Prompt: Piper, being pushed beyond the limits of her powers
Her baby boy is dead. She knows—Daddy told her—that today is the day she died, in that horrific future Chris came from, but instead she's holding her baby boy as he bleeds out, and she's screaming for Leo, for Wyatt, for anyone at all who can heal, but no one comes.
Is this what it was like for him, first time around?
She tries freezing him, tries to staunching the flow with towels and her shirt, and his eyes stay closed for longer and longer as he mutters something about Mama and cold.
He dies in her arms and no one answers her calls and she can't—she can't live in a world without her baby boy, who already died once before.
She couldn't freeze him long enough to save his life. She couldn't freeze him at all because he's—he was her son, a witch, one of her own. Her baby boy.
So holding his body, covered in his blood, she screams and freezes the world. Let time end since no one came for him.
She's never experienced her own power before and she hopes it means she'll feel nothing.
(It does, and the tears freeze on her face.)
