Here is the next update to continue with "I Dream of Phoebe." There are some big changes here and I hope you like it. Thanks once again for the comments. I do not own Charmed!
Gideon paced back and fourth in his office, pausing to look at the mirror every now and again. "We have to find a way to get Leo away from the Charmed Ones." He said to his counter part in the mirror.
"Baby Wyatt's birthday is in a few days and I'm sure he will be there." The other replied.
"What is your point?" Gideon asked, though he had already thought of the answer. "Ah, we can attack him there to try and draw him away from them. He wouldn't want to put his own family in danger."
"Exactly." The other said. "We can attack him and send him to a place where he can't help his family, where he can't protect Wyatt."
"Yes, perhaps we can send him to an astral plane." Gideon thought out loud. It was exactly what his counterpart had been thinking as well. They both smiled contently at one another.
"Then, all we have to do is get their white lighter out of the way." They both said.
Chris headed up to the attic to see if Phoebe had found any information on Bosk in the book of shadows. When he walked in, it seemed that Phoebe was already working on a vanquishing potion. He walked over to her. "Hey, what do you say we put that genie to work?" He said.
She looked at her nephew curiously, not sure of what he was talking about. "We aren't using the genie for anything. What did you want to use her for anyways?" She asked.
"I was thinking that we could, um, use her to get Mom and Dad to..." He started suggesting.
Phoebe cut him off. "Absolutely not." She snapped at him. She couldn't believe he would even suggest such a foul thing.
"Look, I'm running out of time here and if they don't screw soon..." He tried to reply.
She cut him off again. "No, we're not using the genie to make them sleep together." She said as she threw in the last ingredient of the potion. "I'll help you get your parents back together, but it can't be with magic."
"Well, than how are we going to get them back together?" He asked curiously.
"I haven't thought of that yet." Phoebe replied. She grabbed a baster, using it to suck out the potion from the small cauldron and dropped it into a tiny vile.
Piper walked into the attic. "Is that a vanquishing potion?" She asked.
"Yeah." Phoebe said, holding it up.
"Ok, so are we going to summon him or..." Piper trailed off as something crashed though one of the attic windows. Glass shattered and fell to the ground, as a man on a flying carpet made his way towards the genie bottle. His carpet struck Chris, knocking him to the ground. Piper put her arms out trying to blow up the demon with her power, but it seemed useless against him.
A gold amulet around his neck glowed, as Piper's power tried to strike him. It deflected her power. Phoebe threw the potion at him, but it deflected that as well. As Bosk reached for the genie bottle, Phoebe did the only thing she could think of. "Genie, I wish you free." She said. She had wished a genie free in the past and thought that this was her only option to keep the demon from getting her and granting his third and final wish.
Pink smoke billowed out from the genie bottle. Jinny appeared before them, only now she was dressed from head to toe in black clothing, much like a demon. "Well, it's about time. Who's the master now?" She said. Her arm raised back as she formed a fireball in her hand. She thrust it out, instantly vanquishing Bosk. She reached for the bottle.
Everything was happening so fast, that Piper could barely get a grip on what had just happened. She saw Jinny go for the bottle and saw Chris getting to his feet. He was closer to it than she was. "Chris." She shouted, hoping he would go for the bottle.
Chris reached his arm out, using his telekinesis to bring the bottle to him. Piper reached her arms out, trying to use her power on Jinny, but she jumped out of the way and conveniently landed on the flying carpet. She flew out of the window, disappearing from sight.
Chris set the bottle on the table next to him. He and Piper glanced around, looking for Phoebe. "Where's Phoebe?" He asked, thinking that the demon might have taken her.
There was a faint noise, almost as if someone were trying to yell. "Here, in here." He thought he was hearing. His face wrinkled up in curiosity as he picked up the genie bottle and put it up to one of his eyes. He looked in as a familiar voice said. "Hello, master."
"What is it?" Piper asked curiously.
Chris passed her the genie bottle. "I think I found Phoebe." He said.
Piper glared inside the bottle and had to hold back a laugh. "Phoebe?" She questioned. The genie inside looked up at her and nodded. "Well, come on outta there." Piper demanded.
"I can't." She said. "My master has to command me."
"Your master?" Piper questioned.
Phoebe hated to admit it, but she knew that Chris was her master. He was the one who had picked up the genie bottle. "Yeah, Chris." She said.
Piper turned the opening of the genie lamp to Chris and he looked in. "Me?" He asked. Phoebe nodded. "Ok, get out. I command you."
Blue smoke billowed out of the genie lamp and Phoebe appeared donning an outfit that included blue pantaloons and even a long blonde wig. Piper couldn't hold in her laughter anymore. At the site of Phoebe she immediately burst into laughter. "You look ridiculous." She said to her sister.
"I feel ridiculous." Phoebe said. She walked over to a long mirror that stood in the attic. She had a look of pure disgust on her face as she looked in the mirror. Her hands went up to feel her long hair. "Ugh, and a blonde wig." She said, feeling annoyed that she always seemed to have the worst luck with magic.
Piper let out another quick laugh before she called out to Leo, hoping he could help them understand what had happened. Phoebe had wished a genie free in the past and she hadn't become one. Why was she turned into one this time? "Leo." She called.
In a matter of moments, Leo had appeared in the attic. He glanced around, spotting Phoebe and looked at her with concern. "What happened?" He inquired frantically.
"What do you think happened?" Phoebe said back.
"She wished the genie free." Piper said. "And this is what happened."
Leo took the genie bottle from Piper and looked it over. "You didn't read the warning label did you?" He asked, assuming she hadn't.
"There's a warning label?" Phoebe asked back in disbelief.
"Yeah, right here on the bottle." Leo replied, though it was in Arabic and Phoebe wasn't a master in foreign languages. "It says that a sorcerer condemned a demon into the bottle for not marrying her. Who ever wishes her free has to trade places with her."
"Great, and I thought she was just an innocent." Phoebe said with her hands rested on her hips.
"How come your empathy power didn't give her away?" Piper asked curiously.
Phoebe shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. She was obviously able to trick me somehow and even the book." She explained. Jinny had been all over the book of shadows, pointing out different demons that were once her master, and it hadn't detected at all that she was evil.
"Well, we need to figure out how to fix this." Chris said.
"I think the only way to do that is to get Jinny to reverse the magic." Leo suggested.
"And how are we supposed to do that?" Piper asked. "I doubt she is willingly going to wish Phoebe free or whatever it is she has to do."
"I think we're gonna need Paige's help with all of this." Phoebe said.
"Good idea, I'll go call her." Piper replied. She turned and started walking out of the attic.
Leo pulled Chris aside as Phoebe worked on another vanquishing potion in case they ran into more demons like the ones her and Chris had seen earlier.
"I think we need to talk about you and Wyatt." Leo said.
Chris looked at Leo with worry, wondering if he knew the truth. "What about me and Wyatt?" He asked. "There's nothing to talk about."
As Phoebe worked on her potion she eavesdropped on Chris and Leo's conversation. She had wondered the same thing. Maybe Leo was on to Chris' true identity.
"It's obvious that you and Wyatt know each other in the future." Leo said. "Were you friends at one point?"
Chris turned away from Leo. He wanted to tell him the truth so badly, yet deep down he knew that would go against his better judgment. "I can't answer that." He replied. The less Leo knew, the better it was for everyone.
"You guys were arguing like brothers." Leo pointed out. "Your name, Christopher Perry, that was my father's name."
Phoebe froze with fear, realizing that Leo was in fact on to Chris' true identity.
"I can't tell you what you want to know, Leo." Chris replied. "It could change the future in unforeseen ways."
Leo locked eyes with Chris, trying to see into his soul. "If you don't start telling me the truth right now, than I don't want you near my family anymore." He said sternly, not really sure he actually meant what he said.
Phoebe looked over at the two of them. Chris' face seemed to go pale as his eyes were locked with Leo's. She could tell his comment had somewhat hurt Chris. "You don't know what your saying Leo." She said. His gaze met hers. "He's a part of us now and you can't just push him away."
"I can and I will if I don't get some answers." Leo snapped at her. He looked back at Chris. "Tell me the truth. You're Wyatt's brother aren't you?"
Chris was too shocked to answer. He didn't know what to say. Phoebe had already figured out his secret and he could deal with her knowing. He couldn't deal with the pressure that his parents would be under if they knew the truth.
Leo looked back at Phoebe. "You know don't you?" He asked her. "He told you didn't he?"
Phoebe only nodded, knowing that it wasn't her place to tell Leo Chris' secret.
Chris opened his mouth to speak, yet no words were spoken. His father knew the truth and he assumed that soon, his mother would know as well. Leo wouldn't be able to keep that kind of secret from her. Words finally came to him. "You want the truth?" He asked. Leo eyes met his once more, but he didn't speak or answer. "Yeah, I'm Wyatt's brother." Something inside Chris seemed to snap. "He grows up to become a monster who terrorizes the city and even his own family. I came back here to save him and our family, to save the future of this city. Sometimes I wish he didn't have powers because than I wouldn't be here having to save everyone I love, but..." He was cut off.
Phoebe put her hands together and bowed. "You're wish is my command." She said.
Leo and Chris both looked at her confused. "What did you just do?" Chris asked her. "That wasn't a wish."
A group of demonic bounty hunters stood in a corner of the underworld. A big pit of fire lite the area as they each stood around it. Wyatt stood behind some rocks watching and listening in as they talked. When he had first arrived, he had thought he saw someone orbing. Maybe his brother had been snooping around in the underworld.
"It looks like our plans have changed." One of the bounty hunters said.
"I still don't understand why we are doing this." Another replied. "Why can't he just kill the boy himself?"
"He offered us a lot of powers in exchange for this bounty." The first one said. "Wyatt Halliwell will die and if need be, his family will die too."
"I thought he didn't want us to harm the Charmed Ones?" A third one chimed in.
"He didn't." The first one replied. "But we're demons and the Charmed Ones have stood in our way for years. I don't think he will care if they are dead so long as the boy is dead too."
Wyatt had heard enough. He stood, revealing himself to the demons. Before they could react, He put out his arms and they all froze in place. He waved one hand out, unfreezing the head of one of the bounty hunters, and walked towards him.
The bounty hunters head swayed back and fourth in confusion, not sure of what had happened. He couldn't move the rest of his body. "What did you do to me?" He demanded to know. He glanced at the others who were all frozen and finally realized what had happened. "Who are you and why are you here?"
"I don't have to answer your questions." Wyatt replied. "You might want to answer mine though."
"And why is that?" The bounty hunter inquired.
Wyatt put out one of his hands and the bounty hunter's hand exploded into pieces. He screamed loudly in pain and tried to wriggle himself free. It was no use though. "Answer my questions and you get to keep the rest of your body parts." Wyatt answered. "Who's paying you to kill Wyatt Halliwell and why?"
"No, I've been sworn to secrecy." He replied, only adding to Wyatt's anger. "You won't get any answers out of..."
Wyatt cut him off by putting his hand out once more. This time, the rest of the bounty hunter's arm exploded, causing him further pain. He screamed out again, but still did not seem eager to answer the question. "Am I going to have to kill each and every one of you before I get an answer?" He demanded to know. For some reason, he was really enjoying the torture he was inflicting.
"Why do you care so much about the Charmed offspring?" The bounty hunter wanted to know. He assumed that Wyatt was a demon and had no idea that he was the future version of the boy he was supposed to kill. "He poses a threat to all of us."
"Not to me." Wyatt snapped back. "Now answer my questions." He waved his hand out, blowing off the bounty hunter's other hand. He screamed in pain once more, but still refused to answer Wyatt's question.
Wyatt was starting to get frustrated. Clearly, that particular bounty hunter was of no use to him. He put his hand out and watched as the demon turned into flames and slowly became a pile of ash on the ground. He turned to focus on one of the other bounty hunter's, just as an energy ball came whizzing past his head. Somehow, they had all become unfrozen. In a panic, Wyatt tried to freeze them again. They didn't freeze.
Wyatt moved back behind the rock, using it as a shield. Five demonic bounty hunters all aimed energy balls and released them, aiming for the rock. Tiny pieces of rock blasted off, falling in Wyatt's hair. He jumped out from behind the rock and put his arms out, trying to turn the demons into flames. Nothing happened though. He jumped out of the way as another round of energy balls came in his direction. He put his hand out, trying to use his own energy balls, yet nothing formed in it. "Where the hell are my powers?" He thought to himself in a panic.
"Not so powerful now, are you?" One of the bounty hunters sneered. This bounty hunter had a different power than the others though. He could shoot out bolts of electricity, which was one of the powers the Elders also wielded. Not too many demons had that power and the bounty hunter was quick to use it on Wyatt.
The blueish bolts surged toward Wyatt, flowing through his body. The agonizing pain brought him to his knees. He tried to fight it, hoping his strength didn't just come from his powers, but from deep with in him. He made his way back to his feet, unsure of how he was going to defend himself. The pain tried to overtake him again, but he refused to let it.
"Oh no." Phoebe said, as she stood before Chris and Leo in the attic. She knew Chris had not meant his words to be a wish, but she couldn't stop herself from granting it.
"That's all you have to say?" Chris asked angrily. "I wasn't wishing, I was just..."
"I didn't want to." Phoebe replied. "I had no choice, it just happened."
"So does that mean Wyatt is without his powers right now?" He demanded to know.
Phoebe shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, but that is what you wished for." She said innocently.
"No, that wasn't a wish." Chris stammered. He looked back at Leo, trying to calm himself. "I didn't mean for you to hear things like that. I mean, about Wyatt. I'm sorry."
"I can't believe I have another son." Leo replied. What Chris had said did stun him a bit, but for the most part, he was just glad to finally know the truth. He was looking at Chris in a whole new light now. He wondered why he hadn't noticed his resemblance to Piper before, as it was now becoming clear. "Wait, but Piper's not...I mean, she isn't..."
"You don't need to worry about that right now, Leo." Phoebe said, knowing that he was referring to Piper being pregnant or not being pregnant anyways.
Chris wanted to say something, but feared his father was now under a lot of pressure, especially since Piper wasn't pregnant. He didn't want his father to feel like he had to get her pregnant. He looked at Phoebe and then at his father. His vision started to go a little hazy. His face contorted a little as his eyes tried to focus. "Chris." Leo said with concern. Pain, agony, fear, all surging through his body at the same time. He almost collapsed. Leo and Phoebe broke his fall and lead him over to the couch, as he gasped in the agony that fell upon him.
"What's wrong?" Phoebe asked.
"Something's wrong with Wyatt." Chris barely managed to say. "Pain, he's in pain."
Phoebe wondered how Chris knew that something was wrong with Wyatt. Did they share some sort of bond? She wasn't aware that they actually did share a bond, a very strong one too. "Well, we have to find him." She said.
"He's in the underworld." Chris replied as he tried to gain control of the pain. He orbed out, hoping to get to his brother in time. Leo wasn't about to let him go alone though and he orbed after him.
As Chris formed in the underworld the surging pain left his body. He was left with no feeling inside of him what so ever. There was a pit of nothingness, emptiness. He couldn't feel Wyatt at all. His eyes scanned the area of the underworld that he was in, noticing a circle of demons as they surrounded something, someone.
Leo appeared next to him and saw the sight before them. He couldn't tell who was in the circle of demons, but he assumed it was Wyatt.
Chris shot a quick glance at Leo and then back to the circle of demons. He waved an arm out, sending one of the demons away from the circle with his telekinesis. He waved his other arm, sending another demon away from the circle as well. Leo let his hand out, using one of his elder powers on the demons. A surge of electricity struck a demon, bringing it to it's knees. With a few demons out of the way, Leo and Chris were both finally able to see Wyatt hunched over on the ground.
Chris' first instinct was to rush over to his brother, but before he could get to him, Wyatt disappeared in a swirl of purple orbs. He hadn't known anyone to use purple orbs and from the way his brother had been laying there so lifeless, he doubted Wyatt had orbed himself. Plus, if his wish had come true, Wyatt wouldn't have been able to orb anyways. "No." He screamed. It seemed to echo through that small part of the underworld. As he did so, each of the demons flew in different directions. His anger had gotten the better of him and it seemed to amplify his telekinesis. His eyes grew wide as he glanced around at each of the demons scattered about. He had never done that before.
"What just happened?" Leo asked, wondering how the demons were thrown back like they were.
"I don't know." Chris replied.
"And where the hell did Wyatt go?" He also asked.
Chris' face filled with worry. "I don't know. I can't sense him." He said, turning away from Leo. Leo could sense the fear in Chris' voice.
"We should get back to the manor before these demons get back to their feet." Leo suggested. "The sister's should be able to help us find Wyatt."
They both orbed back to the manor, where Phoebe, Piper, and Paige were all waiting for them, waiting for an explanation. Before Chris decided to explain anything, he turned to Phoebe. "I wish Wyatt had his powers." He said, hoping that where ever his brother was, they might be of some use to him.
"Wait, but..." She started. Her hand went together and she bowed her head. "Your wish is my command."
"What's going on?" Piper demanded to know. Phoebe had already explained to them how Chris had accidentally wished that Wyatt didn't have any powers. She also informed them that Chris and Leo had gone to help Wyatt. What she didn't understand was why Leo and Chris were back without Wyatt. "Where's Wyatt?"
"I don't know." Chris admitted.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Paige asked.
"Something or someone took him." Leo replied, feeling as if Paige and Piper were attacking Chris.
So, one big change is that Leo has learned about Chris much earlier than the real season 6. If Chris was supposedly named after Leo's father, I never understood why Leo never questioned his name "Chris Perry" and thus put together some kind of assumption. Also, I loved how Chris accidentally wished for something in the real season and included it here, just changed the wish around. In my next update you will learn what happened to Wyatt. Let me know what you think...
