“No, I’m not with anyone,” he shakes his head. Taking orders from others was what got him stranded in another century to begin with. He was done listening to others, it was just him now, him and this young girl who was seemingly just as much out of place in 18th century America as he was. Strange that they would meet this way, the odds of it being a coincidence were microscopic. Suspicion brews in Jonas’ mind, pieces of a conversation that he had in the future echo in his mind. Was he meant to find this girl?

Blue eyes search for a clue in the brunette’s expression, but she is just as suspicious of him. If there is anything in the making here, Jonas does not believe she is in on it. He takes her hand and gives it a soft squeeze, “You can trust me.” The certainty in his voice does not mirror his confidence. What help could he offer her? Were they not both drifting without a map on the ocean of time, risking to cause a paradoxical loop that would sink their reality into a black hole? Swallowing down his doubts he offers a small smile, “I’m Jonas.”

That he was only half-awake at the time.

You know when you have one of those unsettling dreams that leave you rattled all day? You're already awake, you can logically analise it and poke holes in the dream's logic (or lack thereof), you can reassure yourself with proof, tangible things and you're still jittery. Even if you're not thinking about it, because your subconscious mind is still unsettled, it doesn't matter that your conscious mind already put it to rest, the unease is still lurking.

Garcia Flynn was deeply asleep, even with his military and professional background, he was feeling secure in bed with his wife, deep enough asleep he didn't register the cough / sound that led Lorena into their daughter's room. He was likely sinking back into sleep after Lorena's words when he's suddenly jolted by the sound of his wife and daughter's murders.

And then there he is. Wearing only his pajamas and his wedding ring, probably barefoot, maybe a gun in hand, fighting the intruders enough to barely make it out alive. Panic, grief, adrenaline, helplesness, instinct... the things fueling him against the remnants of sleep in his fight for survival despite the futility in terms of getting to his family.

Even having managed to fight his way out he still wouldn't have been able to go and stay with his wife and child for a while, whether they had already passed or not. He didn't get to cradle their bodies one last time, to hold their hands... He didn't get to tell Iris that despite the fact that he wasn't able to protect her as he had promised her, he was there and she didn't need to be afraid because everything would be over soon and he'd be there with her through it. That he was sorry and that he loved them.

He had to flee because they wanted him dead too and he had to have been injured fighting off the team sent by Rittenhouse. A team that would have been well awake and wearing protective gear. All of this when a few minutes before he was in bed blissfully asleep.

I had fun practicing my art skills again! The Flynn family: Garcia, Lorena & Iris were not treated well in Timeless canon, to say the least, but their memory and existence matter so much in the story we saw. This is a portrait of happier times.

This drawing is made with Jaycee (aka RedGold or @timelesshonesttrailer) in mind who loves the Flynns and wrote my favourite headcanons about Lorena Flynn. Her series Team Flynn is wonderful & poignant & I love it.

There are not nearly enough fanfic stories where Lorena & Iris live, but she's been working hard to fill that void. Thanks to all the fanfic writers who imagine better futures for them ❤️. I love reading it.
