1x02: Mighty Morphing Power of Three (Part 1)

The city of San Francisco grows restless at night as the cars on the Bay Bridge race each other, trying make it home in time for their favorite TV show or sports game, make it home in time for supper or make it home in time to see their little ones before they fall asleep. The honking and screeching of tires is normal in the city such as this but the city noise is disturbed by the shrieking of a man in pain accompanied by chanting.

"Evil eyes look unto thee
May they soon extinguished be
Bend thy will to the Power of Three
Eye of earth; Evil and Accursed."

The Charmed Ones stand before Javnah, Prue leading the charge with Piper and Phoebe flanked on both sides. Prue's palm emits a glow and shoots a dark energy from her fingertips. Screaming, Javnah falls backward onto the glowing platform as his body shrivels up and turns into a skeleton. His skeleton turns into dust and the magic winds blow them away. Prue's palm returns to normal as she lowers her arm.

"Cool." Phoebe whispers with excitement.

"Yeah, it wasn't cool when he almost turned you into a grandma, was it?" Piper scolds.

"I can take care of myself, thank you very much." Phoebe rolls her eyes.

"Yeah, we'll do well to remember that next time another demon has you in their clutches." Prue says as she turns around to walk away.

"Your lives would be boring without me and you know it." Phoebe says as follows Prue and Piper joins them.

"Yeah, you wish." Piper scoffs, "The power of premonition and you didn't even see this coming."

"I saw it..." Phoebe tries to defend herself, "It just was too late to do anything about it."

"Sure." Prue says as she walks out of the ware house with her sisters following her. A black and white crow perched on the light post squawks loudly but the sisters didn't even notice.

"Can you take my van back to the restaurant please? No detours, straight back to Quake." Piper instructs, knowing how easily distracted Phoebe can be.

"I got it, Piper." Phoebe says, clearly getting tired of Piper's quips, "You don't have to treat me like a child."

Prue sits in her black convertible and starts it up. Piper joins her by sitting in the passenger seat of the car Prue looks out of the window at her sister and without an ounce of empathy in her voice and face, she says "Don't act like one and maybe, we might treat you like you're a grown woman."

"How am I supposed to get home after I drop off the van?" Phoebe asks.

"Grown woman task number 1: Figure it out." Piper says as she snickers and Phoebe shoots her an angry glance.

"I'll see you at home." Prue says as she peels off into the night.

Phoebe watches her drive off and frowns. She walks to the restaurant van, sits in and drives off towards the main street. The crow yelps once more and then takes flight, sailing towards the full moon hovering in the night's sky.

A man stand across the street of the Halliwell Manor, donning a fedora and a long black coat. He gazes aimlessly at the house as a car pulls up right in front of him.

"Hey, man!" the guy says as he rolls down his window, "Did you call for an uber?"

The man without saying a word adjusts his hat and the moonlight shines upon his ring, a golden ring with two green stone settings. He opens the door to the backseat and sits down. He slams the door shut and the car drives away into the night.
