Disclaimer: I own nothing, well except the things you don't recognize from the series. Binxs he's mine, no touchy paws off the usual stuff. I'm not gonna repeat the previous explanation cause frankly I want to get this chapter posted and not have to fight with that. Now in this there is a scene in a hospital called LA Baptist don't own that either, frankly I've never been to LA or to CA for that matter so if there is a LA Baptist I don't own it, if there isn't I own this one. Well the title belongs to a friend who suggested usin it. Also I got a review asking what powers Pam had, she actually didn't have any powers, she was mortal like Victor; the Halliwell magic kinda skipped her and went right to Binxs because he's that Chosen One thing I explained earlier. But there is something about Max that isn't normal which you'll find out in later chapters. Well anyways please read and review, later!
***********************
"So the Battle at Gettysburg was marked as a significant turn around in the Civil War. It is mostly known for Lincoln's Gettysburg Address." Binxs tapped his pencil against his ear bored out of mind. Binxs loved history, but he knew all this stuff. Binxs loved too read and would read anything he could get his hands on, he had read a book on the Civil War and was hooked. "Gettysburg is also known as one of the Bloodiest Battles of the War, thousands of men on both sides Union and Confederate perished. The field in which the war was fought became a memorial with monuments depicting the skirmishes and those who perished." The teacher Mr. Brown turned too the blackboard and wrote the words 'Generals of the Civil War.' He put the chalk down and looked at the class of 4th graders half who looked half asleep and the other half semi interested. Mr. Brown liked too challenge the kids, even though the nine year olds wouldn't need most of the information he taught them until junior high and high school, he hoped that by teaching them things that they wouldn't normally learn in 4th grade, they would be ready for 5th and 6th grade when the time came "Ok can anyone tell me the two major generals?" he said looking around expectedly "come on guys, one simple question this was in the reading assignment yesterday," Binxs rolled his eyes and raised his hand knowing figuring if no one else was gonna answer he would. "Oh good someone's awake, I think."
"Robert E Lee was the General for the South and Ulysses S Grant who later became President was the General for the North."
"Well I'm glad someone was paying attention too me." Brown said shaking his head "unfortunately it was the one person who I know knows this stuff cold." Binxs's buddy Kenny looked at Binxs and grinned "now could someone besides Dan name 4 Battles of the Civil war?" The class all looked at each other with blank looks. "I figured as much, so that means homework time." The class groaned "oh don't even start guys." Brown said turning back too the board he wrote under Homework: 'look up as many battles of the Civil War as you can, name them, give their locations, and who won them.' The groan increased. And so did Brown's grin. "Ok so that assignment is do Wednesday if I get 23 pieces of paper with more then two battle information on them I'll forget about the test I was planning, if even one is missing test time kiddies. That's all everyone; recess time, when you come back its math time." Binxs picked up his book and notebook and put them under his arm. He started too leave when the teacher stopped him; "Dan can I talk too you for a sec."
"Sure Mr. Brown what's up?" Binxs said walking over too the desk.
"Is everything ok?"
"Yeah sure, why?"
"Its just you've seemed kind of quiet lately."
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive" Binxs said "I'm fine"
'Ok if you ever need too talk I'm here,"
"I know"
"You want to know a secrete?" Brown asked
"Sure,"
"When I was your age I grew up in a Home too."
"You did?"
"Scouts honor, so I know what you're going through trust me, it may seem hard but its worth it when you finally get a home."
"Did you get adopted?"
"Well sort of, my caseworker put in some over time and found my dad's brother and his wife. They had been trying too find me and they did they took me home, I went too school, graduated went on too college and got my bachelors in teaching, went on got my masters and walla I'm teaching you fourth grade midgets." He paused and looked at Binxs who gave a half grin "you're a good kid, your smart, funny, you get along with everyone, your family will get you I have a good feeling about this." He finished patting Binxs on the head.
"Thanks Mr. Brown" Binxs said
"Like I said if you ever want to talk you know where too find me."
"See ya" Binxs said and headed out of the room. Outside on the playground Binxs went to the swing set and sat down gently pushing himself back and forth. The whole ordeal in the kitchen was still bothering Binxs, it took a lot to scare him really, and for the first time in a long time he was very scared, because he had a feeling of dread wiping over him, like something was gonna happen to him. He suddenly wasn't like everyone else, he had something they didn't. Just outside of the playground fence, parked on the sidewalk, was a black Plymouth; inside sat two men in dark suits and sunglasses
"You better be right this time, I'm really getting sick of this little game;" the driver said
"I am very sure this time, he is here;"
"How in hell can you tell? We've been to eight different places where your hunches have been telling us and we haven't found the damn kid yet, is he really worth it?"
"Really worth it? All that power? That boy will be a great assist too us, however if we lose him to them he will eventually destroy all of us." The passenger waved his hand in front of him; time seemed to slow down, all the kids running on the playground slowed in slow-motion and turned a grey color. All the kids except for the one sitting on the swing set, alone. "He is here, its time we made our move," the passenger said and waved his hand once more and the scene returned to normal.
"Good seven years of hunting this kid is finally almost over;" Giving a sigh; Binxs stood up and started to walk back inside the building, when the sound of someone yelling to him caught bought his attention. He walked over to the fence that surrounded the playground. Two guys in black suits wearing dark sunglasses; one was leaning against the car looking at Binxs the other was in the driver seat of the car, a car that looked strangely familiarly. Binxs wasn't big on cars, the only cars he really paid any attention to were race cars, but for some reason, he knew this was a '90 Plymouth and Binxs was associating this car with fear and pain.
"How you doing kid?"
"Me?"
"Yeah you,"
"Fine,"
"Look kid I'm going to come clean with you, your feeling alone aren't you? Suddenly everything that you knew seems different now?" Binxs stared at the guy
"I don't know what your talking about, look recess is almost over I have math," Binxs said turning away from the fence.
"Would it make a difference if I said I knew your father?" Binxs stopped short in his tracks "yes your father, good man Max was very sorry about what happened to him and your mother."
"Sno big deal," Binxs said biting his bottom lip so hard he tasted blood in his mouth.
"How would you like a chance too get back at the people who took them from you?" Binxs slowly turned around
"What could I do? I'm just a kid; the cops never caught them;"
"No they didn't, but you have a gift boy, a gift that could help avenge your parent's death," the man paused and looked at his company in the car "I can teach you how to harness that gift you've been given use it for yourself no one else"
"What gift?" Binxs asked then he thought for a moment, the thing in the kitchen he had seen a picture in his head a picture that had come true.
"You have others son, others just waiting to be unlocked and harnessed. I can take you away from this place to a new and better place; a place that holds wondrous power, power that can grant your every wish and dream. Just come with us,' he reached his hand towards Binxs through the fence, looking back at the other kids Binxs cautiously stepped forward "that's it" the man coaxed Binxs touched the mans hand to shake it when another picture popped into his head. He saw his father standing near the same car that Binxs was looking at talking to the same guy Binxs was talking too, suddenly the guy in the car pulled out a gun and shot his father, seconds later Binxs mother came running out of the house screaming, the man turned the gun to her and shot her too. Binxs started breathing heavy he pulled his hand back staring at the guy. "What's wrong son?"
"You killed them, you killed my parents it was you!" The man lowered his sunglasses, his eyes where a solid black no pupils nothing. Binxs started to back away
"Yes, they where holding you back son, your true place isn't with them it is with us,"
"No!" Binxs shouted suddenly the man was thrown back into the car door,
"Ah the second power has emerged." Binxs stared at the guy as he started to stand up again. Binxs knew he had done that, but how he had done it that was the question. "You leave me with no choice boy," he reached into the car and pulled out a gun; Binxs recognized the gun it was the one he had seen in that picture in his mind. Binxs turned and started running as fast as he could, he heard the gun shot and felt the pain rip through his back then he felt no more.

"Ok this has got to be it," Piper said pulling into a parking spot at the Los Angels Children's Home.
"Who do you think he looks more like Pam or Max?" Phoebe asked as they locked the car and walked up the steps into the building; Prue shrugged
"He's probably a mix of the both of them,"
"Can I help you?" said a woman behind a desk
"Yes we where sent here from the Los Angles Social Service department, we where told our nephew, Dan Burmen was here?" Piper said the women smiled
"Ah Dan, he's very good boy very sweet, he's at school right now,"
"He's not here?'
"No we unfortunately do not have the facilities for the children to receive their educations here; they attend the local elementary school that is where he is right now. He should be back around 3 that should be what time the elementary school gets out." She paused and looked at Prue, Piper, and Phoebe "so you're his aunts?" Piper nodded
"His mother's sisters,"
"Please tell me you're here to take him? Prue, Piper, and Phoebe exchanged a look
"That was the plan," Phoebe said
"He's been here so long, he has plenty of friends, but a child needs more then friends they need a secure environment one that will love them and protect them."

***************************
The phone rang in the lobby of Children's Home around 12:00; the receptionist nearly dropped the phone. She turned to the Halliwell sisters
"You need to go to LA Baptist now, something has happened with Dan." The sisters exchanged a worried look and without looking back ran to the car.
