Here's another story of mine. As you see, I had been very productive at one time in my life. Especially when it comes to my favorite characters in Charmed.
The story will cover S6, 7 and 8 with my own twists set in. What you may already see in the first chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed. If I did, more Wyatt and Chris already starting from Season 6 on! ;)
Summary: Wyatt goes after Chris to the past, but both will be confronted with their painful past. And there will be more to be afraid? Will they survive with the help of their family?
1. A future guest too much
The story starts near the end of „Chris Crossed"
As Chris came flying through the time portal it only closed for a few seconds before an other man came through. The Charmed Ones and Leo were shocked as the blond man grabbed Chris harshly and spoke through gritted teeth, "You think you can escape me!"
"Let me go!" Chris yelled back.
The two men didn't notice the others as Wyatt telekinetic threw his little brother to the wall. Paige reacted as the first one and asked, "Who are you? Why are you attacking Chris?", while Leo ran to Chris healing him.
Wyatt laughed and snorted evilly pulling Chris closer to him and stated, "You've become a very good liar, Christopher! Now it's time to reveal some secrets!"
Chris was getting nervous and sweated with fear caused by his big brother's stronger magic. He was afraid how his mother, father and aunts would react if they know his secret.
"Well", Wyatt began, "hi mom, dad, aunt Phoebe and Paige!"
"WHAT?", came a chorus from all four.
"You're Wyatt", stated Piper looking to him and back to Leo who shook his head refusing it.
"And it will be coming better", Wyatt continued, "right, Christopher?"
"Christopher?" Leo asked. "That was my father's name!"
"And it's the name of your second boy!"
"YOU ARE OUR SON!", Piper and Leo shrieked.
"Oh my god!", Phoebe whispered and asked aloud, "What did you do to him?"
"What do you mean?", Wyatt asked back innocently.
"You sent Bianca to catch Chris!", Paige yelled, "without his powers – you bastard!"
Piper and Leo remained quiet the whole time. They couldn't believe how utterly wrong they've been about Chris. The boy wanted to save his family and his older brother. Looking at their oldest son's clothes and behavior both realized he was evil. Leo on the other side was speechless – for the first time. The father'd wanted to kill his little boy after Valhalla and to many other issues.
Wyatt held Chris closer to him and said to the others, "Now excuse us! We have to go!"
"NO!", Piper yelled, "You leave him alone, Wyatt!"
"Where are you going to?", Leo asked furiously.
"To the underworld – my favorite place, right Chris?" Wyatt replied while Chris nodded afraid. He knew what Wyatt would do for his betrayal.
"NOOOO!" the parents cried out.
"Too bad – you're too late!" he simply answered and both boys orbed out.
Piper immediately broke down and cried heavily. Leo took her in his arms weeping silently. Phoebe and Paige stood in the attic clued to their spot – without any words.
After a few minutes Piper stood up and said with fury, "We have to save Chris before Wyatt will do something to him!"
"He can't be so cruel!", Leo whispered, "not like I did in the past!"
"He did it, Leo!", Phoebe said angrily, "remember Bianca today and his wound!"
Leo's composure broke remembering the day's events. He sensed for Chris, but with both boys in the Underworld he wasn't able to. Leo inquired quietly, "Scry or summon him – Chris is still a witch."
"We'll do what we can", Phoebe and Paige agreed. Piper nodded saying, "My baby boy is not lost!"
"I hope so", Leo whispered. His thoughts wandered to his youngest son.
UNDERWORLD
As soon as both Halliwells landed in one of the many caves in the Underworld Wyatt shoved Chris away and put him in a black crystal cage. He smiled at the weakly figure in front of him, but Wyatt was certain aware Chris was his weakness. His little brother.
Chris looked up – to Wyatt. He noticed he was in a crystal cage, so he couldn't use his powers. He asked instead, "What are you going to do with me?"
"You're a traitor, Chris!", his brother answered. "I'll torture you. I'll see how long you can endure that!"
Chris backed away afraid, but the crystal cage shot electricity through his body. He winced and still Wyatt laughed at him. "Dad will feel me. He's an Elder now!", he shouted furiously.
"An Elder?", Wyatt asked shocked. "How?"
Chris smiled but responded, "I saved Paige and for his service dad became an Elder!"
"Before you were conceived? Are you nuts?"
"All for you, Wy! You're my big brother – my hero – till my dying day!" Chris whispered ashamed.
Wyatt swallowed hard looking away. Deep inside he knew he still loved his brother, because he was his only family left. All others had died. Both boys haven't overcome this loss, especially their mom. Chris saw it all and Wyatt cried.
Chris became aware of Wyatt's crying and wanted to comfort him. He begged, "Let me go, Wyatt! Let me save you – maybe together!"
Wyatt looked at him and both boy's eyes locked. Blue met green and the discussion went further than they wanted. A silent understanding was the result. The Twice-Blessed Witch moved one crystal and Chris went to him – without fears. Chris grabbed him and orbed them home.
MANOR – ATTIC
Two clouding orbs arrived. The Charmed Ones and Leo reacted grabbing Chris out off Wyatt's reach.
"Christopher", Leo said crying, "We're sorry – for everything!"
"I know, dad. So am I – for Valhalla!", Chris replied without his eyes taking off of Wyatt.
"What did you do to him?" Piper asked.
"Nothing, mom! Really!", Wyatt replied looking at Chris. "I wanted to, but I couldn't."
"Is he telling the truth?", Piper questioned again – afraid Wyatt did something to her little boy.
"He is, mom!", Chris answered truthfully.
Piper and Leo only now realized that Chris used their parental terms and smiled.
"Wait a moment", Wyatt interrupted, "why was dad in Valhalla?" He searched for Chris' eyes and suddenly remembered their childhood. His mouth formed an 'O' understanding.
Leo's gaze wandered between his two sons and asked shyly: "What did I do in your future?"
Chris looked at Wyatt shaking his head but saying aloud, "Future consequences!" and Wyatt laughed. The family turned to him confused. Chris growled knowing his brother. Piper went to Chris hugging him. Her sisters followed almost suffocating him. Leo stepped back afraid almost sure he did something to Chris as he was a child.
"What was so funny?" Paige asked at once. All looked at her curiously.
"You don't want to know!", Chris replied angrily, but Wyatt only laughed harder. This laugh caused Chris' body to wince in pain. The younger of the two clutched his stomach and passed out slowly. Piper and Leo reacted immediately and caught their little boy before he hit the floor. The family left the room and went to Piper's bedroom. As soon as Wyatt saw this he abruptly stopped his laugh and stood still. His mind started working and landed in memories of their childhood and teen- years.
FLASHBACK
With Wyatt being in Magic School Piper had time to spent time with her youngest. Even though the mother was fully aware that the boys loved to trick each other, especially the older more than the younger one.
An evening Wyatt came back from school with learning how to cast spells he started with Christopher, because he's his younger brother and they loved playing together. The family always said Wyatt's laughter is the best one and Wyatt wanted his younger brother to feel this with his body. But his casting skills were not so good at such a young age and so he waited and wrote some as a full account of practise for using may be later.
As time went by and the boys became men Wyatt remembered this and caught Chris in an unexpected situation he casted his long hidden spell on him, so everytime Wyatt laughed Chris would feel pain. But Wyatt had stopped laughing after their family had died and Chris himself became the man he never wanted to be – like his father Leo Wyatt.
END OF FLASHBACK
With this memory Wyatt became aware what happened, but was faced to two angry aunts who had seen his stony expression on his face and asked themselves what was in his mind. Paige reacted as first, "What did you do, Wyatt?"
Wyatt looked shocked about her sudden interest and whispered, "I cast a spell on Chris when we were younger!"
"What spell?", asked Phoebe.
"His body would be in pain everytime I laughed, because you said my laugh was the best and I wanted as a child for Chris to feel!"
"When did you cast that spell?", questioned now an angry Paige.
"When I became the evil ruler of the world and my younger brother wouldn't work with me. So the spell included a lot of dark magic and everytime I laugh Chris will feel pain until his body ...", Wyatt swallowed hard, "cannot longer hold it!"
"WHAT?" came the chorus from both remaining sisters, but whatever Wyatt wanted to answer was cut off by a loud scream coming from downstairs. All orbed out to the source.
PIPER'S BEDROOM
Piper and Leo were with their youngest child and felt helpless. Nothing of Leo's powers and all medicine knowledge seemed to work. The mother could only cry about everything that happened today and she knew her husband felt the same way, even though he hated himself for all he did to his child before they all knew who he was.
Chris twisted in pain and wanted to scream everything out, but his throat didn't cooperate with him. He only noticed some orbs as his aunts and brother arrived. Phoebe immediately rushed to her older sister and told her and her brother-in-law all Wyatt had managed to admit he did to Chris when they were younger, while Paige took a strict hold of Wyatt to not let him escape.
The youngest of the Charmed ladies didn't have to wait so long, because after a few minutes Leo came over and wanted to yell at his eldest, but both were distracted by loud sobs coming from Piper. She sat next to her little boy and comforted him the best way she could. Leo looked at this heartbreaking scene in front of him and did the same on the other side of his youngest boy.
Wyatt stood in one corner and sobbed quietly. He regretted some things he did to Chris in his quest for power, but they are still brothers and they have to be together till the end of time. Now he was responsible again for Chris' suffering and finally he managed to let tears escape of his wonderful blue eyes. Phoebe came to him comforting and was near a break down herself with all emotions in that one room.
All at once Piper stood up and went to her eldest. "How can we save your brother?" she asked, but the boy looked away, afraid of what his mother would do to him if he didn't answer. So he looked up, straight in her eyes and replied truthfully, "The only way to save him is to save me!"
"What? How?" came the following questions. Wyatt only shrugged his shoulders, but had a plan: "We need great-grams! She knows all and she's Chris' best friend in the future!" The present people were shocked to hear Grams loved Chris in the future, because – well- she hated men. "They were getting best friends after a tragedy in our family!" That was the truth, he thought to himself.
"OK, we summon Grams!", Paige said and Piper continued her questioning: "When's your brother's birthday and how many years are you two apart?" "Piper" said Leo in a calm voice, but in reality he was also curious. Wyatt couldn't help but chuckling and suddenly Chris' body reacted, so Leo had to calm him down. The eldest stopped and replied, "He was born nine months after my first birthday, so you know what you have to do – in about two months I would say!"
Piper and Leo looked at each other and tried very hard to comprehend all the information they got from Wyatt. The annoying future boy was their son, Wyatt's brother and had to be conceived in two months and they'd be parents again. The last thought made them smile, even though the current situation was bad for their youngest!
Phoebe and Paige excused themselves and went to the attic preparing everything to summon their grandmother. The sisters wanted to know how she will react if she knows there will be more boys in the family, but they waited for Piper. The mother should tell all, because they still weren't able to understand all what Wyatt had said to them.
Leo remained still by his youngest and let his wife know she could go to her sisters. Piper nodded without taking her eyes off of Christopher. He looked so much like her and that made her smile. The boy could manage a weak "Grams" and Piper ran upstairs to her sisters as fast as she could. Not sooner she arrived the candles Phoebe and Paige had put down, burned and their grandmother appeared confused.
