CELEBRATION INTERRUPTED
A/N: I've stopped putting disclaimers since they annoy me but I don't know if I still have to..thanks for the suggestion on Phoebe's power but I am still debating so keep them coming.
Gaineewop: Thanks for the suggestion..the power she used in "Morality Bites" was I believe electricity generation. I was think either that or mental suggestion (the ability to mentally suggest thoughts and actions.)
Here goes the story.
Piper and Leo were in the middle of his welcome home celebration when they heard a crash. The couple instinctively ran to their son's nursery to make sure he was safe. He was safe and sound, and also fast asleep, it was difficult for Leo to pull himself away but Piper made him. What she saw downstairs made her wish she hadn't. Paige was lying at the foot of the stairs, her leg bent at an odd angle. Phoebe was lying underneath the little round table in the middle of the foyer. Leo ran towards Paige and healed her so she could call for the table. The familiar golden glow was emitted from his hands over Paige's head and her eyes opened. She tried to move but her leg was still broken so she could barely move. Leo moved toward her leg and healed her. Piper was about to ask Paige to call for the table but the table was already orbing into her hands. "Uhhhh.what just happened? I just thought it, I didn't call it yet."
"Your powers must be advancing Paige," explained Piper nonchalantly as she nervously watched her husband heal her little sister. She finally breathed when Phoebe sat up. She ran over to her, closely followed by Paige. The three embraced each other until Phoebe cleared her throat. "Uh guys." stated Phoebe, mostly looking at Piper and Leo, "I'm thrilled you're back and we're one big happy family again but we have a demon to find.
"Attic" the four said in unison and rushed up the stairs, Piper at super high speed. When she got to the attic, she saw the other three were downstairs. When they finally got upstairs they were all out of breath. "Geez, what took you guys so long?" Questioned a slightly annoyed Piper.
"Uh Piper...what do you mean what took us so long? We ran up here after you took off faster than the speed of light." Explained Paige
"You're crazy. I just jogged up here a little faster than you guys but wow, I thought you three got lost."
"Uh honey..I think you just got a new power," started Leo, "Paige was supposed to get hers first but I guess since your little speech, you got yours first."
"Well good! I got my second power almost a year after Phoebe and two after Prue. So what's it called?"
"It's supernatural speed. Remember when we were superheroes and we ran super duper fast? Well, I did a little reading up on it and it's called super natural speed." Explained Phoebe, not wanting to be out smarted by Paige who usually knew everything wiccan.
"OK, hate to break up this little celebration but we really needa find this demon dude." Interrupted a slightly annoyed Paige.
While Phoebe and Paige looked through the ancient book, Piper and Leo sat on the giant couch continuing their welcome home celebration in a more "PG" manner. "Hey you two, we can still see you," interjected Phoebe, only half-joking. "Oh shut up! You're just jealous," joked Piper. Phoebe didn't say anything back, just gave her older sister a playful glare before turning back to the book. "That's him!" She called out a minute later. The happy couple reluctantly walked over to the book while Paige read the passage aloud.
"OK, his name is Kreuk. He's a lower level demon on the verge of upper level-'ness' who gets his kicks and possibly higher status by capturing innocent souls just coming into their powers."
"Well that doesn't make sense, we've had our powers for over five years. Could he know I was going to get a new power?"
"No, it says just coming into their powers, not gaining a new power. So who could he be after?" Regretting the words the second they left her mouth, she realized who he was after: Wyatt. Phoebe realized this too and gave Paige a nervous glance as Piper started figuring it out. "Wait, he can't be after Wyatt can he? Is the Crone's law no longer valid since she died? When you guys called for me it was because Wyatt came into his powers wasn't it?"
Phoebe and Paige just looked down at the floor not knowing what to say. They didn't want Piper to figure out they saw her son's powers before her, they were afraid she would be upset she missed it. Sensing this, Piper decided to ease their worries, "Oh you guys, it's ok I don't care. I mean I would have like to have been here but I was saving my marriage. So tell me, what's his power?"
"Temporal Stasis." Said Phoebe simply
"My baby has my power? Oh I'm so happy!" Leo came up behind his wife and hugged her. The two stood there rejoicing for a moment before the realization that someone was after their son set in. "OK, now onto the vanquish. How's it done?"
"Potion and spell. Surprise, surprise. OK, Piper, you wanna make the potion or want me to do it and Phoebe can write the spell?"
"What, don't think I can handle it? I am co-head witch remember."
"Well, excuuuse me, I thought I was doing you a favor since the potion might take a couple hours, and Phoebe could have Wyatt with her in case the demon shows up so he can freeze him and I'd be busy in the kitchen."
"Ohhhhhh...gotcha," said Piper before she rushed off and came back in ten seconds with her son and handed him to Phoebe, "Bye!" was all she said before she grabbed Leo's hand and rushed off.
"Man she's lucky. Three active powers, a loving husband, and gorgeous son. It really makes me miss Jason. I'm starting to think I should have gone with him."
"Oh Phoebe, you know as well as I do that everything happens for a reason. If it's meant to be, it will be. You know he cares about you as much as you care about him. You can still see him whenever you need to, I can always orb you there."
"You're right, I know you're right. OK, let's get started on the potion and spell. Is there a spell in the book or must I write one?"
"You needa write one Pheebs."
"OK, one vanquishing spell coming up. Now you go get started on the potion."
"Will do sis." Said Paige upon exiting the attic and leaving Phoebe and Wyatt to write a spell. "Hi wittle guy!" said Phoebe in her baby voice to her nephew, "ready to vanquish your first demon?" She took the cooing and gurgling noises as a yes.
Two hours later Phoebe scooped up her nephew who was happily playing on the blanket she had spread out and she headed downstairs to tell Paige she wrote a spell. She walked into the kitchen only to find Paige putting the vanquishing potion into three potion bottles. "All done with the potion, got the spell?" greeted Paige. "It's right here," replied Phoebe holding up three pieces of paper, "should we go get Piper or wait a couple more hours?"
"I say wait a couple hours. We'll summon him when and if they come out of that room unless he attacks first."
"Sounds like a plan. Now I suggest we spend some quality time with our nephew seeing as his daddy is back and we won't get to play with him as much."
"Fine by me. So what do you think Piper said to the Elders to make them send Leo back?"
"Well, I'm guessing it was something she's wanted to say to them for a while: give me what I want or I'll stop fighting for you."
"I guess you're right. OK my turn to hold him. Hand him over."
"No I don't wanna! He likes me the mostest and wants to stay with me." Argued Phoebe in her baby voice as she ran away from her younger sister with Wyatt in her arms. Paige ran off after them but was too late. She couldn't see them. She decided to check in Phoebe's room first. She walked slowly up the stairs until she heard a scream. She was only on the second step so she orbed up to Phoebe's room. She saw Phoebe on the floor and Wyatt was nowhere to be seen. She looked all around the room for Wyatt before calling for Leo and Piper. Leo was already at the doorway but Piper was still in the room. "Leo heal her! Where's Piper?"
"She's still in our room, she's having a little trouble controlling her speed since her new power and all," replied Leo while healing Phoebe.
Her eyes opened and she sat up seconds later. Paige and Leo helped her onto her bed. "Leo, wait with Phoebe and try to figure out what happened while I go see where Piper is."
"Ummm..how bout you wait with Phoebe and I'll see if Piper is ready yet."
"Okkkk..." replied Paige, a little skeptical but sat down on the bed and watched Leo exit the room. "Phoebe honey, I need you to tell me where Wyatt is. Did Kreuk take him?"
"No no no no no." replied Phoebe, rocking herself back and forth. "He he he..bright lights..went away."
"Phoebe sweetie, did he orb out? Like this?" Paige got up and orbed out, hoping to refresh her older sister's memory.
"Yeah yeah yeah he did that..that.that's what he did and went byebye."
"OK honey, I'm gonna go see where Leo is and try to sense Wyatt." With that said, Paige walked out of the room towards Leo and Piper's bedroom. She knocked lightly on the door. Leo walked out a minute later. "How's Piper? She 'up to speed' yet?"
"Not really, she's going really slowly. Barely has her socks on. How's Phoebe?"
"Not good. She's sitting on her bed, rocking herself back and forth. She can't make out a full sentence. She told me Wyatt orbed out but she doesn't know where to. I don't think Kreuk got him. Can you sense Wyatt?" Leo closed his eyes and concentrated. "Got him. Stay here and help Piper control her new power." With that, Leo orbed out.
