So that's what they did. P.J. sat next to Chris and took his hand then Melinda's, who took Wyatt's. Wyatt then took Chris' hand and began to reach out mentally to try to connect with Chris. He pictured himself standing and could see what appears to be memories in 2 rows circling around Chris, the inner circle trailing into him. He saw a break and tried to reach Chris. The memory stream then hit Wyatt's hand and shattered. It kicked Wyatt out of Chris' head. It reverberated around and knocked all four to the floor unconscious.
It was about an hour or so later when Phoebe decided to see and talk to P.J. she had forgotten P.J. telling her there was an emergency. She knocked on the door but got no response. She thought about just going in and placed her hand on the knob when she got a premonition of the kids sitting in a circle holding hands then getting knocked back by a mysterious force and passing out. She quickly opened the door and found the kids just like her vision. She quickly picked up P.J. and held her and kept tapping her cheeks. Seeing the others the same way she decided to call for help. "Leo."
Leo orbed in and was shocked by the sight. He immediately went to Wyatt. "What happened here Phoebe?"
"I don't know. Ladybug had asked me a question but I didn't have time to answer her as we were dealing with the horseman. I came as soon as we finished and found them like this. What do we do?"
"We'll take Wyatt and P.J. back to the manor then I'll come back later and check on Chris and Melissa." However as Leo tried to sit Wyatt up and pull him a little closer to Phoebe he found that he had a tight grip on Chris' hand that seemed lax. He frowned not liking how Wyatt seemed so close to Chris. He had to break them up. Although he wasn't sure how. He held Wyatt's hand and gave a small spark of electricity. However having a brother that generates electricity Wyatt was by now immune to such low voltage.
"Leo what are you doing? We don't know what's going on. Breaking them apart could be dangerous for one or both."
Leo only thinking of wanting to separate Chris from Wyatt did consider it. But when P.J. moaned a little Leo worked to pry Wyatt's fingers and got it. Although he felt a twinge of guilt seeing Wyatt refex his hands like he wanted to be reconnected to Chris. He quickly grabbed Phoebe's leg and orbed the four of them to the manor.
Piper seeing her grown adult son lying on the couch unconscious freaked her out. "Leo what's going on? What happened?"
"I don't know. Ask Phoebe, she called me and I found everyone unconscious."
"Is he all right?" Piper asked.
"Physically I can't find anything wrong with him."
"Phoebe? What's going on?"
"I don't know. Ladybug came to me and told me there was a problem. Although I don't remember what she said as I was focused on getting to magic school to help."
"Really Phoebe, what's up with calling her that childish nickname? It's bad enough that the others do it. I can only assume they grew up calling her that. But what's your excuse?"
"I can't tell you that. Look I don't know what happened. I found them like this."
Leo meanwhile was still running healing hands over Wyatt and occasionally tapping his cheeks.
All the talking and arguing woke P.J. up. "What's all the noise?"
Phoebe was overjoyed, "How are you feeling Ladybug?"
"Okay I guess just a massive headache." P.J.said too out of it to realize that Phoebe again called her Ladybug and the concern in her voice. She now had most of the memories that were downloaded to Chris. Due to Wyatt's disruption it shattered and she and Melinda ended up with partial memories from the download. While he and Chris got the full load. She finally came around more as Leo was able to cure the headache. She then remembered what they had been doing. She saw Wyatt on the couch and much to Phoebe's disappointment scrambled to her cousin's side. "Wy, wake up." She said shaking him.
"Hmph, you think we haven't been doing that." Piper said.
P.J. looked at her cousin, "Wy, can you hear me?" When that didn't work she closed her eyes and concentrated, "Mel, Mel can you hear me?"
"What is she doing praying?" Piper asked.
"I don't know. I mean Cupid's can't heal and nothing happened when I tried healing him, so maybe." Leo said. Not knowing that she was still calling out to Melinda.
X-x-x-x
Back at P3 P.J.'s yelling managed to roust Melinda awake.
"Stop yelling already. I can hear you. Though barely over this headache."
"How's Chris doing?"
Melinda made her way over to him. "He's out. His eyes are glazed over. What are we going to do? Wait where are you and Wy?" She asked confused as she looked to where her brother and cousin were last time she saw them.
After seeing Wyatt in the same condition as Melinda described Chris she said, "He's in the same condition. We're at the manor. I can only assume mom did remember found us passed out and she took me and Leo took Wy."
"I'm surprised. I thought the grip Wy had on Chris was so tight he'd break his hand."
P.J. paused looked down and held Wyatt's hand that she saw he was attempting to squeeze hers. She glared at Leo. "What did you do?"
"What are you talking about?"
"He's trying to squeeze my hand. Like he was with Chris."
"What were you attempting to do? Was this your way of corrupting Wyatt to be evil?"
"Leo what did you do?" Piper asked.
"He pried Wyatt's hand that was gripping Chris'. Chris' hand was lax. Wyatt was the one gripping him. I don't know what was happening but I was worried and told Leo to not break them apart but he did anyway." Phoebe said.
"Leo that could have been dangerous."
"Piper, you don't understand they're trying to turn Wyatt evil. They're already starting to corrupt him."
P.J. had heard enough and beamed her and Wyatt back to P3.
"Ladybug what's going on?" Melinda asked sitting beside Chris. She watched as her cousin placed Chris' hand into Wyatt's. They then saw Wyatt squeeze his hand and a glow started in their hands and consumed them.
Before she could tell Melinda what happened an angry Leo with Piper and Phoebe appeared.
P.J. wasn't sure if Wyatt could hear her but decided to give it a shot. She reached down and grabbed Wyatt's hand, then indicated to Melinda to take Chris' hand who was already sitting beside him. Then P.J. said. "Wy, you have to put up your force field. If you don't someone is going to tear you and Chris apart again." She didn't want to take the time to explain who, what, when, where or why. She grabbed Melinda's hand. She was now half facing the angry Leo, concerned Phoebe and Piper. She was thankful that Wyatt apparently could hear her as his force field came up around them.
"What's going on honey?" Phoebe asked.
"Uh oh, I'd say someone knows who you are." Melinda said.
"Unlike what Leo thinks we are only here to protect baby Wyatt and save Chris." P.J. said ignoring her cousin as she sensed that, after Phoebe returned from the dream quest and confirmed when she woke up in her mother's arms just a short while ago.
This surprised everyone, "Save him from what?" Piper asked.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. Just know we want to protect Wyatt."
Then the shield went down and the glow stopped. Wyatt groaned and sat up. "Man, my head's killing me."
"How are you feeling Wyatt?" Leo asked, healing him.
Wyatt looked up confused for a moment then said, "I'm fine thanks."
"Wy, what about Chris?" Melinda asked.
"I'm sure he'll be fine. Wyatt we need to discuss what just happened." Leo said.
"No, this was part of the reason why when this started with Chris I chose not to call you."
"What's wrong with him?" Piper asked.
"It doesn't matter. Look Wyatt I understand he's blinding you to the fact that he is only here to turn you evil."
Wyatt glared at him, "He's always with me and never baby me. So how and when is he going to do that? It's been established that what affects baby me doesn't affect me."
"Wait when was this established?" Phoebe asked.
"When baby me was kidnapped by those men that changed his morality from good to evil. It didn't affect me. Chris is here to stop what we now know for a fact to be an elder. You can scream to the rooftops it's not an elder. Well now we not only know it's an elder we also know who he is. What was wrong with Chris is simply his future self from our world essentially sent him what happened. The rest of us didn't know what was wrong but we knew we had to help. So we held hands to try to help him through it." Wyatt knew he was a terrible liar. But he had to protect Chris. So he chose to tell them as much truth he could. He was thankful for the spell or he would likely have snapped and told them everything.
