"What the hell happened? Are Chris and Wyatt ok?" asked Phoebe immediately as she regained consciences
Melinda however pushed her back against the couch not yet done with the healing of her aunt she placed her hands against Phoebe's head. The golden light came again as the cut over Phoebe's left eyebrow disappeared
"They are fine!" she finally answered as she turned to look at her father who still busy healing a complaining Wyatt the sword Excalibur still clutched in his hand
"I thought that thing make's you invincible?" asked a fairly unhurt Paige
"It does but even I can't avoid every hit", explained Wyatt blushing slightly
"You can avoid as much as want later, what did Chris do and even more importantly where is he now?" shot Piper while standing next to Paige
"He got rid of Gideon just as we did with the last wraith", explained Bianca as Melinda and Phoebe came doing there best not to fall over the remains of the living room
"Okay… you future people do know that we don't have any idea what that means?" snapped Piper
"You remember that we told you that Chris has the power to travel between the ghost plane and the real world?" asked Melinda as Wyatt stood up and Excalibur disappeared
"Yes of course we… HE'S FIGHTING THAT THING ON THE GHOST PLANE ALL ON HIS OWN!" shrieked Piper as everybody stumbled back
"Of course not" calmed Melinda
"Nobody keeps their powers on the ghost plane…" took Wyatt over " and neither do they keep their bodies" he concluded Piper however didn't seem to hear him and was ready to shriek their heads of but was interrupted by Leo
"That's genius" he exclaimed, the sister's shot him a look as if he had really lost it "A wraith constantly needs new body parts to survive and on the ghost plane…"
"Aren't any only souls of the departed" finished Paige finally having realized what it meant
"So what he just going to starve and die?" asked Phoebe
"Exactly" assured her Bianca, Wyatt and Melinda
"Well what about Chris he can't fight that thing alone?"
It was Leo that answered instead of Bianca, Wyatt or Mel
"Piper you remember what happened when we were on the ghost plane?" he asked Piper blushed as she shoot her husband a "now is so not the time" glare
"Not that… I meant our powers we lost them remember?" he continued as he too blushed in the presence of their future children
"So Gideon is powerless?" asked Phoebe
"Yup the only power that works there seems to be Chris transportation power" explained Wyatt much to his parents pleasure

The ghost plane
Chris had just turned at the corner that lead to the one on Prescott street after carefully listening he went behind a fence with bushes not wanting to be seen as he returned to the normal world. He focused for a couple of seconds as he felt his magic beginning to function his surroundings blurred for a couple of minutes then they reformed but no longer were the colors of the world in gray and blue but normal.
Chris stood up after making sure that no one could see him he orbed away he needed time to think

1 hour later
"Leo try again" urged him Piper for what seemed to have been the one hundredth time
"I've told you Piper I can't sense him he is either…" began Leo for the one hundredth and first time as he suddenly stooped in mid sentence as a familiar sensation overwhelmed his senses
"I know where he is" continued Leo bluntly as everybody stared at him
"Ok so lets…" started Piper
"I'll go and get him… alone" interrupted Leo and orbed out in a swirl of white and blue orbs

Leo orbed to the golden gate bridge were he felt Chris presence moments before of course he would be there it was were the other Chris always went to clear his head a spot that both of them shared
Leo looked around and there he was watching the many cars pass by bellow them
"Hey" he said softly as Chris turned around to see his father standing behind him
"Hey" Chris replied
"You didn't come back we were worried" said Leo as he sat next to Chris
"Mel and Wyatt now that I'm fine via…"
"Your special connection we know" interrupted him Leo "But can you tell me if that puts your mother at ease in the future?" he asked
"You've got a point there" replied Chris jokingly
After a couple of moments of silence between father and son Chris had finally had chosen to break the tension
"I remembered my other life hell I've even met my other life" Chris explained
"I thought as much Paige told us that their might be a chance since you were yourself in your past life" spoke Leo gently
"Yeah but it was so miserable Wyatt was evil, mom and the aunts were dead, I had no cousins and you were never…" he paused suddenly as he remembered to whom he was talking too
"It's ok Chris you other self told me that I was a disaster as father"
"Well I'm sure he likes the new you" replied Chris "I should know we merged"
"You what? Chris that was incredibly dangerous…." began Leo
"I know dad" he sighed "but while we were stuck we heard Bianca scream so we decided to try it to save her, would you do anything less for mom?" he asked as Leo deflated knowing that his son knew that he would probably merge not with one different version of himself but probably two dozen if it would save Piper
"You are going to be a handful growing up aren't you?" asked Leo jokingly as he put his arm around Chris
"Yeah I was but you still love me" he replied as he rested his head on his father shoulder

"Are you sure that he is fine?" asked Piper
Unfortunately for Mel and Wyatt since Leo's departure Piper had now turned her third degree towards her future children
"Mom we told you he's fine" assured he Mel as they entered the crashed living room where Paige and Phoebe had been waiting for them
"This is going to take forever to clean up" moaned Phoebe
"Yeah couldn't he have spared the furniture at least it's not like it present's a threat to anyone… well the old armchair maybe since it developed a tendency to flip over…" began Paige her voice dripping in sarcasm
"Oh that's flipy" asked Mel in a bemused voice
"Flipy? We named a armchair?" asked Piper
"Well you named it after the fact that it almost always flipped over when somebody sat in it but you got rid of it after dad almost broke his neck while cradling me into sleep when I was around two or three" explained Mel
"The armchair is history" concluded Piper as she flicked her wrists and blew it up
"Yeah great Piper just blow up the last standing peace of furniture we have" snapped Paige
"No need to worry aunty
Let the object of objection become but a dream
as I cause the scene to be unseen
There good as knew"
Spoke Wyatt as the living room glowed all the broken items flew back together and on their right places
"Personal gain" admonished Piper
"Not quite since this wasn't supposed to happen so I'm only keeping the timeline clean" teased Wyatt as his mother shoot him a glare
"Hey aren't we missing something?" asked Melinda as she went towards the stairs followed by her relatives

Chris head was still resting on Leo's shoulder they had spent some good thirty minutes when Leo looked at Chris he noticed that his future son had fallen asleep while resting on his fathers shoulder. Leo smiled knowing that although the other Chris had forgiven him he would never had been so relaxed while in Leo's presence. He gently tightened his grip on Chris and orbed them back to the Manor

"Ah so you finally came to set me free?" asked a still imprisoned Odin as the family passed by him
"No" replied Paige, as Melinda finally seemed to have found what she was looking for: Bianca
"You okay?" asked Mel from the bottom of the stairs
"Fine now" replied Bianca looking a bit pale she went down stairs and into the kitchen Melinda followed her but before she entered the kitchen she turned around "Get rid of the elder will you we need some… future girl talk" she concluded lamely
"You think that they are hiding something from us?" asked Piper rhetorically as Wyatt raised an eyebrow

Leo carrying a sleeping Chris just orbed into his and Piper's room and placed Chris on their bed. As he looked around he saw baby Chris and Wyatt sleeping in their baby beds that were probably orbed in this room by either Paige or big Wyatt. Leo found himself grinning at the scene of his two sons and a future version all-safe asleep

"Is everything alright is the…" began Mel immediately as they entered the kitchen
"Everything is fine except the morning sickness" explained Bianca as she sat down
"Morning sickness? Its 11 pm"
"Don't ask what genius named it morning sickness" replied Bianca behind the counter "Whose clothes are those?" she asked as she noticed Rita's clothes lying on the floor
"Rita's I vanquished her sorry as" explained Mel as she picked up the jumble of clothes and as she was to put them on the counter a cling sound was heard
"What was that?" asked Bianca as she saw Melinda picking up a small necklace
"Well if you ask me its blood" answered Melinda as she revealed that it was no necklace but a vial containing red liquid in her hand

Leo descended the stairs as he heard Piper' piercing shriek coming from downstairs
"LEO WYATT WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN AND WHERE'S CHRIS…" quickly he dispersed into orbs and rematerialized in front of Piper clasping his hand over her mouth
"He's fine he's sleeping in our room he needs some rest so don't wake him" he answered softly as he removed his hand "Where are your sisters Mel, Wyatt and Bianca?"
"Phoebe, Paige and Wyatt are figuring out what they want to do with Odin, Mel and Bianca are having some "future girl talk" " answered Piper as they went to join the others on the Odin dilemma
"I'm an elder you can't keep me locked up in here forever" he snarled at Phoebe
"I wouldn't bet on that horse mister", snapped Paige
"He's got a point you know he still needs to do things in the future" commented Wyatt with an expression as if he swallowed a whole football
"So what do we do now?" asked Paige
"You set him free" answered a female voice as the group turned to see a female hooded elder staying behind them
