Disclaimer: I own no one. All characters are from the television show "Charmed", I'm writing for fun, and not for profit.
Authors note: I'm sorry this didn't get out sooner; I tried and tried last week, but fanfiction.net must have had problems. My brother and sister-in-law are visiting, so I don't know when the next chapter will be up. Hopefully I'll have it up before Saturday. Thank you for all of the reviews, keep them coming.

Title: Sister Switch Off

Chapter Twenty - Hour Too Late
Dan carried Phoebe down the stairs carefully, and paused when he got to Paige.
"Paige, sweetie." He said. She shook her head and brought her hand to her forehead, as if she had a headache.
"Dan?"
"Paige. Come on; let's go downstairs. I need you to call for Leo. He can't hear me."
Paige opened her eyes to see Dan holding her older sister.
"What happened?" She whispered after licking her lips. Her voice was hoarse, and it sounded as if she were thirsty.
"Earthquake. Can you stand up? Do you need me to come back for you?" Paige shook her head.
"I can get up." Paige stood up slowly, using the wall for support.
"You okay?" She nodded.
"I hurt."
"I healed you. You must be sore." Paige nodded again.
They headed down the stairs and walked straight to the living room, where Dan set Phoebe on the couch. He was thankful to see her breathing again, he didn't know what he would have done if he would have lost her.
"Can you call for Leo?" Paige nodded and called for him.
He didn't answer, and she called again. After three more calls, and he didn't show, she was afraid.
"Can you sense him, Paige?"
Paige had only sensed for someone once before. She closed her eyes and frowned. When she sensed where Leo was, she opened her eyes and shuddered.
"Dan, he and Piper... the dining room. They came back."
Dan rushed to the dining room where he saw Leo and Piper lying there helplessly. He kneeled beside Leo first, because he knew that Leo could help him heal Piper. He put his hands over Leo, and his healing power came to life again. It still felt different, but that wasn't going to stop him from healing his friend.
He didn't notice Paige come from behind him, and it startled him when she gasped.
"Where's Wyatt?"
Dan continued to heal Leo, although he was scared for the infant he had grown to love. Leo shook his head as he awoke, and pulled Piper to him. He and Dan both healed her, and Leo felt Dan's power as they both worked together. He looked at Dan frightfully, wondering how he equipped so much power.
Piper didn't awake, though she took in a deep breath.
"Wyatt- he's with the Elders." Leo said. "I'll be back." He said before he orbed to the heavens.
Dan lifted Piper, and she woke and struggled with him to put her on her feet.
"I can walk." She whispered. "Let me walk." Piper licked her lips as she put her hand to her forehead.
Dan helped her to her feet and led her to the living room. They followed Paige to the living room, where they all sat down. Paige sat down beside Phoebe's head, patting her hair softly.
"Piper, you okay?" Paige said.
"Yeah. I think so." Piper shrugged. "You okay?"
"Yeah."
"What about Phoebe?" Piper looked up at Dan. He bowed his head.
"A beam fell from the attic, it nearly crushed her. I got her out from under it and healed her. I had to do CPR also. She's okay now, I think." Dan said quietly.
"Did you heal me too?" Piper asked.
"Leo helped." He said with a nod. "Why?" Piper pointed to the grandfather clock that still stood ticking.
"Dan, it's nearly 10:15. You should have lost your powers an hour ago." Dan looked down at his hands.
"I need to tell you something." He said quietly. "It's starting to feel funny when I heal, Piper. I told you that I'd tell you if it started to feel weird, and it does." He cleared his throat. "That's not all."
"What is it Dan?" Paige asked.
"That beam that fell of Phoebe was heavy. Really heavy." Piper frowned, not understanding. "There shouldn't have been anyway that I could have moved it. But I did. I couldn't move it with my arms at first. So I tried kicking it as I sat on the floor. And I could only get it to move a couple of inches. And then-" he paused, "I kicked it forcefully, and it went halfway across the room."
Piper frowned. "Why did it do that?" She was afraid. This wasn't supposed to happen. Dan was getting strength from somewhere, and she didn't know how. "Why did it do that, Dan?"
"I- I don't know. I don't understand at all."
"Do you feel okay, Dan? Maybe the beam wasn't really that heavy?" Paige said.
"No, it was heavy." Dan ran his hands through his hair. "I feel really shaky. And nervous. Queasy feeling."
Leo orbed in holding Wyatt. He handed the infant to Piper, and then crossed his arms over his chest.
"The Elders want to see all of us. Now." Paige frowned.
"Up There?" Leo nodded.
"They've never allowed a mortal up there before- and they want Dan too?" Leo nodded again.
"What about Phoebe?"
"Don't ask me anymore questions. I know as much as you do." Paige and Piper frowned, and Dan felt himself get more nervous.
"I uh, I'll orb you and Phoebe." Paige said to Dan.
Piper stood up and let Leo put his arms around her and Wyatt. Paige knelt beside Phoebe, grasped her hand, and took Dan's hand in her other. They all disappeared in tiny blue orbs, their destination, the heavens.
