Chapter 1
AN IMPORTANT: So, it has been a very long time since I have written a charmed story. I am going to delete my Siblings Reunited story once I post this as a lot of those elements will be in this story. This will be a Chris revelation story with added elements. I haven't read the comics (but have looked into details) so details won't completely match up, as there are things I've had as headcannons since Charmed first ended that I am pretty attached too. There are a few important things to be aware of:
It's power of four not power of three
Paige was raised with her sisters; she and Phoebe were best friends as kids and Prue was extremely protective of her, she helped raise Paige even more than she did Piper and Phoebe. They didn't find out that she was their half-sister, or that Sam was her father until they met Sam in season 2. (Leo couldn't explain why her teleporting (which is what they thought) looked like orbs before that
Prue is alive and both she and Paige have forms of telekinesis
Andy is alive, because of Paige's presence she was able to use her powers to save him and he and Prue got married at the time of what should have bene Charmed Again. He and Prue decided to keep living at the manor as Prue knows how important the power of four is.
I may eventually write or more specifically continue/do a major re-write of a story I started a long time ago which addresses all episodes of Charmed with both Prue and Paige; if that's something people are interested in.
This is set post Chris-Crossed, so they know that Chris is Part witch but not that he came back to stop Wyatt from turning evil or who he is.
Ever since finding out that their neurotic Whitelighter from the future is actually part witch the Charmed Ones have been even more suspicious of him. As they have become sick of getting no answers when they ask him questions the two oldest Halliwell sisters are in the Attic, by the Book of Shadows.
"Do you really think we can find out a way?" Piper asks his older sister.
"I think we should be able to put together something. It's making sure Andy and Leo can be involved that might be difficult," Prue admits, as she flips to the book. "If Phoebe and Paige are really going to leave then I want to know what Chris is hiding before they are so far away," Prue admits, as she can't help but be suspicious of Chris.
"It would be good," Piper admits.
"Piper, I don't know if we should let them go," Prue admits, looking up from the book to look at her sister as she has a bad feeling about them leaving.
"We have to," Piper informs her. "They shouldn't keep sacrificing what they truly want," Piper says as it was her idea to let Phoebe and Paige to move out, and for the first time she managed to convince Prue to do something.
"No, I guess you're right," Prue admits, with a sigh. "It's just going to be so strange without them," Prue comments as over the past five years she has gotten used to being so close to her sisters, and it's something she doesn't want to lose.
"Yeah," Piper says. "Come on, we've got to figure out this spell soon. Phoebe and Paige will be home soon, and it won't be long until Andy's home from dropping Wyatt at Darryl's," Piper says, as they didn't want Wyatt around when they try this.
"True," Prue admits, and the two oldest Halliwell sisters get to work.
Over an hour has passed since Prue and Piper started to work on the spell that they hope will give them the answers they seek. As they worked on the spell Andy has returned from dropping Wyatt at Darryl's but Phoebe and Paige haven't returned home just yet.
"I think that should work," Piper says as she re-reads the spell that she and Prue created.
"Even for me?" Andy asks surprised.
"I think so," Piper confirms.
"Where are those two?" Prue asks, annoyed, as she pulls her phone and calls her sisters. As she places the call, she, Piper, and Andy hear the phone ringing from the stairway and so she hangs up her phone just as Phoebe and Paige walk into the attic.
"What is going on?" Paige asks.
"LEO," Piper calls, so that they don't have to explain more than once, and seconds later Leo appears.
"Is everything okay?" Leo asks, as he appears.
"I was wondering the same thing," Phoebe comments, looking between Prue and Piper as they have clearly done something.
"There is a lot Chris isn't saying," Piper reveals.
"That's an understatement," Paige comments.
"He hid the fact that he's part Witch, which begs the question, what else is he hiding; I for one want to know," Prue comments.
"Same," Piper says. "Prue and I wrote this," Piper says, handing the spell over to Phoebe. "It should give us all the answers we need," Piper explains, knowing that if the spell isn't right then Phoebe will be able to tell.
"All six of us hold hands, with Leo and Andy each between two of us, and we call Chris and start the spell as he appears," Prue explains.
"That should work," Phoebe says, as she hands the spell back to Prue.
Over the next few minutes the group of six move around the attic until they are standing together holding hands in the order of Piper, Leo, Paige, Phoebe, Andy, and then Prue; with both Prue and Piper holding copies of the spell so all four sisters can see it.
"You should call, he always come when you call," Paige says, looking at Piper.
"He doesn't…." Piper starts to say, but then she sees the looks on her sisters faces. "Fine. CHRIS!" Piper calls and seconds later Chris appears. The second Chris appears the four sisters start the spell;
Here the words, hear the rhyme,
Head the hope within our minds
To learn why our lives have become Intertwine
And why our new Whitelighter has been so undefined
To make us no longer wary
Help our family learn the truth of Christopher Perry
As soon as the sister finish chancing the four sisters, Andy, Leo, and Chris all disappear in white lights.
San Francisco
October 16th 2026
When the light fades the group of seven find themselves in an alley. While the sisters, Leo and Andy don't recognize where they are Chris unfortunately does.
"What have you done?" Chris asks, sounding both angry and worried, looking at the sisters with a look of betrayal on his face.
"What we had to to finally get some answers," Piper says angrily.
"Mel, need you! And bring someone with you!" Chris yells as he cannot get everyone to the one safe place alone.
"Is this the future?" Andy asks, looking around, and honestly Chris is glad that because of the alley they can't really see how destroyed the city is.
"Unfortunately," Chris says as ten demons shimmer in, so instinctively he moves so that he is Infront of his family; not that they know that's who they are, but Chris knows that could change in a minute as he may have to demonstrate just how powerful he really is.
"Chris, Lord Wyatt will be glad to know you've finally returned," The demon, who is clearly in charge, says.
"Did he say…?" Piper asks shocked, looking between her sisters, who look just as shocked.
"He's not going to find out," Chris says, before using his telekinesis to send the lead demon into a pile of broken pipes; killing him.
Seconds after Chris kills the lead demon two people, who are clearly no older than twenty, appear in the alley, one by orb, and one via a form of teleport that is a white fade.
The girl who orbed, who is wearing a leather jacket and jeans, is about 5'5, has long brown hair the same shade as Chris, that is tied back in a ponytail, and brown eyes. While the girl who faded, who is wearing a red crop top and light blue jeans, has long extremely dark brown hair, which is down, green eyes, is 5'8, and if the sisters weren't so shocked, they would realize she looks a hell of a lot like Prue.
"Seriously?" the shorter of the girls asks Chris, looking annoyed, as she takes notice of who is with Chris, and honestly there is a part of her that cannot believe what she is seeing. While the taller girl just looks at everyone, clearly surprised, though her eyes linger on Andy for longer than the others.
"Wasn't my idea, Mel," Chris informs his little sister. "But we need to get them off the street," Chris explains.
"No kidding," The taller girl says, clearly sarcastic, and she sends an extremely strong telekinetic blast at the demons, causing all the demons to go flying.
"Wow," Prue says as she knows that is a sign of a incredibly strong telekinetic.
"But we cannot let them get back to him and tell him," the taller girl says, there being worry clear in her voice.
"Yeah, I know Trish, that's why I called," Chris says, rolling his eyes as Melinda blows up one of the demons, in the exact same way her mother can.
"How about we fight now, talk later," Melinda suggests, as she conjures an athame and it appears in her hands in orbs. Once it has appeared Trish uses telekinesis to causes the athame to fly into one of the demon's chests and then fly back into Mel's hand. "Here. You need this more than me," Melinda says and she throws the athame at her brother and as it flies through the air he sends it flying into another demons chest.
As Chris kills the fourth demon another sends an energy ball towards the people from the past and so Trish moves quickly and stands in front of her family. As she stands in front of her family Trish uses her power of deflection, which causes a white energy shield, that looks the same as how she faded, to appear from her hand and sends the energy ball straight back at the demon, killing him too.
Seeing the power of deflection Leo is shocked as he knows how extremely rare that power is, and he knows the fact that it is white shield says a lot about just how good of a person she is.
As the demons realize that they are outnumbered one tries to shimmer away, but Chris is able to use his telekinesis to send him flying into one of the alley walls as he shimmers, and Melinda blows up another demon that looks like it is about to leave.
"Okay, well, this is taking too long. Mel, you're up," Chris says to his little sister, as while he knows it is going to lead to a lot of questions about how Melinda is so powerful it is better to get rid of the demons and get everyone to safety.
"You got it," Melinda says, stepping forward, in front of her family, and after a couple of seconds of concentrating she raises her hands and causes an energy wave which once it hits the demons causes each of them to turn to ash while also damaging the alley a little.
While the sisters, Leo and Andy are clearly confused, and impressed, Chris knows that he cannot let them dwell on that as it will lead to too many questions that he can't answer.
"Who are you?" Phoebe asks as she tries to get a read on their emotions.
"This is my sister Mel, and our cousin Trish," Chris says, pointing to each of them as he introduces, feeling glad that his sister brought one of their cousins who doesn't have an obvious Halliwell name as while Trish is most commonly short for Patricia, which is the case in Trish's situation, it can be a name by itself. "We've got to get out of here, now," Chris says, his voice hurried, as he knows it's not long before other demons will arrive. "I'll take Piper and Leo. Mel you take Phoebe and Paige. Trish you take Prue and Andy," Chris instructs.
"Leo and I can orb ourselves," Paige comments, feeling information overload.
"Not where we're going," Trish says as she puts her hands on either of her parents' shoulders, as Chris does the same with his parents, and Melinda does the same with her aunts; and seconds later they all disappear, whether by orbing or teleporting.
After disappearing from the alley, the group of nine appear on a home basketball court.
"Follow us," Melinda says, and they head up grey stone steps. While Melinda is in front right behind her is Prue, Andy, Phoebe, Page, Piper and Leo with Chris and Trish bringing up the rear.
Once they head up stone steps, they get to a grace patch which is right next to a very large circular grey stone driveway and the visitors from the past realize that they are at what looks like a huge grey mansion.
"What is this place?" Prue asks curious, as she feels pretty confused.
"It's called Sanctuary," Trish explains.
"But to us it's home," Melinda explains, as she leads everyone across the driveway, past the double glass entry doors, and towards the garage.
"We good?" Chris asks Trish in a quiet voice as while he knows that both Trish and Melinda will be able to tell if they have a clear path Trish is who he is currently closest too.
"Yeah," Trish says as she glances through the doors and sees inside the white open planned house several teenagers, all of whom Melinda, Chris and Trish know, walk out of the black door on the upper landing.
"Shouldn't we be going in the front door?" Phoebe asks.
"No, the fewer people who know you are here the better," Chris explains, knowing that if anyone who isn't a Halliwell finds out they are their then it's going to be bad, as Melinda gets to the three-car garage. Rather than heading to one of the roller doors Melinda heads to the door on the side which is closest to the house where there is a keypad on the door, which Melinda types on causing the door to open.
Once the door is open everyone heads inside and everyone from the past realize that one part of the garage's has been sealed off from the others and looks like a makeshift medical area.
"This is a field infirmary," Leo says as he recognizes the layout straight away, and because she knows she is going to have to use her power Trish walks fast and so she is right behind Melinda.
"Yep," Melinda says, trying to keep the anger out of her voice, and instead of leading everyone through the door that is right next to the door they just came through Melinda leads them to the other end of the garage where she once more puts a code in door that they head through.
After heading through the door, the group head up half a flight of white marble stairs, pass double closed doors, and up more marble stairs. On the next landing they walk past an open door; looking inside the room everyone sees that there are two sets of three bunk bunkbeds inside a room with white walls, like the rest of the building.
Not stopping Melinda leads everyone up more stairs and then along a catwalk. To the right there is a small room which has a single set of three bunkbeds, and on the other side you can see down below, but because of a spell people below can't see above.
Leading everyone along the catwalk, past a small area with two brown leather armchairs, they walk through an open black door and into what was once a closet but now is an area where there is a double bed and some closed cupboards. As he is the last one to walk through the door Chris closes it behind him. Walking to the left the group walk through a gap between the wall of the room and the wall of what was a closet and into a bedroom; which just like everywhere else has white marble floors and white walls.
Due to Trish reacting fast she has used her powers to draw the beige curtains on the window which is the entire wall straight across from the gap of the wall, so that no one from the past sees the very clear view of a destroyed city. Rather than seeing the city the visitors from the past just see two three bunk bunkbeds, one being horizontal against the wall that is shared with the closet while the other is vertical right next to it. A little father down, connected to the area where the beds are with no wall between, they see a small open area where there is a beige couch in the middle, which if it wasn't for the curtains would have a clear view of the city, dark wood shelves around with supplies that everyone recognizes as magic supplies and potions. On the other side of the sitting area there is a light brown door that leads to a massive bathroom and another closet that was turned into another room with a single double bed and some supplies.
"Chris, we want answers, and we want them now," Piper tells Chris and all three of the future kids recognize the tone of Piper's as being the one that you obey.
"And I need to figure out how to get you home without screwing up the entire future," Chris explains.
"Look, we need to go talk to some people," Melinda says, as she takes off her jacket revealing a black tank top. "When we get back we'll give you any answers we can, they just might not be the ones you want," Melinda says, dropping her jacket on the couch, before heading out of the black door which is behind the couch with Chris and Trish.
"Bathrooms' through there if you need it," Trish says, pointing to the door before following her cousins through the door, purposely making sure to close it behind her as she knows it will automatically lock.
Once they are all through the door Chris turns to his sister and cousin and hugs them both at the same time.
"I've missed you so much," Chris says as he hugs them both.
"We've missed you too," Trish says.
"But don't let it go to your head," Melinda says, smirking slightly, as they break apart, and once they break apart they head down the spiral stairs. "Look, Chris, I'm sorry about Bianca," Melinda tells her brother.
"You hated Bianca," Chris says to his sister, an angry edge to his voice.
"I didn't trust Bianca," Melinda corrects. "But I know what she meant to you, so I am sorry that you lost someone else you love," Melinda explains.
Walking down the stairs Chris looks around and sees a lot of people around, and he can't help but glance out of the huge floor to ceiling windows to their left, as that entire wall on both the street level and this one is glass, through which you can see basically all of destroyed San Francisco.
"How many people we got here these days?" Chris asks curious.
"Forty-three," Trish answers as they get to the lower floor.
"Good, that's good," Chris says.
Behind the stairs upstairs, and the stairs downstairs, there is huge square table that sits 20 people. To their left, against the window, that lead to the huge balcony, where there are three tables of different sizes, and stair that lead to the large grassed area, is a brown leather couch, and on either end going vertically are two more couches. To their right not far form the foot of the stairs is a wall with a huge dark woods weapon cabinet.
Walking past the weapons Melinda, Chris, and Trish walk around the edge of a huge padded martial arts mat, and through an opening into a corridor. Walking along the corridor, which has weapons, potions, and supplies in shelves at various places on the walls, Melinda, Chris, and Trish get to the end of the corridor where there are two doors and so they walk into the door that is on the right side of the corridor.
Walking into the room Melinda, Chris and Trish find, just like they were expecting; Seven people standing around a large circular table. One teenage boy, who is the same age as Melinda and Trish, who is six-foot-tall who has brown hair and brown eyes. Four girls the youngest of whom is fourteen while the oldest is the same age as Melinda and Trish. Prue Halliwell, who is twenty years older than the version of her upstairs, and Cole Turner, who looks older than the last time the past sisters saw him, but not by a whole lot.
"Oh I've missed you," Prue says, before hugging her nephew, as Melinda closes the door behind her.
"Missed you too, Aunt Prue," Chris says, returning the hug, smiling slightly. After months of dealing with a Prue Halliwell who could barely stand him, it is nice to have his Aunt Prue back.
"You okay?" Prue asks concerned as they break apart, looking up her nephew up; looking for signs of injury; though she knows that likely the hurt Chris is feeling won't be visible.
"Yeah," Chris answers.
"It's good to see you, Kid," Cole says, before hugging him.
"You too, Uncle Cole," Chris responds, returning the hug, and once they break apart he looks around and realizes something.
"Where's Pearl?" Chris asks curious, as he has three more cousins who aren't in the room. While Chris knows that two of them are dead, there should be one more in the room, and the second he asks he knows exactly what has happened as a familiar tension takes over the room.
"Pea was killed ten days ago," Cole answers, as he wants to save Prue the pain from having to explain it.
"I'm so sorry Aunt Prue," Chris says, tears coming to his eyes, and even though he wants the story he is going to ask someone else as he wants to save Prue the pain, and Prue just gives a simple nod.
"What the hell happened?" Prue asks, as thinking about her dead daughter breaks her heart and so she would rather focus on something she can change. "How did you get back? And why did you bring them with you?" Prue asks as she pulls out a chair and takes a seat around the table, as everyone else does too.
"Long story, and wasn't exactly my choice," Chris admits, as he takes his seat. "Just like you warned they've been suspicious of me since I got to the past, you and Mom especially," Chris explains. "Since they found out I wasn't just a Whitelighter but part witch they have been even more suspicious," Chris explains.
"That would have only been a few days ago, at most, right?" Parker, Prue's seventeen, almost eighteen, year old daughter, who has blue eyes and light brown hair making her look a lot like her father, though she is only 5'4, asks.
"Yeah," Chris confirms. "My guess, you and Mom wanted to find out the truth of who I am before Phoebe and Paige move out," Chris explains, looking at Prue.
"Most likely," Prue admits. "If it was just going to be Piper and I at the manor I would want to know we could trust you," Prue says, knowing how the version of her in that time period would think.
"Which means we've got two things we need to figure out, how much we can tell them, and how to get them home," Peyton, Phoebe's sandy haired oldest daughter who is taller than Mel, but shorter than Trish; both of whom she is the same age as, says.
Before anyone can answer there a loud alert sound and an image of the basketball court, with a figure, appears on the large screen which is on the wall across from the door into the office.
"It's Leo," Cole realizes, annoyance clear in his voice.
"They must've have called him," Chris realizes, knowing that would be one of the only things that could get Leo to come to Sanctuary and honestly, he isn't surprised that they called him.
"I'll deal with him," Prue says, standing up.
"I'll come with you," Melinda says as she also stands up.
"Are you sure?" Prue asks curious, as she knows, better than basically anyone, the, completely justified, issues Melinda and Chris have with their father.
"Yeah," Melinda answers.
"We'll be right back," Prue says, not expecting this conversation to last long.
"Mellie, try not to blow Leo up," Cole says, knowing it is a real possibility when Melinda is around her father, as Melinda and Prue head out of the office, neither looking forward to dealing with Future Leo.
"What happened to Pearl?" Chris asks curious, once Prue and Melinda are out of hearing range.
"There was an attack downtown. We think Wyatt was trying to draw us out, or he just wanted to cause death and distraction; it's not clear," Trish explains, pain in her voice. "We told Pearl and Penny to stay here, but using Penny's powers they beamed to the attack," Trish explains.
"We wanted to help," Penny, Phoebe's fourteen-year-old daughter, the youngest, and shortest, of the Halliwell cousins who has hair darker than her big sister and amber eyes, says; guilt clear in her voice.
"We know Little Pen," Cole tells her in a comforting tone. "Pea used her flight power and flew above, but she was knocked out of the air by an energy ball," Cole explains.
"I tried to get to her," Henry, the one boy, other than Chris, says. "I fought my way through demons, but I was too late, I couldn't heal her," Henry says, clearly feeling guilty, as he is the only cousin, other than Wyatt, who has the ability to heal and he couldn't save his baby cousin; as a solemn feeling takes over the room.
AN2: Cole is not the father of Phoebe's kids, how he is part of the group and why he is called Uncle by the Halliwell cousins will be clear in future chapters. From what I understand in the comics Henry was adopted not biologically Paige and Henry's, but in this story he is.
So, I don't have to keep describing them when they are first introduced here is a breakdown of all the cousins and their powers; questions you have about powers will also be answered later in the story; just like how you'll get to know their personalities.
