"What if a demon attacks while I'm out?" Piper asked before she began brushing her teeth.
"You can just ignore it," Harry suggested. "You can't save everyone. But it's best not to worry about that until it actually happens."
Paige walked into the bathroom and said, "I think we are going to have to talk to Billie soon. I'm still hearing the jingling."
Harry placed his hands on Paige's hips and pulled her towards him. He drew her into a kiss which she happily returned.
"Is that better?" Harry questioned.
"Hey…yeah…the headache is gone," Paige said happily. "So has magic school suffered any ill effects after our 'demise'?"
"I talked to Leo when he stopped down to visit with Wyatt," Piper answered. "He's still running magic school just like always. There was an increase in demons testing the wards around the school after our 'demise' but none came close to getting through."
"Magic school is in an artificial pocket dimension," Harry stated out loud.
"Ok…you don't usually spout random magical facts," Phoebe said from the doorway. "What gives?"
"I have been working on a little project for some time. Let's call it another defense for magic school. I have created a second artificial pocket dimension nearby the dimension magic school is in. In the second dimension I have crafted a false magic school," Harry explained.
"You're luring the demons into a trap," Piper surmised. "But how exactly?"
"Right now I'm just going to let the wards on the false magic school fall. None of the spells in the books there are valid. It gives us a convenient place to watch the demons from. I haven't gotten all of the sensory charms up and working yet. I'm working on it but there are some difficulties with the dark magical energy present in the place with so many demons," Harry explained.
"At least it will prevent the demons from looking for the real magic school," Paige pointed out.
"Cordelia is currently watching over the few active monitoring charms I have gotten working," Harry said.

False Magic School
Cordy watched the demon Mykel and his latest group of minion demons rampage through the false magic school enjoying their apparent capture of the institution. Cordy's interest increased when a familiar female appeared among Mykel's group. The demon known as Black Heart was the counterpart to her husband's wife Amanda Cole from the Enterprise.
"Whatever shall I do with her," Cordy mused aloud rhetorically. "There are so many possibilities. Prometheus, how go the quick enslavement protocols for this universe's version of demons?"
"They are complete Mistress Cordy," Prometheus answered. "Enslavement takes 0.3 milliseconds."
"Excellent," Cordy said with a grin. "I think we will be testing them out on Amanda's counterpart. But not quite yet. I want to see what she does with her currently free status. She seems to be content with following Mykel. But something tells me he won't be in the picture much longer."

P3…
"The power has gone out and it won't come back on. Can you help?" Piper pleaded with her boyfriend after he had transported into the dark club.
Harry could instantly tell his girlfriend was stressed. He stepped closer to her and drew her into a hug.
"It'll all work out," Harry assured in a soothing tone. "Yes I can help."
After Piper had taken a deep breath they parted from the hug but held hands. Harry led the way back to the room with the circuit breaker panel and began running scans on the power system.
"Do you know what's wrong?" Piper questioned as she saw Harry staring thoughtfully at some large electrical component.
"Yes. The transformer which steps down the line voltage into the building has burnt up. It was just too old," Harry explained. "I'm just trying to figure out the best way to install a solar panel network on your roof."
"You mean so that I won't have to pay for electricity anymore?" Piper clarified.
"Yes," Harry answered.
Piper let out a happy squeal and jumped Harry. Her legs wrapped around his hips and her mouth melded with his.
"Thank you," Piper said after the kiss had ended. "How long will it take?"
"Not long with my technology. Though, I will have to set up a ward to keep any city inspectors from nosing around too much. Usually this type of thing needs permits and approvals which I don't think you want to wait around for," Harry explained.
"Definitely not," Piper agreed.
"Alright…you just go enjoy your day at the spa," Harry told Piper. "I will take care of this."
"Are you sure you don't want me to take care of this first?" Piper asked as she pointed down to the obvious bulge Harry had developed from her mound against his groin.
"That can wait until later," Harry assured.
"If you're sure. But I will be taking care of it tonight," Piper promised with her tone turning husky.
"I look forward to it," Harry said.
Piper hopped down from the counter and sauntered out of the room with a definite sway in her hips. She glanced back to make sure Harry was appreciating the view and couldn't help but smile when she confirmed his eyes were on her butt. She heard Harry start whistling in the room behind her as many different colors of light started flashing from the other room in quick bursts that could only be magical. Piper half wished she could skip her spa day and just stay with Harry. But he had planned the spa day for her as a special treat and she would appreciate the pampering. She was really looking forward to another type of pampering later that night. As she reached her car she reflected on the many ways her life had improved since Harry's inclusion into it. He was so very good with the boys. Piper and her sisters never had to worry about being unable to fix something or unable to pay a bill. And then there was the sex. Oh god but was the sex fantastic. Piper honestly thought she was becoming addicted to physical intimacy with Harry. But she didn't feel that was a bad thing.

San Francisco…
Paige and Harry arrived invisibly in the alley where Billie was facing off against Black Heart. Black Heart managed to dodge's Billie's thrown dagger just barely and returned an energy ball which Billie also just barely managed to move out of the way of. Billie spun and rolled out of the way of several follow-up energy balls.
"You aren't very good at this whole attack thing," Billie taunted.
Black Heart fled. Harry and Paige invisibly followed Billie back to the dorm room Billie lived in on the nearby college campus. Once Billie closed the door and removed her wig the other two occupants made their presence known.
"The costume is a bit innovative," Paige informed the surprised Billie. "I'm Jo and this is Harry. And you are Billie Jenkins."
"If you just followed me here then how did you find that out so quickly?" Billie asked. "I assume you did just follow me from the fight I was just at."
"We have our ways," Harry answered. "Why is it that you decided to fight demons?"
Billie actually found this Harry to be quite attractive. She was much more willing to answer him than his companion.
"It's a real buzz," Billie said. "It beats the hell out of a video game."
"This isn't a game," Paige said. "I am your white-lighter it would seem."
"What does that mean?" Billie questioned.
"It means she is a guardian angel sent to keep you on the straight and narrow as a witch," Harry explained. "So how long have you known you were a witch?"
"Not very long," Billie admitted. "When I realized I had these powers I bought a couple of books and figured things out."
"How did you figure out how to track demons?" Paige asked.
"I can show you," Billie said as she went over to her computer. "I first figured out that all of the missing people had Alice-like names like Alicia, Alistair, Alison, Alex. I figured it had something to do with Alice in Wonderland. The victims when found were all talking crazy about mad hatters, white rabbits, and stone caterpillars. I just figured it was something demonic. It was too cool not to be."
"She's going to get herself killed with an attitude like that," Paige sent to Harry.
"If we were not here to intervene that might be the case. But we can guide her," Harry suggested.
"She might figure out who I really am," Paige suggested worriedly.
"That is doubtful. And even if she does I can spell her to secrecy," Harry put forth.
"You just want to get into her pants," Paige told her boyfriend knowingly.
"While I am not about to deny that I wouldn't enjoy such an outcome it isn't my only motivation for wanting to help guide her," Harry answered.
"I can't exactly blame you. She is quite attractive although is very young," Paige said.
"She isn't much younger than you," Harry replied.
Billie was oblivious to the silent conversation taking place as she brought her computer online.
"I input all of the information into the computer and hooked the crystal up to the GPS system. I started scrying for the demon and voila…there he was," Billie declared. "Or there she was. Are most demons chicks?"
"Rarely," Paige replied.
"Accidental technomancy," Harry said with amusement.
"Alright…you need to stay here Billie. And I will work with my sisters to handle this demon or demons," Paige said.
"Wait…you have sisters that are witches?" Billie asked with surprise.
Paige winced. She hadn't meant to reveal that.
"Just stay here. You are over your head in this case," Paige said before she orbed out.

The Manor…
"So you think this situation is just some demons trying to draw us out in order to confirm we aren't really dead?" Piper clarified after Paige had explained the situation.
"I do," Paige confirmed.
"But you know how impetuous young people can be," Phoebe pointed out. "You told Billie not to go. She's going to run right after the demon."
"That is why I am tracking her," Harry assured. "I will know the second she is in trouble."
"He wants in her pants," Piper noted.
"He does," Paige confirmed.
"Is this a complaint?" Harry asked.
"No complaints," Phoebe assured. "Just observations," Phoebe explained. "We know you pretty well by now."
"I should hope so," Harry said. "Billie is in trouble. She is in the sewer system below where she fought that last demon."
"Let's go kick some demonic ass," Paige said as she fingered the belt which held vials of vanquishing potions magically concealed.
"Who is going in invisible this time?" Piper questioned.
"Me," Phoebe answered.
Phoebe and Harry turned invisible. Then the entire group left.

The sewers…
The sisters and Harry reappeared to find two demons standing nearby Billie. Billie appeared to be in some kind of trance. One of the demons was the female Paige had found Billie fighting earlier. The second demon was Mykel. The female demon burned up after taking a vanquishing potion to the face. This knocked Mykel out of the magical trance he was holding Billie within.
"You killed her," Mykel screamed in rage as he stood and tried summoning an energy ball.
"You should have taken Harry's warning and stayed out of the city," Piper replied while hitting Mykel with her blasting power.
Phoebe's dagger sprouted from the side of Mykel's neck. He died messily. Billie woke up to see this whole scene.
"It's true…there are three of you," Billie said as she stood and approached the sisters. "You're the Charmed Ones! But the papers said you died."
"You have promise," Piper said. "But I think maybe Harry should wipe your memories about us."
"I won't tell anybody," Billie promised.
"And why would you make such a promise?" Piper questioned.
"I want you to train me in magic. I can take care of the demons you don't want to handle. I assume that is why you faked your deaths," Billie said.
Piper shared a look with her sisters and her boyfriend.
"Harry will spell you to silence on our identities instead of taking your memory. But we are warning you now…don't betray us," Piper warned. "You won't like the consequences if you do."
"I won't," Billie agreed.
"Come with us and I will show you were you will be receiving training," Paige said as she held out her hand to Billie.
Billie took Paige's hand and felt her life would forever change after that moment.

Black Heart looked around the dark chamber she had appeared within. The pain of vanquishing had been intense. She thought it would never stop. She didn't know where she was now.
"No you aren't in the after-life or the demonic wasteland," Cordelia said as she dropped her invisibility and let Black Heart see her.
"Where am I?" Black Heart asked.
"You are in a holding cell where you will be re-educated to serve myself and my mate. I saved you from vanquishing," Cordy explained.
"And if I don't want to serve," Black Heart prompted.
"I can make you. But I prefer you following me without too much coercion," Cordy said.
Black Heart wasn't a complete fool. This woman had been powerful enough to pull Black Heart here mid-vanquish and to stop the vanquishing process. Whatever this woman was she was probably at least as powerful as most of the ancient gods.
"How may I serve you mistress?" Black Heart questioned.
"From now on you will be known as Blamanda," Cordy stated. "Let the re-education begin."

October 9th 2005, Halliwell Manor
The house shook with the vibrations and sound of an explosion. Harry relocated to the attic via teleportation where he found Billie lying on her ass and coughing. He immediately reached down and pulled her to her feet while scanning her for any injuries.
"You seem to be alright. Your magic protected you instinctually," Harry informed Billie.
"Thanks," Billie said as she enjoyed being in the arms of such a hunk.
"Are you ok?" Paige asked as she came running into the attic.
"Yeah. I was just reading like you told me to and then boom," Billie explained.
"You read the spell out loud but you didn't enunciate," Paige quickly realized.
"Oops," Billie said. "Lesson learned," She said. "What do I learn next?"
"First you need to clean up this mess and then we will see about you learning more magic," Paige said.
"Can't you just cast a spell to make it pick itself up?" Billie questioned.
"Do you want to explain personal gain to her?" Paige asked her boyfriend.
Harry nodded and explained, "The Elders created these magical spirits that police witches who cast spells for personal gain. Not all that long ago I finally detected these magical spirits and learned that black magic repels the spirits or outright destroys them. I have warded certain locations to keep the spirits out. This house and my house are those locations."
"But why would the Elders do that? I thought you said they were kind of the good guys," Billie said.
"That's where the kind-of part comes in," Paige replied. "They want to keep witches from turning bad and self-serving so they discourage all self-serving magic. They're pretty manipulative."
"I can see why you and your sisters are no longer on the best of terms with them," Billie said.
"That is just one among many reasons," Paige said.
"At least there is Leo," Billie pointed out. "He doesn't seem so bad."
"No he isn't," Paige agreed. "And there are other fairly decent Elders. I'm not saying the group as a whole is all bad. But some of the decisions they make are not ones my sisters and I would make."
Paige quietly chanted a spell and the objects out of place flew back to their correct spots.
"Wicked," Billie exclaimed.
Paige managed to suppress a small smile.
"Yes magic can be cool. But it also has a dangerous and deadly side. Now you must learn not to read aloud. You need to clearly enunciate spells. I have some things I need to do downstairs," Paige explained. "Can you keep an eye on her?" Paige asked her boyfriend.
"I'll keep two on her," Harry said with a smirk.
Inwardly Billie was pleased to hear that.
"I'll bet you will," Paige sent to her boyfriend knowing he would pick up the projected thoughts.
Paige nodded and left the attic.
"Why is it that all of the magic I have watched the sisters do involved chanting spells yet your spells don't involve words at all?" Billie asked Harry curiously.
"I'm a bit different. Stick around long enough and maybe I'll tell you why," Harry said mysteriously.
Billie found the response intriguing but understood she wouldn't be getting a clear answer anytime soon.

Outdoor Café, Downtown San Francisco
"This is nice," Piper declared. "A nice normal lunch with my family. No demons and no drama."
Prue and Patty were watching the boys.
"Careful sis…you might jinx us," Phoebe teased.
"I think maybe it's too late for that," Harry said as he nodded towards a man pointing a gun at Piper.
The man was wearing a police issue Kevlar vest and was backed up by several other officers also aiming guns at Piper. Harry read the man's name as Inspector Parker.
"Maya Holmes, this is the police," Inspector Parker called. "Stand up and put your hands on your head."
"I think they are talking to you," Paige told Piper in confusion.
Piper raised her hands. Harry flicked his fingers under the table which caused all of the bullets to disappear from the chambers of every gun pointed at his girlfriend. Harry didn't want any accidental misfires happening.
"Harry," Piper said worriedly.
"It's alright, love," Harry assured. "We will get this straightened out. Just stand up and go with them."
Piper stood with her hands on her head. Inspector Parker approached and brought Piper's hands together behind her back.
"Maya Holmes you are under arrest for the murder of…," Inspector Parker began to say before reading the Miranda rights.
"I'll be going with Piper through the booking process. I have just made myself invisible to all but you three," Harry sent to the sisters.
Harry followed Piper to the squad car they put her in the back of and rode with her the entire way. The officers never noticed him. It didn't take long for Phoebe and Paige to get a visitation setup with Piper.

Visitation Room
"You do not look good in that jumpsuit," Paige told her sister when Piper and Harry walked in.
Piper glared at Paige.
"How did you choose this disguise?" Phoebe questioned Piper.
"I'm having trouble remembering," Piper admitted. "Can you help with that Harry?"
All three ladies knew their boyfriend was a very skilled telepath.
"I'll give you a hint," Harry said. "Magazine."
"That's it! I saw it in a magazine that one of you left laying around the house," Piper explained. "I don't remember which one though."
"We might be able to use that picture to scry for the real Maya Holmes," Phoebe suggested.
"Why don't you just replace Piper with a hologram?" Paige questioned Harry.
"I could do that," Harry confirmed. "But jail is an interesting experience for Piper."
"That isn't funny," Piper said when she saw Harry's smirk.
"Oh come on…if it gets too uncomfortable I will of course use a hologram. But you don't seem to be too bad off right now," Harry said.
"I will admit it isn't that bad with Harry right beside me," Piper admitted. "I'll stick here in case anything unexpected comes up…for now."
"Ok…Paige and I will go home and search for that magazine," Phoebe said.
"We will have you out of that horrid color in no time," Paige told her sister.

Piper was escorted back to a cell with another prisoner named Jax.
"I was supposed to be alone," Piper sent in mild alarm at her boyfriend.
"I've taught you how to defend yourself fairly well physically by this point," Harry said.
"What are you smiling at?" Jax demanded of Piper.
Jax was a tall rough looking blonde woman.
"I wasn't smiling," Piper said.
That was all Piper said as she went and sat down at the opposite end of the bench in the cell from Jax. Jax left it alone not wanting to start anything at the moment.
"Ok…I have any TV show or movie you want available and you can access the internet. I'll project a hologram that only you can see and hear. Interface with the internet by thinking what you want," Harry sent.
"This might not be such a bad stay," Piper admitted.
When the uncomfortable bench beneath Piper turned into a comfortable cushioned surface hidden under an illusion things started looking up for Piper.

Piper hadn't been sitting idle for long when Officer Goehl returned. Officer Goehl was a female officer.
"Holmes, you have a visitor," Goehl said as she opened the cell door.
Piper rose and followed Goehl.
"That didn't take Phoebe and Paige long," Piper said. "Though I assumed that they would have just contacted me through you the second time to make the exchange."
"It isn't your sisters," Harry said as he followed along with Piper to the visitation room.
When they entered the room the couple spotted an older man in a business suit.
"Hello Maya," Walter Nance greeted.
"His name is Walter Nance," Harry sent to Piper.
"Good to see you," Nance added.
"He's a prosecutor," Harry added.
"What is it that you want?" Piper questioned.
"I just wanted to see you again…in private," Nance said. Nance looked like he had taken too many Botox treatments. "Did you really think you would get away with it? You can't run from the law. You can't run from me."
"I guess I did," Piper replied thinking it was obvious that Maya had thought she could get away with it otherwise Maya wouldn't have left.
"What did I ever do to you Maya?" Nance asked. "What did I ever do to deserve this?"
"Why don't you tell me," Piper replied to get him to reveal more.
"I offered you the world," Nance said. "I gave you everything I could. Then you just threw it back in my face. What did you expect…that I would just let you get away with it?"
"It was time for me to move on," Piper tried.
"No…it wasn't time. It wasn't time at all," Nance insisted. "Not until I said so," He added. "I warned you not to mess with me…didn't I. I told you what would happen if you left me for that…that photographer. What is it that you saw in him that he could have given you that I couldn't? Just youth?"
"Well it didn't hurt," Piper said as she realized more and more what was going on here.
"Yeah it did…it hurt a lot," Nance rebutted. "It cost him his life, didn't it. And now I'm going to see to it that it cost you yours."
"It was you," Piper said with realization. "It wasn't her at all."
"What kind of game are you playing now?" Nance demanded.
"Wouldn't you like to know," Piper replied taking a page out of her boyfriend's book by playing mysterious.
"You don't have anything on me," Nance insisted. "You wouldn't have gotten caught if you did."
"Or maybe I got caught to reveal what I have on you," Piper suggested. "I'll see you in court."
Nance leaned down and said, "It won't get that far, Maya."
Piper focused her abilities which she had been working on with Harry for some time. She cast a delayed blasting spell at Nance. Nance walked out of the room.
"Wait for it," Piper said.
"Aieeeeeee!" Nance screamed as the low-level delayed blasting spell caused one of Nance's testicles to explode.
"You are awesome," Harry told his girlfriend.
"Oh yeah," Piper agreed with a grin.

Halliwell Manor
Harry arrived with Piper. A holographic replacement was temporarily being used in place of Piper.
"Ok…so Harry says you don't want to leave yet. Why?" Phoebe asked her sister.
"Nance basically admitted to killing the photographer. He framed Maya," Piper explained.
"Can we vanquish him?" Billie questioned.
"We don't usually vanquish humans," Piper explained.
"Billie, maybe you should just go upstairs and study," Paige suggested.
"This is valuable experience for her," Harry sent to the sisters as Billie verbally protested.
"On second thought you can stay. You might need the training," Paige said.
Harry looked off into the distance before announcing, "Nance is having Maya released."
"That isn't good. He must be planning for Maya to have an accident so she can't reveal what he thinks she has on him," Piper said. "Did you guys find Maya?"
"Yes. But we weren't sure what to do with her so we haven't moved on her yet," Phoebe explained.
"Well bring her back here and find out if she does actually have something on Nance which she was too afraid to use on him," Piper urged. "I'll return and play along for now."

Nance's Penthouse
"Not so cocky now are you, Maya," Nance said as soon as he entered his penthouse with Maya in front of him.
"You are such a tool," Piper replied.
"What did you call me?" Nance demanded while advancing on Piper with his fist raised to strike her.
When the blow came, Piper deflected it and delivered a shot to Nance's floating ribs backed by a tiny amount of her blasting power. Nance was flung backwards into the back of his couch with enough force to knock the wind out of him. He lay there gasping for breath.
"I am going to leave now. You might want to think about turning yourself in and confessing to murdering Nathaniel. Otherwise I might have to return. I won't play so nice next time," Piper declared.
Nathaniel was the name of the photographer Nance had murdered. Piper stood and left the penthouse. She didn't bother watching her back because she knew Harry was already watching it.

Nance's Penthouse…
Piper used a micro-sized application of her blasting power to destroy the locking mechanism on the door to Nance's penthouse. She found the crooked prosecutor sitting in a chair with a bandaged up crotch nursing a drink, whiskey if Piper had to guess. Nance looked mildly relaxed unlike the last time she had seen him. He hadn't been wearing something the last time that would have shown the bandaging. But perhaps tossing him around the last time had torn up the wound from where she had destroyed one of his testicles previously.
"Are you ready to confess?" Piper asked while looking like Maya.
The real Maya had been questioned. Maya had nothing on Nance.
"You made a big mistake in coming back here," Nance informed Piper. "I have too much power to go to jail. And I can make you disappear."
Piper walked over to stand in front of Nance so that she was facing him clearly.
"I have powers you couldn't ever hope to match," Piper said as she gestured at a statue in the corner and caused it to explode.
Nance winced momentarily and said with realization, "It was you! You did this to me." Nance gestured at his crotch. "You are going to pay for this bitch."
"Why are you so confident?" Piper asked. Something felt wrong. "Even you can't be this dumb."
"Tragically you are about to commit suicide," Nance said.
Suicide was a trigger word for the mercenaries Nance had hired. Suddenly a 5.56 round from an AR-15 tore through what looked like a section of wall that looked like normal drywall. But the round which had been meant for Piper's head was stopped a foot from the wall flattened against an invisible barrier. Billie could be heard shouting in surprise. Nance looked enraged. A second shot came from a different section of drywall. This time the round made it closer to Piper but was stopped a few inches from Piper's head. An energy shield flared up around Piper's head. The shot ricocheted down into Nance's leg. Nance cried out in agony and clutched his leg. Harry became visible as multiple shots came raining into the room aiming at Piper. Piper flinched and threw her arms up around her head. Bullets ricocheted off Piper's arms and went into Nance's chest. Nance died from a shot to the heart.
Harry gestured and telekinetically sent two ricochets into the foreheads of the mercenaries firing the rifles. Phoebe, Paige, and Billie became visible as they dropped their cloaking spells.
"What just happened?" Piper demanded in alarm as she tried to hear over the ringing in her ears.
"They tried shooting you," Phoebe said.
"And hit me," Billie added.
"Now I see why you always insist on us wearing the body armor you gave us," Paige told her boyfriend.
"Did that armor stop the bullets?" Billie asked.
"Yes. An energy barrier protected your head. You were in the line of sight to Piper though the shooter didn't know that," Harry explained.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," Billie said as she threw her arms around Harry and hugged him tightly. "I'm too young to die."
"Yes…thank you," Piper said after Billie had released him.
Piper stepped up and pulled her boyfriend into a kiss to convey her thanks. The kiss promised a physical reward later.
"What do we do about him?" Phoebe questioned.
"We won't be able to clear Maya's name now," Paige added.
"I'll remove any hint of our presence from the place," Harry said. "We'll just leave them like this. I will make sure during the course of the investigation that all of Nance's crooked dealings are uncovered. I can make sure Maya's name is cleared."
Piper looked at Nance's corpse and said, "This is kind of poetic justice in a way. He died on his own sword."
"Totally," Billie agreed.
"Let's go home," Phoebe urged.
After Harry cast some arcane energy about he and the ladies left. None of them had noticed another invisible watcher in the room.
"I'm glad I was out of phase as well as invisible or one of those bullets might have revealed my presence," Cordy told Prometheus.
"Indeed," Prometheus agreed.
"Are the endurance changes in Harry's lovers all in place?" Cordy questioned.
"Yes," Prometheus confirmed.
"Good. If it hadn't been for that armor then the changes would have been tested," Cordy noted.
Cordy and her first husband's other wives had decided that in Seed universes the wives of their second husbands would enjoy all abilities that granted above human levels of endurance. But the endurance would also be hidden. Small things like cuts would be allowed to remain though would heal slightly faster than a cut in a human. Anything life threatening would heal but the woman injured would just have to wonder why the rapid healing had occurred. There was only so much that could be done to hide the upgrades. Cordy didn't stay much longer in the penthouse before she followed her second husband.

October 30th 2005
"Using Agent Murphy's method of returning to life for the public's benefit may not have been the best way. We should have used Harry's way," Piper said as she carved a pumpkin at the kitchen table.
The previous week Agent Murphy of Homeland Security had observed Billie save an innocent using her magic. Murphy was part of a small number of Homeland Security agents who had suspected the truth about the supernatural for some time. Murphy had asked for the sisters to help with magical cases. Murphy had told the media that the sisters had been working undercover for Homeland Security in a special case which is why they had faked their deaths. Since then the media had been pretty persistent in trying to figure out what was so special about the sisters. Indeed the front page headline of The Bay Mirror was What's the Big Secret? A picture of the sisters was shown on the front page.
"At least they picked a good picture," Billie pointed out as she and Paige examined the newspaper.
"I can handle the press," Harry offered.
"You wanted us to learn to deal with issues on our own. You are our backup," Piper said. "We aren't to the point of using our backup yet. I'm sorry. I'm just venting."
"No need to apologize," Harry assured before stealing a kiss from Piper.
Billie watched the two lovers kissing and wished she had that. If she was honest with herself she wished she had him.
"Paige, I have been tracking a demon. I was wondering if you would be my backup when I vanquish this demon," Billie said.
"Actually let's divide and conquer. Harry can watch your back while I work on dealing with the reporters," Paige suggested. "Have fun watching her backside, lover," Paige sent to her boyfriend with a mental smirk.
"You are so wonderful," Harry sent back to Paige.
Just then the doorbell rang.
"Trick-or-Treaters?" Paige suggested.
"No. It's a horde of reporters," Harry reported. He walked over to the doorbell on the wall in the entry hall and disconnected it. "That will only be a short-term solution."
"It still helps," Piper said gratefully.

Harry was again sitting next to Piper as she prepared for Halloween. Or rather, a version of Harry was sitting next to her. There were other versions of him elsewhere too.
"What are you doing with all of those candies?" Paige asked.
"I am organizing the candy into separate bowls for chocolate, no nuts, and sugar free," Piper explained.
"And I am enchanting all of the candy so that it doesn't harm any of the kids. Seriously…some of the stuff they put in these candies is toxic. Obesity is going to become a major problem in the U.S. in the coming years and we don't need to be contributing to it," Harry explained. "That isn't even mentioning diabetes."
"You two sound like you are taking a little bit of the fun out of it," Paige suggested. "Anyway, I have an idea. The reporter that is leading the charge on this situation works at Phoebe's paper. I was thinking she could convince him we are completely uninteresting."
"I'm sorry honey but that won't work," Harry assured Paige. "If you want my opinion about a similar style of plan you could just ignore them and show them that they don't bother you. If you do that long enough then they will just go away eventually."
"Yes but the problem with that plan is that they might see something magical along the way," Piper pointed out.
"But when that happens with a neighbor I just memory charm them for you," Harry replied. "I could do the same with the reporters."
"Well we will go with that for the working plan right now. But try to come up with something better if you can," Piper told her sister.

Underworld
Billie walked down the tunnel towards a large cavern where the demon she had been tracking was located. She was wearing sexy black leather to blend in with the demons but it also had the added benefit of showing off her assets. She walked confidently knowing she had the most powerful magical being she had heard of watching her back. She felt his eyes on her butt. Billie startled a sentry demon.
"Who goes there," The Sentry challenged.
Billie walked up and after putting her finger on his lip said, "Shh…I don't want them to hear."
"Hear what?" The Sentry asked.
"This," Billie said while stabbing him with her dagger and covering his mouth with her palm. "Ow," Billie yelped as she was burned by his vanquishing fire.
"Remind me to teach you a stunning potion," Harry sent to Billie as he took her hand.
Harry channeled healing magic into Billie's palm.
"Thank you," Billie whispered, still not quite used to the intimacy of mental communication.
Billie peered into the cavern and saw two demons conversing. One of the demons looked like a pretty regular looking guy but the second demon was Asian in appearance and wore a mask covering half of his face. Their names were Tomar and The Dogan respectively.
"Do you know where to find him?" The Dogan asked Tomar.
"Stelutories East Market," Tomar answered. "He preys in alleys."
"Don't they all," The Dogan said as he whipped his cloak around and turned to face his right.
Billie gasped and drew back in alarm. Harry stepped closer to her and saw that she was experiencing a flashback to a subconscious memory. She dropped her potions vials as she came out of the memory.
"What was that?" The Dogan asked.
Harry wrapped an arm around Billie's waist and drew her to his side while summoning the potions to his hand. He took her out of there before The Dogan could show up.

Harry and Billie appeared in his study.
"I've never been here before. Where are we?" Billie asked.
"My study in my house," Harry said. "Have a seat," He invited while gesturing at a pair of comfortable chairs. Billie sat and Harry sat beside her. "Do you know what just happened?"
"I'm not sure. Something about that demon just made me freeze. It was like déjà vu or something," Billie answered.
"I think it was a latent memory of some traumatic event from your past. Is there anything as far as a major trauma that happened to you during your childhood?" Harry questioned.
Billie picked nervously at her outfit. Harry could tell she didn't want to talk about this.
Finally Billie said, "I'll tell you if you tell me something."
"What is it you want to know?" Harry questioned.
"What's the deal with you and the sisters? I mean I know you are dating all of them at once but why are they fine with that?" Billie questioned.
Harry stared thoughtfully at Billie for several moments before he explained, "They weren't all fine with it at first. I was with Patty and Prue first. Piper was the first to agree to date me but it took a lot of sexual tension and a lot of heartache for her to reach the point of accepting everything. Phoebe wasn't long after. Paige took the longest. You will understand if you date enough men. I'm not like other men. I can satisfy many women at once and I don't just mean sexually. I am able to be in multiple places at once. Right now when I'm talking to you other versions of me are with Piper, Paige, and Patty."
"How is that possible?" Billie asked.
"It's a mixture of magic and technology," Harry said. "Any more detail than that is only granted to my girlfriends. I answered your question. How about you answer mine?"
Billie thought that his answer had generated more questions but she acknowledged that he had answered her question.
"When I was very young I had a sister Christy. She was abducted. I don't really remember the details. My parents don't talk about her despite how much I have asked," Billie explained.
"Perhaps you do remember more than you think on a subconscious level. This could be a suppressed memory trying to resurface," Harry suggested.
"Well what do I do about it?" Billie asked. "I can't keep freezing like that."
"No you can't," Harry agreed. "If being around the demon Dogan triggers the emergence of your memory then that could help you. I have a suggestion. You can go confront Dogan but I will be right there ready to pull you out if things get too dicey. I will have to keep physical contact with you to pull you out quick."
"You can hold onto my hips," Billie suggested.
Harry thought there were far more practical places for him to hold onto but he wasn't going to bring those up.
"Alright," Harry agreed.
"Just let me do another tracking spell on him and we can go," Billie said.
"You can use my magic lab," Harry said.
Billie stood as Harry stood and followed him out of the study and down a hallway to another room. She entered the room behind him to find a lab room filled with all kinds of magical equipment in fantastic condition.
"Wicked," Billie declared.

Billie walked down the alley feeling comforted by the fact that Harry's hands gripped her hips from behind.
"Come on Dogan. I know you are here," Billie called out.
The Dogan and Tomar became visible.
"You are a cocky little witch," Dogan said. "Or foolish," He added.
"Not foolish," Billie said. "Confident."
"Kill her," Tomar cried.
Dogan held up his claw-tipped left hand and said, "Not yet." Harry sensed as another latent memory was triggered for Billie. He prepared to throw up a shield if it proved necessary. "Why is it you are so confident?"
When Billie didn't respond Dogan summoned the potions vials Billie was holding.
"What is wrong with her?" Tomar asked.
Dogan didn't respond verbally but threw the vials at Billie just as she came back to herself. Harry took Billie out of there.

As soon as they arrived back in Harry's study Billie turned and threw her arms around Harry.
"Thank you," Billie said. "I think it worked. I saw a clawed hand like the Dogan's ripping through the roof of my room as a child."
"Good," Harry said. "And no problem. Helping beautiful young women is something I enjoy doing."
Billie drew back slowly from the hug. She had enjoyed the physical contact and the compliment. She could feel the sensual tension between them.
"We should do that again so that I can remember more," Billie suggested.
"Let's wait a little while. If there are too many confrontations he might twig to the fact that you are using him to trigger memories," Harry pointed out. "Until then how about I give you a tour around my home. You can meet Prue and Patty too."
"I'd like that," Billie agreed.

Phoebe's Bedroom…
Harry materialized in Phoebe's bedroom to find her lying on her bed reading a book.
"So why have you been avoiding me," Harry asked after taking a second to look around.
Phoebe jumped with a startled expression.
"I didn't hear you come in," Phoebe said. She paused to formulate her response. "I haven't been avoiding you." At Harry's look she added, "Ok…maybe a little." She patted the bed beside her and said, "Come here."
Harry sat on the bed and scooted up next to Phoebe. She put her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her.
"So what's up?" Harry asked.
"I haven't known how to tell you this and I have been a little confused," Phoebe explained. "I think I am pregnant."
Harry laid his hand on Phoebe's belly and his hand glowed pink.
"You are," Harry confirmed.
"How do you feel about that?" Phoebe asked.
"I'm overjoyed," Harry said with a grin.
Phoebe turned to look at him and smiled when she saw his smile.
"I'm still confused. We were using that magical birth control spell you told me about," Phoebe said.
"Yeah…but I also told you that spell only works as long as one of the two people aren't ready for the child or want the child. We both must have been ready even if we didn't consciously think about that," Harry explained. "I love you. You've told me many times how you love me. We've talked about children. We weren't planning on having them quite this soon but we were both alright with it."
"I guess I can see that," Phoebe said. "Does the color your hand glowed have any significance?"
"Blue for boys and pink for girls," Harry answered. "We're going to have a little girl."
Phoebe squealed with joy and hugged her boyfriend tightly.
"That is so amazing," Phoebe said.
"Next time just come and tell me what is bothering you. Worrying over nothing is never good," Harry said.
"I will," Phoebe said. "Just hold me to celebrate." After a few minutes of silence Phoebe said, "I'm going to get hideously fat. You aren't going to want me then."
"I think pregnancy is beautiful," Harry assured. "Didn't Piper tell you how I was with her?"
"All she was you had interesting views on pregnancy. She did not elaborate," Phoebe answered. "But she was smiling when she said it."
"Well you have no worries there," Harry assured.
Harry was considering releasing the spell which hid the identities of Prue and Patty from the sisters. Harry had been considering doing so for some time now. He had even discussed it with Prue and Patty. Both wanted their family to know they were alive. But Harry wasn't sure how the sisters would react to knowing he was with their mother too. Prue had tried to reassure Harry but she had gotten used to the knowledge. Harry decided as he felt Phoebe drift off to sleep that he would worry about that issue later. For now he would just enjoy being with the woman he loved.

Billie snuck up on The Dogan and Tomar as the two demons stood in an alley apparently waiting for another demon.
"Maybe that witch is scaring Treska off," Tomar suggested.
"She has been making a nuisance of herself. I'll have to kill her the next time she shows up," Dogan said.
Billie smirked from beneath the safety of an invisibility spell. She wasn't quite up to casting such a powerful spell herself but with Harry holding onto her hips again she was perfectly hidden. She clutched two potions vials in her hands. A vial was meant for each demon. The Dogan had been stealing the powers from other demons so required an especially powerful vial of potion. Billie waited until she was two feet away from the Dogan before throwing the vial into the Dogan's open mouth as the demon spoke. The demon died messily. Tomar was hit in the chest with the second vial. He also died messily.
Harry allowed the invisibility spell to drop.
"Nice work," Harry praised.
"Thanks. I'm glad you made me do the target practicing," Billie said.
Billie had finally remembered what had happened to her sister Christy. Christy had been abducted by a demon of the same breed as The Dogan. It was safe to assume that Christy was a witch too.
"No problem," Harry said. "At least you have stopped freezing up."
"Yes…now I need to find my sister," Billie said.
"You will have my help and that of the sisters. You will find her," Harry said.
"You sound so confident. How can you know for sure?" Billie asked.
"I have a strong feeling. My feelings are pretty often right," Harry assured.
His confidence and words made Billie feel better. She would find her sister.

Outside Halliwell Manor…
Paige stood in the disguise of a reporter using a charm to appear as who she wanted to be.
She closed her phone as if a call had just ended.
"Well it looks like that is it here for me," Paige told Violet.
Violet was the woman Paige had been talking with. Violet was a reporter for the Sun Times.
"Why is that?" Violet asked. "Are you being pulled off the story?"
"My editor says there is no story," Paige explained. "At least no story we can print," She added. "This is unofficial but my editor says that there was a terrorist group using stolen artwork to fund their activities. Several of the pieces that were the most valuable belonged to the Halliwell family early back. The sisters were brought in to consult on the case. Their deaths were faked because the terrorists were targeting them. But this is all under national security."
"Makes sense," Violet mused. "I better call my editor and get taken off the case."
"See you later," Paige said before she left. When Paige was far enough away from the manor she orbed back inside and looked out the window. "Gotcha," Paige declared with a grin as she noticed the reporters slowly leaving.
"That was very clever," Harry complimented his girlfriend.
"It definitely was," Paige agreed as she turned to face her boyfriend.
"I had faith you would deal with it yourself," Harry said as Paige wrapped her arms around his neck and drew closer.
"You did didn't you," Paige mused before kissing him sweetly.
