Chapter 9: Potions
"So how do we go about makeing the this potion?" Leo asked "You said you need the original potion, and Wyatt has it, how are you going to get it."
"Like this." Lindy said with a small smile "Wyatt Mathew Halliwell get your ass down here now, and bring the potion you used for time travel."
The ruler of the world sent her a telepathic message back.
"I don't give a damn if your in a meeting, you made this mess and now your going to help us fix it." She yelled back
Again he sent a telepathic reply
"NO you will not send someone with the potion you will orb it here yourself."
Their was yet another telepathic response.
"Damn him."
"He's not going to sent a demon is he?" Paige asked worried
"Well if he does we'll vanquish it." The twins said gleefully as though they wanted to kill something.
"Hey," Phoebe said as she caught a shimmer out of the corner of her eye.
All 9 people looked as a 23-year-old, holding a small potion vile shimmered into focus.
Piper raised her hands in anticipation to blow him up but Melinda stopped her.
"He doesn't blow up." She told the eldest charmed one.
"Then how are we going to fight him." Phoebe asked in confusion.
"We're not going to fight him." Lily told them.
"But he's a demon." Leo said, God, these People are freaks. he thought
"I could say the same thing about you." Lindy smirked at him.
"Don't you ever read my mind." Leo glared stone hard into her eyes just knowing she was terrified.
"Don't think so loudly." She replied with a much scarier glare.
"You don't scare us Leo."
"So never make the mistake of thinking you do."
"We've seen a hell of a lot worse." Lindy said
"Um, there's still a demon here." Paige told them nervously.
"I'm only half demon." said He told them indignantly.
"Yeah," Chris told them, "Remember that Manticore baby?"
"Yeah."
"Well this is Him all grown up." Chris told the stunned Charmed ones
"Hi." The young man said very polity, "I'm Jonathan Swenson,"
"What's he doing here?" Piper asked.
"I got the potion you wanted." Jonathan told them again with absolutely perfect manners.
"Well drop the vile and go or I'll vanquish you." Leo said to the demon.
"I am not afraid of you." Jonathan told the elder in a very threatening tone. "Do you need any thing else." he asked the other politely and pleasantly.
"We're going to need someone to get different ingredients for the potion." Chris told him.
"What, cat got your orb?" Jonathan laughted
"Ha ha, Funny, no, we need someone to get ingredients from the underworld." Chris said annoyed.
"Oh, so that's why you wanted Wy." Jonathan said.
"Yeah, but now that I think about it he probably would have screwed it up so It's better your here."
"My ame is to please," He told the young witchlighter.
"And that Is why we love you."
Some of use more then others she silently added to her twin who burst out laughing but thankfully only in there heads.
"What's so funny?" Lindy asked Hearing the Laughter.
"Inside joke." was her only response.
"Inside as in we wouldn't get it or inside as in you said it in your heads and I missed it?" Lindy asked just for clarification
"The second one."
"How did I know." Lindy said as she followed Every body into the Kitchen the twins at her heals.
20 minets later all 10 people stood around a cauldron waiting for it to boil.
"Chris what is that thing your mom us to tell us when she was teaching us how to cook, something about watching and boiling?"
"A watched pot never boils?" Piper asked.
"That's it." Stephenie responded for her sister. "So can we please not watch it."
"There are other ways to boil water." Lindy smiled.
"How?" Paige asked.
"NO," Chris yelled at the younger witch causing the 2004ers to jump, but Lindy didn't even flinch, "That's personal gain."
"What's personal gain?" Paige questioned.
"It's not personal gain, it's to help the potion."
"What's not personal gain." Paige asked, and the twins grinned at each other, sensing a major blow up, they where however surprised that Chris and Melinda failed to notice the signs, even if it had been many years since there aunt had died the had seen similar blow ups times two.
"It makes the potion easier, that's personal gain." Chris told the girl.
"No it makes it get done quicker and is there for more efficient." Lindy argued.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?" Paige yelled scaring everybody in the room.
"Um…" Chris started as he stood terrified of his aunt. "Lindy wants to say a spell to make the water boil faster and I think it's personal gain."
"But Chris the sooner we get done with the potion the sooner they get back to there time and the less they find out about our time." Lindy said knowing what his reaction would be.
"That was low, even for you." Chris said giving her a mock glare.
"I Don't know what your talking about." She smiled innocently at him.
"Just say the stupid spell." He ordered.
Her expression changed sharp and quick into a dark glare, "DON"T, tell me what to do." She said sternly , if she wanted to be controlled by people who thought they knew everything she'd still work for the council.
"I'm sorry." He apologised sinisterly.
"Double Double toil and trouble
fire burn and cauldron bubble."
Lindy chanted, and the water started boiling immediately.
"Does that always work?" Piper asked wondering if she could use it in cooking.
"It always works, but it ruins food, magic makes everything go stale."
I always thought it tasted better.
Yeah, Melinda what gives?
How fast do you think Chris would go nuclear and start blowing up the place if I told his mother to use magic for cooking.? Melinda questioned her cousins.
I see your point.
Yeah, great cover Melinda.
Shut up. A yell eruped in the twins head thanks to there cousin.
While The Twins and Lindy had been arguing Chris had produced the potion into the pot of boiling water, and started makeing a list of ingredients needed to make a revers.
"OK," He said as he handed a list to Lily, "Can you get me all that stuff?" He asked
She staired at the list for a few seconds then shook her head. "No." she told him simply and then dematerialized somewhere.
"These should only be available in the non Wyatt controlled part of the underworld so we need you to get then." Chris told Jonathan as he handed him another list.
"Am I allowed to steal or is do I have to get all this stuff by buying and trading?" Jonathan asked as he scanned the list.
"If I don't know how you acquired it how can I get mad at you for stealing?" Chris asked, and with that clarification, He Shimmered out.
Then Chris turned his attention to the twins,"Do you two thing you can sweet talk your father into giving you these ingredients?" He asked.
"Chris, we wanted on thing challenging,"
"To bad" was there response and in a huff they orbed out.
"I need you to find the stuff we already have." Chris told the current youngest in the club.
"OK" she said looking at the other ingredients, "Rosemary, Chris are you sure we need rosemary. I thought rosemary was only used life potions not in time and space ones."
"And that is why I cook and you rhyme." Chris told her.
"No, you cook and do the flicky hand thingy, I kick demon ass and if that doesn't kill them then I rhyme."
"Go get the stuff." He told the annoying little telepath.
"I am not annoying." she called as she left the kitchen for the potions cupboard.
"Whats a life potion?" Phoebe asked.
"It's a stupid thing magic school teachers came up with so you could classifies potions, Life potions affect your life you know, love potions luck potions, truth potions, Time and space potions transport you, and you know what vanquishing ones do. Any way they teach them like there one ingredient fits all but really there are a million different ways to make one potion. I don't know why she said that though she knows all about how inaccurate that system is, God even Wyatt knows how inaccurate the system is."
"Flicky hand thingy?" Piper asked her whitelighter?
"Inside joke." He told her deadpanned.
After another 2 hours everyone had returned with there required items and Chris started really makeing the potion. With each new ingredient the potion let out a different recitation, often which would call Chris to say something like,
"What the hell did he put in this thing?"
After another 3 grueling hour of determining what ingredients had been used (in which time Leo and Phoebe had fallen asleep, Jonathan had gone to grab something to eat, The twins had dragged Paige to the potions cupered show her a book she had written, or would write, called "Being a WitchLighter". Lily had said something about cleaning her daggers, and Melinda had started reading the minds of random people on the street and had a blank look on her face. Piper however was watching Chris with a look of great interest on her face) Chris had made another list of what else was needed to make a reversal.
''OK," said Chris finishing off the list. "Time to get started, Piper please wake Phoebe and Leo up. Trisha, Stephenie, you need to bring Paige back, Lily you don't have that many daggers so come on. And Lindy please use your ability to break into people's minds and get Jonathan back here."
After another long period of time all the easily obtainable items had been found, and Chris prepared to get the rarest and most dangerous ones.
"We need Jerser." Chris told those from his time.
"What's that?" Paige asked but was ignored.
"I can get it." Lily told him.
"How?"
"I know a guy." Lily said.
"You know a guy?" Chris confirmed.
"Yeah."
"Do I want details?" Chris asked.
"No." she told him as she dematerialized
"Amly?" Chris asked the remaining 2024ers
"We can't sweet talk dad out of that but we do know the code to get into the storage vault of council."
"You're going to steal from the council, are you to insane?" Jonathan asked
"And this from the half demon, pathetic." and they orbed out.
"What else do you need." Lindy asked.
"Wait until everyone gets back because I don't know who can get this."
The others returned quick enough and then Chris told them the last ingredient.
"We need pixi blood." he told the crowd.
"What." Jonathan asked "You can't be serious."
"I don't know where to get that, I wouldn't know someone who could tell me where to get it." Lily said.
"Dad wouldn't give us that under any circumstances."
"And we can't steal it, Any one who has it will have security." Jonathan told them.
"I can get it." Lindy said as she lifted a dagger out of Lily's belt and walked to the door.
'Where are you going?" Chris asked concerned.
"How bad do you want this potion Chris?" Lindy asked not looking at any one.
And by the time they reached the main room Melinda was gone.
