When the bright light around him cleared Wyatt quickly scanned the room. He considered forming an energy ball but knew if the summoners had the power to breakthrough his protective enchantments then he would be little match for them with one energy ball. Staring around the room he realised he was in the attic of the manor, but everything was different. Instead of the red velvet roped and tidy efficiency of the Manor Museum it was the cluttered chaos which reminded him of when the power of three had still been intact, and where he had place a hologram of the book of shadows, the real one now stood in pride of place- although noticeably thinner then the one he had stolen years ago.

Hearing a voice he turned around to face the witched that summoned them. His heart leapt into his mouth as he stared into the face of his Aunt Phoebe, who had died at his mercy many years ago, scanning his eyes around the rest of the faces he saw a man who he hadn't seen before and a woman who looked oddly familiar. They were standing closest to them, both adopting defensive stances. As he continued to pan the room his eyes rested on a very familiar figure- his father, looking much younger here standing protectively in front of what Wyatt recognised as his and Chris' old play pen. Finally his eyes sought out the one he wanted to see most in the world as standing of to the side, her arms raised, stood his mother, Piper Halliwell. Wyatt's heart began racing as he opened his shocked mouth to try and force out words.

"Mu..Mum?" He stuttered, staring into her dark, brown eyes. The woman looked shocked, turning to her companions with a confused stare.

"Wa..err... did he just call me mum." The others were also staring, wide eyes and Wyatt turned to great the rest of them.

"Dad? Aunt Phoebe?" Seeing her face brought back so many memories of the night she and Coop had been defeated by his Demons. Slowly his brain put together the rest of the pieces as he faced the other witch, "Au..Aunt Prue?" Now all the sisters were exchanging looks whilst the demon and white-lighter didn't take their eyes off stranger.

"And who are you?" Asked Cole, who seemed to be the only one keeping a straight head as they faced the man.

"I'm Wyatt." He replied simply, before turning his head back to Piper, "your son."

Piper covered her mouth, stepping forward towards the tall figure as if she were about to release him, Cole however blocked her path, not willing to trust Wyatt just yet.

"Prove it." Said Prue, who was also suspicious as to why her grown up nephew would be summoned in place of the source.

"Yeah, I mean you don't look anything like our Wyatt." Said Phoebe jokingly, indicating the baby who was sound asleep in his crib.

"True." Replied Wyatt, thinking fast as to how he was going to convince his family. "But I do have his powers." Leo nodded his head but Prue crossed her arms.

"He's just a baby, what makes you think he has any powers?" She asked, trying to trip up the person she believed to be an imposter. Wyatt just gave her a cunning smile.

"Please, I was protecting mum with mu shield since the womb." He stated proudly, "I also know I had healing powers as a toddler and could orb but I don't know if that will have developed yet." Looking around the room he could tell that he still hadn't convinced them so he continued. "Also as at that age I had now control over my shield I raised it instinctively if I sensed any threats, but I bet if I approached him he wouldn't view me as dangerous and so his shield would remain down." Phoebe nodded at this logical test but Cole simply scoffed.

"Did you really think we'd fall for that." He questioned, taking another step towards the caged man. "for you to approach Wyatt then we'd have to let you out of the crystal cage and move away from him, leaving us and him vulnerable to attack." The girls looked concerned at Cole's words but Wyatt just rolled his eyes.

"Baby me wouldn't be vulnerable to anything as my shield was strong even then, similarly you are the charmed ones, a white-lighter and I'm guessing a fifth magical being." He said, still not certain which of his parents old acquaintances he was dealing with, "do you really think I'd be stupid enough to attack such a concentration of power on their own territory?" Phoebe frowned at his words.

"If you're really from our family in the future then why don't you know Cole?" She asked, dreading the answer. Wyatt's eyes grew when Phoebe said his name. He had heard many stories about Phoebe's ex-husband and first true love. He knew he was a powerful demon who would never let anyone hurt Phoebe. Before he could reply however Prue put up her hand to stop him.

"Don't answer that." She commanded, the others gave her confused looks and she sighed at their foolishness. "If he really is from our future then he can't tell us anything that would change it too much otherwise their could be terrible future consequences." She explained before turning back to Wyatt. "If you really are Wyatt then prove it inside the cage." She instructed. When her nephew looked confused she rolled her eyes and elaborated, "create a small shield like Wyatt's, the cage doesn't stop you from using magic just from it escaping so you should be able to make one." The group nodded at this wisdom and Wyatt shrugged, quickly creating a bubble of blue matter which he expanded until it covered him completely.

"Satisfied?" he enquired, "or would you like me to show you more?" Without waiting for an answer he enlarged his shield further so it began pushing against the edge of the cage, slowly the crystals began to move backwards, then with one final push they flew away, freeing Wyatt from his imprisonment as he once more lowered his shield, putting his hands up to show good faith.

As one the others looked to Prue and Cole who seemed the most in control of the situation. They were both stating at the figure stunned however and, taking advantage of their surprise, Wyatt slowly moved towards his baby self, passing his unresisting father and gently picked up the sleeping form from his crib, rocking him gently so he wouldn't wake up.

"Aww, wasn't I cute." he said with a devilish grin, looking up to face the witches and their partners. No one moved or spoke for a second until Piper practically ran forward, embracing her future son warmly as he held his younger self.

"Wyatt!" She breathed as she did so.


It was several hours after that by the time Chris and Paige arrived in the future. The attic was now deserted as the group had moved down to the kitchen once they were certain it was Wyatt.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" whispered Paige hesitantly, "I don't see any sign of a struggle, I mean in a fight of the charmed ones verses the source I'd have thought their may have been at least a couple of broken windows but it seems the same as it always did." Chris looked around quickly, taking in the scattered crystals and abandoned potions.

"The spell should have taken us to where Wyatt is but we're probably a few hours late." Chris walked over to the book of shadows, seeing it had been left open. He quickly glanced at the spell and realized the sisters had been trying to summon the source which presumably meant they had a plan to kill him. Chris checked for any scorch marks or ash which could signal his brothers demise but then considered the scattered crystals and potions and his mind quickly put together what happened. "I'm guessing their wasn't a battle." He informed his aunt, "I'm guessing they trapped him in a cage and he was able to prove who he was." He stated, his stomach plummeting as he realized just how much harder that would make this job.

"So your saying that Piper knows Wyatt's her son?" She clarified, her mind jumping to the same conclusion Chris' had. "Well that's it then, we can't do anything to Wyatt as if we try she'll probably brow us up." Chris nodded hopelessly but knew they were going to have to try any way. Wyatt couldn't be allowed to run around in the past and they would need the sisters help if they wanted to return to the future any way.

"Can you sense where Wyatt is now?" Asked Paige- her sensing skills had not progressed but further than feeling the near by presence of evil and hearing her charges calls. Chris closed his eyes and sense two Wyatt's, frowning he found that Wyatt was both in the kitchen, along with five other magical beings as well as alone in the living room. He opened his eyes, wondering which Wyatt they would have left unguarded.

"One of him is alone in the living room and the other is with the sisters in the kitchen." He informed Paige who nodded slowly thinking it through.

"Okay, well if Wyatt has only just arrived then we'd have wanted to talk about him without him being there so we'd have probably left him in the living room and then Piper- overcome with maternal instincts would have kept the other one close to her." She stated reasonably.

"Well if your right then this would probably be the best time to make our move." Suggested Chris, pulling out two potions from his bag. "If one of us orbs in in front of him and the other behind and throw these at the same time then he'll probably only be able to stop the forwards attack, only realizing about the other one until it's two late." He reasoned. "This should knock him out for a couple of hours so we can talk to Mum, you and Phoebe without him interrupting." As he spoke he tossed one of the potions to Paige, who examined it for a second before nodding.

"Okay, but if the sisters arrive before we can throw the potions..."

"Then I'll deal with my sibling and you deal with yours." Finished Chris. "They are both just as dangerous but I have a feeling it would be easier for you to convince them of who you are then it would be for me. I don't sense another version of me in the house so it will be my word against them." Paige nodded briefly, knowing they didn't have time to argue.

"Okay, but I'll orb in in front of Wyatt, that way if anything goes wrong you can grab him from behind and orb him away before the twice bless can join with the power of three." Chris agreed and then together they orbed out of the attic and in on an unsuspecting Wyatt.


Unfortunately for them Wyatt was not as unsuspecting as they had anticipated. The moment Chris had arrived Wyatt had instantly sensed his presence. He couldn't help but be proud of his little brother, not only had he figured out what had happened to Wyatt but he had also been able to follow him. Despite this however he suspected Chris' intentions weren't to help him with what ever plans he had begun to formulate but rather to insist that he went straight back to the future. As much as he loved his younger brother Wyatt couldn't condone this opportunity being ripped out of his grip so soon, instead he came up with a plan which would hopefully guarantee the sisters help as well as keep little Chris out of his business until he was ready to return home.

When Chris began to orb therefore Wyatt immediately turned round to face the spot his orbs appeared in, ready to fend off any attack his cunning brother threw his way.

Paige arrived at the same time as Chris but was surprised to find Wyatt had turned his back on her, she gasped as she saw his arms twitching, ready to attack and realized Wyatt had known they were coming. Quickly she threw the potion just as Wyatt sent Chris flying over the sofa towards her. When she was certain Wyatt could no longer prevent the attack she quickly hurried over to where Chris had landed, healing the wound that had appeared on his head from the impact and failing to see the potion bottle suddenly being frozen in the air.

"Who the hell are you?" Came the familiar sound of Phoebe's voice as Piper hurried over to her grown up son, grabbing the potion out of the air and making sure he was unharmed.

Paige quickly stood up, her arms raised to show she wasn't going to attack. Phoebe however raised her arms in a defensive position as she stared hostilely at her.

"Phoebe... it's me." She began, taking a step towards her older sister. Seeing Phoebe didn't know what she was talking about she continued, "...Paige... your little sister." Phoebe's look didn't change, she turned her head towards Piper who was also thoroughly perplexed. "You know, the power of three... the third charmed one."

"Talking about me?" Asked Prue as she walked in on the scene. She had been on the way to check the book of shadows when she had heard Phoebe's yell. Paige's eyes widened as she laid eyes on her long dead sister whom she had only seen in pictures and a few times as a ghost. Chris, who had by now stood up of the floor walked over to where Paige was standing, also slightly in shock at this unexpected presence.

"Who are they?" Asked Prue, turning to Phoebe who shrugged.

"I think they're demons." She said. "That one was trying to pretend to be our sister and when we walked it they were both attacking Wyatt." Prue frowned at the two strangers then before either of them could defend themselves she gave a large swipe with her hand, sending the pair of them flying towards the window, landing in tangle of limbs behind the sofa.

"Wait!" Called Chris as he pushed Paige off him, "We're not demons!" Quickly he stood up and then before anyone could say anything he orbed himself and Paige back to where they had been standing originally. "See we're white-lighters, we're good." Phoebe and Prue seemed convinced but Piper, always the protective mother, didn't trust them. Instead she looked up to the ceiling,

"Leo!" She called. Leo had gone up to the heavens to inform the elders of Wyatt's arrival but as soon as Piper called for him he orbed back down to Chris' great surprise.

"Oh yeah sure now he comes." He muttered despondently to Paige.

"What's going on?" Leo asked Piper, eyeing the new arrivals suspiciously.

"White-lighters." Stated Prue simply, "they attacked your son." Leo frowned at the idea of pacifists attacking the twice blessed. He turned to face the intruders but Piper cut in before he could speak.

"If your good then why did you attack Wyatt?" She asked suspiciously. Chris was about to open his mouth to tell her that he was his brother and that technically Wyatt had attacked him, but Wyatt beat him to it.

"They're from the future like me." He informed them. For a second Chris was hopeful that Wyatt would tell the sisters who they were but he should have known better. "I've been working in my time to try and make the world a better place but there are those who want to stop be because they think I'm too powerful and therefore they don't trust me. The elders and most of the white-lighters know my intentions and don't see a need to stop me, but these two aren't pure white-lighters they are also witches, and they envy my power because they believe we should be equals." Chris and Paige were shocked into silence. The terrible thing was that most of what Wyatt said had been truth, he had simply spun it to make them seem evil. "Mum if you don't believe me try freezing them." Piper looked from her son to the two shocked figures and back, raising her hands slowly.

"Piper, your not fully in command of your powers, what if you blow them up?" Voiced Leo nervously. Chris' eyes widened at that idea, he stepped forwards, his arms raised slightly as a sign of peace.

"Wait, okay, it's true we are half witch but I swear we are good witches." He insisted, taking another step towards Piper, "I mean we'd have to be, we are Halliwells after all." Piper looked uncertainly back at him, her hands still raised, as he took another step towards her. "Please mum, you have to believe me." He implored, focusing his Jade eyes on her brown ones. Piper looked almost like she believed him, but then she turned to Wyatt for conformation.

"He's lying." He told the sisters and Leo in an icy tone. "He was my best friend growing up- and I once thought of him as a brother, which is why he'll knows you all so well, but he abandoned me and turned against me- siding with the resistance. So no." He said, injecting his voice with false emotion and fixing Chris with his icy gaze, "he is not my brother." Chris felt his heart plummet as he saw the sister take up defensive stances to protect Wyatt.

"No! He's lying." Cried Paige indignantly, before she found herself once flying across the room as Prue again swiped her arm.

"How can you say that?" Breathed Chris. He could hardly see his brother any more as the face of the source stared at him. He then turned back to Piper. "Please mum, you've got to believe me!" He implored once more, but she trusted Wyatt to much, flicking her hands at him, causing the vase behind him to explode, he flinched and backed away, trying to locate Paige. He didn't want to attack the sisters, he knew he wouldn't win and it would just make them trust him even less.

"What should we do with them?" Phoebe asked Leo as she leapt in the air towards Chris who barley had time to dive out of the way of her powerful kick. "I mean they're witch-lighters, we can't vanquish them."

"I'll take care of them." Proclaimed Wyatt, moving swiftly towards his brother and aunt.

"Paige get out!" Yelled Chris as he pushed Paige out of Wyatt's grip just as Wyatt grabbed him by the neck and orbed out of the manor, leaving Paige alone with her future sisters and brother in law.


So next chapter will be sort of the siblings and a few other familiar faces. Also I know Cole wasn't in this bit but it was just getting to confusing so he'll return shortly :)

Thanks for reading and as ever please do leave a review! Thanks! xxx
