Int.-Cole's Penthouse--Night
Back in his apartment, Cole casts the spell. The room around Cole spins as the spell works its magic.

Ext.-San Francisco City--Night-Continues
A golden band of reality changing ripples through the city leaving it darker than it was before.
-------------
Int.-Cole's Penthouse--Night
Cole is standing in the middle of the Penthouse which has no furniture in it and has shattered windows.
"I did it! I altered reality" Cole replied
Then the Alpha Avator fades in front of Cole.
"Cole. We can still change this reality back to what it was." the Alpha Avator replied.
"No! The only reality I want to be in is the one where I'm with Phoebe." Cole said not wanting to lose Phoebe like he had after she found out about him being the Source of All Evil! He can still remember the way he had corrupted her to her lowest, making her choose between him or her sisters, he didn't want to make the same mistake again. He knew the only way to have Phoebe was to kill Paige off, after all Paige was the first sister who was on to him before anyone else.
"But you are weaker here, you are just Beltahzor, you no longer have all the powers you had before." The Alpha Avator warned.
"I don't care how powerful I was, I didn't have Phoebe in the other reality." Cole said admitting why he had altered reality.
"Please think about this." The Alpha Avator said.
The Alpha Avator faded out hoping that Cole would get his head straight when he came back.

Int.-P3--Night-Continues
Paige orbs back into the room. It's dark, it's quiet and she's all alone.
"Oh ... major sneeze. Hey, who turned out the lights? And the heat? Ooh. Piper? Piper?" Paige replied, not knowing about what has just happened, how much things have changed.
Paige turns around to look for Piper. She's not there. She reaches for the door, grabs the door knob and twists. The door opens and falls to the floor of its hinges with a loud crash. There's rubbish littering the floor. Paige walks out of the back room, she can't believe her eyes. There's junk on the floors; cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and a cold, dead silence in the air. She stops as she sees the neon P3 sign broken on the floor, she still can't believe what she is seeing.
"Leo?! Leo!" Paige shouted hoping her whitelighter/brother-in-law could help her out.
The rubbish on the floor rustles and a figure emerges. It's a bum living inside the abandoned nightclub. Paige gasps in surprise.
"Oh, god! You scared me." Paige replied.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" The Bum said scared.
"I could ask you the same thing!" Paige replied angry.
The Bum, just as surprised at Paige's intrusion as she is, pulls out a knife.
"Hey, it's ok." Paige said, knowing that what she said sounded like she was still a social worker. She was still surprised that she had quit the job. She knew she loved it but she wanted to see what it felt like to be a full time witch, but she realized that she could never be a full time witch since she was also part-whitelighter.
"This is my crib!" The Bum replied.
"Your crib? This is my sisters' club." Paige replied furious now that this bum didn't know who owned this building. Although, it wasn't much of a building as of right now.
Paige holds out her hand and tries to disarm the Bum.
"Knife! Knife! What the hell is wrong with my powers?" She said not sure what had happened, just a few minutes ago she had been watching Michelle Branch perform and now she is here with no powers.
The Bum takes advantage of Paige's momentary distraction and rushes her with the knife. Paige easily sidesteps the Bum and in a smooth flip, throws him to the ground. The Bum is surprised at being bested. He scrambles to his feet and runs out of the club.
"Leo!" Paige shouted.
Leo orbs in. He looks around the club to look for the person who called him.
"Damn it! Where the hell have you been?" Paige replied angry at Leo for not coming sooner.
"Who are you?" Leo replied.
"Are you kidding? (looking at him, she realizes) You're not kidding. It's me, Paige, your sister-in-law." She said not knowing what was wrong with Leo.
"Look, I don't know who you are, lady, and I don't have time for games. All hell is breaking loose out there, so if you don't mind." Leo said not caring.
"Have you lost your mind? Do you notice anything different?" Paige asked.
Paige spreads out her arms indicating the club. Leo looks around.
"No. Not really. So, if you'll excuse me..." Leo replied.
Leo starts to orb out and is stopped by Paige.
"Wait! Uh ... I'm your charge, too. How else could you have heard my call?" Paige said knowing she had Leo there.
Leo nods his head knowing that she is right.
"Thank you. I just don't understand how all this could have happened." Paige said still confused.
"How what could have happened?" Leo asked.
"This! Piper's club! It's totaled! Doesn't that strike you as the least bit odd?" Paige asked still confused as to why Leo was acting so strange. Maybe it was a spell or something.
"You know Piper?" Leo asked.
"Of course. Leo, the club." Paige said sharply trying to turn Leo's attention to P3 or what is left of it.
"What about it?! It's been like this for over a year, ever since Piper walked away from it, right after Prue died." Leo exclaimed.
"That is not true! The club was kicking ass! Michelle Branch was just playing here when I sneezed, and then I or -- orbed out. (to herself) Maybe if I sneeze again."
Paige tries to sneeze.
"Ah-choo!"
Paige looks up at Leo.
"Did I orb?" Paige asked.
"How do you know about orbing? Piper?" Leo asked unsure of Paige's true motives.
"Just take me to her. She'll figure all this out. She always does." Paige exclaimed
Leo looks around, hesitantly. I mean he doesn't even know this women, let alone if she is a demon or warlock.
"Please! What have you got to lose?" Paige said.
Leo sighs. He holds out his hand, Paige grasps it and they orb out of the club.
------------
Int.-Cole's Penthouse--Night-Continues
Cole is looking around a the penthouse.
"Where is everything?" Cole asked to himself.
"Gone." A familiar voice said.
Cole then turns around and is shocked to see his future self standing only a few inches from him.
"Who are you? A shapeshifter?" Cole asked.
"No actually I'm you from I few years in the future. Oh, and I'll be taking it over from here." Future Cole said knowing his plan will work. He knew even if this plan doesn't work at least he gave it a try. Besides anything better then being stuck in limbo.
Future Cole walks into Present Cole possessing him.
"This should be interesting. Now I must fix past mistakes." Cole said to himself.
-------------
Ext.-Train Tracks--Night-Continues
Paige and Leo orb to behind a pile of dirt in an abandoned lot. Paige looks around, confused.
"What are we doing here?" Paige asked. She thought Leo would have at least took her to the Manor, afterall that's where her sisters usually were.
"Shh! Piper's hunting." Leo said sharply.
Leo kneels down out of sight. Paige does so too. Down below, the figure of a man is sprawled out on the ground. In front of him the Lazarus Demon. He looks at the unconscious man on the ground and leans down above him.
"Hey!" Piper said out of sight.
High up above him, Piper steps out into view. She freezes the demon and jumps down onto the ground. She's also not pregnant in this reality.
"Feeding time, huh?" Piper said knowing the demon couldn't here her but still sometimes the only people she does talk to are demons.
Piper unfreezes the Lazarus Demon's head. The rest of him remains frozen.
"Knew you'd take the bait." Piper exclaimed knowing she had the Lazarus demon and he couldn't do anything to hurt her.
"What'd you do to me? Unfreeze me, witch!" The Lazarus demon ordered.
"Sure. No problem. Just as soon as you tell me where I can find Shax." Piper said.
Up above, Paige is more than a little confused.
"Shax? What's she talking about? We vanquished him already." Paige said, still confused as to what world she was in.
"Nobody's vanquished Shax. Ever since he killed Prue, Piper's been obsessed with getting revenge on him." Leo tried to explain to Paige.
Down below, Piper blows off the Lazarus Demon's left arm up to his elbow. He screams in pain.
"I asked you a question." Piper shouted knowing that torture was the only way to get demons to talk.
"I don't know where Shax is!" The Lazarus Demon said, and the truth was he really didn't know where Shax was.
"Wrong answer." Piper said angry.
Piper blows off the Lazarus Demon's right arm up to his elbow. He cries out in pain.
"Ok. Now, we could keep doin' this all night long, 'cause god knows I got nothin' but time, but I'd rather be killing Shax, so why don't you tell me where I can find him?" Piper ordered.
"Go to hell." The Lazarus Demon shouted.
"I'm already there." Piper said, knowing that her life was nothing but hell eversince Prue died.
Piper blows the Lazarus Demon up into a pile of dust. She turns around and starts walking away still trying to search for Shax. She wouldn't stop until she gets revenge on Shax for Prue's sake. Paige then runs out of their hiding place and yells out to Piper.
"Wait!" Paige shouted.
Piper turns around surprised at this starnge woman. Her instincts kicking in and her hands automatically coming up to defend herself against what she thought was demon, little did she know it was her own half-sister. Leo then jumps out in front of Paige and puts up a hand to Piper.
"Piper, don't!" Leo shouted to Piper.
Paige finally got a good look at Piper and realizes that she is no longer pregnant!
"Oh, my god. You're not pregnant anymore." Paige said still confused as to why Piper is not pregnant, it was only 30 minutes ago that Piper
"Who are you? Leo, what are you doing here?" Piper asked confused.
"It's me, your sister. Paige?" Paige said trying to get Piper to remember something about her.
"Look, if this is some lame attempt from The Elders to try and lure me back, you can forget it. Tell 'em to shove it, because I have no loyalties to them anymore, and I don't have any to you." Piper snapped.
"Hey! That's no way to speak to your husband!" Paige replied to Piper's rude comments.
Piper sighs.
"We're divorced. Have been for a while." Leo explained to Paige.
"Ok. What bizarre world have I sneezed my way into? You two are married, and you're expecting-- a magical child, no less. And you, you're not La Femme Nikita. You're a Charmed One. You don't mind kicking ass when you have to, but otherwise, you'd rather be hanging out with your sisters, baking cookies or knitting booties." Paige said still weirded out.
Piper scoffs and shakes her head.
"Knitting booties? Clearly, you don't know me at all." Piper said to Paige wondering who this complete stranger is.
Piper turns around intending to leave. Paige glances at the pile of dust that used to be the Lazarus Demon.
"Oh, yeah? Well, how come I know you didn't really vanquish the Lazarus demon?" Paige said.
"What are you talking about?" Piper asked Paige.
"As a breed, they resurrect. The only way you can keep their remains down is to bury them in a cemetery." Paige replied.
Piper doesn't believe Paige. She turns her back on them and starts to walk away.
"Please stay." Piper said to herself.
Just then, the pile of dust resurrects back into the Lazarus Demon. It happens incredibly fast. Leo barely yells out a warning when the Lazarus Demon is re-formed and reaches for the pipe on the ground in front of him.
"Pi-Piper!" Leo shouted
The Lazarus Demon hurls the pipe at Piper just missing her. Piper swings around, ducks and blows the Lazarus Demon up into ashes.
"How did you know that was gonna happen?" Leo asked Paige.
"Because we fought him before in the real world." Paige replied.
Piper takes a couple of steps toward Paige.
"What do you mean, "we"?" Piper asked Paige.
"We! You, me, Phoebe! Your sisters! Oh, god. This is getting me nowhere. Just orb me to Phoebe." Paige commanded to Leo.
"I can't go to the manor anymore. It's forbidden." Leo replied.
"What?! Fine. I'll do it myself, but when I fix this, you owe me." Paige said.
Cole shimmers in next to Paige.
"What the..." Paige said shocked.
"Hey Paige. It's been a long time." Cole said cheerfully.
Cole then throws an fireball at Paige lighting her on fire until she turns into ashes. Cole just smiles and shimmers out.
"Okay what the hell was that?" Piper asked Leo.
"I don't know" Leo replied.

Int.-Manor-Attic--Night-Continues
Cole shimmers in the room.
"It feels good to be alive." Cole said to himself.
"Cole?" Phoebe asks out of sight.
Phoebe then walks into the room from the Hallway.
"What are you doing up here?" Phoebe asked sharply.
"Well I haven't been up here in so long I just thought I would look at the old Attic." Cole said lying.
"Since when do you care about the Manor besides the fact that it sits on a Nexus?" Phoebe asked rudely, she felt she could be rude to cool, I mean he dragged her into a loveless marriage, and the only reason she took him up on marriage was for Piper's sake.
"Well I've had a change of heart." Cole replied.
Cole walks over to Phoebe and Phoebe looks uncomfortable.
"I want us to start over." Cole said with a smile on his face.
"Start over? Are you insane? Since when did you start pulling this loving husband act?" Phoebe shouted not believing what Cole was saying.
"It's not an act. I want you back, I want us back." Cole said, and he meant this with all of his heart.
"Cole I know you to well. Your up to something." Phoebe said.
"Phoebe I love you, don't you love me?" Cole said losing hope that Phoebe still cared for him.
"Yes...I did love you...once." Phoebe said.
"Phoebe we can still make this work." Cole said trying to persuade her.
"The only reason I'm here by your side is because I don't want to see Piper wind up dead like Prue." Phoebe said sharply.
Phoebe walks out of the room confused at Cole's behaviour, little did she know Cole's heart just shattered from the words she said.

Int.-Piper's Apartment--Night-Continues
Piper walks in the apartment with Leo following and Leo closes the door.
"Leo what are you even still doing here?" Piper asked.
Piper turns around staring at Leo.
"Because Piper. Don't you find it a little weird that, that woman knew who you were and your club?" Leo asked ignoring Piper's comment.
"Yeah so. Anyone could have known about my club. Besides she was syco." Piper exclaimed.
"But she knew who I was." Leo replied.
"Look Leo, she was insane okay she might have been a demon for all we know." Piper said still not sure why Leo was still here.
"Then why did Cole kill her?" Leo asked as he was still trying to figure out the situation himself.
"Maybe she betrayed him or something." Piper answered, she knew she was probably wrong but she didn't care. She was tired from a long day of work and hunting.
"I don't think that was the reason." Leo said as if he read Piper's thoughts.
"Fine then go find some information if you care so much." Piper snapped.
"What if she was an innocent Piper?" Leo asked.
"We don't know that." Piper said, knowing she was probably wrong. She couldn't describe it, but she felt connected to the strange red-haired woman.
"We don't know if she's a demon either." Leo said.
"Leo I'm tired, I'm going to bed. Now leave." Piper said sharply.
Leo gives up and orbs out.
"Thank god." Piper said relieved.
Then Piper walks over to a picture of her and Prue from just before Prue died.
"I'll get revenge on him if it's the last thing I do." Piper said, knowing that she had to kill Shax it was all she could thing about, night and day, the monster who killed her sister. But she was just as angry and Shax as she was at Cole. She knew Cole corrupted Phoebe, drove her to her lowest point after Prue died. But Piper was too tired to keep going on and on about this, she needed sleep. So she went and sat on her bed and then eventually fell to sleep.
-----------------------------
Int.-Piper's Apartment--Morning
Piper walks out of her bedroom in a waitress suite when Leo orbs in.
"Leo what are you doing here?" Piper asked angrily.
"I went up to the Elders and they said that they found out that the woman from last night, Paige is a witch." Leo replied.
"Yeah, so?" Piper said not caring.
"Well if she's a witch and Cole killed her that means she must have interfered with something he was doing." Leo said knowing there was a reason behind why Cole killed her and he had to get Piper to realize that.
"Okay well then you and the Elders can find that out, I have no ties to you nor the Elders anymore. No if you'll excuse me I have a job to get to." Piper said sharply, not caring about the witch, I mean the Elders have been wrong before, they could have been wrong and didn't know she was an evil witch or something. Piper than storms past Leo and out of the apartment.
--------------------------
Int.-Manor-Cole & Phoebe's Bedroom--Day-Continues
Phoebe is lyng in bed watching tv when Cole walks in with a tray of breakfast and a smile on his face. Phoebe turns off the tv.
"Cole what are you doing?" Phoebe asked.
"I thought I would make you breakfast." Cole answered smiling.
"Breakfast?" Phoebe questioned.
"Yeah. Is it so wrong for a guy to want to make his wife breakfast?" Cole said still with a smile on his face.
"Okay are you on some kind of demonic drug or something? Cole have you forgotten why I married you? Or why you made me marry you?" Phoebe said now pissed of at Cole.
"Well does that really matter?" Cole said trying to dodge the question, afterall he didn't know why Phoebe married him.
"You forced me into this marriage, now I played along and played the cuite little good trophy wife." Phoebe said.
"So cheating on me counts as being a good wife?" Cole asked angrily.
"Hey you have Julie. I have Tom. So what's wrong?" Phoebe said confused by Cole, Cole was cheating first anyway.
"What's wrong is that I love you and you don't seem to care." Cole shouted.
Phoebe than stands up.
"Cole you're not capable of love." Phoebe replied.
Phoebe walked out of the bedroom furious at Cole for trying to get her to love him. After all this time of being in loveless marriage she didn't want anything to do with him.
----------------------------
Ext.-Heavens--Day-Continues
There are Elders walking around everywhere when Leo orbs in and the elder Sandra notices.
"Leo! It took you a while. Did you tell Piper about the news?" Sandra asked.
"Yes, but she didn't seem to care all that much." Leo answered.
"Leo, that is also what I wanted to talk to you about." Sandra said, knowing he had to have this talk with Leo.
"Piper?" Leo asked.
"Yes, I know it is hard for her ever since Prue died and with Phoebe evil." Sandra replied.
"Well Phoebe's not really evil she is just trying to protect Piper from Cole and the Source." Leo explained.
"Yes, but we need Piper back in the fold soon. Evil is more powerful than it has ever been before." Sandra warned.
"Well she is hunting demons." Leo said trying to stick up for his ex-wife, even though he wouldn't admit it he still loved her.
"No. We need her to protect the innocent not just hunt demons. She will most likely get herself killed if she keeps hunting them." Sandra replied.
"I'll talk to her." Leo said.
"Thank you." Sandra said as she went off to her busy day.
Leo then orbs out.
---------------------
Int.-Piper's Apartment--Day-Continues
Piper walks in still wearing her waitress uniform after a long day's work and she didn't want to talk to anyone she just wanted to go hunting and kill as many demons as she could when Leo orbs in.
"Leo not now I have to get ready to go hunting." Piper said rudely.
"Well I think it's time you start listing to me." Leo said feeling brave he just stood up to her for the first time in a long time.
"Listing to you? Are you kidding me? Leo I told you this for the last time I want nothing to do with you." Piper sharply said.
"The Elders want you back in the fold." Leo explained to Piper.
"Again I want nothing to do with you or them." Piper tried explaining one more time.
"Piper evil is getting stronger they want you to start protecting the innocent again." Leo said.
"Well I kinda am by killing off demons." Piper replied trying to defend herself.
"Piper they said that you will most likely die because of your hunting." Leo said sadly, he knew if Piper died he would die too, even if they are divorced he still wouldn't want anything to happen to her.
"Well the Elders have been wrong before Leo. No if you excuse me I have to get ready." Piper said.
Then Piper walks in her bedroom and closes the door and she leans against the door breathing hardly not knowing why she is just that she is scared of keeping up her act of the bad-ass witch but if she didn't she knew she would breakdown.
----------------------------
Int.-Manor-Kitchen--Day-Continues
Phoebe walks into the Kitchen when the Seer teleports in.
"Phoebe, I'm looking for Cole." The Seer said.
"He's upstairs." Phoebe answered upset.
"You seem upset." The Seer said.
"Well I wonder what gave you that impression, maybe it's the fact that demons keep coming here like it's there home." Phoebe shouted.
"Well it is definatly not your home." The Seer said sharply.
"Just leave." Phoebe commanded.
The Seer walks out of the room towards the Dining Room.
------------------------
Int.-Upstairs Hallway--Day-Continues
The Seer walks into the Hallway when Cole sees her and walks towards shocked the Seer is alive in this reality, he knew that she was from when he altered time before or now, he's still confused by that but he still couldn't believe it.
"Seer. What is it?" Cole asked.
"The Source needs to speak to you." The Seer answered.
"About what?" Cole asked again.
"About where you stand." The Seer replied.
"What do you mean?" Cole asked.
"He gave you time with your witch know he wants you to give him your thoughts on what you should do with Phoebe." The Seer said almost enjoying telling him the news.
"Fine" Cole said.
Cole then shimmers out and the Seer teleports out.
-----------------------------
Ext.-Alley--Night-Continues
Piper is walking through the Alley in black leather when she see's a female witch named Katie Tasule walking through the Alley.
"Who are you?" Piper asked.
"I'm Katie why?" Katie asked.
Piper wonders if she is a demon or warlock or some kind of evil. Afterall she's been tricked before into believing people are innocent and after Prue died she doesn't believe in much of anything.
"What are you doing here?" Piper asked rudely.
"Oh I'm helping out homeless people." Katie answered with a smile on her face.
Then the demon Winson shimmers in.
"Hello ladies." Winson said with an evil smirk.
He then throws an energy ball at Piper and Piper freezes it and mid-air along with Katie.
"Well if it isn't one of the Charmed Ones." Winson smirked.
"Former Charmed One." Piper corrected.
Piper then blows up the energy ball sending the impact of thee explosion at Winson sending him flying backward. He then shimmers out when Katie unfreezes.
"Did you say something?" Katie asked.
"No, sorry to bother you." Piper said.
Piper starts walking away.
"Wait you froze me didn't you?" Katie asked.
Piper turned around stunned that this stranger knows her secret.
"How do you know that?" Piper asked.
"Because I'm a witch too. I've heard of the Charmed Ones, and I know that your one of them. It's Piper right." Katie said trying to figure out which witch it was.
"Okay I'm a former Charmed One lady, and I just saved your ass so if you'll exuse me." Piper exclaimed.
"You're just going to leave me here? What if the demon comes back?" Katie asked shocked.
"Use your power." Piper blandly said.
"I don't have one, I'm new to the craft." Katie said embaressed.
Piper chuckles not believing she's dealing with a newbie witch.
"That's pathetic. Why would a demon be after you then?" Piper asked confused.
"I don't know but if one is after me and your a Charmed One shouldn't you be helping me." Katie asked knowing of the Charmed Ones kindness.
"I'm not a Charmed One anymore I don't have any responsabilties to you or anyone else." Piper sharply said.
"Okay is this just part of your bad ass act or are you really this selfish." Katie asked.
"Okay I may be alot of things but I am not selfish." Piper corrected.
"Really? Maybe you should look at yourself in the mirror sometime." Katie replied.
"Okay I'm leaving." Piper said not caring anymore about Katie.
Piper than turned around and walked away.
"Fine leave. I can take care of myself." Katie shouted.

Ext.-Underworld-Source's Layer--Eternal Darkness
The Source is cloaked in his red robe while Cole is standing in front of him.
"You called for me?" Cole asked half scared.
"Yes. I want you to prove your loyalites." The Source said.
"Haven't I already?" Cole asked.
"No. I want you to kill Piper." The Source replied.
"Piper is very powerful." Cole said.
"Then start out by trying to kill her. It can't be that hard, she barely is protected by her whitelighter." The Source replied.
"Fine." Cole said unsure if he could, I mean after all Piper was the most powerful witch of the sisters and was just as powerful as Prue.
Then Cole shimmers out.
--------------------------
Ext.-Railroad Tracks-Night
Piper jumps down to the dirt still trying to get the thought of leaving her innocent by herself when Cole shimmers in.
"Hello Piper." Cole said smirking.
Cole forms an energy ball.
"I have waited along time for this." Cole said not believing how easy this was going to be.
On the top of the Railroad tracks where Paige and Leo where before Katie sees this.
"No!" Katie shouted out.
Katie motions her hands sending a plasma ball out at Cole hitting him in the shoulder and he falls over. Piper looks over at where the source of the plasma ball came from, she is shocked to see Katie and Katie is shocked by her power.
"Damn it." Cole shouted.
Then Piper looks back at Cole and tries blowing him up but he shimmers out and Piper blows up the dirt.
"Damn it." Piper yelled wanting to kill Cole.
Katie walks down to Piper.
"Who is he?" Katie asked.
"Belthazor. How did you know I was here?" Piper asked.
"I followed you." Katie said quietly.
"Well stop." Piper ordered.
"Come on, you're not going to actually leave me by myself. I am your innocent." Katie said.
"Fine you can stay at my apartment. But only for tonight until I kill the demon that attacked you." Piper said, knowing she has given into helping the innocent.
"Okay." Katie said happily.
--------------------------------
Int.-Piper's Apartment--Night-Continues
Piper and Katie just walked in.
"So this is the apartment." Piper said to Katie.
"It looks great." Katie commented.
Katie felt a little uncomfortable after all she hardly even knew Piper, and the way she was dressed didn't help, but she was a Charmed One so she must be somewhat good.
"Okay you got the couch." Piper ordered.
"Okay thanks again Piper." Katie replied kindly.
"Whatever." Piper said still trying to put on her act.
Leo then orbs in.
"What now?" Piper asked sharply.
Piper found it hard to talk to Leo since they have been divorced.
"Piper I won't stop coming until you tell the Elders your back into the fold. Please Piper I don't want to lose you to evil." Leo pleaded.
Piper know realized how much Leo loved her, but she still wasn't sure if she still loved him. But she had to at least show she cared for him.
"Fine, but only if they help me get Shax and then the Source." Piper said to Leo.
"Okay." Leo said, with some hope back in him.
Leo then orbs out.
"This should be interesting." Piper mumbled to herself.
