What have we done?
Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed! Sad but true.
Summary: Not knowing who Chris is, Paige casts a spell to reveal his secrets. But something goes wrong, so the CharmedOnes, Leo, Baby Wyatt and Chris end up in Chris' future. Where not everything is perfect and only more secrets are waiting for them. Can Chris keep his secret?
A/N: I always wanted to write a story, which gets so many reviews... It is just great – I hope it keeps that way... and I hope I won't disappoint you. I also promise to write on my other stories – for those who read it... but I think I am more inspirited for this one at the moment.
This chapter contains a lot of different characters (don't worry, you don't need to know all of them)... in order stop you from getting confused I will list them here (as far as you know them):
there is Clara (about 22 years old) who was with Darryl catching up the sisters
there are the two men, which were discussing with Clara
there was the 18 year old girl Lil, who healed Chris
(these four people are going to appear more often and some of them are playing an important role...but you will see)
there are also Lucy and Vince, who were with Darryl and Clara.
Chapter 3
"Let's say our group of Whitelighters shrank a little bit more since you were gone... and they are actually all out at the moment... so I switched my powers with a wounded Whitelighter... I mean I can forego my powers for a while, and the Whitelighter has an active power too." Lil answered.
"You switched your powers?" Chris mumbled and he gave Lil an asking glance, but she ignored him with purpose.
But then he asked surprised: "Which Whitelighter?"
"Later!" The man, who helped Chris up said and led him towards the table. "And by the way... you are going to switch your powers again – as soon as possible!" The man added to Lil.
Lil mumbled something, but then she sat down next to Chris and Clara. The two men from before sat down too and the other groups split again in different directions. A few magical being, but also humans sat down at the table too.
The sisters actually wanted to follow Chris, but Darryl stopped them. "That is a discussion between the leaders. You are not allowed to listen... but you can sit there." Darryl said and pointed to a sofa at the wall.
"But we are the Charmed Ones, don't you think... "Piper wanted to protest.
"... and Lucy - you know her from before, will bring you everything you want. I will come back as soon as possible and then we all will discuss what we are going to do with you!" Darryl just said – as if Piper hadn't interrupted him. With these words he left CharmedOnes, Leo and Baby Wyatt and went over to Lucy. He whispered something into her ear and she immediately headed for the CharmedOnes, while Darryl went over to the table – where everybody was already waiting for him.
As he sat down a strange blue shield – comparable to Wyatt's protection shield – surrounded the table with his users.
"Do you want to eat or drink anything?" Lucy asked the CharmedOnes and Leo.
"No. But I would love to know what the hell is going on here!" Piper said a little bit angrily. "I want some answers." Piper added.
But Lucy just looked away. "Sorry… I can't help you… you really have to ask Darryl."
Phoebe laid a hand on the woman's shoulder. "Don't worry… Piper is only a little bit shocked… don't take her too serious… why don't you bring us some coffee?" She said.
Lucy nodded and went away. Meanwhile Leo and the sisters sat down on the sofa.
"Paige you really messed up this time." Leo said.
"Oh come on. You all can't tell me that you don't think that this is exiting and that you don't want to reveal the truth." Paige answered.
"Yes. Maybe we want to know, but we would have found a way… a way which doesn't nearly kill Leo or any other one of us." Piper said.
"But now we are here… so I think we should make the best of it. I think Darryl will answer more questions then Chris…" Phoebe said.
"What actually happened exactly?" Leo asked. And each one of them told their stories.
"… I was just orbing to the Manor, as suddenly a golden light surrounded me. It kind of distracted me, so I appeared near the P3. A second later a Darklighter appeared behind me and shot…then I sensed Piper… so I orbed to her." Leo told his story.
Meanwhile at the table, there was a huge fight. "You went back to the past? You have to be kidding me, right?" The first man said.
"So Bianca wasn't even able to tell you?" Chris mumbled to himself, not really noticing that the man was so angry.
"Bianca… she disappeared with you… we haven't seen her since then." Lil answered.
"I thought you knew. I didn't want to scar you … but I haven't seen another possibility. We lost 50 men the last time. I couldn't stand that anymore. Is that so hard to understand? I thought changing the past was our only hope… and I knew you would be against it, Richard…" Chris said to the first man.
"Are you happy now? Did it bring anything good? As far as I know anything changed and without you, we lost 50 people again. Although we didn't even attack the last half year." Richard yelled back.
"You two have to calm down. … I have to say that I was really shocked as Clara told me the CharmedOnes were here. We all thought they accidentally cast a spell… but why did you bring them here?" The second man asked.
"I didn't bring them here! I am not so stupid!... Paige cast a spell on me, to reveal my secrets and I have no idea what exactly went wrong, but we all ended up here." Chris said. "Do you think I like them here? I know what can happen and all the future consequences stuff, including I know how hard it is for you all to act towards them!
All the others at the table didn't say a word. They knew that the conversation was actually only supposed to be between a few of them, but because of the rules the others were allowed to listen.
"They shouldn't be here… now we have to be more careful with our plans and actions." Richard said.
"We should wait 24 hours… then the spell should immediately bring the sisters, Leo, Baby Wyatt and me to their time by itself." Chris said.
"You have to be kidding me, right? I mean you can't leave again!" Lil said.
"My god… calm down Lil." Clara said nerved.
"But she is right. We need you here!" Richard said.
"Ok… I see it… but the first priority is to bring them back in their time, and maybe I find the demon which turned Wyatt." Chris said.
"You don't understand. We really need you here. As fast as possible! We have the feeling that Wyatt is planning something big." Darryl said.
All the others at the table nodded.
"I am just a single person. What can I change?" Chris asked, but as he saw Lil's angry look, Chris sighed. "I will do the best that I can!"
"Ok… maybe you should tell us what you have done the last half year?" Clara said.
"For me it was actually only four month." Chris said, but then Chris nodded and began to talk (everything from 5x22 till 6x12).
While Chris and the others were talking, Phoebe has managed that Lucy talked to them. So the five adults talked.
"Let's say that we are called the Resistance. We collect all witches and magical beings that are in danger, because of Wyatt." Lucy started.
Piper and Leo flinched by these words and they all looked at the sweet little Baby who which was sleeping in Leo's arms. But Lucy didn't bother and kept on talking.
"Of course here are also a few mortals who were in danger or who just want to help us. Sometimes we are starting an attack, but our priority is to keep everybody save. This place here is called 'Home', because it is the last home most of us have. We are one big family, and normally there aren't any secrets between us. These kinds of places exist all over the world. But we nearly have any connection to them – everybody has his own problems, and San Francisco is surely the most endangered place which makes us - the headquarter - of 'Home' and we also have the most members: the centre – the conversation room – is located under the P3 and from here on this whole construction passes off kilometres… Our 'Home' is hidden with hundreds of spells and it is all underground… till now… and that are about seven years… neither a demon nor Wyatt could find a way in here." Lucy kept on talking. The sisters and Leo listened carefully – not planning to miss one little hint. They weren't so sure that Chris would have allowed them to know all this.
"What was this flying robot?" Piper tried her luck.
"They are probes. There are two different kinds. There are the ones that are only scanning for witches and the other ones – the one that attacked- they are also killing and you need really strong magic to destroy them, or just a lot of water. Because they are more technical then magical. These killing probes are only in area 2." Lucy answered.
"Area 2?" Leo asked.
"Each city is divided into a lot of areas. That means that the magical powers don't go over the single areas. In case somebody in area 2 is calling for a Whitelighter in area 3, the Whitelighter won't hear him. The manor and its surrounding is area 1, while as far as we now even callings in the house can't be heard. The area around the P3 is Area 2." Lucy explained.
"So Wyatt knows that the Resistance is under the P3?" Leo asked – his voice trembling, because he still couldn't really accept that his little boy was evil.
"He knew it from the beginning, but he can't enter our home. But it didn't stop him from destroying the upper world around the P3. It is the only place where no mortal is allowed to go." Lucy said.
"Yes, what is with the mortals… we saw them on the streets?" Paige asked – remembering that they acted pretty normal.
"Oh, they live like in your time too. Except that they know about magic and of course they see the damages that the fights causes, but mostly they are not concerned about it… not any more. The beginning was hard. The first few years it was really a chaos and they were really scared of magic and witches, demons, just everything… witch hunters came back and burning of witches was the most important subject again… but as Wyatt is a witch too he managed the chaos somehow… we actually think he cast a spell to calm the people down. The fact is: for the most mortals nothing changed except their environment. But they match with it." Lucy finished.
"It's just a thought, but for me it doesn't sound that bad… I mean witches can use their powers openly and the mortals accept it." Leo said.
Lucy snorted contemptuously. "Huh… You are the one I expected it the most!"
The time travellers looked at each other confused.
"I don't understand!" Leo said.
"Forget it! Of course it doesn't sound that bad, but you should start to live in this world. And by the way there is hardly any Whitelighter still alive… and there is only one Elder I know who still lives – is that your peachy world?" Lucy answered.
"But the death of the Whitelighters and Elders was mainly the Titans fault, wasn't it?" Paige asked.
"The Titans? Year 2003 or 2004?" Lucy asked unbelieving.
"Yes…" Phoebe said.
Lucy laughed and nearly couldn't breathe anymore. A few of the other people who were standing around looked towards her, but she relaxed fast again.
"Ok… What is so funny about it?" Piper asked.
"The Titans were destroyed by Baby Wyatt and the Power of Three… what the hell are you talking about? Not more then ten Elders died that time… As far as I know." Lucy answered.
"Wait… Power of Three? Does that mean I didn't die?" Paige asked.
"Ok… now I don't understand anything … You are alive aren't you? So what are you talking about?" Lucy asked and then the truth hit her. "Oh shit… I think Chris will kill me now… why the hell does Darryl put this on me… he knows that I can't keep my mouth shut." Lucy swore to herself.
The others looked in each others eyes. "Secret No. 1 revealed!" Paige said with a smirk. "Didn't I say that this spell should have worked!"
"Ok!" was Richards only answer after Chris told the whole story. There was a deep silence inside the shield again – anybody said a word. Lil, who sat next to Chris squeezed his hand. He looked to her and they both smiled.
"I am sorry!" He said to nobody particular in the room, or to everybody.
"It wasn't your fault… well at least not the fact that they are here…" the second man said.
"Ok. I don't want to complain, but we should maybe slowly concentrate on our most important problem… the sisters problem can actually wait." Clara interrupted the silence.
"She is right… our spies think that Wyatt is planning something big… something that would kill the whole Resistance!" Richard informed Chris.
"Oh what a surprise… what has changed in the last half year?... didn't we have such rumors thousand of times? We collected our whole resources and the hectic only gave Wyatt the chance to kill more of us!" Chris said sarcastically.
There was a strange look on all the faces of the others.
"What?" Chris asked.
"Let's say … we have a very trustful source!" Richard said, but he didn't look into Chris eyes.
"What do you mean? Who?" Chris asked. He knew that they all were hiding something from him.
"As we said… a lot of things changed since you were gone." Darryl said.
"You don't want to tell me?" Chris asked unbelieving. "If I hadn't reject I would have been your leader… and now you don't even trust me?"
"Chris calm down, we will tell you… but maybe the sister problem should be our first priority nevertheless and we should bring you up to date about the last things that happened the last half year… and with these words I close this meeting." Richard said.
Everybody stood up and the shield went down. Lil immediately rushed to the next door, after Richard gave her a special look and he, the second man and Clara went to the map to discuss special things. Darryl clapped Chris on the back and pointed to the sisters who were talking to Lucy.
"Let's concentrate on that problem first… trust me, you don't want to be pushed back in your old position that fast!" Darryl said to Chris, who sighed and followed Darryl to the sisters.
"And how many secrets could you already reveal?" Chris asked the sisters sarcastically as he came near them.
"You lied to us!" Piper said angrily.
"Sorry, Chris! But how exactly could I have known that you would say such a trash?" Lucy complained.
"Not your fault… you can leave them to me now… and thank you for babysitting them." Chris said and smirked.
"Did I just hear baby-sit?" Paige asked unbelieving while Lucy immediately left them.
"Everything for you… honey!" Lucy only added.
"I never saw you smirking like that in our time!" Piper noticed.
Chris immediately stopped smirking.
"Sorry?" Piper said as she saw the reaction.
Chris suddenly acted very cold. "Doesn't matter. The important thing is that we bring you home as fast as possible!" Chris said.
"First you tell us why you said the Titans killed Paige and that they were an enormous threat!" Phoebe said.
Chris sighed.
"What do you think? Which other possibility did I have to gain your trust?" Chris said sarcastically.
"Trust? Did you really think we trust you? Especially after you brought me to Valhalla!" Leo asked a little bit angry.
"No. I never expected that You would trust me!" Chris said cold.
Being back in his time had changed his reaction towards Leo and the sisters completely – he was peeved.
Darryl laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't take him too serious… Let's go to the magic room to search for a spell or potion." Darryl suggested.
"Why the hurry? We will be back in our time in less then 22 hours anyway." Phoebe said.
"Let's say you are kind of disturbing now and everybody would be glad to see you gone as fast as possible." Clara said, who was just coming near.
The sisters and Leo looked at her mean. "I would love to know what our future parts would say to that." Phoebe said.
"Don't expect an answer on that comment!" Clara just said. "Darryl and Chris will show you the way." and with these words she left.
"I don't like her!" Paige said.
"Neither do I!" Piper said.
"But she is right! Let's go!" Darryl said with a smirk towards Chris.
The sisters had no other choice then to follow them. They all left the hall through one of the doors and came to a long white corridor.
"So magic room? What happened to Magic school?" Leo asked.
"What's Magic school?" Piper asked confused.
"Not so important." Leo said. The sisters looked at him confused. "Later!" He said.
"The home of a lot of warlocks and demons." Darryl answered Leo.
"You really changed, didn't you?" Piper said.
"In our time you still want to know as less as possible about demons!" Phoebe added.
"Let's say you have no other choice. I am pretty sure that I am on the top ten list of Wyatt's 'need-to-be-dead' people list. To survive you need to be informed as much as possible!" Darryl said with a cold voice.
The sisters and Leo jerked… they have never met Darryl like that. Chris suddenly went to one of the hundred doors at their right and they followed. They entered another corridor and Chris went to the door at the end.
The room they entered was quiet big. There were a few other doors leading into the room.
"Each room in this building has more then one door." Darryl said. "In case we get attacked there should be more ways out!" He added.
All four walls were hidden behind cupboards and three of them were full of books. The fourth one was filled with vials and other stuff for potions. In the middle of the room was a round table and next to it an oven.
"This is all the stuff we could safe from Wyatt." Darryl explained.
Chris who hadn't said a word for a while went to one of the bookcases and picked out six books and passes each one to the others.
"There must be some spells and potions about time travelling in it!" he said and sat down at the table and began to read.
"What about the Book of Shadows?" Piper asked.
"Wyatt!" Chris only answered.
"Oh!" Piper said and then she and the others followed Chris example.
But only a few minutes later a door was opened and a man entered.
"Hello Christopher!" He said.
