Revisit the future to change the past
Authors note: I've kind of become obsessed with season six of charmed, since watching the repeats on living TV. I loved Chris. Apart from the obvious fact that Drew Fuller is sooo gorgeous, he made Chris such a great character, especially after Piper and Leo found out he was their son. This is my first Charmed story, cause I usually write Sliders fan fiction, so please let me know if I'm on the right track.
Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed. I'd be rich if I did!
On with the story
Chris sat at the top of the Golden Gate Bridge looking down at the traffic that was flying by. 'God' he thought 'Everything's such a mess!' And it was. He had put his mother in danger as well as his own existence. Rationally he knew that it wasn't really his fault, he was under a spell. But he had lost Piper once before and he couldn't bear the thought of it happening again.
And now Leo knew who he really was. The confrontation in the cave had led to violence. Something Chris was ashamed of. The ass kicking he gave Leo wasn't what upset him, giving into his emotions and letting Leo see how badly he could affect him was. He had always promised himself that no matter how poorly his father treated him he would never let him know how badly he could hurt him. And he had managed it for more than twenty years. Every time his father pushed him aside, every time he forgot a birthday, every time he chose Wyatt over him, Chris pushed it further and further down inside until the only feeling he had towards his father was that of hate.
That was until he had come back to the past. Here Leo was different, ok they still had their trust issues, but he could honestly say that in the short time he had been here he had spent more time with the Leo of the past, than he had with the Leo of the future in twenty two years.
But Leo had hit a sore point with the 'did I play favourites with Wyatt' crack. And Chris did. He cracked! All the anger and resentment he had towards his father surfaced to the top. All the feelings of abandonment and jealously he had, overflowed and smacked Leo square in the mouth.
He was feeling that abandoned by his father, that he was rather surprised when Leo orbed to the bridge looking for him. "Can we talk?"
"There is nothing to talk about," Chris told him close to tears.
"Well I think there is. I'm your father Chris, I think I deserve to know what I did that was so bad,"
Chris couldn't look at his father, it hurt too much "You were never there for me. You were there for everybody else. Mom, Wyatt, the rest of the world. But you were never there for me. You didn't have the time,"
Leo was stunned! He could never imagine doing such a thing to any of his children. "So maybe you didn't just come back to save Wyatt. Maybe you came back to save us as well,"
This time Chris couldn't hold back the tears "I doubt it," he told him, then he orbed away leaving Leo alone on the bridge.
