Changing The Past I: Charmed Season 5
Warnings: With this chapter it's going to be Paige's version to the events of losing her sisters, before she too dies. To her, nothing mattered more to her, then Chris, being her nephew, as a walking, talking witchlighter. Sharing a bond between them, as this shoves forth everything she considered, as she. And Leo take the job immediately, now knowing the newborn son and nephew of his was destined to become another Vader.
This is a Chris revelation story spanning from the end of Cat House till the end of season 8. Unlike my other story, this is one set in the time frame as the first, and no time line reset, and they and Paige trust him immediately now. Only with Paige acting like Prue, and Darryl never ends their friendship. So this one follows things all the way to epilogue, in where we see them writing their memoirs.
This is also in the first 5 chapters after that conversation is going to be minor Phoebe bashing, because she wanted to be the one to save their marriage…
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.
Chapter 2: Confessions And Police Explanations
"Chris, what are you doing here?" she asked sharply and he smiled. "I just came to talk to you." Chris said soothingly, but the look he was getting seemed to indicate he was about as welcome here as dry rot. "Chris, if it's another demon I'm not in the mood." Phoebe said irritably and Piper crossed her arms. "Well I call that look on his face, that the us he knew were never so self centered, we blow off a secret job for our real one." Leo said and he nodded then.
"It's not another demon, I just came to talk to my aunt if that isn't too much bother." Chris sniped angrily and that shocked her a little, and Chris took some savage pleasure in seeing her eyes widen in surprise. Served her right, jumping to conclusions. "Well Chris, I'm a little busy at the moment..." Phoebe said, not meeting his eyes and Chris raised an eyebrow skeptically. "Oh yeah, doing what?" he asked, trying to keep his voice polite at that news.
But as he knew well she was lying to him, as she hadn't done a single thing and her completed column was on the desk beside her so she couldn't be that busy. "Get her to say it, and we all roast her alive, good move right now, you're an orphan, you need all the love we can give you," Darryl said and Piper nodded. "Important stuff." Phoebe said elusively, and Chris rolled his eyes, his temper, relatively calm until provoked, just like his mother's, was rising now.
"Look aunt Phoebe, I just want to talk to you ok?" he asked, giving it one final stab, though he was getting incredibly frustrated and was feeling slightly hurt by her treatment too. Fair enough he hadn't always been level with her and her sisters, but he had never treated them with outright hatred no matter how horrible they had been to him then. "No, it isn't ok! We were all perfectly happy until you showed up and turned everything upside down."
"You've lied to us, deceived us and manipulated us since day one. We never asked you to come back here, but you just came along anyway! Coming back just because your big brother picked on you, how pathetic are you!" she yelled angrily and Chris took a disbelieving step backwards. He had a horrible feeling she had been longing to throw this diatribe at him ever since he had arrived, and here she could do it without reproach then
And from either Paige or his mother, and she was really going to town, he opened his mouth, but she cut across him then. "We were all happy, there were no major threats and ever since you appeared we've never had a moments rest. No wonder your brother 'apparently' turns evil with a neurotic little freak like you. And for a brother making him paranoid and constantly bringing demons into the house, and broke up your parents now."
"You took away your dad, who never did anything to deserve that, you never give us peace, you turned our lives upside down just so you can stop Wyatt being a typical big brother and picking on you! And on that note, you're nowhere near as good a Whitelighter as Leo, and never will be. You can't even heal!" she shouted, and Piper nodded sternly. "Just imagine Elise hearing all of this." Leo said and she went white at that.
As Chris felt tears welling up, but Phoebe wasn't done, and she wasn't letting him get a word in edgeways. "You're a liar and we were all so much better off without you, and I still can't quite believe that you're my nephew. And just because you are doesn't mean I'm going to forget everything you've done. You're a manipulative, paranoid lying little freak, you've got us jumping at shadows at a threat that probably doesn't even exist."
"And you, little future boy, are probably the thing that does turn him if he winds up evil. We were all happier without you Chris, so just go. You got what you wanted, you got yourself conceived. So just go." She said coldly to him. "Phoebe, how could you, we warned you to shut up, even I would have if Gideon never forced it, if Wyatt kill you next. It was to kill the queen of Evil, you ever think of that!" Leo said and she went white in fear, realizing it.
To them, she was the embodiment of Lilith, the queen of the devil, Chris was the protector and bodyguard of Christ, and someone turned him into the Antichrist at that remark. Watching as Chris took a step back, tears running down his face. He didn't even try to wipe them from his eyes, his mother throwing him out was one thing..., this was totally different. He just wanted to orb away, but the fury he inherited from his mother and his aunt Prue kept him rooted then.
She thought her new nephew was so bad did she, well she may have ripped apart his already fragile heart, but he wasn't going to leave without at least giving a parting shot. "You know the aunt Phoebe I knew..., you're nothing on her. I'm glad I know how far your auntly concern goes dear aunt Phoebe, I admit I've lied. But you can't lecture anyone about lying, do you even know why I came here: I came here to talk to my aunt to tell her."
"In how much she meant to me and instead I got the cold hearted bitch who makes the snow queen look warm and loving." Chris said through his tear filled voice, hatred pouring from his eyes, as Phoebe looked at him in shock, and opened her mouth quickly. "Look I am..." she started to say and Chris didn't let her get a word in this time. "If you dare say 'your aunt' I will scream, and no matter how good a person they think you are here."
"I don't think your colleagues will be pleased with what you just said to me. I admit, I did some stuff I shouldn't have done, but don't you dare think, even for a second, that I wanted to do them. I hated splitting mom up from Leo and making her so miserable. There is an evil out there that is after Wyatt, believe me. And know how you think dad didn't deserve what I did?" he growled at her then sternly and Piper nodded in agreement
Seeing the fury and deep hurt cutting through his fragile sounding voice as Phoebe just kept looking at him in shock. "That was the man that you and aunt Paige threw out of the house, because he wasn't there for his kids during their mother's funeral. That frankly if something happens in the next 6 months gets the to fix it all!" he spat at her then and Phoebe took a step back, shocked: Piper was dead in his future, as he went further then.
"My aunt Phoebe loved me, but you're nothing against her, she would never ever say anything like that." he snarled at her as Phoebe's jaw was trying to work, to try and talk Chris down, try to talk about this, even though she knew the damage had been done. But he drowned out her feeble protestations. "And I know I'm a crap Whitelighter, having seen everyone I care about die in front of me and not being able to do anything about it was more."
"Then enough to remind me of that thank you very much and you know that beautiful little boy you fawn so much over, and were perfectly happy with until I showed up? My saintly big brother? Well I'll let you in on a little secret my dear auntie. Itty, bitty, perfect, baby Wyatt is the one who stabbed you! He ran you through with Excalibur, and he turned or killed your kids and as you bled to death, do you know now here."
"Just who the person was, who sat beside you, holding your hand, knowing he was watching the last person alive. that he loved slipping away from him, and as you so kindly pointed out, he was totally unable to heal you. It was me. I watched as my last auntie bled to death, after she had been stabbed. By my dear big brother you seem to think is so very perfect! I sat there and watched you die...just like I had to watch it."
"Watch mom, Paige and grandpa die...you were the last one I had...and you left me too, but I didn't leave you never. I sat there with you, knowing you were going away and leaving me all alone, but I still stayed. And with the aunt that I loved, I loved my aunt Phoebe." He said, sobs wracking his furious torrent of words and then he dealt the blow just as she had. "Yeah there it is, it's out finally." Leo said sternly, crossing his arms sternly.
"But you're not her, you don't even come close." He said hatefully, glaring at her and orbing out, and as he did so, he let out a massive sob. And Phoebe dropped into her seat, shock, horror and a sick feeling of guilt spreading through her. What had she done. "Well showing us his adult double, he gets all the love and support we can give him now, so tell me. He arrived just in time, in promotion his father stays here." Paige said and she swallowed hard and Piper nodded.
"But really, you don't want this right now, this anymore, just get out right now, move back to the penthouse, be your own woman again. As last year shouldn't have happened, in Piper's case, but freedom from responsibility. As that's what you really want isn't it: freedom from responsibility of your powers, yeah okay move." Leo said and she started shaking violently, now realizing she made a gigantic mistake in their eyes as Piper looked at her disgusted shock.
"Agreed right now, that you just crossed a line, one that can never be undone now, he did it to save Wyatt, and save our marriage, giving us a much needed separation. One that was being caused, based on exactly yesterday's solution, he needs to get a life first, I need to be a wife. First, and more importantly, we need more time as a couple, we get all that and more, with his arrival, only now, there is no chance of that, now, he puts his life back in line again now."
"He has us back and he's happy again, she has a life outside the family by becoming our new one's whitelighter and best female friend. So just where the hell do you get off, saying everything was fine, till he showed up exactly. That you don't remember the last year of hell we had, since you and Cole got married?!" she said and Phoebe went white in shock, now realizing as far as they were concerned she was completely delusional, as Leo crossed how arms angrily.
"Nothing was fine, after you met that bastard Phoebe, nothing at all, and quite frankly, everything was fine to us till you brought him into our lives. Everything, why are we still not letting it go, you said he was alive, but you never said that he was back at the time. You went and fell in love with a demon, our enemy, so don't give us this crap right now. We hadn't had a moment's peace and quiet, since Paige exterminated him, you're still going on about him!"
"But to us everything is fine now, with my son here, he gets the advanced training he needs, he's simply being a soldier, misinformation, enemy's favorite tactic. That don't fall for it a second time, as your ignorance, in the danger, arrogance, you're the leader of you three. Or that everything was fine till he arrived, that says mental illness in everyway you can say it. As far as I'm concerned, this being my house, till you grow up, you leave." Leo said sternly to her at that.
As Paige charged up to her room, and started grabbing her stuff and throwing it to the foot of the staircase and she looked at her in shock, as she felt her heart shatter. Chris or her, they were choosing Chris and kicking her out of the house now then as the picture shattered. On the floor, of her and Cole and Leo nodded sternly and she swallowed hard at that. As Paige sat her newly packed bags, in the foyer ready to be thrown in the back of her car and driven there.
"Like I said, you're like the queen of all evil, literally right now, you can't force my son out of his own house, not after 8 months living here, either demonic or civilian means. Day one and soon after 8 months it's like nothing changed at all, to Leo and me, we never been happier. Life is as normal as it gets for us, instead of being trapped in Valhalla, the boys are training. The job is on hiatus now and after 5 weeks, as we reactivate." she said and she swallowed hard at the tone.
"Good enough we get a 5 week vacation, before the trouble starts twice." Darryl said and Leo nodded in agreement to that. "All these temp jobs are magically involved, the guys are training, to fight it out with demons, and once the 5 weeks are over. That if someone triggered another setback, we need a way in, without getting busted here. But the warriors in Valhalla running loose in the city, not our fault, someone escaped capture." Paige said and they nodded then.
"Woof!" they heard in response and they looked out the door, "Oh great, just who let the dogs out this time, we got another banshee on the loose." Piper said and he nodded. "Rasputin if that's you, I thought you moved onto another family, boy." he added and Paige chuckled. "Penny's dog Paige, he looks just the one that Prue changed into when you were jumping, and through our memories last night in truth." Leo said and Sheila shook her head, smiling at the.
"As for your remark on orphans, Paige, we had two in this family, and if we managed to prevent it with Phoebe, we can certainly with him now. But this doesn't mean just setting things aside, so one temp job at a time, one demon at a time. Our biggest fear is losing him to evil or him turning evil, because he's the best of both sides, carrying alot of power. So with that in mind, so who else could be, but the demon of: Barbus!" Piper said and she went white in shock then.
And Chris leaned his head back in relief and they nodded. "Never had to say it, we just guessed right, the headmaster and Barbus?" Sheila asked and he nodded. "Yeah you did, you did, he doesn't come back into the picture till mom's second trimester." he said and she nodded in relief then. "Well till then we start thinning out the ranks now, till we get them all and then two more haituses." Leo said smiling sternly and Piper nodded in agreement then as Paige smiled then.
"Agreed, he's like Tyler, if anything in fact, I'd bet Tyler is part of the resistance in his future." Leo added and Chris smiled. "Busted you I take it, Tyler is 26, you're going on 16 here." she asked and he nodded, smiling gently. "Yeah, everyone you helped are all part of the resistance." he said and they nodded. "In fighting for our memory, you're trying a pre emptive strike and kill the sole cause to save Wyatt and save the future, we understand." Paige said and he nodded.
"Dad how much is that empathy blocking potion exactly, not trying to hide my identity or anything as you busted me already, but her power is wrecking havoc on their bonds." he said and he crossed his arms. "It's expensive for a reason if we get an experienced potions master to brew it, but your idea is a good one right now. Keep her out of their heads, and before the girls kill each other right now, but enough is enough." he said and she swallowed hard then, shaking.
"Butting into her personal life, smothering my baby, and casting judgement on my son, that's enough already right now, Phoebe, you are so in that hole, it's going to take months before we trust you, you know the rules. You can't use your powers for your own personal gain, but I think and I agree with Paige and Piper. That you need to mind your own business and but out, until Paige comes to us, we stay out of her love life here." he said and she started shaking at that.
"Just wait for the empathy to kick in next, she's feeling instead of anger at you taking off on mom directly after conceiving me. Is the anger at you taking the shot for me, dad, I…, I just could not believe you did that after losing mom. That as if mom was not enough, I lose you, because you jumped in front of me, just as the arrow struck home." he said and Leo nodded, as he pulled him into a hug and he buried his head into his shoulder and Piper nodded sternly.
"Hence the till I'm ready to handle being around you this soon, after you been killed in my present, I need you out of the way as I get used to seeing mom. And like I remember her, the house I remember mom keeping it, before everything went to heck." Lieutenant Darryl Morris said and he nodded. "You just recently became an orphan, when was your father killed?" she asked and he looked down and she nodded. "Just last month, baby?" Paige said and he nodded.
"Yeah, he's seeing Wyatt as an innocent baby, before everything went to heck, we understand this, he's your big brother and something still destroyed him. Despite our doing everything to stop it, so you came back directly after he was born to try again." she said and he nodded. "It's okay buddy, but we need to make plans now, but Darryl, you need a 5 month sabbatical. Before the end of the third second trimester, we can turn to your counterparts." Leo said to him then.
"Who exactly, not David, after what happened 18 months ago." he said and he nodded. "Just this once, we're revealing ourselves and he and the cops learn the truth finally. Their cases are supernaturally bugged and have been, since Andy and Prue returned to each other now. So we just reveal the truth and they know why we're constantly dropping by the precinct now. It's because we're helpful samaritans now." Leo said and Darryl nodded smiling at the news then.
"As for my arrival, by everything going on and my showing up with you here now, the future is going to change slightly right now. Can't go back, I already changed the timeline, by you busting me this soon after my arrival." he said and she nodded as she hugged him tightly. "Going to be okay baby." She said to him softly. "Everything is fine, we needed this, so now that you arrived, we have a chance to fix this, before it becomes irreparable." Leo added and he nodded.
"You were two months prior, leaving only dad, dad just 3 weeks ago, everyone non whitelighter was dead." he said and she and Piper nodded in fury. "We get it, we understand, but if we get another banshee or fury, just say it and get it out of you. You're not losing us again, we'll make sure of that, if you're staying for 5 to 8 years, you get to finish it out. In your seeing us as you remember us, just 18 years younger then you remember." Leo said to him then gently at that.
"Agreed, before we can all relax, I am running some renovations inside the house, before we start our 6th year here. And we begin the short range here, of dealing with one problem to the next now, but this attitude now. Because I want to spend all my time with my teenage son, and his father, Phoebe that is something. That I will not tolerate here, so but out right now, if he's emotionally compromised, he needs mother/son and father/son time with his father and me."
"Going by the emotional pain in his eyes, he lost us both within 18 months and lost both of you, so he needs his father and me right now." Piper said sternly and Chris sighed, as he sat down. "Well no need to hide anything from you, your parentally intuition just unlocked my own pain, you know this, despite my growing up in the future. Is it's like it would be, in the past 16 years, you know me without needing my preferences, knowing my feelings." he said to her gently then.
"We just jumped the hard parts with you baby, as we see what having a teenage witchlighter in the house is like, balancing both sides of being normal. But then if being normal means I never see what little you grows into, well I accept my powers with open arms now." she said, pressing her hand to his cheek and he leaned his head into her hand. "One bun finished cooking, it's 19 months, before little me is born." he said and she nodded, this helped as she adjusted to this.
"Likes, dislikes, your favorite foods, movies, sports, and everything that comes with it, once I see your gear, that unlocks everything I need about your personality now." she said and he smiled and nodded gently, as he looked over his shoulder at the foyer. As he was staring at something, she nodded. "What was on the movie list exactly that came out the last 2 years, with us going to a movie, as a family, Paige, want to come?" she asked and she nodded gently.
"Yeah there's about 15, but with this being Wyatt's first trip to the movie theater, Chris what was your book collection exactly?" she asked and he pulled out his miniaturized book shelf then and pulled out a spell. "Books revealed before these, make grow, so mote it be." he said and the shelf went from the size of a fun size candy bar, to a normal two sided book shelf. And she saw his taste in books then and she nodded. "Yeah scifi fan." she said with a chuckle then gently.
"Alright, with The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen out, we can go see that, and implement that into the study, it's always the person you least expect. Someone we trusted that turned out to be the traitor and the stalker." Piper said and Leo nodded, as she saw his taste for the old classics, and newer stories throughout the case. The books tagged with a green sticker and they nodded. "Your twin had another sticker color." Leo said and he nodded, smiling then.
"We treated you both the same, identical in everything, books, movies, sports, the only we can tell you apart is by your choice in favorite colors, these are forest green. What's your's twin's favorite color now?" she asked and he nodded. "Cranberry, borderline cherry red, we also got involved in martial arts training, he and I are completely equal, only he can match me. And move for move." he said and she nodded. "Austin's his favorite ranger." she said and he nodded.
"Like he said, with both of them immortal, that's going to go on all day, if they keep it up right now, they're like Logan and his female counterpart." he said and she nodded as Darryl started laughing at that. "Yeah that and Attack Of The Clones just came out last year, but taste in novels and we got preteen novels thrown into the mix, plus a toddler book thrown in there. And for good measure here, just be ready for trouble." Leo said and Darryl nodded in agreement.
"Not that I blame the gnome Professor for being irritated after these books are enchanted, or the source of history jumping out of it." Chris said and they started laughing. "That happens all the time in your alma mater, honey?" she said and he nodded. "Yeah, before we had everything going crazy here, one of the old literature resulted in a 1930's caper. To kill the one person coming out of it, before Aunt Paige got sucked into it, next year." he said and they nodded.
"Alright this we can handle, more baddies to fight, till we're retired finally, let me take a wild guess, the next one we're up against is Belthazor's counterpart. What's he look like exactly in truth, if he's someone we recognize?" Paige asked and he smiled. "Oded Fehr, he, his double, is a demon called Zankou, he's our next one, and like Belthazor this past year. After the nexus itself, we have to destroy the blasted thing." he said and she nodded in sternly to the news then.
"Oded hmm, didn't he play the Medjai warrior Ardeth Bey on The Mummy?" Darryl asked and he nodded. "Yep and trust me this next year results in the standard batch of trouble, if you guys busted me, just after you meet Gideon now." he said and they all nodded then. "Good point and now we can trust you fully, bits and pieces are all we need, to get an understanding. So you supply us with what we need, we do the rest, keep your childhood the same way now."
"Before everything went to heck." Piper said and she nodded in agreement and he smiled. "After the Ultimate Battle everything slows down to 3/4's it used to be, bridging the time. From you doing the fighting and till we were old enough to take over, so I'd say. Directly after Christy comes into the picture, prepare to separate to live normal lives. And once the fight is over at last, we, you guys, can move out as you each have your husband." he said and they nodded.
"She's the older sister of our ally, so we'll know her sister after she walks right into us, and after everything we ever did for her, she chooses us, over her sister now." Leo said and he nodded then. "Christy Jenkins has been brainwashed, by Dumain and the triad into thinking mom and the girls are going evil. So said what I remember got exchanged for a new variant, as you prove it now, you knows this, sometimes when doing so much good, you want to be selfish."
"From time to time, it's only human and Dumain had her thinking you don't care about the hundreds of innocents you saved at all." he said and they nodded sternly then. "What you remember from your early memories, said are from your 18 month birthday to your current age. But you're right, when someone you love leaves you I know how much it hurts here, that you feel like the whole world is out to get you now, but they, we, never split up to hurt you now."
"These things just happen, all that matters is finishing what we set out to do, and we get our happily ever after in all our cases." she said and Paige nodded in agreement. "Oh one more thing: thinking here next year, that's two years from now, in summoning up. In Wyatt's teenage self, you're seeing him like this, before he crashed." he said, passing her a picture of himself, his twin, their sister and good Wyatt as a 16 year old then and she nodded, smiling gently at that.
"Sure thing, as we get used to this, as for undirected sneak attacks at the moment, expect trouble at the movie theater as I heard about the rioting at the cinamex." Paige said and he nodded. "Our previous kill was yanking the killers off the silver screen, literally." Leo said and she nodded bemused. "Darryl, after the last demon actually made a house call, when you guys were going to mom's Halloween party, get ready to hit the deck, in case we get a new one."
"Or better here right now, said theatric demon, after mom was watching dad's rival." Chris said and he nodded. "Yeah I remember that and your father was beyond irritated, that your mother was called on, without knowing the exact circumstances to why. While he and I are dealing with the ones that were stealing kids eyesight." he said and Leo nodded. "And you thought you had it bad, being a normal cop, this is what happens when your best friends are protectors here."
"And of the innocent and at times demon magnets." he said and he nodded with a bemused smile. "Like the O'Connells are mummy magnets, we're magnets for repeated sneak attacks by the forces the of heck here." she said in response and he and Chris nodded smiling. "Nice wording Paige, but there it is, just keep the language PG in the house starting now. Aside from our bedrooms, so language." Leo said and she nodded as Piper nodded with a bemused smile.
"Yeah baby, I think you read Wyatt's thoughts, because in two years, he's picking up everything we're saying, so keep the profanity under control here." Piper said and he nodded. "The link between us, but yeah and going over said debate after the DOI showed up here. That does anyone else get sick of cleaning up after these guys right now." he said and she and Leo started laughing and nodded in agreement. "Agreed, they're beyond suicidal." she said bemused then.
"Long story here Paige, you're suffering inferiority complex, but just because you feel the need to live up to her reputation, shouldn't keep you from finding your own way about it. Just like higher hand lead you into your next innocent and we work our way through each one. In this case, our son just delivered the punchline, we work this into your cases around it now. Until both slam together, as we catch our Albus Dumbledore entity." Leo said and she nodded then.
"And like I said then, it's a question for the room here, every time a demon makes a house call, my curiosity gets peaked. To answer the other question, DOI stands for demon of illusion Paige, we had him yanking out the serial killers in horror movies. After the hero of Phoebe's favorite horror movie shoved him out of his." Piper said in response and she, and their friends, nodded. "Hence the rioting at multiple movie theaters." their cop friend said with a bemused smile.
"And again, we so need to monitor your viewing habits, that keep the noise and profanity from the tv set under control in the bedroom here." Leo said and Chris nodded to the orders. "And there it is, you're Prue reincarnated in personality, this is exactly what I need here now. Just to get my head back in the game, in all 3 of our cases." she added and he and Leo both nodded in agreement. "There's your basic parents for a teenager." he said and she nodded, smiling then.
"It's already slammed into place baby, you never have to say anything, we know you." Leo said gently and he nodded, as he crouched in front of him, looking into his eyes. And Chris pressed his forehead to his, and he closed his own, as a blur of memories started shooting through. Before he opened them, his eyes furious. "He's back, despite killing him 3 times, he's back!" he growled and Paige stood up in fury at that news. "Dang it!" their cop friend shouted in anger.
"Like she would later say, as Phoebe developed empathy next here right now, we're feeling suppressed here, that get out of our heads, our emotions are private here. That enough already at the moment, you need to control yourself, Phoebe." Piper said sternly and she swallowed. "And there's my first step, empathy blocking potion, fortunately now that you busted me, I don't have to worry about her blowing my cover anymore." he said and she and Leo nodded then.
"At the moment I'm praying they never decide to send Eric as well right now, because spotting turns between us, is enough that one has errands, whichever version. And the other stays at your side, while dad is dealing with the added trouble of digging up intel. And reporting back to the sextet upstairs right now." he said and Paige swung her arm up. "Point taken and if you guys are out of order, we use your twin, if this who you meant." she said and he nodded gently.
"One side of the family are all whitelighters, but the C never stood for Cole, but rather Coop, you'll see who I mean in time, but the arrows. Listen the most I have to go on, was what's going on right now, leading into her getting pregnant with me. And we move forward from there, but for safety's sake, we keep to ourselves, it's Abby all over again." he said and Leo nodded gently "Abby hmm, okay, we use that, it's someone we trust, it could be anyone here right now."
"But you arrived when Darryl and Sheila are in the house, and dad's learning about you pretty soon, not us, them or the sextet we trust most, the ones that made that notation. And to your father, about us making this work, as we added another piece to the equation. In you and your brother, or brothers, if your twin arrives soon, so obviously not us, or them, or even. Now, once we get the cops involved, the inspectors, them too now, not them, us or the sextet."
"There's the inner circle, it's someone outside it, someone above suspicion, someone here, that like the movie, we never considered: a mentor and a friend." Piper said and Sheila nodded in agreement then. "And to quote this right now, I know whatever happens sometime in the future was enough to scare him, but you guys are practically our family and we don't turn our backs on family." She said and Darryl nodded in agreement as he looked at Leo and Piper gently then.
"One option, leave town in 3rd trimester, so how could it possibly be me exactly, I'm out of town here now." He said and she nodded then. "Agreed right now, this way the precinct doesn't see this as an inside job, and we go to Cortez. And his replacement for direct opinions, after the elemental demon incident, so with that in mind. We tell the cops the truth and you're off the hook." She said and the duo nodded as Leo crossed his arms as he looked at her gently.
"Well until he reveals himself, I'm not trusting him anywhere near us or the baby, if it's Gideon, but that must be it, he set you up Darryl. To get you out of the way, but why is the next question right now." he said and she nodded sternly in agreement then. "You already know our past, honey, about the situations we get ourselves into here right now. And so we use that, without jumping forward too far in time here, we change a few things but don't change it fully."
"So stick it and keep to what we understand here baby, better yet, is just use years 2, 3 and 4, in your father's and my case to help us understand here. Your father said that the sextet wanted us to show we can make this work, that was 2 years ago. And as we add you, our children, to the equation, so with that, we use that as a template and work our way. One scenario at a time and we go from there, as clearly this is a repeat of year 3." she said and he nodded, smiling.
"Dan so help me god, there is no way she's going back to you, she married me and you're not convincing her here, my baby boy, or my baby sister is dangerous. Oh no, no, you are after you ended up in the middle." Leo said sternly and their friend nodded in agreement. "And like I said, sometimes the most simplest of things causes these guys to snap." Darryl said to him then. "So something happened here in your future, you came back to prevent it, okay we understand."
"No questions, just drop it Phoebe, it's his business and till he decides we're ready to know, we leave it alone." Leo said and she nodded with a sigh. "So you're my other nephew, well this is great, at least we know what little you grows into now." Paige Matthews said smiling and he nodded gently. "Side effects, I arrived not long after he's born, but ladies you remember this, you and Prue: 1975." he said and Piper nodded sternly in agreement to that opinion then.
"Yeah I remember that, what else, just the facts, if he had powers right from the womb?" she asked and he nodded. "For the same reason Phoebe had them right from the womb, the woogieman or now. And to everyone else the shadow demon, as Darryl said to Andy, why does it feel like they live here, answer: it's because Andy practically grew up here as a preschooler." he said and she covered her eyes. "I assume that's bad, Piper?" Paige asked and she nodded then.
"The woogieman in the basement, after Andy comes out, while I'm trying to end the fight between the guys, Andy suddenly pulls his gun on me. And I have to disarm him, but the woogie man in the basement is like someone seeing something only you can see. And then it has you so paranoid you start getting violent with everyone one here now. After realizing this, Andy came to check on it, and soon it's repeated cycle here." Darryl said and she nodded.
"A few weeks later we had another version of Nathan and Ricky hit the table, only in the case here. And of Jackson Ward, one of Alcatraz's high security prisoners, he was killing the descendants. And of the people that convicted for multiple murderer." He explained and she nodded in understanding then. "Didn't take long for you to get used to unusual things involving the family." She said and he nodded with a smile as Piper and Leo nodded gently in agreement.
"Yeah, but I figured if Andy could do this after growing up here, based on what he told me, so could I and I have the last 4.5 years now since here. But for the sake of our friendship, it's I need extra help here and that means calling in the only one that has seen your family life. And up close and personal after seeing Penny and Patty, before we saved you right now. So either Dave or Allison should be enough to help now." he said gently and she nodded smiling then.
"Paige, history lesson on the house and that remark as year one was like our's with you, we were working out the kinks. But this is why she preferred him being born in the house, it's also why she smothers him now, to my grand opinion. Chris is much more like me, but we're not playing favorites in the boys now, in truth here at the moment. As such, that explains the view point, I wanted him born in the hospital to prevent what he just told us from happening at all."
"To answer why it's so dangerous, you can go either way, if something is screwing with your morality And Andy and Darryl's investigations. It kept coming back to us at the time, before he came for our help, Andy was Prue's boyfriend. And they were preparing to get back together, before our version of the inspector that brought you into our life. And before it was revealed he was a demon, was keeping tabs on Andy working with us." Piper said and Paige nodded sternly.
"Hold it, Cortez?!" She said sharply and he nodded. "We don't have a choice, we have to tell him, whoever was attempting to investigate us later. During my second trimester and the commissioner, we're witches, every single perpetrator that died. Was a demon or, as is the case with Williamson, was drunk on power till it destroyed them. But it's time, so if there's trouble and they need supernatural help, they drop the lead, we finish the job, and rescue their case."
"Whoever it maybe, while, at the same time, they know that Chris and his brother, if his twin arrives as well, is our's and the line of born in 1987 comes to play. He's just been in boarding school, till the last month right now, before their baby selves are born. But one change in doing it this way, everything starts changing in the process here. But he's not wiping them from existence and his sister with them if I had a girl next later." she said and she nodded then.
"Time travel in either direction resulted in the standard here, of be careful what changes you make or you can wipe yourself from existence. And we're taking a leaf out of Back To The Future, as the only people he interacted with are us, Darryl and Sheila. And the cops, his grandparents and the sextet his father and I trust." she said to her then. "Well that gets me off the hook, they can handle this, I'm going on vacation." Darryl said gently and she nodded.
"Take 5." he added and grabbed the phone, dialed the precinct and waited. "Hey David, listen can you get the boss, your counterpart and come here, I'm at the girls house. Yeah we're breaking the truth to you, yes it involves her mother and grandmother's seance. Yeah seance, the short version is they're wiccans all good magic, okay thank you, see you soon." he said and hung it up. "They're coming, be here in 20." he said and then said it bemused gently to her.
"And again here, would you keep what you're getting into from getting out of the house, girls." Sheila added in exasperation gently. "Well be thankful Cole's out of the picture, but I meant it that he lost his mind entirely. And before a firefight between us, that's him and me, ensued here, Darryl, he lost his mind. As the remark of 'if he can't have her. Well then no one can', became the punchline, during the final 3 months here right now." she said and he nodded then.
And with stern look at the news then. "Hey Uncle Darryl, Aunt Alicia." Chris said and they smiled gently. "Baby, alright you're here to protect your brother that's fine, but if something happened to make your uncle want to stop covering for you. Well we're taking our own hiatus, before your birthday baby." Sheila Morris, his wife, said gently and her husband nodded in agreement. "Agreed, the job is not destroying our relationship." He said to that in agreement then gently.
"As for the other question here right now, and Andy explained this me, after he recovered from that brief burst of insanity. He said that the house was built in the center of a pentagram, after Prue's friend at the auction house. Then dragged up spiritual nexuses, the house was built in the center of a pentagram, spiritual nexus, could be an overwhelming source of good, or evil. As you saw what his getting the house resulted in, you here, buried in good." he said and she nodded.
"Yeah that and he was conceived in the house, speeds up the powers, can go either way, if something is screwing with his morality, and something had. Alright so he went from good to suddenly so good, he became evil in your present, killing both sides alike, that it?" she asked and he looked down and she nodded in fury then. "Who was left when you shot yourself back to now, baby?" She asked and he wiped the tears off his face, and the quintet nodded concerned.
"Only ones left are me, Eric and him in our family, the entire family are whitelighters in her's, dad." he said and Leo nodded sternly to the news. "That's as much as you can tell us, as we hunt down who caused him to crash, we understand, baby. But you see us as you remember us now, how long are you staying exactly?" he asked and he nodded. "Prue and Andy gave till my birthday, but you mind 6 years?" he asked and Piper nodded, and he smiled in delight then.
"Which version as if she wanted us to know you on sight, she got her wish, we know you're mine, so everything is fine, you gave enough we can handle this." Leo said and he nodded, "That's the second, my double, age 20, arrived, just before your promotion dad, it's another 4 situations down, you'll see what I'm talking about later, but the elders are Jedi, we're Jedi." he said and Leo nodded to the news, as he hugged him and he tightened his arms around him.
"Odin, Zola, Orlin, Sandra!" he shouted out and the quartet and another woman appeared and they nodded. "Guys, my son arrived from the future, he's helping us hunt down the evil, good or both that targeted my newborn son. Seems that whoever turned him traumatized him so severely he swore to kill anyone evil. Only he suffered the chosen one complex and the pressure turned inward and destroyed him, Cole's back, as Belthazor." he said and the quintet nodded.
"Possible pre breakdown, he saw whoever killed Chris's adult self, and was barely killed by him, himself, before you blasted them, whoever it is." she said and he nodded. "He said you made me an elder, but even we, at times have to neutralize each other. We have someone suffering an Albus Dumbledore like complex here." he said and the leader of the sextet nodded sternly to the news. "Lovely, well you know it's not us, we're above suspicion." His counterpart said to that.
"Could be an elder, it is, and that's a good reason to go rogue, before you return to your path, Leo, we'll let that go, as you killed a rogue elder. Just to save the future, that's fine, we'll let that go right now, but son, you need to get your credentials arranged. With you here a while for the next sum years here." Odin said to him then and he nodded. "My name is Christopher Perry Halliwell/Wyatt, I'm their unborn son." he said and the quintet nodded smiling gently then.
"There's two choices here, but that decision 18 months ago, after you put my parents in probation, you knew, like grandma, they broke the rules. Before you made an exception finally, saying they had to prove they can make it work, both married. And having children, me back she can now." he said and Odin nodded in understanding. "Well pretending you been here all this time, is the easier option, by having the cleaners change everyone's memories now here."
"By your library cards, school registrations, your awards as a player and so on, we all knew who the parent was, in the maternal side, you look just like your mother. But the boarding school we sent you to's magic school, as you got your powers under control." Zola said and he nodded. "Magic, you mean something like Hogwarts, that type of thing?" Paige asked and he nodded. "They're, aside from the staff, wearing normal street clothes, yes." he said and she nodded.
"Yeah well I think your headmaster maybe suffering an Albus Dumbledore complex, he never intended to have Harry survive at the time. This could be the same thing at the moment Odin, but we just let her have it big time for this, so just pretend they had him. Before you allowed
With this book, they knew he was an anchor, or just tell the Order, that Harry was never meant to survive the final battle by telling him he's an anchor. This could be the same thing, it doesn't matter how much we argue with this, his mind is singlemindedly focused on the fact. That this is for the greater good, he kills Wyatt." She said and Piper crossed his arms sternly then. "Odin, Sandra, Zola, there's no need for said test, I know where my loyalties stand here in truth."
"So with that is next year is an undercover mission, year 7, after Chris is born." He said and they both nodded gently. "Agreed, risking a fatal shootout, if we have another Andy is the only option we have right now. Alright after you stop Gideon if he's working in an alliance with a demon or the parallel, his evil double now, your next undercover now. In operations is we see which version is best, if the Avatars made a come back." She said and Odin nodded to that.
"Then we shoot to kill Gideon." Odin said and Leo nodded in agreement. "Yeah that and despite Cole losing his powers, and he's stuck in the demonic plane. Is we need to blow away his entire regiment." he said and Odin nodded. "Well like you Leo, Piper, to us everything was fine, till Cole came into your lives, we're just glad Chris showed up, we get extra help. In protecting you, he can look after his brother, but son, you're the girls new whitelighter and Leo, early promotion."
"You're his mentor, so training Chris, as a whitelighter, you should be focusing on your family, instead of multiple clients. But as we decided, we want you to show you can handle your jobs, as married, well now it's with children in the house." he said and Leo, Piper and Chris nodded smiling. "That's the easy part, I learned to multi-task Odin, but it's easy if you allow yourself to want be what you are, instead of living double lives." he said and the family and Elders smiled.
"And that's what's about to destroy Anakin, living double lives, he got desperate to save Padme and the final weeks of her pregnancy, and the pressure became too much. And he crashed and burned and became Darth Vader, okay got it." Paige said and he nodded. "Just use that and a headmaster with a double motive and you got big bad now, I'm not sure. Though what I can say is everyone outside us and the cops are a suspect." he said and the Elders nodded sternly.
"It's going to take a very great evil to undo whatever he caused, right before Chris was born, and your father knows what I mean. So first I heal Chris, and then I hunt down Gideon and whoever he's working with right now, but he nearly killed one of my sons. I'm not losing them both, so he wants a war, he's going to get it now." He said and Piper nodded in agreement. "Like we said, we'll let that go, as this is a very deep betrayal, Leo." Sandra said and he nodded.
"Mom actually had a severe aggravation with you, after they realized it was an elder, guys, Sandra." Chris said and they nodded. "Uh huh, we understand we never made it easy son, after your grandmother and Sam. But you know: if it is one of us, treat him with the utmost caution, I carry the stern tone of one of your more irritating. In science fiction characters, but you know we agreed: that you show you can make it work and you have." Odin said and Piper nodded.
"We know and I just grew up now, that thank you for this, if not being magic means I never see him turn into who he is, I accept with open arms, as we train our children. As they get older, as field the time from now till they're young adults themselves." she said and his counterpart hugged her and she tightened her arms around him. "If not Sam, just call me and I'll come and son, Leo, it runs in the family, son, Piper, it's me." he said and she smiled as she realized it then.
"Christopher?!" she said and he nodded smiling. "Runs in the family, like him I was a doctor, when he was a cub, and I died, but after doing years of saving lives. I gained my wings. He got his medical training from me honey, so though looking your father's age of 57 now. I'm 20 years older then that, so I'm actually no older then your grandmother at the moment here. So my great grandsons, and you my daughter in law baby girl." he said and she nodded smiling then.
"Christopher Leonard Wyatt, alright got it, and nice to meet you, Odin, Zola, Sandra, Orlin, with him being family, we'd like it if if you assigned him to us, as he trains Leo, in his promotion. And he trains the twins, if we got Chris's twin arriving soon here." she said and the quartet nodded then. "That's fine Piper, if it really is Gideon, it's a go between, but he's not interacting with you directly, starting now." Zola said and she nodded, as Wyatt looked at them gently in response.
"Making the transition easy for us to understand, that's all you can do, but your daddy, Wyatt, is not gone for good, but rather, he's our go between with the Angel leaders now, before promotion. And then daddy home all the time, doing what he did, as a hobby again, but daddy and me. We're not separating, we just had a problem or two, and brother arriving fixed that between us." Piper said and the sextet nodded in agreement as the newborn nodded then.
And Sandra chuckled at that remark, running his hands through his hair, Chris looked between them. "Guys the very last of the situation before his promotion now, resulted in killing half of you as the Elders, the Titans escaped. There is only one option, but it actually results in me offsetting Wyatt's powers, I'm thrice blessed. But like mom, Prue and Paige, I'm born in the hospital, I also stayed good, keeping on the path you set for me, but my twin and I now."
"We are like mom and dad, somebody triggered his downfall." He said and the quintet nodded and in shock to the news then gently. "If you're going where I think you are with this, with the titans back on the loose this one option is highly dangerous, but if it pans out now. Then your father just saved the world from the forces of evil, but that option is an emergency situation, only once, once done the promotion activates and your father starts setting his own hours."
"After that, Leo your only client is your family after that now." Odin said and Leo nodded as he sank into the chair at that remark, knowing what Chris meant then. "Nothing's changed, I just became an elder, and can set my own hours now honey, but we implement here. In that single option, and said 5 weeks vacation rightfully deserved, Valhalla is off the coast. And of the India, somewhere." He said and Piper nodded smiling in relief, knowing there it was at the news.
"Just be thankful I arrived now rather then just as they attack in the attic right now, or you're all thinking I'm trouble here, when I'm just like Paige and Wyatt, and you know, currently only three of both sides, so why is that I have the same powers as Paige does." He said and they all nodded in agreement, knowing he was right. "Answer, we found this out sooner then, in the middle of Bianca dropping in unexpectedly to check on things." Leo said and Piper nodded
"Well now the question why is Wyatt a threat and he and I aren't, baby Cole, was also a half breed, why just Wyatt, not us too." Paige said and he crossed his arms. "Born in the house, you can go either way, if something is screwing with your morality for years." he said and they nodded. "Using my powers for good, but he's suffering the same psychosis that Riddle was." he said and Leo crossed his. "The one with the most power wins, is that it?" he said to him then.
"Yeah I yanked a pre-emptive strike, and we're destroying every evil, or good/bad combination there is to destroy here, But it could be the headmaster himself, once he learns I know Wyatt could crash, he's thinking only by killing him. Can save the future, but that could be what causes it, by his in trying to kill him, he saw him stab me with the athame." he said and he and Odin nodded. "Instead of saving the greater good, he destroys it." Odin said sternly to this then.
"Idea right now, call him here from Magic school, and we know it now, the truth spell." Paige said and Odin nodded sternly again. "Agreed, the spell wears off after 24 hours, he's never going to remember he told us at all, but this is not personal gain. But rather pre-emptive strike against him, as we take out the other demons now. In between him and Barbus, so safer city and we're working as one now, in all of our cases here now." Sandra said and Piper nodded.
"Wyatt is Anakin, you're Obi-wan and we're the Jedi council, his family, and our good/bad duo is Palpatine and Dooku, part two just came out last year." Paige said and Leo nodded. "There's a magic binding spell here, so just bind his witch powers, after he's 3 months old here, mom, dad, you'll see why after you do that. As he can get by on his whitelighter, so I can protect him, like a real big brother would." he said and she nodded smiling and Phoebe swallowed hard at the idea.
"Alright that's plenty, the woulda and coulda is more then plenty, but you can't go back, by just interacting with us, you altered the future now." Orlin said and he nodded. "Vote's unanimous now, son, you're staying for the next 7 years now, as you get your last 8 years schooling. And start college in our present, Leo, we're, once the school reveals itself to the girls. Arranging a door, so they and you can come and go as you please." Zola said and he nodded, smiling gently.
"Like we said Piper, we wanted you to prove you can make this work, and now we added your entire family to it, can you do it with children involved now." Sandra said gently and she nodded smiling then. "All too easy, if mum and Grams can do it, I can do it now, we're on hiatus, but looks like we got trouble, before Leo's promotion now. Sandra, Odin, I'm taking a leaf out of our last book after we had Abby stalking Prue now." she said to them and they nodded gently then.
"Nice thinking we can use that right now Piper." Orlin said gently and Odin nodded. "We need to bend the rules slightly, the cops, right now, only Darryl and his wife know." she said and they nodded, "Well there it is, but after the trolls once was enough, but listen you little buggers, but come near us or my children again and you're asking to be cooked here." she said and Paige tried to keep from laughing. "Victor's going to agree with that, honey." Leo said to her then.
"Watch it young man, before you get arrested for grand theft auto in catching the alter ego to our demon here." Odin said bemused and Paige started laughing and Chris nodded to the orders. "Not cool right now, if he tries run me down." he said with a bemused smile then. "I know everyone is getting uptight here, but that's no excuse to break the rules. Or, now, the personal gain consequences result in that." Odin said and she and Leo nodded in agreement.
"Attic." he said and they nodded, and he created the wiccan sign. "Well this should be a real eye opener that one of us, in our ranks, as elders, is vigilante." Zola said sternly and Odin and Sandra nodded in agreement. "And to be quite honest, we never agreed with this, he kept arguing that Wyatt is a threat to the future, and Sandra said the even bigger one. Is if Pratt finds out about us, you, it's turning into the future we sent you to." Odin said and Piper nodded.
"You disagreed with him and he decides to go solo, only his hopes we distrusted Chris on his arrival were dashed, by Prue sending him here and saying to turn me into a teenage boy." she said and he nodded gently. "Leo as this is your son, we're leaving you to do the execution orders, we just leave Barbus, if he's involved, alone for another year or so." Sandra said and he nodded sternly, knowing this decision would be hard, but for the greater good, they had to.
"For those who want the truth revealed, Opened hearts and secrets unsealed, From now until it's now again, After which the memory ends. Those who now are in this house, Will hear the truth from other's mouths." she recited and he flashed and he nodded to Leo, who nodded. "Gideon!" he called out then and he orbed into the room. "Yes Leo?" he asked and then saw Chris. "So you're the young whitelighter?" he asked and Chris nodded.
"Witch/lighter actually, the second of 3, counting Paige, at least she has a walking, talking witch/lighter to talk to, though 26 years in the past, if born in '87 right now to be exact. She's my favorite aunt, mom and me, we're beyond close, dad and me, mentor and apprentice. Now in truth, Headmaster." he said and he nodded in shock. "Who are you exactly, after Paige was revealed to be Patty and Sam's daughter?" he said and Chris said it sternly at that remark.
"Name's Chris Perry Halliwell/Wyatt, Gideon, I'm Piper and Leo's son, they're my parents, I'm here to save my brother from turning evil, by finding whoever caused him to turn. By being traumatized enough to cause it." he said and he nodded in shock and his parents smiled at the reveal as Paige smiled in delight at the news that he told them the truth. "To be quite honest, I find it slightly absurd that coming up on his birthday and my conception date here, in truth."
"You would choose then to put the school back door on my family staircase, and when they're starting to trust me, in my young adult double's cases. And when dad is training me here right now, leading into the final 10 month countdown. Why you choose in 6 weeks after whatever to get the school back door on my family staircase?" he asked and Gideon explained that, as Odin crossed his arms sternly, knowing what he heard next would be enough to have him executed.
'The Truth Is Out There, And It Hurts, nice title for said episode, and bang on, saved from stabbing him in the heart, I can fix that, my round robin double caused.' Piper thought gently at the reveal and knew Leo thought it too. "To get closer to your mother." he said and Chris nodded. "Why?" he asked and he said it. "Too see how much power Wyatt carries." he said and Chris nodded. "Why are you so interested in my baby brother here?" he said and he said it.
