Love Triumphant
Chapter One
Restless to Begin

This is a sequel to a story I just posted yesterday in the Action Adventure Charmed fan fictions. Cole and Phoebe are beginning a new life after a traitor in their midst had helped try and destroy them. Prue is back and she will find a new love with a familiar face. I don't own the characters from Charmed, Profiler, or HTLJ contained with in this story. Some strong language, some violence, and a few what I'd consider fairly mild love scenes. Contains alternative story to season 4.5 and Five.

Phoebe awakened and rolled over. The space beside her was empty. She quickly surveyed she and Cole's new blue and gold room on Olympus to see where he had gotten too. The balcony doors were open. She sat up, pulled on her robe, and orbed out to Cole. Phoebe loved this new power.

Cole was standing starring up at the night sky. Phoebe didn't speak his name immediately. Instead she took a few moments to study him. He was dressed only in a pair of silk pajama bottoms and his naked back looked so muscular. She thought she had to be the luckiest goddess in history.

Her only wish was they would get a breather soon so they could spend some quality time together. They'd been very busy their first full week on Olympus. There were extended family members to be introduced to; meetings to discuss their new duties, not to mention the training sessions for recently acquired powers.

At night they'd been so exhausted that they were asleep almost as soon as their head hit the pillow. It hadn't left anytime for romance. They were linked in a multitude of ways and their relationship wasn't solely based on their passion, but Phoebe couldn't deny how much their intimate connection meant to her either. She needed him so badly that she felt like she was suffering from withdrawal.

Drawing closer Phoebe wrapped her arms around Cole from behind and planted a tender kiss on his shoulder. "I'd ask you why you are out here pondering the vastness of the universe but I think I already know the reason. You're worried about you're upcoming meeting with Morrigan and Erin in a few day's aren't you?" she whispered in his ear.

Cole took one of her hands that were resting against his chest and kissed it. "Yes! They promised they are going to fill me in on this whole mystery past that they keep hinting about. It makes me more than a little nervous that there are things other people know about me that I don't even know myself. I have no idea what it could be. Is this what getting called to the principal's office felt like?"

"I wouldn't know, I was always a model student, I never got called to the principal's office," Phoebe said crossing her fingers in her mind. Cole burst into laughter and turned so he could pull her into his arms. "Are goddesses supposed to lie?" he asked.

"Alright, so I was there so many times, they named the wing his office was in after me are you satisfied?" "No but if you'll allow me to escort you back to that big comfy bed in our room, I'll make sure we both are and that's not just an empty promise. I'm better at delivery than Hermes," he teased. "Mmm." Phoebe replied, "I just love a masterful man. It will be interesting, don't you think? I mean seeing if we can live up to our new god and goddess of love titles, if you know what I mean?" Cole kissed her deeply. " I do know what you mean and I'll do my best," he assured her. "So will I," she vowed. He lifted her up in his arms and carried her back into their room. "Sweetheart did you forget that you can orb now too?" she asked on a giggle. "No I just think some things are better done the old fashioned romantic way."

He gently laid her on the bed and followed her down. The only magic in their minds now was the kind they were about to make together. They had just started to kiss when there was a flash of white light beside them.

"Sorry kids, I'm more sorry than you will ever know, but all the stars, oracles, and fates that I've consulted say that now is the most absolutely perfect moment in time, and we have to take advantage of it. So on your feet, give me your hands, and we are out of here," Aphrodite said almost on one breath and without even so much as a hello.

Cole and Phoebe both groaned but did as ordered. Aphrodite looked angelic enough but they both had the sense to know she was not someone you wanted mad at you. Cole, however, couldn't help but whisper, "if this is to see another perfect wave, I'm going to ask Hesphestaus to help me hide her favorite racing shell."

"I heard that," Aphrodite replied. "Hephy knows better than to mess like that with his little honey bunny. He may love his workshop but I don't think sleeping in there for the next several decades is on his list of things to do."

Phoebe gave Cole a little slap across the stomach. "Oh great we're in trouble," she whispered. "We're both going to be punished now and I didn't even say a word." "Don't worry," Aphrodite interrupted. "I'm not going to do anything to your man. I understand the strain of frustration and all, but as I said before, this interruption can't be helped. "We have to go now!" In a flash they were on their way, Phoebe just wished she knew to where.
