's staying there I thought with a smirk. What about staying at Agent Christophers? She had a lovely home! No, that would be the first place Rittenhouse would look.  I could've stayed at Noah's but I just broke up with him, and judging by how close he is with my mother, I'm sure he's Rittenhouse too. Maybe I should just change my name, dye my hair, and move to Canada. It'd be easier starting over than to live in Rittenhouse territory. I concluded none of these options were good, but I refused to accept the one that was staring me in the face, so I drove around for a few hours. Past all of the places mom used to take me and Amy when we were little, before all of this Rittenhouse nonsense. The library. She would always read us historical biographies in the children's room.  That very library was where I fell in love with history, or at least, history how she told it. How much of history was real? At this point, I didn't know. I kept on driving until I passed the pier. We sat right there on that bench by the crashing waves eating candy floss. Man did those seals and pelicans and seagulls like candy floss! 

Mom always said we should never feed them because it could kill them or make their life shorter, but Amy would reply time after time, "They deserve a little something sweet in their life," as she kept feeding them. She had always had a deep passion for animals. I looked at the time on the car. It was 2:45. I needed to find a place to stay, since staying at my mother's was obviously not an option. Lost in emotions, I headed to 1313 Heavenbrooke Dr. I had only been here a few times before. Once after the Abe Lincoln Assassination and another time after The French and Indian War. I knew this was my only hope. At 3 am, I knocked on his door, hoping, praying for him to answer. After a few minutes of waiting I was ready to go back to the car and call it a day, but right as I was about to turn my back the door swung open. Wyatt with a tight white tank top and sweatpants was standing the doorway smirking that amazing smirk of his.(which I totally didn't find absolutely adorable, btw) I could tell by the bags under his eyes that he hadn't gotten much sleep either.

"Luc, it's 3 in the morning, what are you doing here?" He said kind of sounding annoyed. With the tone of his voice, I shook my head and stared at my feet.

"You know, maybe I could just...sleep in my car...that's an option I hadn't considered..." I said quietly while turning to leave, but I felt this hand on my shoulder. His hands were soft and gentle, but also firm and protecting. Figures that he's a soldier. I turned around to face him as a tear slid down his face.

"Stay." He said as I walked into his apartment and set down my bag.
