Chapter 5- The Goddess's within (No I don't own charmed so bugger off! You
can't sue me!)
"LEO!" I hear her call, I feel a sudden surge of sympathy towards her, but he will come home, just not now,
The doors creak open, he has it, the urn of power. The power of the God's.
"Piper. . ." He cares for her, he really does,
"No," I feel like such a prick saying this but it has to be done,
"But she needs me." So did I, but you never turned up, I learned to live without you,
"Not as much as the rest of us do. You need to stay here, even afterwards, to coordinate." He has to stay up here, only for a little while, I understand that now, but if everything goes to plan then he won't stay for good. He'll be able to go back home,
"Alright. Then you should go otherwise the girls won't understand."
"Good luck." I orb out, time to be slaughtered by Piper, ah here I am, and what a surprise, she looks happy, not.
"YOU! Where's Leo?!" No wonder she cracked when he left, she really needs him, I promise that he'll come home,
"He's safe. For now." FINALLY! Paige is no longer frozen, those dwarves and Leprechauns are good, "Paige, hi." What else is there to say?
"Hi," hmm, I see similarities,
"Forget that. What do you mean for now?"
"What is this about us supposedly battling the Titans?" Hmm, bring on the hoards of questions, well that can be expected,
"You're about to find out." Hurry up Leo!
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ah the swirling lights, this has to mean Leo has done it, and about time too. Whoah! I'm so glad I don't have to wear those tunics, poor girls,
"That's what that means."
"What happened? What are we?"
"You're God's," Well I'll be the son of a goddess. Okay bad joke, but anyway,
"WE'RE WHAT?!" Whoah! Calm down Piper,
"You're Gods! That's how you're going to beat the Titans!" Please don't let her try to blow me up,
"You expect us to beat the Titans dressed like this? Maybe at a costume party." I can see I've earned my Mother's sense of taste in clothing, they do look stupid, but when in Rome, do as the Romans do, okay so they're Greek, that's beside the point,
"That's not a costume. That represents your new position and power." God I feel sorry for them,
"Power? Power's good. I like power." Hmm, she likes power, which clearly makes her the Goddess of War, after all the story's Phoebe told me about her it should be expected, "Why do I like power?"
"Because you are the goddess of war."
"Ah. Well, I guess that explains the pitch fork."
"It's not a pitch fork, it's a trident. Be careful, that's a formidable weapon." I have to admit I really don't see much of a difference between the two. . .they look very much the same.
"Right on. Who wants to fight?" Okay. . .keep her away from me, I don't think I trust her with that power,
"I'm a lover, not a fighter." Oh for the love of, how did that happen? Man she is so different back in this time,
"You're the goddess of love."
"Naturally. Well, then that must make me the goddess of sanity because I find this ridiculous." Well I have to admit the situation is strange, she must be the Goddess of Earth, they're the sane ones. . so why the hell is she the Goddess of Earth?
"Actually, Leo gave you dominion over the earth and all it's natural elements."
"Wait a minute, you're saying that Leo did this to us?"
"Chris? You never told us, do you have a girlfriend in the future?" My Aunt Phoebe who has raised me like a son for twenty years is hitting on me, I am officially disturbed for life. . .maybe if I ignore her? Please god. . .dam that statement won't help me,
"As you can see, all of you have drives and urges based on your powers. Don't let them distract you, alright? Stay focused, focused on the Titans."
"Hold it, pal. I don't know what kind of game you're running here, but Leo is not in the god-making business." He is now. . .
"How old are you, anyway Chris?" Please, leave me alone. . .
"The Elders forbid it. And if anything, Leo is a company man." Except for the fact that he married you and had a child with you.
"The Elders did forbid it. And guess what, they're dead. Most of them. Leo's in charge up there now and he's taken a huge risk that you three won't lose your humanity like the ancient Greeks... Whoa!" Get that trident away from me, please don't kill me!
"You killed the Elders. You could've prevented it. I say we castrate." Oh Christ, I know I'm not supposed to use my powers, but my force field would come in very handy right now,
"A little control here, ladies, please." I even said please!
"Can't we figure out something else to cut off?" On second thought. . .maybe castration wouldn't be so bad, that's it I'm orbing,
"I told you, stay focused. In my future, all the Elders were killed. That's why I came back to help Leo give you the power so this would never have to happen again." Well all except those who were chosen as Elders afterwards,
"Hey, guys, watch this." Okay, I'm glad I didn't get to know Paige now, she's scary, that was a nice piano!
"Put that thing down, you're gonna hurt someone." So far Piper is the only one who is retained sanity, it seems very ironic,
"I certainly hope so. Do you know the kind of damage this thing could do?"
"A lot." At this rate the Titans will never be defeated.
"Paige, make love, not, you know. There's no door love can't open, no wall love can't climb, not hurdle love can't. . ." Change somebody's hair colour to blonde and they go all ditzy, "Hurdle," Oh for the love of. . .
"This is Leo's strategy? Well, he must have lost it up there because these girls can't be seen in public, much less,"
" Ooh, that reminds me. I'm late for the bachelor auction. I'm gonna go pick up a guy or two, or twelve." That's it I'm orbing back to stop Leo from doing this, well she's gone, damn! Why can't I orb?! What the, I can't even orb from place to place! What the hell! AHH! What's with the pink mist when Phoebe teleports?
"Phoebe?" Oh she's gone, dammit,
"Ooh, that's a good idea. I'm gonna go get in some target practice with some demons. Watch out Titans." Oh God, there goes Paige, this is all going to hell. Ooh lightning, better make sure I'm nowhere near her when she teleports,
"I knew this was gonna happen." And now I can't orb, Piper is the only one who is keeping her head straight, "You gotta go after them Piper."
"Oh, no-no-no. This was your big plan, you clean up the mess." She would have made a typical mother. . .too bad she was never around, but I can't do this, she has to do this,
"No, your role is to provide balance. That's why you feel so grounded and in control." If she can't do this then we're completely screwed,
"Wow, Chris, that was actually pretty good. You almost sounded like a Whitelighter." Cut me some slack, I'm only half whitelighter and I think I'm doing a pretty dam good job "Too bad I already have one." Why does she hate me so much?" "And if he would like me to do something, he can come down and tell me himself. Do you hear that?" She looks up at the ceiling,
"You want Leo, hm? Then vanquish the Titans. If you can't do that, you're gonna find out what a world of darkness feels like. My world." The one you couldn't last in! The one you didn't last in! So you better get it right.
"LEO!" I hear her call, I feel a sudden surge of sympathy towards her, but he will come home, just not now,
The doors creak open, he has it, the urn of power. The power of the God's.
