Disclaimer: It's on the first chapter if you want to see it. Basically I don't own Charmed.
A/N: Julie... she was Cole's old assitant.... anything before Queen-of-the-Underworld-Phoebe was her... anything after was just someone she had pose to be her.

Chapter 2: Discoveries

Phoebe ran towards the door as he walked in, a smile on her face. I think I figured it out! She waved a notebook in the air. Here read, she handed him the notebook.
It's just scribbling, Cole looked over the paper.
I don't have my glasses. Phoebe blushed. It basically says that I think that she stole my powers.
We know that, Cole put his briefcase away.
Let me finish! And I came up with a ton of reasons why she's not affected by Piper or Paige's powers.
How much is a ton? Cole hung his coat in the closet.
Phoebe bit her lip. Cole was about to say something, but she cut him off. Yeah I know I need to narrow it down. Did you find anything out?
He sat down and shook his head. Not really. Whoever she is she's covering her tracks very, very well.
Phoebe sighed and sat down next to him. We'll figure it out. I'm not worried about it.
Yeah you are. And you should be, Cole replied.
Phoebe smiled. Well the good thing is that evenwithout my powers I can protect myself. If Piper lost hers than she's be lost. I couldn't rely on them that much so... I'm good.
Yeah you are, Cole agreed with a contented smile.
==================================
I can't believe that, Piper said as Paige walked into the kitchen.
I said it two days ago, Paige said with a sigh.
I know my own sister, Paige, and that's her, Piper said, referring to Phoebe, who was at work.
She's my sister too, Piper, Paige said, miffed.
Piper's voice and look softened. I know that, Paige. You are my sister. I don't doubt that and neither does Phoebe.
I know, I know. They hugged.
==================================
Why are you all dressed up? Cole asked, referring to the black skirt, lavender shirt, and fancy black shoes that Phoebe were wearing.
I was thinking... Phoebe began. She smoothed out her skirt. Sit down, Cole.
Cole refused.
Fine, but I'm sitting down. Phoebe did so. Staring at her shoes she continued. I was thinking... maybe... maybe you could take me to see my sisters?
I can't, he said sadly, clasping Phoebe's hand in his own. They'd try to kill me and maybe you. They think that she's Phoebe and think that you're just a shapeshifter most likely.
Phoebe sighed. All right, but I'm going to be angry at them when they figure out it isn't me. They both tried to laugh, but only ended up hugging, comforting each other.
==================================
Elise burst through the door of her office. Do you have the column?
I have six... for weeks in advance, Phoebe handed them over to a smile.
Elise looked at the papers in her hand, eyes almost popping out of her head.
Phoebe smiled. Wow's right. Since I'm done can I just not come for a while? To work I mean?
Elise frowned and shook her head. I still need you here. We'll probably give you some extra articles and you'll have to fix proofreading mistakes on these.
Phoebe waved her hand in front of Elise's face.
Elise said with a smile, walking out of the office.
Phoebe smirked at her back and morphed into a blond girl. Her blond hair fell straight down her back and she was much taller than Phoebe. Her name? Julie
==================================
Kaia sat in a cave in the underworld, playing with her braids. Her sister had brought her back from the dead and, sure, she was grateful, but it was really boring down here.
Julie shimmered in. I was sick of trying to do the job like the real Halliwell twit so I just passed in everything I needed.
Was it good advice? Kaia sat straight in her chair now.
Julie threw a small fireball near Kaia. Doesn't matter. What matters is that the real Halliwell's back. We need to find her and imprison her again.
Remind me why we're doing this, Kaia asked.
We kidnapped her at first so that she'd miscarry. Plus we had to engineer things the way we wanted them. Then the boss just had fun with her, torturing and all. Now we have to kidnap her so that my cover isn't blown.
Then what? Kaia popped another stick of bubblegum into her mouth.
Julie sighed, exasperated. Then we destroy them with all the knowledge we have about them. We destroy Piper's child and keep his power. I torture Phoebe and lock her in an alternate dimension. Then I keep Cole.
He's more powerful than you, Kaia said.
He's only Belthazor now, Julie snapped.
No he isn't. He lied to the sisters. I asked one of the Oracles.
Their visions are fuzzy, Julie shot back, denying the truth. They're wrong.
You're wrong, Kaia countered and in a flash, due to Julie, she was only a pile of smoke.
Julie laughed. You're wrong.
==================================
Paige looked at her notebook. She had started writing all the differences between before-queen Phoebe and after. She was starting to believe Cole.
Before Queen
- not overboard on work
- in love with Cole
- very naive
- more magic oriented

After
- work, work, and more work
- hates Cole (??)

Paige sighed at that one. She had the feeling that Phoebe would be angry at Cole whether he was the real one or not. She continued down the list

- less magic oriented
- not with her family that much
- way crazier dress sense

Paige laughed. Phoebe's dressing had always been a little funny, but after Cole died it became absolutely crazy. She wasn't sure if that had anything to do with anything, but she wrote it down nonetheless.
==================================
Piper sighed. She was thinking of using Wyatt to see if they were living with the real Phoebe, but then she thought back to the Crone. She's fooled Wyatt and she didn't look like any of them!
Piper stirred the potion. She had concocted it this morning. She called it the Unmasking Potion and was thinking of writing in the book. She thought it was that good.
She planned to throw it at her unsuspecting sister as she walked in the door.
==================================
Paige! Get down here! Piper yelled up the stairs.
I'm here! Stop yelling! Paige orbed in next to her sister.
You don't think that Phoebe's really Phoebe do you? Piper cornered her.
No I don't. Paige stood her ground.
I'm going to prove that she is. Piper waved the potion vial in the air, the violet liquid inside sloshing from side to side. I'm going to throw this at her when she comes home. If it's really Phoebe nothing will happen... if it's not....
Hey, guys! Phoebe's voice made them both turn and stare. She looked at them and laughed. What? Demon's behind me?
She turned and Piper launched the potion at her.
