I don't own Charmed just borrowing the characters for a while.

As the sun dipped behind the horizon Chris reflected on another day in which he'd failed to find what turned his brother. He decided to head back to P3 to prepare for the following days hunt, orbing in behind the dumpster outside as the club was open stepping out he approached the door.

"Evening Gary" he said nodding to the bouncer.

"Evening Chris" the guy replied.

Chris slipped inside as he passed the sisters at the bar Phoebe flagged him down "Chris come have a drink and relax".

This annoyed him "I didn't come here to relax Phoebe I came here to save Wyatt" he said heading into the back office Piper let him sleep in. Chris pushed open the door failing to sense the assassin that laid in wait for him due to his irritated mood.

"Hello Chris".

He froze at the sickeningly familiar voice "what do you want Bianca" he replied in a cold tone.

"Master Wyatt sent me back to retrieve you" she thrust her hand in his chest stripping his powers. Before she could finish Piper burst in press ganged into apologizing for her earlier comments by Paige.

"What the hell" she exclaimed blowing Bianca up, once she was vanquished Chris sunk to the floor weakened.

"You alright" she asked helping him up.

"I'm fine" Chris muttered before orbing out heading to the bridge.

Normally the breeze on the support pillar helped soothe his frayed nerves but tonight the effects of the incomplete draining were taking its toll on his body meaning he felt anything but soothed. He once again found himself calling on his ability to orb this time landing in the little garden where he would one day confess propose.

Re-materializing he sat down heavily on the stone bench, knowing it he wouldn't be safe for long.

"You really shouldn't try to orb any more it's going to kill you".

'Can't I catch a break' Chris thought as Bianca stepped out from behind the statue "how'd you know I'd come here" he asked struggling through the heat that radiated from his chest wound.

"This is still yours and that traitor Aeryn's spot" she spat out the name of her cousin putting her leather clad leg on the stone bench and leaning on it "it signifies everything that the pair of you hoped for" she said repulsed.

Chris stared at her his eyes full of hatred.

"I was interrupted in stripping your powers and if you don't let me finish you're going to die. Think of it as a virus and I'm the only one with the antidote".

"Thank you for coming now go away, bye bye Bianca" he replied beginning to orb out. She lunged forward trying to stop him put she was too late he'd already de-materialized too far.

He re-materialized in the hall of the manor and promptly collapsed in a heap unconscious.

"Chris" Piper yelled running over to the neurotic future white-lighter.

Leo was quickly at her side scooping Chris up he carried him over to the sofa where he laid down. Chris lay panting; sweat beading around his forehead and his bangs in his eyes struggling against the darkness that'd claimed him and the fire that was raging through his body.

Leo held his hands over the future boy and summoned every ounce of love he had to make his hands glow, but even the healing power of an elder wasn't enough to reverse the effects. "It's not working, somethings draining his power and blocking mine".

"Phoenix witch" Chris whispered breathlessly breaking through his pain long enough to try and warn his future family about the threat that 'master' Wyatt had sent for him.

"Phoenix witch I think I remember seeing something about them in the book" Paige thought out loud.

"To the book" Piper called.

As the charmed one's headed upstairs, Leo sat watching Chris with some suspicion there was more to this. Unknown to him Bianca had shimmered in and was watching with a menacing smile.

Up in the attic the sisters checked the book of shadows for any information on Phoenix Witches, what had been written by their ancestors was limited giving a basic background.

"Wait there's a note here in a different hand" Phoebe said noticing the warning Chris had written in red pen 'Warning they have the power of Reconstitution'.

"Great so the one I blew up at P3 is still out there" Piper said as a large thump filtered up from downstairs.

"Not out there but downstairs" Paige corrected as the girls joined hands to orb down.

When they re-materialized they saw the thump had been Bianca throwing Leo against the window seat in the hall. She was knelt next to Chris and smoothed his sweaty hair in a spilt second of compassion which was over the instant she sensed the sisters.

"Too late again girls" she sneered almost sounding pleased as she grabbed his collar and shimmered out.

Piper ran over to check on Leo who was beginning to stir "you alright" she asked worried.

"Fine I've got him" Leo replied said jumping up.

"Let's go" Piper said as they all grabbed each others hands orbing to a small two bedroom apartment.

"Easy if you let me finish it'll all be over soon" Bianca instructed thrusting her hand into Chris' chest to strip the remainder of his powers.

He refused to give in knowing that Aeryn would never forgive him if he just gave up and went quietly though he knew it probably wasn't going to do him much good in the long run.

Finally Bianca pulled her hand out "there see that wasn't too difficult" she said as she got up and tossed her mother's favorite picture on the floor so she could draw the outline of a portal on it. She'd just finished drawing it and tossed the chalk on the floor when the sisters and Leo orbed in.

"Hey future girl" Phoebe said throwing an athame, Bianca bent sideways to let it sail past her. Turning she grabbed the handle and shimmered out reappearing behind Piper with the blade pressed against her throat.

"I could kill her twice as fast as it would take for you to even think about reacting" Bianca informed them.

"You kill her there won't be a future for either of us to return to, I'll go if it'll save her" Chris said wincing as he was still suffering from immense pain.

Bianca moved towards the portal waving her hand to open it clearly reciting a spell in her mind.

"Chris you don't have to do this, we'll think of something" Phoebe pleaded sensing that he loved them all immensely.

"I can't Phoebe she's stripped my powers, you're smart girls I'm sure you'll figure out what turns him" Chris said moving to stand with Bianca.

"Piper freeze them" Leo called as he had a thousand and one questions for Chris to answer, Piper waved her hands but neither of them froze.

"I get why she'd didn't freeze but Chris should've" she said confused at why her powers didn't seem to work on the future boy.

"I'm half witch half white-lighter like Wyatt and Paige" Chris said just before he stepped through the portal.
