This is a random stand-alone fic, it COULD be placed inside my other fic but you do not have to read one over the other to understand them.

This will be a quick story that has been running through my head for a few weeks. It will mostly likely be about 4 chapters and I want to have it all up BEFORE the Sunday night! I have already finished chapter 2 and have the outline for 3 and 4.

I am pausing on my other fic because I am finding I can't think without seeing the finally. I am waiting with my breath held at this point.

This is pure Lucy and Flynn…..

Lucy looked around to see if anyone was awake. She had been stuck on the couch for over two weeks and she was over it. She was mentaly and physically exhausted from the pain of trying to sleep on a couch that was not even meant for sitting, letting alone sleeping in her opinion. It was 3am and she was just done, she sat up on the rock she had called a bed and her eyes started watering. She was mentally exhausted after the trip they got back from today. Two days in the old wild west had not improved her mood, although she was sure the ground she had slept in on the last 2 nights was better than this couch.

She stood up and tried to stretch the pain away, but all it did was make her groan as the stiffening in her limbs became more pronounced. Wyatt and Jessica had officially taken over Wyatt and Rufus room. So Rufus and Jiya had officially taken over her room, which left her with no where to be. Now didn't get her wrong. Rufus and Jiya told her to come sleep in her bed, had even thought to design a system so that she would know when they were busy in the room. The first time Lucy saw the sock on the door she laughed and walked away. The second time she decided that walking in after the sock was taken down was not happening. Trying to sleep in the cot across from them after they all knew what was going on... no thank you. So, she was left with the couch, she pretended that she was ok with it, and she didn't really care, she just wanted a bed.

Now weeks later, 4 mission and no night of real sleep and she was hitting her breaking point. She was about to walk to the door and walk out. Steal a car, drive to a Target and buy one of those beds that rolled up into a box. Bring it back and stick it in the corner.

She sighed, and the dream of walking out soon went from a basic thought and moved to the formation of a plan. She knew without a shadow of a doubt that she couldn't do it alone. There was only one person in the bunker that she was sure that would help her in this plan.

Flynn.

She walked softly down the hall to his room, gave a quick knock and then went to push the door open, but it was locked…... of course. So she waited, then her impatience ran out again and she knocked louder, not caring that it was going to be loud enough to wake the entire bunker. She waited all of 5 seconds before going to knock on the door again, her hand ready to knock when it finally swung open.

She looked up to see Flynn staring down at her with a scowl and narrowed half closed eyes, they widened once they registered it was Lucy. His scowl turned into a frown, "Lucy?" He asked her, opening the door wider, "What's wrong?"

She looked up at him, dark circles under her eyes, but her eyes had a glint of something that he found amusing. She grinned up at him, "We are going on a field trip." She said in a soft voice, "Let me in." She said pushing past him into his room.

He watched her go by with a grin, "What do I owe this pleasure." He asked. She was still the only one who could make him grin. Everyone else in the bunker got by with scowls and narrowed eyes. But Lucy, she got smiles and chuckles and grins. Now it seemed that was all he did when he was looking in her direction. In amusement, in adoration, in unconscious thought.

She looked over to his small cot, that he had obviously just gotten up from. She turned to look at him, "So I know that I barely fit in that cot and you are about 25 feet taller then me. SOOOOOO, my question is how do you fit?" She said crossing her arms.

He shrugged, "I don't, my feet hang off the end." He said.

She nodded and pointed over at the cot, "And width wise, how is that working out for you?" She asked him with a blank face.

He shook his head with a smile, "You already know that I am going to say that it is not comfortable. So, my question is, what is your point." He said crossing his arms.

Lucy grinned up at him, the kind of grin that you knew was reserved for trouble. "You are going to need to get dressed." He raised an eyebrow but said nothing. So, she pushed him over to the shelf of his clothes. "Come on socks, shoes, everything." He looked down at her feet that were pushed into some Ugg boots that she had started to wear all the time in the cold bunker and raised his eyebrow again.

"What, I am ready to go…well minus a sweater, but I am not going in my room for one now. The sock is on the door." She walked over to his pile of clothes and pulled out his favorite gray sweater, the one he wore almost every day. She pulled it on over her head and smiled over at him, "See ready."

It was the mark of their friendship that they had grown over the last few months that he didn't ask where they were going, but instead walked over and grabbed some socks and shoes.

She sat on his cot while he was tying his shoes, "Ok rules for the mission. Number one, absolutely no one can die, ok? You can knock them out, sneak passed them. But no real injures or death." When he grinned and nodded she looked up at him with narrowed eyes. "I mean it." She said, when he rolled his eyes and nodded again she grinned, "Ok next. We will have to steal a car but we have to remove the plates and return it in the same condition that we got it." His curiosity was peaking but he just nodded waiting for her to continue. "Or maybe a truck…. Yes, a truck would be better." She said talking to herself. "Or a large SUV."

He nodded and pulled on another sweater since she took his gray one. He stood up and held his hand out gesturing to the door. She hopped up and walked over, as she passed him he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Where are we going?" Knowing that she was veering off into a plan and would forget to tell him.

She stopped in surprise and grinned up at him, "We are going shopping at Target. If I have to keep living here, then I am going to get some essentials that Denice still hasn't gotten us."

Flynn raised his eyebrows knowing that while she may be making a longer list in her head, there was one main thing that started all of this out. He looked back over to cot and grinned, evidently, she was finished with their sleeping arrangements. He for one was curious to see what her plan was now that she was on a new mission.

"Are we telling anyone about our impromptu shopping trip?" He asked following her to the door of the bunker.

She shook her head reaching for the handle, "No, plausible deniability. Besides, Jiya and I had a dream trip we made up. So, I am pretty sure I know what to get her. Rufus is simple, I remember the stuff he wanted when he chipped in."

Flynn grabbed her hand and pulled her into a corner when they heard a noise coming from behind the door, "Well then." He whispered into her ear. "What about Wyatt and Jess?" He asked, pulling her body up close and tight against his. "Also, how are we paying for this trip?"

She grinned up at him as she leaned against his chest, they were starting to become more comfortable with each other. Hugging, laughing, joking and now even touching. The brush of a hand down the back, the slight leaning on each other for warmth and comfort, the hugs and even the kisses on the cheek Lucy was starting give him when she was excited or happy.

"We are going to go to my house and sneaking in. My mom keeps all of her extra credit cards in the drawer in her desk." She smiled her rare evil smile. "Since it is her fault we are stuck down here. She is going to pay for some of the comfort for this hellhole."

Flynn chuckled under his breath at her, "Well then we shouldn't go out this way. We will never make it to Target past all of the men up that way." He said pulling her back towards the back of the bunker, past the kitchen.

She looked up at him, sliding her had into his, a question in her eyes, "So how do we get out."

Flynn raised an eyebrow at her and paused in the doorway to the bathroom. "I am trusting you with my best secrete…. Can I trust you?" He said in serious voice.

She narrowed her eyes, "Are you kidding me?" She asked in a haughty voice crossing her arms. "You know darn well you can trust me…." But before she could go on Flynn grinned down at her making her pause, then he laughed at her facial expression.

"Come on." He whispered to her, he pulled her into the bathroom over to the utility closet in the corner, he opened the door and pushed her in. She turned and looked at him with confused eyes, "What?" She asked. But he reached past her and pushed on the top left corner of the closet. Lucy's eyes opened wide when the back of the room swung open to show a narrow dark hallway.

"What?" she said again turning to Flynn. "How?"

He slid his hand back into hers and pulled her into the hallway, then pushed the wall back in place. Then he pulled out his phone that he used to look up information and put on the flashlight. "Come on." He said pulling her along.

She pulled his hand to a stop, "Garcia. When did you find this?" She asked him.

He shrugged, "After Salem. I know that all bunkers like this have a backdoor incase of emergency's." He said.

Lucy took a moment when a thousand questions were going through her head, finally she went with the first one, "And you stayed?" She said softly.

He bent his knees, so he could look into her eyes, "Stopping Rittenhouse, remember. No matter what." He watched her nod carefully, so he took a deep breath, "Plus, I am not leaving you here, alone. I am not letting you go against Rittenhouse without my help." He paused putting a hand on each shoulder, "I can't leave you Lucy… I don't know why, but I just can't leave you." He looked into her eyes. Then he grinned, "Also don't forget we are supposed to be a team according to your journal. We can't be a team if I leave." He said grinning.

Lucy rolled her eyes at him, "Fine…. But why didn't you tell anyone…. or me?" She asked him as he grabbed her hand again and started walking.

Flynn looked down at her, "Well I didn't tell anyone else here because I don't trust them. I didn't tell you because you are the epidemy of honesty and I didn't want you to feel the pressure of not telling others." He said grinning at her.

She rolled her eyes as she followed him but then grinned back, "Thanks, you are not wrong. I am going to want to tell the others now. What if we are attacked, it could be a way to get out."

Flynn grinned down at her as they came to a door, "Why would I tell anyone else. They can hold off people while we get out."

"Flynn!" Lucy said bust she stopped when she saw that he was joking. "Not funny."

Flynn shushed her and slowly opened the door looking out to see who was in the room. When he saw no one, he pulled her into the closet and then closed what looked like a wall again. He opened the closet door and looked out to see one man sitting at a desk, his back to them. Flynn looked at Lucy who narrowed her eyes at him, she shook her head and he shook his back. They had an entire conversation in silence before he rolled his eyes and nodded. He walked up behind the man quietly and pulled him into a choke hold and held on to the struggling man until he passed out.

"Happy." He whispered when she walked out of the closet towards him.

"Very." She said with a smile. "Now what do we do."

Flynn raised an eyebrow, "I thought this was your plan?" he asked her.

She shrugged, "Yes the shopping part, not the actual getting away part. Why do you think I came for your help?" she said with a grin.

Flynn put his hand over his heart, "You wound me Lucy, I thought you actually wanted to spend time with me… not just use me for my skills." He said with a grin.

She shrugged back, "I guess spending time with you did seem like fun also. Plus, you do have useful skills."

Flynn rolled his eyes and walked over to the door leading into the hall. It was empty, so he slid his hand back it to hers and went to walk out. But she stopped and pulled her hand away walking back into the room to start searching through drawers and the man's pockets.

"What are you doing?" Flynn asked looking down the hall for anyone coming.

She grinned and held up the car keys she found in the top drawer of the desk, "Keys." She said.

Flynn just looked at her, "I could have hot wired it." He said grabbing her hand again and pulling her into the hall.

Lucy shrugged, "This will be easier." She said back, sticking out her tongue at his back.

"I saw that." He said without turning around…... "and you are not wrong." He said pausing at a corner before seeing no one and continuing to the exit.

Lucy looked around to, taking in the stark hallway, "What is this place?" She asked him.

He looked down at her before walking her over to the exit to carefully look to see if there was anyone, "It is most likely a building on the compound that allowed people to get in and out as needed.

Lucy slid up close to him to look out the front door, "See anyone?" she whispered.

Flynn shook his head, "Oh wait, hold on." She whispered, she reached out and pushed the car button on the keys to see what car blinked. A large black SUV blinked back.

Flynn looked down at her with an exasperated look, "Really?" he said softly.

"Yea, now we wait a second to see if anyone comes to see what's going on. If no one comes, we know what car we are going to." She said with a grin.

Flynn looked down at her with an impressed look, "Not bad actually… you should have been a spy."

She shrugged, "No its just the months of us stealing over every century and continent. Cloths, cars, money. I am just getting good at being a criminal."

Flynn laughed softly, "Yep a good spy." He said looking back out to see if anyone came out. When he didn't see anyone after a minute he grabbed her hand and led her outside like he owned the world. He walked over to the car and held open the passenger door for her to slide in, then he grabbed the keys from her and walked around driver's door. He slid in started the car and they were gone.

Lucy reached over to the navigation and put her old address into it. It read out that they were 58 minutes from it.

"So close, yet so far away." She whispered as she looked at the map. She sighed and clicked the remember button for the coordinates to the bunker. Flynn nodded at her before turning his phone off, so it couldn't be tracked.

"Is there a Target close to your house?" He asked.

She nodded, "About a mile away. Why?" She asked.

"Because we are going to go there first, exchange a car before we go to your house. In case the house is being watched, they won't see this car. Once we get what we need from your house, we will drive this car right back." Flynn said looking over at her.

Lucy nodded, "That is smart. So my mom keeps two extra credit cards in the drawer along with an extra bank card. I was thinking about pulling cash from the ATM then using the credit cards to go shopping at Target." She leaned her head back on the head rest, "Garcia." She whispered.

He looked over at her, "Yes?" He asked her softly.

She rotated her head to look at him, "Why did you come with me." She asked.

He looked over at her and smiled, "Breaking out…... causing trouble…... irritating everyone in the bunker?" He asked. When she shook her head at him with a frown, his grin softened, and he reached out to grab her hand, "Because you asked me." He said softly.

She smiled as her eyes slid closed, "Thank you." She whispered, she took a breath and pushed her eyes back open. She smiled at him softly, "I wouldn't want anyone else here with me."

"Go to sleep Lucy." Flynn said softly.

Lucy laughed with her eyes closed, "This seat is probably the most comfortable bed I have had in weeks." She tightened her grip on his hand as she curled on to her side.

Flynn started rubbing his thumb over knuckles as he glanced over at her. She was already fast asleep and snoring softly making him grin. She shifted in her sleep towards him and pulled his hand closer into her lap, cradling his hand in hers. He sighed, it was the first time he had been outside in almost a year while in his own time. After months in prison, only to leave prison and move to the bunker it was refreshing to see open sky. He felt a peace that he had not felt in years as he held onto Lucy's hand.

He drove for the next hour in silence, listening to Lucy breath, watching the sun start to rise over the horizon. Secretly wishing that he could just keep driving until everything was left behind them. Until all the pain and suffering was gone and they had peace again.
