Saving My Family
Disclaimers: The show and characters don't belong to me, the story belongs to me everything else belongs to the creator and the movie company.
Warning: With this chapter they start getting everything they need to get the house ready now. As they begin work on the house and and things are quiet till Look Who's Barking starts. Each episode is going to stay the same, but there's going to be a couple changes to it and Prue is alive for seasons four through eight as she trains her sister. Phoebe grows closer to Drake and there's a few references to the Twilight Saga for Phoebe and Drake in this story.
But from here the rest of the series is reimagined with Andy and Prue alive, Chris living with them now and Drake part of the family from this point forward. Till the final battle as they prepare for Chris and Wyatt's birthdays and season's five through eight remain the same, but Chris's identity is known by the entire family.
Also there is going to be a lot of Phoebe bashing do to her being very clingy and controlling till the trio all say to stay out of their personal business. As the rant that Max gave Goofy comes into this as well…..
Chapter 22: Cruel Truths And Future Reprimands
"And Kit was my familiar, before you got a kitten copy of her." he said and they nodded smiling. "Well that explains things, Rasputin was your Grams's familiar, he left, if you guys were still in single digits. When you were 7, as your mother and Penny bound your powers for 10 years in the witch powers, Kit was around till you're 18 and then moved to another family. And we got a baby her to take her place right now." Leo said suggesting it then and Piper nodded then.
"Those comedy clips, the kitten was screaming after being told he can't chew on whatever it was." he explained to Paige and his father and they nodded as she started laughing at that response as he answered him. "Well that's one way to get levity into this conversation, but turn that off, before your brother joins in, after conjuring the dragon right out of the tv." Leo said with a chuckle and Piper nodded in agreement with an amused smile at that remark then gently.
"To answer the other question I am, we chose our colors when we were 6 after the power rangers came out, but if we were born in 1988. Then it's we're cubs from 1993 to 2000, teenagers from 2000 to now." he said and she nodded with a chuckle. "And 4 years left of school, before you graduate in 2007 now, and starting college. And during the 2007 to 2008 school year, okay we understand, as for your recommendation after two attacks in 24 hours."
"Yeah you're right, we're not taking chances, but whatever your plan is we go with your idea." she said and Leo nodded in agreement then. "Paige you're closest in range, so with Wyatt still too young, we need you with Chris, they need an adult in the house. Being as he doesn't have a drivers license, as of yet." Leo said and she nodded smiling then. "Piper, you are not serious." Phoebe said and she crossed her arms. "My family, not your's." she said sternly and she paled.
"And with that, ahh here it is, the binding potion, we mix this into his apple juice and his power witch powers are bound till he's 10 years old and he, Eric and I learn to be whitelighters first. Before we become full time witches now, and Mellie with us." he said, writing down the ingredients and passed it to Piper and she nodded. "That's the binding potion we nearly used on baby Source, before we killed the Seer." she said and he nodded and she nodded sternly then.
"Got it, we bind his witch powers till he can use them responsibly and we have him just using his whitelighter, and you, Eric and Paige protect him when Leo and I need a night out." she said and Chris nodded to the decision. "Agreed we do that then, we're binding his witch powers till he's 10, in the mean time he's growing up a whitelighter, as I train the boys. While Mellie is a full time witch, the boys are witchlighters, like your sister." Leo said and she nodded, smiling.
"Piper wait a second this is a bad idea." Phoebe said and she crossed her arms. "To you this is a bad idea, but to me, this makes more sense then, as the future is still my main concern. Just what caused things to go to heck in 3 to 16 years exactly hmm, could it be, because of you. Is it because of when we shot ourselves forward 10 years, we see what one little act of revenge. Now results in, or is it that you fully embraced being the queen." she said and Phoebe went white.
"Hear these words, hear my cry spirit from the other side, come to me, I summon thee, cross now the great divide!" Chris shouted out and his grandmother appeared. "Hey Grandma." he said and she smiled. "You're my grandson as a teenager?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah we decided to go with Grams's idea now of binding Wyatt's witch powers here. But had a debate of public interest, if you felt the memories come forward, she's beyond irritated at the changes."
"But Mom, we got a debate of public interest going here, but despite Chris suggesting we bind Wyatt's witch powers, but Phoebe is refusing to hear right now. So with that, you and Grams better handle this, it's Cole all over again right now. Right after Paige was proven right and she's taking it out on Chris this time." Piper said and she nodded sternly at the news then. "Young lady, your grandmother bound your's, but she was afraid of you using your powers in school."
"And doing something we can't undo, how many more dragons or what not will it take?" she asked sternly and they went white at that. "The past is the future, the future the past, reveals shadows of what was past, for the next generation for all to see. Bring them forth, so mote it be!" Piper shouted out and they saw her as a teenager and Wyatt sat there, arms crossed and Piper hid a smile. "See even he sees this as his powers are trouble." Leo said and she nodded.
"Buddy after the big lizard, you realized the men in white were dangerous, if we don't tie your witchy magic up?" he asked and he nodded and the trio nodded. "That's a yes, he realized this keeps up, it's getting him in trouble with the misuse of magics department." Chris said and Piper nodded. "So you just want to keep using your white light power, so you can white light to another room, or your blue orb to protect yourself?" she asked and he gave a second nod.
"Yeah alright, but witchy power blocking juice is mixed in with your apple now, okay, for this, just one dose and then normal apple juice after that." she said and he smiled. "The attacks slow down, we can live a semi normal life after this, but this is not up for debate. Chris has good point right now, but the subject is closed." she said sternly and she started shaking. "Piper, this is a bad idea." she said and Chris swung his hand up as he said it sternly at that with a growl.
"Again, you are not my and Wyatt's mother, so but out." he said in disgust, at her attitude, and they both realized it then, they were branching off from her and Paige. "And while I'm at it, why are you so determined to keep his witch powers unbound, what's your angle here." he said, leaning against the playpen, as Wyatt pulled himself into a standing position. As he stood behind him and Leo nodded, knowing he was going into big brother mode with Wyatt at that response.
"Really what's your angle, I'm a soldier, cadet, we're trained to see anything we don't understand as a threat, Dad and I don't understand why you conjured David. Is this really for mom, or is this so you can rejoin the underworld, once again destroying mom emotionally. While taking my brother with you." he said and she went white in shock. "Ouch, yeah good point son, that's very good point, Phoebe, what's your angle." Leo said sternly and she swallowed hard.
"I don't have an angle!" she said in shock and he nodded. "Yeah sure, so it's not any wonder why you decided to have created that thing yesterday. Directly after mom said she's stopped dating other men, because dad's always around right now. I'm in the bedroom with her and we're talking right now, over it, she tells me the very same thing. As I get ready to tell her the truth, my birthday present to her was getting her and dad back together, as I go to him now."
"An attack last night now, she understands, not friend, but the best friend/baby brother/son, is there being her confident, she tells me to talk to dad, and then we see her and Dave get back. And directly after I went to look into it, before the second attack hit and now mom's thinking we should bind his powers, giving her a semi normal life. Me and dad with her and you refuse, but did the buzzard impersonating Darryl not make a point?" he asked and Leo crossed his arms.
"Young lady, maybe we should bind your powers right now, because for everyone's safety, this would have prevented everything the last 3 years. Paige you saw the other world, Cole killed you and the demons are running amok, so answer this, what happens if we bind his powers. At this age, and he doesn't get them back till he's 11, after the dragon incident?" Patty asked and she nodded. "Then we're fine, we can protect him for 11 years." she said and they nodded sternly.
"Phoebe, that's enough, you had a real problem with us after we put them on probation till after Nattie was killed, but now, now this is not about you, it was never about you. It's about them, her family, their family is the family destined to be the new power of 3. But in order to do that, we have to let them grow up normal from this age to preteen, before training begins. Which was the Jedi's fatal mistake now, but keep your friends close, enemies closer, but Piper, in truth."
"It's your bartender all over again, honey." Patty said and she nodded sternly. "Exactly, but why is she determined to not bind Wyatt's powers, guys." he asked and Piper crossed her's. "Yeah that's suspicious, is she delaying for something, when we got crystals all over the house?" she asked and Leo nodded sternly. "Properly paranoid, we had 2 years of craziness, just when we can relax, we got these guys coming after Wyatt constantly." he said and Chris nodded sternly.
"The attic and our crystal cage, the rest of the house had 6 or 7 protection crystals all over the room, but what about up here, why come to the attic. And not orb the book down into the parlor, isn't that….., the bottle is on it's side, she's refusing to consider binding his powers. So if these all start changing color, we got company, then we got an ambush!" he said and they nodded. "Phoebe, so help me god…." Piper said as Chris and Leo moved to both sides of her.
As Phoebe froze and paled, realizing it sounded to him, like she was in on something. "Are you in on this maneuver here, did you create David as a distraction, so you can kidnap Wyatt. Is he the target, you lost your baby during the first trimester, and with Wyatt at the right age. You decide to kidnap him, turn him evil to create the cousin of the new Source of all evil?" he asked and Paige paled, not once considering that thought, that he'd go for the worst case scenario.
"Not surprised you know the outcome, before you deal with it yourself now, but then why not, we told you the truth, before you jumped back to now." Piper said and he nodded. "Yeah I knew everything, dad told me to jump back to when we had no children in the house. You were newly weds and Phoebe never finished school yet and was dating Cole, Jenna's murder. I pulled it off, and you went mother bear completely after he shot me." he said and her eyes narrowed then.
"You saved Jenna, and saved the amulet, we have half the said, and Jenna has the other, before your brother arrived directly after, and then we get our apprentice dropping in next." Leo said to clarify and he nodded gently. " Exactly and now after close to a month we're a family, the Elders see me as their golden child, do no wrong, and the same is said. And for the Trudeaus, grandpa, grandma, and the Morris's, only now Phoebe is on thin ice, but again right now, 2.3 years later."
"With you being the queen mother, he's young enough to forget mom's face, or mine and dad's thinking he's your and Cole's son now?" Chris asked and she started shaking, realizing how this looked to Piper now as Leo crossed his arms then. "But what could be a better revenge to the underworld, then have the wife and bride of the current Source. In taking the son of her sister and making sure said baby is converted, as dad said he's young enough, I guess this was."
"In truth payback for mom and Prue picking on you, and judging you, because of your screw ups, while they're bringing it in. The money right now, you're banging the A.D.A., said turns out to be a demon." he said and she paled in shock at that. "But did the second attack by the order not make the point stick, they may not be said big bad. But reversing said morality, leaves him thinking like Vader, good is bad, bad is good." he said and she swallowed hard at that remark.
In never once considering that revelation. "But mom bound my powers, and till I was 11, well look at me." he said and she swallowed hard and as the frequent use of the titles had Piper smile. "Nice theory and why choose Darryl to get close to Wyatt?" she asked and he nodded. "Why else exactly, we trust him, he and Sheila are friends of the family, but this matches something else mom, remember, directly after Grandma?" he said and Leo nodded sternly then.
"You mean Melinda?" he said and Chris nodded and they both nodded sternly. "Point taken and you make a good point right now, Darryl said just one thing causes these guys to snap. Said one thing was I broke up with Dan and get back together with your father, and he loses his mind. While for Prue's fling, she blows him off and he leaves a rose box fill of maggots and snakes. And on the doorstep, before we realize Abby targeted your aunt." she said and Leo nodded then.
"Point made son, you made your point, they reverse his morality we got to get the darn scepter and reverse the polarity." Leo said as he crossed his arms and she nodded in agreement. "In truth I'm searching for said evil that joined with our rogue Elder, dad, that's why I came back. My version of you never gave names, but I'll know them when I see them, but the me, in talking to you, was born after big me was killed by said rogue, mom." he said and they nodded gently.
"Whoa, did you just…?" Piper started to say and he smiled. "Yeah I did and it's because you are, he's my father." he told her and she smiled at the news as Leo also smiled. "My witch side, you, my whitelighter, borderline elder, is him, here I am." he said and they smiled in delight. "I came back to save our family, this was a small separation, as we build you back right now. Marital counseling, magic style." Chris said and they smiled in gratitude then as he went further then.
"As for why in why you suddenly disappeared this was more then family business, but you're a soldier, but things were supposed to end after 'him' now. Instead our deranged elder is stuck on half breeds, but what's the difference here. As Wyatt, if his powers are bound, the witch powers, grows up to be like us, but what's more dangerous, half demon or half angel." Chris said and she and Leo crossed their arms. "The demon." Paige said and he nodded sternly then, sighing.
"Then why is Baby Cole not dangerous to him, or you and me, we're like Wyatt, why are we not a danger to the future?" he asked her and Leo nodded slowly. "Odin!" he called out to him then and he beamed in then. "Whoa, you look like Q!" she said in shock and he nodded bemused then. "My double is the man playing him, young lady, but like him, it's case of controlling the things you girls gets yourselves into." he said gently and she nodded as Leo said it to him then.
"Odin, we got a crazed elder hell bent here on killing half breeds, but seems that we already destroyed one, so why is my son a danger. And not baby source, or just Paige and Chris, why just Wyatt and not the twins, my daughter or Paige, if I got a daughter?" he asked and he froze up in shock as he looked at Chris then gently. "We got an elder suffering the Albus Dumbledore complex, regarding my brother, it's the prophecy." he said and Odin nodded sternly.
"That's the argument, you're like her and Wyatt hmm, well then I must agree with you, who decided on this without telling us first?" he asked and he shook his head, before he, Piper, Phoebe and Leo all jerked. "Wait check that, I already know right now, but his witch powers bound, he's harmless here now till he's your age of 11. And then starts witch training, but witch/whitelighter, it's not Patty, are you..." he said and Leo nodded in agreement to his opinion.
"I am, I'm not lying anymore, what happened after he made Elder, was meant to bring out the stern parent in him, prepare him, and with it, deal with a severe betrayal. I'm thrice blessed, but the Valkyries that died for their pendants were both clones, the girls are fine." he said and Odin nodded and Leo crossed his arms at the reveal, now knowing this was to get him ready. "In addition to a medic right now, Wyatt means a lot to you, we're building our father/son bond."
"Look it was me, but the reason is to prepare you for the confrontation with our Dumbledore like Elder, dad, remember he based all his actions on Harry by a prophecy. That's this now, nothing he says makes any difference, in order to prepare, like you said now. You been trapped in a never ending war, between us and the demons, fighting for your life. And this has changed you, a lot, but give us a reason, I beg you, to have dad do it for me to save us both, right now."
"Question, if you knew the real reason I sent you there, would you let it go?" he asked and Leo nodded. "The reason was it was supposed to match up to my version, my version of your future, my present, you make one change everything changes in the process. The titans, you becoming an Elder, that was no manipulation it was right on time, but I'm an orphan. Think about it Paige, your reaction to losing your adopted parents." he said and she paled and Leo nodded in shock.
"My remark meant, until I'm ready to be around you, you took the arrow for me, I need you out of the house for now, you think your reaction is bad. Try mine, mom and the furies, Phoebe and the banshee, if I never got you out of the house and now…" he said and Leo nodded, and Piper covered her eyes then. "And you're next, you need your father out of the way until you're ready, and more importantly, the duo can't find your father till you're ready to handle this now."
"Your father and I understand, but did they ever consider my reaction with you?" she asked and they paled, before he could answer the portal opened and a valkyrie appeared. "Mist, you were in on that?!" Leo asked and she nodded. "We all were, indeed Leo, she had to leave, before you could get the truth, but were it not for Phoebe and her idiocy this would work. We were going to release you, before their doppelgangers, but Phoebe and Paige's coming to get you wrecked it."
"But Freyja was getting worried, as was I, we didn't know he could possibly be your's, or the add on, but my guess is, right now, is because there was emotional damage. Said if you're his parents, he was scared of something, if he had to get you out of the house. And as he comforted Piper, I came to check on him as he was checking the book, and for demons. Finding the right one, the latest one he landed on was the Trox." she said and he nodded, as he felt his heart lift.
"There is one way, one you're not considering here, one you're denying yourself the truth of, Aunt Prue used it on Uncle Andy, before he gave it a shot." he said and they nodded. "The truth spell, we use that on you, and we learn who you really are." Odin said and he nodded. "Yeah, but there is no need, Andy busted me already, you all know who I am to you. Golden child, can do no wrong in your eyes." he said and Odin nodded smiling gently as Mist explained it to them.
"My counterpart was a clone of herself, as was the one that died for that pendant, in truth here right now, while you're in training, changing into soldier you. He's searching the book for the right demon, but these two ruined his planning, till he sprung you." she said and Piper crossed her arms and the duo went white at that. "Rather then leaving it be, they decide to come in after me, as Chris would have come to get me himself?" he said sternly and they both nodded.
"Yeah dad, that's it exactly right now, I needed time, or we get the most heated sparring match ever, case in point, you're furious enough already. Without us killing each other in the blow out, but barely after Rick comes into it, you're acting like my father in following me." he said and Leo nodded to the news. "Good point, I trace you to the alley and suddenly you come flying out of the wall and crash into me, before we both end up in the cretaceous period right now here."
"Father bear with my near young adult son, yeah okay, but you two, where is your common sense, Chris can't protect Wyatt alone right now!" he said sternly and Phoebe swallowed hard at that, shaking. "I agree with Leo, Phoebe, this is like the time you wanted your premonitions a little stronger." Piper said sternly to this news. "So that's what this was all about, you had me in training to be a skilled viking, before I trained you, as my soldier side takes total hold now."
"While you're trying different demons till you found the right one, you get me, and then we can declare war and make it clear, they want to live and not be destroyed. Just leave us alone already and 5 weeks after I disappear the duo wreck that. Piper gets jacked and we got to fix it." Leo said, crossing his arms and he nodded. "And to repeat this, I'm sorry, but I didn't finish what I came here to do yet, and till I'm ready, to handle my emotions in being around you."
"I need you out of the way till I'm ready and more importantly the sisters, not Piper, but the duo, can't find you, Leo, till I'm ready." he said and he nodded gently. "I understand and that fills in everything I need to know, but why are you not tapping his emotions, Phoebe. They're focused on Piper and me, it's parental loss, he's Paige in the next generation, darn it." he said and she went white, realizing she screwed up in the eyes of the quartet as Piper nodded then.
"Orlin, Zola!" Chris shouted out and they orbed in as well. "Hey guys, good to see you again." she said and they smiled gently. "You too honey, happy birthday." Orlin said smiling and she smiled. "Thank you." she said and they looked at Wyatt. "Hey cub." Zola said and he smiled at him gently. "Personal gain consequences resulted in a food fight, but could get worse, I decided to be the human manifestation of said now." Chris said and they nodded sternly to the news.
"Before this turns into a possible ambush, but we said time and time again, misuse magic results in doing you in the process, after the little monster sexually harassed her. She hexes him and the backfire results in the big breast fiasco, along with an emotional breakdown. This time it could result in Wyatt getting kidnapped and turned evil while you suffer a relapse. After the girls restored your powers after the phoenix attacked you." Orlin said and Piper nodded to that then.
"I been around you guys so much now, instead of you staying upstairs, this became normal in the rewrite in our past here, that I feel like Padme in being around the Jedi council." she said, and Odin chuckled and nodded. "Yes and you can trust us, with us being your husband's bosses, but since he became an elder, he can set his own hours, that's why he's always around." Zola said gently and she smiled in delight as Chris smiled as Odin said it gently to her then.
"Piper it was okay, before Chris sent him to Valhalla, if that's what happened, we decided to let him stay with you, you're his only charges now, while Chris was in training." Odin said and she nodded smiling. "Well make one change in the past everything changes in the process, we're right on schedule right now, the Titans were on schedule. As was the promotion, but these two screwed up the catch on dad's returning after the blondes." Chris said and Odin nodded sternly.
"Piper needed time to adjust, she thought we were taking Leo away from her, where is your brain you two, remember young lady, the trolls. She's on the picket-line, trying to make due with Chris right now, while he's keeping her busy with demons. To take her mind off her pain, Leo is in training to be a Viking, this is why Prue was so fed up. Remember said blast, we felt your trio break up, it's happening again?" Odin and she swallowed hard at that remark shaking.
"I was going to get him back anyway Odin, but emotionally, I wasn't ready to be around my father this soon, dad was killed the year before in my present. He took the arrow for me, you remember mom's reaction over Prue, it's her all over again. Just the next age group down, but they disregard my opinion and do what they want, mom on the other hand." he said and Odin crossed his arms then and Phoebe paled, realizing not once did she ever consider his emotions.
"My parents are dead, and my sister is like the guys and me, a witchlighter." he said and Odin nodded sternly at the news. "So your parents and your sister are dead, leaving only you and your twin, with your brother out of his mind on the power lust. And we lost your girlfriend, the phoenix, as she delayed him long enough for you to get the spell. You tore out the time travel spell and jump back to now?" he said and Chris nodded and Leo nodded angrily at that news.
"Mom and Phoebe are dead, as is Paige, dad was the last to go, I'm an orphan." he said and he nodded sternly. "Are any of us, the us being the elders, still alive, if we agreed with sending you to the night Cole had that relapse?" he asked and he sighed. "You, Sandra, Zola and Orlin, but everyone else is dead, 90% of the family is half whitelighter." he told him and they nodded. "I get it, but these two need a reality check." he said sternly and the duo swallowed hard then.
"My body is still healing from the removal and return, if they're, the they're being the Order right now, but if they're still hanging around…" Chris said and Leo nodded in fury. "Point taken, this is child abuse, damn it you two!" Piper said in anger at that. "I get the point son, and you're right at the moment, but this in not listening to your opinion. Said is wearing thin, but your mother was on baby-sitting duty with D.J. and his friend that day!" Leo snapped at the news.
"Did you just want Leo back that soon, for all I know, this happened in his present, he decided to match it up, and give Piper time. While Leo trained, so he can stop our rogue elder and said demon, but do you realize how reckless this was, you two. And by disregarding her emotions, that she needed time here, if we'd known, we tell him that he can stay. As Leo's here, he's just training Chris?!" Odin said in shocked fury and they both paled at his remark and Chris nodded.
"You read it right, that was entirely my intention." he said and Odin, Orlin, Zola and Leo nodded. "The plan Freyja, Mist and I created was you were in training till we hit the blondes, and then I bring you home now, as I started acting like the son of an elder. The empath blocking potion, them teaching you what happens when you let Inner Desires take total control. And now this, and the Elders agreed with my methods, as the mistrust fades, we start trusting each other."
"Before you got comfortable enough to having Eric around as well, he arrives and we spot shifts, one of us on being with mom, the other running said errand. Real or magical, while you handle the whatever is going on upstairs right now dad." he said and Leo nodded gently to the news. "If that's not covering all the bases and being the son of an elder, in training to become one. And nothing is right now." Odin said with a smile as the duo both paled as Piper crossed her arms.
"Agreed, fortunately with knowing we have a rogue elder your father never turns on us, we never knew, as next year said situation results in a case of double agent. With you that young still, but we'll be fine still, he stays an elder and you're the twin sons of one. But really are your lives the only thing that matters, or does Piper's emotional well-being mean nothing to you?" Zola said and they both flinched at the reprimand and Chris looked between her and Odin then.
"Said first test on it resulted in a concussion in both our cases: Cole." he said and they nodded. "I guess this means not just you, but we had your twin arriving as well, so while one of you. Now, is on baby sitting duty the other was going to get the egg for that potion?" Piper said and he nodded to her. "Eric and I decided, after you got comfortable with me being here, he was coming as well, so you had us both, so one of us with you, the other runs said magical errand."
"While dad deals with whatever the elders needed him to do, but 14 months and start using the truth spell repeatedly to find our big bad, mom, dad." he said and she and Leo nodded as Leo said it for both of them. "Fair enough, and you're right, it's a good idea, we just got comfortable with you being here, and now I can't imagine not having you here now. Add your brother and family of 5 now, while the girls have got their own lives to live, more time me, less time we."
"Create the boundaries now, your mother and I were ready for things, or arriving directly before Wyatt is born, he sees you as his brother. We had 7 months together, life is normal, and before we add your twin, one twin is dealing with whatever, the other stays with your mom and Wyatt. While I handle whatever as your mother recovers from the pregnancy, getting used to no shield again." he said and Odin nodded. "Indeed, that's fine Chris." he said and Phoebe swallowed.
"We didn't know that was your intention!" Paige said shaking, realizing what kind of mess they created. "You even bother to ask, I did say it's too dangerous to go there, you saw their reactions, to them, you're intruders. One of the Vikings said it directly, the 'Witches', only an elder can make contact with a Viking or Valkyrie. So why not listen to me, for once, my neurotic behavior is I am waiting for things to get worse: the Brotherhood." Chris said and Odin nodded.
"Yes that is still a threat, your husband's regiment is still a threat after he became the Source young lady. Or did you want freedom from all the vanquishings, never considering here this was a brief separation. Till he got Leo back up here, as she heals, they've taken said step back and Chris built them back up to Gail, and before your movie mayhem?" he said sternly to her and Phoebe swallowed hard, realizing how reckless a decision now she committed then finally.
"The plan was wait till we deal with that trio of blondes and then I go get him and bring him back, as I told them the truth, they never divorced, or you decided to split them up. Dad is staying down here with us, you just let him set his own hours now with him a young elder now. He trains me and mom has us both, as my twin arrives and extra fire power." Chris said and the trio nodded and the duo went white in shock as Odin said it for all of them at that in anger.
"Are you out of your damn mind young lady, you just screwed up their planning completely!" Odin said in shocked fury at that remark. "Dad's Obi-wan, you're Mace, Odin, you know this, I'm trustworthy, if I wasn't, would these be changing color to black." he said, orbing his power coin and Paige's crystal to him and he saw them both as their natural color. "No if you were evil, these are jet black, questionable at first and now trustworthy." he said and Phoebe swallowed.
"That a dragon foot on this gold coin?" he added and Chris nodded. "My power coin actually, is really my protection crystal." he said and the quartet nodded. "The Power Rangers, that's your favorite preteen tv show, if this says anything you loved season 1. And the first half of season 2, before he switched colors, that's his power coin, your favorite color. Said is green, if you're a twin, he likes red." Odin said and he nodded and Piper and Leo smiled as he said it.
"Yeah, as for this." he said and then said it. "Imagine if mom and dad married 16 years ago, right after conceiving me, what's your first opinion. You did it once, you can do it again, you know the dangers here, of being a half breed 16 years in advance. And you're about to gain the 3rd with the said twice blessed, but the gene jumped one generation. And came full circle after dad became an elder, resulting in my powers?" he said and Odin nodded as he crossed his arms.
"I'd see this as ludicrous, why is Wyatt a danger and not you, your twin or your aunt, you're descended from an elder already, before your father became one, and a 16 year age difference. But then you and your twin are my golden children you can do no wrong in my eyes, just like it's the same for Victor, Patty, Darryl and Penny. But this is ridiculous, your brother is not a threat, we just bind his powers till he's 11." he said sternly and Piper and Leo nodded in agreement.
"Remember what you taught mom, during the trolls Odin, before she and dad got married, we're back to this again, 3 years apart." he said and Phoebe straightened in shock at that. "Oh!" Wyatt said gently and Chris nodded. "Yeah uh oh alright, little brother, in which case, is your happiness the only thing that matters, you thought once he was gone, you can relax?" he said and she paled at that remark. "Everything comes to an end, in 2.5 years." he said and she swallowed.
"The battle with the Ultimate powers is in 2.5 years, after that, we, you, can relax, but until we destroyed every evil there is to destroy, we're not done. As of right now, instead of evil we got a Elder taking on an Albus Dumbledore complex, for the greater good, Wyatt has to die." he said and Odin crossed his arms at the reveal. "But that won't stop the future your mother came from, damned if you do, damned if you don't, so take out a third option." Sandra said, orbing in then.
"Hey Sandra." Piper said smiling and she smiled. "Hey baby, happy birthday." she said and Piper nodded. "Thank you." she said and Sandra looked down at Wyatt and ran her hand through his hair. "Issues, but we all agreed on this, that to protect Wyatt, at this age, was binding his powers, we'd have done it after the first half of the episode ended. But someone screwed up and we got her empathic powers coming online." she said and the couple nodded in agreement then.
"Yeah that and a raid by the Valkyries dropping in, as we got to help round up said souls and join with the girls." she said and the quartet nodded. "There's the reason dad got sent there in the first place, we got a jail break and had to help out. As for Wyatt, it's case of, for our rogue elder, they kill him, it turns into Pratt and the Salem witch trials trials. They don't, it turns into Terminator 2: gone witch right now, so take a out a third option." Chris said and they nodded.
"Binding his witch powers till he's 10, and then he can train as a witch, but he has his whitelighter." Odin said, translating the message Chris wanted to put to them and they nodded smiling in relief he suggested that. "I can protect him till he's 5, but I leave after our sister is 2, guys, but I'm a twin." he said and they nodded, before the portal opened and another gold coin got thrown through it. "Austin, he's red, you're green." Leo said, picking it up then smiling then.
"Hear these words hear the rhyme, heed the hope from within my mind send me back from where I'll find, what I wish in place and time." Chris said and the portal opened and he chucked a message through it and it closed. "Back to Aunt Prue and Uncles Andy and Darryl." he said, before it opened up a second time and something was thrown through it. "Hear these words hear the rhyme, help with altered times, restore memories from what I find, to what I wish."
"In place and time." he recited, after opening it and reading the incantation and everything in the room changed then as they saw the alterations then as their memories restored themselves. "Jeez yes alright there we go, 2 years and 6 months later after our wedding, you been living with us that long and instead of an intruder in the house hold, you're family." Piper said and he nodded. "Nice, alright young lady, where is your brain exactly." she said and Piper nodded then.
"That's your brother baby?" Sandra asked him and he nodded to her. "Identical twins, Sandra." he said and they nodded. "And this is also not going black, it's solid gold with the red edging, so he's also trustworthy." Odin said, smiling in relief that their new arrival was really the son of their leader in their strongest source of good now. "You're the unborn son of the leader of the Charmed Ones!" Sandra read out and he nodded. "I am." he said and Piper smiled in delight.
"So basically this was to prepare for a full on war between us and the demonic community till they get the message, if they don't want to die. Then leave us alone right now and you reveal yourself to us, as you're either our adoptive, surrogate. Or real son, and they ruined that planning by erasing my pain and springing your father. Okay that makes perfect sense and thank you for telling us this Mist, and tell Freyja we appreciate this." Piper said and Mist nodded.
"Good thing you're not one of the hunters, you fall in love, but you and me, I could, would, never hurt you, but don't worry, I'm here for another 5 years, Mist." he said and she smiled in delight, as she hugged him and he pressed his forehead to her's. "Be safe my love, the truth is out now, come see me soon." she said and he nodded. "Give this to Freyja, we won't need these anymore, and tell Rain thanks for the help." he said and she nodded as she looked into his eyes.
"Thanks honey." Chris said smiling and she smiled and the couple smiled as they got it as she hugged him tightly. "After losing Bianca, you're dating a Valkyrie now?" Leo said smiling and he nodded. "Yeah we been together ever since Bianca was killed by Wyatt in my present, I been with her when you don't see me here. But she and Freyja said time for the truth to come out now, we had to get you ready to go furious father bear." he said and Leo nodded to the news.
"Thanks Mist, we owe you big for helping him to heal now." Piper said smiling and she nodded as she leaned against Chris. "Issues in this job they get dangerous on any number of levels, mom, dad, as to that, best to date an immortal being, to prevent a case of heart ache." he said and they nodded gently. "Case in point, your father and me, and even you're not invulnerable with the arrows right now, because you're half whitelighter." she said and he nodded to her gently.
"Besides Freyja just granted use of the cage for training, you're training me to be a skilled swordsman now." he said and Leo smiled at the remark. "I'm a trained Viking in being a fighter, now, and you're my apprentice in training, okay that's fine and they just granted it. Said it, unlimited access to the island, so we can come and go as we please now. The guys are seeing me repeatedly now, as I train you, my cub version." he said smiling and then said it clarify then.
"So with Piper not thinking straight, because of whatever spell these two did, you're searching for the right demon in this good/bad duo that wanted Wyatt dead or worse. And in my case, he was trying to prepare me for said confrontation, I'm a medic sure. But I'm also a soldier and then when the time was right, you bring me home, and we work out a new way. You tell me the truth and things are like we are now?" he asked and she and Chris nodded and he smiled then.
"Exactly dad, that's it exactly, the situation with Cole was over sure, but the Brotherhood, and every other demon out there, we're declaring war, till they get the message. Leave us alone, or we kill them all right now." Chris said and his parents nodded gently then. "Nice work in a scare tactic kiddo, that really drives the message home, touch my family, you better start running." he said and Piper nodded gently. "Agreed, nice work baby." she said and he hid a smile at the title.
"Mist's friends were cloned, as Freyja gave the go ahead over getting in and out, she knew you were likely to try that and decided to not be there when you did it. The guys figured this out and decided it was between you and me, and decided not their business, but the pendants. I just borrowed the pendants, before we gave them back." Chris added and Leo nodded. "Covered all the bases, making me at first think you couldn't be trusted till now, and now I see it clearly."
"And as you can, as you're about to tell us the truth, okay that answers why you sent me there, now why all the demon hunting?" he asked him and he explained that. "I'm looking for the said bad half of the good/evil duo after Wyatt right now, dad, so constant hunting. As we thin the ranks till we reach the right one and blow him away." he said and he and Piper nodded. "Non manipulation, and sudden switch, okay that's good enough." she said and the duo looked at her.
"And the subject is closed here on that, and girls, before you start debating this, you moved out, this has to do with my family, so leave it alone." Leo added and she nodded in agreement to his opinion. "He's right, this falls back on said marriage counseling right now in April, so again leave it alone right now, because you're just making things worse. I mean it Phoebe, leave it alone, before, instead of moving out, I kick you out." she said, knowing she couldn't leave it alone.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Chris why the hell did you do that?!" Phoebe said in shock and Piper slammed her hand on the table. "Were you even listening right now, the job ripped 'our' family apart, he's also suffering something, so clearly he couldn't be near his father. And this soon, before whatever happened as you tried to return my memories is the result. Mind your own business and but out!" she snarled and Phoebe went white in fear, realizing she was in trouble.
"This is between his father, me and him, so if you don't mind, we'd appreciate it if you mind your business, you're the middle child now, I'm the eldest, so but out." she said sternly and she swallowed. "Out of Paige and my life, what goes on in our loves lives is absolutely no damn business of your's and the same for raising my children, so mind your own business." she said sternly and then said it to Chris gently, her tone gentle as she looked at him then at this.
"Baby, Chris, is everything Mist told us, if we're your parents, true?" she asked and Chris nodded and they nodded. "It's true, mom, it's all true, dad was killed 15 months prior in my present, been all alone ever since, though I had Eric. It's he and Paige are gone, if I didn't, then the fight in the cage would be alot more heated. In fact the fight would be so heated, we'd have killed each other, why did he leave me, why did he take that arrow." he said sadly and they nodded.
"I was killed by a darklighter arrow, did I take the shot for you?" Leo said, feeling his heart sinking and he nodded as he couldn't answer, not without feeling. And like he was about to start crying and he moved to him and hugged him and he buried his face into his shoulder. "Don't leave me, not again, don't leave." he heard and he felt the pain surge through his heart. "Shh, it's okay, it's okay, nothing's going to happen, I won't ever leave." he said, looking into his eyes.
"Thanks Mist for telling us that, we owe you, we can handle this." Piper said and she nodded and disappeared and Chris sighed in relief, Mist bailed him out of it now. "Seventeen and feeling like a 10 year old again right now." Leo said and she nodded in agreement. "Agreed, the little boy with his parents just came forward, so 10 to 11 years, we're 43. And you were possibly killed when he was 17, making him 18, he's 18, the demons destroyed us." she said and he nodded.
"Take 5, get your stuff, you're moving in, baby." she added and Chris nodded as he orbed out, to the club, grabbed up everything, bagged it and slung it over his shoulder and orbed back. As he put his stuff down on the sofa and went over this gently with her. "Like she said time for the truth and like you said dad, I'm not lying to manipulate, not anymore. But question, didn't you distrust Cole, or did you love him too much to be blind?" he asked and Phoebe flinched at that.
"Good point, Prue, your mother and I distrusted Cole from the second he came into our lives, at first we thought we can't trust you. Only to learn you were insuring the family is safe by turning me into a younger version of Odin now." Leo said and he nodded gently. "Just who are you kidding Phoebe, Chris is completely good, so good in fact, at times we need to bend rules. If it means giving up what we love, the greater good must be." Piper said and she swallowed hard.
"Separating 'our' family in one area and possible emotional damage on the other." Leo said to that and Chris sighed it relief. "That makes sense now, the way you were acting, since you reversed the spell in my case now. Well says that you're in mourning, not just of Leo, but of me right now, you're determined not to lose us. And because from the way you act, it's you did in your present, if you're our's, you're an orphan now." Piper said and he nodded gently to her.
"That's the difference, in my present no you, I come here, and you're all alive." he said and they both nodded. "We get it, it's okay, in the past you can heal as you get back the time you lost right now, before the timer ends, enjoy our 18 months together. And while we still have the chance, we maybe looking after your brother, but you have us back. As we do these next 16 to 18 months leading into your birthday." she said and he nodded as he looked into her's eyes.
"Yeah it's fine, now that I know why you would resort to this, that's fine, you have nothing to go back to if you're our's, we're dead, the girls, your sister, if we had a girl. Let alone their families, Darryl, Sheila and Victor?" he asked and Chris looked down and they both nodded and she pressed her forehead to his. "It's okay, we get it, we're not mad, you did what you had to do, but being in the past heals the damage, as we find whoever it is that gave me that line now."
"That's true and whoever did is in big trouble, but if 'he' came back, he's getting blasted and staying it." Leo said sternly then "In truth, your reaction in me was the one we needed, show you mean business with whoever nearly killed us both, that's Wyatt by the way. Me and Wyatt, my adult double was murdered by the rogue, while my double was protecting Wyatt. Being a phantom of the future, this set you over the edge." he said and he nodded as his eyes narrowed.
"To repeat this, just how is killing a child ever for the greater good, who is he to decide that, whoever it is. It's not because of Wyatt, but because of 'him', because of what he tried to do and we, you and me, stop now. But first you and then Wyatt, you're not taking my entire family away from me!" he said sternly and Chris smiled at the inclusion then. "We been together so long, that you're part of the family, or you are, if you're my son, then you're my teenage son."
"Are you saying I killed this Rogue elder for taking you away from me, you're my son, he killed you and I swore to find him and do it myself?" he said and Chris nodded. "First me and then he and our demon nearly killed Wyatt." he said and he nodded. "Yeah that's reason enough for me to want to get overly protective, I lose big you and then baby you. If you're baby you, I watch little you grow into his body." he said and Chris nodded as he looked into his eyes as he said it.
"Well in truth now, I'm from the version that first resembled what mom and Aunt Prue saw in 6 years, and then it switched. But in my present, I'm 17, it's been 15 months, and since you were murdered by a darklighter, you and Paige were all I had left. Remember, it had been close to a month before you and Paige got mom to say it?" he said and his heart tightened. "Well that's me now, but if you turned mom into a boy, and took 16 years off, who do you see exactly, dad."
"Because, in reality, I'm really only borderline 16." he said and Leo felt his heart give a painful thump as he closed his eyes, and did just that and smiled. 'Baby, my baby, Chris!' he thought quickly at that as he moved to him as he gripped the back of his neck then. And he pressed his forehead to his gently, as Leo tightened his arms around him then. "Why didn't you just tell us who you were, we could have just changed this?" he said gently and he swallowed hard then.
"I'm still in mourning dad, the only reason I'm dealing with hunting so much is because, I can't be here otherwise you get the exact fight you never wanted, the cage." he said and Leo nodded as he hugged him. "It's okay, it's okay, going to be okay, we just fix this, but your strength is still coming back, but starting now, when you're on duty. You're not going anywhere without me, you're my son, I have to protect you guys and your mother." he said and Chris nodded softly.
"You were the first to bust me, after we headed upstairs." Chris said to him and he smiled and as he hugged him tightly. "First me and Andy, if we brought him back and then your mother, but yeah that came back, taking off the 4 years. And from 18 to 14, it's been exactly 2 years and 3 months and your birthday is November 16th 2004." he said and Piper smiled as she started feeling it herself as the parental titles slammed into place then as she said it.
