Wyatt and Chris were sitting in Chris' bedroom later that night talking.

"Man, Chris, did you see Dad's face? You'd have thought he'd figure out that the only power more powerful than the Power of Three would be us? And maybe the cousins too, but geez, to faint?" Wyatt laughed at the memory of three hours earlier.

Chris snorted, "Yeah, who would've thought that an elder could faint?"

"Certainly not mom and the Aunts. I mean, you'd have thought they were the biggest bunch of worrywarts on the face of the planet."

"Umm, Wy, I hate to break it to you, but Mom IS the biggest worrywart on the face of the planet."

"She's not THAT bad Chris. She just gets spooked easily."

"Oh C'mon. After 25 years of vanquishing every nasty demon imaginable- and some unimaginable- you'd think she'd have nerves of steel. Instead, she's still trying to shove Chicken Noodle soup down our throats every time we sneeze. Besides, you got out of it easy. She was WAY more overprotective with me than you."

"Wah, wah… That probably happens when your kid dies and then is reborn, Chris. Get over it." Wyatt ducked the pillow that Chris threw at him with his telekinesis while Chris laughed.

"Oh… I see. So we're playing that game huh? How do you like this then?" Wyatt telekinetically stuck his pillowcase over Chris' head.

"Ugh.. man, that reeks. Have you washed that thing this decade?" Chris' face wrinkled up in disgust.

"Whatever. I'm a man. I smell like one. And besides, real men don't do laundry, they get their girl to do it for them" Wyatt grinned.

"Wy, I hope mom, Aunt Paige, Aunt Phoebe, or more especially Peyton never hear that. Peyton will dump the Pacific on your head for that comment."

"She is the little feminist isn't she? Honestly though, I was more concerned with Abby. She doesn't bother with being mad. She just gets even. Last time I pissed her off, she used her invisibility shield, then grabbed me and started making out with me in the middle of the quad. She was all over me. So just when I start to enjoy it and get into it- she walks away! So half the frickin' campus saw me standing there making out with air, and getting a hard on from it!"

Chris winced in sympathy. "And yet you're still marrying her."

"I'm a witch in love. She's not normally so bad. You just can't get her too mad."

"And here I thought she was sweet. Remind me not to piss her off. Maya's scary enough."

Wyatt stretched. "It's that quarter demon in Maya. Gives her a little bit of edge."

"Nah. The demon side has nothing to do with it. It's the female part that scares me. How the heck to figure them out. I mean, seriously. A week ago, she was yelling at me because I was clingy. But I talked to her earlier and now I'm too distant. What does she want from me? I'm only human for Christ's sake." Chris' voice was getting louder in frustration.

"Technically, you're ½ human, ¼ witch and ¼ elder."

"Thank you ever so much, Dr. Phil." Chris glared at his brother, accidentally knocking him over with his TK.

"Chris!" Wyatt sat up, annoyed.

"Sorry, sorry." Chris' cheeks were flushed in embarrassment.

"What is up with your powers, bro? They're all over the place. Why can't you control them like normal?" Wyatt asked, concerned. "We've got to get rid of this Sextet, and we can't do that if your powers are off."

"I know. It feels like I'm coming into a new power. But I can't tell you what that power is. It's frustrating. It feels weird, a lot like the empathy power did when I first got it. But different too. My slightest upset emotion, and my powers go wacko."

"Could you be getting telepathy? Or maybe like an ESP thing maybe?"

"I have no idea, Wy. That's what I'm trying to tell you!" This time an energy ball formed in his hand.

"Chris. Look. I think I know what your new power is! Energy balls, just like me!" Wyatt was excited. "Let's go show the family."

"Um. Ok." Chris was nervous. For some reason, energy balls just didn't feel right. But it had to be. How else was it explained?

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Mom, Dad, Aunt Paige, Aunt Phoebe, EVERYONE, c'mere! Chris has a new power!" Wyatt's voice rang out through the manor.

Leo orbed in with Piper, Phoebe and Preston. Paige orbed in with Paisley & Patience. Phyra orbed Patrick in with her. Peyton orbed in with Les & Jax.

"Wow… nobody in this family uses doors anymore, do they?" Chris wondered aloud.

Piper laughed. "So what's your new power, Chris?"

"Energy Balls" Wyatt answered for him.

"Hey, no fair! Mom, how come Wyatt & Chris get all the good powers?" Patience complained.

A dark purple skinned demon dressed all in black flamed in. "Prepare to die, Halliwell."

He pulled up a fireball and went to aim it at Chris. A fireball formed in Chris' own hand, and he threw it, engulfing the demon in flames.

"I think it's safe to say my new power isn't energy balls."
