DarkPriestess66: Spin City
Alexis, Paige, Hermione, and Piper just got back from Doctor Surgery's office. In the hallway, the four witch are standing by the elevator doors with about five people frozen behind them.
"Are you hormonal or just plain crazy?" Alexis asks
"One woman can only take so much." Piper replies
"Okay, if these people walk out of their offices, what do you think they're gonna see?" Paige asks
"Well, I think they won't be touching my stomach anymore, that's what I think." Piper replies,
"Piper, that is not a good enough reason to freeze people." Paige replies,
"I think it is." Piper disagrees
The elevator doors open. Piper unfreezes the people and walks in it. A lady that was standing behind Piper stumbles forward.
Alexis catches her. "It's okay, it's okay, we all just get a little vertigo sometimes." Alexis gets in the elevator with Piper, Hermione, and Paige. "No wonder Chris grows up to be such a neurotic little freak." The elevator doors close. "So you excited?"
"About what?" Piper asks
"About what the doctor said. That it's gonna be a healthy baby." Paige answers
"Well, I know he's healthy. I've seen him twenty-two and walking around." Piper replies,
"Well, you never know, something could happen." Hermione states,
"Oh, don't be such a worry wart. Now you're starting to sound like..." Alexis states, when she is cut off by Chris orbing in.
"Hey." Chris greets
"Chris." Alexis finishes,
"Okay, if this is about demons, I don't wanna hear it, 'cause I am on my lunch break." Paige states
"No, no, no, I just wanted to know how it went with the doctor." Chris replies
"Well, you'll be happy to know that you're a boy." Piper replies, she holds up an ultrasound picture
"That's not what I meant." Chris states
Hermione, Paige, and Alexis look at the picture in Piper's hands,
"I don't see it." Paige teases,
"Me neither," Alexis agrees, with a smirk on her face.
"Oh, see, it's this little thing right here." Piper replies, pointing at the spot of the picture,
"Whoa!" Chris exclaims as he snatches the picture off her. "Excuse me. Do you mind?"
The elevator doors open to the parking lot and Piper, Paige, Hermione, Alexis, and Chris walkout.
"Why are you so edgy, anyway? Relax." Piper asks
"Well, it's not me in there I was thinking about, it's you. I'm just making sure you're okay." Chris replies
"See, that's where I'd ask for money to go to the movies." Alexis teases, while Paige nods in agreement
"Very funny. Actually, in the future, you're the one I go to for money." Chris states, "Paige too,"
"Ooh, why, am I rich?" Paige asks
Alexis rolls her eyes, "Well I know for one, that US currency doesn't work in the Wizarding World, so I can see why he would come to me for money,"
"I can't tell you that." Chris answers, "And Alexis is right about that one,"
"What about me? I'm your mother. Why didn't you come to me for money?" Piper asks
"Because I don't want to bother you, you'll have too much to deal with." Chris answers lying.
"What about your dad?" Paige questions
"Uh, Leo's not much of a factor." Chris replies,
"What does that mean?" Paige asks
"I'd rather not talk about it." Chris answers
"Future consequences?" Piper asks
"More like future issues." Chris replies
Hermione looks over at Alexis, who barely shakes her head. She didn't know what it was about. But she knew someone who did.
"Ooh, father-son problems." Paige states
"I have an idea, let's change the subject." Chris suggests
"To what?" Paige asks, a woman drops in front of them from the roof and Chris pulls Piper out of the way. Alexis grabs Hermione and pulls her out of the way, the woman scratches Chris's neck. "Extinguisher!" The fire extinguisher flies towards the woman and she jumps over it. Piper tries to blow her up but she turns into a spider and runs away. Chris helps Piper up. "You guys okay?"
Chris touches his neck. "I don't know. Am I?" They look at three scratches on his neck. "Am I?"
"I don't know." Piper answers placing her hands on her stomach,
They gone back to the manor, and they were in the Conservatory. Piper, Paige, Hermione, Lynx, and Chris are there. Piper is dabbing Chris's wound with a cloth. Paige is looking through the Book of Shadows. Alexis, Hermione, and Lynx were helping with the Book.
"So I'm okay, right? I mean, mini me in there?" Chris asks
"Well, if he wasn't, I think you'd be the first to know. Now, sit still." Piper answers
"Well, then why were you so worried back there?" Chris asks
"I wasn't worried. Alright, I was a little worried about the force field." Piper answers
"What force field?" Chris asks
"The one she had when she was pregnant with Wyatt." Paige replies,
"Wait, you had a force field with Wyatt but not with me?" Chris asks
"Well, I didn't have one, he had one. It was all his doing." Piper answers
"From the womb? He had powers from the womb? That's unbelievable! It's not like I don't have an inferiority complex with him already. Thank you." Chris states in shock
Lynx giggles "Now you know how I feel, beloved cousin of mine,"
"Nymphadora," Alexis warns, "Behave."
Piper looks at Paige "Did you find that demon yet?"
"Yes, actually, I did. It's the Spider Demon. An evil creature that emerges from its hidden lair every hundred years, to capture and feed off the most powerful and magical demon it can detect. In this case that would be you." Paige answers
"And me. Sorta." Chris adds
"You must be so proud." Alexis states
"It's kinda creepy how she knew to lay a trap for you. Obviously she didn't count on us being there." Paige states
"Well, at least there's a vanquishing potion here. Okay, what do you say we make this eight-legged freak wish it'd never been hatched?" Piper asks
"Whoa, hold it. You are not going anywhere, mum, this is way too risky." Chris states
"He's actually right. Without the Wyatt force field thing." Paige agrees
"Okay, do you have to keep rubbing that in?" Chris asks
"Aren't there any therapists in the future?" Paige asks
"Nope," Lynx replies,
"We need Phoebe." Chris states
"No, I don't want to interrupt her date with Mark." Piper disagrees
"I thought she was dating Jason?" Alexis asks
"He didn't take it to well with us being witches, he broke up with her," Paige replies,"Actually, it's Mike this week."
"No, it's Mitch. But who cares, we need her." Chris states
"Ever since she had that vision thing in magic school, you know, the one about a demon-free life, and her being with child, she's kind of been on that whole future thing." Alexis states
"And she wishes to accomplish that by speed dating?" Piper asks
"I don't know." Alexis replies
"So does that book say anything about that spider being poisonous?" Chris asks "Gentle, please."
"Oh, quit your complaining, I'm almost done. Paige, could you call the club for me and tell them I'm gonna be a little bit late?" Piper asks
"No, I thought we already discussed this. You're not going anywhere without a force field." Chris states
"Why? Because it's so much safer here?" Piper asks, "I have to go to work, I booked a band tonight."
"Let Paige or Alexis cover for you." Chris suggests,
"No, I can't, I have to go back to my temp job. I'm already late." Paige replies
"Blow it off. This is more important." Chris states
"My temp jobs are important. It's how people who need help find me." Paige explains
"I'll do it, yesh." Alexis snaps, Piper gave her a look that said plainly as words did, she didn't think Alexis was up to being a part owner of P3, but Alexis gave the look right back.
"Okay, I get that, I do, but right now your sister needs your help, okay?" Chris asks
"Why don't we just call Leo?" Alexis questions
"No, no." Chris answers
"Why not? He can help us. Besides, Piper's in danger, which means the baby's in danger, which means you are in danger." Paige states
"Because we don't need him." Chris replies
"Yeah, he's right, I don't want to open up that can of worms." Piper agrees
"He doesn't even know you're pregnant." Paige states
"This is my point exactly." Piper replies
"Look, I'm not suggesting some sort of reunion..." Paige states
"He has been gone for six months. If he's not there for us in the future, why is he there for us now?" Chris asks
Piper sits down on the chair.
Alexis gets up and goes over to her pregnant sister "Hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I just need to sit down for a minute." Piper answers,
"Okay, well, I'll go deal with the club, you work on the vanquishing potion and call Phoebe and I when it's done."Alexis states, in a Piper like tone which surprised her sisters, nephew, and best friend. "Let's go Mione," she and Hermione leaves.
"I'll clean up." Chris states, he closes the first aid kit and his hand sticks to the box.
Lynx gasps as she saw that. "I'm going to go help with that vanquishing potion,"
At P3, Hermione and Alexis was sitting at the bar, Alexis was going over paperwork for the bar. With Jeremy working in the background.
"So is this your first time helping with the club?" Hermione asks
"No, I tend to come here during the day and help Jeremy stocking and getting ready for the evening, and I'm allowed in the club at night since it's sixteen to get in and twenty one to drink," Alexis answers, her cell phone rings, and she answers, "Hello?"
"You didn't show up today." Cedric replies, "I thought we had a date,"
"Hi, yeah, I meant to call, I really did, I just got a little hung up at, um, at work." Alexis explains,
"What do you mean you were at work?" Cedric asks, "You don't even have a job,"
"I mean I'm helping with the club," Alexis states,
A very tall Irish man walks up to Alexis and Hermione.
"Excuse me, Miss Halliwell? I hate to bother you, love, but..." he states with an Irish accent
"Nows not a good time, okay?" Alexisreplies,"No, I didn't mean you, Ced."
"Huh, you're telling me. I'm supposed to be a leprechaun." the leprechaun states
"Okay, pal, the bar's not open yet. Why don't you try down the street." Alexis snaps
Hermione stared at the man who said he was a leprechaun,
"You don't understand. The wicked witch of the enchanted forest put a dastardly curse on me. I know you helped Shamus." Leprechaun replies,
"Um, let me call you back." Alexis states as she recognized the name, she hangs up. "You knew Shamus?"
"He was me brother. Of course, all leprechauns are, but the point is we were close." the leprechaunanswers
"Give me a second." Alexisstates, she turns to Jeremy. "Uh, Jeremy, could you check on the beer in the back?"
"No worries." Jeremy answers, he goes into the back.
"Okay, uh, how did you find me?" Alexis asks
"I didn't for sure. I was told to find you at your boyfriend's house but you don't seem to be there anymore." Leprechaun replies
"Tell me about it." Alexis agrees, she felt sad that she had to keep putting off dates with Cedric, but she was glad he understood that she had duties to the magical world on this side of the world.
"And I didn't want to bother you at home." the leprechaun states
"Thank you, I appreciate that. Okay, what did this wicked witch do to you?" Paige asks
"Uh, isn't it obvious? She made me tall!" the leprechaunanswers
"Oh, that's the problem." Alexis states
"Oh, it's just not who I am, love. Am more importantly, it's taken away my power to dole out luck too. Is there anyway you can turn me back? Please." the leprechaun asks
"Okay, uh, I'm sure I can improvise something. Alexis answers, "You who found me in this bar, turn back to who you really are."
The leprechaun shrinks to his original size. He chuckles. "Oh, god bless you, Alexis. The name is Riley and I am forever in your debt."
"Great, you're welcome, but if you don't mind, you probably should get out of here." Alexisreplies,
"Not before I leave you with a token of my appreciation." Riley states, he hands her his shillelagh. "I hope you get that wicked witch."
"I'll try." Alexis replies
Riley whizzes off. Jeremy walks back into the room.
"Okay, everything is all set for the band," Alexis states, "I should be getting home,"
"Sure, Alexis." Jeremy replies,
Hermione and Alexis walk out of the room, and Alexis takes Hermione's hand and they flame to the manor.
~~~at the manor~~~
Lynx watched Chris for signs of something else going wrong. Phoebe walks in from the kitchen.
"Okay, let's do this. I have a future to get back to." Phoebe states
"Who doesn't. You blessed this?" Chris asks
"Yes, I blessed it, I sang to it. What's the matter with you?" Phoebe replies,Chris sits on the stairs. Piper comes down the stairs. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I think I'm just coming down with something." Chris answers
"What do you mean? From the attack?" Piper asks
"Now who's the worry wart. Look, we still need Alexis to bless this. Did you call her?" Chris asks
"Yeah, she's on her way. She was helping me out at the club." Piper replies
"Who's watching Wyatt?" Phoebe asks
"Uh, Sheila. He should be safe there until after this is over." Piper replies
A spider crawls in from an open window.
"Okay, well, we gotta get a move on here. Because I need to find my husband, like, yesterday. Seriously. What? I did the math. It's gonna take me like a year to fall in love, and there's the whole engagement and the wedding, and then the year of wedded bliss." Phoebe explains,Chris notices the spider. "And then I have to wait a year to find out if I really want to have his kid, you know, and the pregnancy's, like, nine months. Well, ten months, they just tell you it's nine months. So clearly, let's move on here. I'm sorry, what's so funny?"
"This whole family needs a shrink." Piper replies,
Alexis flames in holding the shillelagh.
"Hey. Where'd you get that?" Phoebe asks, "And where's Hermione?"
"Don't ask." Alexis replies, "And I stopped long enough at Cedric's to drop her off, I didn't want her to get hurt with everything going on here."
"You need to bless this vanquishing potion." Chris states
"Wow. Hello to you too." Alexis replies
"Hey, the book says for all four of you to bless it. Phoebe will help you. Piper, can I talk to you, please?" Chris asks
"Piper? What happened to mum?" Piper asks
"How exactly do I bless this thing?" Alexis asks
"With your blood. Come on." Phoebe replies, she, Alexis, and Paige walk in the dining room. "This'll just hurt a little."
Alexis makes a face.
In the conservatory. Piper and Chris walk in.
"What is it? What's the matter? Chris, your eyes are dilated." Piper asks
"Are they?" Chris asks
The spider turns into the spider demon. Web flies out of her hands and wraps Piper up in it. She gets stuck to the wall covered from head to toe in a spider web cocoon. Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige walk in.
"Okay, we got it. She didn't even..." Phoebe states, she sees the spider demon. "Faint."
Alexis throws a potion towards the spider demon but Chris catches it.
"What are you doing?" Paige asks
Chris knocks Paige and Alexis to the floor and then attacks Phoebe. Phoebe fights back and he drops the potion. The potion rolls over to Paige. Phoebe kicks Chris in the head and knocks him to the floor. Paige throws the potion at the spider demon, missing. She turns back into a spider and crawls away.
"Get it! Get it!" Phoebe exclaims, the spider crawls out the window. "Piper."
They turn around and see Piper wrapped in a cocoon against the wall.
"Oh, no." Paige gasps, she walks up to Piper and touches her. The web zaps her and Paige is knocked backwards. "Well, there's a force field that works."
Phoebe and Alexis walks in.)
"Alright, we locked Chris in the basement. What are you doing on the floor?" Phoebe asks, she helps her up.
"Well, not having a lot of luck, that's why I'm on the floor. I've tried orbs, knives, spells. Nada." Paige replies
"God, I hope Piper's okay in there." Phoebe states, she went to touch the cocoon
"Don't." Paige warns
"So do you think we should ask Chris for help?" Phoebe asks
"Yeah, let's get the mutant who put her in there in the first place to help." Paige answers
"Missy, that is our nephew, he needs help too." Phoebe states
"Okay, fine. How should we help? Uh, how about Leo?" Paige asks
"Are you kidding? Piper will kill us." Phoebe replies
"Well, she can kill us after she's saved." Lynx states as she came down the stairs, "I doubt that a demon Chris would be very willing to save me from being killed by Wyatt"
"Lynx, Piper doesn't want Leo to know that Chris is his son, okay? So I don't think I can keep that secret." Alexis replies
"Try. Leo!" Paige replies
Leo orbs in wearing a white robe with golden trim
"Alexis, Lynx,Phoebe, Paige, how are you?" Leo asks
"Not so good, we have a problem." Phoebe replies
"Perhaps we should meditate." Leo suggests
"No, I don't want to meditate. Piper, right there." Paige replies
Leo turns around and sees Piper wrapped up in the spider web. "Ah, the Spider Demon. She cocoons her victims before feeding on them."
"Great, well, can you get her out of there?" Paige asks
"Uh, well, the only way to get her out of there is to vanquish the Spider Demon. But it's okay, the cocoon is meant for preservation, so she's safe for now." Leo replies
"Good, that means Chris is too." Alexis sighed.
"Chris? He's in there too?" Leo asks
"No, he's not in there, Leo, he's in the basement." Paige answers
"Yeah, he was acting a little crazy so Alexis and I locked him in the basement." Phoebe explains
"Yeah, after the Spider Demon infected him, he got a little crazy, went after..." Paige explains
"I'll talk to him." Leo interrupts, he heads for the basement.
"Ay, be careful. Good thinking." Paige replies
"I'm telling you, he has a right to know." Alexis states
"No, he doesn't." Paige replies
"Five, four, three, two, one." Lynx counts backwards, then the sound of the basement door closing causes Alexis, Paige, and Phoebe to run in.
"What happened?" Paige asks
"He attacked me." Leo answers
"I tried to warn you." Paige replies, in an I-told-you-so manner
"He's got issues." Phoebe explains
"Issues?" Leo repeats
"Yeah, from being infected." Paige answers
"No, I think his issues precede that, don't you, Paige?" Phoebe asks
"Something you're not telling me?" Leo asks
"Actually..." Alexis replies,
"No." Paige interrupts
Alexis turns to glare at Paige "Look, he's gonna find out sooner or later and I'm gonna bust."
"Find out what?" Leo asks
"If he's gonna help us, we're gonna have to tell him." Alexis states
"It's Piper's business." Paige replies
"Tell me what?" Leo asks
Alexis tries to hold it in but can't."Chris is your son. Don't we all feel better? I know I feel so much better."
Leo sits down, speechless. "How..."
"Uh, spirit realm, six months ago, you and Piper... Leo, she's pregnant." Phoebe replies
"Why didn't she tell me?" Leo asks
"Well, honestly, I think she knows how hard it was for you to leave one son behind. She didn't want to make it any harder." Phoebe answers
Alexis' phone rings. "Great. Excuse me." she leaves the room.
"Why is he so mad at me?" Leo asks
"I don't know, sweetie. He's real tight lipped about the future. It's a lot for you, huh? Well, uh, you gotta try to pull it together because we need you. Your family needs you." Phoebe answers
"Right. You're right." Leo agrees
"That's the spirit." Phoebe states
"Well, uh, if I remember correctly, the Spider Demon's last victim was a wizard. So maybe I should go to magic school and see if there's something there that I can use to scry for him." Leo explains
"Okay, and what about Chris?" Phoebeasks
"Check the Book of Shadows, I think there's an antidote." Leo answers
"Okay. Welcome home." Phoebe replies
Leo orbs out. Alexis walks in.
"Hey, will you and Paige watch Piper? I have to go back to the club."
"Wait, now?" Phoebe asks
"Yeah, the wicked witch has struck again." Alexis answers, she flames out.
~~~P3~~~~
Alexis flames into the back room, and comes out to find Jeremy unconscious on the floor and a man wearing a green dress waiting.
Alexis places her hands on her hips, "Who did this? The wicked witch?"
"Uh, no, actually, that was me." the manreplies
"You? Why?" Alexis asks
"I couldn't let him open the club, let all those people in here. Not until you turn me back into a wood nymph." the man answers
"Okay, well, who's to say that there's not more coming after you? I cannot keep the club closed all night. Piper will kill me." Alexis states,
"Cry me a river, sister." the man replies, another man and a woman walk down the stairs. "We have lives too, you know. Without me, nature falls out of harmony. Flowers wilt, trees wither, streams dry up. It ain't pretty. And this guy..."
"Hi." the second man greets
"He's an ogre. A giant, terrifying ogre. Now tell me, does he look imposing to you in the least?" the manly wood nymph asks
"No, not so much." Alexis answers
"And me, I'm supposed to be a fairy." the woman explains
"You see the problem." the not so terrifying ogre states
"Witches curses spread like wild fire. Pretty soon there won't be any of us magic folks left." the wood nymph explains
"No offense, but you don't sound like any of the wood nymphs I've ever met." Alexis states
"It's the curse, I'm telling you, the curse!"
"Alright, alright." Alexis states, she picks up a pen and a notepad off the bar
"Paper and pen? You've got to be kidding. What, are you gonna right the wicked witch a letter?" the wood nymph asks
"Hey, I don't tell you how to save the forest. No, I don't. Okay, tell me everything you know about the wicked witch so we can get rid of her once and for all." Alexis replies, after she chants the spell she wrote the people turn back into their proper creature selves. "Ding dong."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Nymph states,
"We owe you, Alexis." Ogre states
"Yeah, great. Now, why don't you guys get out of here because I know a witch who's gonna really put a curse on me unless..." Alexis states, she trailed off when she noticed that Jeremy was waking up, and the other magical creatures left. Alexis goes over to Jeremy, "Are you feeling okay?"
"What happened?" Jeremy asks as Alexis helps him up
"Well I got your call saying I forgot to check something, but when I came in you were unconscious, maybe you should take a break, now I need to go home and tell Piper it was a false alarm," Alexis lies, she turns and leaves.
Alexis flames in the manor at the same time Leo orbs in,
"I stopped off in the attic on the way back." Leo explains
"I gotta tell you, Leo, whatever Chris has against you in the future; it can't be your lack of determination." Phoebe replies, a spider crawls out of the vent and runs along the floor.
"Still, you might not be in this mess if I hadn't been gone so long." Leo replies
"Well, you have to do what you have to do." Paige states
"My god, Leo, can't you think of anything but yourself?" Phoebe asks
"Phoebe." Alexis and Paige state
"Yeah, that was kind of weird." Phoebe states
"Yeah." Paige agrees.
"You totally bailed on us." Phoebe accused.
"What the hell?" Alexis asks
"Okay, I think maybe I'm channeling Chris's anger?" Phoebe questions
"But he's in the basement. Can you empath from so far away?" Leo asks
"I don't know, maybe my powers are expanding." Phoebe replies
"Or he's closer than we think." Alexis states,
The spider crawls into the parlor and turns into Chris.
"Chris, Stop!" Lynx exclaims
Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige run in.
"No!" Phoebe exclaims,
Spider webs shoot out of Chris's hands and hits Phoebe, sticking her to the wall by her wrists. Paige throws a potion at Chris and he covers it in spider webs. He then sticks Paige and Alexis to the wall also by the wrists. Leo runs in.
"Chris, stop, this isn't you." Leo states
"Wanna bet?" Chris asks, he pushes Leo against the wall.
"Chris, don't." Lynx warns, as she held up her hands Chris sprays her with web and she drove out of the way.
"He's your father." Paige states,Chris throws him up the stairs and sticks him to the wall with spider webs. He walks over to Piper and orbs out with her. "Bug spray, we should have used bug spray."
"Okay, I can't break free. Can you orb?" Phoebe asks, "Or you Alexis?"
"No, I tried." Paige replies,
"Same," Alexis replies, "Lynx, are you okay?" but she didn't get an answer.
"Damn it." Leo curses
"Are Elders even allowed to swear?" Paige asks
"No, but fathers are. Especially ones whose kid tries to kill him." Leo answers
"Well, technically you can't die." Alexis states
"It's not the point." Leo replies
"Well, it wasn't Chris, Leo, it was a demon." Paigereasons
"No, some of it was Chris; I saw it in his eyes." Leo disagrees
"I think he's right. I think that's why he can still orb. He can be saved." Phoebestates
"Yeah, well, can we?" Paige asks
Phoebe sees the shillelagh near by.
"Maybe with a little luck." Phoebe suggests
"Shillelagh." Paige summons
The shillelagh orbs and taps on the floor three times. A rainbow appears and so does Riley.
"Somebody called." Riley states looking around
"Hey, over here." Alexis states
He laughs. "Now there's something you don't see every day."
"Yeah, thanks a lot. Can you just get us down from here, please?" Alexis asks
"I can try, but as you know, luck can go either way. Good or bad. Take your chances." Riley replies
"Yeah, well, we'll take our chances." Phoebe states
"Very well. Slainte is tainte!" Riley replies, Paige falls from the wall and lands on a table, smashing it. Riley chuckles. "I tried to warn you, love."
After they were freed, Leo starts scrying for the wizard, while Phoebe, and Paige watch. Lynx sat on a chair with an ice pack to her head,
"I don't understand why this isn't working. Maybe I have the wrong wizard." Leo states after fifteen minutes of scrying.
"Or maybe because there's nothing to find. Leo, you gotta stop beating yourself up over this, okay. It's not your fault." Phoebe states
"I just, I don't understand why he hates me so much." Leo replies,
Lynx looked up "I hate you too or will hate you,"
"Yeah, but Leo, it's in the future, it hasn't happened yet, so you can change it." Phoebe states, while giving her niece a glare,
"If Chris lives long enough to tell me what to change. Why am I scrying for the wizard? The demon has Piper, I should be scrying for her." Leo states
"Here, use her keys." Phoebe suggests, she grabs Piper's keys and hands them to Leo, he continues to scry. The crystal points to a place on the map.
"Got her." Leo states
"Okay, I'll take the antidote, you take the vanquishing potion. Alexis!" Phoebe replies,
"Piper didn't bless it." Leo states
"It's all we've got." Phoebe replies
"But we need the power of four. How are we gonna make up for Piper?" Leo asks
Alexis walks in with the nymph, fairy and ogre following her.
"Well, how about with a little help from our friends." Alexis answers,
Outside the Spider Demon's cave. Alexis, Phoebe, Paige, Leo and the ogre are there. The ogre throws a rock at the cave entrance and the cave's force field sends the rock flying back to the ogre. He catches it.
"Nice catch." Paige comments,
"Thank you." Ogre replies
"So wait, we can't get in?" Phoebe asks
"No, it's impenetrable." Leo answers
"Great plan." Alexis comments
"Well, maybe we can draw her out?" Paige asks
"How's that?" Leo asks
"I could just knock." Ogre suggests
"Good thinking." Phoebe replies
Inside the cave. The spider demon is sucking out Piper's and unborn Chris' powers. She hears the ogre banging. Chris is on the ground groaning in pain.
"Damn it. Can't a demon eat in peace?" Spider Demon asks
The spider demon walks outside. "You're pissing me off, you know."
"Yeah, that's the idea." Paige replies
"You think you can take me? Without your sister?" Spider Demon asks
"We're just gonna have to see. Now!" Alexis answers The fairy flies in front of the spider demon's face. The spider demon hits Alexis across the face and she falls to the ground. Phoebe kicks the spider demon. The nymph comes out of the bushes and throws the potion at the spider demon. It misses when she turns back into a spider. "Step on her."
The ogre steps on the spider and squishes it into the ground.
"That's gross." Phoebe states
"Sorry." Ogre apologizes
Alexis gets up. "Give me the antidote."
"No. This is my responsibility." Leo replies
Inside. Piper is now out of the cocoon. She pulls the spider webs off her clothes.
"Piper, are you okay?" Leo asks
"I think so. What are you doing here?" Piper asks
"Uh, it's a long story." Leo answers
They hear a noise.
"What's that?" Piper asks
Chris walks in.
"Our little boy. You gotta get out of here." Leo answers, then he waves his hand and Piper orbs out.
Outside the cave. Piper orbs in.
"Oh, hey, welcome back." Paige greets
"Where's Leo?" Phoebe asks
Chris blocks the cave door with spider webs.
"I'm guessing inside working out some issues with Daddy," Alexis replies
Inside the cave. Chris walks towards Leo.
"Alright, Chris, come on, can we just talk about this a minute?" Leo asks
Chris grabs Leo by the throat. "A minute? We have the next hundred years."
Outside the cave. Piper is trying to blow up the blocked door.
"I can't get through that thing." Piper states
"You want me to try knocking again?" Ogre asks
"Uh, I don't think that's gonna work this time." Phoebe replies
"That's okay, we'll take it from here." Alexis states
"Are you sure?" Nymph asks
"Yeah, we're positive. But thanks for everything." Alexis answers
The nymph, ogre and fairy disappear.
"I told you guys not to bring Leo here." Piper scolded
"I think he just saved your life." Phoebereplies
"Yeah, at his expense, and maybe Chris's too." Piper states
Inside the cave. Leo is stuck to a large spider web.
"Well, at least we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other... dad." Chris states
"See, that's what I'm talking about. That's not the demon talking, that's you talking, Chris. It's not too late, you just have to fight it." Leo replies
"Why fight it when I've already won?" Chris asks, he throws out more spider webs which covers Leo's hand.
"Tell me why you hate me so much, Chris. Huh? What did I do to become such a bad dad?" Leo asks
"It doesn't matter anymore." Chris replies
"No? The hell it doesn't. Deep down you hate my guts. Huh? Admit it. Come on, admit it. What, you afraid? Leo questions
"I'm not afraid of you." Chris states
"No? Then why don't you tell me what I did to you? What, did I miss a school play? Did I take away your favorite toy? Did I play favorites with Wyatt?" Leo asks, Chris gets angry and grabs Leo. He throws him across the room. He runs over and pushes him against the wall. "Chris, don't!"
"You don't know me." Chris replies, he punches Leo in the stomach and throws him over his shoulder.
outside. Alexis rubs her neck.
"Alexis, you should take the antidote." Phoebe states
"No, no, I'm fine. It didn't even break my skin, it just hurts." Alexis replies
"Yeah, but still." Phoebe states
"No, we need to save it for Chris." Alexis disagrees
"Alexis" Phoebe sighs
"Ow." Piper states
"What's the matter?" Phoebe asks
"Kidney shot." Piper answers
"Maybe he's trying to tell you something." Phoebe suggests
"Maybe he is. Give me that." Piper agrees
"What? Why?" Phoebe asks
"So I can take it." Piper replies
"What?" Paige asks
"You've been saying whatever happens to little Chris happens to big Chris, and that's what you've been so worried about." Piper replies
"So?" Paige asks
"So if I take this, then the baby's inoculated and Chris is just fine, right?" Piper asks
"Do you follow that?" Paige asks
"Not a word." Phoebe replies,
"I know what's Piper's talking about if she takes the potion, then it will turn Chris back to his necrotic self," Alexis explains.
"Just give it to me." Piper orders, she snatches the antidote off Phoebe and drinks it.
Chris is still punching Leo. "You don't know me, you don't know me! You don't know me!"
Chris turns back to normal and the spider webs blocking the entrance disappears. Chris continues to punch Leo in the face. Piper, Phoebe, Alexis, and Paige walk in.
"Chris, no! Chris! Chris, look at me!" Piper exclaims, she pulls him away from Leo. "It's okay. It's over."
Chris leaves the cave.
"Chris," Alexis whispers,
later that night at P3. A band is playing. Phoebe, Alexis, Harry, Cedric, Hermione, Ron, and Paige are there. Paige is behind the bar. Phoebe, Alexis walks over to her. Lynx chose to stay home because she knew Chris is going to need her.
"Hi, this place is hopping, huh?" Phoebe asks
"Yeah. Not a bad guy over there. Is that Nick?" Paige replies
"Uh, no, actually, that's Ron." Phoebe replies, "Which isn't Ron Weasley,"
"What, did you skip some letters in the alphabet?" Alexis asks
"Q's are hard to find." Phoebe replies
"I hear ya. Well, at least he's handsome." Paige replies
"He's cute, right? Okay, have fun. Bye." Phoebe agrees
Phoebe goes back to Ron. Paige picks up a tray of drinks and takes it over to Riley, the nymph and the ogre.
"Okay, drinks on the house." Paige states
"God bless you, love. Cheers." Riley replies,
"Paige, I want a mineral water," Alexis states, sitting down at bar,
"Why aren't you with Cedric?" Paige asks
"He's taking a turn with dancing with Hermione," Alexis answers,
"Worried about Chris?" Paige asks,
"Yeah," Alexis replies,
At the manor, Lynx laid curled up under a blanket reading one of the books her mom owned, she knew that Chris wouldn't be in the best shape and with Leo trying to find out why Chris hated him. She thought of all the times that Chris called for his dad and he never showed up, but when Wyatt called he always did. Even when she called sometimes he wouldn't show up, it was almost like he knew she was only calling for Chris.
Lynx looked up from the page she was trying to read when Chris orbed in. he walked over and curled up beside her. Only with Lynx there, Chris was able to cry and Lynx just held him stroking his hair.
