Disclaimer: None of these characters are mine. They belong to ABC, TNT, the WB…hell, I don't even know who all I have to attribute this to.

A/N: I know, this is supposed to be a chapter, but I feel I should explain who people are for those that don't watch one show or the other. Characters, terms, ect. So, here ya go.

A/N: This is post-Cole on Charmed, and assuming Piper isn't pregnant yet, even though she should be. I don't want to have to explain the self-healing baby. On Alias, this is somewhere before the end of season 2, because I needed Kendall. And I didn't want to have to explain the two missing years.


ALIAS:

Characters:

Sydney Bristow: Super-spy, CIA girl. Kicks serious ass on a weekly basis.

Michael Vaughn: CIA guy, basically Syd's partner. They have a thing going on.

Jack Bristow: Syd's father, also CIA. They aren't very close; she only found out he was CIA when she joined up.

Kendall: the CIA director. "Ethically, he's an ass," but he seems to believe in some out there stuff, so I had to use him for this fic, as opposed to using Dixon, so you Alias fans know where we stand.

Weiss: Vaughn's buddy. You know how guys are.

Definitions/Explanations:

DSR: Department of Special Research. It basically looks into weird stuff.

Rambaldi: A centuries old prophet that, in one text complete with a drawing, predicted Sydney would wield the power to destroy the world. He shows up a lot, whenever the writers need someone to blame something weird on or run out of plot ideas.

CHARMED:

Characters:

Pru: She died at the hands of a demon, breaking the power of three essential to the Charmed Ones.

Piper: The oldest sister, now that Pru has died. She has the power to freeze time, and to blow things up.

Phoebe: The middle sister. She gets premonitions, and has the power to levitate. She also kicks serious ass on a weekly basis.

Paige: The long lost youngest sister. After Pru dies, she is discovered and completes the circle of three again. She was the result of an affair between their mother and her whitelighter, making her half whitelighter. She can orb, and she can orb objects to her by saying their name. (Ex, she says knife, and the knife orbs into her hand so that she can stab the currently attacking demon.)

Leo: Piper, Phoebe, and Paige's whitelighter. And Piper's husband.

Grams: Pru, Piper, and Phoebe lived with their grandmother after their mother died. She bound their powers to protect them until they were adults, when they unknowingly read a spell and unbound their powers. Even from the dead, Grams still manages on occasion to get her girls to do exactly what she wants.

The Source: I'm not sure if this is important or not yet, but this is the Source of all evil. A really powerful demon that wants to kill the Charmed Ones and is constantly sending demons after them.

Elders: A bunch of magic dudes that pretty much dictate what good magic is allowed to do. They're over the whitelighters, and they can seem the future, so the whitelighters come to them for guidance.

Cole: Again, I'm not sure if it's important yet. He's an old boyfriend of Phoebe's, former demon, half-human, stripped of his powers, married Phoebe, became the source, got vanquished, his human half allowed him to cheat death, he came back to life with stolen demonic powers, and now he's gone permanently. No, most of that will not be on the test.

Definitions/Explanations:

Orb: Kinda like dematerializing and rematerializing at the location of your choice. It's a whitelighter's power. Characterized by swirly blue lights.

Book of Shadows: A spell book passed down through generations of Haliwails. It also has all kinds of information of various demons, evil things, ect.

Levitate: Float. Come on, people, did I really need to explain that?

Premonition: Vision on the future.

Whitelighter: A Guardian Angel for witches. He's supposed to guide and protect his charges from evil.

Charges: Witches a whitelighter is supposed to protect.

Vanquishing Potion: A potion that kills a demon that's too powerful for just, say, Piper's blow-up power to kill. Some demons even require a spell before they die.
