I was going to rework this chapter because I was under the impression that something was wrong with it because of the lack of reviews as in zero. Which was something I had not experienced before, I was informed however that I was being to emotional…thanks for the tip maybe you where right (you know how you are) anyway I figured I would look it over make any changes it may need and maybe add a little seeing how it is a little shorter than I normally post. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and opinion.
Hey there everyone I know it has been a while and I am sorry for that, but I hit yet another wall. That wall is gone now so lets get started, I also wanted to say there will be more time travel, and other visitor in this chapter…so I hope this hasn't became redundant. This one took longer than I thought it would, it took me forever to come up with a title for this chapter…I just got it yesterday which was the 28 of August and I started this chapter in July. Oh I thought I should add this note: Chris Halliwell is in 2004, and Chris Perry is in 2018…I hope no one is as confused as me, this is another reason it took so long…sorry again.
I want to thank everyone for reading or just adding me to their alerts.

2004
Chris Halliwell stood in the attic of the manor with his future family. No one noticed that Chris Perry was no longer in the room with them. "That was a good one Chris; do you know how long we wanted to turn that around on…you?"
Chris looked at Paige as she laughed while stating the question about his smart remark to himself.
"Yeah good one" Phoebe and Piper both let out at the same time.
Leo was the first to look around the room and see that the other Chris was not there. "Hey did anyone see where Chris…I mean the older Chris went?" Just then a, bright blue triquetra started to glow on the wall as a man came threw.
The tall Blonde man turned his head toward Chris as his eyes fell on his little brother. "Chris, what happened…why, do you look like your still in the midst of puberty." Wyatt had a smirk on his face as he said this.
Chris froze as he saw and heard Wyatt. He knew his other self had dealt with this version of his brother, but Chris had not. He knew he existed but never thought he would meet him. "I…I am not…" was all he could say as he craned his neck more than he could ever remember to look Wyatt in the eyes.
"He is not who you think he is."
Wyatt looked at his mother "Oh, I know who he is even if you don't mom." Wyatt smiled at Piper "he is my little brother."
"I know that" she said back to him. "He just isn't the one you think he is, he came here from a different time line and he needs to go home."
Wyatt's smile faded "then where is Chris?" Wyatt was now visibly pissed. "I came to bring him home; I am tried of waiting on others to do their job." He said getting a little louder near the end of his sentence as if someone there could hear him.
Phoebe looked amused at her nephew. "Well maybe you shouldn't send lackeys to do your job."
Wyatt jerked his head toward his aunt and his smile came back. "Maybe your right, I will let Ben know that." Phoebe not getting what he meant about Ben or who Ben was for that matter just put a hand on her hip and let out an exasperated breath. Turning back to Chris, Wyatt took a step toward him, saying "I guess since you all lost mine this one will have to do." Chris in turn took one away from Wyatt. "What's wrong, Chris don't you want to go home with me?"
Just then as if in a bad dream…I hear him say my name again.
"Chris don't you want to come home with me?"
I couldn't take my eyes off of her casket, not even to look at him. I just stood there letting the rain hit me in the face.
"Chris, it is okay buddy you don't have to answer."
My Grandfather was always more understandable than my brother. Now they are starting to disagree with each other.
"Wyatt, he is not ready to go just yet."
I feel my Grandfather put his hand on my shoulder. I start to tense up when I hear my brother's reply.
"I know what is best for him, he is my responsibility now...and I am ready to go."
Now it is Gramp's turn again.
"Look young man…Wyatt you know that you and Chris don't have to go through this alone I am always here for both of you."
How could he expect me to go anywhere with him, he didn't even come when I called him…he could have saved her, she could still be alive.
At once there was another hand on my shoulder; this one was harder and held on to me more firmly. "Not now Grandpa, we need some time."
He squeezed my shoulder a little tighter. "Now, Christopher lets go home."
I finally tore my eyes away from her to see the intense look my Grandfather and older brother where giving each other, knowing only I could stop it. I looked up at Wyatt and said…
"Hell no, I won't go with you." Chris yelled as reality came back to him.
"Well too bad"
Just then Piper step between her sons. "Wyatt you are not taking him anywhere, besides he isn't your Chris."
Wyatt now had a look of amusement on his face. "What are you going to stop me?" He then looked passed her at Chris. "I said he would have to do, besides he minded better at this age, and still looked at me as if I hung the moon."
Now, a pissed off Piper Halliwell took a step closer to her oldest son "Yes I am, and wipe that grin off of your face."
With in the blink of an eye Piper was move across the attic and Wyatt had a hold of Chris' arm, Chris' eyes went wide as he yelled "mom" reaching for her as the wall began to glow blue once more "Sorry mother, but we have to go."
Everyone in the attic was ready to take him on to save Chris, but they were not fast enough. The once glowing wall became just a wall again. "Damn it, now what" Piper asked no one in particular.
Leo turned to his wife and put a hand on her arm trying to reassure her that everything would be okay.

2018
Just then Ben brought the two brothers out of there thoughts and back to the point at hand. "I am taking you back Chris…whether you want to go or not.
"Hell no I wont go anywhere with you Ben." Chris Perry said to his cousin as he took a step backward.
Just as Ben took a step toward Chris, Wyatt stepped between them once again. "I said you are not taking him anywhere." As he did this Wyatt's shield went up blocking Ben from his target. Fuming mad Ben waved his hand through the air trying to get through, but it was no use no one could get through that damn blue bubble.
Now as if in some really bad flashback Phoebe and the rest saw Ben turn into his demon form and in doing so he looked even more like Cole than before. "Oh my god" Phoebe yelled. Ben tried again to get past the protective shield of Wyatt but there was no use.
"Damn witch" he yelled at Wyatt. Ben knew his cousin had more power than he ever would but hoped that Wyatt, being younger would give him an advantage but this did not prove to be the case.
Wyatt just smiled at his new found demon cousin "like I said you are not taking him anywhere."
That is when he turned on the others in the room, "well you forgot to put them in your little blue bubble." Ben said this as he walked toward Phoebe with an evil grin on his face. Wyatt watched Ben as he walked across the room toward his aunt.
"Leave her out of this." Was all that Wyatt could get out, but then he heard Chris.
"Oh, wow that was so déjà vu." Chris saw Wyatt look at him as if to say, is this really the time?
Chris keeping eye contacted with his brother "Sorry Wy." Turning back to face Ben, Wyatt and the rest of the family watched as he shimmered out with Phoebe.
"Oh crap, now we have to find her instead of looking for Chris." Piper said as she threw her arms up.
0000000000000000
Ben and Phoebe reformed in a very familiar place, "what are we doing here?" Phoebe asked as she turned to see the son she never gave birth too.
"What you don't recognize the place mother or you don't want to be here?" His voice laced with animosity. Phoebe looked around there was no doubt in her mind where they were, it was the pent house she use to share with Cole. It looked as though someone lived there, but she seemed to be behind some sort of thin veil.
The family that was going about their daily routine didn't even see them. "I know where we are." She snapped just then the lady of the house had come out of the master bedroom and walked to the kitchen, "but why are we here?" she asked as she turned to see him.
Ignoring her he took a step toward the fire place, "Barbas" was all he said and the demon of fear appeared.
"You called?" Barbas said with that evil smile resting on his face.
"You need to finish what you started."
"He is gone how am I suppose to do that?"
Getting slightly irritated Ben said "use the other one, do I have to do all the thinking."
Barbas, now more than a little annoyed with the way to cocky demon half-breed from the future turned around and said before leaving "I can think on my own."
Giving a half cocked smile with a hint of sarcasm Phoebe told Ben "you might not want to piss him off his powers work on demons as well."
This time he turned to face her "I am not worried about him, it is Christopher that posses a problem and you are going to help me get him."
Shaking her head "No, no I won't, why are you after him, what problem does he posse and I don't understand how you are alive I saw you blow up."
As the Cole look a like faced her he smiled yet again but this time there was a dark cloud in his eyes as he answered her. "You won't have a choice for one, this family here won't see another day if you don't, for two I was paid to come after him and I never fail, three is none of your business, and four dear mother" he paused as he paced for a bit. Then stopping to look her in the eye, "did you think that I would let you get away with trying to kill me, that I wouldn't sense it and have a back up plan?"
He paced a little more, this means she under estimated him and he wasn't sure how he felt about it then said "getting the Seer to tap into my powers was nothing less than brilliant, I must admit but what you didn't see on the other side of that explosion was…"
"You, getting away" Phoebe finished for him.
"I was just a ball of energy at that time, but I knew where a witch was that could sustain me till I was born one that would have no problems with the hot flashes."
Phoebe's face turn white as the color drained from it as she realized who and said "A firestarter Christy…she."
"Yes that's right she was the key to the ultimate power, but it was not, and is not Billie. You see mother it was me…well it should have only been me but then Piper had to go and get knocked up." He said this getting a little angrier as he went. "I was the twice blessed, not Wyatt the little brat had to go and be born six weeks early on my birthday, keeping the delicate balance of things in order." Ben let all of this, out with rage and jealousy lining his every word.
Phoebe didn't think it possible that she could lose anymore color but she saw her color drain even more, knowing that Ben spoke the truth.
Then answering her last question, so she didn't ask it again "we are here because this is where it started for me and there are some things you need to see."

2004
Everyone in the Halliwell attic stared at the wall that had just gone back solid with shock on their faces. Piper was the first to move toward the spot both her boys disappeared from "damn it, now we have to go after him."
Paige turned to see Piper "you don't think he will hurt him, do you?"
Piper not wanting to think that was possible, couldn't help but wander. "I don't know, but I hope not." Going over to the table in the center of the room Piper grabbed a pen and a note pad.
Paige watched as Piper did this. "What are you doing?"
Answering Paige, but not looking up as she started to write. "What does it look like, I am writing a spell." After a few moments she put the paper down "ok, I think that will do."
Piper read the spell aloud hoping it would take them to Chris.
"Move us through space and time,
So I can find this son of mine."
The attic began to melt away, and then they where…in the attic. "Are you kidding me?" Piper said as she through her hands up.
"Piper, what is going on?" She heard a familiar voice say her name.
Turning around, all at the same time Piper, Paige, and Leo all saw themselves Wyatt and Chris Perry. "Hey where am I?" asked Phoebe.
"Pheebs, I don't think that is the problem right now." Paige told Phoebe as to remind her why they where even there.
Chris looked at his mother and father and then as if on cue Wyatt and Chris said "No, I think that is the problem."
"What…why?" Paige said as she turned from Phoebe to her nephews.
"Well Aunt Paige" Wyatt said "it seems our cousin Ben has taken her, and he has issues with her."
A shocked look crossed Phoebe's face as she asked "what…why, and who is Ben?"
Chris and Wyatt passed a look that the older Charmed Ones had seen before. "What, what is it?" Piper found her self asking her boys just like before.
They passed one more glance before Wyatt sighed and started to explain just to be interrupted by Chris. "I'll take this one." He said looking at his brother.
Chris took a deep breath and then started "Phoebe, Ben is your son I am not sure if he exists in this time line." He paused to see her reaction, and then went on. "He was sent after me, to take me back…to Wyatt." Chris found this a little hard to say and was sure it was just as hard if not harder for Wyatt too hear, knowing just how close the fourteen year old version of himself and this version of his older brother where.
Phoebe looked at him in utter shock "I don't understand, how"
Chris let out a long over due breath "He was in my time the son of you and Cole."
Younger Paige shot a look at her new found nephew. "That is impossible we saw him die."
Shaking his head the dark haired whitchlighter said "no you only thought he died trust me he didn't, and when we found that out it was to late…he had been raised to be evil."
"By who, and why" Leo asked
"I almost forgot you where here Leo," Chris said as he turned toward his father. Wyatt didn't like hearing Chris call their father by his name. Still looking at Leo the half witch said. "Well you see he was harbored by Christy till his birth, and then raised by her and the Triad." Chris watched his family pass looks around before continuing. "Then after you vanquished them he was passed around to learn everything he could from different demons and seeing, that he was the son of the Source he became highly sought after to raise and too kill."
Leo took the break in Chris' story to say "so, he had to fight off other demons as well learn from them? "
"Yes, and he uses all of that knowledge to get the job done…whatever that job maybe." The youngest of Piper's boys looked very worried as he said this, which by the way was very unusual for him. None of the people in the room could ever remember being able to read him like a book…well everyone except for Wyatt.
Both Pipers said "ok so how does that help us now…I mean get you, and her back?" as they looked at Chris, and pointed at Phoebe.
Looking at the floor and then back at both of his mothers Chris let out "I am not sure, but now we know we can scry for him or her, use the "to call a lost witch" spell and try to find them."
