Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed. I do own Kristin, however, and if you want to use her, please ask me first. Same thing with posting my story on other sites, ask me first.

Author's Note: Thankyou to those who sent me the information on who plays Patty and Grams. I really appreciate it.

The next morning dawned to show Kristin still sleeping five minutes before it was time to head to class. Leo decides to wake her up and finds himself sailing backwards out of her bedroom door. When everyone hears Leo slam into the opposite wall they race upstairs and Chris laughs before walking in, and encountering no resistance, " Kristin, time to wake up. "

The female teenager groans as she sits up, " Stupid shadow, interrupting my sleep. " With that said she snaps her fingers and is dressed for the day, her hair, however, still looked like gremlins had played with it.

Piper shakes her head, " That's personal gain, young lady. "

" It's also thirteen years worth of instincts, so forgive me if I don't break out of old habits easily. " Kristin retorts.

Chris flinches, his sister was pissed, " Mom, please, let her adjust to not having to look over her shoulder, at home, all the time. "

Piper sighs, " I guess I can agree to that. Chris, when are you going to release your grandma? "

Chris blinks, " Oh, I completely forgot about that. "

Kristin telekinetically summons her brush and gets her hair done, putting it up today. She grabs her backpack and she was out the door. Wyatt and Chris follow her, Chris grabbing a Poptart for Kristin, and they head to school. Wyatt leaves them in the halls to head for his friends. This left Chris and Kristin to fend for themselves. After they get what they need from their lockers they turn around to find the school bully, Avery Archer behind them. " How precious, the little twins together. "

Chris glares up at him, " Shut up, Avery. "

" Why should I? It's not like I have any reason to be scared of you two. "

Chris pulls his sister to his side and walks away. Get to class, Kristin. I'll try and keep the oaf busy.

Kristin heads off to her classes while Chris turns to face Avery, " If you ever mess with Kristin Wyatt and I will both be all over you before you can even blink. "

" Like you can stop me, Halliwell. You may act tough, but you still rely on your brother to protect you. "

" Like hell I do. I'm the captain of the basketball team, remember, piss me off too much and I'll bench your sorry ass. " Chris retorts.

" You don't act like a jock. "

" That's because I realize that I'm not better than everyone else. I don't have to act cool to be cool. " Chris says and heads off to class.

The younger Halliwell male finds himself cornered in PE. " No one threatens to bench Avery. "

Chris smirks, " I will bench whoever I feel like benching. "

At the same time on the other side of the school Avery corners Kristin in a janitor's closet. He has her pinned against the wall and Kristin tries to get a hand up to freeze him. Wyatt.

In his History class Wyatt blinks, Kristin?

Who else would I be, the Angel of Destiny? Yes, it's me. Now, I have a slight problem.

Such as?

Avery Archer has me pinned in the janitor's closet and if I could get myself out of this I would.

Wyatt glances at his watch, they had already gone over. He was late for study hall. Wyatt sighs and grabs his stuff and heads out the door. Then making sure no one was around he orbs to the hall with the janitor's closet. When Wyatt finds the door locked he curses under his breath. His frustration soon turned to anger as he could barely hear his sister's shout of, " Let go. "

Wyatt magically unlocks the door and yanks it open, " Avery, get your hands off of my sister, before I put you in the Emergency Room. "

Kristin manages to jerk herself out of Avery's hands and she goes to her brother.

" Well, Wyatt, I thought you didn't believe in violence. "

" When it comes to my little sister, I will kick anyone's ass that tries what you just tried to do. " Wyatt growls.

Avery grins, " Careful, Halliwell, or I reveal that you and your entire family are witches. "

By lunch time the three Halliwells were all in foul moods, none more so than Chris, who'd nearly been beaten up, until he used his powers to create a distraction. However, he was pissed when he found out what had nearly happened to his twin. Then the anger turned to shock when Wyatt told him what Avery had said. Kristin, however, remained oddly silent, " Kristin, wake up. " Chris says.

She blinks, " Oh, sorry. I'm too tired to block out all the swirling thoughts and emotions. It can be very distracting, considering how many of the female members of the student body are lusting after my older brother. "

Chris and Wyatt stare at her, " You're kidding. " Wyatt says.

" No, I'm not. They don't seem to like Chris nearly as well. Except those that have actually had his brownies, they're the ones that want to jump him. "

Chris chokes on his water, " What? "

" You heard me, Christopher. " Kristin says and grabs her sandwich and starts to eat it.

Wyatt and Chris look at her, " Do you have to be so blunt. "

" At the moment, yes. " Kristin says.

" Aren't there any guys after you, for good reasons? " Wyatt asks.

" No, there's not. They're either scared of me or well….you get the picture. Most of the time they leave me alone, because of the unspoken, mess with a friend of Chris Halliwell and you end up in the ER. "

Wyatt looks at Chris, " What, I told you, no one messes with Kristin. "

Kristin blinks as her sixth sense kicks into overdrive, Horde of demons, inbound.

Chris and Wyatt sigh, How do we vanquish them without skipping school?

I could freeze them. Kristin replies.

Won't work. Wyatt says, You'd have to freeze the entire student body as well.

Or we could send them to the ghostly plane long enough to vanquish the demons. Chris remarks.

Before the very eyes of Kristin and Wyatt their brother disappeared. Kristin managed to grab ahold of Wyatt before she disappeared as well. The siblings look at each other fear for their missing brother evident in both pairs of eyes. Chris, meanwhile, is very confused as to where he was. Until he saw a woman he'd only just seen as a ghost, Prue Halliwell. The sixteen year old stares in shock and goes to the newspaper to see the date of January 17, 2000. Chris sighs, he was in the past, before his Aunt Prue had died, and they didn't know Paige existed.

It was at that moment that Prue noticed him, " Hey, who are you? "

Chris gulps, " Ah, I'm Chris Perry. "

" What are you doing in my house? " Prue asks.

Chris groans, " It's my house too, or it will be. "

" What the hell does that mean? "

Chris sighs, " I'm from the future, the year 2020 actually. "

" Only Halliwells live in this house. "

" All right, my name is Christopher Perry Halliwell, and I would really like to get back to my own time. "

Prue looks at him suspiciously, " Why should I believe you? "

Chris sighs again, " Because I'm Piper's second son, one of a twin set. "

" I don't believe you. " Prue says.

Chris takes a deep breath before reciting, " Power of the witches' rise, course unseen across the skies, come to me who calls you near, come to me and settle here. Blood to blood I summon thee, blood to blood, return to me. "

Piper Halliwell, that is, the one from the future looks at her son, " Chris, what the hell….oh my god. "

" Yeah, that about sums it up. Care to help me convince her that I'm not evil? "

Piper gulps and swallows, mastering her emotions at seeing her sister alive again.

" Right, Prue, this is my second son, Christopher Perry Halliwell, he's one of a twin set. Kristin is still in the future, right? "

" As far as I know. She, Wy, and I were just at lunch. Now I technically don't even exist and won't exist for another four years. " Chris retorts.

Piper grins, " True, now, how the hell do we get back? "

Prue stares at them both, " Wait, he summoned you from the future just to gain my trust? "

" Yeah, let's just say that Chris' story of two separate lifetimes as the same person is rather complicated, he has to do things the hard way. " Piper replies.

Wyatt and Kristin grab their stuff and Chris' and head for Wyatt's jeep, where they drive home. Wyatt looks at his little sister, concern in his eyes, she'd been very withdrawn since Chris had disappeared. Once at the Manor they head to the attic to try and find a way to track Chris down. Unfortunately without Chris around Kristin just couldn't focus, couldn't get into it. Wyatt sighs and goes to his sister only to meet up with an invisible barrier. " Kristin. "

Kristin looks up and Wyatt is stunned by the change in his sister, she looked so vulnerable, " I miss him too. "

" It's different for you, he's not half of who you are. If not for Chris, I'd probably be dead numerous times over, by my own hand. Dammit, I never realized how much of it he took on himself, he eased my suffering, just so I could live. "

Wyatt watches her, so Chris had taken on a lot of her emotional pain and probably let her have it back bit by bit, so she could actually deal with it. " Sis, you have to let me in. "

Kristin sighs, " I can't, my powers project the barrier on their own. Chris is the only one that can penetrate it, and once he has, so can other people. "

" In other words the barrier is a defense mechanism. "

" Yes, it's not like your shield though, I can't control it. It kind of just happens, that way it's harder for…… "

Wyatt groans, he hadn't realized that only Chris would have her powers trust. He knew he had Kristin's trust, it was tenuous, but the bond of siblings connected them. Her powers on the hand had developed the barrier as an automatic defense system to protect Kristin from her adopted uncle. Her powers must have recognized an answering call in Chris. That was why he could get through the barrier no problem. " Kristin, concentrate, try to find Chris. "

Kristin closes her eyes and reaches out to find her twin. Unfortunately for her, the one who had sent Chris to the past had expected this and had a trap ready and waiting. The mental anguish Kristin experienced hit Chris in the past with a major jolt. The sixteen year old groans as his hands fly to his head. " Chris, what's wrong? "

" Kristin. Damn, it's too much. I can't take it. "

Piper looks at her youngest son, concern in her eyes, Chris had never once experienced an empathic overload. " Chris, what happened? "

Chris fights back the pain, " She was trying to sense me out, but whoever did this was expecting it and set a trap, the mental anguish is too much. "

" Oh no, that's not good. " Piper says.

Prue looks at her sister, " Okay, what the hell is going on? "

Piper sighs, " Leo! "

Leo Wyatt, the Charmed Ones whitelighter orbs into the manor, " Piper, whoa, wait, you're Piper, but you're much older. "

" I know, Leo, is there anyway to get us two back to the future? "

" The elders say no. "

" Oh, screw the Elders. " Piper snaps.

Prue blinks, " What did you just say. "

" You heard me. Leo, our daughter needs me and her twin back in 2020, so find a way. Search Magic School for crying out loud. "

Leo looks at Piper, " Well, when you put it that way. "

" I do, dammit, thanks to Grams I just found out that we even have a daughter and I am not going to lose her now. " Piper snaps.

" Mom, please, I can't take you angry yet too. " Chris moans.

Piper blinks and kneels down beside Chris, who had collapsed to his knees from the strain, " I'm sorry, honey. "

" Just get us back. " Chris snaps, he could no longer control his own emotions due to the mental toll his twin's suffering had taken on him.

Piper pulls him to her, " Just rest, okay. We'll find a way to pull it off. "

" Never mind, I decided it was easier to bring us to you. " Wyatt says.

Chris scrambles to his twin, already seeking to soothe and bring her back to herself. " Wyatt, what happened? "

Wyatt sighs and starts to explain, though how he could accurately describe what had happened he didn't know.

Flashback:

Wyatt starts as he hears Kristin's mental scream of anguish and then she collapses, her barrier having come down and Wyatt goes to her, " Kristin, sis, what happened? "

Trap, waiting for me to try to find Chris. Kristin answers and then Wyatt couldn't even feel her through their bond. Minimal though it was, they did have a connection.

" Damn, you need Chris. " Wyatt murmurs and then sighs, " Hear these words, hear my cry, send us now to our brother's side, send us now, send us true, before we end up like Aunt Prue. "

End Flashback:

Chris barely heard a word Wyatt said, he was solely focused on Kristin. He could still sense her, he just had to find her. Sighing he recites the spell once more and his body slumps over. " Oh, not again, first the nightmare ghoul and now this. " Piper groans.

" He's the only one that can help her now, Mom. He has the strongest connection to her. " Wyatt says.

" I wish I had a manual on how to raise you three. " Piper mutters, " Leo, go, find that spell or potion or whatever. "

Leo orbs away and Wyatt looks at his younger siblings, " We need to protect them. "

Piper goes to get some apples and then sets them up around her twin children.

" That'll protect them. God, I've only known her for three days. "

Wyatt sighs, " Chris knows her the best, I don't really know her either, I found that out when Chris was brought here. Do you realize how much of her emotional load he takes on, just so she can live a normal life. "

Piper blinks, " She's suffered that much, why? "

" Because of Grams. " Wyatt reminds her.

" Right, I still need to have a chat with Grams about that. " Piper mutters, " Chris, bring her back to us. "

In Kristin's mind Chris hears his mother's plea and redoubles his effort to find her and bring her back. Alas she was always just out of his reach. He didn't have enough power to bring her back, he could keep her anchored, but that was all. What the hell was he supposed to do? Mom, I can only keep her anchored, I don't have the power to bring her back.

Piper blinks, " Damn. Fine, if one Chris can't do the job, then maybe two can. "

Wyatt blinks, " What does that mean? "

Piper just smiles and reverses the Call a Lost witch spell and finds herself exactly where she and when she wanted to be, " Hello, Chris. "

Chris whips around, " What the hell…. "

Piper sighs, " I need your help. "

" With what? "

" First of all, why didn't you mention you have a twin sister? "

Chris winces, " Right, I probably should have, but I don't need the current you freaking out anymore than you have. "

" Oh, so now, after only knowing my daughter for three days she could end up trapped in her mind because she didn't grow up with the family and gain the mental protections she needed. " Piper says.

Chris pales, " What? "

" Long story, the sixteen year old Chris I have can only keep her anchored, he can't bring her back. "

" So, you need me to bring her back. Won't it be strange to have two Chris' in the same time. "

" Considering the year is 2000 that we're going to…. "

" Aunt Prue is still alive. " Chris says, " All right, let's go and get this over with. "

Piper grins and whisks them away. Wyatt and Prue both blink when they reappear in front of them, " Wait, this is the Chris that came back in time to keep me from turning evil? " Wyatt asks.

" Good to know I succeed. " Chris says, " Don't need my older brother to be evil. Now, I have work to do. "

Chris steps inside the barrier and he too says the spell the younger Chris had said.

In Kristin's mind the two Chris' meet up, " All right, definitely strange. "

" Just keep anchoring her. I'll bring her back. " the Chris in the leather jacket says and off he goes.

When he finally finds her Chris moans and drops to his knees, " Kristin, sis, wake up. "

Her eyes blink open, " You're the Chris that went back in time to save Wyatt. "

" I am. Now, we need to get you out of here. "

" That's not so easy. "

Chris smirks, " Oh, like going back in time and saving our big brother from turning evil is easy? "

Kristin smiles, " I have to give you that. Now, let's go. "

Outside of Kristin's mind the younger Piper and Phoebe have shown up,

" Okay, this is just way too strange. I now know that I'm going to have three children. " the younger Piper says.

The older Piper looks at her, " That's all you can know, otherwise the older version of Chris will have a fit. "

" Oh, right, future consequences and all that. " Wyatt says.

" Right, god, I hated those words, I still do actually. " Piper says.

Phoebe grins, " Man, have you ever changed. "

" I became a mother, to three very powerful children. " Piper remarks.

Wyatt grins and then jerks as a darklighter's arrow hits home. Piper wheels around to face the darklighter, " No one messes with my son. "

" What can you do to me? "

Piper grins, " This, " with that said she blows up the darklighter and pulls out the arrow.

Wyatt grins feebly as the Halliwell twins come back to attention. Kristin sighs,

" Wyatt, can't you stay out of trouble without us? "

" Apparently he can't. " the Chris' remark.

" Funny little brothers. Now, would the Twice Blessed Twins please heal me! " Wyatt snaps.

" My, my, you are a touchy one. " Kristin quips.

The older Chris grins, " Always has been. "

The younger Chris sighs, " Do we have to heal him? "

Piper takes a deep breath, " Christopher Perry Halliwell, Kristin Emily Halliwell, stop teasing your brother and heal him! "

The twins sigh and set to work. Of course, they still had the problem of getting back to 2020. The older Chris grins, " Now, can you send me back. I still haven't done what I'm supposed to do. "

Kristin grins, " I guess we could. "

Chris grins, " I think we should use all the Twice Blessed Power we have at our disposal, so, come on, Wyatt, join in the fun. "

" Why should I? " Wyatt mutters mutinously.

Piper takes another deep breath and Wyatt sees this, " All right, I'm on it. "

Chris and Kristin smirk and Wyatt glares at them, " Let's just do this, before all of his work goes to waste and I turn evil. "

The older Chris smirks and then the three Halliwell siblings start to come up with the necessary spell only now they can't agree on the wording. Piper groans, " Wyatt, Chris, Kristin, focus. "

" Easy for you to say. " Chris and Kristin mutter.

" Sorry, just get the job done. " Piper says.

" Right. " Kristin mutters, " And how do we do that when two of us have heads that are still ringing? "

The older Chris shakes his head, " Sis, use your empathy to redirect, at least long enough to send me back to 2003. "

Kristin sticks her tongue out at him and tries to do as he suggested only it backfired, big time. The younger Chris stumbles as Kristin collapses, " Okay, that I was not expecting. " the older Chris mutters.

" What the hell just happened? " Piper asks.

Leo orbs back in, " The Elders say that time travel's been halted, at least for now. They also told me, that the mental shockwave scrambled Kristin's powers. Chris has to unscramble them. Until Kristin's powers get sorted out, you're all stuck here. "

The older Chris groans, " Terrific, I still have to save Wyatt. "

" Well, I'm good for now, use me as an indicator, now, one of you Chris' need to get to work. " Wyatt says.

The older Chris sighs and goes to his twin. Leo was right, her powers did need to be sorted out. While the older Chris works on sorting out his sister's powers the rest of them talk Well, the younger Chris had his head on his mother's lap, resting, while the rest of them bounced ideas around on how to get back to the future. " What about the loose floorboard, have you guys fixed that? "

Piper looks at the older version of her son, " No, we haven't. I get it. Send a message that way, it could work. Wyatt, would you write it. This Chris needs his rest.. "

Wyatt nods and is followed by Prue. He knew why too, to see if he changed before her very eyes. Wyatt writes the note and sticks it under the floor board and then he orbs back downstairs to find the older Chris panting from his efforts. Piper gently lifts the younger Chris' head and lays him down gently, then she goes to the older one,

" Sweetie, you need to stop. "

" I can't, " he gasps out and once he's finished sorting out Kristin's powers he shudders and collapses.

Piper groans at this, " God, I forgot just how stubborn he is at nineteen. "

The younger Piper speaks up, " Well, there might be a way to reenergize them. "

The older Piper shakes her head, " No. Let them rest. All three of them deserve it. "

" All right, but we can't leave them laying on the floor. " Phoebe says.

Prue walks back in, " We won't. "

Once all three are situated everyone else settles in to wait. Of course, Kristin can never be left alone and almost immediately after being separated from her twin nightmares start to plague her. The demon behind this is another nightmare ghoul. When both Chris' head downstairs it was then that the younger one froze, whipping around and orbing away before anyone else could even figure out what was happening and then the older Chris groans, " Kristin. "

Wyatt blinks, " You don't think…it couldn't be? Another Nightmare Ghoul. "

Piper, the older one, curses very inventively. " Why does this always happen to Kristin? I swear, when I get back I am going to summon Gram's ass and ask her why my daughter had to suffer. "

They all reach Kristin's room in time to see the younger Chris come sailing out. He slams into the opposite wall and gets back to his feet instantly, " No damn Nightmare Ghoul is going to keep me away from my twin! "

Wyatt blinks, Chris was literally glowing with power, " Damn, I guess you weren't kidding when you said no one messes with Kristin. "

Chris rolls his eyes and orbs back into the room. Only this time it was the Nightmare Ghoul that went sailing. " Mom, make the potion. " Chris snaps off as he waves his arm again, to send the Ghoul sailing even farther away.

The future Piper stands stunned for a second, " Future consequences boy, attic, now. "

The older Chris orbs them up there as his younger self keeps at the Nightmare Ghoul. Kristin stumbles out into the hall and follows her twin. Only she uses her power of intangibility to phase the ghoul part way through the floor.

Back in 2020 Phoebe and Paige have found the note, " Damn. " Paige says.

" No kidding. All right, let's get to work. "

The Charmed sisters start to write the spell and once it's done they sigh, " Well, it was definitely an interesting time in the past. " Wyatt remarks once they reform.

Piper was busy looking at her other three children, " All right, I can say it now, future Chris, get back to the past. "

" Hey, you. " Phoebe says, " Don't drive us too insane, okay. "

The future Chris laughs, " Hey, I'm not the one who misused her powers and got them stripped. "

" All right, but I've earned them all back now, smart ass. " Phoebe quips.

Future Chris goes to the book to find the spell, " Right where I remember it being. All right, here I go. "

" Hey, don't take any unnecessary risks, Christopher. " Piper says sternly.

" Yes, mom. " future Chris says, rolling his eyes.

" Don't take that tone with me. I could always go back in time and tell myself to drink a binding potion. "

Kristin blinks, " Hey, not wait just a damn minute, don't punish me for his attitude. My powers are all that's kept me alive for the last fricking thirteen years. "

Piper looks at her daughter, " All right, now, Go! "

" Hear these words, hear the rhyme, Heed the hope within my mind, send me back to where I'll find, what I wish through place and time. "

With that said the future Chris was gone. " This family will never be normal. " Paige says.

" Tell me about it. " Phoebe says.

" Mom, how do we handle school? " Wyatt asks.

" I'll call them and tell them that I needed you three at the restaurant. " Piper says and does just that.

The next morning dawns to show Chris shoving his twin awake. She mumbles something and goes through her morning routine and then walks through the wall. Chris races to catch up before she gets to the stairs and he guides her down. Breakfast and hot cocoa bring Kristin into the land of the waking. Once at school the Halliwell siblings go their separate ways and today Chris had to stay late for basketball practice. Wyatt and Kristin head home and once everyone else has left Chris slumps against the locker room wall.

Then Chris stiffens as he feels an athamé against the left side of his face, " Who are you. "

" I was sent to kill you. "

Chris turns to see a young woman slightly older than him and then he sees the mark on her arm, " You're a phoenix, an assassin witch. "

" That's right. "

" Why kill me, I've done nothing to you. " Chris replies.

She stares at him, " I was hired to do it. "

" Do you always do what you're told to do. " Chris asks.

She can no longer meet his gaze and hold the athamé. It clatters to the floor and she backs away, " You never told me who you were. "

" I'm Bianca. "

" You apparently know who I am. " Chris replies.

" I do. " Bianca says.

Chris looks at her, " The you know that if you tell me what demon sent you, I'll go vanquish it. "

Bianca stares more, why was he doing this? " There's more to life than working for the highest bidder. Make your own destiny, use your powers for good. "

" A power broker. "

" Tell me where. " Chris says decisively. Mom's rule was to always have a vanquishing potion on hand.

Bianca sighs and tells him. When he returns minutes later she looks at him stunned, " Why do this for me? "

" Because you're too beautiful to get vanquished. " Chris says.

Bianca blinks and Chris sighs, his mom would kill him, but he felt compelled to do it, so, he grabs Bianca and pulls her to him, kissing her senseless. The assassin witch looks dazed when he pulls away, " Remember, use your powers for good. "

With that Chris orbs to the parking lot with his stuff and finds his team waiting.

" Hello, Chris, this time your powers can't save you. "

When all of them summon energy balls Chris sends five of them sailing with telekinesis and channels Kristin's power of intangibility to avoid getting hit by the energy balls, " Wyatt, Kristin, I need some help. " Chris calls out as he redirects one energy ball into another warlock.

" They won't come, Chris. "

" Avery. "

" That's right. "

" Aunt Paige, family emergency! "

Paige, with a charge at the moment, straightens as she hears her nephews calls,

" Lissa, I have to go. "

The woman nods and Paige orbs away to find Chris barely holding his own.

" Energy ball. "

The teen warlocks curse and then Paige gets hit. Bianca shimmers to the scene, she conjures an athamé and throws it into one warlock, " He's under my protection now. " Bianca snaps.

" Damn Phoenix, switching sides. " Avery snarls and the warlocks blink away.

" Talk about dejá vu. " Paige mutters.

" Terrific my entire team are warlocks and they're pissed because I benched Avery. " Chris mutters, " Bianca, thank you. "

" Hey, you saved me. It was the least I could do. " Bianca says.

" Chris, don't tell Piper until after you've moved out. " Paige says.

" Why, Aunt Paige? "

" Because Piper's all ready met Bianca once and that time Bianca tried to kill her. Mind you this was sixteen years ago, but anyhow… " Paige says.

" My mom told me she'd met my future self. " Bianca says, " It's true then. "

" Very true. " Paige says, " The other you cast a spell to lower inhibitions on us. I'm still pissed about that, but, oh, well. "

Bianca blinks, " That spell's in my mother's Grimoire. "

" So, that's where you got it from. " Paige says.

" Apparently. " Bianca says, " It won't happen again. "

" I know it won't. Meeting Chris has changed you for the better. " Paige says,

" Why didn't you call for Wyatt and Kristin? "

" I did, but the warlocks blocked my call. " Chris retorts.

" I see. Bianca, watch over him. " Paige says and orbs away.

Chris walks over to Bianca, " My aunt is right, we'll have to keep it low key until the right time. "

Bianca smiles, " I'll be watching over you. "

" I'm counting on it. " Chris replies and gives her a long, lingering kiss.

When Chris finally gets home Piper pounces, " Mom, I just found out my entire team are warlocks. I barely got out of there alive, as it is I had to call Aunt Paige, because they blocked my calls from reaching Wyatt and Kristin. "

Piper blinks, " Oh, well. "

Chris heads to the table and eats his food, then he orbs upstairs. Wyatt and Kristin are both waiting for him. Wyatt casts a spell to make eavesdropping, in any form impossible, " All right, spill, what really happened? " Wyatt says.

Chris sighs, " After practice an assassin witch came after me, but she couldn't bring herself to kill me once I started to reason with her. I vanquished the demon that hired her to kill me, and then…"

" Then what? " Kristin asks.

" I might've kissed her. "

Wyatt groans, " Leave it to you to fall for an assassin witch. "

" She have a brother? " Kristin asks.

Chris laughs at this, " I didn't ask and she didn't say. What I didn't tell mom is that Bianca helped out with the fight after I called for Aunt Paige. "

Kristin raises an eyebrow, " There's more, you're holding back. "

Chris groans, " There might have been another kiss or two after Aunt Paige left. "

Kristin stares at her twin, " That's a little white lie. "

Chris glares at her, " All right, it was a full blown make out session, happy. "

" Yes, I am. " Kristin says.

Wyatt shakes his head, " Mom will kill you when she finds out, Chris. "

" She won't, at least not until I'm ready for her to find out. " Chris replies.

" How will you block Aunt Phoebe? " Kristin asks.

Chris grins, " I'll take a page out of your book and block her, at least from my emotions. "

" All right, we'll cover for you. " Wyatt says.

Chris sighs, " Thanks, bro. "

" Oh, I could keep him from squealing. " Kristin quips.

" How? " Wyatt asks.

" I'm a telepath, remember. " Kristin retorts.

Chris laughs as Wyatt magically throws a pillow at their sister and soon all three are involved in an all out magical pillow fight. They collapse laughing and soon it's time for them all to go to bed. Kristin sighs as she braids her hair, well, if Chris could find someone then there had to be a guy out there for her. The only question was where.

The female teen burrows under her covers and settles in to sleep. Around two in the morning she jolts awake and before she has a chance to even react two men dressed all in black gag her and bind her hands and feet.

Chris, Wyatt, wake UP! Kristin calls out telepathically.

Wyatt snaps awake in his room and orbs to his sister, he knew by now that she only got that loud when she needed immediate help. " What the hell…. get away from my sister. "

The men in black curse, so much for getting out of here before the older brother came. The one sends an energy ball at Wyatt while the other sends one at Kristin. Kristin's barrier flares and protects her while Wyatt's own shield defends him. Mom, Chris, wake up!

Chris tosses and turns in his sleep, wanting to wake and go to his twin, he knew she needed him. He could sense her emotions even now. Finally Chris forces himself awake and reaches Kristin's room at the same time as Piper does. Piper blows one warlock up while Chris sends the other sailing. Kristin's eyes widen as she senses the incoming darklighters. Chris, Wyatt, darklighters inbound.

Chris orbs to his twin as Wyatt whips around and gets his shield up, but not before two arrows find their mark. One hits Chris and the other hits Kristin. Piper sees this and gets pissed, " What have I said about attacking me and my family in my home! No one messes with my children. "

With this said Piper blows all the darklighters up at once and then she races to her twin children, and pulls the arrows out even as she shouts, " Paige, get your ass here now. "

Paige orbs in sleepily but she forgets all that as she starts to heal Chris. Wyatt sets to work healing Kristin and once the twins have been healed Kristin looks at Wyatt and rolls her eyes. He blinks, " Oh, right, sorry, sis. " Wyatt says and ungags her and then finishes what Chris had started to do and unties their sister.

" Why me? " Kristin asks.

" Because you're a Halliwell. " Piper says, " Though I am grateful that you're a telepath, otherwise you'd've been long gone before we realized it. "

" Why was I the first one to get here? " Wyatt asks.

" I was spelled, they knew she'd call out to me first, hell, she didn't need to, it was all I could do to wake up. " Chris replies.

" So, to get one twin they try to take the other one out of the equation, then maybe we need to have more twin power around here. My girls could stay here, one in each room. " Paige says.

" No, I won't endanger them. " Chris says.

" He's right, we can handle this. " Kristin says firmly, " Now, I don't know about the rest of you but I would appreciate some sleep. "

You mind? Chris asks.

You can stay, might be the only way either of us can ever get some sleep. Kristin quips.

The weekend was finally upon the Halliwell siblings, and Chris and Wyatt had decided that their sister needed to have some fun, and they also needed to work on her orbing. That was the first thing they did, they tried to figure out what her trigger was. Which was proving to not be very easy. " All right, fear isn't the trigger, like it was for Aunt Paige. " Wyatt says.

Chris sighs, neither was shock, anger, love, happiness, hate, or frustration. What else was left? At that moment both brothers get hit by darklighter arrows, Kristin wheels around, how the hell had she not sensed them. Blows the one up, throws her athamé at the other and then she is grabbed by two warlocks. Before she gets blinked out she manages to telekinetically remove the arrows and telepathically calls out, Aunt Paige, Chris and Wyatt need you now!

Once Paige has Wyatt healed the pair of them heal Chris. Chris moans, " Where's Kristin? "

" She wasn't here when I got here. She called me to you though. " Paige says.

Chris instantly reaches out to his twin only to be physically blasted back. " Okay, someone's blocking me. "

" What was your first indication? " Wyatt asks. That was when Kristin reappears in those swirling white lights. Paige was at her side in an instant, healing her.

" Apparently you found the trigger. " Wyatt says.

" Yeah, desperation. "

Paige laughs, " Your orbing trigger is desperation, it must take a lot then. "

Kristin flips to her feet, " Hell yeah, you try being surrounded by all manner of evil creatures and them blocking every active power you have. Next thing I knew, I was back here. "

" No fair, I could only orb in place at first. " Paige says, " Why are all three of you twice blessed? "

" We just are. " Chris replies.

" Yeah, now, can we please go do something fun. We found the trigger. " Kristin says.

" All right, let's go. " Wyatt says, and all three of them pile into his jeep. Wyatt pulls in at the mall and Kristin blinks when her brothers drag her into the Gap.

" You need a new wardrobe. " Chris says, " It's sad when you have to glamour the same outfit to look different each day. "

" But the Gap. Guys, seriously, I'm more of a Wal-Mart type of girl. " Kristin says.

" This is Mom's birthday present to you. " Wyatt says.

" She also said you have to get a dress. " Chris says.

" Hell will likely freeze over before I own a dress. " Kristin retorts.

Chris is literally staggered by the amount of hatred he's feeling from his twin, all directed at dresses. " All right, no dresses. " Chris says.

Wyatt looks at his brother and Chris just shakes his head. It took quite some time to actually get Kristin to try something on let alone find something she liked. It took quite some cajoling before she finally had a decent wardrobe. Though none of the siblings were going to go together underwear shopping. Which is why Phoebe had agreed to meet them there. When she tries to drag Kristin into Victoria's Secret that same desperation seizes Kristin and she orbs. The brother's groan, but fortunately no one had noticed. Not even the store security cameras due to Kristin's latent technopathic powers. Phoebe blinks, " What the hell just happened? "

" Desperation triggers her power to orb. " Chris answers.

" Kristin, you're going in. "

" Hell no, I am not trying to seduce anyone. " Kristin fires back.

Chris can't help it, he laughs. Kristin shoots a venomous glare at her twin, Careful, brother dear or I'll see if I can't help Bianca find something to set your blood on fire.

Chris blanches and shuts up. Phoebe sighs, " All right, to J.C. Penny then. Boys, go hang out. "

Chris and Wyatt head to the book store and Wyatt looks at Chris, " What did she say? "

" Not here. " Chris hisses. Merely the thought of actually seeing what Bianca did wear under her clothes was enough to send his hormones rioting. Which, he admitted, ruefully, to himself is exactly what his twin wanted. Her vengeance for laughing at her.

Kristin found herself hating shopping more and more by the second, her Aunt kept trying to get her to try on thongs and other such stuff. Kristin takes a deep breath and says, " Aunt Phoebe, I know you mean well, but I am not a thong person. "

Kristin had unknowingly lowered her guard enough for Phoebe to sense her emotions, " Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry. You're right, you're only sixteen, plenty of time to hook you up with someone. "

Kristin sighs in relief and when they find the boys they were in the midst of a full blown argument. Kristin and Phoebe each focus on one brother. Kristin goes over to her twin and leads him some distance away, " All right, what the hell was that about? "

Chris sighs, " Wyatt wanted to know why I backed off so quickly on the dress issue. When I told him he decided we should make you get one anyhow. "

By the time they got home Piper was there, " All right, let's see the dress. "

Kristin steps forward, " I didn't get one. "

" Why the hell not! "

" Because, mom, I hate them, I have hated dresses for as long as I can remember. I don't know why, but I do. "

" Tough, you will own at least one dress! "

Kristin's eyes flash, " Hell no! I will not own one of those stupid, two bit, fashion disaster, sex appeal contraptions! "

Piper glares at her daughter, " Yes, you will, I need a hostess for Rapture. "

" You're going to use your own daughter as a sex object! " Kristin shouts.

Phoebe and Chris both moan at the intense feelings pouring off of mother and daughter. " Not a sex object, just to add some visual appeal to the overall ambiance. "

" Nice to know how you really think of me. " Kristin says and then she orbs off. Blocking herself off from even Chris.

" Oh, dammit. That went wrong. " Piper snaps.

" Piper, remember when Paige wouldn't move in with us? " Phoebe asks.

" God, tell me I didn't treat my daughter like a tool to be used. " Piper moans.

" You blew it, Mom, now even I can't find her. " Chris says.

Wyatt remains silent, for some reason he could still sense Kristin. He orbs off and finds Kristin at the park, " So, why did you let me find you? "

" Because you won't try to make me go back. " Kristin says.

" Until you're ready to, at any rate. So, you really don't know why you hate dresses? " Wyatt asks.

" No, I just have always hated them since I got old enough to have an opinion on what I want to wear. " I didn't mind them from infancy up to three, after that I couldn't stand them. "

" Doesn't help that the only friend you've ever had is your twin. " Wyatt remarks.

Kristin looks at him, " No kidding, he was the only one that would stick up for me. "

" That's changed, sis. " Wyatt says.

" Has it? " Kristin remarks.

Wyatt sighs, " I knew how mom would react. "

Wyatt winces at the glare Kristin sends his way, " Who cares. "

It was in that moment that Wyatt realized exactly what Kristin really needed, a mother's unconditional love. He knew their mom loved her, but she also didn't know Kristin. Neither did he, but he was learning, " What would you like to do? " Wyatt asks.

Kristin blinks, " Go to the zoo. "

Wyatt grins and orbs them off. By the time Wyatt brought her back home Kristin was happier, but the instant she saw Piper her happiness evaporated on the spot. Kristin heads to her room without saying a word. " How do I gain her trust back? " Piper asks Wyatt.

It was Phoebe who answered though, " By getting to know her before you ask things of her. Piper, she lived in an abusive home for thirteen years. You have to give her space. "

Chris looks towards his twin's room, she still hadn't reopened their bond and he felt alone without it. Kristin?

When he receives no answer Chris orbs to his own room and he sighs. By Monday Piper's youngest children aren't speaking to her. Chris because his twin had cut herself off from him and Kristin because Piper had tried to use her as eye candy for the male patrons of Rapture. Once in class Chris sighs as he opens his notebook and prepares to take notes. As Chris writes down the notes his German teacher was dictating he thinks about the situation at home. Kristin still hadn't restored their bond and Chris had a feeling he knew why, he hadn't stood up for her.

Chris ambles through the day, taking his notes as usual but his participation was way down, he could only focus on taking the notes. His teachers meet up at lunch concerned, one of their star students wasn't participating like he normally would. His brother was the same, and their sister, she barely even paid attention right now. She took the notes, did the work, but the joy was gone out of all three Halliwell siblings, " I'm guessing trouble at home. They do all have to adjust to having Kristin there. " Miss Holt says, she was the Home Ec. teacher.

" Good point, are there contradicting opinions at the Halliwell home? "

" Probably contradicting situations. "

The Halliwell siblings are all sitting at the same table but Wyatt was the only one talking. He could see the misery in his sibs faces and knew they needed to talk. He waves his hands, " All right, we can talk freely. "

Chris sighs, " Kristin, stop blocking me, I can't take it. "

" Try imagining being me. Not only did I hear what she said but I heard her thoughts. Felt her emotions. " Kristin says.

Chris and Wyatt both look at her, " All right, go to Aunt Phoebe's after school, Kristin. We'll talk to mom. " Chris says.

Kristin nods, but to Chris' dismay she still doesn't restore the bond. When the brothers got home the first thing Chris did was seek out their mother, " Do you realize what you've single handedly done, you broke the bond between the Twice Blessed Twins! She shut the bond off! Because of you the best friend I've had my entire life has cut me off and I hate it. I never realized exactly how big of a part of me that bond was, until I no longer had it! "

Piper stares at her youngest son, to say she was shocked would be an understatement, he had never yelled at her. Not like this, not with anguish and dismay in his voice, the anger nearly hid it, but Piper could still hear her youngest son's pain and it broke her heart. " Chris, " Piper starts.

" No, I'm not finished yet. She can hear your every thought, feel your every emotion. How do you think it made her feel when she felt the fact that you viewed her only as a means to enhance your business. You haven't really accepted her yet! I can sense it now. My love for you blinded me to it. Because of it my own twin might be lost to me forever now! "

Wyatt silently watches this. Chris normally kept his emotions to himself. Never let on when he was hurting or feeling like crap. Chris was the biggest contradiction of all. He'd take on everyone's emotions except his own. Chris couldn't deal with his own emotions. To see Chris like this made Wyatt retthink his opinion of his little brother. The bond his younger twin sibs shared helped Chris more than he realized. Chris didn't know how to handle things without that bond.

Patty, whom Chris still hadn't released, walks over to her grandson, " Chris, my mother is behind this, I know it. She didn't want it known about you two, so I'm sure she decided to drive a wedge between your mother and Kristin, not realizing that anything that effects Kristin effects you as well. Your strength comes from your bond with Kristin, without it you feel alone and vulnerable and you hate that. "

Piper shakes her head as Penny Halliwell's spell wears off, then she storms into the attic to summon Penny. When Grams appears she knows she's in for it, " You made me alienate my own daughter, how dare you! "

Downstairs Wyatt heads for the kitchen as Chris breaks down and cries in his grandmother's arms. " Chris, you're not like Kristin. You can't channel your emotions into your powers like she can. You have to let it all out some time or it will consume you, " Patty says.

" I can't, or Kristin won't be able to handle what's happened to her. " Chris says.

Patty sighs, he was right, without him to share the emotional burden Kristin might likely be overwhelmed by her emotions and could quite possibly kill herself. Chris contradictory personality of self sacrifice and stubborn determination could possibly get him killed one day. He sacrificed his own emotional stability for his twin's sake, yet he stubbornly refused to admit it was a problem.

Little did Patty know how right she was. Kristin hadn't stayed at Phoebe's long. She'd gone to the same park Wyatt had found her at and was holding her athamé above her wrist. At the same time Phoebe had picked up the glass of cocoa Kristin had drank from and is hit by a premonition. She gasps when she sees it, " Chris, Wyatt! "

Chris was the first to answer the call, " What is it? "

" It's Kristin, she left awhile ago. I just had a premonition. " Phoebe says.

Chris can feel dread start to pool in the pit of his stomach, " What was in it? " Chris asks as Wyatt orbs in.

" My premonition showed her slitting her own wrist with her athamé. Chris, you have to stop her. " Phoebe says.
