Powers : Of The ' Three ' Kind
Disclaimer : I sooo don't own Charmed or any of the characters . WB do . (But I own Des, Gale, Carl, Daniel, Melinda and Sean . )
Andy is semi-evil ? Prue's back with one hell of a surprise for the charmed ones !
Pairings : Prue/Andy, Piper/Leo and Phoebe/Jason
BTW : Phoebe is an empath and Jason are working together while Piper is pregnant and not after Wyatt is born, like on the show.
SO SORRY about my updating. I was on vacation and then school started and it was like a flurry of activity. But I made it. And it's dedicated to my reviewers.So without much further ado . . .
" So has it ? "
Piper sighed and looked up at Darryl with a frown.
" Trust me. If I knew I would tell you right away. But I don't . Leo is going to check it out with the Eld-, I mean his BOSS ! " She said glancing warily at the policemen close by to check if they heard anything.
" But I- "
He was cut off by Piper waving her hand in front of him animating what her speech.
" Darryl, Please I'm tired. And I want to go home. Plus I'm pregnant with a kid who is a pacifist and thinks that it is right to play around with my one mode of defence which unfortunately renders me helpless ! It gets in the way of my Charmed one duties as with having no way to predict when my daughter feels like playing with my powers which I suspect is her one method of amusement. I CANNOT SAVE INNOCENTS !!!!! "
Her voice had been getting higher and louder as she continued with her speech.
" Piper ! CALM DOWN ! You let the fact that you're a witch slip out. "
" At this point I'm done caring ! I'm tired and I want to go home ! I didn't even want to come to this bloody place !!! "
" Okay ! Okay ! I'm SORRY ! I'm SORRY! " He gently stressed on the sorry part, hoping that it would calm her down. Raising his arms as if he had surrendered.
" Sorry Darryl. I feel cranky 'cause of these mood swings. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. Now could I go home ? "
" Um, yeah it's okay. I remember when Sheila was pregnant, but without the magic of course . . . sorry again. "
With that Darryl left to check up on the reports that a few officers had taken. Piper walked up to the parking lot and started looking for her car, when she remembered that Leo had orbed her here. She wished that she was in her room back at the manor. Next second she was covered in a swirl of blue and white lights as she orbed herself back at the manor. " I've never been more thankful that you're half – whitelighter " she said to her unborn daughter.
She had a feeling that something was wrong at the moment, but she put that down as exhaustion. She plopped down on the bed and was asleep in a moment.
Jason realized that Phoebe had asked him a question. " Huh ? Oh yeah ! That ! "
He replied in a dazed voice as he was still reeling from shock.
" Jason are you alright ? " Phoebe asked, concern showing in her eyes.
" All those family emergencies, they were about demons weren't they ? And . . . and your sister Paige when she- " he was still speaking in a very dazed voice, when Phoebe cut him off.
" Yes Jason they were like that but I think you should calm down. And what about the appointment with the advertisement agency ? "
" That ? I'll just cancel it . . . . . you want to go out for lunch ? "
" Jason you sure you're okay ? I mean this isn't like you at all. I'm worried. "
" Phoebe, I'm okay. A little shocked, that's all. "
Phoebe gave him a worried smile. " Okay, I guess both of us have a lot to talk about huh ? "
" Yeah. " replied a dazed Jason.
As Paige was driving her head was swimming with thoughts,
I just can't believe this ! Prue is so warm and down-to-earth it's amazing. I know there may be a mess at home, but it can wait. It's not every day your dead sister came back to life and goes shopping with you.
" Um, Paige ? "
" Yeah ? "
" Take a left here. Drive down a little and take a right into this parking lot. "
" Okay . . . "
Paige parked the car and they got out. Prue was grinned as she took in her surroundings. She hadn't been here in a long while. Paige, on the other hand, was blown away. She had a strong feeling about this place. Something important had happened here. She was sure of it. " Where are we ? "
" You'll see. "
Paige followed Prue around the corner where she stopped in front of a restaurant. Paige's feelings were definitely caused by this place. She knew it. " Well, " said Prue, " welcome to Quake. "
" Okay . . . " Paige murmured as they walked in. " Hi Charles, table for two please. " said Prue with a smile. Paige didn't know if she was seeing things or not, but did the waiter's eyes turn into orbs a second ago ?
" Prue ? What did you just do ? " Paige asked nervously.
" I'll explain that with everything else once we get home, okay ? But you will see that trick a little bit more. " Prue informed her.
The waiter shook his head. He must have zoned off for a second. He looked at the women in front of him, one of them looked familiar . . .
" Prue ?! " he exclaimed, " Long time no see. What have you been up to ? "
" Oh, I've become a photojournalist for 415. So I haven't had the time to come here. What about you ? "
" Me ? Well . . . I'm going to graduate from college next month and I'm engaged to Franscine Rogers. Remember her ? "
" Oh yeah. " She answered with a smile. Last she'd seen them, Charles had been smitten by Franscine. Unfortunately she had been possessed by a demon and had tried to seduce Leo to fulfill some kind of prophecy. They had vanquished the demon, but unfortunately Charles had given up waiting and started dating someone else.
At least they finally confessed their love.
It was like watching a soap opera withthe twoof them. Will he confess his love ? Will she say yes to his proposal ?
Tune in next time folks !
" Ahem." Paige cleared her throat as she nudged Prue.
" Oh yeah ! " Prue exclaimed. She had nearly forgotten about Paige.
" Charles, this is my youngest sister Paige. "
" Pleased to meet you. Congratulations on the engagement. "
" Thanks. How's this table ? Your old favourite."
" Oh ! Thank you. " replied Prue as she sat down.
" So what will you have ? " he asked as he handed them the menu. " Do you still want the usual; ? " A grin spread over Prue's face as she was pulled into another memory.
Flashback
She sat facing Andy. They were both exhausted. Prue,from her busy day at Bucklands and another vanquish of a pack of Scavenger demons who seemed unusually active at the moment. Andy from a murder case where the victim had been tied up and slashed.
Unknown to him, she had vanquished the murderer. He grinned at her.
" Tired. Huh ? "
" Yeah. "
" So what do you want to do after this ? "
" Well . . . we could watch a movie. You choose. "
" No you choose. "
" Fast and the Furious. " " Bowfinger. " They exclaimed at the same time.
" I thought you wanted to watch something pacy. " Prue said, quite surprised that he didn't want to watch ' Fast and the Furious ' .
" Well, I figured you wanted to watch something funny. " Andy replied with a grin as he realized that she had only chosen the movie for him. " We could always watch ' The Grinch who stole Christmas ' . "
" Are you kidding ? "
" No, I'm serious. When was the last time you watched it ? "
" Just yesterday. " She put in sarcasticly.
" Such a nice movie. Guess you won't mind watching it again. "
" Andy . . . I watched it maybe . . . twenty years ago. "
" Exactly. And we need a stress remover. "
" You are unbelievable. Did I ever mention that ? " Prue exclaimed.
" Yes. " He replied with a smirk.
" Ugh ! You win," she said grinning as she shrugging her shoulders.
End Flashback
" Umm, yeah. " She murmured with a grin as she reminisced days gone by.
" I'll have a Shepard's Pie please, " said Paige. She was slightly worried about Prue. It seemed like she wasn't even in this world.
Maybe whatever brought her back got something wrong. Her spirit doesn't seem to click with anything.
" Right. That's one Sphagetti Bolognese and one Shepard's Pie. " Charles said with a smile. " Be back in a twenty. "
After he'd gone for a few minutes, Paige rapped Prue on the palm with her knuckles.
" Prue ? Are you okay ? Did I do something wrong ? "
The rapping had the intended effect. Prue snapped out of her reverie.
" Huh ? No. You didn't. "
" Well, you seem kind of out of it. "
" No. I was just remembering all those great times I had here. "
" Oh. " Paige said with a frown.
" So . . . you conjured a dove. Something I could never get right. But I guess that whitelighter half of yours did just the trick. "
" Yes. I guess it did. " Paige answered with a bashful grin. She felt proud at that fact.
" I sent the spell to you so that you wouldn't feel pressured to follow in my foot steps. "
" Really ? "
" Yeah. You were exhausting yourself trying to be perfect. "
" Wow ! "
" Paige ? You won't mind if I go to the washroom for a bit do you "
" Did you have washrooms up there ? " she asked rolling her eyes toward the ceiling.
" Um. No. But we never had to . . . you know . . . go. "
" Oh. "
" Well, I'll be back in a second. " she said getting up to go to the washroom.
As she made her way to the washroom, Prue still could not believe she was back, it was like a dream. She was so lost in her memories she bumped into someone resulting in a loud yell of pain. " Oh ! I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going, " she said, grabbing a couple of napkins off the counter to help wipe up the coffee she had caused to spill on the man. She looked up, and was surprised to see the face of none other than . . . Andy Trudeau staring down at her.
" You okay ? " Phoebe whispered as she squeezed through the crowd to where their table was waiting. " Um hm. " Jason mumbled as he followed her. " Jase, Gino's is great. The atmosphere is perfect, they have mood music, the right setting and the food here is great. " She explained with a smile.
" I guess that's okay. "
" Right. So when did you discover you were a witch ? "
" My granddad was a witch. So was my mother . "
" Were they powerful ? "
" Well, grandpa sure was. I guess it's that patriarch of the family thing. " Jason said a little embarrassed. Not a lot of people knew about these things and those who did, well most of them were dead.
" Yeah it was the same with Grams. She's my grandmother. " Phoebe said with an encouraging smile. This was a side of Jason she'd never seen, till now.
" Nice to know it's not only my family. " he said with a grin.
" Tell me about it, " she said, agreeing with him, " what are your powers ? "
" Me ? Well I can turn myself and sometimes other objects invisible. You ? "
" I receive premonitions, am empathic and can levitate. "
" Cool. What about your sisters ? Are they witches too ? Wait. I totally take that back. Of course they are. You guys are the charmed ones . . . Sorry bout that. "
" It's okay. Piper can freeze time and make things explode. But it's really the speeding up and slowing down of molecules. You know that entire speed, molecules and mass thingy. " Jason nodded to what he understood of her little babble-slash-rant thing. " Paige can telekinetically orb things to herself and others. She can orb herself as well, "
" But I thought only whitelighters can orb. "
" She's half-whitelighter. "
" Oh. "
Just then the waiter arrived to take their order. Once he left they resumed their conversation.
" My turn to question you Dean. " Phoebe quipped with a flirtatious smile.
" Okay. Shoot. "
" Why didn't you tell me that you were a witch sooner ? I wouldn't have needed to lie to you. "
" Well I didn't know that you were one, otherwise I would have told you sooner. My turn. What's the worst magical thing that has happened to you ? "
Phoebe shifted uncomfortably. The question brought back memories. Memories about Prue. She could remember the day like it was yesterday. Shax and Tempus. The only good thing had been Paige. But as much as she loved Paige, she still missed Prue. Jason noticed a change in Phoebe's demeanor. It was filled with . . . grief ?
" Um. I'd rather not talk about it now. "
" Okay. Are you okay though ? You seem shaken up. "
" I'm okay. Just a little shaken up that's all. "
" Sorry. " He shouldn't have shaken her up like that.
" It's fine. Don't blame yourself, you couldn't have known about it. "
" How do you know I was blaming myself ? "
" I'm an empathy, remember. "
" Oh yeah. " Jason replied with a sheepish smile.
Phoebe took a sip of the ice tea she had ordered earlier. It tasted peachy with a hint of sugar. She remembered another ice tea she had drunk. It had been with Cole. She had bumped into him at the law firm and he had offered to take out for a drink, which he had done so at noon that day. This ice tea tasted almost the same . . .
Suddenly, Phoebe was hit with a vision.
-- Premonition --
A scroll being handed to a pair of hands.
A hand-shake.
Mist. Lot's of it.
A crown.
A pair of hands lighting a white candle.
A mystical storm.
Leaping flames.
An athame.
-- Premonition --
" Phoebe ? " Jason was shaking her wrist. He looked worried. Dead worried.
" Huh ?! What ?! " she was panting. The force of that vision was overwhelming.
" What's the matter ? " Jason was worried.
Is this tied to the magical mishap today ? I hope it is. I don't want anything bad to happen to her .
" I had a premonition. " she said still in shock.
" About what ? " He was curious, " Demons ? "
" No. I'm not sure about what. But I know it was significant."
" You spilt some tea on yourself. "
" Oh. Silly me ! " she reached out for a napkin, when someone caught her eye. He looked familiar. She hadn't seen him for a while. They had vanquished him hadn't they ? So why was she seeing Cole at that moment ?
Well that's it. Having exams at the moment. Will try to update sooner. Thanks for the reviews people. You guys made my day. Trust me, nothing makes you glow more than FOUR new reviews. : ) My next chappies may be short but at least I'm writing. Ciao !
