If I could feel just one more thing,
The taste of love is what I'd feel.

To know not of regret,
But the sweet, sweet, strength of us.

Leo eyed him with such hatred, "Why you?" Chris sighed and tried to stop himself, but he couldn't, "Everyone else wanted him dead."

"That's a lie!" Leo called out, spit flapping around his gums, "My son is not evil and no one wants him dead…besides you!"

Chris shook his head, "No, Leo, people do want Wyatt dead; however, I do not want Wyatt dead."

Paige finally looked at Chris and asked, "Why do they want Wyatt dead?"

Chris tried to fight it but he had no choice, "Wyatt is the future Source of All Evil."

Piper reached out for and gripped Leo's hand, "My baby?" Leo shook his head, getting awful close to the crystal cage, "That's a lie! You're lying!"

I smirked, "I cannot lie," I glared at all of them, "You have forced me to tell you the truth; so, very simply, stop asking questions that I have already hinted to or answered previously. You want to know things? Ask away. I don't have a choice. You have removed my humanity now. Good job," I spat at each of them – especially Phoebe and Paige.

Leo huffed, "Are you even human?" I looked at him and sighed, "Half whitelighter, half witch/human, so yes I am human."

Phoebe looked into the man's eyes and then asked, "What makes the future so dangerous that you would risk everything to come back here?" I studied her for a moment and then was compelled to answer, "In the future, Wyatt is so convinced that there is no good and evil, only power, that he exposes magic to the world. Eventually, a new rogue band, possibly funded by the government, but it's true origin remains a mystery, is founded to hunt witches and other magical creatures. They call themselves 'The Witch Hunter's, but," he is interrupted.

Piper speaks up, "The witch hunters?" Chris nods, "Yes." Phoebe looks at Chris, "What do they do when they catch them?"

Chris tries to stop himself, but before he can he is removing his shirt and undershirt, "This," he says revealing his scars on his chest and back. He has scars over his ribs, chest, heart, spine, and even some that looked to have been healed and cut over and over until nothing was left to cut. Paige lets out a squeal, covering her mouth, and Phoebe starts sobbing. Piper just stares. Leo says nothing.

"My first scar from them came on my ninth birthday," he offers without prompting, "they didn't care about my age – only finding Wyatt. Yes, I knew him. I even worked with him for a while. We were best friends…I followed him because I was a scared little boy, whose mother was murdered, and needed a friend. Eventually I came to my senses," he paused here and then continues, "I realized that Wyatt is wrong, but he can be saved. I didn't see it at first but I realized I had to travel in the past and visit now, while he was a child, and stop whatever caused him to turn evil."

Leo just stared at him before speaking, "And what of the Elders?" Chris looked directly at him, his eyes filled with such hate, "The Elders were killed by Wyatt, a gift to his then-dead mother, a day after her death. No one knew it was him until years later but by then it was too late." Piper screamed into her hands, "Why would he do that?" She had tears streaming down her face. Chris sighed, looking at her with regret showing in his eyes, "Because he was angry. No one came to save you," he looked over at Leo with such anger, "Not even you. No one came. Wyatt was the second but," he sighed, "Piper was already dead."

Paige looked up from the ground, "Who was the first to discover Piper?" Chris sighed, trying to not name himself but unable, "I was."
