CHAPTER VII: Discoveries.

Manor's Attic.

Piper sat down besides Leo and lovingly ran the back of her hand through C.J's cheek.

"How are you doing, sweetie?" She asked.

Chris smiled at her sadly. "Fine, mom!" He said in his best " I am great and nothing ever is going to affect me so don't worry about me, tone".

And then… Piper saw the look she had learnt to spot so well and dread so much in Chris and C.J, the "There is something I know I should be telling you, but I don't want to worry you, so I am not going to say anything and handle it all myself" look, and one more time she HATED whatever gene they had transmit to the kid that made them both be like that.

"Spit it out, mister!" She commanded.

"Uh?" C.J looked at her confused.

"What you are hiding…do you and Chris honestly think that I can't read in those jade eyes of yours when you are hiding something? Specially, considering that whenever any of you hide something you always end up involved in a kamikaze mission!" Piper said "So spit it out!"

"But mom…"

"No mom, mister…I MIGHT allow Chris once in a while to decide if he can handle things on his own… but you are 16, you can't…so what is it?

"It's just a feeling… I don't even know if it's really something!" He said sheepishly "I might be wrong."

"Quit stalling, Christopher. SPEAK…and then we'll decide, ok?" Piper looked at him meaningfully.

"Well…for the record I said it was nothing and that it didn't make any sense!"

'CHRISTOPHER!" It was Leo this time.

"Ok, ok…when I was at Paige's office today, I suddenly felt really, really and I mean seriously sick for like a second…" he was interrupted his father running to heal him and his mother's fussing. "I AM FINEE!" He yelled seriously pissed getting away from their touch. "CAN you just LISTEN instead of acting as over-reactive, insane parents? No wonder why I never tell you about stuff like this!"

Piper and Leo sat down and probably thought how every day he acted more as his neurotic older version; but listened, mainly because they didn't have a choice.

"Anyway, as I was saying it was FOR A SECOND, and then I felt fine… and since I was worried about Wy… I pushed that out of my mind; but now… I was thinking about it and there is this nagging thing in my head that is telling me that Chris is hurt, BAD." He said worried. "I know it's ridiculous…" he said shyly ready to have to defend himself from whatever he thought his parents were going to say.

But still, since C.J was the only one that didn't trust his abilities and judgments and was an insane perfectionist with low self esteem, the thoughts that his family members were going to refute his gut feelings were just in his mind, they weren't real.

"It's not ridiculous, C.J! I mean…you have a special connection with him… a greater connection than anybody else, he IS you, technically! You even have all his memories…" Leo told his son. "Do you think the pain you felt was his?" He asked seriously worried.

C.J wanted to kill himself, he could see the insanely worried expression in his parents face; and it was ridiculous, he HAD to be wrong… Chris HAD to be ok. Why would he feel it if Chris was hurt? It wasn't his power… Still…"He IS you, technically"… his father's voice dinned in his head.

"I could be wrong, dad. I don't know. I never felt anything he felt before!" C.J tried to find a flaw to his theory.

"He has never been seriously hurt since he was made a Whitelighter and brought back to life! He was hit by a darklight arrow twice and both of the times your dad or Wyatt were there to heal him right away, and you did feel something when he got shot…remember you told me you thought you felt something sting you when he got shot?" Piper asked him gently.

"But it was barely anything…I might had been daydreaming it or something." Now C.J was trying to make them tell him he was wrong. He didn't want Chris to be seriously hurt.

"And I remember when the Ryionar stabbed you, remember?" Piper asked, her eyes still fuming remembering how a few months ago her youngest had gone to the underworld alone, without telling anyone and got stabbed by an upper level demon; He had barely made it.

C.J nodded, of course he remembered he had been grounded for a month and not allowed to go near the book of shadows for almost that long.

"Well… Chris was beside me and he BENT down in pain for like a second and then he pretended it was nothing…then we got caught up in saving you and I forgot about it… but it would make sense! Can you sense him?" Piper asked worried.

"No…but Chris' favorite hang out is the underworld…you can NEVER sense him!"

"CHRISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" Piper yelled "CHRISTOPHER PERRY HALLIWELL…DROP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND GET YOUR BUTT HERE NOW" after a few seconds "IT'S AN ORDER! OR YOUR SWEAR YOU'LL REGRET IT… CHRISTOPHER COME HERE NOOWWW…I MEAN IT"

"Why are you yelling at Chris like that?" Wyatt asked sleepily from the bed.

"Go back to sleep, Wy." Piper said sweetly.

"What did Chris do?" Wyatt asked.

"Nothing, Wy…we want him to help us figure out what happened with your powers." Leo said soothingly.

"And why are you yelling at him like he had just killed his own mother? Just tell him that I lost my powers… that would freak him enough!" He said dramatically rolling in the bed.

"My sons are soo smart!" Piper smiled proudly and the two of them that were present smiled too. "CHRIS GET YOUR BUTT HERE…WYATT LOST ALL HIS POWERS AND WE DON'T KNOW WHY!"

Underworld-

"And then we will kill the charmed ones." Eric said excited, just to find himself tk pinned against the wall.

"Nobody is going to KILL ANY of the Halliwell! So start getting that thought out of your mind cuz that's going to get YOU killed."

That's when it hit Cole; until now, he had thought it was just an outstanding resemblance, he had been trying to deny it; after all, the person in front of him looked around twenty five years old…but every second it passed it was harder, and harder to deny it. "Oh shit!" He thought "This is going to make it so much harder to tell this to Phoebe!" But he said nothing.

"But…"

"I like you Eric… and I've been tolerating a LOT from you cuz you are witty, bald, smart, resourceful and because you brought me back and admire me… but don't push it!" Wyatt said seriously angry.

"What do you…"

"I swear sometimes I seriously think you have a hearing problem!"

"But-why-did-you-bring-them-back-then?" Eric rushed his words so Wyatt would let him finish a sentence.

"To scare them, to make them see the truth before it's too late! To make them see that there is no good or evil and it's all about power…to open their eyes before they end up like the last time!" He pondered out loud "Nobody it's going to kill them unless there is no other way! Killing a member of the Halliwell family its last resource, CLEAR?" Wyatt roared.

"Crystal!" Eric said, while he thought "Then, we will have to make sure there is no other way!"

"You two I need you to start studying D.J and planning how we are going to get to him, and get the Charmed ones to pass to our side. GO and keep me updated" He roared at Cole and Zankou.

Eric smiled malevolently and said "Adios… be bad boys…we have a world to conquer!" He said waving his hands, dismissing them.

"Well I guess we better start working then!" Zankou eyed Cole and salute him as he flamed away.

Cole breathed deeply as he tried to calm himself down; focusing on Phoebe he realized she was alone at her house. His whole body trembled in anxiousness and fear as he flamed to her.

"Ok. Eric, your job will be to befriend young Chris and young Wyatt…do you understand? Just pretend to be an orphan witch seeking for help, or whatever you find suitable… I know you'll come up with something good. The point is I need you to earn the family's trust, so we can find where Excalibur is."

"I will have to act like a goody-goody witch?" Eric asked disgusted; but the more he thought about it, the more he liked the plan. If he got the kids to trust him, he would have unrestricted access to the manor, and he would be able to get a LOT more than Excalibur; he might not even need Wyatt anymore.

"Do you have any problem with it?" Wyatt asked harshly.

"No… actually I am starting to think it is a great idea!" Eric smiled smugly.

"I knew you'd understand" Wyatt smiled evilly at him "Take this!" He said giving him a vial.

"What's that?" Eric asked suspicious.

"An empathy blocking potion…we don't need Phoebe or Prue reading your feelings." Wyatt stated.

"You did think of everything!" he said happily drinking the potion.

"I didn't get where I was being stupid, trust me. Now go! I need to go somewhere, keep me updated" He said flaming out.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Underworld- Chris' Chambers (in Wyatt's Lair)

Chris had been thinking of ways out, he had tried orbing but there was no use, he couldn´t orb outside the two rooms. He wasn´t particularly shocked that Wyatt had already previewed that. They were no doors out, no windows, nothing.

His headache was definitely not helping with his planning; and Emma was helping him, but he could tell she was scared of what might happen to him if they run out, and that a big part of her had no real interest in leaving Wyatt. Chris was sort of glad to know the girl loved him so much, in good times and bad, in sickness and in health... he just hoped death won´t do them apart.

"So you two have been married for how long?" He asked Emma; tired of thinking about how to go against his beloved brother AGAIN! It had been over four hours since the last antidote dose and he could feel the fever peaking.

"Uh?" She asked.

"Your ring, and Wyatt had one just like it... and Wy doesn´t wear rings." He said rubbing his temples.

"You are always playing detective, aren´t you? Putting the little parts of the puzzle together...C.J it´s pretty much like that too" she said sadly "I remember when we were kids, he always used to say he was going to be the first magic private investigator in the world!" She chuckled sadly.

Chris smiled "Yeah… I used to say the same thing… Until I realized that is pretty much was mom does... only you don't get paid for it!" Chris said resting on the bed frame; Emma tried to feel his temperature, but Chris shook his head.

"Yeah…well you two are definitely cut for the job!" She smiled comfortingly as she went looking for some cool water and cloths that she already had prepared. "Do you think he is going to harm him if he gets to him?" She asked worried while she disregarded all Chris' attempts to stop her, and put the cool cloths on his forehead.

"Who?" Chris asked, too tired to fight against Emma.

"C.J…if Wyatt founds C.J…how do you think he is going to react?" She asked worried.

"I don't know…" he could feel his voice getting weaker "We should ask him… but I mean… he is me; and he is your best friend…so he might want to bring him here too… I don't think he will harm him…well not more than he harmed me anyways…" Chris could see the sad and guilty look on Emma's face, she somehow felt responsible for his state. Or maybe for not being able to hate Wyatt, even after putting him in that state. "I love him too, Emma… if that makes you feel any better…he is just sick… he lost touch with reality… he is a megalomaniac schizophrenic, and he actually has the power to be the ruler of the world!" Emma looked at him sadly. "So… you never told me… how long?"

"What about future consequences?" She smiled mischievously, applying another cold cloth in his forehead.

"Well… I already know you guys are married, and I don't really know from how far ahead in the future you guys are from so…"

"Two weeks… we got home from our honey moon the day before all this happened." She said sadly "You and C.J came for dinner…everything was perfect and then…" Emma's eyes got watery.

Chris hugged her; Emma started sobbing on his shoulder "It's ok, Emma… everything it's going to be fine… we'll get him back… everything is going to be fine…" He was saying comfortingly to the girl in his arms when Wyatt flamed in.

"What's this?" Wyatt asked.

&&&&&&&

Paige's and Phoebe's house -Phoebe office (A/N: Just a remainder; Paige and Phoebe bought the house next door, Paige and her family have the ground floor; Phoebe and Prue have the first floor and the attic is a big playroom for the girls.)

When Cole flamed in he could see Phoebe was working in her computer; she looked so gorgeous and adorable, as usual. He picked up the portrait beside him outlining Prue's and Phoebe's figure with his finger before putting it down and walking to her.

"Working from home?" He said softly and sweetly, walking to her; by the tone on his voice nobody would have guessed his heart was racing at 10.000 miles an hour and that he was having a hard time to control his body from shaking from nervousness.

Phoebe turned around startled.

"Cole…wha-ho-wh--." She started without finishing a word.

Cassi

Thanks! I am glad you think so, and hopefully you'll think it keeps on getting better.

teal-lover

Thanks! I am glad your questions were answered!

"So if cj is sensing chris' pain, when are they going to realize that he's missing?" Now…

"And poor crazy Wyatt--he's just kinda sweet when he was caring for Chris & admonishing him about putting himself at risk like that. Emma's right, he almost didn't seem to realize that he was the one who did it to him." He is sweet in an insane way, but he is sweet…

"I hope they're able to get the good wyatt back, because he's never going to forgive himself for ordering DJ's murder." Yeah… poor good Wyatt… like he doesn't like to torture and blame himself enough already!

"And I like Cole, so I'm glad you brought him back. And it was so cool that he ended up being Prue's father." You do? I am glad… I've been planning this since like chapter 10 of Chris' diary!

"Phoebe is gonna' freak out. But it's nice to know that he's a good guy this time--but for how long?" Ohh poor Cole… give him some credit, come on…he's been good for what? 14 years by now?

"So much going on here." It is a very eventful fiction!

"I loved the update." I am glad you did and I hope you are going to like it more and more…though all the cards are dealt now, the introduction is over…

Sparkling Cherries

"Yeah...I kinda see what you mean, Wy may go on another killing spree and keep not killing Chris. A dilemna indeed." Heheheh that was FUNNY! But basically…honestly… I release Barbus near Older Wyatt or Older Chris and they won't last more than two minutes. Leo is another one that's doomed if he gets near him… he is going to end up like in "An eye for an eye"… the younger versions of the brothers… are probably more neurotic than the older versions,.. so scary indeed. Very effective, but too effective for my fiction.

" Zankou and Cole would split due to creative differences" I love the "creative differences!" Heheh I can imagine!

"Zankou : The pain within. Cole would star in his own reality show to defend the slander Zankou wrote in his book called Turner Talks" I was cracking up soooooo badly… thank god nobody is around me… though there was someone the first time I read it.. but they are used to me having an insane relationship with my comp.

"You're just too funny!" In which universe? I wanna go there!

"Now I should actually review." Nahhh you can keep on cracking me up… I don't complain… I mean… if you got this far of into pressing the review button is cuz you finished the chappie…

" As usual I cannot find a single thing wrong with this - but I'm trying!" Well… if I wasn't kind of lazy, I would go over chappie 6 and give you a list… specially of the grammar and spelling mistakes (and I know that we are not very big fans of spelling, but I have a spell check, so a spelling mistake is that I wanted to write stunned and I wrote stoned…which is definitely not the same :P!)

" i can just imagine chris escaping to the family, warning them and then passing out due to him not having the antidote and having a mesiah complex." Sort of, very good! I guess its pretty obvious though, I am still thinking on how to get him out…and I have a couple of less expectable twists for the end, or I think…you never know…did you expected the end in "Chris' Diary"? Though I sort of told you Chris was going to become a whitelighter.

"Emma both present and future would be there and then young wy would feel guilty and older would get even crazier." Future Emma will leave with him, so yeah she will be freaking out! The rest… I won't tell…you can torture me…and I will probably tell… because you know I LOVE telling how my fictions are going to go!

tigger817

"hi, okay so maybe you think i'm a bit evil for being the cheering squad for vanquishing evil wyatt...but if thats what's got to be done, its got to be done (lol)" Hehehe you are with the cheering squad to vanquish Wyatt… nah its ok… he is evil after all…but the thing is that if you vanquish old Wyatt, you are killing good Wyatt too; but well… hopefully you'll read the end of the fiction and see how it will all end and what they are going to do.

"but now you've got alternatives to use it on, zankou and cole (but i think cole's going to be good in your fic, so you can still use it on zankou)" Heheh yeah Cole is good…and vanquishing…I won't tell you…not cuz I don't want to… cuz I am dying to tell you the whole plot till the end…but for you… cuz most people are not like me, that I like to read the ending when I start to read sth.
I am happy you are still loving it… Thank you sooooo much!

Victorious Light

"Episodes discussion." Everytime I read this I laugh so bad… I love it!

"I don't think they did figure it out, they just assumed that Gideon was the true threat, you're right though they would check just to be sure. Lazy writers..." Yeah…though it would have been such an AWESOME episode… I mean it, they should do it. Imagine, the four of them traveling to the future and you can see Wyatt and Chris and Phoebe's and Paige's daughters/son and the whole family in the future…a two hours episode… like a season finale like that. Wouldn't it be awesome?

"Ooh! I have to say I had no idea that Cole was Prue's Dad, and what an interesting way you did it." Dun, dun… well… I knew it since like chapter 10 of "Chris' Diary" but I couldn't say really anything, because nobody in the family knew. All its sad about Prue's dad in the other fiction is that they met, they were inseparable for two months and then he died on a car crush and she found out she was pregnant.

"I wonder what her reaction will be when she finds out?" Well… she won't find out for a while… cuz I am mean…and I will torture my readers!

"More of your wonderfully twisted Wyatt, I just can't get enough." Heheh thanks! I love writing Wyatt!

" I liked Chris' sarcasam in that part!" Well… he is the king of sarcasm after all!

"I also like the way that you're having Wyatt go after the Charmed One's, interesting way and I'm glad he's not set out to kill them." I am glad…I just thought that he actually looses them all (Some of them for things that were his own mistakes…if you remember in Chris' Diary he blames himself for a few of the deaths) in his other life time, but if he cares about Chris he has to care about the rest… and now he not only wants Chris by his side… but the whole family! He wants to make sure they don't die again, its kind of cute in a very twisted way. (Like, lets kill your best friend kid so you realize you have to be a power freak like me!)

"I'll have to read your other story tomorrow as I really don't have time right now, but I look forward to it and the next chappie of this." Don't worry I am writing too much lately… I will slow down eventually and then u can catch up!

Wwolf

" adoro estos dos hermanos en cualquier realidad, o tiempo." Absolutamente… son tan cutes… adorables.
"jajajaj, adoro como se las enginio para copnseguir volver a enamorar a Pheobe y incluso tener una hija con ella!" Hehehehe los recursos de la magia, vio? Pero solo queria estar con ella… y sabia que si le decia quien era no le iba a prestar atención.

"Me pregunto como se lo tomarqa Pheobe," La pregunta del millón… falta un tiempito para que se entere igual!

"Kiero Cole/Chris, el sarcasmo puede llegar a unos limites impredecibles." Sabes que ni se me habia ocurrido!

Altaira

"Your ego can reach the stars, as long as having it so far away doesn't stop you from writing!" Hehe you are SOO cute!

" I love this chapter and I'm glad you updated so fast!" I am on a roll now… aren't i? THANKS! Here is the next part!

Chris-Halliwell

"i've only been talking about being able 2 go through things." Uhhh… I think you just gave me a really good idea…I don't know if it will be exactly what you were expecting… but… I hope you will like it… I think I know how I am going to make C.J and Chris be able to walk through things.
"They're gonna kill D.J?" That's their plan.
" And i'm not gonna say what happens but someone dies in this book as well." Buuu I am so crying now…tell me, tell me…I always like to know whats going to happen in a book or a movie before I read it/see it. DO you think they are really going to kill him in book 7?
"Cole coming back! hows Phoebe gonna react?" Well…you'll see next chappie.

"does Piper remember her meeting with cole from the 150th eppy?" No… she doesn't… I had all the impression that she didn't… she would have said something to Phoebe if not… right?
"Keep writing i love your stories!" Thanks that is adorable!

phoebe turner

" i'm so happy that cole was with phoebe! i always thought they should be together!" Yeah I think your nick shows it hehehe :)…this whole fic started because of that…and some other thing you told me about bringing evil Wyatt back. Yeah… I always really like that couple too, and now I can't wait to write Cole as a father!

shyeye

I am glad you like it… here you have more!

JadeAlmasy

THANKS!

"podría haber repetido lo de Chris casi muriendo a manos de su hermano por lo de la compu...pero no pobre, el mío se portó bien." Heheh te estaba por preguntar si tan mal te habia tratado tu hermano!

"Y lo de sana...ejem! tan sana como siempre je je." De la cabeza o del cuerpo me estas hablando :P!
Que bueno que te gusto lo de Cole… yo tampoco puedo esperar a escribir las partes de el con Prue… hasta ahora solo escribi una, que es la escena final (no final, final de la fiction, pero si del capitulo final y el final de la historia con Phoebe/Prue/Cole.) Pero ahora en un rato capaz que me ponga a escribir la que se conocen…Cole va a morir de amor :)!

"Wyatt y Chris...si...es lindo ver como lo quiere..de una manera muy enfermiza, pero sí, lograste tu cometido el pobre loco es adorable." Si es tan divertido escribir a insane Wyatt… me encanta… porque no hay manera que haya contradicción en su speech…pero esta loco… o sea que puede ser re cariñoso y ser un HDP a los dos segundos y esta bien.

"Y Emma..ah.. parece saber como tratarlo. Je je...cualquier cosa ya sabe, que lo deje tener una charlita conmigo." Le digo…
"Me encantó Wy hablando con los dos demons, todo poderoso él. Parece un buen plan, vamos a ver como sale...y Wy no está pensando en su contraparte del present? Poque yo sí, y en cueros!" Hehehehe esta pensando igual que esta pensando el las charmed ones, su plan es que toda la familia se le una… TODOS… para asi asegurarse de no perder a nadie… aunque te digo que eso de matar a su amigo (porque en un momento Young Wyatt dice que uno de sus pocos verdaderos amigos es D.J) e hijo de los mejores amigos de tus padres, para que la familia se le una… bueno… lo que uno dice bueno…

Nikki14u

Thanks!

" Wyatt is so damn cruel but I love him anyway sighs with stary look in her eyes" Ahhh you hubby is cute… he is adorable to his wife.. so…you shouldn't worry about it, right? There is a Spanish saying that goes "ojos que no ven, Corazon que no siente." And is basically what you don't see, can't hurt you…

I am updating like Now… that is a far now from when you wrote it but still is now.

Beleninwe

Thanks! I am glad you are liking it and that you like Chris and Cole in the same fic. I always wanted to write a fic with Cole… they are the two hot guys, we loved and they killed, right?
