Chapter 1: The power of quick exits
The peaceful manor shook as the door quickly slammed. The three beautiful women entered the kitchen about ready to kill each other.
"I don't see why you couldn't have just used your new power Piper especially with our butts on the line," the fair brunette said cornering the shorter one of the group. The third and apparently eldest by her 'this means business demeanor' stepped in to defend Piper.
"Phoebe, you can't point fingers at Piper. Now to make up for her mishap, Piper will make a vanquishing potion while I get back to work," the eldest said as she picked up her rich black blazer off the chair and checked her hair in the little mirror hanging on the wall by the door.
Before the eldest could leave Piper stuttered out, "You know what? I can't control this new power. I'm always afraid that I'm going to blow someone up and what if I blew up one of you then we wouldn't have the power of three and then you'd be dead and pissed b/c I used it. So Prue before you go back to the magazine please understand I will make your damn potion, but it's only because no one else can seem to make decent potion around here. I didn't screw up." She took a deep breath. Phoebe smiled sympathetically.
"Sorry." Prue and Phoebe said together. Piper pushed her bangs to the side of her face letting it go for there was more important work to be done.
"It's alright, but you two get to help me," Piper smiled to her sisters. To this Phoebe and Prue just sighed sadly being roped into helping with potions. They quickly settled down to start their large task of figuring out who attacked them.
"Okay so who was that guy?" Phoebe asked pulling out their potion making pot and handing to Piper who already had her hands full with herbs and ingredients they usually need for the vanquishing. Piper just sighed at how she was just expected to be the professional potion maker. "A fight for another day. First get the warlock and then maybe I'll address the fact that my sisters take advantage of my cooking skill." Piper thought quickly shifting gears to be able to assist her sisters.
"I will go up and get the book of Shadows. We'll go through it to see if we recognize the warlock." Prue said putting down her blazer and heading up to their magical attic. "Guess I won't be going into work afterall. I just hope we can finish this quickly, because my boss is going to have my head if I don't at least show up today." Prue thought as she rushed up the stairs.
Meanwhile in the kitchen Phoebe and Piper were preparing a potion. "So what do you think he was after?" Phoebe asked as she organized the bags of herbs in front of her.
Piper sighed and leaned on the counter for support after such a near miss of an attack. They were lucky. Piper was internally beating herself with a stick that she didn't have enough control over her powers to use them when her sisters needed her to. "I don't know. Look I'm sorry I don't have more control over my new upgraded power." Phoebe lightly punched her sister's shoulder to try and cheer her up as Prue returned with the Book of Shadows ready to find this warlock out.
"So we know he wants our powers right?" Phoebe asked.
"We don't know that for sure." Prue stated while the youngest rolled her eyes.
"Come on Prue! What else do these bad guys want? Power, we have it and for the past 2 and half years we have had to battle these guys to keep it." Phoebe argued.
"True, but he seemed to more bent on killing us then anything. I tell you if that delivery truck hadn't of arrived when it did, I don't think we'd be standing here right now." Piper added reflectively.
Prue nodded in agreement while flipping through the pages of the book glancing at the pictures of warlocks, "That makes him more dangerous. He's not waiting to gain our powers he just wants to destroy us."
"Anyone want anymore coffee?" Piper asked. Both sisters shook their heads. "Found him yet?" Piper asked as she turned off the coffee pot.
"Not yet." Prue answered, "Looking for a warlock with those curly dark locks and raging red eyes."
"That's him!" Phoebe shouted pointing at the picture at the bottom of the page. Piper and Prue leaned in to see what she had spoted.
"Curly dark locks," Piper confirmed.
"And raging red eyes. This is our guy… Mittwoch. Warlock with the ability to explode objects with his eyes and carries the Port du Mach." Prue recited from the book.
"Port du Mach?" Piper, "What the hell is that?" Prue shrugged her shoulders for the book didn't go into anymore detail about the Port du Mach.
"So do we have a vanquishing spell for the Port du Mittwoch?" Phoebe asked. Prue carefully read the ingredients over three times before answering yes.
The girls quickly began their work on the potion. They were about done with it when before their eyes the warlock of earlier that morning, Mittwoch, stood in their kitchen no more than four feet from them. The sisters took a step back together holding hands ready to recite the power of three spell if nothing else worked. Piper's palms began to sweat understanding that she had to gain to control to save her sister. Mittwoch's eyes began to glow and Piper knew she had to react.
She let go of her sisters' hands and quickly raised her hands focusing all of her energy on this major bad guy in front of her. She felt the magic go through her as his face exploded in flame. He took a step back unprepared for that. Piper called her sisters to say the power of three spell as the warlock chuckled through his coughing.
"You think you can destroy me that easily. I'll go where you can't find me." He pulled out a dagger with a blue blade and instead of aiming it at the girls; he aimed it at the air and cut into it. Prue was ready to move the dagger from out of his hand, but before she had a chance to wave her hand or squint her eyes he had cut into the air.
The air split into an opening like a portal and before the sisters knew it Mittwoch had jumped into the portal smiling. Prue headed towards it ready to jump in after him.
"Wait! We don't have any idea what that thingy was and where it leads to." Phoebe stopped Prue.
"We have to go in after him. He can't get away with this. He'll just keep coming after us." Prue said looking at Piper and then Phoebe with her mind made up. Piper was feeling guiltier than ever, but understood that they had to go in after him.
"Let me call Leo to try and get us back." Piper said as she called out for her husband.
"We don't have time to wait." Prue shouted as the portal was closing. They took each others hands and jumped in just as the portal was closing.
Not even a moment later Leo orbs in expecting to his wife and her sisters bickering as always, but is shocked to see the kitchen in such disarray and the Charmed ones nowhere to be found. "This can't be good," he sighed, "I'll get you back Piper. I promise," he said as he orbed up to the Elders to see what they know about the girls disappearing. "I just hope they are okay. Wonder where they went to?" Leo thought as he approached the Elders.

AN: Okay so what does everyone think??? The title of the story mean Work Together (in German). Taking a German class so sue me for trying a bit the language out. I don't generally like the crossover, but when I saw an opportunity to cross my two favorite shows and do a decent job (ie I hope) at it, well I couldn't turn it down. More later. I just wanted to get the story started. I have so many ideas right now, it's hard to keep my muse happy. So enjoy and PLEASE PLEASE review. I love hearing what you all think of my story ideas. If you enjoy my Buffy style check out my other story, "Curse for Two". Sorry I don't have any other Charmed stories out yet. This is my first time writing the Charmed sisters. So please review. Thanks and I hope to write more later. It's just so late right now. Gah I need to go to sleep!
