Okay, this is my first fan fiction, so please be kind if you review and just so there aren't any questions, I'll tell you the extra powers that I've given the sisters

Piper: Imperviousness, Intangibility, and Invisibility

Phoebe: Telepathy, Psionic Blast (Those who watch Mutant X will know what I mean)

Paige: Healing, Telekinesis and Astral Projection

This is a Charmed/Mutant X crossover, mostly centred on Phoebe, so I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed or Mutant X (Although I wish I did!)

The Lone Charmed One

'Paige! Are you in?' 29-year-old Phoebe Haliwell shouted as she walked into the house that she shared with her sisters.

'In here!' her younger sisters voice echoed from the kitchen.

'Great! Come and help me with the groceries that are in the car!'

She walked into into the kitchen, only to find it completely empty. Phoebe walked around the counter top, as always, finding it immaculate, her older sister Piper always kept the kitchen pristine, she could never make a meal unless her 'work space' was spotless. Unfortunately, signs of obsessive cleaning were all that Phoebe found, there was no sign of her baby sister.

Suddenly, she figured out what was going on and smiled as she grabbed a cold cup of coffee that was sitting on the table, she was going to beat her sister at her own game! Phoebe entered the dining room again and shouted again for her sister,' Paige! Where are you?' she said with a smirk playing on her lips.

This time, her voice came from upstairs 'In the attic!' Paige shouted. But instead of heading upstairs, Phoebe made a beeline for the living room and that was were she found her real sister, lying unconscious on the couch. Phoebe propped the young woman up on the seat, and, while trying to hold back he laughter, opened Paige's mouth and poured the disgusting, ice-cold coffee down her throat!

Paige's eyes flashed open as she began to regain consciousness and splutter out what was left of the rancid liquid out of her mouth.

'Geez! I was only messing around!' the startled sibling said in protest.

'Sorry sweetie, but I don't time to play a game of astral hide and se-Piper!!' Phoebe yelled with her eyes narrowed as she turned around.

Slowly, her big sister appeared out of nowhere wearing a pout on her face,

'What good is invisibility if you see me?' she said in a disappointed tone as she joined her sisters in the living room and took the couch across the room

'I didn't see you; I sensed your thoughts, guys, what's going on? You two aren't exactly the people I thought would be ones for magical games,' questioned Phoebe.

'I guess it's just our way of saying we don't you to leave,' Piper replied with an apologetic smile on her face

'Yeah,' Paige said as she bounded across the sofa and hugged the middle Haliwell sister 'We're just trying to show you what will happen if you go,'

'Look, I'm gonna miss you guys more guys more than anything, not to mention Leo and the boys, but I need to do this, ever since I got that premonition I've been drawn to go an a journey to see if what I saw was true,'

A couple of months ago, Phoebe's powers had begun to spiral out of control, she had stayed in the basement for a week because she was feeling the emotions and hearing the thoughts of everyone in the city. As a last resort, Piper and Paige had tried to bind her powers to try and save their sister put just before they threw the binding potion, Phoebe had screamed and her eyes and went white. When the seizure ended, her powers were back to normal, and Phoebe had claimed to have had a premonition. She said that she had only small flashes of different parts of the future, but the picture that had lasted the longest was her lying in a hospital bed with a baby in her arms, apart from that she had felt friendship, adventure but most all, love.

Ever since then Phoebe had been planning to leave for a while and when she was asked about where she was going, all she said was 'wherever destiny takes me,'

'But what about your job?' Piper asked, as a last attempt to her change her mind

'I talked to Elise today and she said that I can e-mail all my assignments to her, she was a little hesitant when she thought about doing photo's and things but I convinced her to try and hold them off until I get back. And besides, I have a sister who has a very 'charming' way of transporting people in the blink of an eye if there's an emergency,' Phoebe replied while eying Paige.

'Well Piper, it's official, she has an answer for everything!' announced Paige, her voice telling that she had given up.

'Yes I do, now if you'll excuse me, I need to get groceries out of the car,' she said as she left the room.

'Phoebe wait!' Paige called before her big sister left the room 'let me save you the trouble, grocery bags!' she called for as the shopping appeared on the coffee table in a dazzle of orbs.

'Paige I think that falls under the personal gain category,' Piper said with one eyebrow raised.

'Probably, but screw it! It's Phoebe's last night at home for a while so lets save from all the chores!

The three siblings celebrated around the table, sharing childhood memories, laughing at stories of spells gone awry not mention munching away at the chips and chocolate that had been found at the bottom of one of the shopping.

Eventually, the party was over after Paige had to be at work in the morning, she had relinquished control of Magic School to Leo after she decided to return to a paying job and as soon as the baby monitor went off, Piper was on her feet checking on Chris, after that Phoebe decided to turn in for the night.

Am I doing the right thing? Phoebe questioned herself as she lay in bed, unable to get to sleep. Yes, my sisters don't need me as much as they used to and I need to this, after years of saving innocents, I need to do something for me and as soon as she came to this conclusion, she drifted off into a dreamless slumber

The next morning, Phoebe was doing the rest of her packing in her room while Leo was putting everything else in her car, her sisters came into the room just as she was struggling to close a small bag full of her cosmetics. It was here Piper asked the question she had been asking ever since Phoebe had decided to go

'Do you have any idea of where you're going yet?' she asked worryingly with Paige behind her wearing a concerned look on her face.

'I told you, whatever way the wind blows,' her little sister retorted

'Yeah, well, it's going to have to one hell of a gust to move all the stuff your taking!' joked Paige, who was trying to make light of the situation.

Piper, who decided to join in, said 'Remember Paige, she's going on a spiritual quest, I mean, were would she be without the sacred… hair straightners!' as she picked up them up from Phoebe's overstuffed cosmetics bag.

'Oooooooooo! You guys are so funny!' she said with a glare and a smirk

'Okay, that's everything in the car, I'm surprised how stuff that Mini could fit into it!' said Leo who had appeared at the doorway.

'Alright then! I guess it's time for the teary goodbye!' she said with tears welling up in her eyes. First she hugged Paige who was reluctant to let her go.

'Be safe,' whispered Paige in her ear

'I will,' Phoebe whispered back

Piper was already whimpering as Phoebe wrapped her arms around her

'I'm gonna miss you so much Phoebe,' she managed to say in between sobs

'Me too,' said Phoebe who's voice was barely audible

She moved on to Leo who managed to stay dry eyed

' I hope you find what you're looking for,' Leo said to her, at this point all she could do was nod.

And, as they waved her off on the porch Phoebe began to drive out of the street were she had spent all her life, she was leaving everything behind, her family, her friends, her job, and all to begin her journey as the lone Charmed One…

Okay! What did you think? I know it's a slow start but I promise it gets better!
