This is a made up storyline that would not leave my head at all. So, I had to go with it. this will take place right before they vanquish the Source this might be a two parter. The second part may be a later episode of This season
In this episode A LOT is going on. Yes, Michael goes undercover again. But will it change his life? If so, is it for the better or the worst? Also, I want to point out that Paige's magic is advancing in this episode. As I stated before I wanted her to progress in magic a lot quicker than she originally did. So yes, she is able to learn how to orb in this episode. How ever it is only limited to bringing one passenger for right now. I am going to dwell on the similarities between Paige and Michael this season and also, there differences. There magic, there knowledge.
The reason I am doing what I said in the above statement is because someone pointed out to me that with Michael there, there is really no need for Paige. However I wanted to make this a Power of Four story so I added her in. they also said Paig and Michae were a lot alike. So I am going to explore that dynamic in the second half of this season and the first half of season 5.
A lot of Paige bonding with people in this episode. Which I was excited to write.
Read to find out more!
P.S I am still working on re editing my old chapters but it is going to take time. As I have two jobs and am struggling to write lately.
Witches and Criminals
San Francisco PD
Michael stood in front of Andy and Darryl as they explained a case to him. "Kalvin Ramirez, taken from his home by a serial kidnapper." Andy explained as he pointed to various photos in the folder.
"No one knows what this guy looks like." Darryl added in. "We only got a brief description."
Michael looked at the two detectives, "Excuse me?" He started. "I have homework. And besides, I haven't been undercover since I reversed time and almost died from it."
"You afraid you won't be good at it?" Andy joked with a small laugh.
"Exactly." Michael said. "you're the one who told me to slow down. To be a kid." He argued.
"Mikey," Andy started without raising his voice as Michael began to walk away. "A kid is in danger." He added.
Michael stopped in his tracks. using my own weakness against me. He thought . He turned around, "Okay. Do you have anything of his?" He asked.
"Yes." Darryl said as he gave Michael a picture of the boy. "Okay, you and Zeke need too…"
"Zeke's in Atlanta visiting family," Michael stated. "I can do this on my own." Michael said taking the picture and running off down the hall before the two detectives had a chance to stop him.
Halliwell Manor
Prue and Paige stood in the attic as they were going through some old family albums. "This is one of me and my parents," Paige stated as she showed the photo to Prue.
"Oh my. You were beautiful." Prue said with a smile. She looked at one of her own. "Here is one with me and Grams."
"Aww." Paige gushed. "I can't wait to meet your Grams." Paige stated just as the telltale shimmer of a flame appeared.
Michael flamed in, "Oh hi." He said to the two sisters.
"Mikey, what are you doing here?" Prue asked.
"Helping Andy." He stated as he walked over to the map and picked up the scrying crystal.
Prue put the photo album down and walked over to him, "What do you mean?" She asked.
"Andy and Darryl are tracking a kidnapping suspect and they want me to go undercover," He stated.
"By yourself?" Prue asked. "Okay, why don't I go with you…" She began but was cut off.
"Uh-uh." Michael nodded. "I promised Andy I wouldn't bring you with anymore. You remember that conversation."
Prue shook her head, "But I was pregnant at the time," She argued.
"Doesn't matter," Michael stated and focused back on the scrying.
"Okay," Paige piped up as she walked over to them. "So, why don't I go with you? He hasn't said anything about me," She added.
"It's dangerous," Michael said. "Besides, I will have to be very rough with who I bring. Which is why Zeke is usually the one to go," He added.
"Danger is my friend," Paige quipped. "Why isn't Zeke going?" She asked slightly confused.
"He's in Atlanta," Michael stated as he saw the puppy dog eyes Paige was giving him. "Fine." He stated. "But the minute things go bad I am bringing you straight home." He said.
"Okay," Paige stated.
Michael swung the crystal over the map as he held the photo. He looked over at Prue, "Who's watching Sophie?" He asked.
"Piper and Leo." She answered. "Phoebe is out with Cole. When they get back Piper and Leo are going out."
"Date night?" Michael asked.
Prue shook her head, "Mhmm,"
The crystal dropped on the map, "Gotcha," Michael stated as he put the picture down on the table. And put something in his ear and another thing inside his mouth that rest on his teeth. "Let's go," Michael said as he grabbed Paige. "Tell the others we will be back later. Oh and don't tell Andy I brought Paige. I don't want him flipping out on you." He stated as he flamed out.
Opening Credits
Alley
Michael and Paige flamed into an Alley where the crystal pointed too. There was a huge building across the street that no one used. It looked old and won out. "What did you put in your mouth and ear?" Paige asked curiously as she crouched down next to him. He was also crouched down.
"It allows me to get into contact with Andy and Darryl. To get information from the suspects. I used it once when I found Jake." He explained and Paige looked at him confused. "Oh right. You haven't met him yet." He stated. He handed out his hands and gave Paige something. "Take this," He ordered lightly.
"The ear piece?" She asked as she put it in her ear.
"It will help be in contact with you. don't confuse it with my telepathy." He stated.
"What do we need to do?" Paige asked.
"A little eager, are we?" Michael quipped with a laugh. "We need to find this boy that Andy and Darryl told me about. I have no idea what I am looking for." He added.
"Do you always go undercover without the full details?" She asked.
Michael shook his head, "Sometimes I astral to Andy and give him clues on what to look for to help…" He stated.
"Then why are we here?" Paige asked a little disappointed about the situation.
"To find clues," He said. "Andy wants me to see if it's a demon or a warlock that took the boy or just some dumb idiot," He explained. "Something isn't right," he stated as he looked around.
"How do you know?" Paige asked him.
Michael looked at her and they walked farther into the alley, "Because, the crystal was supposed to tell me where the boy is and he obviously isn't here." He stated.
"Maybe it brought you to where the picture was taken instead of to the boy," Paige offered.
Michael looked at her with a small smile, "You are getting pretty good at this magic stuff." He stated.
Paige looked away and said, "I learn from the best." She said with a smile. "I learn from you,"
Michael smiled, "Thanks." He said.
"Why don't we go home and try scrying again," She suggested.
"Good idea," He stated as they joined hands.
"HELP!" Was heard from afar. "Help me someone." The voice said.
"Paige, do you hear that?" Michael asked as he turned towards a parked car down the road.
"yeah, it sounds like a little kid." She stated.
A man walked out of a store with a bag, "Dammit. I cant tell whats in that bag." Michael stated.
"That's just my kid. He likes to play jokes like this." The man forced a smile and got into his car and drove off.
"There has to be an accomplice." Paige stated. "Most bad guys have one." Michael turned to her with a rather impressed look. "I learned a few things in college. I took a course of criminology." She added.
"Awesome." Michael said with a smile. "But if we are going to blend in. we have to look and act the part." Michael said as he snapped his fingers. Flames surrounded him and when they vanished he was no longer in his outfit he wore. Instead he was wearing black jeans with a black shirt and a leather jacket.
"Whoa," Paige stated.
"I picked up a few things from demons." He stated and snapped his fingers again. Paige was surrounded by flames. When they vanished she no longer looked like the Paige we all know. Instead she was dressed in a leather top with a leather coat. And some black pants. "We need to follow that car." He stated.
"What about the gas station? Where the car was parked?" Paige asked.
"I'm on it." Michael said as he put a hand to his ear and began to walk. "Andy. Darryl. Come in," He stated.
"Michael?" Andys voice stated through the ear piece. "Your status?" He asked.
Michael rolled his eyes slightly, "Not the time Andy. Send a car to a gas station," He stated. "Paige and I are going after the car." He added.
"Wait, Paige," Andy's voice said but was cut off as Michael muted the ear piece.
The car stopped outside a house a few blocks away, the man got out and harshly pulled a boy out of the car. He looked around for anyone following him. He then went into the house.
Michael and Paige were a block away and saw the car. "There," Paige stated with a point to the car.
"I see it. Paige, be a look out." Michael replied. As soon as they got to the car. They saw a rope through the window. He tried to open the door but it was locked. "Ugh, its locked," He said. "Where is Prue when you need her?" He asked himself.
"Mikey," Paige said. "Someone is coming," She stated.
"HEY!" A mans voce said.
"Crap," Michael said and looked towards the source of the voice to find a man carrying a sleeping boy and another man right behind him.
"What are you doing?" The man asked.
"uh," Michael stuttered. It wasn't like him to stutter. But luckily Paige came to the rescue.
"I'm sorry. when I drove by at the gas station I scratched your car. I came to see if you wanted my insurance." She stated in an unusual voice.
The second man pulled out a few hundred dollar bills and handed them to Paige. "This should cover it." he stated. "Now, leave." He ordered.
"We're going sir," Michael said and pulled Paige along beside him as they walked over to a car. "Nicely done Paige," Michael said. "I am very impressed." He said as he pulled her behind a bush. "Ah!" He hissed as he grabbed his head.
"What is it?" Paige asked worried.
Michael took the ear piece out of his ear. And dropped it on the ground. "Frequency jammers. Those guys must have had one." He stated.
Paige looked over the bush, "uh, Mikey," Paige said but was cut off as Michael flamed the two of them out.
The two men watched Paige and Michael leave. One of them was watching them, a little to much, "What is it?" The man with the boy asked after he put him in the car.
"Something doesn't feel right. They didn't even drive here, Ed." The second one said.
The man, now known as Ed, watched them as they went behind some bushes, "You think they're cops?" He asked.
The second man shook his head, "No. The woman might be. But that was definetly a kid."
"we will keep an eye out for any tails," Ed said as he got into the car.
"Wait here," The second one said as he ran towards the bushes Paige and Michael went too. He walked behind the bush. "Odd." He stated to himself. He looked around and saw the ear piece on the ground. He picked it up and scanned it. he pocketed it and ran back to the car.
Halliwell Manor
Piper, Prue and Leo were all in the living room while Prue fed Sophie. "how was the date?" Prue asked her younger sister.
Piper looked at her and smiled, "It was great. Its nice to be able to get out like a normal person." She said.
"I wish Andy and I could. The station has been piling cases on him and Darryl lately." Prue stated.
"How bad is it?" Piper asked her.
"Bad enough to where Andy had to enlist Michaels help." Prue stated. "He is actually out undercover right now."
"Zeke's back in town?" Leo asked.
Prue shook her head. "No. he took Paige." She said just as Flames appeared.
Piper looked at the arrival of the flames and prepared to blow the intruder up but halted when Paige and Michael became corporeal. "Why are we back here?" Paige asked.
"I need a new ear piece." Michael stated as he took off up the stairs.
Prue turned to Paige, "Did you find the boy?" She asked.
Paige sat down next to her, "Yes." She answered. "But we were caught when we searched the car." She added.
"Oh." Piper groaned.
Michael came back down the stairs and joined the conversation. "Which is why we need to go back. That boy could be in danger." He said.
"Piper, go with them," Prue ordered.
Piper blinked in surprise, "What?" She asked.
"They may need extra firepower or you freezing power." Prue explained.
"Come on," Michael said as he grabbed Paige's arm.
Piper got up and kissed Leo, "I will be all right." She stated. "Prue always is," She added with a smirk to her sister. She went and grabbed Michaels arm. Since she was already dressed in black. She had black shirt and black pants on. They flamed out.
"You think they will be okay?" Leo asked her.
Prue shook her head as she started rocking Sophie to sleep, "Piper and Paige yes. But Mikey. He always ends up hurt. And his self healing hasn't been active lately." She explained.
"I will heal him. I will listen carefully for there call." He said with a smile.
The house the kidnappers were at
Piper, Michael and Paige all flamed in down the street. They noticed the car was now gone. "Good. No one is home." Michael stated as he ran up to the front lawn of the house. Piper and Paige close behind him.
Michael started to open the door, "Your just going to walk in?" Piper asked in disbelief.
"Duh," Michael said as he pushed the door open. "Okay we need to be quiet we don't know if any one is in here," he added.
"Anybody in here!" Piper yelled. Hands ready to freeze if necessary
Michael rolled his eyes, "Piper," He cried. He looked around the living room of the household. "this place looks like there had been a fight."
"I will look for any blood or anything that could be blood," Paige said and searched the dining room.
"This place is filthy," Piper stated as she was on her tiptoes trying not to get anything on her shoes.
"oh piper, you're such a girl," Michael quipped with a small smile.
"Mikey!" Paige called from another room.
"what?" He asked as he and Piper made there way into where Paige was.
Paige looked at a wall with a hole in it. someone had punched it. "someone has anger issues." She stated. "But that's not why I called you in here. Look," She said and pointed to a door.
Michael went and pushed at the door but to no avail. It wouldn't budge. Obviously locked that can only be opened with a key. "Dammit." He stated. "Take my hand." He said preparing to flame into the other room.
Paige rolled her eyes, "Unlock!" She yelled and blue and white lights appeared on the lock and the door opened.
"Nice Paige." Michael said and held Pipers hand on the way in. Paige grasped his other hand.
"Whoa," Piper said worriedly as the room they were in looked like a dungeoun. Barred windows. A light blanket on a what looked like a wodden bed. And a bowl of water. "This looks like a prison." She stated.
"But where are they now…?" Michael asked.
Paige picked up a photo and looked at it while they heard the front door open. "Oh." Piper said
"Paige," Michael said as he saw the photo. It was of the boy with his hands behind his back and a huge bruise on his face. "Oh, my god." He added.
"We need to get out of here," Michael said and flamed his two passengers and himself out.
A man with a gun entered the room. He searched the room and walked over to the picture that was on the floor. He knew his partners would never leave it in plain sight.
Kidnappers Car
The kidnappers were in the front of the vehicle while the boy, Kalvin, lied in the back of the van with his hands tied behind him. "What if we were compromised?" The second kidnapper said. "What if we are caught?" He asked.
"We wont be. And once we get to Santa Barbra. Nothing will stop us. We can start over there." Ed, the first kidnapper explained.
"But what about the kid. Its not like we can just take him with us." The second one said.
"We have to." Ed said. "We cant have him going to the police." He added. "Or the others."
"What if that woman we saw today was a cop. I found an ear piece on the ground. It looked government issued." The second one explained. "And what about how they just vanished out of thin air. There wasn't an alley or street on the other side of those bushes.
Suddenly there was a ringing the surrounded the air. "Yeah." The second kidnapper answered. "Hold on." He turned to Ed. "Did you leave a picture of the brat on the table?" he asked.
"The picture we took to send to his parents? No it was on the floor." Ed answered.
"I'm telling you Ed it was that lady and that kid." The second kidnapper said. "Oh. A lady side swiped our car earlier and there wasn't a scratch and she wanted to see if we needed her information." He explained and hung up the phone. "Okay keep us updated."
"What?" Collin asked.
"The room we kept the kid in was unlocked. I swear I locked it." Ed stated.
Collin made a thoughtful look, "I guess we have to go back and kidnao the kid and the woman." He stated as he slammed on the breaks and turned around in the windowless fan.
Halliwell Manor
Phoebe and Cole walked into the house "Anybody home?" Phoebe yelled as she closed the door behind her.
"In here!" Prue's voice drifted from the solarium.
Phoebe walked into the solarium and saw Prue sitting across from Leo as they waited for any update on Michael. "Hey, where is everyone?" She asked as she took a seat next to her sister.
"Mikey is out undercover. He wanted Paige and Piper to go with him. Since they never gone before." Prue explained as she held a sleeping Sophie in her arms.
"I never got to go with," Phoebe stated in a baby voice.
"You were on a date," Prue argued.
Phoebe thought for a minute, "Well, why don't we go find them and help them." Phoebe stated as she got up.
"But who will watch Sophie?" Prue stated as she got up.
Leo stood up and took Sophie, "I will. You guys go." He said. "Hi," He said in a baby voice to Sophie.
Phoebe took Prue's arms, "Cole will stay here as well. He doesn't need to be in the line of danger with no powers." She explained. "If Andy flips out I will take full blame." She promised.
Prue looked at her, "Fine." She stated. "But how will we find them?" She asked.
Phoebe walked over to the table and took the scrying crystal. She swung it over the map. "I will scry for them." She stated. "But if he is flaming all over the place it'll be difficult to reach him." She added. "He needs to realize we are in this together. All of us. Magical or no."
P3 nightclub
Michael, Piper and Paige flamed into the empty nightclub. It was just an hour before it opened. "Okay, we need to find a better approach." He stated.
"Like what?" Piper asked.
Michael thought for a moment, "we split up." He said and they looked confused. "In other words. You guys hide behind something while I search and try talking to the boy. Like a lookout."
Piper shook her head, "But if something happens to you…"
"Nothing will happen." Michael stated. "this isn't my first undercover attempt Piper,"
"I know. But…" Piper started.
Michael looked at her, "You don't think I can do this?" He asked.
"You're the one who wanted a shot at a normal Life, Mikey." Piper argued. "You're the one who wanted one after that tumor nearly destroyed you." She added. "Let us help you. I have the power to freeze and Paige can orb. You have various powers. We can do this." She argued.
"Your right." He said. "Lets go. But we need to be careful and smart about this." He said as he flamed them out once again.
The Kidnappers Car (Another Gas station)
Michael, Paige and Piper, flamed into the alley behind the gas station. "Okay, you guys stay behind me at all times." He said. "I will nudge you if you need to freeze something. He said and they took off towards the front of the gas station.
They all held hands and they walked into the gas station everything seemed normal except for an old plumbing van that was parked outside the door.
They walked into an aisle and pretended to check something out. "How much for this?" He asked as he held up some chips.
"He liked chips," Piper stated.
"Read the sign kid." The cashier said.
"Whoa. Rude." Michael said as he put it back.
"Maybe we should look outside again. That plumbing van looked suspicious." Piper said as they walked outside. The three of them felt a sharp pain in the back of their necks. Before nyone had realized what happened darkness surrounded them as they fell to the floor outside of the surprisingly unbusy gas station.
"He's working with the cops." One of the kidnappers said. "We take him. Take him to the others." He ordered. "Those two as well."
"But, Collin, what if there is a tracking device on them?" Ed asked.
Collin, the second kidnapper looked at him, "Then we search him. There has got to be a guarantee the cops won't find him. Or the others." He growled.
Ed looked at him, "Are we using them as ransom?" He asked.
"One million dollars." Collin stated as he picked Michael up and opened the car door.
"What if they don't have it," Ed asked as he picked up an unconscious Paige.
Collin smirked, "Then I guess he is our newest slave." He said as he closed the door to the car and then got in. But not before picking up Piper and putting her into the van as well.
Back in the alley, there was a flash of pink and red as Astral Prue appeared. "Mikey?" she called out.
She walked to the front of the building in time to see the van speed out of the parking lot. "Hey!" she called and looked around for something. She saw a crowbar on the ground and waved her hand. The crowbar didn't move at all. She couldn't use her power in astral form. The van sped off around the corner as she disappeared in a flash of red and pink.
Commercial Break
Gas station
Phoebe and Prue sped to the gas station as fast as they could and got out of the car after slamming on the breaks. "How did you know to call?" Darryl asked.
"I astral projected here in time to see a van speed off." Prue stated. "Where is my husband?" She asked slightly annoyed with her friend.
"He is checking the security footage…" Darry stated before Prue and Phoebe took off into the security room to meet andy.
"and he walked in here and then vanished?" Andy interrogated the employee who was standing before him.
"Your looking at the tape detective. You are seeing exactly as I am." The employee stated bluntly.
"Andy," Phoebe said as she and Prue walked into the room.
"You cant be in here," The employee stated kind of harshly. "My manager will…."
"Id like to see your manager tell me I cant be in here," Prue challenged and then turned to Andy.
"Prue," Phoebe soothed her name. "Its okay hunny," She stated and rubbed a hand on her older sisters back.
"My sisters and cousin are missing. How is it going to be okay?" Prue asked as she and Andy and Phoebe walked out of the area.
"Because Prue," Phoebe started as they were out of earshot so no one can eavesdrop. "We have something cops don't have. Magic. We can find them."
"We cant use magic to find them. we cant summon them because they are with mortals." Prue said her voice furious.
"Maybe. Maybe not." Phoebe stated. "I need to ask Leo to be sure. But maybe we can bring ourselves to them…like Paige did with the Prince and the Enchantress?" She stated.
Prue looked as if a huge truck lifted off of her, "That cpould work." She stated. "Okay, we need to go home and talk to Leo." She said and they walked out of the gas station. Two woman on a mission.
The Kidnappers Car
Michael came too in the back of the van. "Ah. Look who's awake," Collin said with a smirk from the drivers seat.
"What happened?" Michael asked as he realized his hands were tied behind him. "Where am I?" He asked he saw Piper and Paige next to him.
"Hell," Ed replied with a smirk as well.
Michael rolled his eyes, "Yeah. Right. I've been there. This aint it." He stated.
Collin smirked, "We'll see." He said.
Halliwell Manor
Prue and Phoebe stormed into eh house "Hey. What's going on?" Cole asked.
"Mikey, Paige and Piper are missing." Prue stated.
Phoebe grabbed a piece of Paper, "We need to write a spell to take us to them." she stated.
"Wait a minute." Cole said.
"What?" Prue asked.
Cole looked at her, "Why don't you try going to the house they were at before. To try and get an idea as to where they could be. I will fill Leo in." Cole said as he handed them a piece of paper. "Whats this?" Phoebe asked concerned.
Cole shrugged, "I guess Mikey dropped in when he came to pick up Piper." He stated. "Its an address."
"Lets go Pheebs." Prue stated and roughly grabbed her hand and they walked out.
Kidnappers Hideout
Michael was pulled out of the car roughly, "Hey, easy on the hair, it took me an hour to get it to stay like this." He ordered.
"Shut up kid," Collin said as he dragged Michael, Paige and Piper, harshly to the door of the extremely large building.
They walked inside and Michael saw maybe five or six kids with there hands above there heads with chains on them. some were 15 or 16 but the others seemed to be around 13 and under. others had shackles on there feet. "What have I gotten into?" He whispered to his cousins.
Collin shoved him to the floor and grabbed a shackle, "Your ours now kid." He stated and put the shackle on his foot. "Try anything. And your dead." He added. "Same goes for you two." He said to Piper and Paige as there feet became shackled.
"Right. And I assume these kids haven't tried anything." Michael retorted.
Collin sneered at the comment and tuned to his partner, "Go back and tell him we no longer need his help. We have the kid of a cop. He will get them off our backs." He stated with a point to Michael. "And we get our ransom money from every single parent and then we flee." He turned to Paige and Piper, "We will kill you two. Maybe even this brat of yours, cop." He sneered to Paige.
"That wont work." Michael stated as he was not in a sitting position.
"Why is that?" Ed asked.
Michael looked up at him, "There are forces beyond my control coming after you." He stated obviously referring to Prue and Phoebe.
Colling grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, "Don't get smart with us kid. We are dangerous." He said and threw Michael into the wall. "Don't move." He stated and walked out of the room with his partner.
"Mikey," Paige quietly yelled. "Are you okay?" She asked.
"I am fine." He stated. "we cant use magic to escape or we risk exposing it.
"You really think Prue and Phoebe will save us?" Piper asked.
Michael shrugged and got into a sitting position again he looked at a boy, he seemed around his age, "Is your name Kalvin?" he asked.
"No. Connor. Now please don't talked or they will beat us both." The boy named Connor pleaded.
"I'm not afraid of them." Michael asked. "That only gives them the power to do whatever they want. I am taking a stand." He said as he was sat down, "Metaphorically,"
Connor looked at him as Michael was still sitting down, "How?" He asked.
"I cant tell you how." Michael said. "You'll just have to trust me."
"No offense." Connor said. "I don't trust anyone anymore. Not one person in the last few months. Ever since I ended up here." He added. "Now please be quiet." He pleaded.
"Shut up in there or I will beat every one of you." One of the voices said.
"Connor, come on buddy. What do they do to you?" Michael asked as he stood up and tried to undo the chains.
"Never call me buddy." He said. "We aint friends. We never will be..." He said.
Michael was grabbed from behind, "Seems we need to teach you a little lesson." Collin said. "Ed. Bring me my crowbar." He ordered. A few moments later Ed came in with a crowbar, "Bad boys need to be punished." Collin said as he grabbed the crowbar. All Paige and Piper could do was watch.
Michael gulped right now he wished Andy was right outside but the sound of nothing surrounded the area. Pip…he thought but lost his train of thought as he was whacked in the face with the crowbar. Phoebe! Prue! HELP! He thought in his head.
Collin waved the crowbar again and hit Michael in the face once again. Michael's face was now bloody. "You going to behave?" Collin asked.
Michael looked at Collin dead in the eye, "Go screw yourself." He said. He was caught off guard as the crowbar hit his stomach. "Ah!" Michael yelled. "Do your worst. I've been thrown through a concrete wall. and I have endured excruciating pain when I got rid of a brain tumor. Good luck." He stated.
Kidnappers house
Prue and Phoebe got out of the now parked vehicle and stood outside the hosue. "that's it?" Phoebe asked. "I was expecting something a little more impressive." She state da sshe and her sister walked for the door.
"Oh Phoebe," Prue stated with a sigh. They approached the door and found it locked.
"Hello?!" Phoebe yelled and knocked on the door. As if someone would answer it. No one did. No car was in the driveway.
"Because that's what we want." Prue stated with a roll of her eyes. "A kidnapper knowing we are onto them." She added.
"Well, how do you propose we get in?" Phoebe asked.
Prue smirked a little bit and threw her hand forward, the door burst opened. "Oh, yeah," Phoebe muttered.
"We stay together. In case we need to run and I can throw anyone who is in the house." Prue staed and linked arms with her younger sister. Phoebe! Prue! Help! Flooded there minds. "Mikey?" Phoebe asked and looked around.
"Pheebs." Prue started. "That was telepathy it was in your head. She said and looked at some of the stuff on a table. She found an old little leather book. "Phoebe." She stated and grabbed the book. Taking her arm away from her sister and looked inside it.
"What is that?" Phoebe asked.
Prue shook her head, "It looks to be a book on witchcraft. Although nothing we have done. This is voodoo rituals. Dark magic. Powerful stuff. maybe an evil witch is an accomplice." She suggested.
"Let me see that?" Phoebe asked and took the book. As she did she was pulled into a premonition
Premonition
She saw flashes of two guys and a woman. Michael being beaten with a crowbar while Paige and Piper watched helplessly. And a flash of another guy. Four criminals. And of several kids chained to walls and a few others with chains on there feet. Then she saw flashes of a building before the vision ended.
End of Premonition
Phoebe looked at her sister "Whoa," She stated.
"What?" Prue asked.
"I saw…" Phoebe stated but was cut off.
"Who are you?!" a male voice yelled.
Prue and Phoebe turned around and saw what looked to be a well fit man with a gun in his hands. Hw looked as if he was your average neighborhood person. "Uh," Phoebe stuttered.
Prue's response was to roll her eyes and swing her arm forward. The man went soring backwards into a wall. he was left un harmed and got up. "Okay, that didn't work." Prue stated.
The man got up and aimed his gun at her. Unaware Phoebe was already behind him at this point. "Hey," She called out and he turned around and swung at her. She levitated into the air. The swing of his arm was enough for him to lose his balance hitting air. Phoebe got down to her feet and saw a basement door. "Prue," She yelled.
Prue looked at where Phoebe was looking at a door. "hey," Prue said and swung her arm out again and sent the man flying down the stairs landing on the concrete. "Lets go," Prue stated as she and Phoebe ran out of the house.
Kidnappers hideout
Michael was now hung from the ceiling with his hands above his head and a huge bruise and blood on his face. "That'll teach you." Collin said.
Collin and Ed left the room and Michael turned towards Connor. "I am with the police. We will all get out of here." He promised as his head hit his chest.
"Really?" Collin said as he took another swing with the crowbar.
"He's serious." Piper stated she had to refrain from freezing the criminals until Michael said it was okay to do so.
Halliwell Manor
Prue and Phoebe walked into the house and went into the living room where Cole, Andy and Leo were. "What's going on?" Andy asked.
"We have something of one of the bad guys. We are going to use it to scry for them." Phoebe stated and grabbed the scrying crystal.
Suddenly the book of shadows opened to the summoning spell there was a slight wind and a redish glow in front of the group as Astral Michael appeared. "Prue," he said as he was barely able to stand.
"Mikey," Prue yelled and ran towards him to help him stay balanced. "Sweetheart, what happened?" She asked as she saw the bloody face and bruise.
"Mikey, dear?" Phoebe said.
Astral Michael looked at them with fear, "They beat me, they beat all of us. It's a matter of time before Piper and Paige are next." He stated.
"Where are you sweetie?" Phoebe asked.
Michael shook his head, "You cant." He stated. "They'll attack you." He added.
"Was it a demon?" Paige asked.
"Demons. No." he stated.
"Ah!" Leo said as he felt a pain in his chest. "He's right. There beating him. I can feel his pain. You have to find him." Leo said as he got to his knees.
"Mikey, sweetie, Please," Phoebe pleaded. "Where are you?" She asked.
"One two three…" He stated as he astral projected out.
Phoebe turned to Leo, "Can you sense him?" She asked as she continued to scry.
"We need to find him. Mikey told me, that powerful witches don't need things to scry for blood relatives. Right?" Phoebe asked.
Leo looked at her impressed, "That's right."
"WWMD" Phoebe whispered to herself.
"Dammit. Leo, what do you think we should do?" Prue asked.
"I think you both already know." Leo stated.
"We call ourselves to him." Prue stated. "We have to re work the summoning spell to take us to him." She said as she went to the book.
"Okay, I'll keep scrying" she said as Prue sat next to her with the Book of Shadows.
A few minutes later Prue finished the make shift spell and the crystal landed on the map. "Got him. Let's say this spell." Phoebe stated as she joined her sister and said the spell.
Kidnappers Hideout
Michael stood there bloody and bruised. "That all you got?" He asked his two kidnapers.
Collin sneered, "I can't get through to him." He stated and took off into another room.
Mikey. Piper thought. She wanted to make sure her cousin was okay.
Suddenly a woman walked through the door, "Sorry I'm late. My coven went longer than expected." The woman said in a country accent. She saw Michael. "And what have we here?" She asked as she held out her hand. "What a powerful young man you are," She stated. "Powerful magic all around" she added.
"What are you talking about?" Michael pretended to play dumb.
The woman placed a hand on his cheek, "I can sense you're a powerful being, all three of you." She stated.
Ed turned to this woman, "what do you sense in him Honey?" He asked. by now he was a little terrified of the result.
"As a witch practiconer I can sense high levels of magic." She explained.
The woman looked at Ed but before she could speak Collin came back in, "Could you get through to him?" He asked. "And how many times do I have to tell you. there is no such thing as magic." He sneered.
"Oh. I don't doubt that. I'm just an ordinary young man." Michael argued with a challenging look on his face.
"Mhmm." Collin stated a she pulled Ed into the kitchen along with the woman.
Michael watched them leave into the other room and then turned to Connor, "I can get you out of here. All of us out of here." He promised to his cousins.
"I've been here for months. I've given up hope on the second day I was here." He returned. "Now, I don't wanna get beaten anymore. I suggest you shut your trap before they come back in here." He returned harshly.
Michael narrowed his eyes, I am never gonna see my family again. Was repetitive in Connors mind. "What if I told you, you would see you family again?" Michael stated.
"Do not toy with me." Connor warned. "Why do you even care about me anyways. Aren't you looking for someone else?" He asked.
"Yes. But it is my job to protect the innocent." Michael stated.
Connor looked at him with pure hatred, "My uncle said the exact same thing before the de…" He stopped himself. "Never mind. Just shut up." He ordered.
Michael dropped his head to his chest and closed his eyes in defeat. He still had a boy to find. And none of these boys were the right one.
Outside the hideout
After tipping off Andy where the crystal landed, Prue said the spell with Phoebe.
Bright white lights swirled the area as Prue and Phoebe appeared outside the hide out. "Think it worked?" Phoebe asked aloud.
"Shh." Prue snapped. "We don't want them knowing we are here." She stated and looked inside the window.
Inside the hideout
Michael is still chained with his arms up off the chain from the ceiling. "You can hurt me all you want. I am not going to tell you who we are." He stated.
Collin looked at him, "You will. Now tell the truth," He ordered with another blow to the stomach.
Michael grunts and looked out the window and saw Prue. He narrowed his eyes and she knew exactly what he meant.
Outside
Prue looked at the warning Michael gave her, "Okay, he knows what we are thinking. We go in there as cue for Piper to freeze the bad guys. And get the kids out before Andy shows up," She stated.
"How?" Phoebe asked.
"we will know," Prue said as she walked up to the front door.
Inside
Michael grunted at the pain once more, "The truth!" Collin and Ed ordered at the exact same time.
Michael looked at the window and then back to Collin, he took a dee breath. "What you wanna know?" Michael asked.
"Who are you?" Ed asked. "You a cop?" he added.
Michael smirked at him, "I am someone who will be your worst nightmare when I am out of these chains," He said.
"its true," Paige stated.
"Shut your face!" Ed snapped at her.
At the same time Collin punched him in the stomach again, "WHY?!" He asked.
"Do you wanna know who I really am?" Michael asked. "Fine. I am a very powerful being with a family of witches in and outside right now. Along with half of the Police force." He explained quickly.
"Your lying!" Collin said he was about to punch him again but was cut off by the sound of police sirens.
"Am I?" Michael asked. just as Collin was at the door Michael shouted, "Prue Now!"
The door suddenly swung open. The door hit Collin and he was sent stumbling backwards. "What the hell?" Collin asked.
Prue revealed herself to him, "Not Hell, Prue." She stated and flicked her finger and sent him backwards into the wall.
Piper now able to throw her hands up after fiddling with the chains, froze the room. Ed, Collin and the woman froze along with the children in the room. Michael looked at the woman, "Witch Practiconer my ass." Michael stated.
Luckily the other kids froze as well so no one heard him. "Mikey, what have they done to you?" Phoebe asked with her hand cover her mouth.
Michael looked at her, it looked like one eye was closed and another was open. His face was very bloody and so did his chest. "Oh, I've been worse." He stated in a joking manner.
"We need to get you to Leo," Piper stated as she stood up.
"No. I was injured by mortal means not Magical." Michael stated.
Prue looked confused, "That rule was changed after I got pregnant." She argued.
"It's my choice. I won't let him." Michael stated.
Suddenly the entire room unfroze. Ed was behind Piper as he pushed her to the ground, "Hey!" Piper yelled.
Ed had a gun in his hand, "No more tricks," He stated and grabbed Michael. "Get against the wall or I will blow his brains out." He ordered.
Prue was about to wave her arm when she was knocked down by Collin. "I don't know how you're doing that. But you won't again," He stated as he cocked his own gun.
There were police sirens outside and the strobe lights were seen from the window. "This is the police! Come out with your hands up!" A voice said.
Ed looked at Collin, "Maybe we should just turn ourselves in. right here. Right now,." He stated
"Ed, come on, we have to get away. And we have the leverage to do so." Collin stated as he grabbed a weak Michael's arm. They walked outside and every gun was pointed at them, "Try anything and he dies!" He yelled to them.
Andy lowered his gun as he finally saw the state Michael was in. he never expected this to happen, "Drop your weapon!" He yelled.
"You drop your weapon!" Collin said as he aimed his own gun at Michael's head. "NOW!" He yelled.
Darryl put his hand on top of Andy's gun, "Trudeau, we have to let them. Michael will probably do that fire thing he does." He said.
Andy turned to him and hesitantly lowered his gun, "Morris." He whispered. "I'm scared." He admitted.
Darryl smirked, "You're not scared of anything," He stated.
"I am now. I don't know what we would do if we lost him. His self-healing hasn't worked well lately. If they shoot him. I just…" Andy explained.
"Shh." Darryl said. "Michael is a strong boy. He will get through this." He stated. "Magical or not," He added as the car sped off down the road.
An officer walked up to them, "Do we follow? It's your call boss," He said.
Andy looked at Darryl, "No. Morris and I do. We will set up a sting." He said. "You just help whoever is in that building." Andy ordered as he got into his own car.
Darryl smiled as he got in, "That's the Trudeau I know." He said.
Back inside the hideout Paige looked at the shackles on her and Piper's feet. "Shackles." She yelled and bright white and blue lights surrounded the shackles until they were no longer there. "Whoa," Came the response of many amazed children.
Connor seemed to be the oldest of the bunch looked at her, slight anger and slight shock, "How did you do that?" He asked.
"Not now sweetie." Prue stated as the police came in.
"That was close Paige," Piper snapped under her breathe. "Let's go find Mikey." She stated and stormed out of the building with her sisters close behind her.
Outside the building Piper walked up to Andy. "We follow." She stated as she got into the car. "Now people!" She snapped and they all got in. two in Andy's car and another in Darryl's.
The woods
It was midnight by this point and the car came to a stop and Ed and Collin got out and roughly pulled a weak Michael out of the car. "I don't know who you people are. But I don't want any of that magician crap again." Collin stated to Michael.
"Magician is so low level," Michael stated "We prefer witches." He stated.
Collin rolled his eyes and turned to Ed, "I think your girlfriend got to him," He stated.
"She isn't a witch, just a strong believer and she practices witchcraft," Ed explained.
"Whatever," Collin stated. "Are there anymore coming after us?" He asked.
Michael was hesitant to answer until he saw a car behind his captors with Prue getting out quietly. "Probably just a few more," Michael smirked.
"What are you smirking at?" Collin asked.
"Boulder!" Paige called as she got out of the car and a large rock that was sitting beside them was engulfed in blue and white lights and was sent hurtling towards the kidnappers
Phoebe and Darryl got out of the vehicle as well.
Collin and Phoebe joined in hand to hand combat while Paige ran towards Michael, "Uh uh," Ed said as he put the gun to Michael's head.
Paige just smirked, "Or what?" She asked as Ed cocked the gun.
"I will shoot him." Ed warned.
"Drop the gun!" Darryl ordered. He didn't have a clean shot without hitting Michael.
"I think not," Paige retorted quickly. "Michael!" She called.
Michael was engulfed in blue and white lights and orbed out of the kidnapper's grasp. He tried pulling the lights towards him but nothing happened.
Michael appeared next to Paige, "Took you long enough," He muttered.
"Hiya," Phoebe yelled as she kicked Collin in the groin. She levitated into the air and kicked him in the chest which sent his flying.
Collin flew through the air and landed on the ground harshly. He pointed at Phoebe, "Kill her!" He ordered.
Ed drew his gun again. "Pheebs," Michael muttered and ran and pushed her out of the way just as the gunshot was heard.
A few miles down
Prue, Piper, and Andy were running towards the car, "Is he still in there?" Piper asked.
Andy searched it the second he got to it, "No. he isn't." He stated.
Prue went to the trunk and flicked her finger and it opened, "He isn't back here either." She stated.
The gunshot echoed through the woods and everyone was on alert. "Mikey!" Piper yelled as she took off towards the sound of the gun.
"Piper! Don't!" Prue yelled as she followed her sister.
"Prue!" Andy yelled as he and Darryl followed them.
Where Ever Michael is
Michael fell to the ground with Phoebe, "You okay?" He asked her.
"Yeah. Must have been a dud," She stated calmly.
"Uh, Pheebs," Paige started.
Michael shook his head, "I don't think it was," He said as he laid flat on the floor. Phoebe looked at him with her hand to her mouth. Michael lied there with blood pooling out of his stomach.
"Mikey?" she asked a little teary.
"Pheebs," He said. "I'll be fine." He turned to Paige. "Paige, you got to orb me to the hospital." He stated.
"I can't orb. Only in the same spot." She admitted.
"Paige, you can. I will walk you through it." He said.
Collin stood up, "That's enough," He stated with his gun raised on all three of them. "Time for you two to join him sweethearts," He said and aimed the gun at Phoebe as Ed pulled out a knife and walked towards Paige.
Prue ran up to the scene at that moment and waved her arm. The two of them were sent flying. "Mikey!" She yelled.
"I-im fine P-Prue," He stated. "Take care of-of them," He added. He was beginning to barely talk. "P-P-Paige will take me to Leo." He added.
"Come on Prue, let's take care of these guys." Piper stated. "Which one of you shot my cousin!" She asked.
"That would be me princess," Collin smirked with his gun raised to her.
Piper looked offended at that statement and threw her hands out. Collin was sent soaring backwards as a flame hit his arm as Piper used her exploding power.
"Piper, he isn't a demon." Prue stated as she threw Ed across the way.
"So?" Piper asked as she froze the bullet that was heading towards her.
Michael turned to Paige, "P-Paige. Close your ey-eyes," He said. "Take my h-hand." He ordered gently.
Paige took his hand and closed her eyes, "Okay. Now what?" She asked.
"Clear your mind." He ordered. "Think of-of where you want to go. Th-think of your magic growing. Feel it building a-a-and building. P-P-Paige," Michael stated. He was getting slower and slower at talking. "You're my-my only chance," He added before he went silent.
"Mikey," Phoebe stated as she grabbed his arm to shake him awake. "MIKEY!" She yelled. She looked up at Paige, "Paige," she stated.
Before Paige even opened her eyes, she was engulfed in blue and white lights. The lights quickly spread to Michael and they disappeared. Phoebe, despite touching Michael but didn't orb away with them, turned to her other two sisters who were oblivious to the disappearance of their sister and cousin.
Prue kept sending the two men flying until she realized Phoebe walked up next to her. "Prue, Enough. Let Andy and Darryl take them in." she said.
Piper turned to her sister and froze the two kidnappers, "Didn't Mikey say there was a third guy?" She asked.
"I have no idea," Phoebe replied. "Wait, my vision." She stated.
Piper looked around, "Where is he?" She asked.
"Paige orbed him to the Manor," Phoebe replied in a cheery tone. "Paige orbed!" She yelled and jumped up and down. "this is a good thing guys. Her powers are advancing. We have just what we need to take on the source." She said.
Halliwell Manor
Leo sat down on the couch with Sophie in his hands, "Then I will huff and I will puff and I will blow your house down," He read in a baby voice to Sophie. He was about to read more when the space in front of him revealed a swirl of bright white and blue lights that deposited Paige and Michael in front of him.
"Leo, heal." Paige ordered as soon as they became corporeal. "They shot him," She explained.
Leo put Sophie in the basinet and ran over to Michael, "Where are the others?" He asked.
"Hurry, I think he stopped breathing," Paige exclaimed. "And Phoebe was touching his arm. I guess I'm not strong enough to move more than one person yet." She explained.
Leo hovered his hands over Michael and they began to glow, "He's going to be all right," He stated.
Paige looked at him curiously, "How do you know?" She asked.
Leo looked at her and smiled, "Because, his heart is still beating. As long as it is, I am able to heal." He explained.
Paige watched as the wound closed slightly but it was going very slowly. "Leo, it isn't working," She said.
"I know." He said and put his hands away from Michael. "The bullet must still be inside him." He explained. "Dammit. Where is Prue when you need her. We don't have time to do this ourselves." He stated.
Paige looked at the wound that was still pooling blood out of it. she knew she wasn't powerful enough to orb something she couldn't see but maybe, just maybe she was. She closed her eyes and concentrated, "Bullet," She yelled.
For a moment Leo was beginning to feel doubt but when Paige's palm of her hand glowed blue and white as the bullet orbed into her hand. "Hurry Leo." She stated. Leo held his hands over Michael who had his dead eyes open. "Leo, what is taking so long?" Paige asked.
"Paige," He stated. "I need to concentrate." Leo stated.
"Phoebe," A voice asked as Cole walked into the room. He saw Michael on the floor with blood pooling out. "What happened?" He asked.
"Criminals shot Mikey," Paige stated.
"Is he going to be okay?" Cole asked as he looked down at the wound that was sealing itself up.
"Yeah. He should be. But I cant heal his bruises or his scars." Leo stated.
Paige looked at him confused, "Why not?" She asked.
"Because, this isn't a magical injury Paige," He explained. "The only reason they are allowing me to heal him right now is because he is too much of a player for the good side. His death could shift the balance of power," Leo explained.
Leo's healing touch disapered and Michael's eyes fluttered open. "Paige, you did it," He stated. "You orbed." He said as he got up and they joined him.
"Is it all over?" Cole asked from his spot where he stood.
"Not even close. I didn't find the correct boy and I think there was a third accomplice." He stated as he sat down on the bed. His face was still bloody and hurt like hell.
"How do you know?" Paige asked.
"Because," Michael began. "When I was there at the hideout, I over heard that Collin guy on the phone with someone else. I think that is where the boy is. Still out there. alive." He stated.
"How are you going to find him?" Cole asked. "Without being healed completely your useless." He stated.
Michael stood up and stumbled over to Cole. "I am not useless," Michael stated.
"I am just saying," Cole began.
"I have a boy to find," Michael stated as he took off into another room with Paige closely behind him.
"Mikey," Paige called. "What are you going to do now. Your normally not like this." She continued.
"Zeke always keeps me in line. Tells me when I'm being stupid." Michael replied. He perked up and looked at Paige. "Am I being stupid?" He asked.
"No." Paige replied. And then a thought hit her. "Why don't we go to the boy's mothers house and see if his parents know anything. And then talk to other parents of the children." She offered.
"that's smart." Michael said with a smile. "Your fitting in nicely." He stated.
Paige smiled at the words he said. She's been wanting to hear that for a while. She always felt as if she didn't fit in. "Thanks, Hun." She said.
"Let's go." He said and took her hand. They waited a moment, and nothing happened. "I am far to weak to use my powers." He stated as he went to the book to look for a spell. "I'll have to call Rosaline to orb us." He stated.
"Mikey." Paige started. "I can orb remember. If you walk me through how to actually orb somewhere without having to sense for someone. I can do it."
Michael perked up, he completely forgotten about how he got back to the manor in the first place. Paige orbed him there to be healed. "But if you're not ready to orb yet, it could effect your progression of your magic." He stated. "Which of course, both of us, being the stubborn selves, we are, will find a way to fix it." he said with a laugh and took her hand. "Focus on the boy's parents. Think nothing but that. And then let the magic flow through you." He stated.
Paige closed her eyes for a moment and did as she instructed. Blue and white lights surrounded her and then quickly surrounded Michael and they both orbed out.
Woods (a few moments later)
Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Andy and Darryl were there. They had just arrested Ed and Collin. "They aren't talking, Prue." Andy stated. "You said there was a third accomplice?" He asked.
"Yeah, there was a man at a house when Phoebe and I went to try and find any evidence. And then there was a woman who said she was a witch practicner" Prue stated and doing the math in her head. "4 total." She stated.
Darryl looked around and finnaly asked, "Where are Paige and Michael?"
"Oh, Paige orbed him back to the house." Phoebe stated as Piper pulled out her phone.
Piper read the text messages she had received, "Paige and Mikey are going to talk to a few parents of the kids and try and find a connection." She stated.
"Why don't we go back to the station and try and find a connection of our own." Phoebe pointed out. "Maybe I could get a premonition…" She offered.
"That's a good idea," Piper stated. "It wouldn't be personal gain. If that woman really is a practicner then there could be a demon or something involved." She pointed out.
"Which then means we will have the Power of Four to stop it." Prue added. "Lets go." She said an they all went to the vehicles they arrived in.
Kalvin Ramirez House
Paige and Michael appeared admist blue and white orbs. "I am not gonna get used to that." Michael stated as they became corporeal.
"What?" Paige asked with a frown.
Michael looked at her, "Someone who can teleport better than me." He said in a joking manner.
Paige smirked, "What can I say I am a natural." She gloated.
Michael shared a smile with her for a second before knocking on the door, "Anyone home?" Michael asked through the door.
"who is it?" The woman on the other side of the door asked. there was no window on the door.
Michael look at Paige, "Housekeeping," He said in an accent. "I am with the police. Asking about your son. I can find him." He stated and the woman opened the door.
"How?" She asked. "He has been missing for a month now. I am beginning to lose hope that he is still alive." She stated and she took a good look at the boy in front of her, he was stll bruised on his head with a huge scar on his face, "My word." She stated. "Come in. lets get that looked at." She offered.
Michael and Paige walked into the house, "Nice house," Paige commented.
"Thanks," The woman replied.
Michael looked around. He couldn't help but notice several pictures on the shelf above the fireplace. He didn't think anything of them. "Ma'am, if I may. Do you have anything that was important to Kalvin?" He asked.
The woman looked at him with a small smile as she put hydrogen peroxide on a towel. "Why?" she asked as she put the towel on his face and began to clean up the wound.
"Ow." He replied to the stinging sensation that was cleaning the wound. "Because I might be able to find him." He stated.
The woman was taken aback for a second. "How?" She asked as she got a bandaid from her Kit. She turned back around to face him and saw a small golden glow on the wound. She looked at Michael in shock, "dear lord," She stated with a hand to her chest. "I knew witches would come to us soon." She stated.
"What makes you think…" Paige began.
"Because the wound on his face is comepletly healed. I didn't do much." She explained. "My mother was one. I myself didn't get any real powers. But Kalvin….he has the gift of knowing." She stated.
"We are witches." Michael confirmed. "And we can help." He stated.
Paige looked at the woman from her spot on the couch, "We just need something of his to scry for him." She elaborated.
"Scry?" The woman asked. "I've tried. I didn't have any luck." She added.
Michael looked at her with a grin, "Maybe…but your not me." He stated.
The woman got up and motioned for them to go over to a table that had a crystal and a map. "This braclet. It was given to Kalvin after his father died. It meant the world to him." She explained and handed it and the crystal to Michael.
"If your son is alive, this will point to where he is." Paige stated putting a reassuring smile on the womans face.
Michael began to swing the crystal as the woman and Paige began some small talk. "So, what power do you posses?" The woman asked.
Paige was happy she could share something magial to a person not in her family, "I can move things with my mind." She stated. For example…" She said as she looked around for something. She saw a pen and paper lying on a different table by the couch. "Pen and Paper." She called and it was engulfed in blue orbs and appeared into her hands.
"My great grandmother could do that. Except without the lights." The woman pointed out.
"My sister has telekinesis. I just control it differently than she does." Paige explained.
"You have sisters?" The woman asked then it hit her. Realization struck and her eyes widened in shock, "Are you one of the most powerful witches? What was the name…" She asked herself. "The Charmed Ones?"
Paige looked at this woman who seemed to know so much, yet so little about the magical world, "I am." She clarified.
She turned to Michael, "That makes you the most powerful demon." She stated.
Michael focused on the crystal and mad trying to find the boy, "Dammit." Michael shouted. "Paige you try. I have been through too much in the last few hours that using magic is a strain right now." He explained and gave her the crystal.
Paige began swinging it over the mad and almost suddenly the crystal dropped. "got it." she said.
Michael took a look at the map, "That's where it landed before in the alley. Nothing was there." Michael stated.
Paige thought for a moment, "What about the building next to the alley. Could have a basement that leads to under the alley." She commented.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Michael stated. "Paige take us to the alley." He said and jerked her arm and clung on to it.
Paige rolled her eyes good heartedly and turned to the woman, "We will bring your son back. Promise." She stated.
"You two are welcome here anytime." The woman said. "By the way, I am Susan." She added before the two witches were surrounded in orbs and disappeared. The woman now had a reassuring hope that her son was safe. After all if a Charmed One is involved. Sure he would be.
SFPD
Prue, Piper and Phoebe were sat at various tables in the room. The captain le tAndy and Darryl bring in the sisters to help. So they are all looking for a connection in the case.
"What do we know Andy?" Prue asked looking through various photos which she gave to Phoebe to look at and get a vision.
"Just that these guys were taken. Serial kidnappers." Andy explained.
Phoebe looked at the photos, "WWMD?" She asked herself.
Prue perked up at her, "You've said that at the manor. What dies that mean?" She asked.
Phoebe looked at her, "It's stupid. But whenever I feel like I cant do something I always ask myself 'what would Mikey do?' and its worked evrytime." She explained as she looked at another photo.
Darryl watched as Phoebe paused on a photo and saw her visibly tense up a little. "What is it?" He asked calmly.
"Pheebs?" Piper pressed.
Phoebe turned the photo around, "This picture." She stated.
"What about it?" Prue asked.
"The building in it. I saw it in my vision." She explained. "Prue, Piper, I think this is where the vicums are." She stated.
"Lets go," Andy ordered and they all walked out to the vehicles.
Alley
Paige and Michael orbed in and lit up the entire area of the alley. It was after ten at night so it was pretty dark. As soon as they became corporeal Michael and Paige walked over to the building. "It doesn't look like anyone is here. There is no vehicle in the area." He said as he went to the door.
"It looks as if no one is here." Paige pointed out.
Michael went to the door, "unlock." He stated. Flames barely surrounded the lock and unlocked it and Michael stumbled backwards a little bit.
"Mikey, you okay?" Paige asked.
"I am fine." He replied. "I just shouldn't use much more magic. Or I could collapse." He stated as he walked inside the abandoned building.
Paige followed him in. "This place looks like a disaster area." She pointed out.
"definitely a place to keep kidnap victims." Michael pointed out. He was done playing around. He needed to find these kids. "Paige, get prepared to throw something." He suggested. "Hello! Anyone here?" He yelled.
"Mikey, I don't…" Paige started but stopped as she heard something. "Is that pounding?" She asked.
"Its coming from over here." Michael said and walked towards a door. "Hello?" He commented in his normal voice. The pounding was muffled. It was clear that it was coming from a basement.
"We gotta get this door open." Paige stated. "Stand back." She said and roughly pulled him behind her. "Door Open!" She yelled and the door was surrounded in orbs and opened.
"Nicely done Paige," Michael commented and grabbed her hand and walked down the stairs. Paige ready to orb out if needed.
"Hello?" Paige now asked voice slightly raised.
"Help!" Came the cries of maybe two kids.
"Where are you?" Michael asked.
"Over here," The voice said and Michael walked a distance with Paige.
As soon as they got to where two kids were, they were shocked at what they found. Two boys with shirts off shackled to the wall. it didn't take a smart person to figure out what happened to these two boys. "Oh my god." Paige stated.
"I know," Michael replied. "Kalvin?" He asked one of the boys.
"You know me?" Kalvin asked.
"No. but your mother is waiting for you to come home." Michael explained.
They heard footsteps from upstairs and a womans voice shout, "Who is in here?"
"Oh dear," Michael said as the footsteps got closer and closer.
"You again," The voice said. It belonged to the witch practicioner that was at the hideout. "I knew you were magical." She stated.
Michael suddenly got protective of Paige and pulled her behind him, "You should really trust your instincs." Michael said.
"Oh I will," The woman replied and pulled out a potion.
"That wont kill me," Michael warned. "I am not killed easily." He stated.
"Oh it wont kill you. on the contrary dear." She began, "it brings out the inner most darkness in anybody." She said and threw it at Michael's feet. "And now your inner darkness will soon surface." She said with a smile. "It feels nice to be an evil witch."
"You shouldn't have done that," Michael warned.
Paige piped up at this point, "It feels nice to be a good one," She stated. She saw a wooden chair. She threw her hand out, "Chair!" She yelled and the chair went soaring to the woman. It hit her and she fell to the floor.
"Mikey?" Piper's voice drifted from upstairs. "Paige?"
"Down here!" Paige yelled.
"Who are you, witch?" The woman asked with rage. She pulled out another potion.
"I'm Charmed." Paige retorted. "Potion!" She yelled and it orbed to her hand.
Prue, Piper and Andy came in at that moment, "Paige," Prue said and saw the evil woman in front of them. "Don't you throw potions as my sister and cousin you bitch," Prue seethed and threw her arm out.
The evil woman went flying into the wall and she fell to the floor. "Mikey," Phoebe stated as Michael looked to be frozen in terror.
"The potion is taking effect." The evil witch said. "Soon, he will be evil. Like me." She stated as she got up.
"Do you realize who he is?" Piper asked ready to freeze the woman.
"I don't care," The woman said.
Prue walked up to her, "You cant just throw a little potion at the most powerful demon and expect a result." She wanred.
The woman now looked terrified, "M-m-most p-powerful d-d-demon?" She asked and the soon realized something. She looked at the four withes in front of her, "The Charmed Ones." She said and grabbed a potion anf threw it at her feet. She disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Lets get the boys and get out of here," Andy said and began to fiddle with the chains.
Michael seemed to come back to reality, "Chains!" He yelled and waved his hands. Flames surrounded the chains and the kids were set free. Michael collapsed to the level of power he used.
"Mikey!" Piper yelled and caught him.
"I got him." Paige said and grabbed Michael's arm. "You get the boys out of here." She stated and orbed out with Michael.
Piper looked around and grabbed one of the boys while Prue grabbed the other. Phoebe and Andy close behind them as they left.
(Halliwell Manor) A few days later
Michael rested comfortable on the couch while his cousins did various things around the house. Michael was having flashbacks about the incident with Ed and Collin. And there were still two accomplices out there. the boys were back home. While Michael was having trmatic flashbacks.
Connors house
Connor lay on the couch back at his home. Happy to be back. But something bothered him. The woman that saved him…and the boy. They were both kind of off. The third woman with his rescuers seemed normal.
Flashback
"I was thrown through a concrete wall. and endured excruciating pain getting rid of a tumor. Good luck." The guy said.
PO4
Another flashback
Two woman remained after Ed and Collin left with the other guy. "Shackles!" The woman yelled and blue and white lights surrounded the chains and they were gone.
"How did you do that?" I asked,
"Not now sweetie," One of the woman with the cops stated.
End of flashback
Connor looked around as he came out of the flashback. "I will find out hwats going on. And I will avenge my uncle. And kill the being that killed him." He stated.
Somewhere in San Fransisco
The evil witch was seated in an old house on the outskirts of town. She was looking at a prison map. She wanted to get her boyfriend out of prison. She had various spell books in front of her. When a shimmer of a flame came to her attention.
She looked fearful of the flames as someone in a black hood stood before her, "You have failed me," The demon stated.
"No. I threw the potion you gave me at the most powerful demon. As you instructed. How did you know he would find the little male witch?" The witch asked.
The Source laughed, "Because that little brat is saving people. While he is infected with that potion. I can make my move on the Charmed Ones." He explained. "now to tie up loose ends." He stated and made a large fireball.
The woman was prepared she grabbed a set of potions and threw one at him. He was sent into the wall. "That potion weakens even the most powerful of beings." She stated. "For what its worth. I hope the Charmed Ones vanquish you for what you made me do to that young man." She stated and threw a potion at her feet and disappeared. The source got up and felt extremely weak. He flames out.
Halliwell Manor
Michael and his cousins sat at the dinner table, "I am just glad everyone is back to where they need to be." He stated.
"Us too," Phoebe replied.
"However we need to be on the lookout for that evil withc and the fourth accomplice. They are still out there and something tells me we haven't seen the last of them." Michael explained.
"I agree." Piper stated and then turned towards Paige, "Although I think we need to steer clear of that Connor kid as well. He could out us as witches."
"How?" Paige asked.
"He saw you use magic to remove the shackles. It's a matter of time before he finds out the truth and exposes us." Piper saied.
Michael shook his head, "I agree, but I don't think he will expose us. We just need to be more careful the next time something like this happens." He stated. "Now, I have to go to sleep, and then help Phoebe with a spell and then find my father." He stated as he took off up the stairs.
AN: Okay I know this chapter was really long and seemed kind of rushed. But it just would not leave my head so I had to comply with it. it is also the reason I haven't been updating. Been souley focused on this.
I work two jobs so updating and writing is a bit out of my time frame. I update when I can.
I got a certain review that I would like to address, "Hey. Your story sucks. There hasn't been an update since December. You need to update or delete. Because this is getting ridiculous. I loved your seasons one two and three. Mind you those also sucked because your writing style is terrible. Bur these last few episodes made alot more fucking sense. Why don't we get our panties out of our asses and update. I am going to follow your story because I am interested in what you have planned. But please foe the sake of all of us...end it with season 4. No one wants to read anymore.
Michael being part of the police force is unrealistic. Prue alive is a bad idea to effect the power of three. And Andy is alive I hate him so much. So you need to delete this or update. That's the way it works. On another note, you are making Paige and Michael alike. That's gonna get boring really soon."
I have my own ideas for this show. Thank you for taking the time to tell me how much my story sucks. However I am not going to End it at season 4 because I have plans throught the series. AND If you would so kindly to go back and re-read a few authors notes you would KNOW I am going back and re-editing my old chapters. I do not appreiciate reviews like this. I will not tolerate them and I will call you out on it. I don't update a lot because I work all the time. End of rant
If anyone has a problem with my story needs to message me about it and we can talk about what I can do to make it better. I would like to continue this. it took a lot of motivation to write just this one chapter in the past few months. Hopefully the inspiration comes back soon.
Also, thanks to those who have stayed loyal and are reviewing positively. You guys are awesome and review more. Give me critisim. Don't be rude!
Supernatural Lover XD
PS I know this seemed kind of rushed but more will be explained in a later episode, The evil witch, and the fourth accomplice will make a return sometime after the vanquish of the source.
