Saving Chris' Future

Chapter 7: Big Brother's Wrath

A/N: Hey y'all! Apologies for the extended wait, I've had a really busy schedule with the start of college and all of the changes due to Covid-19. The last chapter ended with the Charmed One's and Leo calling Chris. Wyatt is enraged by all that has been done to his brother by his own family and is more than ready for a fight. The Charmed One's and Leo are really in for it now. Let's see how it goes. I hope you enjoy it!

Paige's POV:

Once Leo had shown up, Piper had explained the situation and all of the changes that she had seen in future Wyatt. Like Piper, Leo was all too ready to blame Chris for those changes, which is why Piper had been calling Chris nonstop despite Wyatt's earlier warning. 

Soon black orbs fill the attic and reveal an emotionally tired and resigned Chris alongside an angry and vengeful Wyatt. This is gonna be a long discussion and an even longer night.

Wyatt's POV:
Look at them all standing there. Mom and Dad looking angry and ready to kill Chris as they've threatened on many occasions We'll see about that, they don't know what's coming at them while Aunts Phoebe and Paige are looking anxious and ready for a very long night. I see that Leo has noticed my dark orbs and seems rather shocked but still very angry at Chris. He better not make any accusations!

"You actually had the gall to call him after all that you've said and done, even when I specifically told you not to bother," I say as mother opens her mouth to break the silence. She looks affronted by what I've just said and is about to say something else when Chris interrupts. "Wyatt, it's not worth it," he says in a resigned tone. "What did you call me here for," he finally asks them. Mom is opening her mouth to respond with what is probably a scathing comment when she is once again interrupted. "We just wanted to talk to you both," says Aunt Phoebe trying to stall an argument as always. I look at her I realize that she is analyzing Chris, observing his face and posture, and make notes of all that she sees.

"And what is it that you could possibly say that could fix what you've done? What do you think you can say that won't make me even angrier at you? What can you say that you haven't already said to Chris," I ask to which aunts Phoebe and Paige have no response, unlike Leo and Piper who open their mouths in unison. "Before you even think about making idiotic excuses let me tell you that I have already forced everything that you've said and done out of Chris and I'm beyond pissed. He told me how father almost killed him and then threatened to have him recycled, how mother has threatened to vanquish him and blow him back to the future despite now knowing that he can in fact die from that," I yell. I see aunts Phoebe and Paige wince at what they hear, I also feel Chris stiffen next to me. Mother and father, however, don't seem remorseful. They would be if they knew exactly who Chris is, I'm gonna have to talk to Chris about that as well. 

"Wyatt, please don't...it's not worth it. I'm not worth it." I hear Chris say telepathically which makes my blood boil even more because they really broke him that much!

"We were just protecting you from him, he's the one that hurts you, he's the one that turns you," says father as if that's supposed to make everything okay. Mother as usual follows up with a claim that she "would never let her son turn evil," which only serves to make me laugh.

"Wyatt, don't," says Chris as he processes my thoughts. "I'm am not about to let them get away with hurting you, accusing you of hurting me which if they actually took the time to get to know you, they would see that you would never do that considering that you came back here to save me while anyone in the future would have come back here to kill me," I say to him while never taking my eyes off of mother and father who seem to have selective hearing while the aunts are shocked by what they've just heard.

"I know that you want to keep who you are a secret for some reason, whether it be fear or trauma, maybe both. But they are gonna have to know if they are ever gonna stop treating you like something less than living," I say giving Piper and Leo a pointed look to which they seem shocked at. Meanwhile, I can feel Chris's emotions of fear, sadness, shock, and resignation build within him. He's gonna have a meltdown, maybe now they'll figure out exactly who they're messing with. Even as this thought crosses my mind, everything in the attic, in the manor begins to shake, float, and explode. Some things being covered in ice, others catching fire. And at the center of it all is an emotionally drained Chris who seems to be at his limit. 

What will they do now?

A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, I tried to make it longer than the last chapters but stopped when I realized that it might be something that happens in more than one chapter. Anyway, Chris's powers are acting on his emotions....the Charmed ones and Leo are in trouble now. I don't think Wyatt is gonna help them. Or maybe he will, just to keep his brother from ending their lives before he's even been born. Paige and Phoebe stayed silent in this chapter, but they might speak up in the next one. I'm once again sorry for the really long wait. Anyway, the next chapter will be a continuation of this one, hopefully, they start to treat Chris as a living being after they see how he is reacting from being treated as something way below life. Paige and Phoebe seem to be reasonable through this entire thing. Will Piper and Leo realize how they've wronged Chris or will they stay angry at  Chris for things that he had no control of? Will Wyatt be able to convince Chris to tell them his identity? I guess you'll just have to see. Stay safe everyone!
