The demon threw a glowing ball. It slammed into Phoebe's chest, knocking her backwards. Leo ran towards her only to be hit with a similar ball.

"Hey!" Piper said, drawing attention away from her sister and husband.

Paige stood at the top of the staircase and began to chant. Before she could finish, the demon faded out.

"Where the hell…"

"Who cares? He's gone for now."

"Who was it?"

"Don't know. Just figured a general vanquishing spell might at least scare him into leaving," Paige said. "I'll go check Wyatt."

Piper nodded. Leo held his hand over Phoebe's head, the familiar golden glow rushing from his hand. She gasped and sat up, looking around.

"Where'd he go?" Phoebe asked, wide eyed.

"He left, but he'll probably be back soon."

"But when he does, we'll be ready for him! Right, Leo?"

"Right!" He held up a hand and high-fived his sister-in-law.

"Okay…in the meantime, you guys feeling okay?"

"Sure."

"Yep."

"Demon hit them with something?" Paige asked as she carried Wyatt downstairs.

"Yeah. Only we're not sure what they were. They didn't look like energy balls exactly."

"Think we oughta call for Chris?"

Piper shook her head. "Leo, go ask the Elders."

"Do I have to?" he asked, pouting.

Paige frowned. "Um, yeah."

Leo gave an exaggerated sigh and rolled his eyes before orbing out.

"Did he just roll his eyes at me?" Paige asked.

Phoebe giggled. "Leo's gonna get in trouble!"

"Phoebe, what's the matter with you? You sound like you're five."

"I'm not five!"

Phoebe turned and ran up the stairs, slamming the door for obvious dramatic effect.

"Okay, what was that?" Paige asked.

Piper sighed and shrugged. "Who knows? She hasn't acted like that since we were kids."

"Hm…strange…"

"Here, why don't I take Wyatt upstairs while you go check the Book for that demon? I want to know what he hit them with."

Paige nodded and handed over Wyatt.

Leo orbed back in, his cheeks slightly flushed. "Hi!"

"What'd they say?"

"Who?"

"The Elders."

"Oh I don't know. I couldn't find 'em and these kids were playin' baseball and they let me play with 'em."

"You were playing baseball?"

Leo nodded, proudly sticking out his chest and grinning. "And I's the best guy on the whole team!"

"I would hope so. God knows you're old enough to be their great-grandfather," Paige muttered.

"Well you're stupid."

Paige's jaw dropped. "Excuse me?"

"Leo!"

"What? She called me old!"

"You are!"

"You guys are mean!"

Piper took a deep breath. "Leo, honey, do you feel okay?"

"Fine. Where'd Phoebe go?"

"To her room."

"Is she in trouble?" he asked, giggling.

"No…wh—"

Before Piper finished her question he orbed out.
