Hours later...
It's six o'clock and the club will open in an hour, Chris puts the finishing touches on his project.
The air shimmers in front of him and a demon immediately launches a fireball at Chris who, ducks and rolls to the side. The demon sends another fireball flying towards him, but this one Chris sends back towards it's owner vanquishing him.
The door bursts open and Christina rushes in, "Are you okay?"
Chris smiles reassuringly, "Now I'm perfect." Then he spots where the first fireball hit, "My computer! Now what!?"
Chris plops down on the couch, putting his head in his hands, Christina sits next to him, "What's wrong love? What do they know?"
"Almost everything, Wyatt, my identity. And it's been so hard to get through these last few months, they've been treating me like crap. That was until they all found out who I really am, then it was all like, 'move into the Manor'and 'we're so sorry'. Just cuz I'm family now. I had a video I was going to send to them using your song 'Human' and my security tapes, but now it's gone."
Christina takes his hand and holds his face, "Yeah, but I'm here, you've got a great voice let's do this together, tonight. We can do 'Human'and the duet version of 'A Thousand Years'."
"Okay, let's do it. I can salvage a few clips as well. And afterwards we'll face our family." Chris agrees.

Hours later...
Piper, her sisters, and Leo all sit in their reserved space waiting for Christina Perri to take the stage, hoping against hope Chris might show up as they'd been unsuccessful at locating him earlier on.
Christina takes the stage, "Hello P3! It's great to be here! There's actually been a sight change of plan and instead of preforming 'Human'and 'A Thousand Years' alone I'll be doing a duet with a very good friend of mine. You'll also see video clips behind us. Ladies and Gentlemen, Christopher Perry!"
The other Halliwells in the room feel their mouths drop to the floor as their future family member steps out from backstage, holding a microphone as well, "Thanks Christina."
The band starts as both Chris and Christina take a seat at the piano, and Christina starts singing the first verse.
(*lyrics removed due to site rules, I'd suggest listening to the song while you read)
First Verse
Chris joins in his huskier voice combining perfectly with Christina's silvery one as they reach the pre-chorus.
Pre-Chorus
Christina stops singing and only Chris's mesmerizing voice fills the club, for the chorus.
Chorus
A still of Chris half-dead from darklighter poison flashes in the screen.
A clip, this time of Chris, tears shining in his eyes atop the Bridge.
Christina joins in for the last line in the chorus, then Chris stops singing
Second Verse
A darkened shot of the Manor kitchen and Chris holding the basement door shut against an invisible force but the Halliwell's know it's the Slime demon.
Chris joins in again with the pre-chorus.
Pre-Chorus
Then just as before Christina stops for the chorus.
Chorus
A clip of Chris and Leo in the attic. The on screen Chris says, "Looks like we're one big happy family again."
The on screen Leo replies coldly, "You're not family." He walks out missing the hurt in Chris's eyes.
A shot of Chris in the attic, his shirt stained with food and his eyes shining with tears.
Christina joins in with the end bit of the chorus.
Crash and break down portion of Chorus
A furious Leo screams at a protesting Chris who turns to Paige for help, getting nothing.
The next clip the screen is split in half, on one side Chris lies sprawled out on the floor amongst the wreckage of a piece of Piper's bedroom furniture unconscious. On the other side a groaning Chris picks himself up from the glass and wood remains of Piper and Leo's wedding case.
Christina finishes and Chris stands, holding the microphone, looking straight at his family, his voice almost inaudible he speaks the last line,
"Cause I'm only human."
The last image flashes into view in blue orb effects, one sorrowful green eye, with the words imposed across the image, 'Only Human.'
The stage lights go dark, then the image flicks out of existence, and the crowd goes wild, nobody notices the Halliwells sitting in stunned silence.
