"Wait! What I don't get is how losing his parents made his powers come.. out" Phoebe asked Leo.
"It's simple. Like I said with you and your sisters, your powers are tied to your emotions. I guess losing his parents made him receive his powers more earlier than the Elders expected" Leo responded.
"But don't you think that'll make him a little more…vulnerable? I mean, I've been where he was, I've lost my parents too. Even I didn't get my powers after my parents died, I had to wait until these two found me Are you even sure that he's supposed to be my charge? Maybe you got the wrong Whitelighter." Paige asked.
"No I don't have the wrong white lighter, and exactly Paige. The Elders thought that since you've been through what he's going through now, you can relate to him more, and he'll most likely trust you more. That's why they assigned him to you." Leo replied.
"Well I can't argue against that." Piper responded.
"Haha, I guess not. But Paige, if you don't want this, then he can always be reassigned. I just thought that because of your history, you might be willing to take him. I guess we were wrong.." Leo started.
"But she hasn't even met the kid yet, Leo. Maybe if you told her more about him, then she might come to her senses" Phoebe suggested.
"When you say 'her', don't you mean 'us'?" Paige asked.
"Yeah, yeah. 'Her', 'Us', we're sisters aren't we? What's your business, is our business too" Phoebe replied pointing to herself and Piper. "Go on Leo, tell us more about him"
"Well okay. Besides losing his parents, he has one younger sister, and one younger brother. Before their parents died, they lived in Kansas, but they now live with their Aunt and her close friends in some town named Playa Linda, that's along the coast. But because of some changes in their lives, they're moving to San Francisco." Leo explained.
"Wait what, they're moving here? And this kid has 2 siblings, but do they have powers too?" Paige asked.
"Yes, Paige. They're moving there. The Elders don't even know if his siblings have powers, well atleast not until they come into them." Leo answered.
"So let me get this straight. Kid has family, kid loses parents. Kid and siblings move with Aunt and friends. Kid's emotions make him come into his powers, Elders only know he has powers, not siblings. Kid, siblings, and Aunt moving to San Francisco." Paige stated.
"Uhmm..yeah" Leo responded after thinking about what she said.
"Did his parents even have powers?" Phoebe asked out of curiosity.
"That, we don't know." Leo replied.
"Then how did he get his powers if his parents didn't?" Piper asked as Wyatt orbed himself and Chris into the room. "Hey, hey, hey! What did mommy say about orbing into an adult conversation?" she said sternly to Wyatt while picking him up.
"Piper, you can't blame them. They must've woken up upstairs and were wondering where we were." Leo said defending his kids, while picking up Chris "Oh, and that is another thing that we don't know. While his parents were alive, the Elder's couldn't sense any magical powers. From all we know, they were regular human beings."
"What is this, Harry Potter? And gosh Leo, this kid is supposed to be my charge, but you can't even tell us how he got his powers, or anything." Paige asked.
"Paige, I'm sorry. The only things I know are the things that I've told you, and also, that he is a witch."
"Do you know what powers he has?" Phoebe asked.
"The Elders said something about telekinesis, and reformation"
"Reformation?" Piper asked
"Yeah. It's kind of like orbing, except without the orbs. He can transport himself wherever he wants to go, but as of right now, he can't control it. Same goes along with the telekinesis" he replied.
"This is great, just great. What happens if I do agree to this, and he gets angry or frustrated and like reforms on like the top of the Golden Gate Bridge or something?" Paige asked in frustration.
"Well that's what you're going to have to find out, if you choose to be his white lighter." Phoebe said before Leo could.
"Exactly what Phoebe said. But Paige, I know you can do it, we all know you can do it. Look at how many innocents and charges you've helped before, what makes this one so different?" Leo asked.
"...Nothing" Paige replied after thinking. "I guess I'll take the assignment"
"Good. Now one more thing, He's around Billie's age, and is going into the same high school as her. So if you need any help watching after him, ask Billie. Now if you don't mind, the Elders are calling." Leo said.
"Wait Leo! You're missing one important thing." Paige stated.
"What is it?"
"His name?"
"Oh. Bradin. Bradin Westerly." Leo replied as he orbed up to the Elders.
