At this point, Cole is new to the fact that Phoebe is also a Tomorrow Person at this point. Cole is working at P3 right now, stocking shelves, to gain his wages. Prue and Piper are at work. Phoebe is relaxing at home, enjoying her day off, from being bushwacked by a demon a week ago, and left her with a sprained ankle. And onto the story.

At South Taphini Beach:

Kevin is sitting on a beach, whistling to himself, and enjoying the ocean breeze. A demon shimmers in behind him. Kevin hears a step behind him, and looks, then starts screaming! The demon grins and advances toward Kevin, with a taloned hand outstretched, and then grabs Kevin's collar. He struggles in vain, sending out an urgent mindcall! "Shhh, little one, We have plans for you!", whispers the demon in a quiet evil voice. The demon puts his palm on Kevin's head, incants a spell, causing Kevin to scream out in pain, and pass out. The demon vanishes along with Kevin, into nowhere.

At the Manor:

Kevin mindscreams hysterically into Phoebe's mind, almost literally knocking her backwards, [ HELP ME! ], then vanishes without a trace. Phoebe suddenly passes out for a few moments. She comes to, and looks around wildly, and automatically searches for any trace of Kevin, but couldn't find him. She mentally screams as loud as she could, [ KEVIN? Where are you? ]

[ Phoebe! Are you alright? ], queries a groggily, confused Adam.

He continues, [ ... We can't find Kevin. We passed out at the same time he vanished, but ...we don't know what happened. ]

Ami sits up, moaning as she holds her head in her hands. [ You guys alright? ]

Jade pipes up, [ What the HELL was that? ]

Megabyte demands, [ What the hell happened? Where's Kevin?! ]

Phoebe struggles to stay alert, but feels that she MUST sit down. [ You guys... What the hell was that? ]

Jade sounds sheepish, [ You mean...the others didn't tell you? A TP usually feels what another feels, if they're knocked unconcious, or the like.... ]

Phoebe pales at those words, and hesitates to ask, [ .... like ? Death? Whoa I can't do that. It'd be too hard for me. ]

Adam sighs in Phoebe's mind, [ You know this is inevitable, as being a Charmed One, along with being one of us, there is always a risk of .... death ], his mind carrying overtones of distaste, and slight sorrow at times past.

Phoebe shakes her head, and says, [ Wait a minute. I know the risks now. I mean...since my sisters almost died more than once. But, we need a plan to find Kevin. ]

Her sisters are at work, at 415 magazine, and at P3. Prue suddenly feels weak, during her photo shoot. She places her hand on her forehead. A feeling engulfs Prue that something IS wrong. She decides to call Phoebe. Phoebe says, [ Hold on. Phone's ringing. ] All the TP's withdraw from their mental contact with Phoebe.

Phoebe answers the phone. "Halliwell Residence, How may -- Oh Prue! What's happening?"

Prue shrugs and replies, "Oh maybe nothing, but I was calling to see if everything's okay? I sorta felt weak for a moment, and had a nagging feeling that something was wrong."

Phoebe is startled for a moment, but presses on, "Well... I *did* pass out."

Prue exclaims, "What?! Are you OK? What happened?"

Phoebe thinks, and replies, "Yes. But one of our friends is missing. Kevin. Seems like I will suffer any 'after effect' of anyone that is a TP who is knocked unconcious, or drugged, or whatnot. It's not permanant, though. But it also gives us an idea what happened to the TP in question who gets attacked."

Prue is relieved though, but asks, "So...this is sorta like a backlash, but ...not literally, other than passing out, pains, etc, at the time of 'attack'?"

Phoebe smiles and answers Prue's question with, "Yeah, that's all it is. I'm worried though. I can't contact Kevin. Nor can anyone else."

Prue nods at the phone, "Okay Pheebs. We'll have a conference when we get home. Okay, sis?"

Phoebe is appreciative, and warmly says, "OH thank you! This is a load off my shoulders. I'll wait till you guys get home before we start scrying." Prue agrees, and says, "Bye Pheebs. I'll call Piper and apprise her of the situation."

Phoebe says, "Thanks sis. I'll see you guys later. I'm going to go to P3 in a hour. Tell Piper to have NO one in her office then, okay?"

Prue sighs at her end, but nods, and says, "Okay...but be careful. Don't be too obvious, sis. Why don't I take off early, and meet you there?"

Phoebe giggles, "Yeah! That'd kill one bird with two stones...wait. Two birds with a stone? Anyways, I'll try not to be. Talk later, sis!"

Prue shakes her head, and hangs up the phone. She picks up the phone to tell Piper what is happening. Piper nods as Prue fills in the details on the phone about Phoebe and her friends. Piper assures Prue that she will make sure no one is in the office in a hour.

Phoebe runs to take a shower, and gets ready. One hour has passed. She takes a deep breath. She closes her eyes, and imagines Piper's office. She thinks of her need to be there. A static aura forms around Phoebe and implodes in a flash, teleporting her to Piper's office.

` Meanwhile, Kevin is still unconcious. He is apparently in a deep unawakeable sleep. His mind however indicates other things that are going on.

Grey Mists cover a confused Kevin, as he looks around. He tries to shout a mindcall to his friends, [ Phoebe! Adam? Jade? Ami, Megabyte? Where are you?? I can't find you! ] A mysterious voice quietens Kevin's protests, for the moment by saying, "Calm down, Young One. They can't hear you. You are safe here for the moment anyways." He looks wildly around for the voice. He notices a grey robed male, with a white-grey silvered beard creeping out from the hood. Kevin can't see any eyes inside the hood, which makes him nervous. The Robed One unhoods his face, and smiles at Kevin. "Don't be alarmed, Young Man. I am here to tell you something vital. You will not remember it until the time is right."

Kevin looks nervously at the Robed One, "What is it? Where am I?"

The Robed One sighs for a moment. His eyes shine softly with a mixture of sadness, pride, and hope. "Soon, Little One. Soon. For now. I am Lyon. I'm in your mind. You are in "Dream Time", a realm that only I can enter, to impart wisdom."

Kevin looks at Lyon strangely. "You remind me of ... " Lyon prompts Kevin, "Of ...who?"

Kevin shakes his head. "It doesn't matter. So, tell me what is it I need to know?" Lyon smiles at Kevin's persistance.

"Very well, Kevin. You are important. A new type of telepath. You still will be a normal "Tomorrow Person", but you also have a very unique latent ability that will be very important to the "Charmed Ones", and your fellow brethren."

Kevin's emotions are mixed. He feels uncertain, but in awe, and curious. "What do you mean, a latent power? A new type of Telepath?" The Robed One, Lyon, proceeds to explain what he means. The power of amplication. A power of a witch as well. He looks stunned at Lyon, but shakes his head, in half denial, and half shock. Lyon places a kind hand on Kevin's shoulder, smiling. Lyon says in a matter-of-fact tone, "You won't remember this, Kevin, when you first wake up, but you won't be afraid. I must tell you another thing. You are under the control of a "Demon", who wishes to gain your powers. In particular, your power of amplification and your secondary power as a witch. Try to hold out as you can. Help *is* on the way, very soon. Your friends are worried about you."

Kevin looks downcast, "I miss my friends."

Lyon smiles softly, and pats Kevin's shoulder. "I know you do. This is why you will perserve."

Lyon looks in the distance beyond Kevin's shoulder. "I must go! Good luck to you." He vanishes into thin air, slowly, waving to Kevin. Kevin slumps down on the ground, and dozes off for a moment.

Back to the club P^3 :

A static implosion and white flash heralds Phoebe's arrival. She quickly looks around, to make sure no one is looking, and walks out the office, to see Piper smiling at her entrance. "Hey little sis! How's it going?"

Phoebe nods, "Going well, more or less. Prue told you?"

Piper's expression turns serious. "Yeah. I'm sorry about Kevin. I hope we find him." Cole comes out into the main room, from the Stock room, and grins, then runs to hug Phoebe closely. "Mmmm I missed you Phoebe!"

Phoebe giggles and squirms in Cole's bear hug. She then thumps his chest playfully. Piper is laughing at this scene. Cole picks up on the mood, and looks at Phoebe, "What's wrong?"

Phoebe looks at Piper and asks, "You didn't tell him?" Cole prods, "Tell me what?"

Phoebe wriggles out of Cole's grasp, and holds his hands. Looking into Cole's eyes, she sniffles, and says, "My friend is missing. Kevin. We can't find him, mind or presence. It's like he's totally gone. The other TPs have told me that I will experience symptoms of what happens to the other TP, like if they're knocked out, we sorta get knocked out at the same time, but in a lesser degree."

Cole understands instantly, and comforts Phoebe, "Oh man. I am sure he is okay. What can I do?"

Phoebe snuggles into Cole's chest. "I don't know. Prue's coming soon, to discuss all this."

Cole softens at Phoebe's hug, and thinks to himself, "Dammit. I wish I knew where Kevin was." An instinct tells Cole, that things will be brought into light very soon, but the insight vaguely wisps in and out of his mind maddeningly. He looks at Piper with a confused and concerned glance. Piper shakes her head and sighs softly.

Prue bounds down the stairs of P^3, and waves at her sisters, and Cole.

Piper sends all the workers home, with the exception of Cole, and leans on the counter of the bar. "Now what? What do we know?"

Prue looks at Phoebe with an inquiring look. Phoebe wipes her eyes gently, and nods.

"Well. I was just at home. I was just enjoying myself, and everything. Then all of a sudden, Kevin screams, 'Help me!' then I apparently passed out, and woke up 5 minutes later, woozy. Seems like everyone else felt the same thing, that he was knocked out somehow, although I didn't feel any 'blunt' instrument hit me.", explains Phoebe to the group. Cole hugs her closer, and caresses her hair. Piper speaks up after a few moments, "Now what?"

Leo suddenly orbs down to P^3 from the Elder's Hall, and startles everyone for a moment. Piper grins, hugging Leo, and says, "What brings you down here today?"

He then looks at Cole, and mentions that Cole is instrumental to finding Kevin. Cole is amazed, "ME? How?" Leo plainly shrugs, with a puzzled expression. He says, "The Elders just told me this bit of information, but nothing else, although that a demon *may* be involved. They aren't sure." Phoebe looks up at Cole's face, and says, "If Leo says so, then you are. We just have to find out how."

Prue rolls her eyes, muttering, "A demon? Figures."

Piper scrunches up her face at the thought of ANOTHER demon, and says in an explosive sigh, "Don't they ever stop?"

Cole looks at the two sisters, then down at Phoebe. "No. I don't think they still know I'm still here. They probably think I'm still vanquished."

Leo nods. He explains that he knows why Cole hasn't been detected before now. Cole's face becomes intense, and focused on Leo. The three sisters look at Leo, in expectation. Leo clears his throat in somewhat embarrassment and uncomfortableness. Leo then states, "Well... It's just that Cole hasn't used his power yet. Plus on top of that, the Source doesn't consider him to be a threat, even if they have discovered a "new" witch on the scene...They, for some reason, can't figure out who the 'new witch' is, but they also have searched your 'potential', and dismiss it as unthreatening."

Cole's face takes on conflicting expressions, irksomeness and relief warring, but relief overcomes his features. He smiles, saying, "Wow. I'm somewhat relieved. But...If and when I discover my power...?" Leo smiles wryly, and mentions that the Elders have given Cole some protection against the Source.

Piper says, "WHAT? They gave Cole protection, when they gave us a hard time ??", to Leo, with a peeved expression.

Phoebe looks at Piper warningly, "Hey!" Piper looks downcast and apologizes to Cole, "Sorry... just the Elders can drive me nuts." Cole smiles after a moment, and tells Piper, "That's okay." Prue interrupts the conversation, and says, "So, How do we find Kevin? Get an atlas and start scrying?" Phoebe's heart sinks at that comment. She says, in a hopelessvoice, "But that would take TOO long!" Cole sighs and looks at Leo, muttering, "I suppose I should try finding out what my power is. Give me all the maps. I'll try scrying." Cole lets go of Phoebe and draws out the atlas of the world. "Anyone got a pendelum?" The group shake their heads no. Cole sighs, "Dammit. Now what?" Leo suddenly has an idea, and says to Cole, "Hey.. maybe you don't need a pendelum? Try just moving your hand over the maps, and think about Kevin."

Cole has an idea, and asks Phoebe in a tentative voice, "Uh, Phoebe. Can you give me an image of Kevin, to work with?"

Phoebe is stunned. She doesn't know if her newfound telepathy ability could work with Cole, since it seems like it only works with other Tomorrow People. She holds up a finger, and tells everyone to wait. Her forehead creases, indicating that she is trying to ask the other TP something. Phoebe casts out her mind, and asks, [ Hey! Anyone busy? I got a question! ]

The only one who didn't seem to be busy, was Megabyte. He is drumming his fingers on his desk at home, trying to think of a way to find Kevin, but coming up empty. The others are withdrawn, and busy, elsewhere, or they seem to be. He got up and paced his room.

His head snaps up as he hears Phoebe call out, [ Hey! Anyone busy? I got a question! ]

He answers, glad to hear from someone, [ Hey Phoebe! I'm here. What's on your mind? ], lightly keeping his frustration, and concern out of his mental voice.

Phoebe smiles and answers, [ Hey Megabyte. I ..ah... was wondering since telepathy with me is shared only with the other TPs, but has anything ever happened, like a TP had to 'feed' someone who isn't an telepath, an image? ]

Megabyte muses over this question, then replies, [ Uh, I have NO idea, Phoebe. As far as I know, we haven't had the need to. Why? ]

Phoebe mentally shrugs, and says, [ I may have an idea. You know Cole, right? ]

Megabyte mentally nods, and states, [ Yeah. I haven't met him yet. May I come over? ]

Phoebe withdraws for a moment, and looks at her sisters, Leo, and Cole. "Do you mind if Megabyte comes over?"

They all agree that it is okay for Megabyte to come over, to help. Piper adds, "One more head never hurts!", and chuckles. Prue cracks a smile. Leo holds Piper closer. Cole looks at Phoebe and nods.

Phoebe smiles, and touches Megabyte's mind, [ Come on over! ] A static implosion heralds the arrival of the orange haired young man. Cole jumps slightly. He isn't used to the teleporting effect of the Tomorrow People yet. Megabyte waves, and smiles at the crowd. They all greet each other for a few seconds, then Megabyte prods Phoebe with a question, "Well, Phoebe, you said you had an idea about Kevin?"

Phoebe nods with assent, and says, "So, I'm basically trying to 'give' an image of Kevin to Cole here, so he can try scrying for him."

Megabyte nods, "So you're Cole? I'm Megabyte. The rest of the folks know me. Nice to meet you, man. You're all Phoebe talks about!" Megabyte finishes off that comment with a wry grin and a laugh.

Cole becomes a wee bit embarrassed, and gives out a small chuckle. Phoebe playfully swats Megabyte's shoulder. "You stop that!" Prue and Piper laugh at the joke. Piper gives Phoebe a dry glance, and says, "OH yeah we KNOW what you're talking about!", which prompts laughter from the entire crowd.

Phoebe grins and says in a mock stern voice, "You guys STOP that. We seriously have to get to this!"

The two sisters clear their throats in an attempt to get serious. Leo smiles somewhat broadly, but nods. Cole looks at her and nods. He says, "Go ahead. Try it, Phoebe. "

Phoebe stamds in front of Cole, relaxing her shields. She is surprised as the barrier in her mind thins, that she can hear thoughts of a confusing nature emanating from each person. She quickly looks at Megabyte, but he doesn't say anything. She ignores the ambient thoughts, and focuses on Cole's mind. She frames the image of Kevin's face, and softly 'sends' it to Cole. She is not prepared for Cole's reaction.

Cole tries to relax, as Phoebe prepares to send him an 'image'. His feelings are somewhat confused. He suddenly gets a crisp clear image that feels like it's been burned into his memory. He flinches and takes a backward step, and lets out a soft moan of pain. Phoebe immediately stops sending, and reaches out for Cole's face. She caresses Cole's cheek. "Are you alright honey? What happened?"

Cole shakes his head momentarily, and tries to reassure Phoebe with a warm smile, "It's okay. It was weird. It was like someone had 'put' that image in my mind, as a.. as... a memory. a very intense and strong one." He places his hand on his temple, and rubs it.

Phoebe looks Cole with an apologetic glance, then glares at Megabyte asking, "Has this EVER happened before?" Megabyte shakes his head no. "Most of the time we don't normally *need* to telepath to nontelepaths, but Kevin was the only one who could read nontelepath's minds, before he broke out." Phoebe is left with an interesting tidbit that she files away in her mind. Leo pipes up, "Cole, do you feel like you're ready?" Cole blinks at Leo, but nods. He waves the back of his hand over the maps, and suddenly a sparkle of light emerges from his palm. Everyone stares at the sparkle of light. It seems to shine steadily. Cole stammers, "What the hell is this?" and moves his hand to the left. The sparkle of light grows dim. Then he moves it to the right. The sparkle of light grows brighter.

Prue notices the sparkle of light's pattern. She is puzzled, because she seems to have seen it before, somewhere. She has a blaze of insight. "That's IT!" Phoebe looks at Prue in a little confused expression, "What?"

Prue impatiently points out the pattern. "I was thinking of where that sparkle of light was from. I remember a light hitting Cole like that, when we healed him. Remember the second spell?"

Phoebe and Piper nod at Prue. Phoebe prods, "Prue, and..?"

Prue adds, "It's growing dimmer, when we're off the wrong track! and brighter when on the right one!" Phoebe inquires, "So. what does that mean?" Leo understands immediately what Cole can do, and stares at Phoebe, "Don't you get it? He's a 'Finder'. Like a personal scrier. A person who can 'find' people with special abilities."

Phoebe's face is illuminated in understanding, and asks Cole, "Ah! Got it. Where is your hand over?" Piper peers down closely. Megabyte hovers near Cole's shoulder, impatient to see where Kevin might be. The map is open to the country of France. Megabyte looks at the map, and his heart sinks for a moment, with a thought of, [ France?? Where the hell is Kevin in France? Why is he there? ] Phoebe looks at Megabyte with tenderness, and puts her hand on his shoulder, while she mentally tells him that it will be alright. Leo observes the exchange between Megabyte and Phoebe.

Phoebe speaks, "Megabyte, it will be okay. We will find him. Cole, can't you pinpoint where he is in France?" Cole ponders for a moment about his new ability. Cole smiles at Phoebe. He then looks at the entire group and takes a deep breath. "I don't really know. I was just thinking of Kevin, and asking where he is. It just seems to be *somewhere* in France." He thinks for another moment, and has an idea, and explains, "Hey! Maybe...if I had a map of the entirety of France, or at least close to ..." He looks closer to the sparkle of light, and notices where the sparkle rests. It rests on the capital of France. Paris. The sisters and Megabyte, Leo along with Cole have shocked expressions. Leo smiles, "Well, at least we're going to a romantic place." Piper chuckles weakly, and punches Leo's shoulder softly, and hisses, "Be nice!"

He chuckles then looks up, frowning, at the ceiling, and Piper looks at him, groaning, "Oh no Not now, Leo!"

Leo gravely nods, "Yes, I'm sorry Piper. They need me." He gives Piper a long kiss, then vanishes in twinkling blue and white orbs. Megabyte looks in wonder at Leo's departure. "Wow. How does he do that?" Prue chuckles and pats Megabyte on the shoulder.

Piper glares at the ceiling, but looks at her sisters. "Now what?"

Phoebe's face sets into a firm expression, with eyes that glint, says, "To Paris, then."

Megabyte moves a space backwards, and thinks out loud, [ Did you guys hear that? ]

A chorus of voices reply back, [ Yes, Megabyte. We heard everything. ]

Phoebe nods at Megabyte. She thinks to her friends, [ We need a plan. I'll fill you guys in a minute. ]

Ami interjects with a wistful tone, [ Paris?? How romantic! ] Jade laughs internally at Ami's tone, and interjects, [ Heh. I know you THINK it's romantic, since you're WITH Adam. Everyone knows it! ] Adam's mind is overlayed with embarrassment, [ Hey Jade! Stop nosing around! ]

Prue, Piper and Cole are looking at Phoebe and Megabyte laughing. Prue shakes her finger at Phoebe, "That's SO rude, Pheebs! Talking without filling us in." Phoebe looks sheepish, and Megabyte nods wisely.

Piper wonders what that was all about, and says so. Phoebe smiles. "That was just our friends talking about how romantic Paris is, and Ami and Adam ...and Jade teasing them. " Prue and Piper chuckle. Cole looks bemused.

Meanwhile, in Paris, France, in an underground cave, near the sewer system, to the north of Paris' main aqueduct -

Kevin groggily gains awareness, of himself, and his surroundings. Dark. Dank. Damp. Water drips in the distance, behind Kevin. His first thoughts are, / Where am I? What happened? / A demon shimmers in front of him, and cackles evilly. "So my boy, you have finally awakened. I need your powers. You have an interesting latent power. I will use you as bait to destroy the Charmed Ones."

Kevin looks at the Demon in disgust. "You will never get them! I will not help you!" He tries to use his telepathy, [ Phoebe?? Adam?? Jade?? Anyone?? ], shouting to anyone who might hear him, but to no avail. The Demon rubs his hands together, and chuckles. "You can't use your powers. I've cast a spell on you to block them. Although, you have frightening potential to become a witch, It's too bad you will not live long enough to be." Kevin's eyes widen at this revelation. He stares at the Demon, who stands at a tall six foot three, with glowing blue eyes, and talons. Extremely sharp talons, notes Kevin, to himself. He gulps in fear. The Demon manically laughs then points at Kevin, encasing him in a strong cage made of granite bars. Kevin now notices an odd 'pressure' in his head, and blinks, to try to shake it off. It continues to persist, but at a very low level, tolerable to Kevin. He vainly tries to teleport, but only succeeds in gaining a headache between his eyes.

Kevin sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose. He mutters to himself, "Now what?", slumping onto the floor of his granite prison. His eyes look forlorn, and his expression downcast. His heart feels heavy. His thoughts echo onto themselves, spinning in a circle. Where is everyone? Where's Phoebe? Who is this demon? What other power do I have?

Meanwhile, his headache is growing somewhat worse. He rubs his temples tenderly, trying to think, but feels restless, and takes short paces in the small granite cage.

Back at the P^3 club, Phoebe has come up with an idea, as evident in her expression. Prue is impatient, and prods Phoebe, "So? What's the plan?"

Phoebe explains to the group, "I will teleport with Cole over to Paris." Piper interrupts, "But, but... what about us? What if it's a demon?" Phoebe ponders. Prue looks at Phoebe with a glare. "You wouldn't leave us here, would you, Phoebe?"

Phoebe is taken back. "Erm. No I wouldn't. I just thought it'd be safer for just him and I. You know, teleport in and back out. Cole's the one who can 'find' him, and I do have my pathfinding ability too. Although I don't know how accurate it is, without getting a premonition." Prue acknowlegdes this fact with an expaserated, yet knowing glance.

Megabyte thinks to himself, and contacts Adam on a tight line, [ Hey. You mind coming over here? We know where Kevin is. But Phoebe's sisters don't want to go without Phoebe. Phoebe's planning to go with Cole, since He's a 'finder', as well as Phoebe. Want to come along? We need more people to teleport all of us. ]

Adam gives Megabyte a mental nod, [ Yeah, no problem. I'll inform the rest. I can't speak for them, since they may all want to come. But I'll try to tell them to stay. ] Adam chuckles. [ If I know Jade...she'll probably tag along. Ami probably too. ]

Adam withdraws from Megabyte's mindtouch. He then contacts the rest of the Tomorrow People, [ Hey. I've got some news. ]

He is barraged with impatient and frantic responses by Ami and Jade.

Jade fires at Adam, [ Is Kevin Okay?? ]

Ami gives Adam a reply overlayed with concern in her mental voice, [ What happened? Adam, where is Kevin? ]

Adam chuckles back, and replies to the two women, [ Ami, Jade, He is sorta okay, I think. I got a relay from Megabyte, that Phoebe has found Kevin, or at least his general whereabouts. Something about Cole's new power. And Phoebe was planning to go there ... With Cole. She feels that she is better off only with Cole, but she did mention that if anyone wants to help out. Megabyte asked me to come out to help teleport the entire group, since it's agreed that her sisters are going with. ] Ami thinks for a moment, and adds to the conversation, [ Yes, but it's better in numbers. I think we all should be there. We can split up if we have to. Plus all of us can mindmerge to find Kevin when we get to Paris. ]

Jade inserts a comment with a bold tone, [ You aren't leaving me alone! I'll be there! ]

Phoebe listens with wide eyes to this exchange. She looks at her sisters and Cole. "We're getting help." Cole looks at her with raised eyebrows. Her sisters nod. Phoebe adds, "Adam, Ami, and Jade are coming."

A set of three static implosions and flashes of light herald the three Tomorrow People, Adam, Ami, and Jade. Adam, a lanky tall male, with a ponytail, smiles softly at everyone. Jade waves quietly, in jeans, and a turtleneck, with long blonde hair. Ami has a smile that would light up a room, with dark pools where her eyes would be, dressed in a conservative shirt, and jeans.

Jade puts her hand out, "I'm Jade. Nice to meet you all, finally."

Ami smiles and does the same, "I'm Ami."

Adam nods at the three sisters. "You've met me, but I haven't met Cole." He then turns to Cole, and shakes his hand.

Adam becomes serious. "Okay. Time to get this plan into action!" Everyone nods.

Phoebe takes Prue's hand into hers. Prue takes Piper's into hers. Piper takes Jade's hand. Jade holds Ami's hand. Ami holds Adam's hand. Adam holds Megabyte's hand, which earns a mental comment to Adam, in a tight link, [ Hey, that doesn't mean we're having a date later! ], with a dry chuckle, overlayed. Adam smiles, with a dry, somewhat annoyed at Megabyte for a moment. Megabyte puts his hand on Cole's hand, to grasp it. Cole completes the circle, to clasp his beloved's hand.

All the Tomorrow People concentrate on getting to Paris, France. Static auras begin to form on every person in the circle, seemingly to strain themselves. Finally, after a time stretch of a few seconds, white flashes and implosions took place of the former occupants.

A circle of eight figures slowly forms from eight implosions and white flashes. Everyone lets go of each other, for a moment. Phoebe looks around her in awe. Wow. Very nice view of the Effifel Tower. Cole is the last to recover, feeling weak. He holds his hand up to his head, and feels a little woozy. Adam looks at Cole, concerned. He puts his hand on Cole's shoulder, to heal him, but apparently it is not needed.

Adam then understands, "Ah. Cole, We aren't too used to teleporting a large group of people with us. Maybe that's why you're feeling woozy. You haven't been teleported have you?" Cole shakes his head. "I'll be alright, thank you."

Phoebe prods Cole, "Try looking for him again." Cole looks at Phoebe in puzzlement, and asks her, "Can't you find the path to Kevin?" Phoebe shrugs, and replies, "I don't know. Usually a chill precedes my pathfinding episodes. I haven't figured out how to do it on purpose. I just haven't had ANY chills at least regarding Kevin."

Cole looks at Phoebe, and nods in a focused manner. He puts his palm out, and attempts to 'bring' out his power. Focusing on Kevin's image so intently, and moving his hand in an arc, He doesn't notice the sparkle has grown into a medium sized globe with a steady glow. Phoebe gasps, shattering his concentration. Cole blinks, and looks at Phoebe with a little puzzled glance, "What, Phoebe?" The Sisters also gasp at the sight in Cole's palm. Prue says, "Look at your palm, Cole." Cole finally notices the sparkle, yet a globe at this point. Cole realizes and declares, "Oh my. I guess my power also indicates how CLOSE we are as well. That is damn useful." He adds a chuckle to himself. Prue grins, and Piper is relieved. The other Tomorrow People are rejoicing inside.

Megabyte has an idea. He snaps his fingers. "Hey! How about we try 'centering' our thoughts on him? Maybe we can find him at this distance now."

The others all readily agree. They pair off, this time. Phoebe, holding onto Cole, smiles. Megabyte reaches out his hand toward Piper, "May we?" She smiles at this young gentleman's brash and charming offer. She takes his hand. Ami smiles at Prue. She takes Prue's hand. Jade and Adam stand apart, not holding hands. Jade smiles and says, "We two can teleport there and meet you there." Adam nods. They all teleport instanteously toward Kevin's direction.

At the Cave mouth, eight figures appear in a static aura and white implosion. Cole staggers for a moment, then recovers.

They walk into the cave, but it isn't too far within, that they spy Kevin, sleeping, in his cage. They all rush over to Kevin, and try to reach him, but somehow a forcefield is barring everyone's way, inbetween the granite bars. Megabyte is frantic, and tries to rouse Kevin by half whispering, and half urgent, "Kevin??? Wake up!"

Kevin groggily wakes up, blinks his eyes, and takes in the sight, then whoops for joy!

"You guys made it here! I'm so glad to see you guys!" He looks at the people he cares for. "You must leave! There's a demon .... He somehow made me blocked, with a spell, or something. He wants my powers, to kill you three."

Phoebe looks at Kevin, and mutters in a sarcastic tone, "Well, that's NEWS!"

Megabyte looks at his best friend, and asks, "What power? You have pretty much the same powers the Charmed Ones do..."

Kevin looks at them all in frustration, his eyes nearly tearing. "I have NO idea. I've had a headache that seems to be getting a little worse everytime I try any of my powers. Maybe I have another that hasn't emerged yet?"

Adam looks at Kevin somewhat doubtfully. "I don't really know. I thought when we 'broke' out, we already had all the powers in full measure after that." Kevin's thoughts dwelled on this issue, and a feeling tells him that all will be revealed soon.

There doesn't seem to be any choice, but to wait. They don't have to wait long, as a Demon shimmers in. He is shocked to see the Charmed Ones, already in the palm of his hand. He grins, and states, "Already, the Charmed Ones are in my palm."

Prue glares at the Demon, and shoots off, "Think again, Buster!"

The Demon wags his finger at Prue, and warns, "No using your powers, and that means all of you, or this boy is dead."

In an instant, Kevin 'disappears' and reappears in the Demon's hand, hanging from the collar of his shirt.

"Aieee!", screams a hysterical Kevin, wiggling his legs.

Phoebe starts forward, but is stopped by Adam. "Wait, Phoebe. Let's wait a moment."

"Why, Adam?? We must save him!", cries a hysterical Phoebe. Cole puts his hand on Phoebe's shoulder, to calm her.

The demon witnesses this display, and laughs. Prue looks at Piper for a moment and nods. Piper understands instantly.

Phoebe notices her two sister's look at each other. Phoebe gets into a fighting stance, to defend the group.

Kevin stares at the three sisters' interaction, and is prompted by a feeling of something he must do NOW.

He has the weirdest feeling that he must 'focus' onto the two sisters.

Prue and Piper start chanting:

   "Demon from Hell, We banish Thee,
    The Charmed Sisters Two,
    The darkest pit of hell, thee do go,
    We command it, as Charmed Ones!"

The Demon laughs at the Two sister's pitifiul attempt to destroy him, with a Power of Two spell, when it'd need a third, then realizes Kevin's attention has been focused onto them. He growls in rage, throws Kevin across the room. Kevin lands at the wall, then slumps down with a groan. His headache has grown to monumental porportions. The Demon screams, "NOOOOOOO!", his form shimmering, and bursting into flames. His charred remains lay on the ground, proof that the Demon had indeed been vanquished. The three sisters are congratulatory in their victory for only a moment, when Adam notices Kevin clutching his head. Adam rushes to Kevin, and in a panic, inquires, "KEVIN? Are you OK?"

Kevin is moaning, while clutching his head. He shakes his head no. The other TP cluster around Kevin, and Megabyte has an odd notion. Megabyte speaks out loud, "Hey. How about if we try to cushion the pain in his mind, or something, and see what happens?" Jade looks at him in surprise. "We can do that?" Adam figures it out instantly, "Of course! He must be becoming a new type of telepath or something. Quick. Let's all hold hands, around Kevin.

Phoebe looks in at this conversation, and timidly asks, "Do you want me to help?" Ami smiles with her gentle eyes, and nods at Phoebe. "Come join us. You're one of us too."

Phoebe takes Kevin's hand, and Megabyte's hand. She wonders what to do next. Adam looks at Phoebe and picks up her uncertainity. Adam smiles and reassures, "Don't worry. I know what to do. Just establish a mental link with all of us. I'll do the rest." Phoebe nods.

Phoebe relaxes the kinks out of her neck, and establishs a mental link with the rest of the Tomorrow People. The link is not anything she has ever experienced in her life. So many voices, unique personalities, all linked, in one intimate merge. The Focus of the link sends along the link, [ OK. Let's go. Time to help Kevin. ]

Adam looks intently at Kevin, and takes his head in his hands, and closes his eyes.

/ PAIN! MAKE IT GO AWAY! HELP ME! / are the uppermost chaotic thoughts emanating from Kevin's tortured mind.

Tearing pain assaults at their minds, but Adam holds the pain in his mind, distributing it evenly, causing the other TP lesser pain, but they all know that it was a risk, to help Kevin. They hold their minds steady, against the onslaught.

Just when the pain begins to feel like it will never end, doubles itself. The TP's faces clench, teeth grinding, trying to hold the pain inside. Kevin moans and begins to push at the pressure inside his head, which is evident in his own mind, as a pulsing center of power. He begins to feel lightheaded, and his mind reasserts itself, into a crystalline pattern, flinging Adam out of his mind. Adam jumps back with shock, the link shattered between the TP.

Kevin's headache is gone. He feels curious. He gasps, as he suddenly remembers his conversation with Lyon, in "Dream Time". Jade peers at Kevin, and asks, "Are you okay, Kevin?" Kevin nods, and replies, "I think so. I don't feel any headaches anymore." Megabyte lets out a laugh of joy. Ami looks relieved and grins broadly. Adam runs his hand through his hair, with a tired smile. The Three Sisters, and Cole look onto this with relief that the crisis is over.

Cole walks up behind Phoebe, and kneels. "Phoebe, you okay?" Phoebe nods, and is helped up by Cole's hand.

Megabyte is alive with curiousity. "So what power did you just get?"

Kevin looks at Megabyte. "The power of amplification. of abilities. He wanted it. " He doesn't mention that the demon had told him that He has the potential become a witch, sooner or later. Kevin's expression looks sick at the idea of the demon possibly stealing his powers.

Phoebe puts her arm around Kevin, helping him up. "It's okay Kevin. We're used to them trying to take our powers. All we can do is try to prevent it when they do try."

Prue looks at Kevin with respect, and admiration, stating, "Oh so that is what helped us? I somewhat 'felt' something else helping us with the spell."

Kevin nods at Prue. Phoebe looks at her sister, amazed. "How did you feel that?"

Prue is unable to explain it. She shrugs her shoulders without a clue.

Cole looks around, and suggests that they all leave as soon as possible. Everyone else agrees.

9 figures vanish into the dark breezy night. To more adventures of the Charmed Ones, and the Tomorrow People.

[Fin] for now.
