Disclaimer: I do not own Thunderbirds or it's characters and I do not own Charmed or its characters or powers either. However, I wish I did own the Thunderbirds characters especially Virgil and I wish that I did have the Charmed ones powers, especially telekinesis and the power to freeze. Spells borrowed from Charmed Tv programme. Don't worry I'll give them back once I have finished so they can carry on fighting warlocks.
2027 Over the Pacific
"Man, that was one hard rescue mission. So many people had to be rescued. I think that I'll take a dip in the pool when we get home," Gordon said to Virgil.
"Oh, stop complaining, Gordon," Scott said over the radio. "We've had harder rescues than this; anyway, it will be late by the time we get home, too late to go swimming."
"Like that's ever stopped him before," Virgil interrupted.
Gordon gave Virgil an evil stare. " Scott's right; maybe it is too late for a swim; I am feeling a bit tired; perhaps after the debriefing, I'll go straight to bed."
"You shouldn't be tired at your age, that's Scott's job" Virgil made one last adjustment to his controls, then settled back in his seat and winked at Gordon "I mean he is getting old."
"Hey" Scott shouted. "I'm not that old. Anyway; Virg, you're not that far behind me in the "getting old" department." Scott paused while Gordon laughed at their banter. "I'm reaching the island now," Scott continued. "Switching frequency now to get clearance to land; speak to you later, guys."
"Ok Scott, see you soon," With that, Virgil closed the communications console and turned his concentration back to piloting Thunderbird 2.
Meanwhile in his Temple, the Hood was pondering on his next move.
Those fools at International Rescue. One day I'll get their secrets and that day will be soon. Nevertheless, I cannot do it on my own anymore. I need a more powerful force on my side.
An evil smile crossed the Hood's face.
My next plan will not fail me. International Rescue will fall and the world will be at my disposal.
2003 San Francisco
"The power of three will set us free, The power of three will set us free, The power of three will set us free." The three women chanted repeatedly.
Just as the last word was spoken, the demon exploded.
"Great." Paige sighed "Doesn't this job get any easier? That demon was hard to vanquish; he was just so fast." She turned to Piper. "Thank goodness for your power to freeze." She then looked down and sighed again. "Another item of clothing ruined by demon blood."
"Ah, stop complaining, Paige," Phoebe interjected. "You'll get used to the job and the stained clothes; just give it time."
Paige looked at Phoebe as they exited the dark alley onto the main street. "Don't get me wrong, guys. I love the craft; it's just I don't know maybe I'm just tired."
Piper turned to Paige. "Paige, you're young you shouldn't be tired."
"Yeah," Phoebe agreed. "Piper should be the one that's tired; I mean, she is older."
"Hey, I'm not that much older," Piper interrupted.
Phoebe smiled and continued with what she was saying. " I hadn't finished, Piper. I was going to say that you also have a baby to take care of and a husband that gets paged from the Elders at all hours of the night, so naturally you would be more tired"
"Ok, I'll let that "older" comment slide" Piper said while smiling. "Anyway, this demon hunting is far from over, we still have to find the priestess who sent that demon to us."
Paige looked disappointed. "I'm guessing that means that we're going to pull an all nighter."
"You guessed right," Piper answered.
Just as her sister spoke, Phoebe bumped into a man rushing to his car. " Oh, sorry," the gentleman said in a deep husky voice.
"No problem." Phoebe said with a smile.
The man got into his car and drove off. As soon as the car turned off at the end of the street, Phoebe noticed a wallet on the ground. She picked it up, opened it and looked at the ID; the wind lightly blew her Blondie brown hair, she closed her eyes and immediately she got a premonition.
"What is it?" Paige asked once Phoebe opened her eyes, "What did you see?"
"I'm not quite sure what it means" Phoebe answered. "I saw three men in blue, wearing different colour sashes; we were there, too, and we were all standing in front of a bald headed man with weird glowing eyes. It was like we were transfixed."
"What, another demon?" Piper asked.
"Maybe," Phoebe answered. "When we get home, we'll have to look him up in the Book of Shadows."
"And what about the three men?" Paige asked while tucking her red hair behind her ears.
Phoebe looked at her sisters. "I think I've just seen our next innocents." She then looked down at the ID. "Jeff Tracy," Phoebe read in a whisper.
