The Change
Chris sat on the couch in the attic again. He had been talking to the sisters but he got distracted with a dust particle. Which was floating over the wall he had just come though. He was scared, he didn't know if it was him or of it was Cat, it could have been both. He was just about to look away when the wall started to glow. He stood up.
"Chris what is it?" Phoebe asked. She looked at the wall and didn't see anything wrong with it.
"The portal." Chris said
The three sisters looked again and saw the war with out the portal on it.
Chris watched as he saw a figure come out of it. He recognized it, it was Cat, but something had come with her a dark shadow. He saw it and knew that it was the Woogeyman. Then it all disappeared, all of it, Cat, the portal, and the Woogeyman.
"Chris are you alright?" Piper asked
"I thought I just saw Cat." Chris said
"No, what did you mean the portal." Paige asked
"It was open." Chris said
"No Chris it wasn't." Piper said "Are you sure your okay?"
"Yeah." Chris said just as he was about to turn away the portal opened.
"Okay, now the portal is open." Phoebe said standing up from where she sat.
Wind wiped around the room.
"Cat." Chris said as he moved towards to portal. He stood in front of it just as a body was thrown through. Chris caught her but the force knocked them both to the ground.
"Hey, Chris, nice catch." Cat said weakly.
"The Woogey is coming" Chris warned.
Cat looked towards the portal just as the dark shadow came through. She raised her hand and it froze in place.
"Is that...?" Phoebe began.
"Yeah," said as she lay where she was.
"Are you okay?" Piper asked
"Tired, drained, and in pain." Cat said as she tried to get up. "But that is what happens when you find out something that the all powerful all jerk Wyatt does want you to know."
"What did you find out?" Chris asked
"Well lots for starters." Cat said
"Like?" Chris asked
"I found out why he turned." Cat said
"How?" Chris asked, who was still under Cat.
"Well, after seeing you get stabbed by Gideon, that is when it started, then his father killing everything he could get his hands on."
"What?" Chris asked
They heard footsteps on the stairs and Leo bust through the doorway.
"I heard a crush, it everything alright?" Leo asked
"Yes and no." Cat said as she again tried to sit up she managed.
"Cat?" Leo asked
"Yeah, it's me." Cat said
"You look like hell." Leo said
"Why thank you." Cat said
Chris was sitting up now and was slightly supporting Cat as she sat up.
"Leo, you have to promise me something." Cat said, "Or I will make you forget all about me and Chris here."
"Sure what?" Leo asked
"You have to promise me that you will not do after Barbus or any other demon, in order to take revenge for Chris."
"What are you talking about?"
"Here goes. Chris came back in the past." Cat began
"We already know this." Piper said
"No, let me finish." Cat said
"Okay." Phoebe said
"In our future Chris went back before, before This Chris came back, a different one came back from the future. I don't know how to explain it very well. When I was growing I heard you guys talking about a whitelight come back from the future to help you save Wyatt, but he never told you who he was. If I came back too, then I would probably make you forget who he was. Different times are happening at the same time."
"What does that mean?" Phoebe asked
"Well, the reason Chris and I can come to the present is because both our times are happening at the same time."
"That doesn't help." Phoebe said
"Well, the past, present, and future are happening at the same time. That is the only reason that we can travel through time. So there is a time when you are finding out that you are the Charmed Ones also a time when Wyatt was born, also when, Chris was born, also what we are talking about now. Then there is the stuff that happens in the future, and Wyatt getting pissed because Chris went through the portal, also when I went through. A being cannot be in two places at once. But because Chris and I aren't like our younger selves exactly we are able to be in the same time as our selves. It has to do with the powers we get when we grow up. Okay, remember when Chris was in the future and you wrote him a spell so he could get his powers back. To you, it was seconds before he showed up but for him is was minutes, or hours, I don't know exactly. When I sent Chris to the past, the last time. I was in the future for about three days. Chris was here for about what?"
"Two hours." Phoebe said
"Everything you do, in the past, is reflected in the future. When you wrote the spell, it was already in there for Chris, since Chris was in the future. So there are different us' in the different times, since we are already grown and now you see baby Chris and Big Chris together, you have the same person living at the same time. Are you starting to understand it?"
"Sort of." Paige said "So what you two did, coming back, your future selves had already come back before you were born, right?"
"Yes." Cat said
"I think I get it." Piper said. "All different times past, present, and future, are happening right now. So at this very moment, in a different time, we are becoming the Charmed Ones, Me, Prue, and Phoebe, but one set of our past selves have already lost Prue, and have met Paige, and are now the new Charmed Ones."
"Yes." Cat said.
"I still think it gives me a headache but I do understand it better." Phoebe said. "Why didn't you ever explain it that way when you would try to explain time travel to us, Leo?"
"I don't know."
"I'm glad. But I think I should go and take care of what I came here to do. Chris are you with me?" Cat asked as she stood up.
"Right behind you." Chris said as he walked toward the attic door.
The two walked out.
"Where are we going?" Chris asked
"We are going to see Wyatt." Cat said
"Why?" Chris asked
"We have to show him you aren't died and I have to take his memory of you dieing away, since that is the start of all of this mess." Cat answered
"So if I didn't ever come back, Wyatt would have been good?" Chris asked
"The world is a confusing thing, but with every group we come closer to what we want. Sometime Prue might not even be died, But we all live in our lives, we cannot change that. Maybe when your baby self grows up he wont have to come back. I am going to write a note in the book of shadows, in the past once we save Wyatt, it will warn them. It will appear after Wyatt was born, and about the time of the Titan's come again."
"So about the time that I come back."
"Yes"
"But what if the warning comes to soon. If they kill Gideon before you are concieved you wont be around. That would set us back some."
"Yes. I'll be there to watch over the family to make sure that evil Wyatt never comes to power again. After I am concieved I will tell them that Gideon is the mastermind behind the turning." Cat said.
"But..." Chris said
"I didn't say that." Cat said as they neared Wyatt's room, where he was playing.
"You were going to." Chris said
"Well, evil Wyatt, could have come from the other world, since evil you and evil me were fighting to make the world evil."
"Could that have been it?" Chris asked
"I don't know we could try to make it so it doesn't." Cat said
"Why don't you make it so no one can cross over, even a powerful person. You could make it so that the spell doesn't work, and make it so that no one can pass but you." Chris said
"It's worth a shot. But lets take care of Wyatt right now." Cat said as she turned into Wyatt's room.
"Cris." Wyatt said as he came up to him.
"Hey, buddy." Chris said, looking at Cat.
Wyatt looked at him funny, as if knowing that he should be died.
"Want to play a game?" Chris asked
Wyatt nodded his head.
"What do you want to play? Show me." Chris said
Wyatt ran across the room, and picked up some matchbox cars, and map, which was designed for the cars.
Chris sat down and Wyatt sat next to him. Wyatt looked up at Cat. When she came closer, he put up his shield. Cat took a step back and Wyatt lower his shield.
"What are you doing?" Chris asked
"He does, remember me?" Cat said
"Why?" Chris asked, "He met you before."
"But I have changed, and he can sense it." Cat said
"Try again, you have to get close to him to take the memory." Chris said
"I know." Cat said as she took a step closer, the shield when up. "But I don't want him to think that his shield can be put down."
"What?"
"When Gideon made it so he could go after Wyatt, he took away Wyatt's trust in that strangers or people with lots of power are friends. He has to recognize me before he will feel safe with me around."
"So you have to have his trust?" Chris asked
"Yeah." Cat said
The shield was still up, separating Cat from Chris and Wyatt. Chris stood up.
"Don't Chris." Cat said
"Why?"
"Just don't." Cat said. She was still looking into Wyatt's eyes, and Wyatt into Cat's.
The shield went down, and Cat took another step closer to him. The shield did not go up again.
"He trusts you now?" Chris asked
"I let him see into my mind, you cannot lie and cover stuff up on the inside of your mind, only the outside of it, the first layer." Cat said as she sat down beside Wyatt. Who was getting closer to her.
"He seems to like and trust you now." Chris said, taking his seat next to Cat.
"Seems to." Cat said.
Wyatt looked down at the cars in front of him and she was entered his mind. He didn't seem to notice her doing it. She took his bad memories of Gideon, and Barbus working together, she took his memories of Chris being stabbed, up until he arrived at the hospital to see his newborn brother born. She replaced then with stuff that he would normally see, Chris and him playing a game in the attic, and being at Darrel's house for safekeeping.
She came out of his mind. Wyatt was playing cars with Chris.
Chris looked at her. "Did you do it?" He asked
"Yes." Cat said slightly sad.
"Then why are you seeming like you want to cry?" Chris asked
"I saw you get stabbed, and I wasn't there to help you."
"You couldn't have helped me, you know that." Chris said. "I had to die to that the world went back to the rightful way. Leo had to kill Gideon, and have some much anger to do so, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten the world back and we would all have to be happy, and cheerful."
"I should have been there." Cat said
"You couldn't have." Chris said, and then looked to Wyatt. "Listen buddy I have to go now. Okay." Chris said as he stood up
Wyatt came over and gave him a hug on the legs. Then saw that Cat was standing too, and asked to he held, she picked him up and walked back to the attic with him.
"Did you guys do what you had to do?" Piper asked
"He doesn't remember a thing." Cat said "What he remembers is playing cars with Chris, and also being at Darrel's. I know that you guys aren't the best of friend right now, but it's better he doesn't have to worry about why he was left at the house alone. Darrel's wife was there with him and she was playing with him, like she usually does."
"Thank you." Piper said as she took the child from Cat's arms.
"So do you need a spell to go back?" Phoebe asked
"No. We just have to be in the same place as we left, and if we have changed the future then we will be sent back to our time." Cat said.
"So why did you guys come back up here?" Paige asked
"Well for one this, Wyatt was getting lonely, another, to say goodbye, and also to pick up what came through the portal with me." Cat said as she walked past the Charmed Ones, and picked up the frozen Woogeyman.
"Wait, when did your mother die? Maybe, you can save her?" Piper said
"My mother, my real mother has to die, as does my adopted family, otherwise the future wont play out right. I might not have gotten close to your family. I could be the one who turns the world evil, growing up with a demon, makes you evil usually. Also seeing good and evil live together, even if it is for love. Doesn't make it any better, which kind of blurred the line for me when I was younger. I need for my family die if you are ever going to be able to have the life we are supposed to be."
Chris and Cat headed towards their area's. After giving all of the Charmed Ones hugs.
"So when are we going back? I mean what time zone?"
"After I left." Cat said as she headed toward the basement.
Seconds later the two disappeared in front of the Charmed Ones, Leo, baby Chris, and baby Wyatt.
