November 28th 2004
Harry felt Cordelia summoning him rather urgently so he appeared in the portion of the underworld he felt her calling from. Leo appeared at the same time but didn't immediately notice Harry because Harry was standing somewhat behind Harry. Leo released an overpowered lightning bolt and vanquished three demons at once. The last demon escaped.
"Leo, I didn't know you had the juice for that," Harry said appreciatively as he walked over and found Cordelia crouching behind a boulder.
Leo appeared startled.
"Harry, I didn't know you were down here," Leo said.
"Cordelia is a friend of sorts," Harry said as Cordelia stood and brushed herself off.
"Cordelia," Leo said with surprise.
It was obvious Leo knew Cordelia but Leo didn't know Harry knew that Leo knew Cordelia. Cordelia rolled her eyes at the byplay between the two males. Leo was also surprised because he hadn't known that Cordelia had changed her name to Cordelia from Kyra.
"What happened?" Harry asked Cordelia while purposefully ignoring the obvious question of what Leo was doing there.
"I was going to the demonic marketplace and was attacked by those idiots," Cordelia explained.
Of course Cordelia would have been able to take out her attackers with ease. Even Prometheus would have easily been capable of dispatching his mistress' attackers. But Cordy's new premonition ability told her things should happen this way.
"We had better get out of here. She needs to be taken to the manor," Leo suggested.
Harry nodded and took Cordelia's hand. All three left at the same time.

Halliwell Manor Attic
"I have a nasty bump that won't stop hurting," Cordy said.
"Don't look at me," Leo said. "I can't heal demons."
Harry placed his hand on her forehead and channeled his healing power.
"Thank you, Harry," Cordy said when he was done.
"Why didn't you just shimmer out of there?" Leo questioned.
"I knew you both were coming and I need to make a deal with your bosses," Cordy told Leo. At that point she noticed the Book of Shadows. "Now that looks interesting," She said as she walked a little closer.
"Why were your fellow demons trying to kill you?" Leo asked.
"The Elders should have told you," Cordy said perplexed. "You have gotten a lot harder to read since we last met, Leo. I am selling the other demons out for bigger and better things. They are naturally upset. They would do the same thing to me if they had the chance."
"Leo, why don't you stay up here and keep an eye on Cordelia. I'm going to go explain to the sisters about her," Harry suggested.
Leo nodded his agreement and Harry left the attic. Harry thought about Leo's current situation. Leo had been smart enough to figure out that the floating head visions he had been experiencing were meant to isolate him from the other Elders and make him distrust the Elders. The floating heads had wanted Leo to kill another Elder named Zola. Zola and Leo had cooked up a plan for Zola's death to be faked at the hands of Leo. Leo had come to Harry asking for an illusion generating enchanted device that would generate an illusion of whatever Leo was picturing. Harry hadn't asked questions but had kept an eye on Leo after that.
It was through the illusion generator that Leo and Zola faked Zola's death. Only two other Elders knew of the ploy. Leo had been approached shortly after by several beings who identified themselves as members of a group called the Avatars. Leo had been elevated in power and ability to become a member of the Avatars. Leo's secret mission was to find out the Avatars' agenda. Harry had told only Prue, Patty, Freyja, and Meta what was going on. Freyja and Meta had both heard of the Avatars but didn't know much about the group. But both women were doing research in old archives they knew of.
Harry entered the kitchen to find Piper bent over looking in the oven at something she was making. Harry couldn't resist. He walked up behind her and gently grasped her by the hips. He pressed himself into her rump.
"That had better be you, Harry," Piper said. "And someone is happy to see me," She whispered as she stood and pressed her back into him.
She turned her head enough to look up and see his face.
"Hello gorgeous," Harry said.
"You are such a butt-man," Piper said with an amused smile before kissing him.
"Why are we whispering?" Harry queried after they broke the kiss.
"I have a soufflé in the oven," Piper explained.
"Ah," Harry said in understanding before gesturing with his fingers towards the oven. "A silencing enchantment has now been erected around the oven. Your soufflé is safe."
"Thank you," Piper said. She looked thoughtfully at his face analyzing his expression. "You have something you don't think I'm going to like to tell me. Just get it out."
"There is a demonic seer named Cordelia. She isn't like other demons. She has some deal to make with the Elders…I think for information. She is actually kind of nice," Harry explained. "Other demons are trying to kill her. The Elders want us to protect her. Leo is upstairs in the attic with her right now."
Piper took a deep breath and forced herself to remain calm.
"I see why you were a little worried," Piper said. Then a thought occurred to her. "This Cordelia is attractive isn't she?"
"Yes," Harry confirmed.
"I see. Have you had sex with her?" Piper questioned.
"No," Harry replied.
"Do you want to have sex with her?" Piper probed further.
"Very much so," Harry confirmed.
"I see," Piper mused.
Piper and Phoebe still occasionally struggled with twinges of jealousy but they suppressed those urges. They had known getting into a relationship with Harry would involve other women. It was made so much easier by the fact that he could be in multiple places at once and was available to any one of his women any time they wanted to spend with him.
"Are you ok?" Harry asked.
"Yes…just had to suppress a jealousy twinge," Piper admitted.
"I love you," Harry said with sincere affection in his tone.
"And I love you," Piper agreed. "Come on…we better go tell Phoebe and Paige before they find Cordelia on their own."
"I do so love following you up stairs," Harry informed Piper with happiness as he followed her up the stairs.
"Butt-man," Piper teased but without turning to show her boyfriend the pleased grin on her lips.
"Paige…demon," Phoebe was overhead saying a moment later as Harry and Piper reached the top of the stairs.
"Stop," Harry said in a commanding tone as he stepped into the hallway between Cordelia and the sisters.
Harry caught the mirror which Paige had orb-thrown at Cordelia.
"Please explain," Paige requested.
Piper filled her sisters in quickly. Inwardly Piper felt a little self-conscious. Harry had not mentioned just how bloody gorgeous Cordelia was, especially in that outfit! Piper considered herself to be completely heterosexual. But Cordelia invoked thoughts in Piper's head that made Piper start to ask questions.
Just then the doorbell rang.
"Crap…that is Kyle," Paige said. "Harry, quick question…does this outfit suggest I just want to be friends?"
Harry looked at Paige's outfit.
"Well…Paige…you are gorgeous. His mind is going to be very clouded with thoughts of arousal," Harry explained. "Can I see that bracelet on your wrist?" Paige nodded and allowed Harry to take her wrist. His fingers danced over the bracelet and his mere touch sent a pleasant tingle down her wrist and throughout her body. Her resolve to remain celibate for a time while she thought about her love life and if she wanted to make Harry a part of it was severely tested. "There…the enchantment I just put on this bracelet will allow you to suppress any sexual thoughts a guy has about you. You just need to focus on the guy and think about him not being attracted to you."
"Harry…that could be revolutionary," Phoebe said. "I think Piper and I want one too."
"Sure," Harry agreed. "I can whip you up something more permanent later."
Cordelia analyzed the auras of those around her as they interacted. It was quite obvious that Phoebe and Piper were madly in love with Harry. Paige was still trying to get her head on straight but was incredibly attracted to Harry.
"Thank you Harry," Paige said before giving him a quick kiss on the cheek in thanks.
Paige left the hall to go share a meal with Kyle Brody as just friends.
"Wouldn't Cordelia be safer at your place, Harry?" Phoebe questioned.
"She would," Leo confirmed as he made his presence in the hallway known. "But the Elders have no control over Harry. They are cautious about him after the thing with Gideon. Since the deal is with the Elders and you have a decent relationship with them they wish for you to protect her."
"Where will she sleep?" Piper questioned. "We are rather full up."
"I could sleep with you," Cordy suggested.
Piper blushed and Cordy smirked. Cordy could sense Piper's attraction. The aura of Cordy's divine husband flowed through Cordy in lower levels than in her husband. But still the aura was effective enough to influence Piper's sexuality somewhat. Piper wasn't about to go out and start jumping other women. But Piper definitely became more curious when around Cordy and when thinking about Cordy.
"I think Harry could make you up a bed in my room," Piper agreed. "A separate bed," She added as she tried to ignore the husky tone her voice had gone into.
"Good…that's settled," Phoebe said.
Phoebe was feeling the same way towards Cordy. Phoebe's tone of voice had also turned a little husky.

"I must say…I definitely like the bodyguard approach over putting me in some kind of magical cage," Cordy said after she had finished listing off her demands for the Elders in order to make the deal. "But however will this work when I'm in the bathroom?"
"Well I can monitor the room without being in it," Harry said.
"Of course you can…because you are very powerful," Cordy said with a wink.
Inside Cordy was smirking. This Harry may be powerful but Cordy was pretty sure she was more powerful than him. She may not have been Ascended herself but she was bonded with an Ascended. In times of great need she could draw on her Ascended husband's power.
"So is that everything from your list?" Piper verified.
"Just one more thing," Cordy replied. "I want to be made human."
"What? But you are a powerful demon," Piper pointed out.
"I told you she was different," Harry said to his girlfriend.
"Living in the underworld sucks," Cordy explained.
"Are you sure she actually knows anything?" Piper asked Harry. "This could all just be a big scam."
Before Harry could answer three demons appeared in the attic. The lead demon, a black male, threw a fireball at Cordelia. Harry's hand snapped out and rebounded the fireball right back on the lead demon vanquishing it. Leo got the second demon with overcharged lightning. The third demon just seemed to explode as if space-time itself had ripped the demon apart. Harry glanced suspiciously at Cordelia. It had almost seemed as if that last attack had come from her but she looked quite unaware about it. Cordy inwardly applauded herself for her acting skills. She had taken out the last demon. Three more demons appeared.
"Enough," Harry said as he struck out with his hands towards the three new arrivals.
Arcane energy visibly lanced out of Harry's fingertips in thin brilliantly glowing threads. The threads twisted around the demons causing the demons to writhe in agony. Then the demons vanished back to the underworld where they would go off like a bomb.
"Did you just overcharge their essences?" Cordy asked appreciatively.
"Yes," Harry confirmed.
"I don't understand…what did he do?" Piper asked.
"He returned them to their lair so that they would explode and take out the other demons present," Cordy explained.
"Or at least any demons within that chamber they are in," Harry added.
"Nice," Piper said appreciatively.
The other sisters had entered the attic during the fighting.
"What's going on?" Paige questioned.
"Cordelia was just finishing off her list of demands with wanting to be human and we were trying to get to the bottom of what she has to offer the Elders," Piper summarized.
"Woh…what could possibly be worth making you human?" Phoebe probed.
"Oh not much…just the skinny on the Avatars," Cordy replied.
Leo immediately looked interested.
"What do you know about the Avatars?" Kyle Brody asked as he entered the attic.
"I know that they are closer than you think," Cordy hinted. "They could be here any minute."
Kyle turned and hurried from the room. Paige went after him.
"That bloke is a bit obsessed," Harry mused.
"You're telling me," Phoebe said in agreement. "Ok…we need to talk alone."
"I'll stay here with her," Harry said while indicating Cordelia. "I can listen in on your conversation telepathically."
"Nifty," Cordy stated.
"That could be distracting," Piper said. "Chris," Piper called.
"Yeah mom…what's up?" Chris asked after he had orbed in.
"Can you keep an eye on her? Demons are trying to kill her," Piper explained while indicating Cordelia.
"Sure," Chris agreed.
Everyone else but Cordelia and Chris left the attic.
"Ok…the first thing I'm confused about is why the Seer would want to be human if the Avatars are evil and evil is about to take over," Phoebe stated.
"That doesn't make any sense," Leo agreed. "The Avatars may be good. She must think they are good."
"Well we need to know what proof she has. So the deal must be made," Harry said.
"I'll go talk to the Elders and see if the deal can be struck," Leo announced.
"I'm going to try to tap into the Seer's power since our abilities are similar," Phoebe suggested. "I might be able to see what she knows."
Everyone departed. Harry went back up to the attic along with Phoebe. Piper went to check on her sons. Daniel and Wyatt were staying at Harry's house with their aunt and grandmother. Leo went to talk with the other Elders.

"That was quick," Chris said as Harry and Phoebe entered the attic.
"Any trouble?" Phoebe asked her nephew.
"No. She's just been looking at the family albums," Chris explained.
"You guys are like a family with pictures of fun times and stuff," Cordy said, letting Kyra's childlike amazement at such simple aspects of human life shine through.
"Look at Wyatt. That is his first birthday," Phoebe said as she pointed at a picture and then brought her hand back to Cordy's wrist.
Phoebe kept putting her hands all over Cordelia trying to force a vision.
"Please push a little harder on that right shoulder. If you aren't going to get a premonition then you could at least work out that knot," Cordy suggested.
"Can't blame a girl for trying," Phoebe said with a wry expression.
"When I first started trying to get my visions I had to touch people too," Cordy explained. "Your phone is about to ring."
"Nice," Phoebe complimented as she answered her phone.
Harry started massaging Cordelia's shoulders.
"You are just so awesome," Cordelia declared with a moan.
"That was Darryl. I'll call him back," Phoebe said. "So explain to me Cordelia why you want to be human?"
"In my field I see a lot of both the good and bad. The good is just better," Cordy explained. "I can see it but as a demon I can't feel it. Being a demon is about feeding the endless emptiness. I'm just so sick of it."
"And the Avatars can give you that," Phoebe suggested. At Cordelia's look she added, "I know…you can't tell me or you won't have any bargaining chip."
"Right," Cordy confirmed. "You still aren't sure I have what you want. I tell you what…I will help you with the issue with the cop instead…Sheridan."
"That would help build some trust," Phoebe agreed as she held out a pen Darryl had brought over earlier that had belonged to Sheridan.
Cordy took the pen and concentrated on her vision abilities.

Hawkbrook Mental Health Facility
Harry, Phoebe, and Cordelia appeared in a plaza to see Darryl standing in front of them with his back turned.
"Darryl," Phoebe called.
Darryl turned and spotted the unusually dressed seer.
"Who is this?" Darryl asked.
"This is Cordelia the seer," Phoebe answered. "Cordelia as you know this is Darryl. Let's see if we can find Sheridan."
"Hold on a second," Darryl said. "Do you really think after all this time spent dealing with magical issues that I wouldn't be able to recognize a demon?"
"Relax, Darryl. I'm keeping my eyes on her," Harry assured.
Cordy threw Harry a sultry smirk at this statement.
"Bring Sheila some of that marzipan she likes and you won't have to sleep on the couch any longer," Cordy advised.
"This stuff is all so crazy," Darryl muttered. "Lead the way."
Harry and Darryl followed the two seers into the main building. Once they made it into the low-security section they found the hallways lined with quite a few mental health patients.
"What kind of place is this?" Cordy asked curiously.
"It's a mental hospital," Phoebe replied.
"I've never seen this side of good in my visions before," Cordy said.
"Not all of good is entirely good all the time," Harry replied. "That aspect should make it easier for you to adjust to being good."
"It's still better to have good that is not always good than bad that is never good," Cordy suggested. "Try this door," She added as they came to a spot in the hallway.
Darryl opened the doorway that led into an office. Through the office there was another doorway. When Darryl opened the second door a hospital room with an unconscious Sheridan was discovered. Phoebe immediately called Paige.
"Hello Phoebe, what's up?" Paige asked.
"We found Sheridan lying unconscious in a hospital bed in a mental health institute. I suggest you make an excuse to come home. If he gives you any trouble then just orb out of there," Phoebe urged.
"Noted," Paige said. "I'll be home shortly."
"She is in a medically induced coma," Harry announced after analyzing Sheridan. "Brody must have paid off the doctor to keep her under. That must be why she is back in this private room like this."
"What do we do now?" Darryl asked.
"We should probably leave things be until we figure out why Brody has her like this," Phoebe suggested. "Is she in any danger?"
"Not in the short term. I can set some monitoring wards up to monitor her condition. If anything changes I can intervene quickly," Harry suggested.
That was what they did.
OP – Charmed – OP – Charmed – OP – Charmed – OP – Charmed – OP – Charmed – OP
Harry stayed mostly silent as Cordelia and Phoebe developed a bond that may one day develop into a good friendship. Phoebe honestly cared about Cordelia's fate and Cordelia realized this. Phoebe had wanted Cordelia to identify threats from the Book of Shadows. Unfortunately pretty much every demon in the Book of Shadows wanted Cordelia dead.
Harry's observation of the two beautiful women was distracted by the arrival of another beautiful woman, Paige. Paige appeared in the dining room in a wash of orbs.
"How did it go with Kyle?" Harry asked.
"It took longer to get away than I would have liked," Paige said as Leo, Piper, and Chris arrived.
"Was he being threatening?" Chris asked.
"No," Paige reassured. "But he wanted to tell me about what went on with Sheridan. I think he knew that we were onto the fact that something was up with her and wanted to be the first to tell me."
"Manipulative," Piper commented. "So what did happen?"
"He thought Sheridan was getting too close and wanted to help us out. He shot her with a tranquilizer gun and decided keeping her in a medically induced coma until after the Avatar situation was dealt with was the best route to go," Paige explained.
"That just puts the issue off until later," Phoebe pointed out. "He must not know that Harry was dealing with Sheridan effectively enough."
"No and I wasn't about to tell him," Paige confirmed. "I'm not letting him know anymore of Harry's abilities than are strictly necessary."
Paige had been attempting to get to know Kyle better as a friend and some of the things she saw in his personality made her think he might not be such good romantic material in any case.
"Speaking of Avatars the Elders want more from Cordelia before they are willing to commit to a deal," Leo announced.
"They need me more than I need them," Cordy pointed out.
"That isn't the way they see it," Leo replied. "The way they see it you need our protection from the other demons."
"Not true," Cordelia pointed out. "Harry is my friend. He has a spare bedroom. I would be safe there."
"Something I pointed out to them," Leo answered. "How about a compromise," Leo suggested. "Show Phoebe part of what you foresaw. Phoebe will not tell anybody the specifics. She will only tell me if the information is good enough to get you your deal."
Cordelia looked intently at Phoebe for several moments before saying, "I can do that."
Cordy held out her hands towards Phoebe. Phoebe took the offered hands. Arcane energy passed between the touching hands of the two women. Phoebe was seeing a vision that Cordelia was channeling for several minutes. Then suddenly Cordelia pulled back with a gasp as she received another vision.
"What just happened?" Piper asked.
Phoebe had foreseen both visions.
"I saw the most beautiful future…and the most terrible for Cordelia," Phoebe answered.
"That was Zankou," Cordy said in an alarmed tone.
"Who is this Zankou, guy?" Paige questioned.
"Let's come back to that. What did you see about the Avatars?" Piper queried.
"I can't tell you specifics but Cordelia deserves her deal. I now know about the Avatars," Phoebe said.
"Alright," Leo said. "I need to take you to speak with the Elders, Phoebe. Cordelia, I will be back shortly with the spell to transform you into a human."
Leo and Phoebe left together.

"How do I look?" Cordy asked as she spun in place wearing a new flower print dress.
"You look beautiful," Piper replied.
"Yum," Harry answered.
"He has become monosyllabic. You know you look good when he gets that way," Piper said teasingly.
Just then Phoebe entered the attic.
"How did it go with the Elders?" Harry asked.
"It went fine," Phoebe answered.
"Where is Leo and where is the spell?" Piper questioned.
"Leo is downstairs with the spell. He wanted to talk to the two of you," Phoebe said to Harry and Piper.
Piper nodded and made to leave. Harry at first looked like he was following before he delivered a powerful punch to Phoebe's chest that sent her hurtling out through the attic's window and bouncing off the wards surrounding Harry's house.
"What just happened?" Piper asked after she ran over to the opening in her attic and saw Phoebe slowly getting up from a fall that should have killed Phoebe.
"That isn't Phoebe," Harry said.
"It's Zankou," Cordy said in realization.
"But how did you know?" Piper asked.
"First of all I couldn't sense any of the enchanted objects I have given Phoebe on Zankou. Second Phoebe and I were vigorously intimate this morning. Phoebe was walking a little funny when she left with Leo. Zankou wasn't," Harry explained.
"It would have been so wrong if he had been," Cordy quipped.

"What are you going to do now?" Phoebe asked the former demonic seer.
The sisters had just performed the spell upon Cordelia meant to turn Kyra human. Prometheus had unraveled the spell while invisible and out of phase before it could work on his master. The sisters and Leo were none-the-wiser.
"Harry has graciously allowed me to stay with him in one of his guest rooms until I can get on my feet. Plus he wants to keep an eye on me in case any demons come after me still," Cordy explained.
"I'm sure he does," Piper muttered while silently thinking that any red-blooded male would want to keep an eye on the gorgeous woman.
"Thank you for everything you have done," Cordy told the sisters.
"Thank you," Leo said.
"Shall we go?" Cordy asked Harry.
Harry held out his arm for her and they disappeared to his house.

January 23rd 2005
"Kyle just asked a really good question," Paige declared after having just returned home.
Paige had just vanquished yet another demon on the Avatar's hit list. The Avatars wanted all demons gone before the plan to change the world the Avatars had come up with was implemented. Kyle had been shown by Harry that it hadn't in fact been the Avatars that had killed Kyle's parents but demons. Harry had extracted Kyle's memory of the event and had used a projecting pensieve to show everyone what had happened. But a lifetime of suspecting the Avatars of nefarious deeds didn't go away easily.
"And what would that question be?" Piper queried as she stirred another vanquishing potion.
Phoebe was nearby working with Harry to locate more demons. Leo was off conferring with the Avatars.
"He asked about the specifics of the spell the Avatars are going to have us use to change the world," Paige explained.
"One step ahead of you, sis," Phoebe replied. "We already had the same question and Leo is conferring with the Avatars right now about that very topic."
"Oh…ok," Paige said. "So are we still not trusting the Avatars then?"
"It's called trust but verify," Harry answered. "I have several sources researching the nature of the Avatars in historical records."
"I guess Cordelia's vision wasn't quite good enough," Paige said as she sat down on a nearby couch to take a break after her latest vanquish.
"Visions aren't full-proof," Phoebe advised. "And I only saw a brief glimpse of the future."
While nodding with understanding Paige questioned, "How is Cordelia doing?"
"She's doing quite well. She has been a big help with various magical pursuits. We've also been discussing the nature of reality. Honestly…if I didn't know better I would think she knew far more about the multiverse than I do," Harry mused.
Paige nodded and asked, "Could I speak to you for a moment in the hallway, Harry?"
This request caught the interest of Paige's sisters but they didn't let it show. Harry nodded and followed the brunette into the hallway.
"What's up, Paige?" Harry inquired.
"I have decided my purification streak has gone on long enough. I would like to try dating again and I believe I am finally ready to date you," Paige explained. "That is if you still want to date me," She added.
"Yes…yes I do," Harry confirmed.
"Good," Paige said with a smile. "Perhaps when this Avatar situation is resolved you can take me out on our first date?"
"Yes," Harry agreed.
"Good," Paige said with a grin. She reached out and squeezed Harry's hand affectionately. "It sounds like Leo just got back."
Sure enough when the pair re-entered the attic Leo was present.
"What did the Avatars have to say?" Phoebe asked.
"They explained that the spell will put everyone in the world to sleep just for a few hours. The sleep portion will last long enough to erase the mindset of duality regarding good versus evil. They said this will then allow the original design which every human being has imprinted in their hearts to take hold. Utopia will be brought about," Leo explained.
"Does this sleep spell include us?" Piper questioned.
"Not initially," Leo replied. "No…there will still be straggler demons present. We won't be able to vanquish them all before the casting of the spell. As you know a certain window for the spell is present when the planets are in alignment. We do have a little bit of time but not much. The Avatars need the straggler demons vanquished so that conflict doesn't seep back into Utopia. Then it will be up to you to decide when you are ready to make the change."
The sisters exchanged a look.
"Look…I don't think it's a good idea for us to undergo any mind alterations for quite some time," Phoebe suggested. "Our willing transformation might not be for some time to come."
"I think the Avatars can agree to that," Leo said. "Have you had any luck tracking Zankou?" Leo questioned.
"We're still working on it," Piper replied.
OP – Charmed – OP – Charmed – OP – Charmed – OP – Charmed – OP – Charmed – OP
The sisters tracked Zankou to his lair using a modified version of the tracking spell they had used on the Source. After the sisters vanquished a horde of minion demons, Zankou managed to flame-teleport away just before the sisters reached him.

"You don't want to do that," Cordelia said which caused the man she had been observing to jump in startled surprise.
Kyle Brody stood and spun to find a gorgeous woman sitting on a stool in his kitchen.
"You're the seer Cordelia," Kyle said with recognition as he slipped the black crystal back into his pocket.
"Yes…but I'm so much more than simply a seer," Cordy replied. "I know far more than a seer alone should be capable of. For example, I happen to know that you just lucked out big time. If Zankou hadn't returned you from the underworld sooner than he had you would have been down there right now as the sisters confronted him."
"Is he dead?" Kyle asked almost hopefully.
"No…he fled," Cordy mused while finding it hard to reconcile the demon Zankou with his counterpart Ardeth Bay. Ardeth was a good friend of Cordelia's husband. "Take it from someone with experience you really shouldn't make deals with demons."
Kyle realized this woman knew all about the crystal.
"I don't really have a choice. Besides…the Avatars must be stopped," Kyle replied.
"I don't really blame you. You grew up hating the Avatars. Hatred like that developed over so long a period of time is hard to change from. I must admit…your bluff was a pretty decent one," Cordy said. Kyle had just been taken by Zankou who thought Kyle had a vanquishing potion. But through a trick of temporal mechanics in what was now an obsolete timeline Kyle had lost that vanquishing potion. "But using that crystal on the sisters won't help the situation."
Zankou had given a crystal to Kyle to use to make the sisters suspicious and paranoid about the Avatar's plans.
"So what happens now…are you going to tell them?" Kyle asked.
"No. I'm not going to tell them," Cordy assured. "But you are going to disappear."
"You're going to kill me?" Kyle asked managing to keep his tone calm even though inside he felt anything but calm.
"No. You're going to move away suddenly to a different part of the world never to bother the sisters again. Zankou and his minions won't be able to find you. You won't be able to speak to anyone about our little conversation or anything to do with me. You won't be able to send anyone else to interfere with events involving the sisters," Cordelia advised.
"You aren't what the sisters think you are," Kyle surmised. "Why are you doing this?"
"My reasons are my own. Know that had I not interfered at this moment you would very shortly end up dead at the hands of another. I am saving your life. You need to take the opportunity to see what your hatred of the Avatars has done to you," Cordy said.
"Just tell me two things," Kyle requested. "Are the Avatars evil? And will their plan work out?"
Cordy was thoughtful for a time but decided to answer Kyle. It might help him move on.
"They aren't necessarily evil. But they aren't completely good either. They have a noble goal…but the method they plan to use to reach that goal is flawed as is their understanding of the future. No their plan will not work out. Now it is time to go," Cordy said.
And with that Kyle was gone. His apartment was empty without a sign he had ever been there. Prometheus had relocated Kyle and nanites controlled by the replicat would make sure every restriction Cordy had placed on Kyle was carried out. Kyle was in someplace sunny and warm with a new identity. Cordy thought with time that Kyle would have a better life, certainly better than the death his lifestyle would have resulted in.

"That confirms it then," Harry said after Meta had left his study.
Freyja sat next to him in a love-seat.
"Yes. Her library research matches with my own," Freyja agreed.
The research the two powerful females had undertaken had shown that the Avatars were definitely a gray force. The Avatars wanted an end to the conflict between good and evil but they planned to carry that out by removing any individuals that caused conflict from the world.
"They are the ultimate moderates," Harry mused.
"What a boring world it would be," Freyja suggested. "How will you handle it?"
"My counter for the Avatars is finished," Harry explained.
"What form did it end up taking?" Freyja questioned.
"This form," Harry said as he caused a hologram to appear over his palm. What looked like a tiny missile not much bigger than Harry's hand was shown. "An adequate amount of the Avatar vanquishing potion is in each warhead. The missile can track Avatars all over the world and through time."
Harry had gone back in time and collected a sample of the Avatar vanquishing potion. It had been fairly simple to reverse-reverse engineer the potion.
"So basically you'll just tell them to leave the world alone or you will wipe them out," Freyja stated.
"Yes…and if they try to move against me my allies, you, will have their fingers on the activation button," Harry added.
"A smart and simple plan," Freyja praised. "The Agent Brody you told me about will love this. Changing topics, how goes your relationship with Meta?"
"She appears to have adapted quite well to my service," Harry replied.
"She also appears to act like she is on a drug," Freyja pointed out. "Perhaps you should dial back the dosage of whatever you use to make us women so interested in you when it comes to her."
"I don't know what you are talking about," Harry said.
"I'm sure you don't," Freyja said with a knowing grin. "I love you," She added before leaning up and pecking him on the lips.
Harry's relationship with Freyja had deepened over time spent together as had his relationship with all of his women.
"I love you too," Harry assured her.
The couple just enjoyed the quiet in the eye of the storm that was their lifestyle. Quiet times were to be treasured.

Magic School
Harry entered the ritual room in Magic School with Cordelia on his arm. He glanced around the room and found the Avatars Alpha and Beta present. Gamma teleported into the room moments after Harry had arrived. The sisters and Leo were already present.
"Why is Cordelia here?" Piper asked while Phoebe waved and smiled at Cordelia.
Cordelia smiled back.
"It would appear that not all of my power as a seer has disappeared. Although I don't get nearly as many visions as I used to I still get some," Cordelia explained.
"Ok…where are you going with this?" Paige questioned.
Instead of answering directly, Cordy instead looked directly at Alpha and asked, "In your utopia what happens to people who resist the effects of the spell to stamp out discord?"
Alpha appeared hesitant to answer and glanced nervously at the sisters.
"Those who sow discord cannot be allowed to remain in utopia. They are sent to a plane of existence where they will remain in suspended animation for eternity. They won't age or die but neither will they live," Alpha explained.
"Ok…now that would have been nice to know before now," Piper said.
"You don't appear to be trying to hide that information…just omit it," Phoebe noted. "Why is that?"
"We had hoped that once you saw utopia you would be able to overlook the necessity of banishing noncomformers from utopia," Alpha admitted.
"And desire for discord would have been removed from the sisters as well," Harry pointed out.
"Eventually yes," Alpha confirmed.
That was where Zankou's plan would have worked…the sisters' mistrust of everything would have almost negated the removal of their desire for discord. The sisters exchanged a look at this revelation.
"We obviously won't be doing the spell now," Paige declared.
The three Avatars exchanged a look.
"Before you get any bright ideas," Harry said as he stepped forward. "I should inform you that I have reverse-engineered the Avatar vanquishing potion that was used in ancient times and put it into a delivery system which can track you wherever you go including through time. I have no intention of using this unless you force me to. Stay out of our way and you will be fine. My allies who you don't know about also have the means of activating the system should anything happen to me."
"You could be injured or killed by a means not of our making," Beta pointed out.
"My allies are discerning enough to tell the difference," Harry assured.
The Avatars exchanged another look.
"Very well," Alpha said. "It is obvious the world is still not ready for what we offer. We are patient." Alpha looked at Leo. "You have been physiologically enhanced with a connection to our power. We will withdraw our power. But some of the enhancements will remain. You will still be able to draw in and use great amounts of power but without the collective you will not be able to handle so much. I would estimate you would be at about 25% of your full Avatar power level now. I tell you this to show you we mean you no ill-will."
With that the three Avatars vanished.
"Well that was interesting," Cordy declared. "We should get some ice cream," Cordy said to Phoebe.
Phoebe nodded agreement and they left.

Harry watched the scene in Kyle's apartment speed past as Kyle packed all of his belongings and left. The scene was gained through a temporal scanner. Everything appeared to be above-board. Harry had checked on Kyle and found the former FBI agent in a much better frame of mind. Harry had checked Kyle telepathically for any manipulation and found none. Paige had asked Harry to check up on Kyle. She had thought Kyle's note for her telling her why he chose to leave suspicious. But everything appeared above-board.

Cordelia let out a sigh of relief as she felt Harry cease his investigation of the incident with Kyle Brody. She had been forced to employ a very special type of illusion that prevented even temporal scanning technology from seeing the truth of the matter. But luckily she possessed much greater technology than this Harry. Cordy also possessed a unique link with Harry's mind and essence which allowed her to make him ignore signs of telepathic influence in others if she needed to. This link was the same link she shared with her Ascended husband Harry. Harry had created his little experiment with seed universes where he would implant part of his divine essence into his counterparts. That spark of divinity would make his counterparts greater than they could have been alone. Harry never intended to merge with any of his counterparts, at least not for a long time. Instead he just intended to observe.
But Cordelia and her fellow wives had come up with an alternate approach. Harry's wives would enter the seed universes and essence-bond with Harry's counterparts. She and the other wives would keep their new reality bound husbands ignorant of the essence-bond. But the essence-bond would allow their Ascended husband to experience everything his reality bound counterparts experienced through his wives. Each wife that partook would have a dual essence-bond with two versions of Harry Potter. Harry would have even more wives. Cordy was sure Harry would be pleased.
Her mind flashed back to her first time with her second husband.

Cordy smiled in satisfaction at the memory. She may have her work cut out for her keeping her new husband in the dark about her true nature but the experience was worth it. She didn't want to mess up her first husband's experiment. But Cordelia sure was having fun.

Author's Note:
Before you send me a PM asking me a question read my author's profile on ff . net first. Your question might be answered already in there. Check out my Facebook group Stargatesg1fan1's Fanfiction Works and Favorites.
For those of you who ask me questions about specific Path verses I am no longer answering these in individual PMs. Instead when someone asks me about a potential Path verse I will go categorize it in a document on my Facebook group called Planned Path Verses & Other Verses. I'm simply tired of answering questions where nobody but the person who asked them can read them. Lol! I'm trying to save myself time. Multiple people are curious about the same verses.
