Now free of both the slime blob and her hippie past Penny looked to where Wyatt and the others had just been, shocked and confused.
The Charmed Ones returned safe and sound. Piper took Wyatt from Leo and asked, "What happened? Is everything okay? Where's Grams?"
Sensing the return of the Charmed Ones, Wyatt and the others orbed in as Leo said, "I don't know, everything just stopped. Penny went all hippie earlier and then left to reason with the thing. I doubt she survived."
Just then Penny came in covered in ash from the blown up demon, appeared and said, "Don't be ridiculous, you can't kill an old war horse like me. I'm already dead."
As Phoebe hugs her, Paige walks over to Leo with Wyatt and his siblings within earshot and says, "Hey there, Sun God."
The future kids looked at each other in both shock and disgust at that.
Leo let out a nervous laugh, "That was a long time ago. Let's just keep it to ourselves."
Chris and the others were more than happy to forget the conversation took place.
Penny cleared her throat and said, "Piper, why don't you and the others take Wyatt upstairs. I'd like to talk to these future people, alone."
"Then we'll all stay." Piper said.
"Piper, I respect your rights when it comes to protecting this family. Now respect mine when I say I want privacy talking to these people." Grams said, voice stern.
"But Grams?" Piper questioned, curious about what Grams wanted to know, and more importantly about what the kids would say.
"Would you like it if I popped in whenever you wanted to talk to someone about a family matter in private about something?" Grams explained.
"No, of course not." Piper conceded.
"Well why not? You're saying I'm not allowed to talk with these kids alone. What's the difference?"
"The difference is obvious. They have knowledge of what is going to happen to my son. I have the right to know." Piper said.
"Piper, I will not ask you again. I know you're worried but you also know that they will never say anything with you here."
Leo put his hands on Piper's shoulders and said, "She's right, Piper. Let's go lay Wyatt down."
As much as Phoebe and Paige wanted to stay too, they knew Grams was right and helped Leo drag a resisting Piper out of the room and towards the stairs.
Penny looked at the kids and said, "Follow me." She then heads into the sunroom.
Sharing looks of unease, everyone looked to Chris who said, "We don't have much choice. Do any of you want to tell her no?"
The answer was a definite no, so they all reluctantly followed her. Once they were all in the room, Penny then threw up her hands and the kids were impressed to see what looked like a forcefield around them.
"What did you do? How did you do that? You didn't say anything." P.J. asked.
"It was a simple spell. You don't need words, just thought. I don't want Piper or any of the others to sneak down here or cast an eavesdropping spell. So I created a soundproof barrier. They now can no longer hear anything that will be said."
"What do you think you know?" Chris asked. It was the only reason he could think of as to why she wanted to talk to them in private, going as far creating a soundproof barrier.
"As you, I'm sure, are aware I was in the basement. I saw the three of you do a Power of Three spell." She looked at Chris and said, "I also heard you call him, Wyatt. The name of Piper's current child." Pointing at Wyatt, then pointed to Mel said, "Then you called her Melinda, the child she was supposed to have before the elders screwed things up. That must mean you are the child she mentioned Piper will have." Pointing at P.J., "Then who are you, don't tell me Piper will have 4 children?"
"Actually I'm Phoebe's daughter." P.J. said.
"P.J." Chris said, clearly upset not just at her revealing herself, and confirming everything Grams had just said, but at Penny's attitude towards Wyatt.
"What? She already knows. Wy, you should drop the glamor for Grams." P.J. said.
Wyatt unsure looked at Chris who sighed and said, "Go ahead."
Wyatt dug in his pocket for the spell, then said, "I call upon the ancient powers to unmask me now and in future hours. Show me well and thoroughly. Reveal myself so that my grandmother can see."
Penny was surprised, "You remind me a lot of my Alan when he was young."
"What now, you going to tell Mom and the others?" Chris asked sullenly.
"You remind me a lot of myself. I won't tell if you explain why you all are here and why you don't tell them." Grams countered, crossing her arms in front of her.
Chris started by explaining what brought him here, "I'm here to save Wyatt from turning evil."
"He's standing right here. He's not evil." Grams deadpanned.
Wyatt sighed, "But I am. Well, not me, but in Chris' world I'm evil. We're from different alternate futures. I've been to his world, if we don't find and stop the person responsible I might become that person. I don't want that to happen." Seeing as how he was from an alternate future Wyatt wasn't sure if they failed that he would become that person, but he wasn't going to risk it.
"Is what they said true, you know who did this?" Grams questioned. Honing in on the problem and solution portion of the conversation, she was quickly switching into the fierce matriarch role she was known for.
"Yes, in my world, my Chris and I have a very strong bond. Because of that I learned what happened here. I never thought I'd be able to come back to try to stop it." Wyatt said
"Well why not tell them?" Grams practically yelled, throwing her hands up in frustration.
"I already explained that: I don't know the person's name, only that they're an elder and they're currently working with or will work with Barbas. I'm trying to find a way to identify him, so that we can vanquish him or at the very least keep him from the elder." Wyatt explained.
"What are you girls doing?" Grams asked, gesturing to the girls in question, clearly indicating that she didn't think they were being sufficiently helpful.
"Wy, wants us to check magic school for both a possible solution to Barbas and any elder that might be the one responsible and ones that might help deal with the one responsible." Melinda answered, irritated at being accused of not helping.
"How are you going to do that if he's the only one who knows who you're looking for?" Grams continued, pointing to Wyatt.
"That's why I have to reconnect with Chris, so that I can show him what I know." Wyatt answered.
"That's ridiculous. If you were to at least show your sister and cousin then they could help identify the responsible elder faster."
"I hadn't thought of that." Wyatt said. Even Chris saw the value in the suggestion. He should have thought of that.
"Will it work? I mean, we were mostly assuming it would only work with me because of the bond we share in his timeline." Chris questions.
