Paige was scrying for Leo in three different maps. One of San Francisco, other from the world and the last one from the solar system.

I was sitting on top of a table in an Indian position, hands linked together  on top of my knees and my chin resting on top of my linked hands as I concentrated on Leo.

My eyes stared straightforward as I felt my magic straining to find Leo and bring him home. And electric zap hit me painfully, bitting back a gasp, widening my eyes and flinching.

Chris was at my side in an instant, "Bree?" He whispered in concerned.

I ignored him, still pissed at him for having lied to me.

When the sisters had gone to Piper, Chris had explained all he did, knowing he couldn't lie anymore. 

Phoebe walked in.

"Where exactly are you trying to find Leo? Jupiter?" Phoebe asked sarcastically

"Well, when an Elder gets kidnapped, they're probably not gonna just take him to Chinatown, right? I think everything is game, even the cosmos" Paige replied simply.

"Still, I don't see how the crystal's gonna find him" Phoebe gestured at the scrying crystal "Especially not without something of his to focus it better"

Paige picked up one of Leo's shirts.

"I've got one of his plaid shirts" she told her sister

Phoebe tilted her head aside "I was thinking something a little more special than that"

"Leo loved those shirts" Paige explained "His entire closet's full of them"

Phoebe suddenly turned to us. "What's your problem?"

I pointedly looked down having a good idea what was happening  to Phoebe as Chris looked around

"Huh?" Chris looked confused

"You're nervous, I can feel it" Phoebe explained, "And she's angry for something"

"Hm, watch your vibes" Paige sing sang

Phoebe walks over to us.

"I'm angry I can't do anything to help" I explained patiently

"I just think you guys should be focusing on helping Piper, not Leo" Chris explained, realizing what she had felt

"Ha, I was right" Phoebe shouted in triumph

"Hey, finding Leo could help us with Piper" Paige reasoned

"Well, then you better find another way because you are not gonna find him" Chris said. No one said  anything. I glared at him "I mean, you haven't found him yet have you? I'm telling you, you've just got to leave it up to the Elders, alright? Just let it go"

"Let it go?" Paige repeated "He's Wyatt's father"

"And our brother-in-law" Phoebe added.

I was tempted to say he was my uncle but refrained myself. I was trying to find him too because Chris wasn't telling me where the Valkyries took him and he wasn't letting me go to find out

"Ex-brother-in-law" Chris corrected "Look, I'm just trying to get you two to focus on your sister here. That's all. Because with her powers messed up, you guys are all at risk."

"He's right" Paige sighed

"I know" Phoebe agreed  "But Leo did do something to block Piper's pain, how do we unblock it without him?"

Paige seemed to get an idea "A magical laxative.

"Okay, firstly eww" I perked up, disgusted. "Second, how's that gonna help?"

"If we can write a spell to help her remember her pain, I don't know, it could even help us find Leo" Phoebe picked up the phone and dials a number "Who are you calling? Spells-R-Us?" Paige asked

"No, I'm calling the Bayview Cafe" Phoebe replied "I'm gonna cancel my lunch date with Chad, which I'm already late for" I perked up, relieved. Chris looked at me amused "Hi, can I speak to Chad Carson please? I was supposed to meet him for..." Phoebe paused for a second, frowning "What? He cancelled?"

I cringed slightly at her tone of voice. It may not be a broken heart but, the slight hurt was there. I rubbed slightly the skin of my cleavage.

"Wait, are you sure? 'Cause he didn't even call..." Phoebe bit on her lip before hanging up.

"Everything alright?" I asked slowly, lowering my hand

Phoebe crossed her arms, "He stood me up"

"Wait, weren't you just calling to cancel on him?" Chris raised a brow

Phoebe paused, "Yeah, but I called him. That's cancelling" I rolled my eyes, "He called the restaurant. That's standing up"

Paige nodded in agreement

"Oh" Chris didn't know what to say, confused. I shrugged at him.

Phoebe frowned "This doesn't make any sense, I don't understand. He liked me, he really liked me, I felt it"

I scratched my neck. So this is when Phoebe got her emphatic powers. Okay, time to be careful around her.

"Well, um, excuse me, it didn't seem like your heart was in it anyway" Paige told her. Phoebe put down the phone and headed for the door. "Where are you going? We have a spell to write"

"And I have a DJ to grill" Phoebe told her, "Bree can help you"

I sighed, closing my eyes. This was going to be a long day.

~8~

"Chris, she just got her powers. She won't know how to control them" I told my cousin, carrying a baby Piper had made us bring with us. Chris was carrying a baby bassinet. "I have to help"

Chris looked at me, "I know. But how will you? You're not an empath"

"No" I agreed, shrugging a shoulder "But I do understand some feelings. She and dad taught me and being what I am, I can help her even if not much, a little in keeping herself in check and not broadcast everyone's feelings"

"Alright" Chris sighed, "As long as you don't go babbling about how you know how to do that, exactly"

I slowed down, slightly hurt "It's like you don't trust me, Chris. Why? You've been treating me like this since I came with you from the future"

"I'm just worried" Chris told me, shoulders falling down "I do trust you. You're the only one I trust"

I wanted to say it didn't seem like it. His words rang on my head, a soft tingle telling me he wasn't completely truthful. I looked down, "Then let me do this. I want to help Phoebe. I want to help them like they all have helped me"

We stopped at the living room of the manor. After a few seconds, Chris gestured at the baby in my hands, "Give me the baby to place him on the bassinet"

We did so and sighed. "Okay" I clapped my hands together, "Gotta find Phoebe" I said, grabbing my Silver necklace and fingered it for a few seconds, "Gotcha" I said, after finding where she was

Chris chuckled, "See you later"

I smiled, mock saluting him before beaming out of the manor and to where I had found Phoebe.

~8~

I beamed to the beach, looking around making sure no one had seen anything and frowned.

"What are you doing, Phoebe?" I murmured to myself, starting to walk forward.

I heard her before seeing her. "... I was just hoping you could help me understand something that's baffled women since the beginning of time. Why don't men call after they ask us out?" I followed her voice, finding her with a guy near a hot dog stand. I walked closer "And why do they cancel at the last minute and even worse, stand us up"

"Look, I'm sorry, but I had something really important come up" The guy, Chad told her and he had the decency to look awkward. I crossed my arms, wanting to see how much Phoebe had her abilities in check.

Phoebe suddenly tilted her head aside, "Are you intimidated by me?"

I smirked

Chad looked startled "What?"

"Because you weren't intimidated by me when you asked me out" Phoebe told him

Chad raised his hands "Hold on, you asked me out, remember?"

I narrowed my eyes, walking forward and stopping at Phoebe's side.

"Oh, wait, are you saying that you didn't want me though?" Phoebe raised her eyebrows incredulously "Because I know you did, I felt it"

"Phoebe..." I said in warning.

She glanced at me but didn't say anything else

"Whoa, wait a minute" Chad told her

Phoebe sucked in a deep breath. I knew that expression. It was when her empathic abilities kicked in. I knew the feeling completely.

"You don't like successful women" Phoebe realized

"I gotta go" Chad said, warily.

I didn't like him. He had to listen what Phoebe was going to say so I stepped behind him, not letting him leave. He looked startled. I wriggled my fingers in a sarcastic wave

"Wait, are you telling me that everything I've worked so hard for in my life, everything I've fought to achieve makes me less attractive to men?" Phoebe asked.

Something ached inside me. It was hurt coming from Phoebe. The only feelings I could detect where hurt, heartbreak, love and hate. Those where the feelings I could only detect but only one I could manipulate. It came with what I was. Not my active or passive powers as a witch. And right now, Phoebe was feeling hurt. Even if it was a little, I still felt it

"Because if that's what you're saying I just..." Phoebe continued before starting crying. I narrowed my eyes confused until a little girl crying got my attention. She had fallen from her bike and scrapped her knee. She was telling her  mom who was trying to calm her that it hurt. "Just hurts. It hurts so much"

"Crap" I murmured, walking to Phoebe's side

"Don't you think you're overreacting just a little?" Chad asked Phoebe

"No I don't!" Phoebe snapped.

"Phoebe, take a deep breath. And concentrate on yourself and no one else" I instructed softly.

Phoebe did as I told, taking a deep breath and calming down. She looked at Chad, "Actually, yeah. I do" she said, looking at the little girl who continued crying.

I gave Chad a look to leave. He frowned warily before doing so.

Phoebe looked back at me in realization.

"Yes. It's exactly what you're thinking" I told Phoebe with a half smile.
