"Dammit." Growled Chris, throwing the scrying crystal across the room. Pressing a hand to his forehead, he could feel the faint heat of a fever returning for vengeance.

Flopping down on the couch, a thick cough bursting from his aching chest. Thing just weren't working out for him today and judging by the tinkling of orbs they were about to get worst.

"Chris!" He winced, feeling like crying when he felt the pain in his head spike significantly, he just couldn't do this…couldn't they be mad some other time.

Maybe if he just stayed quiet, and ignored them they'd leave," Chris!" He groaned, hearing them enter the back room, and he knew there was no avoiding their wrath.

Chris cracked open a tired eye, looking up at the four angry faces eyes trained on him," What happened?" He sighed figuring it'd be good to figure out just exactly what happened though he already had an idea.

"Well first you come into our home yelling at the top of your lungs!" She yelled, watching the boy flinch away from her words, but Piper was too angry to take pity on him," Then you punch Leo, and orb off and now your acting like nothing happened."

Chris wasn't prepared to deal with this right now, too many feelings were getting stirred up and he just couldn't do this now.

He got up to retrieve his scrying crystal going back to his initial plan of ignoring the Charmed Ones and praying for them to just leave.

"You're just going to stand there and ignore us." He winced, hearing Paige's voice the higher pitch exasperating the dull ache filling his head.

"Please." He groaned, pressing his hands to his temples trying to soothe the ache," I already have a migraine from Astral projecting, just let me fix this."

He was caught off guard by someone taking him by the arms and slamming him against the wall. If he wasn't seeing stars at the moment Chris would have realized sooner that the person was Leo. "Fuck it Chris, your lying." Leo snarled," That's all you've been doing since you've got here his lie."

Chris didn't know what happened, but something snapped then and there, and he shoved Leo off himself.

" Fuck you Leo." He growled, not caring that the sisters were watching," You have no right to judge my actions, I've been working none stop trying to save your son because your lame ass couldn't do that much." He knew that he should stop but he couldn't," I'm sick as a dog and I've hardly slept so just back the fuck off."

He was breathing heavily after his little outburst, black spots already starting to dance in front of his eyes as the previous adrenaline started to melt away.

A miserable cough was already threatening to burst from his chest as he could feel their judgement.

Phoebe's heart clenched guilty as released a drawn-out sigh feeling the overwhelming stream of emotions from Chris start to ebb away. Only to replaced mix emotions she wasn't even ready to pick through.

Guilt being one of the one that stuck out to her the most.

Chris didn't always make the best of decisions, but it wasn't fair for them to bombard him with all of this especially when he was clearly ill, at least not without giving him a chance to explain.

The stood there in silence not knowing where to start to fix this problem.

~Golden Gate Bridge~

Chris bent nearly in half muffling a nasty sounding sneeze into cupped hands, wrinkling his nose disgusts as he wiped the mess on his pants legs.

He sat leaning against a pillar, pulling his thin coat tighter around his shoulder in a desperate attempt to get warm.

It was freezing up on the bridge, but it was the only place he could think of that felt safe. There was no point in trying to leave now, not with his power acting as weird as they were, so he'd just have to stay up there until someone came looking for him.

A familiar irritation wormed its way into his sinuses bending him in half with a miserable fit of sneezes. He sniffled scrubbing at his nose with his wrist trying to soak up some of the wetness seeping from his red tinged nose.

Putting his arms around his torso as a harsh shiver shook him, he prayed that someone found him sooner rather than later, as he didn't know how much longer he'd last up here.

But he was even more worried that nobody was looking for him.

~Back P3~

Phoebe eventually broke the silence, "We have to find him." She said, letting her more sensitive and empathetic side take control now that things had started to simmer down a little.

"No, we don't." Piper said, still boiling in response to Chris's actions but even without Phoebe's powers they could still tell she was feeling a little conflicted on the subject.

"Piper I know your mad, but you didn't feel what I felt." She said, standing her ground against her older sister not ready to back down," He's hurting, I know we don't trust him, but we've always given him a chance to explain himself." Phoebe told her trying to appeal to her sense of logic.

Piper still didn't seem ready to budge on the subject," Piper he wasn't lying, that boys sick as dog." She said exasperated, ready to be just as stubborn," And I don't care what you say I'm going to find him, come on Paige."

"Now why would you do that when I'm already here." A voice said, startling them as they turned around coming face to face with they Chris they'd met before.

"Told you so." Phoebe said, nudging Piper with her elbow earning a slap to the shoulder from the eldest.

Paige cautiously move towards the box of crystals, wanting to trap astral Chris in a circle of them, but the astral projection was already one step ahead of them.

Sending the box flying into his own hands," Oh so close." He sneered," Now that would be cheating if I let you have your toys."

Piper looked ready to blow him to piece," Tsk tsk, Piper I really wouldn't." He taunted," Anything you do to me happens to the real deal."

She lowered her hands reluctantly, still giving the astral projection a menacing look that would of frighten any demon.

Chris just smirked," There we go, see no need for hostility." He said, looking at his nails casually taking little interest in them or any of their threats," Besides I wouldn't dare hurt a Charmed one."

He looked up giving Leo a pointed look," Now Leo on the other hand…" He paused, grinning," I'd kill for that opportunity."

"What do you want!?" Exclaimed Paige just wanting to get straight to the point.

"I want you to stop looking for me." Chris shot back," I'm not going back into that goody little two shoes, that Chris is no fun at all with all of his silly rules." He said sticking his tongue out," Boring"

"And what makes you think were going to that?" Piper asked, glaring daggers at him.

If Phoebe didn't know better, she would have thought the astral man flinched a little at Pipers tone, but she chocked it up to her imagination.

Chris put a finger to his chin acting like he was thinking about this," Well gee I don't know." He said, before his mouth curled into a little grin," Scrying pretty useless when there's two of us running around." And with that the astral projection disappeared in a flurry of dark orbs.
