This message is to someone who reviewed chapter 1: Chris's cover name when he first came back from the future was Chris Peterson, not Chris Perry. Try looking at the WB website and you'll see it there. And next time you want to yell at me and criticize me in a review, make sure you have the right facts to do it with.
The Third Son:
Chapter 2: Truth and Lies
"Because we didn't want you guys to know about Michael until Mom was pregnant with him," Wyatt sighed, looking down at the floor.
Paige looked up at Wyatt from the Book of Shadows. "Yeah, but if you would've told us about him, we could've prevented this from happening. Just like if Chris told us who he really was, we could've prevented Bianca from taking him. You guys are too tightlipped about the future," she said, looking back down at the book as Piper and Phoebe walked in.
Piper stared at Leo. "Leo, what are you doing?! Don't just stand there! Help!" she yelled, sitting next to Paige and looking at the book.
"I'm asking Wyatt questions so we have more information!" Leo defensively.
Piper looked up at him. "Then don't talk to me! Talk to Wyatt!" she yelled, then looked down at the book.
Leo groaned in frustration.
Phoebe walked over to Wyatt and put a hand on his shoulder. "Sweetie, do you know why that demon called Michael The Third Son?"
"Maybe because he's my third son?!" Piper half yelled, looking up at her.
"Well, there could be another reason, Piper," Paige said, looking over at her older sister. "I mean, we don't know anything about the future. And we sure don't know anything about Michael since he's not born yet and we just met future him, right before he got captured."
Wyatt got up and sat in a chair, staring at the ground. "Ever since you guys died, demons have been afraid of Michael, Chris and I become a new set of The Charmed Ones. The male version, that is. Anyway, we're supposed to be strong together than you three. Or Mom, Aunt Phoebe, and Aunt Prue were. We were supposed to invincible together. So all the demons that are still alive call us The First Son, The Second Son, and The Third Son. They go after Michael a lot because he's The Third Son. The weakest one. But we never got the chance to try our powers together."
"Why not?" Leo asked, sitting on the arm of the chair. Piper looked disapproving but didn't say anything, instead looking back down at the group.
"I'm gonna go scry for them," Phoebe said, walking out of the room.
"When we were little, Mom wanted us to have a normal life, so we could barely ever do magic. Dad tried to sway her mind but . . ."
"No luck?" Leo asked, chuckling.
Wyatt smiled and shook his head. "Anyway, after you four died, demons kept taking us away from each other, so we couldn't try it then. Then, after a few years, I left voluntarily. And now they got taken away from me again," Wyatt said, getting teary eyed.
Leo put a hand on Wyatt shoulder. "I promise we'll get them back, no matter what it takes. Okay?"
Wyatt looked up at him, smiled, and nodded.
Phoebe walked in and put the map on the coffee table, then ran back out and back in, carrying Chris's car keys. "Wherever Chris is, Michael will be," she said smiling, starting to scry.
"So, what're Michael's powers?" Paige said, handing the book over to Piper and sitting on the other arm of the chair.
"You guys are going to ruin the chair," Piper mumbled, looking down at the book.
"Well, then we can always fix it with a spell," Paige said matter-of-factly. Then she looked back at Wyatt.
"Paige, I don't think we need to know what powers Michael has," Piper said, flipping a page.
"Well, we might want to know if those two can get themselves back here by themselves or not," Paige said, looking over at her.
"She has a point," Phoebe said, looking up at Paige.
"Fine," Piper sighed. "Then get on with it."
"Well, he got premonitions from Aunt Phoebe."
Phoebe looked up at him, looking proud of herself, then looking back down at the map.
"Freezing from mom."
Piper smiled, still looking at the book.
"And he's telekinetic-"
"Big surprise there," Paige said, rolling her eyes. "All three of you are telekinetic."
Wyatt chuckled. "Yeah. I guess we are. Oh, and, of course he can orb, being half whitelighter."
Piper looked up at him. "That's it?"
"Well," Wyatt said, pausing for a second, apparently thinking something through. "He has another. But I don't know if he's mastered it yet."
"Well, what is it?" Leo asked, looking interested.
"He should be able to make himself invisible at will. The last time I saw him, which was about five years ago, he only became invisible when he was really scared. But that should've changed," Wyatt said quickly. "And anyone or anything he touches turns invisible, also."
"Is that all?" Phoebe asked, looking up at Wyatt again.
"Yeah, that's all!" Wyatt said, a bit too quickly.
"I don't understand why this isn't working!" Phoebe yelled, dropping the crystal and standing up quickly.
"And that demon isn't in the book," Piper said, closing The Book of Shadows and setting it down on the table.
"I just hope they're okay," Paige sighed, getting of the chair and sitting back down next to Piper.
"Yeah. So do I," Phoebe said, sitting next to Paige.
O.O
As soon as the demon had left the room he put Chris and Michael in, Michael quickly grabbed Chris, turning both of them invisible.
"Okay, Chris, orb us out of here now," Michael whispered, looking over at Chris.
"I can't! I already tried that, remember?!" Chris whispered in frustration. "Just use your other power!"
"I can't do that and be invisible at the same time, Chris!" Michael whispered back.
"Then I hope the demon doesn't get back anytime soon," Chris said, pulling away form Michael. He looked around. "You can stop being invisible anytime now."
Michael then became distinct, glaring at Chris. "You're no fun."
"I would just like to get out of here before we're killed!" Chris half yelled.
"Shut up or he'll hear you!" Michael whispered.
"Sorry," Chris said, sighing and rubbing his eyes.
"Chris, calm down. We'll get out of here. I promise," Michael said, putting a hand on Chris's shoulder.
"What're you doing?" Chris asked, smiling at Michael. "I'm supposed to be the big brother here, remember?"
Michael chuckled and took his hand off Chris. "Sorry," he said, smiling.
"Okay, back to business. Do what you got to do," Chris said, stepping closer to Michael.
"Do you think Wyatt told them about this power? Because you and I both know that they asked," Michael said, smirking.
"Yeah, I'm sure they did. But I know that Wyatt didn't tell them. He wouldn't tell them about this one. Mom would bind it, and it's an important power," Chris said looking around, holding onto Michael's arm.
"But it's fun," Michael said, smirking.
Chris looked at him. "It may be fun but it's dangerous," he said seriously. Then he cracked a smiled. "Remember the time you blew up the science lab in elementary? Luckily it was the science lab, and all the mortals thought someone had just mixed the wrong chemicals together. Mom nearly had a heart attack."
Michael smiled. "It was an accident."
"Your lucky Mom and Dad didn't bind that power then," Chris said, chuckling.
"They were going to. But luckily you and Wyatt managed to convince them that it really was a chemical mixing problem, not me," Michael said, remembering hearing Chris and Wyatt talking to Piper and Leo about it, sounding so convincing that Michael almost believed them that it wasn't his fault.
"Okay, the demon could be back any moment. Do what you gotta do, little brother," Chris said, closing his eyes.
Michael took a deep breath, concentrating on breaking this rock building down.
The next moment, the walls started cracking, and smoke was going everywhere.
"Remember, Chris, just as long as you stay close to me, you won't get hurt," Michael said, pulling Chris even closer.
"Just hurry up!" Chris yelled, starting to shake. 'I hate it when Michael has to result to this. I always think the ceiling going to fall on me and kill me,' Chris though, keeping his eyes closed tightly, not wanting to get dust in them.
Michael opened his eyes and looked around, smiling at his work. "You can open your eyes now, bro."
Chris opened his eyes slowly and looked around. "We were in the forest the whole time. Huh," he said, taking in his surroundings.
"Now can we orb out of here?" Michael asked.
"We should. I think there was a spell on that place or something. So we couldn't orb out, and so no one could detect us there. Luckily no living demon knows your power to make things break and explode. Though I have to say it comes in handy," Chris said, smiling at Michael.
Michael smiled and chuckled. "Yeah. I guess it does. C'mon. Let's go home," he said, orbing away.
"Sure. Don't even wait for me to answer. How nice," Chris said, orbing after him.
"You guys are okay!" Wyatt yelled in joy, hugging the two tightly.
Piper stared at Chris and Michael. "Why are you two covered in dust?"
Paige walked over and inspected them. "And pieces of rock?" she asked, picking a large piece of rock out of Chris's hair.
"Uh . . ." Chris said, looking over at Michael.
"Maybe we should tell them?" Wyatt suggested.
"I say we let them find out on their own," Michael said, smirking.
"Yeah, well, Mom found out when you blew up her toaster at age five. I don't think she wants to find out that way," Chris said, glancing over at Piper. "Remember that, Michael?"
"Actually, I do. It was funny," Michael said, chuckling.
"I promise that I won't think it's funny," Piper said, crossing her arms.
Michael rolled his eyes. "Fine. I'll tell you. But don't blame Wyatt for not telling you. Because Chris and I both know that you guys asked him about my powers, and I know that he was cool enough not to tell you about this one."
"And what one is that?" Leo asked, taking Wyatt's place in the chair.
"I can make things break and explode. Comes in handy, that's for sure," Michael said, dusting himself off a bit.
"You're vacuuming this floor," Piper said, staring at the mess he was making. "You're power, your responsibility."
"I'll vacuum," Chris said, rolling his eyes.
"I think we should bind that power, Piper," Leo said, looking over at Piper.
"Well, it looks like he has it under control. Plus, if he didn't have that power today, him and Chris would've been stuck wherever they were," Piper said, walking over to Chris and Michael and starting to dust them off.
"Good point," Leo said, nodding.
"Honey, you have something on your nose," Piper said, licking her finger and starting to rub Chris's nose with it.
"Mom. Ew," Chris said pushing her away gently.
"Well, fine then. I was just trying to help," Piper said, putting her hands on her hips.
"That's what showers are for," Chris said, orbing out.
"I agree," Michael said, orbing out after him.
"What about the carpet! Someone has to vacuum!" Piper yelled. She turned to Wyatt.
"I'm not vacuuming. It's not my fault," Wyatt said, backing up.
"You did lie to us about Michael's powers," Paige said pointedly.
"Yeah. That's true," Phoebe said, looking over at Paige. She smiled back at Wyatt. "Have fun, kiddo," she said before leaving the room, Paige following.
Wyatt looked over at Leo.
"Don't look at me. I'm not happy about you lie, either," Leo said, orbing out.
Piper smiled. "It's settled then," she said, walking out.
Wyatt thought for a moment, then smiled. He looked around to make sure no one was watching or listening, then whispered, "This mess Michael did make, so make it disappear so I can go have a shake." He smiled even wider as the dust disappeared.
"I heard that!" Piper and Leo both yelled from the kitchen.
"Well, it got rid of the mess, didn't it?" Wyatt asked, grabbing Chris's car keys and his jacket, heading out the door. "Shake time."
