Chapter 3
The following morning at the Turner penthouse the Turners wake up to more news reports about how artic has been getting colder and the snow, wind and frost are expected to travel around the world at an alarming rate. The Turners fear that they might be some force disrupting the balance of nature. But have no way to tell. Meanwhile, Phoebe is trying to plan out in her head how she is going to explain her plan to restore Matthew's powers tonight!
Phoebe, Cole and Toby along with Bane are in the living room
"Everyday is just getting colder and colder," Toby says as he wraps his black dressing gown around him.
"It's been getting colder for the past two years it feels like it anyway" Bane replies who wearing a grey dressing gown.
"Has anyone seen my dressing gown it's freezing?" Matthew asked as he entered the living room from his bedroom wearing long dark blue pyjama bottoms with a light blue pyjama t-shirt shivering.
"What does your dressing gown look like sweetie"? Phoebe questions.
"Big and black hang on Toby has it" Matthew almost shouts as he makes a grab for the dressing gown only for Toby to grab his arm.
"Don't even think about it Matt," Toby says.
"You stole my dressing gown" Matthew snaps.
"It was mine, to begin with," Toby shot back.
"So you've never used until now" Matthew points out.
"I never had a chance until now" Toby snapped before letting go of Matthew's arm.
"Guys I have some great news" Phoebe announced to her family.
"Good or bad"? The Turner boys and Cole asked.
"Good news, really good news brilliant news actually" Phoebe replied.
"What news" Cole questions his wife.
"I found a spell to restore Matthew's powers," Phoebe tells her husband and the boys.
"WHAT" Matthew almost shouted.
"That's great the Turner brothers collective will be complete," Bane says.
"But how Zeus said that I had to destroy my magic to reverse the damage Prometheus caused" Matthew can't help but ask?
"Well apparently the former spirit of the all-powerful God was lying I found a spell in the Book of Shadows last night titled 'To reclaim Matthew's lost powers' and we need to cast it tonight since it's a full moon" Phoebe explained.
"This is amazing I can go back to saving innocents" Matthew yells with excitement.
"Oh, no little boy you are not going out trying to protect innocents not until you've had enough training and we learn what stages of development your powers are at," Cole told Matthew.
"But" Matthew protested, however, before he can finish his sentence Cole interrupts him.
"And if you break any of those rules then you can say goodbye to your cell phone privileges and you be grounded again that includes an early bedtime" Cole warns his youngest.
"Papa, I'm too old for bedtimes and mom tell him, I can head straight back into protecting the innocent I'm not a baby I know how my powers work," Matthew says looking at his mom doing his best hell hound eyes.
After that conversation, the Turners left for the Halliwell manor. The Turners walked straight into the hallway not bothering to knock since Phoebe has a key. Phoebe then sent the boys straight up to the attic were Prue and Paige are double checking the spell to restore Matthew's powers is written out correctly on the pieces of paper their taking with them to a beach.
"Time to tell cranky witch Piper" Cole commented earning a small slap from Phoebe to his right arm.
"Cole making jokes like that won't exactly help us tell Piper that our son her nephew who almost killed her son that we found a spell to restore his powers," Phoebe says.
"Fine honey I won't joke about Piper or Wyatt during the conversation" Cole replied before the two made their way into the kitchen.
"Phoebe, Cole what are you doing here Sunday is tomorrow"? Piper asked.
"Oh, nothing really Piper come sit down," Phoebe said as she walked over to the small dining table in the kitchen and sits down before Piper does.
"There no real easy way to tell you this" Phoebe says while in her head trying to figure out the best way to tell her older sister but before Phoebe can finish her sentence Piper speaks.
"I know about Matthew getting his powers back tonight and I'm not bothered or upset," Piper said shocking Phoebe and Cole.
"Wait, you're not how did you find out about Matthew getting his powers back tonight"? Phoebe asks.
"After you left last night I went up into the attic when nobody was around and I found the spell," Piper told Cole and Phoebe.
"And you're not mad that we're going to use the spell to restore Matthew's powers" Phoebe spoke.
"No of course, not Pheebs, Matthew is my nephew and sure he did actions that I wasn't particularly proud of like fighting with Wyatt and almost killing my son," Piper told Phoebe and Cole.
"Wasn't really a fight" Chris coughed out while standing at the stove he been silent up until now Chris's comment earned a chuckle from Piper, Phoebe and Cole.
"As I was saying that happened two years ago we've all changed and evolved Matthew is apart of our family he deserves his powers and I want to be apart of him getting his powers back," Piper told her sister and brother in law.
"What about Wyatt, he won't be happy about his least favourite cousin getting his powers back"? Cole asks.
"Well, Wyatt will just have to learn to accept it then won't he this feud the two have has to end even if it takes us a thousand Sunday dinners we will find a way for them to get along" Piper replied.
"I think we should head upstairs to see if they copied out the spell" Cole suggested.
"I think so to come along Chris," Piper said before the four left the kitchen for the attic.
The Turners along with Piper, Prue, Paige and Chris teleport over to an empty area of the local beach around eleven fifty-five. Matthew found himself standing inside a circle of wooden braches. While Matthew stands in the circle a wooden branch is passed down from the Halliwells present to Turners and each Halliwell and Turner present apart from Matthew cuts one of their fingers and lets a couple drops of blood fall onto the branch. Bane being the last one to cut his finger and let a few drops of his blood fall onto the branch levitates it over to Matthew who grabs it. Matthew then as soon as he grabbed hold of the branch covered in Halliwell and Turner blood drops it and with that branch, it forms a pentagram around Matthew. The Turners and Halliwells wait until it reaches midnight and the full moon is at it's highest before they chant the spell.
"With body spirit and soul this child again will become whole we call upon your spirit of the Warren and Turner line to help us in this day and hour as light from the sacred moonshine now upon your son let the light from the moon restore Matthew Turner's powers let him be one of us once again" The Turners chant minus Matthew and Phoebe.
"Powers of the witches rise course unseen across the sky we call upon the ancient power to help us now in this day and hour return to him what was once lost give to him back his powers" The Halliwell chants minus Matthew.
"Guys nothing happened" Matthew pointed out then seconds later the pentagram made out of wooden branches sets alight and a bright light from the full moon shines down onto Matthew who looks up at it and Matthew finds himself feeling immense power what he sacrificed two years ago waves of energy is sent through Matthew's body causing Matthew to collapse and just after Matthew collapsed the light from the moon fades away and the burning pentagram extinguishes!
"MATTHEW" The Turners scream as they run over to the baby of the Turner clan.
The Halliwells present at the beach who cast the spell stay behind and wait for Matthew to become conscious along with the Turners. It took a couple of minutes around ten minutes for Matthew to regain consciousness and he awakens to find his head resting on Toby's lap. Matthew at first is confused at his surroundings of the beach but soon his memories of what happened previously returns and he struggles to stand to his feet but with his brothers help he standing.
"Do you think the spell worked"? Phoebe asked everyone present.
"I'm not sure but something did happen after all we had a burning pentagram and that unnatural light from the moon," Prue said.
"Why don't we test it out" Bane suggested.
"Are you up for it sweetie"? Phoebe asks her son.
"I'm not sure I guess I could try" Matthew weakly replied before he made a gesture attempting to conjure a small fireball but it was in vain.
"I guess it didn't work" Matthew mumbled feeling disappointed.
"Oh unlucky baby bro" Toby teased not of meanness but apart of a plan.
"I'm not a baby" Matthew snapped annoyed at his older brother for kicking him while he already feeling disappointed.
"It's not so bad Tommo so what if you don't have your powers you always be Tommie to us" Toby teases making Matthew so annoyed and angry Matthew unintentionally channels these rare and negative emotions to start a small fire on the sand not too far away from everyone present!
"What the" Matthew commented looking directly at the small fire.
"Emotions fuel our powers all I had to do was make little Matt over here annoyed and then let his emotions fuel his magic" Toby spoke smiling proudly this would be one of the only few times Cole or Phoebe would let him get away with this teasing.
"I-I guess I should thank you for helping me get my powers back Aunt Piper, Prue and Paige you too Chris," Matthew says.
"No problem Matthew you're apart of this family" Piper replied making everyone smile.
"I guess we should go now Matthew is going to need some sleep since the spell took a lot out of him," Cole told the Halliwells and after they all said goodbye, Cole, flames himself along with his sons and Phoebe back to the penthouse.
