This is the first story in the AU.
Disclaimer: Charmed and The Magnificent Seven don't belong to me and I don't make any money from this story.
Warnings: There's a death mentioned of an OMC (no graphic details) and a death of an OFC in one chapter (I'll fore-warn at the top of that chapter.) I wouldn't say it's very graphical, but I describe it a little bit.
Main Characters: Buck, Ezra.
AU Type: Charmed/Mag. 7 crossover although there are a few original ideas not from Charmed. All characters are either from Mag. 7 or are Originals created by me - there are no Charmed characters in this story. I love Charmed and Mag. 7 so decided to make an AU to cross the two universes into one. All the seven are adults in this story.
Closed AU until I've posted some back-stories to set up the characters' past.
Author Notes: I am English but have tried to use American words and spellings as much as possible.
Thanks to Michelle for getting me into Charmed and for all her support since we became M7 friends through a Yahoo Group.
Thanks to Wendy for pointing out a slight error about premonitions in Chapter 4, which I have since ammended.
Beta: I don't have a beta for this story, but have checked very thoroughly using spelling and grammar checkers plus reading it all through carefully.
I have tried to explain Charmed terminology for any non-Charmed fans who might read.

New Teaser – written 02/03/05 to replace Teaser about the children being rescued (Parts from old Teaser will be in relevant Family Past stories.)
The police car sped along the road, toward the camp-site. Inside the car were two blond men: Detective Josiah Sanchez and his younger brother, Chris Larabee. Chris was driving as he was better at driving at high speeds than Josiah. Josiah's usual partner had recently been killed, meaning that Josiah was currently partner-less. Chris had gone to the police-station and told Josiah that trouble was brewing at a private camp-site not too far away, so Josiah had taken Chris with him to help. Chris had actually seen a man getting killed there in his last premonition.
"Can't this thing go any faster?" asked Chris, clearly frustrated that the car couldn't go any faster than it already was doing.
"We'll get there in time, Brother," reassured Josiah, sounding more confident than he actually felt.
They finally arrived at the camp-site and parked. Both men quickly exited the car, not bothering to lock it up. They were in too much of a hurry.
They ran into the grounds and stared in dismay. The clothed body of a man lay on the ground, severely burned all over. Chris rushed over, hoping that somehow the man was still alive and could still be saved. Chris checked for a pulse, but found nothing. The blond hung his head sadly.
Josiah joined Chris and took the blond in his arms. "I'm so sorry, Chris," he said softly as Chris buried his face in Josiah's chest.
"We were meant to save him," muttered Chris, his voice muffled and sad.
"At least I can stop anyone discovering what really happened here," said Josiah. "If anyone checked this body, they'd discover that these burns weren't caused by anything normal."
"His son's going to be heart-broken."
"So is his wife, but we can't undo what's been done, Brother."
From a distance a man with dark-brown hair watched for a moment; then millions of little blue and white lights (called orbs) enveloped him, seeming to turn him into more of them, then all the lights disappeared up into the sky, and the man was gone.
