Ho hum, hands are healing... just in time for more exams..

This is to warriora who's letting me use her idea-which shall feature shortly- thank you, And Kittery for the brilliant advice. And of course many thanks to LLC who is the reason this story is not long dead, and also thanks to anyone else who has reviewed whilst I was in the process of writing this. Keep reading guys – at the moment it looks like Cole's winning- your review could change this.

As Leo stepped out of the orbs Victor noticed the boy draw back, and looked at him concerned, but as Leo spoke attention was needed elsewhere

"Victor? Paige? What's going on? Who's the.."

"less talk, more heal and then maybe he can tell us." interrupted Paige "Oh and while you do that.. have you seen Chris.. we can't find him."

Leo, who upon Paige's first statement had stepped towards the boy, turned back to Paige

"I haven't seen him... where are Phoebe Piper and Wyatt?"

"She's making cookies, Phoebe and Wyatt are keeping an eye on her"

"Uh...why?"

"We think the kid hypnotized her or something."

"Hypnotized! Is she ok?" Leo looked panicked, he turned to stare at the kid, who backed away into his grandfather's shoulder and hid his face in his arms, which were crossed over his knees, Victor glared at his (ex) son-in-law, who taken back, modified his face to a more appropriate elder expression.

"He didn't do it deliberately Leo, and unless I'm very wrong, the girls have all lost control of a power at some point."

Leo was now more than a little curious about the silent boy, Victor was getting more worried as the boy drew further into himself

"Leo, he's from the future, he's been fighting demons and is now injured and what's more he's the son of one of the girls, he can't talk and he's got a load of injuries, so would you please, heal him now?" Leo looked a little staggered from the barrage of information thrown carelessly at him by the older man

"son..future?" Paige and Victor nodded, though everyone stopped what they were doing when a pen was T.Ked across the room and into the hand of the boy, one of Pheobe's notebooks soon followed

"Well, that's something we should of thought of" muttered Paige "Leo will heal you now and then it won't matter" she smiled a social worker-ish smile, the boy, looked truly panicked, and flinched back from Leo's hand

"Hey buddy, I just wanna make you better, you don't wanna leave on the stitches and bandages do you? It'll just take a second.." Leo moved his hand closer to the boy who eyed it suspiciously and edged closer to his grandfather, Leo ignored him and started the healing, Paige and Victor watched with interest as the boy tensed and started clenching and unclenching his hand. Suppressing whatever was going on in his mind as the elder healed him.

It wasn't wise of Leo to ignore it

It wasn't wise of the kid to let his guard down

And it most definitely wasn't wise of Leo to attempt to lean in and ruffle the kid's unkempt hair whilst commenting

"that wasn't so bad. Was..."

This chain of foolishness led to a rather impressive telekinetic burst and Leo being slammed down on the floor hard, the boy winced, and bit his lip, he fumbled with the pen and, in a strange loose style wrote "sorry Leo" Victor, who had been about to tell off the boy for throwing his uncle (or father? Victor wondered) across the room looked at the boy

"you still can't speak kid?" the kid momentarily made a "Duh obvious" face, then quickly amended it to a neutral expression, Paige and Leo moving behind the sofa to read over his shoulders

"It's not an injury... it just is." no one could make sense of this statement

"While you've got the pen, we wouldn't mind knowing your name" commented Paige, the boy paused, there was a scream in the kitchen which made all the adults run in that direction, the kid looked thoughtful, then settled for..

"It's the same as Leo's father's.."
