Hey, here's the next part of the story. Sorry it's VERY long; I was only going to add bits and pieces of the little bits of Give me a Sign, but when I started writing there were too many parts that needed Andy in them. I tried to make it like he could've been Bane all along in the show. You may notice that. Anyways, hope you like it!
Thanks everyone for the reviews, for both chapters!
PruelovesAndylovesPrue, yes Andy was given the power to fade by the Source of all Magic so he could travel through time and get around easily.
Peanut, thanks for reviewing! I thought you didn't like it anymore since a few people stopped reading since they don't like Darien. Great to have you reading again!
PS: Sorry I didn't update on Thursday. I couldn't get on the site after I put chapter 41 up.

"It's such a thrill killing your biggest foe."
"And she will live to know what that's like." The Source of all Magic faded in and sent The Source away from Prue with a large green lightning bolt. He then stood in front of Prue protectively eying the Source as he got back up from the ground.
"You old fool!" The Source bellowed as he pushed himself up from the ground.
Prue struggled to get up as her breathing regulated. She then pulled herself up from the ground and ran to the cage that held Andy.
"You okay?" She asked, kicking a stone away and setting him free.
"Am I okay?" Andy laughed, putting an emphasis on the "I". Pulling her into a tight embrace. But she quickly pulled away to free her sisters.
The four of them watched as the two types of Sources battled for several minutes, standing in awe until Darien broke the silence.
"Uh, did you guys forget about me or something?" Darien cut in still struggling to break loose.
Andy went over and began to help Darien as the sisters watched the mighty battle going on. Fire and green electricity bolts were flying everywhere surrounding the two.
Prue observed as Evil fought Neutral, the only other Source figure missing was good. But that would come in the future, with another generation.
"We have to help him." Prue stated as she looked at the two.
"I don't think that's a good idea after what he did to you last time, Prue." Piper said, clutching onto her sister's arm.
"She's right, Prue." Phoebe joined in.
"He's going through this battle for our family!" Prue argued, it was then she was interrupted by a large ear-piercing scream. They turned to see the Source of Magic flying through the air and landing at Andy's feet.
"This is destiny." The old man smiled up at his Chosen One.
It was then The Source realised who Andy was. He had heard of this new destiny, they would all be replaced. He would be the one to start it all.
"You're the one who's dying tonight." The Source stared blankly as he threw a fireball at Andy. The Source of all magic acted quickly as he took the fireball for him. Engulfing him in flames immediately.
Andy stared in shock as the kind old man vanished into nothing before him. It was then a green glow surrounded him as the man vanished.
"No!" The Source screamed, realising what had just happened. He then flamed out quickly leaving them all to wonder.
"Andy, what happened to you?" Phoebe asked as she studied his body to see if there was any difference.
"I'm not to sure." He responded, giving out his hand for Prue to take. "Let's just go home."
"You can go home, but I still stand for what I said before." Prue spat, crossing her arms over her chest. "You were almost killed again, and I told you to stay away."
Andy decided it was best not to explain everything right now. Plus they needed to be apart for a few more weeks for Darien to happen.
"Alright." He answered, fading them back, although they had no clue how they arrived. He decided to keep that a secret as well for now.
"This has been one weird day." Phoebe said as she went upstairs to rest.
"Definitely." Prue added as she gave Andy a cold stare before walking upstairs as well.
Piper quickly noticed Andy's discouraged look, and gave him a little pat on the shoulder. "She'll come around." She then proceeded up the stairs after her sisters.
"Now let's work on you." The now new Source of all Magic said as he and Darien faded away.
3 Weeks Later
Darien and Andy then appeared in front of the prison when Bane was being escorted out by the two demons.
"Garbage in, garbage out, huh?" Another guard said as he passed by the trio, bringing in another prisoner.
"Litvack sent you, didn't he?" Bane asked rhetorically as he elbowed a guard in the stomach, prompting the other to aim the weapon at them.
Darien went straight into action as he ran to protect Bane. Tackling the other demon to the ground as Andy handcuffed him.
"What's going on here?" Another guard yelled as he ran to the scene, seeing Darien on top of a struggling "officer" and Andy cuffing the man.
"This man was escaping," Andy said letting out a sigh as he got up from the ground. "And this guard was helping him." Andy responded, showing his badge to the new officer as he heard the demon behind him growl in defeat.
Andy and Darien eyed the three as the re-entered the prison before uttering a single word.
"Here goes nothing." Andy said as he faded into Bane. He took a moment to study his hands, and fell his face. " Did it work?" He asked, looking at Darien, who almost laughed.
"Yup, please don't screw this up though." Darien warned, "I like way I look, and so do the ladies." He joked, causing Andy to laugh.
"So you're sure you're okay with this, right?" Andy asked, changing someone's father was a complicated subject. He knew Darien had an attachment to Bane.
"Yes, Bane may have given me DNA, but you're my Dad." Darien smiled, looking up at Andy/Bane who looked just like his biological father, but inside he knew it was the sweet caring man who risked everything for him. "I want a respectable person to be my father, not someone who makes deals with demons."
"Alright." Andy smiled as his confidence in his task went up. "Let's go." He said, grabbing Darien's sleeve and fading away.
"So according to what Prue told me, and what I saw. Bane just came in and took her." Andy informed as he stormed in forgetting he has still dressed in his black dress pants and formal white shirt.
When he walked inside, his love was standing in the mirror taking a picture with her brand new camera. He watched as she walked up to the mirror, faking a smile and taking a picture. "Portrait of a dreamer." She smiled again. But Andy/Bane couldn't help but notice that there was something cold and blank behind her smile. She was hurting, since this was when she refused to see him for his safety.
"Hello, Prue." He said as a cloth full of chloroform seemed to be conjured into his hands as he grabbed her gently as he pressed the cloth to her face. As soon as he felt her body go limp, he lifted her into his arms and walked to Darien.
"They'll be calling Darryl and I soon, you need to morph into me and trick Darryl and the girls that you're me." Andy instructed as Prue's head rolled into his chest in her slumber.
"Okay…" Darien said, unsure of how to do this. Just then he magically faded into Andy. "Thanks." He said, smiling as he also studied his body.
"I'll see you in a few hours." Andy nodded in encouragement as he faded away. Darien simply ran out of view as he heard Piper and Phoebe's voices approaching.
Mariner's Bluff
Andy/Bane was standing behind Prue un-tying the cloth around her mouth ever so slowly. Prepared to hear a loud yell as soon as it was taken off.
"Don't scream." He said once the cloth was completely off.
"Why not?" Prue sighed in relief once the cloth was off but was still worried for her life.
"Well if you do, we won't be able to talk. Besides, it won't do much. The closest neighbour is about six miles away." Andy/Bane said with a grin.
"Then why not take off the blind fold. What are you afraid of?" Prue asked hoping he would take it off so she could use her powers to escape, and to see who this man was.
"Are you kidding? I've seen you use your powers before. On me!" He then considers the thought and decides to take off the blindfold. "All right, if you try anything, the blindfold goes back on."
"What do you want?" Prue said once the blindfold was off.
"Your help, to save my life." He lied, it was really the opposite way around, but she didn't need to know at the moment. He then walked around the chair, to kneel in front of her, to look her in the eyes. They had that vibrant strong glow that he loved about her. Something he hadn't seen since Darien had been killed.
"Yeah, well most people ask for it, they don't kidnap for it." Prue said trying to brush the hair out of her eyes.
"I'm not most people. Neither are you." He said as he slowly advanced closer to her. And noticing her discomfort, he lovingly brushed the hair out of her eyes.
"What makes you think that I'll help you?" Prue said with a huge smile. There was something about this mysterious man that reminded her of Andy. Even the way he was dressed reminded her of him.
"I don't. But without you and your sisters, I don't stand a chance against this particular demon." He informed, he was generally talking about the Source and Shax.
"Why would he bother? You're a mortal." Prue spat out, cocking her head back, trying to get a better view of her surroundings.
"I'm a mortal that knows about demons. He doesn't like that. Litvack, that's what they call him." Andy was trying to remember the details he picked up before.
" So where are we? Is this yours?" Prue asks looking around
" It was going to be before you came along, and cut me off from my dreams." He says giving her an accusing smile. He had read that in Bane's file, he had to try and act and talk like Bane. Although it would be hard acting like a man he loathed so much.
"You don't strike me as a dreamer." She stated, looking the man deep into his eyes where she saw the same crystal blue sparkle she saw in Andy's eyes.
"There's a lot about me you don't know." Bane said giving her yet another playful smile.
" There's a few things that you need to learn about me too." She said, dipping her head into an astral projection to warn her sisters. A few moments later she came out of it, gasping for air.
"I'm letting you go." He said suddenly looking depressed and hurt that she could not trust her, even in another body.
"Just like that?" Prue asked, unable to believe that he was all of a sudden letting her go.
"I never wanted to hurt you Prue, I only wanted your help. But you can't help me if you don't trust me. And you're in danger as long as you're here. " He said as he helped her to her feet.
Then suddenly, Litvack's servant appeared in the room and aimed the weapon at Andy/Bane and Prue. Bane ducks, and grabs Prue, pulling her down with him, which caused them to land in a pile of hardware tools. Litvack's servant then aimed the weapon again, but Prue saw it coming, and held out her hand to send the beam back his way. She then sends him flying out the window and he desperately scrambled away, not sure of what had just happened.
"Whoa." Prue said, then she noticed Bane breathing heavily. When she looks over she sees that while protecting her, he fell onto a knife, which gave him a nasty gash, but only skin tissue, on his lower abdomen.
"Told you I never wanted to hurt you." Andy/Bane said looking down towards his wound.
"You just saved my life." Prue said as she looked up at him in sympathy.
"You think you can trust me now?" Andy/Bane asked, giving his trademark grin, screwed over after a moment from pain.
"Here, let me help you." Prue said, aiding him onto the chair the she was being held hostage on moments before. She quickly took a few rags from the floor, and began tending the man's wound.
"P-Prue." Andy/Bane groaned in pain as she cleaned the wound with a cloth.
"If I'm going to clean the wound, then I have to stop the bleeding. I'm sorry." Prue said truthfully, smiling as his cute little groan.
"Do you even know what you're doing?" Andy/Bane asked, not that he minded the beautiful woman touching him, he had never once seen her truthfully tend to a large wound other than scrapes her sisters' would get when they were young.
"No. Not really, but right now I'm the only choice that you've got. So, just try and hold still." Prue said with a sympathetic smile.
"That's easy for you to say. You don't have a set of fingernails clawing into your body." He said trying to hold back the urge to scream in pain.
"Yeah, well I'm almost done." She says as she hands him a cloth. "Put this in your mouth or something."
"Forget about me. Go home." Andy/Bane ordered, he only wanted to help Darien, he never realised they would attack here.
"I told you, he's gone. Probably ran right back to Litvack or the Source." Prue said trying to find an excuse not to leave him.
"So now he knows about you too. All the more reason to leave." He was truly concerned for her. He was beginning to have extremely strong feelings for her.
"Well, as much as I would like to, I can't. Not until I know that you're okay. Besides, it's probably better just to stay put, you know, I mean now that we've been sighted, they'll expect for us to take off. Speaking of things that need to be taken off...you're um, pants." She says with a playful smile and takes a few steps back.
"Excuse me!" Andy/Bane asked, not too sure whether he should laugh or be embarrassed. But did like the thought of her seeing what's under there.
"Well, I need to get to the, um, wound." Prue said trying not to laugh.
Andy/Bane simply gave her a playful grin, wanting to of course.
"Okay, you know what? It's just going to get infected. So you can either take off your pants on your own, or I can always do it by force." Prue said laughing as Andy/Bane grumbled and stands up slowly dropping his pants, which makes Prue give a triumphant smile for winning.
"You're about to get what you dream of." Andy/Bane mumbled as he pulled her to his level. They just stood there, eyes locked together, unable to look away. She was lost in his eyes. He then pulled her into a deep passionate kiss, and as the kisses intensified, Prue pulled away.
"I'm sorry." She sighed, as his hands fell to her waist. This was too bizarre. Even his kisses were like Andy's. It had to be him.
"I'm not." Andy/Bane admitted, pulling her closer into another passionate kiss as he pulled her on top of him, letting his hand slide up her waist.
A few hours later, Darien/Andy arrived on the scene with the two sisters.
"Alright, now remember." Darien began. "No hurting him, I need him for later." Darien lied; he just didn't want the sisters to hurt him out of rage.
They three of them then entered the condo where all their jaws dropped to the floor.
"Oh." Piper began.
"My…" Phoebe added in shock.
"Good God!" Darien shouted as he covered his eyes. That was not the way he ever wanted to see his mother. To his surprise a moment later he appeared in Alcatraz. Then he landed back where he was standing a moment before.
