A/N. Once again, I'm so sorry, I'll catch up on all my review replies next chapter! This is a bit confusing!
The Fed:
Paige orbed into an alley, there she found the latest demon strangling an innocent man,
"hey, pick on someone your own size…even though I'm not your size," she told the evil being, throwing a potion and vanquishing him.
"Thanks for saving me, what was…?" before the innocent could finish his question a warlock blinked in and launched a fire ball at Paige, the demon's victim pushed the whitelighter-witch to the ground, out of the way of the flame.
"Now we're even," Paige stated, scrambling up from the ground and using her orb-deflection to send a fire ball back at the warlock, but he blinked out before it could get him.
"Give me a call sometime, I might need saving again," the innocent said with a flirtatious smile, handing Paige a business card and walking off down the alley, back into the street,
"Kyle Brody, federal agent," the youngest charmed one read, before making sure there was nobody around and orbing out.
She orbed into her office at Magic School to find Piper and Karis sitting at her desk,
"hey there my little mermaid," Paige said, taking Karis in a hug,
"she insisted on coming to visit you," Piper explained, grabbing her handbag and standing up,
"can you orb me?" she asked,
"sure," Paige replied, "you wanna go with auntie Piper?" she asked her daughter,
"yep," Karis nodded. Paige handed her daughter to Piper and psychokinetically-orbed them to the manor.
Meanwhile, Andy orbed in on the top of Golden Gate Bridge, where he found Erica, the psionic warlighter who had been part of helping Lora,
"why'd you call me?" he asked,
"I have some bad news, it's Lance, he's been captured by Cronus and Rhea, ever since the Elders created a barrier to stop them from using the orbs they stole to get up there, they've been trying to take warlighters and whitelighters, wanting them to orb the up there so they can kill the Elders, that's why they've got Lance and that's why they killed Vanity," she replied.
"Vanity can be replaced as an Elder, but the amount of warlighters is becoming less by the minute, there's never been enough, we need Lance" Andy said,
"exactly, so that's why we need to save him, and as one of the upper level warlighters the Elders think you're perfect for the job," Erica told him,
"but you're a warlighter too," he stated,
"that's why me and Jasmine are also going, with my psychic abilities, her elemental power and your heat touch we should be enough to get him out quickly, maybe without even having to battle the Titans," she explained, he nodded and they orbed out.
Later that same day, school had finished and Paige was about to orb home when she took Brody's card out of pocket and smiled, holding it in her hands and trying to sense him,
"that's strange," she said, "maybe my sensing power's just a bit off," after failing to track him down using her whitelighter ability which was more advanced because of her witch magic. She orbed home and went straight to the attic, using Kyle's card to scry for him, it circled over the map before dropping in one place,
"gotcha," she grinned, orbing out.
The whitelighter-witch orbed in by the front door of his apartment, she knocked but got quite a surprise when it creaked open,
"hello? Kyle? you said to give you a called some time and here I am," she called, when there was no reply curiosity got the better of the witch and she began looking around. When Paige got to the bedroom she found a small puddle of blood settling into the carpet,
"oh god," she gasped, running into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of spring water from the fridge, pouring it down the sink and going back into the bedroom, putting some of the blood in it, "I can use this to scry," she stated, orbing back to the manor.
Six month pregnant Piper walked upstairs to the attic, where she found Paige scrying,
"who ya looking for?" the molecular witch asked,
"Kyle," Paige replied,
"who?" Piper said,
"he saved me from a warlock this morning, and he gave me his card so I decided to go see him, y'know, say thanks, but he wasn't at his apartment and I found blood there instead," Paige informed her, showing her the blood she had dipped the crystal in.
"Are you sure it wasn't for something more than just a thank you?" Piper asked,
"he is good looking if that's what you mean, but I wouldn't…it's not right, at least not until I know where me and Glenn stand," she replied,
"about 500,000 miles apart," Piper quipped, Paige couldn't help but crack a small smile at her sister's comment.
"I found him," Paige said, standing up,
"wait, I'm coming with you, if there's a demon involved I can blow it up," Piper told her,
"who'll watch the kids?" Paige asked,
"there are other people in the house who can look after them ya know," Piper replied, slightly annoyed at how she'd become the one to watch the kids most of the time since she'd become pregnant,
"sorry," Paige said, orbing them to where she had scryed for Kyle.
Red orbs appeared in the air, forming Andy, Erica and another warlighter, Jasmine,
"where are we?" Andy asked, looking around at his gloomy surroundings,
"somewhere in the Dimension of Olympia," Erica replied.
"Why would the Titans be here? the gods could sense them at any minute and attack," Andy stated,
"the Titans aren't here, but Lance is, there's two reflector demons guarding him," Jasmine said, creating a ball of wind in her palm. They walked through the dark cove and stopped when they saw Lance chained up, with a demon standing either side of him, Jasmine threw her wind ball, blowing the demons backwards, then she vanquished them with flames which shot from her hands,
"that was easy, maybe too easy, but at least it was easy," Andy said, as they began unchaining Lance.
Phoebe and Cole drove up to the manor, stopping the car and getting out, as they were walking up to the front door a man jumped out from behind Piper's jeep and began firing a gun, one bullet just grazing past Cole's arm and into Phoebe's chest,
"my name is Kyle Brody, remember that was the man who killed your witch," the man told the demon/mortal, who shimmered Phoebe and himself out.
Cole shimmered into the manor with Phoebe in his arms,
"what happened?" Leo asked, as Cole lay Phoebe on the floor and the Elder ran to heal her,
"some agent shot her," Cole replied, watching as his best friend released a healing glow over the Angelic Seer's bullet wound.
"What was the agent's name?" Prue asked, her and Andy walked over to trio,
"urm…" the half-demon/half-mortal thought for a moment, "Brody…I think Kyle Brody," he told her,
"Paige," Prue murmured,
"what about Paige?" Piper asked, walking up behind the group,
"the federal agent who saved her life just nearly took Phoebe's," Andy replied.
"And I had a vision of him pointing a gun at Karis," Phoebe told them,
"well she's safe, she, Grace and Patsy are playing with their toys in the conservatory," Piper assured her family, they all walked through to the conservatory,
"where's Karis?" Prue asked her daughter,
"she orb," Grace replied, Patrice giggled.
"Why did she have to get a new power at a time like this?" Phoebe said,
"wait a minute, she'll have to orbed to Paige, and considering Kyle was just at outside here he won't be back at his apartment yet, so we'll be able to get in touch with Paige before he can get back there to shoot Karis," Cole stated,
"a bit confusing but it's worth a try," Prue said, before Andy orbed her and himself to Brody's apartment.
They orbed in to find Paige tied to a chair and Karis standing in the corner, whimpering, while Kyle aimed his gun towards her,
"don't!" Prue exclaimed, Kyle ignored her and before Prue could move him he pulled the trigger, releasing a bullet which sped towards Karis. Suddenly, orbs swirled in the air and formed two young women; Paige and Piper to be exact, Piper raised her hands and froze the bullet before it could reach Karis. Kyle glared at her before changing into a different person, a warlock, he waved his hand and the tied up Paige vanished, she had just been an illusion,
"wait a minute, if you're Piper then who's the one at the manor?" Prue asked her sister,
"my lover," the warlock explained, blinking out.
"This is all very confusing, I have a headache," Prue groaned, sitting down,
"that warlock's after Kyle, the real Kyle, and if he's just gone to the manor then we have a problem, cos that's where we took Kyle after we found him at the warlock's lair," Paige said, orbing out.
The witch orbed in and looked at the damage, the male warlock stood with 'Piper', grinning as she became a tall redhead,
"you won't get away with this," the whitelighter-witch promised, looking at her unconscious family, except for Patrice and Grace who were being protected by a dome of ice.
"I think we have, we tricked your sisters, your brothers-in-law, even your daughter," the male warlock said, pulling an athame from his belt, Paige was about to do something when Kyle jumped up from the floor and pushed the warlock to the ground, before he could stab anyone.
"We'll be back," the female warlock told them, as Kyle stood next to Paige,
"I don't think so," Piper said, when Andy orbed her, Karis and Prue in, the pregnant witch blew up the warlocks,
"so why would warlocks be after you?" Prue asked Kyle,
"cos I used to be one, when my parents were killed I fell in with the wrong crowd, I met these guys and they told me they could help get revenge get revenge on my parents killers, they gave me powers and I tracked them down, but when I discovered it was witches who killed my parents I backed out, knowing they would kill me first, so ever since then the warlocks have been trying to kill me, saying that I failed them by not killing the witches, I still have powers but I never use them," he replied.
"How come you saved us, saved me, if it was witches who killed your parents?" Paige asked,
"cos I get a good feeling from you, there's something different, but I've never stopped searching for the witches responsible, and when I find them I will kill them," he replied.
"But how come you didn't kill them then?" Leo asked,
"I was young, not strong enough to fight them, but I am now, and I know they're here in San Francisco, no one will stop me from getting them," Kyle said, leaving the manor, but not before grabbing his gun from the floor.
"What a confusing day," Prue yawned, carrying Grace upstairs with Andy, then Paige orbed upstairs with Karis, Leo orbed up with Patrice and Phoebe and Cole shimmered out,
"so I'm a nanny and a maid," Piper said, beginning to clear up the mess which all of the others had left her to clean up.
To be continued…
Next chapter- Kyle asks Paige out on a date, but Karis makes sure to remind them of Glenn.
'The Mommy Protector' should be up soon.
