A Destiny To Fulfill

Summary: Set after "It's a bad bad world". Chris died, but he is sent back to fulfill his destiny to save Wyatt (Gideon wasn't the one who turned him in my story). Will he be able to make everything alright?


Chapter 9: Is the future save?

"Leo! Heal him!" Piper yelled when she saw Chris taking his head between his hands and shaking over his whole body.

Leo quickly hold his hands over his sons head and tried to heal him but nothing happened. "I can't. He's not hurt" he said and took his hands away again.

"Not hurt?" Piper shouted furiously. "Just look at him!"

"Mom…" Chris gasped suddenly.

Piper quickly took his hands in hers and looked at him in fear. "Honey what's wrong?"

"Wyatt" Chris said while he pulled his hands out of his mothers and brought them again to his head.

Everyone in the room was in utter shock. They couldn't believe that Wyatt seemed to do this. How could he hurt his own brother like this? Pipers eyes watered up while she tried to concentrate on finding a way to help Chris instead of thinking about what would become of her oldest child.

"Maybe we should go back to the cave and see if Wyatt's still there" Phoebe suggested.

Piper nodded slightly. "Okay, but…"

"We'll do it alone" Paige said quickly when she realized that Piper wouldn't be able to fight her own child. But would she be able to fight her nephew? Putting this thought away she handed baby Chris over to Piper and grabbed Phoebes hand to orb back to Kivans cave.


Wyatt was still on the ground and tried hard to fight against everything that was suddenly coming to his mind. He could see his whole family on birthday parties, having dinner together, laughing about a spell that has backfired and turned Paige into a speaking goose, spending Christmas together and a lot of other things. But most important he could see himself being with them and enjoying every event.

He could also see his younger brother. In one scene they were both at a soccer game and in an other they were vanquishing together the new source. But Wyatt couldn't understand why he was seeing all this things. That all has never happened. His mother was even alive after his sixteenth birthday and his father was spending time with both Chris and him. But in the past Leo had always just came to be with him, but never with his brother.

He didn't even noticed that Paige and Phoebe orbed in front of him. They didn't believed their eyes as they saw Wyatt in the same state as his brother. "Okay what the hell is going on here?" Paige asked confused. "I thought Wyatt was doing this not suffering like Chris."

"I don't know" Phoebe answered not less confused than her sister. She hesitately knelt down beside her nephew and touched his shoulder. Suddenly she was channeling so much different emotions that she almost fainted. There was anger, confusion, fear and also a bit love coming from Wyatt.

"Phoebe?" Paige asked uneasily when she saw her sister tremble.

"He's so much different than a few minutes ago" Phoebe said. "Wyatt?"

Wyatt heard her but couldn't answer. There were still to many images flowing through his mind. He couldn't take all of this in any longer. Finally he fell on his side and lost his consciousness.


At the same time Chris also fainted and Leo quickly picked him up from the floor and lay him back onto the couch. "What's happening with him?" Piper asked but Leo couldn't even answer because Phoebe and Paige orbed back into the attic. But they weren't alone. Lying next to their feets was Wyatt.

Even if Piper had seen how evil Wyatt seemed to be she couldn't help but started to worry about him too. After all he was her son. "What happened?" she asked her sisters but didn't left Chris' side.

Paige shrugged and went over to them. "We don't know. When we arrived in the cave he had been in the same state as Chris and then he just fainted."

"But why?"

"Maybe you should ask the elders what's going on" Phoebe said to her brother in law. Leo nodded and wanted to orb up there but then suddenly Chris let out a moan and sat up straight.

"Chris!" Piper exclaimed.

Chris winced. "Please don't yell. I have a great headache."

"Err… guys!" Phoebe said and pointed down at her feet where Wyatt was also waking up.

When Chris saw his brother his headache was only getting bigger. He remembered so much different things that had to do with him. There were memorys about how Wyatt sent him several times flying across rooms but he could also remember how his brother exlaimed loudly "Happy birthday!" while he dragged Chris into P3 where his friends and family were waiting for him. Totally confused he put his head again into his hands and tried to make some sense of all the things he remembered.

Wyatt wasn't dealing any better. "What the hell is going on here?" he then managed to yell at the sisters and Leo.

"You asking us?" Paige asked a bit annoyed. This day had been already long enough. "I thought you would know."

"I don't!" Wyatt yelled again.

"Wyatt stop" Chris said now and stood up from the couch. Leo and Piper watched slightly worried how he went over to his older brother and knelt beside him. "Do you also remember all this weird stuff?" he asked hesitately not really comfortable around his brother yet.

Wyatt just looked at him for a second before he orbed away. Chris was stunned for a moment but then a big smile came across his face and he jumped to his feet and exclaimed happily "We did it!"

"We did what?" Piper asked confused.

"We saved Wyatt" Chris answered excited.

Piper looked quickly over to the playpen where her sons were playing together with a teddy. Then she turned back to her grown-up second child and asked uneasily "How do you know?"

"He orbed" Leo answered instead of Chris. "Earlier today he flamed and now he orbed."

Chris nodded. "Exactly. And I can remember all the things from the changed timeline…" he trailed of when he suddenly realized something. In one of his new memorys he could see his mother smiling happily while she gave Chris the keys for his first car. And this had happened on his eightteenth birthday. He quickly walked over to her and hugged her tightly while a single tear of happiness ran down his cheek. "Mom I love you so much" he whispered.

Piper was surprised at Chris' sudden emotional act but hugged him back. "I love you too – but could you please explain it again what just happened because I doesn't really get it."

Chris moved away from her and wanted to explain it again but then he heard Wyatt calling his name. He sounded a bit scared. "Err… I'll explain it later okay?" he said quickly. "I'll be right back" he added and orbed away to his brother.


When Chris appeared on his brothers side he could see that they were in the underworld. He quickly looked down at Wyatt who was sitting on the ground and knelt beside him. "Let's go somewhere else okay?" he asked but didn't waited for an answer. He just grabbed his brothers arm and orbed them on the Golden Gate Bridge.

"What the hell is going on here?" Wyatt asked immediately and backed away from his brother. Chris couldn't help but had to laugh slightly about this. In the past Wyatt had never backed away from him, it has always been the other way around.

"Answer me!" Wyatt yelled suddenly and made a treatening step back into Chris' direction.

"Oh oh, the scary side of you is shining through again" Chris joked but regretted it a second later when Wyatt grabbed him by his collar and banged him against a metal beam.

"You tell me what's happening here or I'll kill you on the spot" Wyatt warned and formed an energy ball in his right hand.

Chris sighed and rolled his eyes. "Calm down. You're good now. You can't just go around and hunt me down any longer."

"Wanna bet?" Wyatt asked dangerously but he knew that Chris was right. Something had changed. He couldn't stand the thought that he could hurt his brother. Quickly he let the energy ball fade away and stepped back again from Chris. "Why?" he asked lowly while he looked down at the water and tried again to shake off the new memorys that were coming to his mind.

"Well we changed the future" Chris answered but corrected himself immediately "Actually you changed it."

"What?" Wyatt asked confused.

"It seems like Kivan was the one who would have turned you evil and by killing him you changed everything" Chris explained and then he grined brightly. "It's somehow funny. The whole last one and half year I was looking for the demon and now it was you who killed him and saved the future."

Wyatt still couldn't believe it. "I destroyed my whole future by myself?"

Chris shook his head. "No – you saved it."

Wyatt looked at him and suddenly he could again remember something from the changed timeline. He saw himself at the age of ten lying on the ground with a darklighter arrow in his shoulder. Then his brother came to his side, pulled the arrow out and healed him. "It seems like you're powers are better now" Wyatt said and caused Chris to look at him confused.

"What are you talking about?" he asked curiously.

"You can heal" Wyatt answered with a small smile. "Dad teached you when you were eight."

Chris was surprised for a moment but then he could remember it himself. Leo had spent three days with the try to teach him how to heal. But he hadn't managed it until Wyatt had been shot by a darklighter and Chris was the only one who had been around. His dad had been so proud of him when Wyatt had told Leo what he had done. "I have to admit this future is a lot better than the one we came from" Chris stated and smiled while he remembered other occasions where his dad had spent time with him.

Wyatt didn't respond. The new thoughts and feelings he had were still overwhelming. He hadn't felt like this for almost twenty years. He felt good. "But what am I going to do now?" he then asked a bit lost.

Chris put a hand on his shoulder. It was so great that he was able to do this without getting Wyatt mad with it. "We go back to the manor and there we'll first have some major explaining to do I think."

"But…" Wyatt said uneasily. "They know that I'm evil. They won't want me to be there."

"Wyatt you're not evil" Chris said. "You're good now."

"No I'm not!" Wyatt yelled.

Chris sighed frustrated. "Yes you are! And you better get used to it!" he then yelled back.

Wyatt looked at his brother stunned. Chris had always managed to annoy him with his never stopping talking back but now he wasn't angry at him. Maybe he really had to get used to his new life. But he was still not sure if this would be so easy like Chris seemed to think. "Are you sure they…"

"Yes I'm sure" Chris cut him off. "Come on." He wanted to orb back to the manor but Wyatt quickly grabbed his arm to hold him back.

"Wait. What about you?" Wyatt asked uneasily.

Chris frowned. "What do you mean?"

Wyatt swallowed before he answered "Well I mean all the things I did to you in the past…"

Again Chris didn't let him finish. "Don't worry. That wasn't really you."

"Of course" Wyatt contradicted. "I can remember all of it very clear."

"Me too" Chris admitted. "But you have a second chance Wyatt. We both have."

"But…"

"No buts" Chris said and smiled. He hadn't seen his brother like this in his whole life. He seemed so unsecure and even a bit scared. "We're going back to the manor now and there we'll explain everything to mom, dad and the aunts. Got it?"

Wyatt hesitated a second then he answered "Got it."

Chris smiled again and orbed away with his brother.

TBC… (So Wyatt's save, but what will happen to Chris now that he has fulfilled his destiny?)
