Title: Future Possibilities

notes and summary: see part one

"You wanted to see me, Ma'am?"Wyatt asked as he stepped into Christopher's office the next afternoon.

"Close the door."The older woman ordered crisply.

Wyatt stifled a sigh and closed the door. He walked to stand in front of her desk and stood at attention; and waited.

"Personally I understand why you disobeyed my order."Denise began quietly absently fiddling with a pen between her hands. "That doesn't change the fact that you did."

Wyatt remained stiff staring straight ahead at the wall above his boss's head.

"There will be a disciplinary mark in your record."Denise continued. "However, I know from experience that trying to put you on any kind of downtime from the team won't work."

"Isn't the team done; Ma'am?"Wyatt asked meeting Denise's gaze. "Flynn's in custody."

"No, we still have Rittenhouse to mop up so there will still be a few missions."Denise stated. "Now that Flynn is out of the picture your job will be to protect your team. If you go against orders again on a mission and it puts them..."

"I would never put my team in danger; Ma'am."Wyatt interupted firmly.

"Good."Denise affirmed. "Dismissed."

Wyatt turned and left the office. It wasn't until the door was shut behind him and he was alone in the hall that he leaned against the right wall and closed his eye sinking back against it in relief.

A month later Jiya greeted the team when they climbed out of the Lifeboat. Wyatt saw the wide smile on her face and raised an eyebrow.

"You look like a three year old at Christmas; what's up?"Wyatt inquired.

"Something came for you."Jiya said practically bouncing. "I put it in the main conference room; on the table."

"Who would send us a package?"Lucy wondered glancing at Wyatt.

"Not normal FedEx package."Jiya corrected still grinning. "It's from Danny! Coolest message in the bottle; ever."

Catching Jiya's excitement Lucy walked quickly through the launch area and up the stairs to the conference room. She heard the others close on her heels. When Lucy opened the door and stepped inside she saw the 'package' instantly. It was a gray metal about the size of a loaf of bread and the same width. As Lucy got closer she saw it had a glass section in the middle; inside the glass was a screen. On one side of the screen was a speaker; below the glass was a small black button. Lucy glanced over at Wyatt.

"Press it."Lucy ordered.

Wyatt reached around and hit the black button. The screen came to life and Lucy gasped at the picture of Danny and Elizabeth. They were standing in front of either Danny's timeship or a similar one. The date below the picture was September 15, 2041. Instead of Danny's voice it was their daughter's that came through the speaker.

"Mom, Dad; sorry this took so long it took us a bit to figure out how to send something back remotely."Elizabeth began. "As you can tell capturing Davis and Flynn restored my timeline and I don't know how to thank you. Sending this picture doesn't seem like enough. Hang on; Danny wants to say something."

"Just wanted to say thanks for helping me through my one and only time travel experience."Danny stated and Lucy could picture the wide smile. "I always respected all of you for doing that but now it's upped a notch. I'll stick to the historical research part and let Lizzy and the others to the time travel thing."

There was a bit of static and Lucy thought the recording was over and then Elizabeth's voice broadcast again.

"Oh one more thing don't try to open the container we think once that happens the whole thing or at very least the picture will vanish. We set a beacon on the device so we'll know that it got there so don't worry about trying to send anything as a reply. Thanks again and we love you."

The recording ended and Lucy sniffled wiping away tears as she picked up the 'bottle' for a closer look at the picture.

"As Jiya said."Rufus stated in a quiet awed voice. "That's a hell of a message in a bottle."

"Yeah."Wyatt agreed his gaze transfixed on the picture.

"We'll give you two some privacy."Jiya added as she tugged Rufus out of the room and closed the door.

Lucy sank down onto the edge of the table her fingers lightly tracing the glass.

"They're both okay."Lucy whispered.

"Yeah, it was good to hear her voice again."Wyatt agreed softly as he placed an arm around Lucy's shoulders. "Where do you want to keep it?"

"In the Lifeboat."Lucy said quietly meeting Wyatt's gaze. "Just in case; it'll be protected in there."

Wyatt nodded and leaned in to kiss her. After they broke apart they glanced down at their dirty 1890s clothes. Wyatt took Lucy's right hand pulling her to her feet.

"Come on; we'll put it in the Lifeboat and then change."Wyatt suggested.

"Then dinner?"Lucy asked. "I'm starved."

"Cornmeal wasn't enough substance?"Wyatt teased as they left.

"No, no it wasn't."Lucy agreed with a laugh.
