Thanks for all the reviews!… Lol… sorry, short A/N, but I'm very tired right now.
Underneath Alcatraz
"How did you get here?" Darien asked, noticing Prue had come along.
"You were touching me when you shimmered away." Prue said as she looked at the pain in his eyes. "Don't believe a thing Phoebe says, she's just upset or something."
"Well I think she's right." He said looking down towards his hand. "Mom, I killed a man with these hands."
"You had to, it was the only thing you could do to protect us." Prue reassured. "I would've done the same thing if he was pointing at one of my family members."
"I could've done something else just to stop him. I didn't have to kill him."
This made Prue think about how, if she was him, she would've just thrown him against a wall to knock him unconscious, but he had already shot Bane, and was about to shot her, so it may have been too late.
"You are no murderer, you are my son, and that's all that matters." Prue said, pulling him into another tight hug.
"You guys sure like hugging a lot." Darien smiled as he looked down at his mother, his trust coming back. He knew she had to love him, which satisfied him. "I'm guessing you and my real Dad won't be getting together..." He asked, thinking of Andy who she seemed to love as well.
"No, your Dad isn't the greatest guy, like my Dad, but Andy is perfect." Prue said, thinking about how lucky she was to have Andy sticking with her through the good times and the bad.
"If he isn't the greatest man, than why did he risk his life for you?" Darien asked, very curious... He had seen him take a bullet for her, and wasn't able to understand what he could've done.
"It's all in the past, he's getting better, but I love Andy." Prue stated, wanting to make that clear. "And because of all those bad thing he's done, he's ruined his life because now he's... supposed to be in jail."
"The place I rescued him from?"
"Yes, but because of all the bad he's done, that's where he fixes it." Prue explained.
"Is there a way to make me innocent, so the Source won't want me?" Darien asked, hoping for a normal life, where he didn't have to worry about demons attacking his family for him.
"Well Piper and I were thinking about making you an infant again, then you can have a normal life. Well as normal as life around here can be." She laughed, knowing he would still have to grow up with magic and everything. "Although it will be weird, after seeing you as an adult for so long."
"You mean I'll be helpless again?" He asked.
"Yes, but you will grow up good, and have a normal childhood, one where you don't loose it in a day." Prue said, as sorry filled her, thinking of how just because of magic, she couldn't even have a child harm free, and with a normal life.
"I guess I'll do it, if you want me to so bad." He answered, still unsure of how he could possibly leave them alone and unprotected against the Source.
"Thank you." Prue said, kissing his cheek lightly, before rubbing some dirt off it. "You're filthy, let's go back to the Manor, so you can shower while we get the potion."
At that moment, Darien placed an arm around his mother and shimmered back to the manor.
"Hey Phoebes…." Prue said as they shimmered in, starting Phoebe, causing her to drop a potion.
"You're lucky that I have more of that." She said pointing to the shattered glass, and spilt liquid. Darien quickly got to the ground and began to clean up the shattered glass with his hands.
"Hey, do you know where Andy is?" Prue asked, prompting Phoebe to point upstairs.
"Thanks." Prue responded as she quickly turned on her heals and began to run up the stairs.
"She really loves you." Phoebe said, looking down at Darien.
"I know." Darien smiled.
"If you do anything to hurt her." Phoebe said with a stern look.
"I would never do anything to hurt her." He assured her, before walking to the counter and grabbing a paper towel to clean the rest of the mess.
"Well I have a guest to see because of you and your father." Phoebe said as she picked up a tray fully of snacks, and two mugs of coffee and left the kitchen.
Prue's Room
Prue entered the room cautiously; unsure of what kind of mood Andy was in.
"Hey there." She said as she walked over to the bed, and sat next to him.
"What took you so long?" And asked, looking over at Prue, with sad little boy eyes.
"Darien accidentally shimmered me away, and we had a little talk." Prue said, as she moved closer to Andy in hopes for him to tell her exactly what was bothering him.
"So your love for Darien stays with him right… It's not going to Bane as well is it?" Andy asked, seeing the three of them together made them seem like a family, with him excluded.
"Of course it does. Yes I have a tiny odd love for Bane, but only because he's an innocent, and the father of my child that loves him very much." Prue said as she took Andy's hand in hers.
"You guys just seem like you're a nice little family together." Andy replied, letting his head fall down to look at the ground, trying to hide his pain.
"Andy, you're part of that family as well." Prue then turned his head with her hand, reverting his gaze back to her. "So are Piper, Phoebe and Leo… We are all a family, but you will have to accept that you are not the most important man in my life anymore."
Andy heart stopped at those words, until she continued.
"You and Darien are both tied, and that will never change." She said before she kissed him passionately. As their kisses grew more passionate, Andy began to lower her down to the bed, but after several moments, she stopped, and regained herself. "We can't, we have too much to do… After this is all over, I promise." She said as she got up from the bed, and fixed her hair as she left the room.
As she came down the stairs, she saw a strange dark haired man leaving the house, and he and Phoebe were obviously flirting.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow at noon." He said as he stepped out the door. Once the door was close, Prue made her way down the last few steps before asking a question.
"Who was that?" She asked, giving Phoebe a mischievous smile.
"A cute D.A here for Bane, and "The guy who helped him escape", that he has no idea who it is, but is sure we know him. Oh and my date for tomorrow." She beamed, as Prue lead her into the living room to talk some more.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Darien was throwing out the last remains of the mess when a man with blonde hair and green eyes blinked and snickered looking at Darien.
"Fool, how dare you help the good side!" He screamed as he ran through the doors into the living room.
Darien found it odd how someone would come in and scream something so random, so he shrugged it off until he heard screams come from the living room, when he immediately got to his feet and ran to help.
Andy, Bane, and Piper also heard this from upstairs, and the attic, and also ran down to help.
When Darien entered the room, he saw Phoebe laying on the floor unconscious, and Prue being sent flying across the room, crashing into the piano, causing it to shatter into pieces.
"You don't like being sent flying do you?" The mysterious blonde man said as he walked over to Prue, who began to cough up a bit of blood as she held her ribs, in attempts to get up from the rubble created.
Darien watched as the warlock approached his mother who attempted to get up from the ground, with all her new cuts and bruises from the impact and pieces of the shattered piano.
"Hey buddy, I'd get away from her if I were you." Piper said as she entered the room.
"I'll guide you." Darien said as he formed a fireball in his hand, a prepared for the kill.
The warlock simply looked at Darien and grinned, before blinking away.
"Bastard." Piper muttered as she ran over to Phoebe who was still sprawled out along the floor, from also being sent flying, but only hitting the wall.
"Oh God Prue." Andy gasped as he ran over to Prue and pulled her up from the rubble into his arms, causing her to wince in pain, and cough some more. Darien and Bane ran to he side, but remained a few feet away.
"Are you okay?" Piper asked from across the room, once ensuring Phoebe was okay.
"I'm fine." Prue answered back, resting her head on Andy's chest.
"I think Leo should heal her." Andy said, looking down at her injured body.
"No I'm fine." Prue responded.
"No, you could have internal bleeding." Piper said as she looked up and wondered why Leo always left right before they were attacked. "Leo!"
After several seconds of no orbing, she looked up curiously.
"Okay Prue has three men to care for her, and mine declines to show."
"Here I'll help you put Phoebe on the couch until she wakes up." Bane offered as he walked over to them, picked up Phoebe and carried her to the couch.
"I'll just go clean up some of the cuts." Prue said as she tried to lift herself up from the floor. Andy and Darien quickly helped lift her up casually as she stumbled to the stairs, where her legs gave way.
Andy quickly ran to her said, picked her up and began to carry her up the stairs.
Feeling helpless, Darien went into the kitchen to get some ice for Prue's bruises and ribs. Once in the kitchen, Rowland blinked in behind him.
"I heard you were betrayed again." He said sympathetically.
"Yes I was… By a warlock of all." Darien replied, as he turned to continue the conversation.
"I'm so sorry, but if you want your revenge, I saved him for you." Rowland said, catching Darien's full attention. "That's right. I know where he is, I wanted to kill him myself, but thought you'd want to even more."
"Where is he?" Darien asked as rage filled him.
"A street corner, hurting more innocent people." Rowland then waved his hand in front of Darien, giving him the exact location, before blinking away.
Alley
Rowland blinked into the alley, and quickly shape-shifted back into the blonde haired "warlock", before running out into the street, and causing a few car accidents, which then caused much road rage. It was then that Darien shimmered in, prompting Rowland to run into a building, making sure Darien could see him run into it, before he blinked back into the underworld.
Darien ran into the building, to find the blonde man waiting for an elevator.
"A powerful warlock waits for an elevator?" He asked as he threw a fireball straight at him, engulfing him in flames.
Underworld
Rowland blinked in front of the Source, still in the shape of the blonde man.
"Did it work?" The Source asked in his deep voice.
"Yes Sir." He answered as he shape-shifted back into his normal self, and bowed to the Source. "The Elders will be on full alert, now that he has killed his first innocent."
