Prologue
Serena Tsukino lays over her brother barely able to breathe, she'd protected Sammy from the worst of their parents' beating. She knew she had to do something and soon, otherwise neither she nor Sammy would live past their teens. She gathers up her remaining strength, releases the restrictions placed upon Saturn and sets it so only her voice could command Saturn, filled in her dark scout, and made a wish on the Silver Crystal to send her and her brother to a time where they would be safe. Someplace where they couldn't be found by their parents or the Sailor Scouts. She also gave them new identities, it was a given and she set it up so they had an ever absent guardian that sent them money so they could survive and got them set up in school.
2026
Christopher Perry Halliwell groans in resignation, he made sure that he had his tokens of friendship from the Valkyries, and that he had everything else set up to travel back in time. It was the only option he had left to save his big brother, to save Wyatt from being the Source of All Evil, even though Wyatt only believed there was only power. Chris rolls his eyes at this. All of his family except Leo were dead, well, his Aunt Paige came back as a Whitelighter once she died. Chris was the only one who could do this and he would have to go back to when the Titans were attacking, it was his only option, though he would need to go back a week ahead of time to get the lay of the land and figure out the fashions from back then. He was going back to late 2002, well, more like mid-2002.
He knew the chances were high that his future family would distrust him, but he had to save Wyatt. Saving Wyatt would save everyone else. At least he hoped that would be the case.
2002
Serena Hunt, the name she had chosen for herself, sighs as she walks home from her last college class before she graduated. She and Sammy were now happy and healthy, Sammy had new friends and was now playing soccer in high school. She had graduated valedictorian of her class, finally happy to be able to show her intelligence for once. She had finished a graphic design and art degree, major and minor, plus she had gotten a job working at an arcade. All in all life was good for her. Then she just had to see the flash of light in an alley ahead of her, looking to make sure no one was around she leaps to the roof of the building she was by and sees a guy her age come out of what looked like a time portal, things had to be bad if Pluto was allowing time travel.
The guy had short dark hair and was wearing dark clothes. Serena nearly curses out loud when she senses the demon behind her, she quickly shoves her school stuff into subspace and dodges the first energy ball sent her way. The demon kicks her off the roof and she turns in midair to land on her feet, " Who the hell are you? "
" Later, I have a demon to fry, I really don't appreciate getting kicked off the roof of a building. " She whips around into a spin kick just as the demon shimmers in behind her. He goes sailing and she grabs a nearby hubcap, lines it up, and lets it fly. It arced straight and true, decapitating the demon whom had dared to think she was easy pickings, " I'm Serena Hunt, now, why the hell is Pluto allowing time travel? "
" I'm Chris Halliwell, Piper and Leo's second child, something happens before I'm born to corrupt Wyatt. Pluto died and she made me the new guardian, I'm still trying to figure out how to lock down the time gates. "
" Give the Staff and I'll do it, Chris. Did Pluto ever mention her princess? "
" They all did, they know why she and her little brother disappeared. Their parents were abusing them. There was a split amongst them. Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and Pluto remained true and fought on, all of them are dead save Saturn. Wyatt got the others on his side, killed Tuxedo Mask, and the others were taken down by the still loyal scouts. Why? " Chris asks.
" I am that princess. " Serena says and locks down time travel, " I'll train you on how to use your new powers, and you can crash at my place. Wouldn't mind some company actually. "
" I couldn't impose. "
" You are technically the new Sailor Pluto and I am your princess. Sammy and I can be two people you can tell the truth to. You'll need someone you can be fully honest with and so do we. We came forward in time five years ago. "
" I guess fellow time travelers have to stick together, huh? " Chris says.
Six Days Later:
Sammy was at a friend's house for the weekend and Serena curses the storm that had decided to roll in, she still hated thunderstorms fiercely. Chris was out observing the Charmed Ones, his future family at the Gates, he was so enjoying that power. Serena flinches at the crack of thunder. Oh, how she wished she hadn't agreed to allow Sammy to spend the weekend away. " You face down demons without fear and thunder terrifies you?"
" Shut up, this fear has been with me since I was the princess. I'd learned about storms like this on the Moon but had never experienced one, so the first time I did I had no clue what was going on, I got made fun of for weeks because of that. It wasn't my fault. The fear just stuck with me. " Serena snaps at Chris.
" Come here, Serena. " Chris says, pulling her to him. For the last six days he had gotten to know her and he liked what he saw. She was a kind and caring individual, but she also knew when she had to pick up a sword and fight. She'd been just as damaged as him due to abusive parents and her own scouts not having faith in her. He had always wondered why he had felt like he had to come to the past, it had been a compulsion almost. Then he remembered Venus' dying words to him, ' Chris, you'll know when you find the other half of your soul, I grant you that as my final gift to you, let the past be your guide to your happiness. '
