Piper held onto Phoebe's arm, supporting her. She glanced sadly at the Source, wondering if Bel was in there at all. Knowing he wouldn't want to live like this, she began to recite the spell.
Phoebe was crying so hard now that she was having trouble speaking. However, she continued to say the words of the spell as she was supported by her two sisters.
Phoebe cried out when the chamber shook and when she looked up, she saw that he was gone. She stumbled forward to the scorch mark... and then buried her afce in her hands.
Phoebe stood there, hoping that all of it had been a nightmare, that Cole was fine and they hadn't been forced to vanquish him. She looked up again and when she again saw the evidence of what they had just done, she broke down completely.
"Phoebe," Piper said hesitantly. She really wasn't sure what to say right now. Nothing she could say would be the right thing at the moment. Instead, she slowly walked over to her sister, wrapping her arms around her.
Paige didn't have any words either, but she walked over and hugged both of her sisters, figuring that knowing they were there was the best support they could offer at the moment.
Piper spotted Lana and nodded at her, letting her know it was okay to intrude. She knew Phoebe could use the love and support from everyone who cares about her.
Wilson stood quietly back, trying not to look at the spot where Bel had been. They had Phoebe and though he thought he'd seen a glimer of...relief on the Source's face, Wilson couldn't help feeling that Bel had been lost.
He made no move to interupt the family moment but slowly he began to look around. They couldn't stay here forever, eventually someone...something was going to come investigating the powerful magics being thrown around.
"Do we have an exit strategy?" Wilson asked softly, to no one in particular.
Anders hung back from the group a bit, looking stunned and a little sick. He wanted to offer his condolences, or say something useful, but he was a little too shellshocked to get the words out of his head and into some kind of coherent form.
Biting her lip as she tried to keep her face neutral, Isabel warily studied the room. The Source might be gone but there were still plenty of other demons to give them trouble. Noticing Anders distress, she walked over to stand silently next to him.
Tannim remained at the back of the group. He'd stayed out of the battle to conserve energy for the portal home, and he didn't know Phoebe well enough to say anything now.
To Wilson he said, "I'll build the Gate home when everyone's ready to go."
