A while later Leo was ready. He read the spell and hoped that the shield was down. He then orbed and found himself in a dark room with nothing in it except a shadow in the corner.
"Chris, is that you?" Leo asked, hoping that the three sisters weren't right and that Chris hadn't set him up.
"Leo?" Chris asked.
It sounded like he had been crying. Leo was getting worried. He couldn't see anything here.
"Chris are you all right?" Leo ran over to his hunched up figure.
"Leo, I'm fine." Chris said.
"You don't sound fine. You sound like you've been crying or something. Are you hurt?"
"No it's not me Leo. Now orb we out now before he gets here."
"Before who gets here?"
"Just do it now." He sounded so desperate. Leo took his hands and orbed him to the Halliwell attic.
"Now can you tell me who is after you?" Leo asked.
"Not yet. I need to go," Chris said. He was about to orb when Leo grabbed him.
"You can't keep running Chris, tell me now."
"I promise I will but my charges are in trouble. I need to go and I need your help still. You have to come with me."
Leo didn't listen to all of that. He just listened to the fact that charges were in trouble and Leo could help. The two orbed away.
"Stop!" Leo shouted.
"Oh, look you brought daddy," Wyatt said.
Leo looked confused but didn't ask any questions. He had to help save the charge.
Wyatt went to kill the woman and then Chris shouted, "Wait! It's me you want. Don't kill her. Take my powers off me and don't kill another charge. Please!"
As soon as those words were out of Chris's mouth, Wyatt dropped the girl. "I'll take you up on that offer!" he laughed and then with a ray of red light took Chris's powers. Leo stood watching shocked as the scene unfolded. Chris dropped to the floor – powerless and the other guy who Leo had no clue was his son blinked away.
Leo ran over to the girl and when he saw she was fine ran to Chris.
"Chris are you all right? Who or what was that?"
Chris seemed out of it so Leo orbed him to the Halliwell manor but up o the attic so the girls didn't know they were there. He then placed his hands over the unconscious Chris and healed him. "Hey buddy. You OK?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Where are we?"
"In the attic," Leo said. "Now, are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, I suppose. Thanks man. I have to go."
"Chris. You promised you'd explain."
"I can't. You know what the Elders are like. They said that I couldn't tell anyone. It could change the future."
"Chris. I don't want to rub your nose in it but the Elders can't do anything now that you're mortal. So just tell me and why did that warlock or demon whoever he was. Why did he say you brought your dad? Does he not know who I am?"
"You might not believe this but here goes. Leo I'm your son and so was he. That is Wyatt. Grown up and from the future and when Piper gets pregnant with another of your children soon. That'll be me. So now you know who I truly am."
The two sat quiet for about 5 minutes but for them it felt like 5 hours.
"Well say something, dad," Chris said.
"You come here tell me my son is going to turn evil and that you're my son and you expect me to believe it. Well, what do you want me to say? Hi, son?"
"It's a start," Chris said then shrugged. "You know. I know it's a lot to take in but if you really don't believe me then go and ask the Elders."
"I will," Leo orbed off and Chris walked downstairs.
Phoebe was sitting in the kitchen on her own looking at the newspaper for jobs when Chris walked in.
"Hey," Chris said. "Where is Piper and Paige?"
"Um… Piper is out shopping and Paige is in her room," Phoebe said.
"Cool. What you doing?" Chris asked.
"Looking for a job," Phoebe replied.
"Oh well. Good luck," Chris said and then he went to see Paige.
He got to Paige's room and knocked on the door then entered. Paige was sitting on the bed reading a book.
"Hey," Chris said. "I just wanted to tell you. I know that you and the rest of the family don't believe me about Wyatt being evil but it's true and today me and Leo were fighting with him and he took my powers."
"You know you are so right," Paige said. "I don't believe any of this."
"Paige, please. This is serious and if you don't listen to me he'll turn us all evil."
"I don't know what to believe anymore, Chris."
At that point Leo orbed in.
"Believe him, Paige. He's telling the truth and if you want to know who he really is then he can tell you himself because I just checked with the Elders and it's the truth."
"OK. So tell me Chris who are you?"
"I'm Wyatt's younger brother from the future."
"But Wyatt doesn't have a brother." Paige said getting confused and shocked.
"Not yet he doesn't," Chris replied.
"Look," Paige shouted. "I am sick to death of all this confusing magic and stuff. I don't care whether the Elders believe you or not. I don't so just leave me alone. I follow my own instinct so just get lost. Both of you!" With that she stomped out of the room.
Chris and Leo tried Phoebe. They had the same outcome apart from the fact that Phoebe flung them out of her room instead of walking away. They then tried their last hope. Piper. Then in a sudden moment everything got much, much, much worse for Chris. Piper turned the only person who knew he was right and believed and trusted him against him.
"Listen Leo. I don't care about the Elders. Choose between your supposedly little son and me because quite frankly I'm sick and tired of becoming last in all your other cases so think hard about this."
"Ok, you've made your point," Leo said quietly. He then turned around and looked at Chris. "I'm sorry Chris but…"
"Just save it Leo. I could've helped this family but you've refused everything from me so just don't bother saying anymore." Chris walked out and slammed the door. Leo sighed and then Piper said, "What's wrong? Did you make the wrong choice because Leo I'm telling you if you have any doubts then that's is fine by me. I don't need you."
"It's not the fact that I made the wrong choice, Piper. It's the fact that you made me choose." Leo then also orbed out.
