Destiny 10

So I guess I'm going to die

"So I guess I'm going to die then," states the wounded witchlighter(?) mournfully.

"What? No you're not," responds Leo confused. "Who said anything about you dying?"

"Uh, you did," informs Paige. "And I quote, no known cure."

Ohh. No known cure to it's effects," explains the Elder(?), realizing his goof.

"Which are? Care to elaborate oh Wise One?" Chris says, pretending as much as he could to bow.

Leo frowns at him but complies. "The poison is Pure Evil."

"Ohh," gasps Phoebe.

"What? Can't believe I'm saying this but what did Phoebe get that I didn't?" Paige asks and Chris manages a grin at her sarcasm.

"The Seer's tonic," realizes Piper, "that was Pure Evil too."

Chris, despite his injury, sits bolt upright. "I'm going to turn evil too?"

"Yes. Wait too?"

"Ohh craap. I said that outloud too. The evil I came back to stop is uh..."

The others make 'go on' gestures. "Uh...Wyatt," mangages Chris meekly, trying to sink into the couch.

"What?!"

"No way in Hell my lil angel turns evil!"

"You're lying, always have and always will!"

"Excuse Me?"

The Halliwell's explode in outbursts of outrage and denial. Piper unleashes one of her patented 'Shut the Hell Up!' whistles and the room falls silent.

"Explain Now!"

Chris then gives the same explanation as he did in his previous life. (End of chpt 2)

"My parents knew you guys. Around age 5, I met Wyatt at his sixth birthday party, my family moved next door and we became fast friends. It was my 10th birthday when the truce between Good and Evil was broken and I lost my mother. A month later I lost my father to a darklighter arrow and that's when we met Katrina. Piper more or less adopted me and Katrina. The three of us discovered the Titans were back but too late and that's when The Dark Ages began," Chris then explains about the timeline. "The first time the Titans attacked in my timeline Paige was killed and you met my parents. The second time won't happen now because even with my parents help originally you could only trap the Titans, not vanquish them like this time around," Chris falls silent as he's finished with his tale and they were none the wiser on his true identity.

Chris sits up with a groan, one hand pressed close to his side, carefully he lifts up his shirt to see the area around the wound black and bloody. And as they watch, inky black tendrils slowly spread out from the wound site. As more sprout and grow in length Chris grits his teeth as the level of pain spikes.

Chris sighs as the wave of pain passes and he leans back again. "We need to find a cure Now."

Leo sighs impatiently, as if dealing with a stubborn child. "I told you already, but I'll say it again. There. Is. No. Cure."

Chris holds up a finger. "Correction. You said there is no Known cure," he says, putting emphasis on Known. "I said Find a cure, this particular Darklighter(?) was actually on my threat list, I thought I had the name wrong until you said I'd turn evil."

"You know the cure?" Piper asks, picking up on the witchlighter's(?) train of thought.

"Ding ding ding. We have a winner," says Chris, although rather glumly.

"What?" Phoebe asks- the poison making the block he had on her empathy weak- highly attuned to the young man's feelings.

"It's extremely rare in my time, who knows how rare it is in this time and if it's still in the same spot," informs Chris in a dull voice.

"How will we find the cure in this time if it's not in the same spot it is in the future?" Paige asks.

Chris sighs heavily. "I'm not going to like it, future consequences wise. This definitely wasn't supposed to happen like this," he replies, cryptic as ever.

"Well just spit it out and hope we don't have to do whatever it is you say we won't like," urges Piper.

"If I do you'll do it even if we don't have to so... Future Con- OW! What The Bleeding Hell Did You Do That

For Piper!" Chris shouts painfully. Piper had blown him up, expecting him to reform like Leo does, forgetting his half whitelighter heritage.

Leo moves to heal the other man, wincing as he knew how painful it was for him, but Chris waves him off and the wound heals itself. "If you heal me, you'll be infected too."

"If we can't find the cure, we'll have to summon The Keeper and The Protector, someone Destiny handpicked as the purest of beings -dead or alive- at the time of the old Keeper's death, we'll have to summon Prue and Andy."
