Meanwhile at the Manor, Chris has decided to help Kristin develop her sense of hearing, to compensate for her sight. After an hour of this the twins take a break, Kristin was learning her way around the downstairs of the Manor, thanks to Chris' lessons and a new found power. " Wait, so you've got a night vision kind of power now? " Chris asks.
" I guess so. Well, actually it's more like sonar. I can see everything through the vibrations in the floor. "
" So, it's like a bat's echolocation? " Chris muses, " Interesting, you might not have discovered this power for quite some time yet if not for your eyes getting flash burned. "
" True, now, we just need to work on my other powers so I can hit what I need to hit. " Kristin says.
" You're right. Ready to get started? " Chris asks.
Before they can Piper, Paige, and Phoebe all orb in, " Mom, what's up? "
Piper looks at Chris, " Wyatt's in trouble, he had Denise taken to Magic School. "
Kristin casts out with her telepathy only to get rebounded, mentally and physically, " Damn, talk about a barrier. " Kristin snaps.
Piper watches as Chris helps her up, " So, what do we do. "
" We need Rue. " Chris says, " She can astral out. She might be able to get to Wyatt and give us some information we can use. "
Phoebe sighs, " Why didn't one of you get the astral projection power? "
" Oh, can it woman, call your daughter. " Piper says.
" After everything I suffered through to ensure your eldest son would grow up to be good. " Phoebe says.
Paige groans, " Oy, enough you two, before Kristin clocks you both. "
Kristin grins, she could do that. Piper sighs, " Phoebe, call Rue. "
Phoebe nods and calls for her eldest child. Rue hearts in, " What's up? "
" We need you to astral out and find out what's happening to Wyatt. " Phoebe says.
Rue nods and astrals out. When she returns she looks at her mom and aunts,
" School secretary is a demon, she has him trapped. Her mission is to ensure the next generation doesn't come. That's why he had Denise taken to Magic School. "
" How? " Piper asks.
" With the help of our cupid, Drake. " Kristin answers.
" Wait, you three know who your cupid is? " Piper asks.
Kristin sighs and focuses on Drake. The half cupid blinks when he sees he's at the Manor, " Oh, joy, has that time come already? " he asks sarcastically.
" Afraid so, Drake. " Chris says, " Guys, in the alternate timeline Drake and Kristin had quite the affair going on. Of course, Drake died shortly after Kristin and I turned seventeen. "
Drake snorts, " You call getting run through by Excalibur dying? I was murdered, because the evil Wyatt hated the fact he had a sister that could match him evenly in a power battle when he didn't have Excalibur with him. "
" All right, so, you two have gotten back together and you're my children's cupid? " Piper sums up.
" Yes, but there's more, mom. In the alternate timeline Drake died before I could tell him I was pregnant. I had just found out, so in three years a very precocious two year old will be showing up. " Kristin says.
Piper groans, " God, I hate time travel. "
" Tell me about it. " Paige says.
" Anyhow, we have to get Wyatt out of there. " Chris says.
Rue nods, " He's in the teacher's lounge. "
Kristin sighs and heads for the stairs, with her new power she'd be fine. They needed a vanquishing potion like yesterday. " How is she doing that? " Paige asks.
" Her new power, it's a kind of echolocation. " Chris replies, " Hey, sis, you don't know where the ingredients are. "
" I'm a cook, I have a nose. I also know how to make a vanquishing potion. " Kristin calls back and continues on her way to the attic.
Chris shrugs, " Well, she is a cook. "
" Like mother, like daughter, huh? " Phoebe says.
Coop hearts in just then, " I can't locate Pallas or Patience. "
Phoebe blinks, " Rue? "
Rue closes her eyes and shakes her head. Chris on the other hand, stretches out with his empathic powers fully, " Got 'em, they're all right, just annoyed. "
Phoebe looks at him, " God, you have got to be the strongest empath on the planet. "
Chris sighs, " It's not advisable for me to open myself up this way. By doing so I open myself up to every serial killer out there. Every rape victim, it's not fun, that's why I keep it dialed down all the time. "
Piper blinks, " You've been holding back all this time. "
Chris nods and then gasps, he'd forgot to shut it down, " Damn tornado alley. Damn tornadoes. "
Piper goes over to him, " Chris, you have to close yourself off, now. "
" I can't. " Chris says, dropping to his knees, the pain he was feeling was unimaginable to the sisters, but Kristin was getting a second hand sense of how things were through Chris.
Kristin backs away from the potion table, Chris, at least block me off from it.
I can't it's too much pain.
Drake, bring him up here, better yet, take me down there. I have to help him get it under wraps. Kristin says.
Drake sighs and hearts into the attic where Kristin stood stock still. Drake walks over to her and gently places a hand on her, " Let's go. "
Kristin stiffens, " Demons, inbound. "
Drake curses and hearts her out to downstairs. The young half cupid glares at the demons before him, " You fools don't scare me. "
" Cupids don't fight. "
Drake smirks and launches into a roundhouse kick, while grabbing some potion vials. He throws one and two demons are vanquished, " Ah, you're that half cupid, half demon, aren't you? "
Drake groans, " No, I'm half cupid, half whitelighter, nimrod. "
When the Charmed Ones hear the commotion in the attic the leave Rue to watch over Chris and Kristin while the twins get Chris' empathy back under control. Piper gets up to the attic in time to see Drake use light arrows to vanquish demons. Piper blows up the last two demons, " What the hell…. ? "
Drake sighs, " I'm half cupid, half whitelighter, I'm a lovelighter, like your children are witchlighters. "
" That would make your mother the whitelighter. " Piper says as Paige and Phoebe come in.
" You're kidding me, a lovelighter. " Phoebe says.
" Yes. " Drake says, " My active power is my light arrows. "
" Light arrows? " Coop asks, having come up with the sisters.
" Well, my power took cupid's arrow a little too far, so I have light arrows to defend myself with. " Drake says.
" I see, so, which cupid is your father? " Coop asks.
Drake sighs, " Dexin. "
Coop nods, " I know him. I'm surprised the Elders allowed your parents to…. "
" They didn't. I'm like Paige, a forbidden love child. " Drake replies.
Back in the teachers lounge Wyatt is trying to loosen his bonds the old fashioned way, with mortal ingenuity. That wasn't working very well, but he had to get free. Ms. Perkins had left to attend to her duties as secretary, which gave him an opportunity to get loose and get away. Miss Holt, the Home Ec. teacher walks in, " Hello, Wyatt. "
" Miss Holt, are you here to torment me as well? " Wyatt asks.
" Quite the contrary, I'm here to get you out of here. "
" I don't understand. "
She smiles and unglamours herself, Wyatt stares at her, " Who are you? "
" Krista Ashley Halliwell, your niece. You weren't supposed to die today, but in my time you did, and that left that pig headed son of yours without anyone to truly guide him on his path. He went psycho and nearly wiped out the whole family. I read up on the family history and realized that you died before he was born. So, I came back to stop it, with some help. Every teacher, except for me is a demon or warlock. They will continually try to kill you. " She explains all this while freeing him, " Let's get you out of here, Rider, Reilly, come on. "
Two boys shimmer in and Krista orbs them all out to the Manor. Everyone, still stunned by discovering Drake was a lovelighter looks at the new arrivals, " Wyatt, are you all right? " Piper asks.
" Yeah, I'm fine. "
Krista steps forward, " I could reverse those lovely flash burned eyes for you, Kristin. "
" Nah, I've got it covered. " Kristin says.
Krista looks at her brothers and then sighs, " Trust me, you'll want your sight back for what's to come in the next week. "
Piper stops her, " Just who are you? "
Krista sighs, " Just one of your future grandkids, come back in time to stop the family from getting annihilated by Wyatt's son, that's all. "
" Which one of my kids do you belong to? " Piper asks.
Chris sighs, " She's mine, so are the other two with her. "
" How do you know that? "
" They're part phoenix. " Chris retorts.
Piper groans, " Good grief! So, you've met Bianca again, have you? "
Chris winces, " Yes, but, Mom, she saved my life. "
" All right, fine, I guess I'm stuck with a phoenix for a future daughter-in-law. " Piper says.
Rider speaks up, " If Krista hadn't come home when she did, Reilly and I would be dead. She was too late to save anyone else. I think our dear cousin was hoping she'd show up too late to save anyone. "
" Oh, by the way, dad, Auntie K, you two still owe me your Home Ec. assignment from last week. " Krista says.
" You're Miss Holt. " Chris says.
Krista nods and heads for the kitchen, " I can't reveal too much, except that you have to keep Wyatt alive. "

Author's Note- I know, cliff hanger, but it worked. I have Marisol Nichols playing Krista and her glamoured teacher self, Miss Holt because Krista is her mother's daughter. I have the twins played by the same person because they do look identical. Their powers aren't, but well, neither are Chris and Kristin's. I'll go into more detail about the future that Chris children came from in later chapters, but only the children will be talking about it amongst themselves.
