Chris then found the blob from earlier now trying to consume him.
"Well it's about time you called to say hello. Ah my darlings." Grams said going to hug Phoebe.
"Eh we've got a problem." Piper said
"Well you're not the only one." Penny said, seeing the blob up to Chris' knees.
"Orb out." Leo told Chris, receiving nods of agreement from Wyatt and Melinda.
"No, magic makes it grow. Summoning her spirit already gave it power." Chris explained.
"Ah you must be Chris, the new whitelighter." Penny said wanting to shake hands, but by now the blob had covered Chris' arms and was moving fast. Penny wrapped her arms around Leo's, "You know he doesn't look very qualified for the job."
Wyatt and Mel were about to step in, knowing how much Penny's words could mean to Chris, but they were interrupted by Piper, "Chris just let me blast it."
Chris shook his head no.
"She's right, orb." Phoebe said.
"Oh for heaven's sake, just listen to them. We'll find a way to vanquish the foul thing later." Penny said.
Chris seeing even his siblings agree, he reluctantly listened and orbed out as Piper blasted it.
"Now." Leo said as Piper blasted it only to have it disappear into the floor.
As everyone else registered expressions of shock, Chris just shook his head, as he already knew that would happen.
"What happened, where did it go?" P.J. asked.
Penny turned and asked, "Who do we have here?"
"Oh they're also from the future. But apparently different from the one Chris comes from." Piper said.
"Well if they're from different futures shouldn't they be able to tell us what the big-bad-thing is that we need to stop?"
Piper huffed, "You would think so wouldn't you!"
Melinda didn't like being talked down to like that, especially coming from her mother and grandmother, "Hey, unlike Chris, we didn't come here intentionally. Believe me if we had, we'd have already taken care of things."
"Mel's right. If we had planned on coming here we'd have known who was responsible and taken care of it. It's not exactly a subject taught in schools you know. So forgive us for not knowing all the details." P.J. said. Their parents rarely if ever talked about Chris' trip to the past. The only reason they were even told was due to Chris getting his memories from this life and even then not a lot of details were told.
"Wow, such fiery spirits. What are your names?"
Phoebe smiled and said, "This is P.J. She's a cupid." There was almost a sense of pride in her voice. PJ. knew there was no way Phoebe had any idea she was her daughter but wondered if maybe she had a feeling or something.
Piper said, "This is Melissa, she's a witch."
Penny frowned, "I've never met a cupid, I wouldn't have thought they had children or used children to do their work for them. I've also never known them to interact with witches unless it's to help them find love."
"There's a lot of things you don't know about." P.J. said. She hadn't had any dealings with her great grandmother before: This was honestly the first time she had ever even met her. They had never summoned her in her time that she could remember. "How I'm a cupid is not your concern. Mel and I met years ago." It would give them away if she said she was only part cupid, they would question if she was part witch, if she told them the truth and said yes. Then they would demand to know who she is.
Penny wasn't happy about being talked down to by, in her opinion, a little girl. She turned to Wyatt and asked, "What's your excuse young man?"
Wyatt sighed, "I have a bad habit of forgetting things. I know who we're up against. I just don't know the person's name and until I can connect with Chris I can't show him."
"What's your name?"
Fearing Wyatt would screw up and say his real name or give a different one Chris said, "That's Matt, he's a whitelighter."
"Well you're not a very good whitelighter. For heaven's sake you know who we're up against - just describe him to us and we'll go from there."
"Better yet they have a spell that can show us but they refuse." Leo said.
"Why? If you can just show us…"
Before Wyatt could say anything Chris said, "If he could he would but he can't."
"I don't know why not. It concerns my son." Piper said.
P.J. was mad and without thinking said, "Because it would put your other son in danger." Seeing everyone staring at her and glares from the other future members she realized she'd screwed up.
Piper was stunned to say the least, "What the hell are you talking about? I only have one child! Chris, what does she mean my other child? Tell me you didn't break up my marriage to keep my second child from being born?"
Without waiting to see how Chris tried to get out of it, Wyatt said, "Just as she said, I can't show you because it deals with your second child. Besides, there's still time, your second child won't be born…"
"For a while." Chris said cutting Wyatt off as he was sure Wyatt was going to say several months which would only lead to questions he can't answer. "As for your marriage, I had nothing to do with your break up. That's on you. Leo was always destined to become an Elder. All I did was speed up the process. Your second child isn't lost. Not yet."
"And with us broken up, how would you even know if the child was ever conceived?"
"Believe me, I'd know."
"How?"
" Careful Chris, they might realize it's you." Melinda said.
"Future consequences."
"Is he evil too? Is that why you broke them up so he wouldn't be like Wyatt?" Phoebe asked.
"What? No!" Chris said. "How many times do I have to tell you that Leo was always going to be an elder and abandon his family."
Wyatt and Melinda looked at him and said, "Chris!"
Leo glared at him, "I would never abandon my family!"
"Oh no, you're right. You could never abandon Wyatt, your pride and joy."
Before an argument could ensue, and they could possibly figure out Chris, or worse yet Chris could give in to his anger and reveal himself, Melinda quickly changed the subject. "Shouldn't we be worried about Paige stuck in the past?"
"What do you mean Paige is stuck in the past?" Penny questioned.
Just then Baby Wyatt started crying. Leo sighed and said, "Take Penny downstairs and tell her what happened. I'll see too, Wyatt."
"We'll stay here and see if we can find a way to destroy the blob." Melinda said. After everyone left Melinda sighed and turned to P.J., "Ladybug you nearly exposed Chris."
"Sorry, I wasn't thinking. What's wrong with telling them who you are?" P.J. asked.
"At this point they may make the choice not to have me." Chris grumbled.
Melinda hugged him, "I don't believe that."
"Even so, if we tell them we risk them discovering all of you." Chris explained.
"So?" P.J. asked.
Knowing this wasn't his P.J. he tried to keep calm. "If Phoebe finds out, she could potentially do something that makes the elders rethink introducing her to Uncle Coop."
Melinda sighed realizing that once again she was going to have to play peacekeeper, "Look let's concentrate on the blob thingy. Now what's its name? What does the book say about weaknesses?"
"It has as far as I know no known weaknesses. It also was never named." Chris told them.
"Fine, then how do we destroy it?" Melinda asked, starting to become annoyed with the situation.
"I had hoped it was small enough when we found it that just mom and, well I had planned for Paige but when she didn't show, I got Phoebe and hoped just the two could handle it. I was wrong." Chris said.
"Alright then how is it supposed to be destroyed?" Wyatt asked.
"The Power of Three." Chris stated simply.
"Great, what's the problem? We wait till we know no one's around and the three of you destroy it." P.J. said simply.
"How exactly do we explain to mom and the others how we destroyed it?" Chris asked.
