He groaned and rolled over. He had every intention to merely roll off the couch and get up to do his stretches and morning workout. What he rolled into instead was something solid. Was that a wall?

He sighed and started to roll over the other way when he woke up enough o realize that whatever he was laying on was really soft. What was he on? Nothing should be this soft, at least nothing he'd ever felt before had been this soft. It was like floating on a cloud.

Green eyes snapped open.

Chris was up in the blink of an eye, looking around at his surroundings. He breathed a sigh of relief when he recognized where he was and that he was not in fact dead. Once all of this sunk in however he was pissed.

How dare they! They had no right to shrink him, trap him at the table and then, what; put him in the nursery? What the hell was going through Piper's mind? Why had Leo gone along with it? Chris didn't understand.

Regardless, it didn't matter. He wasn't going to stick around any longer anyway. He was leaving.

Just as soon as he got his orbing power back.

He hated Leo.

Deciding to see if there was a spell in the book that might help with his predicament Chris made his way to the door. He was almost at the door when it swung open and he found himself face-to-face with a smiling Piper.

"Good morning" Piper greeted stepping into the room, happy to see her son awake. She had been checking on the monitor every five minutes to see when Chris would wake up. Leo had told her that they would know when Chris woke up, he'd be able to 'sense it' – look how well that turned out.

Chris sighed and chose not to respond. Instead he slid past Piper and made a beeline for the open door. He let out a scream of frustration when he found himself being pushed back into the room again by an invisible barrier.

Wyatt was jolted awake by the noise and started screaming himself fully letting everyone know that he did not appreciate being woke up in such a manner.

Piper immediately picked Wyatt up and started bouncing the unhappy baby on her hip while simultaneously turning to Chris and calling for her husband. Two upset children equaled two parents.

"Chris, you need to calm down honey. Screaming isn't going to get you what you want" Piper chastised gently.

Chris couldn't believe what was going on. Was he in some sort of warped dream? Was this a different reality? Had he just completely lost it? All three scenarios were completely plausible. His dreams weren't exactly paradise; he'd had plenty of truly disturbing ones before. He'd also been to a different reality before but that was just a couple of times and only because one of his friends had the ability to open portals to any reality they wanted to – Wyatt had vanquished that friend two days before Chris turned five.

As far as losing it went, it was possible he supposed. Would he know if he'd lost it? Would he realize that he'd gone stark raving crazy or would he just think it was normal? He wasn't sure. There were tons of people, witches, demons, magical creatures and dark lighters alike who had all suggested that he'd gone crazy at one time or another. Maybe they were onto something? Or maybe it was them that were the crazy ones? He didn't know and frankly when you've led the kind of life he has – did it really matter? He was stable enough to focus on his mission, what else did he need?

He needed to leave this room, this manor, and these people. He needed his orbing back. That's what he needed.

"What's wrong?" Leo queried as he orbed into the room next to his wife.

Piper quirked an irritated eyebrow at her husband, "You'd be able to sense when he woke up huh?"

Looking over at the bed and then following his wife's gaze towards the door the resident elder gulped in slight concern before offering a sheepish grin and half shrug, "He must be blocking me"

"Well fix it then" Piper demanded.

Chris was tired of this conversation. "LET ME OUT!"

That got the attention of both parents. And caused little Wyatt to start crying again.

"Chris" Piper admonished, "What did I just say about screaming."

"Just relax Chris" Leo tried taking a different approach. He'd noticed that little Chris hadn't liked being trapped, had acted as though it were a threat, it wouldn't be a surprise if adult Chris felt the same way. "The spell was designed to protect you not harm you."

Chris scoffed, "If it were to protect me none of you would be able to touch me"

Piper's breath hitched but she also knew that in many ways it was a true statement. Chris didn't have pleasant memories of family; he had memories of pain, naturally the boy wouldn't see protection being the same thing as locked in a room with parents.

"The spell lets us touch you because none of us have any malicious intent towards you and we are your family." Leo explained.

Chris glared at the man and shook his head. Leo never did think that he was hurting Chris just 'helping him to be a better person'. It was all a load of bull. Instead of responding he merely turned and started pounding at the force field that was keeping him trapped in this room hoping to break it out of sheer determination.

Piper handed Wyatt off to Leo and stepped towards her son knowing full well that she would be the only adult the boy was even remotely likely to allow near him at the moment. "Chris"

Chris ignored her.

She brought her hand up to push his arm down, "Chris"

Chris jumped back at the contact unused to physical touch.

Piper sighed sadly but continued on knowing that she needed to talk to her youngest calmly not emotionally. "Baby, you're not going to get out without either your father or I taking you by the hand and leading you out"

Chris instantly grabbed for her hand and pulled the two of them out the room. As soon as they were in the hallway he dropped his hold of her and bolted for the attic stairs.

Piper just shook her head and took Wyatt back from Leo, "Bring him down when he's done screaming please?"

Leo scrunched up his eyebrows in confusion, "You're not going to stop hi…"

The rest of Leo's question was cut off by another scream of frustration followed by a "SERIOUSLY!?"

"I put it on last night" Piper said in way of explanation.

Leo shook his head in understanding and then watched his wife take their first born down the stairs to the kitchen. Shaking his head in resignation Leo made his way towards his youngest son who was currently pounding on the attic door. It was going to be a long morning.
