13. Wanting Utopia?

UP THERE

After Leo had made sure his decision and told his family he orbed a few days later to his colleagues to tell them this. Coming here made him quite nervous, because this was huge. After all an Elder the man had been for just more than a year, but his family, Piper and his sons, was the most important thing to him. So he called out, "Odin, I've come to talk you all. I made a decision!"

"What about?", Odin asked suspiciously. "We still don't know about Gideon's fate."

Leo was about to respond when suddenly an Elder from the Tribunal appeared. He turned to Leo, "Your decision is wise and needed, but with time you've become a mortal."

The father of two boys looked confused. "What does that mean?" A look at Odin told him he was as confused as he.

The Tribunal's Elder continued, "Your sons still need you. The Avatars are after Chris and a big evil is again after Wyatt. You'll become a whitelighter again till the boys are safe."

"What's with Gideon?" Odin asked.

"We took care of him. He was a threat to Leo's sons. He wanted to kill them, but they are our future. You all know that!"

"When will I become a mortal?" Leo questioned.

"As I said before, Leo, when the boys are finally safe. I must go now." The Tribunal's Elder began orbing out. "Oh, before I forget. Phoebe's got her premonition power back." With that he was gone.

"You heard him. You are a whitelighter again, Leo." Odin took his Elder's powers away. "Save your boys. We'll stay with you all the time. Promise!" The former colleague laid a hand on Leo's shoulder. "And Phoebe's got one of her powers back."

Gratefully Leo smiled a bit and orbed home to his family.


A DARK PLACE

Gamma and Beta watched nervously as Alpha paced through their current place. They knew he wanted Utopia as soon as possible, but without the child's powers was it useless.

All at once the leading Avatar stopped. "If we could get the Charmed Ones to cooperate with us. I'm sure they already know we're after the younger boy."

"What's your plan now, Alpha?" Gamma questioned. Beta nodded in agreement.

Alpha looked up. "I don't think the family would let the boys are out of their sight. We'll go directly to the Halliwell Manor and we'll place them an order they can't resist."

The other Avatars nodded their heads in agreements and followed their leader to the Halliwell's.


MANOR

Piper fed her kids while her younger sisters ate her homemade breakfast. As a clouding orb came the youngest boy orbed over to his daddy. The others smiled even Leo still hadn't reformed.

Leo reformed and was surprised as little Chris orbed right into his arms. He kissed his little son on his forehead while the blond man looked into the smiling faces of his family.

"So what did they say?" Phoebe asked curiously.

"C'mon, let us not wait so long!" Paige added.

Leo gazed at his wife, Wyatt and Chris. "I'm a whitelighter again till the boys are safe. Then I can become a mortal." He stopped a sec and looked directly at Phoebe. "You've got your premonition power back, Phoebe."

Phoebe was baffled. "You're serious?" Her brother-in-law nodded. "Why?"

"Well, they seem to think you'll need them soon." Phoebe agreed.

Piper and Paige exchanged a happy, yet worried look. The two of them got a feeling that something big would happen – in the near future. Out of nowhere the elder boy turned around to look for something what was not there.

"What's the matter, honey?" Piper asked her son softly. "Noone's here."

"But will be," he whispered.

"Who?" Paige continued questioning her eldest nephew.

"We!" a voice said coming from the conservatory. The family ran to their new arrival while Wyatt took his little brother from his father to protect him. The blond boy raised his forcefield.

"Wyatt, so nice to see you again." The leading Avatar greeted him kneeling down on his level. "We don't want your brother now. Our plan's changed."

"What do you want?" Leo demanded. The sisters stood protectively before the boys and beside Leo.

"We want to create Utopia. A place beyond good and evil." The leading man said. "But I'm rude. My name's Alpha. And these are Beta and Gamma." The other two greeted.

The whole family was confused and pleaded for a time-out for discussion. The Avatars did the same.


CONSERVATORY

"What's with our deal with Zankou?" Gamma questioned. He looked to his female colleague. She agreed.

"He'll follow his own plans now. That was just a distraction for the good powers." Alpha replied. "This is our only chance to convince the Halliwell's, but to kidnap Chris our second one if this one fails."

The others agreed. After all he was their leader.


MEANWHILE IN THE KITCHEN

The discussion among the members was violent. Piper, the one who wanted always a normal life, was suspicious. The way Wyatt held Chris made her afraid and as she looked closer at her son he had the same look like she.

Leo also stared at Wyatt and his way protecting his little brother. Something had happened during Chris' wiccaning and Wyatt was the main witness. Somehow he doubted the Avatars and their plan for a peaceful world. There was always a price for it.

Phoebe and Paige thought about it. All sisters had learned a long time ago that something like that had a price. They didn't know what but it was not good.

"Your power, Phoebe," Leo said suddenly. His wife held her sons tightly while Paige agreed with her brother-in-law.

"What shall I do?" Phoebe asked.

"Touch one of them and tell us what you saw." Leo replied. It was more than an assuring statement.

The middle sister nodded. Her older and younger sister took her in their normal embrace. Her brother-in-law knelt beside his boys kissing both of them.

The four adults walked back to the conservatory where the Avatars waited for them and their decision.


CONSERVATORY

The Avatars looked at the Halliwell's with an apprehensive gaze. How did they decide?, were their thoughts. Now was the only time to create Utopia – with the help from the Charmed Ones. At first they wanted the youngest member, because of his powers, but the Power of Three was an adequate substitute. The smiles they wore were a bit forced but hopeful.

The sisters and Leo looked at each other with hopeful yet fearful eyes. Phoebe hesitantly took a step forward to get her premonition but she felt the warmth of her family.

"Do you mind if I touch one of you?" the middle sister asked.

The men in black gazed briefly at each other but agreed. The woman Beta stepped to Phoebe and both came in contact. The former youngest sister tensed up, let herself become a part of her vision.

PHOEBE'S VISION

The brunette woman looked around in a seeming peaceful San Francisco. The people were helpful and really kind to each other. Too kind from Phoebe's POV. Somehow they didn't feel right anymore.

Piper's children had grown and she herself could see her own daughter. The three of them came running out of school and towards her. The boys and the girl were so happy that she couldn't help but smile.

"Auntie Phoebe," asked Chris suddenly. "Do we have to be afraid of any demons?"

Phoebe knelt down to their level. "No, my boy. The Avatars and we vanquished them when you were an infant. Let's enjoy this peaceful world." Chris and her own daughter nodded while Wyatt seemed to be apprehensive. "Wyatt, what's wrong?"

His blue eyes bore into her brown ones. "You always taught us there's a price for everything. Look around. You'll see!"

Slowly the kids vanished while the middle sister followed her eldest nephew's advice. Phoebe wandered around and heard suddenly two men arguing. There was a crowd, but nobody stopped them. Then without warning the two men disappeared. Phoebe waited for any reaction, but found none. The crowd whispered a bit and went their own way after the incident.

The witch gasped. Instantly she knew it was the work of the Avatars. They couldn't tolerate any conflicts. So that was the price for this peaceful world.

END OF VISION

As soon as the middle sister was out she broke the contact with the Avatar woman. She felt their intense gazes on her and that made her nervous.

"OK, guys, I need to talk with you – now!" Phoebe requested from her family. Leo, Piper and Paige looked at her strangely but obeyed. The kids slowly went after them as well.

The Avatars had the same reaction. Alpha, Beta and Gamma gave them the needed time for discussion again. Although the woman didn't know what Phoebe had seen, but she and her colleagues need the Power of Three to create Utopia.

"What do we do if they disagree?" Gamma questioned the leader.

"Well, we could use the boy as a hostage, but that's only Plan B. Even it is low for our standards. The time will come for this. A new threat is already waiting for them!" Alpha answered truthfully.


KITCHEN

Phoebe told her sisters and brother-in-law what she had seen in her vision. "I saw my nephews and my daughter ...," she smiled and found similar gazes in the faces of her family. "Anyway, they told me we taught them that there's a price for everything."

"And what is it?" Paige asked impatiently.

"The Avatars don't like conflicts. They'll kill everyone who started one."

"You saw it, didn't you?" Piper stated and took Leo's hand in hers. The boys stood close by. The parents kissed them on their heads and they giggled happily.

The middle sister nodded. She continued, "We all have good and evil in us what is part of the human being. That's not able to cut off." Piper, Paige and Leo didn't contradict. They all knew it was true.

"So," Leo summed up, "we don't want Utopia!"

The others looked at him agreeing with him. The kids looked up and laughed a bit to cheer up the family what worked immediately.

"You boys are the most important thing in our world." Leo stated and took them in his arms. The sisters kissed them and slowly all went back to the Avatars to tell them their decision.


CONSERVATORY

Once again the three people waited for the family. In their faces they could already see the fear of the unknown.

"You made a decision?" Alpha commanded. The other two looked at them with questioning looks.

"Yes." Leo responded. He acted as the speaker of the family. All gave him reassuring looks. "We don't want it. The price is too high for us."

"I see," Alpha said trying to stay calm. "Can I ask why exactly?"

The Halliwell's gazed at each other. What should they say now?, were their thoughts. Leo again voiced their arguments. "We've been told you don't like conflicts. But both good and evil are parts of the human being. We learned that since forever. Please leave us. Your world has nothing to do with ours."

The Avatars accepted the explanation with reluctance. "We see you're not ready for Utopia. But be aware we'll return when young Christopher has reached an useful age." With that they disappeared.

All breathed relieved. That danger for Chris they could head off, but all knew the next threat was soon coming. This time for Wyatt and after they would have solved this Leo could become a mortal – forever. As he said before working in Magic School and helping Paige. Or he could lead the school the boys would be happy. With that the father would always have time for the boys, especially Chris. And Wyatt, too. The two little boys winked, laughed and waved their little hands.

TBC ...
