Future vs Past

3.

I looked at the recently turned Goddesses in amusement as they examined each one of their outfits

Piper looked down at hers in skepticism. "You expect us to beat the Titans dressed like this?" She questioned, raising a brow "Maybe at a costume party"

"That's not a costume" Chris drawled in annoyance. I chuckled "That represents your new position and power"

"Power? Power's good. I like power" Paige's eyes lit up before pausing in confusion "Why do I like power?"

"Because you are the goddess of war" Chris replied simply

Paige chuckled in excitement, eying the trident in her hands "Ahh. Well, I guess that explains the pitch fork"

"It's not a pitch fork, it's a trident" I spoke, an amused smile playing on my lips "Be careful, that's a formidable weapon"

Paige didn't seem to register my words, maneuvering her trident from one hand to the other grinning "Right on. Who wants to fight?"

Phoebe twirled a strand of her brand new blonde hair in her finger, a peaceful look crossing her features "I'm a lover, not a fighter"

"You're the goddess of love" I informed her, tilting my head aside with pursed lips

Chris glanced at me knowingly

"Naturally" Piper frowned "Well, then that must make me the goddess of sanity because I find this ridiculous"

Chris sucked in a breath "Actually, Leo gave you dominion over the earth and all it's natural elements"

Piper raised her eyebrows, shock in her irises "Wait a minute, you're saying that Leo did this to us?"

Paige and Phoebe looked at us, surprised though their new powers were now more controlling them than being themselves

"Chris?" Phoebe walked forward, a sultry voice making my eyes widen "You never told us, do you have a girlfriend in the future? Are you two together?" She asked us, giving him a pout while looking at me up and down, checking me up and with her expression it seemed I wasn't approved

I scrunched my nose in disgust, "He's like five years older than me" I pointed out, crossing my arms. Phoebe continued giving him seductive looks, glancing at me in skepticism "And no. In the future is still frowned upon dating someone of your Family"

Phoebe's mouth formed an 'o' before shooting me a pleasant smile, looking at Chris.

Chris ignored both of us, though the brief glance he gave me told me we were going to have a long talk once we had the sisters away from us.

"As you can see, all of you have drives and urges based on your powers" Chris said sighing, giving Phoebe a look while backing away from her as she walked to him "Don't let them distract you, alright?"

I walked forward, grabbing Phoebe's shoulder and forcefully pulled her away back to her sisters "Stay focused, focus on the Titans"

Phoebe pouted, giving me a look.

"Hold it, pals" Piper raised her arms up, glaring at us "I don't know what kind of game you're running here, but Leo is not in the god-making business"

I massaged my temples, Phoebe's new power kinda messing with mine

Phoebe looked at Chris "How old are you, anyway?"

I refrained myself from looking grossed out

"The Elders forbid it" Piper spoke louder, ignoring her sister "And if anything, Leo is a company man"

"The Elders did forbid it" Chris agreed "And guess what, they're dead. Most of them. Leo's in charge up there now and he's taken a huge risk that you three won't lose your humanity like the ancient Greeks..." he trailed off startled as Paige stick up her trident in his shirt from behind and held up Chris in the air "Whoa!"

Paige glared at him accusingly "You killed the Elders. You could've prevented it. I say we castrate"

My eyes widened "A little control, ladies, please"

Paige pointed at me, narrowing her eyes. I gulped

"Can't we figure out something else to cut off?" Phoebe said giving Chris a flirtatious smile 

Chris orbed out and orbed back in across the room, standing next to me. "Stay focused. In our future, all the Elders were killed. That's why we came back to help Leo give you the power so this would never have to happen again"

Paige ignored us "Hey, guys, watch this" She said pointing her trident at the piano, shooting a bolt of lighting from it toward the piano, making it break into pieces

I flinched

Piper looked at Paige, scoldingly "Put that thing down, you're gonna hurt someone"

Paige admired her trident, a mischievous glimmer in her eyes "I certainly hope so. Do you know the kind of damage this thing could do?"

"A lot" Chris and I told her at the same time

Phoebe looked at her sister softly "Paige, make love, not, you know. There's no door love can't open, no wall love can't climb, not hurdle love can't... " She trailed off, a thoughtful expression crossing her face. "...Hurdle"

Piper raised her eyebrows at her sisters, glancing at us sarcastically "This is Leo's strategy? Well, he must have lost it up there because these girls can't be seen in public, much less..." She gestured at their clothes, annoyed

Phoebe's eyes lit up "Ooh reminds me. I'm late for the bachelor auction. I'm gonna go pick up a guy or two, or twelve" she clapped her hands making a pink Misty heart appear around her, surrounding her before she disappeared

"Phoebe?" I called out worriedly

Paige smirked "Ooh, that's a good idea. I'm gonna go get in some target practice with some demons. Watch out Titans" She disappeared with lighting bolts surrounding her

Piper looked at us calmly

Chris swore under his breath, pinching the bridge of his nose, sighing "I knew this was gonna happen." He briefly closed his eyes before looking at Piper "You gotta go after them"

Piper chuckled "Oh, no-no-no. This was your big plan, you clean up the mess" she said pointing at us

Chris shook his head "No, your role is to provide balance. That's why you feel so grounded and in control"

Piper seemed slightly impressed though her tone sounded sarcastic "Wow, Chris, that was actually pretty good. You almost sounded like a Whitelighter" she narrowed her eyes "Too bad I already have one. And if he would like me to do something, he can come down and tell me himself" she looked up at the ceiling, exclaiming "Do you hear that?!"

Chris took a deep breath "You want Leo, hm? Then vanquish the Titans. If you can't do that, you're gonna find out what a world of darkness feels like. My world"

I glanced at him worriedly.

Worried for him and our future if history repeats itself.
