Chapter 13 Talking.

Czuchry, their demonic enemy banished for now brought some comfort to the Halliwell family. But not a lot Piper still needed answers. Czuchry now gone was one less problem for the Halliwell family, but none could deny that he was the last of their enemies, they had a thousand more. The sisters and Chris are still standing the attic.

"Paige, ask Allen to come up here please," Piper ordered softly. Paige didn't bother to point out her confusion. She would just fetch Allen and see what would happen from there.

"I should get going," Chris started.

"No, you're staying, Phoebe don't you have a date to get to?" Piper says.

"Yeah, with Jason but I can cancel," Phoebe offered.

"No, you have to go and see him, you've had to cancel your last five dates because of demons go enjoy yourself," Piper replies. Phoebe left soon after leaving Piper alone with her middle child and youngest child.

"A lot has happened these past few days," Piper commented.

"Just the everyday life of someone magical," Allen said.

"I wouldn't say seeing my second future son full-grown along with his baby brother, the everyday life of someone magical. Even by the Halliwell standards," Piper replies. The two boys stare at each other intensely. They had been caught but how?

"H...How did you find out?" The boys asked.

"Little things, but what was a big indicator was the potion book, it didn't mention the blood of a powerful witch. It mentioned the blood or hair of a relation/relations to the victim blood preferred," Piper answers, "Now, I want answers and none of that future consequences crap. Plain and simple yes and no answers,"

"I would really appreciate a demon attack right now," Allen mumbled to Chris.

"You're telling me," Chris whispers back.

"It's rude to whisper and mumble," Piper said drawing the boy's attention and focus back to her.

"Since you've been frozen for so long Chris, why don't I show you how much the world has changed," Allen suggested, they really needed to make a break for it.

"Don't even try it the cat is out of the bag, I want all the details. Chris are you actually over twenty-one or have I been letting someone underage drink and sleep in my club," Piper both warned and asked.

"I'm legal," Chris answered, he should have never sent Allen down in the Underworld those few days ago.

"And your father would be the only Elder in the family," Piper assumed.

"Genetically yes, Piper," Chris replies.

"You look like me, except for the eyes there Leo's," Piper observed.

"Never really took any notice," Chris replied, Piper grew even more concerned and curious. Chris seemed even more closed off and emotionless when it came to Leo. What had happened between father and son?

"I've heard Allen's side of why, you guys withheld the truth from us, now I want to hear your side Christopher," Piper says.

"It would get in the way of the mission and time travel is complicated, we have to be careful of every action. One wrong move and we could erase someone important from existence. It's not something we've ever taken lightly, coming back here we're risking our own fate," Chris said.

"Time travel messy, things could have gone smoother if we had known. It's not like we've haven't had experience with time travel," Piper pointed out.

"Yes, but it's not exactly easy to tell a mother that evil hurts her child in the future badly," Chris responds.

"This evil does it still exist in your future?" Piper asks, she needed an answer to this, she couldn't bear to think she failed to vanquish anything evil that hurt a child of hers. Chris frowned before speaking.

"We don't know you never spoke about it openly and neither did Wyatt," Chris answers.

"Why didn't I come back? Or Leo or Phoebe, I know you said that Paige died in your timeline back when the Titans attacked," Piper asks, The boys looked at each other neither wanting to answer this question. "As your mother, I have the right to know,"

"You left us, not out of choice, we're the only ones who cared to come back to save Wyatt," Chris answered.

"Wyatt isn't just hurt by evil, he becomes evil, the trauma we believe he suppressed for years until eventually, another event happened causing him to snap," Allen revealed, Piper gasped, she couldn't believe none of her children had a bad bone in her body. She told herself, no child of hers could be evil.

"ALLEN," Chris snapped.

"I'm sorry, Chris but we're busted we haven't got a lot of time, you're due in a few months," Allen apologised.

"I wouldn't leave my children, I wouldn't allow one to turn evil," Piper protested.

"Future you never left us, out of choice things just got complicated the fact is, what we told you about evil hurting Wyatt, is the truth, we didn't believe you could handle the fact that the baby asleep in his crib, would one day expose magic and take over the world hunt down all magic beings that oppose him and do a lot more twisted stuff," Chris replied.

"I'm going to ask a question yes or no, one-worded answer, Christopher. The triquetra on your back was it Wyatt who gave it to you?" Piper asks, Chris rubbed his forehead briefly and avoided making direct eye contact. "I'll take that as a yes," Seconds later Chris vanishes in a swirl of white and blue orbs.

"Chris come back," Piper called out gently.

"He's gone to his special place, he won't come back here at least not for now," Allen says.
