Disclaimer: I don't own seaQuest or Charmed; someone else does. Plus I wouldn't know what to do with them even if I owned them.

I should warn you that this story has not been beta tested yet. So I'm sorry ahead of time for all the mistakes.

Thanks to all who reviewed. I really appreciated it.


Lucas stared at the grave. A slight breeze blew hair in his eyes. He didn't bother to move it away. Instead, he sat down in front of the tombstone and began to talk.

"Hi Andy. I know it's been a long time since I last visited, but I've been busy. I'm no longer at school, but on a submarine called seaQuest. The people there are really nice. I've even gotten close to a couple of them. There's this guy, Ben Krieg that treats me like you did. We get into a lot trouble, not too serious, just fun stuff. Dad ignores me anyway. He's the one that sent me there. Don't get angry. It was for the best. I kinda like it there. Capt. Bridger treats me like I'm his son. He had a son, Robert, but he died. He also had a wife, but she died too. He really listens to me and sometimes I pretend that he is my father. Then again, I used to do that with you and Prue. Prue would have been a cool mom.

"Did you know that Piper now has two sons? I thought the Halliwell line only borne females, but that has changed. I'm actually the godfather of Chris, the youngest. Piper and Leo are going to make it official soon. I'm going to move in with them…" Lucas told the grave. He could feel Andy's present across from him. He looked down.

"I know what you're gonna say. Why am I going to leave seaQuest when I like being there? To simply put it I'm a teenager. I want to have a somewhat normal life. If I continue to live on seaQuest then I'm never gotta get the chance to do the things a normal teenager does. This is supposedly the best years of my life and I don't wanta to spend it where I can't do anything. I have the rest of my life to be an adult and do adult things. I'm a kid now, not an adult!" By this time, he was yelling.


Barbas stood not far from him. Listening to the whole thing. He couldn't help, but feel sorry for the kid. Sure, he was going to kill him, but to have a terrible life still was horrible. He dealt with fears and knew how to handle them, but he also knew anger. It could eat you alive or help you do great things. An idea came to him. If he couldn't kill Lucas and the Halliwell sisters then he could always ruin their family. He smiled to himself. It would be a great secondary plan, but it was almost time to start the first one.
"Captain could I have talk with you." Lt. Ben Krieg asked running to catch up with him. "It's important."

It was later in the afternoon. seaQuest was heading toward the colonies and Capt. Bridger was on his way to the bridge.

"Yes Lt." Capt. Bridger said.

"Where's Lucas? I went to ask him something and he's not in his quarters, the labs nor the moonpool." Ben said in a worry tone,

"He has some family that nobody knows about and has decided to stay with them." Capt. Bridger told him.

"How come he didn't say good bye?" Ben asked looking sad. He thought he and Lucas were close, but now it didn't feel that way.

"He emailed me a good bye. I haven't spoken to him since he left for shore leave. I don't even know why he left." Capt. Bridger told him.

"I haven't checked my email yet. Maybe he emailed a good bye letter." Ben said.

"Check your email now. Maybe he told you something that he didn't tell me." Capt. Bridger said.

"But I have to go on my shift now." Ben said.

"This is more important. We need to make sure that Lucas is okay. Lets go to my office." Capt. Bridger said heading toward his office.

This had to be important Ben couldn't but help think. The Captain would never let him be late for a shift if it wasn't.

When they reached the office, Ben went straight to the computer and logged onto his account.

"There's an email from Lucas."

Captain Bridger ignored the other messages that Ben had received. He really didn't want to know.

Hey Ben,

I have decided to leave. Something is missing in my life. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but there is something. I just have this feeling that something is going on with me and it's worrying me. Don't worry about me. I'm going to be fine. I'm going to stay with family until I can find what it is.

It's you who I'm really worried about. I have left some things in place just in case you get into some trouble. As for what it is you'll have to guess. Don't get in any trouble and I'll try to do the same.

Have fun,

Lucas

PS: Don't tell anyone about this, but I'm going to be keeping track of seaQuest's computers. I don't know when they are going to find a replacement for me, so until then I'll be watching them.

Ben and Capt. Bridger were quiet.

"I guess that explains some of it." Ben finally said breaking the silence.

"I'm still worry." Capt. Bridger said. Then a thought hit him. First, he lost Robert then Carol and now he was going to lose Lucas too. Well, he wasn't going to lose him without a fight.

"Lt O'Neill watch the computer system. If anyone enters it track it." Capt. Bridger ordered through his PALS.

"Yes sir." O'Neill replied.

"We'll find him sir. But what are we going to do once we find him?" Ben said.

"That is where Dr. Westphalen comes in. She'll know how to help him." Capt. Bridger said leaving. "You better head to the bridge. Don't let this leak yet. Hopefully by next week he'll be back."


Lucas sat quietly looking at the grass. He couldn't believe he yelled at Andy, well, not exactly at Andy. Lucas couldn't help be feel that something bigger was bothering him.

"I'm sorry Andy. Look I don't know what has come over me." Lucas said getting up. "I better go. I promise to come tomorrow."

It was time to attack.


Another chapter should come soon. Please review.
