Times like these,
We are faced with heartache.
Nothing to do,
But love one another.
Something had to be done. For more than seven hours not a word was said, not one of them moved, until finally Leo spoke up, "I'm going to kill him," he said simply, "I'm going to kill the source; I'm going to kill my son."
That was more than four hours ago now. Nothing more could be said. Leo had the sister prepare potion after potion. Piper had not liked the idea, but she kept her mouth shut. There was no reason to argue with Leo; none at all. Phoebe and Paige also remained silent. Things were much clearer now. No one understood this more than Leo. He had immediately sensed where his son would be; Wyatt had made sure of that.
With the last potion capped off, Leo strapped it to the belt he wore around his chest, "It's time," was all he said as he faced Piper and gave her a kiss. "I'm sorry," he said as he orbed out. The three sisters begged to go. They too wanted to kill Wyatt, not his little self, but the monster he had become. They too now realized how futile it was to hope that version would change.
As Leo orbed into a cave in the underworld, his eyes came across the subject he had searched for. "Wyatt," he said calmly, "tell me who turned you and you may live." Wyatt's eyes looked into his father's and he smirked, "Who turned me?" He shot lightning at Leo, "No one," he growled out, "turned me!"
Thankfully, Leo had been expecting an attack and expertly dodged under the lighting, "I see," he called out. He threw a potion that he had hidden in his hand. Wyatt smirked, blinking across the room, "Leo," he said calmly, "Father," he added, "Join me." Leo stood up, "No," he said simply, "I've come to kill you." Leo then shot lightning at Wyatt, the source, who he no longer viewed as his son. Wyatt growled and disappeared in flames, appearing behind Leo, and sticking him in the side with an athame.
Leo screamed out as the athame struck his side. He then turned and broke a potion against Wyatt's shirt, "Now what?" He asked, stepping backward, and throwing another at Wyatt. Wyatt screamed out as the potion began to dissolve his shirt and then his skin. The second one barely registered to his senses as it hit him; smoke rising from his skin, as the burning sensation quickened, "Father," he screamed out with tears, "How could you hurt me?"
Leo sighed, "You killed your family," he shook his head, "I have no choice." He threw another potion, this time connecting to Wyatt's arm, causing it to explode. Wyatt screamed again, falling to the ground, "Why?" He said, "Please," he looked into his father's eyes, "daddy?" Leo stopped. His hand holding the final potion required. He could end this. He could end this now. His hand lowered. How could he be expected to kill his child? How could he be expected to kill Wyatt?
Leo looked at Wyatt, Leo's eye's recognizing the darkness, the evil, of the source, within Wyatt's eyes. Leo sighed, "Wyatt," he said simply, "Why did you kill Chris and Melinda? Why did you rape your baby sister?" Wyatt looked to his father and said the only thing he could think of, the truth, "They deserved it." Leo nodded his head, "I see." He looked into Wyatt's eyes again, "Wyatt, who turned you evil?"
Wyatt glared at his stupid father, who he suddenly realized had the truth spell cast upon him, "There is no evil," he spat out, "How many times do I have to say that!" Wyatt yelled, pissed and angry at how he has to keep repeating the truth to people. Leo nodded his head, "And," he paused, smirking, "who taught you that?" Wyatt shrugged, not quite sure himself, "I don'-," he started but then stopped, his lips moving on their own and, his voice speaking by itself, "Gideon." He said simply. "Gideon taught me this." He nodded his head, "He kidnapped me when I was a child. He tried to kill me, afraid of my power, and through that he taught me that power is all that matters."
Leo's mouth gapped open, "Gideon?" He asked simply. His nerves were a wreck. He had no one left to look up to. Gideon was his mentor. Gideon, the man who taught him so much, the main who was his father in his new life; the man who fought for Leo and Piper to get married. That Gideon? No, there had to be a mistake. Leo shook his head, "You're lying," he said. Wyatt shook his head, "Father," he said simply, "You know that is impossible." Leo sighed, for he knew it was true, there was no way that Wyatt could be lying. Even one as powerful as Wyatt could not resist the truth spell when it was performed by the Charmed Ones. No, he was telling the truth.
Wyatt looked at his father, angry at how Gideon used him, after finally discovering that Chris was right. He was turned evil. Hell, if Chris was right then…no, he killed his baby brother, his family, for nothing. It wasn't about power. It was about good and evil. It was always about that, wasn't it? And, worse yet, Wyatt finally saw that he was on the side of evil. Even then, even with the Twice-Blessed child was on the side of evil, even then; Chris won. Christopher Perry Halliwell won. Wyatt sighed, looking at the potion, and then back to his father, "Make him pay, dad," he said simply and telekinetically forced the potion out of his father's hand and toward himself. With one final push, he forced Leo away from him.
The force of the Wyatt's push, along with the explosion, was enough to force Leo into the wall. The Elder screamed out for his son but it was too late. As the smoke cleared, nothing was left but ash. The potions were quite strong, blessed by the Charmed Ones while holding hands with young Wyatt, and finally blessed by Leo, an Elder. They also contained the blood of both Piper and Leo. Wyatt, the source, was dead. He would not be back to come after Leo or his family.
