They showed up in the underworld... in the nicer part of it, it seemed. The cave was decorated with flowers and there was a lake with crystal water and a waterfall in the middle of it, but then Benjamin waved his hand and dissolved the illusion, now it was a cave like any other in the underworld. Where once the lake was, there was a small crib, with a baby inside of it. Chris ran to it like a mad man and raised his daughter from the bed. He knew it was a trap. Well, it was too damn obvious, but he needed to know if his daughter was safe. It was really his kid, he could felt this. What Chris didn't notice, was that Ben took Wyatt's arm and made both of them invisible.

Then, the sound of clasps filled the cave. He could see Roxa and Yovi, entering the cave.

- Chris I knew was a better tactician... he would know that it was a trap. Alone with the little brat. I thought you would at least bring some support. - Roxa teased with a smile, then Chris realized, that Ben cloaked his and Wyatt presence. Good.

- Well, I'm not the Chris you know in the other timeline... and you are not the Roxa I known in another timeline. - Chris answered, hugging Angel closer.

- Yes, yes... How should I call you now? Pioneer? I believe that is how they call you to know. I think that "Wyatt's mercy" was more... dramatical title, wasn't it, Lord Christopher? - Roxa had good fun it seemed, bringing it all back, showing that he remembers another timeline.

- I enjoy being "Pioneer", thank you very much. - Chris answered coldly. - How do you manage to bring memories from the other timeline? Others didn't manage to do that yet. - the last world in Chris answer was quite important. 'Yet' he expected that sooner or later some of them will remember the dark timeline, but it was too soon.

- I helped. - Yovi smiled. - And I know your mission Pioneer. You will die here before you succeed. - She said with a twisted smile. Then, Roxa prepared himself to the attack when Chris still had his daughter in his arms, Roxa was hoping that taking care of the kid will slow him down, but he didn't expect Ben and Wyatt to show up. Especially Wyatt. Wyatt sent his wave, to destroy Yovi and Roxa, but to his surprise, they weren't destroyed at the spot. They kneeled in pain, but it didn't kill them.

- Emperor Wyatt, his justice and his mercy... I should expect this. - Roxa hissed with main. - Attack! -

Wyatt didn't have a lot of time to process the demon's words, because they were attacked by the bunch of demons and they seemed to be protected from good powers. Not completely, but they could take a lot of damage.

- Chris! Take Angel and get the hell out of here. - Ben hissed.

For the moment, Chris was unsure what to do, but his daughter was most important right now. He orbed away, leaving Benjamin and Wyatt alone to fight the demons. Roxa and his lady seemed to leave the party.

- Wy... hit me with a wave! - Benjamin shouted.

- What?! - Twice-blessed looked at him like at a mad man.

- Just do it... goddammed. - he hissed as he vanquished another demon.

- It will kill you!

- It won't. Just do it.

Wyatt obeyed with doubts. His wave could destroy anything in its way. He saw his closest ones hurt by his wave. But... there was something in his brain that was telling him that he should trust this guy. He didn't know why. He released his wave and witnessed the most strange thing in his life. Ben absorb his power, Wyatt felt some bond between them... a strong magical bond. Almost as strong as between him and Chris. But it was impossible, right?

He and Chris sometimes were channeling their own powers, but not in his wildest dreams Wyatt would hit Chris with his wave, he wouldn't survive that. Ben seemed to cope with it. He released it with adding of his own power, that wiped out every demon in the cave... then he collapsed. Wyatt rushed to him and started to heal him. Then Chris orbed in.

- What the hell happen? - he asked, looking at Ben with worry.

- He asked me to hit him with the wave... I... he insisted. - Wyatt answered, troubled.

Realization showed up on Chris's face.

- That stupid idiot. - he hissed. - Take him to the manor and heal him. I will be there as soon as I can. I need to take care of Bianca's and Angel's safety first. - he answered and orbed out again. Wyatt nodded and orbed away too to the manor. He put Ben on the sofa and started to heal him again. He had a flashback from healing his other brother on this sofa earlier.

What. Another brother? From where that came from?

It seemed that nobody was planning to leave the Manor today. The same people who were here since the beginning still were there, waiting for the developing of the events.

- How is he, what happened? - Paige asked, offering Wyatt her help with healing him.

- He... He asked me to hit him with my wave. And I did it! I don't know why. I knew that he could manage it. I don't know how. And he did absorb it and powered it up to absurd! - Wyatt babbled on, everything that was happening in the underworld was hitting him now.

That freaking bond was confusing him like hell. He should feel that only with Chris. Only Chris was his brother. What the hell was happening to him. Leo looked at the boys in shock.

- That shouldn't be possible. - he answered. He wasn't an Elder anymore, but he had a lot of knowledge still. To do that, Ben has to be as powerful as Wyatt. That was what was the impossible part.

- Tell me something that I don't know dad. - Wyatt snapped. - Sorry... today... - he apologized and sighed.

- I know son. - Leo said with a little smile. Today was too long for everybody. Over twenty years ago, he had lost his youngest son the day he was born. A year ago, he lost his son because he lost son over twenty years ago... a few hours ago, both of his sons returned in the same flesh.

- Where is Chris? - Piper asked.

- When we found Angel, he took her away and said he would return when he was sure that she and Bianca are safe. - Wyatt answered. He briefly saw Angel, but that little kid was his niece.

Phoebe came closer and touched the man on the sofa and pulled herself into a vision.

Wyatt and Chris in their boyish age were standing in front of the Manor. They looked kind of bored.

- Mom, it is really necessary? - Chris sighed.

- God, I know how grams felt that day. - Piper murmured to herself. - I just wanna have a picture of my handsome sons. - Piper rolled her eyes.

- Let's just do it and be done with it. Ben, get your ass down here! - Wyatt shouted.

- Wyatt! Language! - Piper scowled. But then she smiled, when the boy with a mop of black hair stepped from the Manor and run closer to the Wyatt and Chris. Piper seemed to be happy to see them together.

- Ok. Smile. - she said and took a photo of them.

The vision ended and Phoebe looked in shock at Ben and Wyatt. Wyatt and Paige stopped to healing Ben because there was nothing left to be healed, he was just overtired with his resent power use.

- What did you see? - Piper asked, looking at her sister.

- I... I saw your sons. - Phoebe answered troubled. - Do you remember, when grams wanted to do a photo of me, you and Prue in front of the manor? - she asked and Piper only nodded. This picture was still standing in the living room.

- Well... it was very similar. There were Wyatt and Chris in front of the Manor, you wanted to have a photo of your handsome sons. Obviously, Wyatt and Chris weren't so eager, but Wyatt said to do it and be done and he called Ben to get down to them... and you took the photo of three of them. - Phoebe answered and everybody looked at her in shock.

- This is... impossible. I don't have any other son than Wyatt and Chris. - Piper shook her head.

- Is it a picture you are talking about? - Paige asked. During the talk, she pulled off a picture from Ben's coat. It definitely looked like a photo that Phoebe was describing from her vision.

- Yeah... that's it. - She answered and took the photo. In the same moment, Ben woke up.

- This photo was taken in the other timeline. - he murmured with closed eyes. - I'm not Piper's son by blood, but she raised me in the other timeline. - he answered and he rose up from the sofa and took the picture from Phoebe's hands and hid it to his coat again.

- And I have some experience with channeling your wave from the other timeline, but dude... it is a lot of more powerful than in the other timeline. I didn't expect that. - Ben sighed and sat again, he was still tired.

That was too much for Wyatt. Firstly he was evil in the other timeline, secondly, he had the other brother in that timeline and they had a bond even in this timeline! He just sat down, not knowing what to say.

- It should kill you. - Phoebe pointed out this fact.

Ben only murmured something, but he didn't answer that clearly for everybody to hear.

- How... I mean... How did I become your mother in the other timeline... how do you remember even the other timeline? - Piper asked, unsure. For the moment her thoughts were taken away from Chris and focused on Ben.

- I'm not a witch... well... not exactly. My being is... complicated. I'm just trespassing in this plane. I don't belong here originally. This is how this picture survived to collapse of another timeline. It was never in that timeline. I took it away to the other plane once. - Ben tried to explain this without giving many details. - And this is how my memory of other timeline survived as well. - he shrugged.

- As for you being a mom to me... well. This is a kinda long story and I don't have time for this. Where is Chris? - Ben asked and looked at Wyatt.

- He... he went to make sure that Bianca and Angel are safe. He said that he will return as soon as he can. - Wyatt answered with a numb voice.

- I know this is a lot of shock for you Wyatt. - Ben said with compassion. Twice blessed only chuckled.

- I was evil in your timeline... and we were like brothers. - he said, trying to put this into his brain.

- Yes... Wyatt Halliwell was evil in my timeline, but he was not you. He was raised differently, he was a different man. You are different than him. Chris, me, Bianca... we can say that we partially are the same people because we lived by both timelines. But you are not him Wy. You had nothing in common with him. - Ben said with a calm voice that seemed to reach Wyatt in some strange way. He felt better somehow. Somehow he made Wyatt believe in those words.

- Who is Roxa? - Wyatt asked.

- He was one of Emperor Wyatt's generals in the other timeline. - Ben sighed. - Before Wyatt from the other timeline sends Bianca to take time-traveling-Chris back home, he tried to send his generals back to the past to clear the mess, but the demon couldn't survive in the portal. Then the other Wyatt realized that he needs a witch to be sent back, not a demon, that's why he sent Bianca. - Ben explained.

- Since I'm an exposition man, this is the whole 'Pioneer' thing. Bianca and Chris are Pioneers. Don't ask me why Angel of Destiny called them that way, but their job is a clean mess. Because Generals didn't survive the time travel, that doesn't mean that their essences just disappeared. - Ben added.

- They are starting to remember things from the other timeline. - Leo said and Ben nodded.

- So... we have to kill Roxa before he will manage to find others that weren't killed by Chris yet. Because another way, we will have quite a powerful bunch united. - Ben sighed and closed his eyes, then someone orbed to the Manor. It was Chris.

- Are you fucking mad?! Why did you ask Wyatt to hit you with a wave?! - Chris yelled at Ben.

- Don't be a drama queen. I'm fine. I had done this before. - Ben answered.

- Yeah, In the other timeline, where Wyatt was younger and his wave was less powerful. - he looked at Ben like a mother that was scowling her child. Ben only murmured something that sounded like 'yeah yeah'.

- Are you ok Wy? - Chris asked with worry.

- You are asking me... how are Angel and Bianca? - Wyatt asked.

- Good. I'm going back to them right now. I just showed up to show you that I'm ok. Ben, when you are done here with your little reunion, I expect you to show your ass in my place, we have a lot to discuss about Roxa. - Chris said, looked at Wyatt with a little smile and using his bond said to him, that he didn't forget that he allowed Wyatt to help him, but for now, they both had a lot to process. Wyatt nodded. Yeah. They both had a lot on their minds. Wy just said to call him when Chris will need him. Chris nodded with a smile and orbed out.

- You two are just adorable with your mind speaking. - Ben said with a smile.

Wyatt looked at him surprised.

- I can hear your mind speak. Brothers, remember? - Ben shrugged.

- I guess that can cover up how you know me... but what about that bond between us. That can't be only because we were raised together in another timeline. - Wyatt asked and looked at Ben.

- No. It can't. But that is a story for another time. - Ben answered and used his lightning to teleport himself out of the Manor.
