Good 'morrow all! I wrote this while on spring break. Writing for Wizards of Waverly Place is not really my specialty, but I have an itch to test the Wizarding waters. There are no Wizards versus Angels fanfictions with Justin that I have found (as of when I wrote this in February of 2011). And I wanted to read Justin's reaction to everything and even experiment with him being a little evil or possessed by the desire to please and be evil at the same time, but I didn't find anything and decided to write it out for myself and see how it went. I think the writers could've expanded on so much because they gave Justin's character a lot of potential for growth on both the good and dark side. And Alex fighting for good AND her brother? Now there's something you don't see her do everyday.
This first chapter goes in depth in the characters' feelings and thoughts with dialogue from the episode (not mine) just to re-establish everything and refresh your memory.
Do we really need disclaimers saying we own nothing? It's pretty obvious that none of this is mine.
The devastation on Justin's face was not as shocking as Alex had hoped for when Rosie showed off her, not white, but black as night angel wings. Alex hoped the revelation of Rosie's true identity would disgust Justin enough to dump the Angel of Darkness back into the Wizarding realm. Then Justin would go back to being the good and sweet and annoying and goody-two-shoes brother she knew and loved. It was heart-wrenching and hope-crushing to watch Justin do all those terrible things with Rosie. It didn't look right. Sure, Alex had played many more pranks, but she was not cruel about it. That old guy whose bag "broke" would have to go buy more groceries. That mom who paid for that popped balloon for her child would have to calm her baby. And that flower guy would lose profit. Alex did play pranks for entertainment; however, what Rosie was making Justin do was...evil.
"Why don't you get to flapping those grungy looking wings right back to..." she paused, keeping her finger pointed at the fallen angel, and turned to Tina and said in a side voice, "Where do Angels of Darkness go?"
"The Dark Realm." Tina piped up, glad to help.
"The Dark Realm." Alex concluded, positive Justin would not be seduced by this evil girl in front of their eyes. Alex had outed her secret. There was no way Justin would put up with a liar. He was too good for that.
"Fine. If that's what Justin wants." Rosie cockily inclined her head to Justin, faux concern sweeping her face.
Justin looked crestfallen as he went from Rosie to Alex then to Rosie again. Who would he trust? His conniving sister who could sometimes be trusted-especially when she looked as hopeful and caring as she did now-or this beautiful Angel of Darkness he'd only known for a short while. The right choice was obvious, but Justin's insides were burning: scorched from Rosie's presence and influence. He felt drawn to her despite the wrong they did. It wasn't really hurting anyone; it was all in good fun! Rosie's expression changed infintestimally.
Like an eagle snatching a mouse, darkness seized Justin, and he gave in to the temptation. He didn't feel it consume his heart and his mind because he was too focused on Rosie. His want for Rosie fed the darkness welling up inside him and clouding his morals.
The Angel of Darkness was invading his head, too. Please Justin! She wants to drive us apart! She is jealous of our relationship and wants to be the family Wizard. She's playing on your morals, but you can trust me! You know I'm always there for you! I am an angel, after all.
Justin made up his mind and embraced Rosie. He wrapped his arms around her and leaned into her evil aura. Rosie smirked at Alex as she hugged her man tighter then nuzzled into his neck.
Alex's mouth dropped. Since when did Justin make bad mistakes? Since when did Justin make mistakes? She remembered how those same arms had hugged her many times. She was crushed. Alex ripped Justin out of the hug by his arm.
"Justin keep up! She's an Angel of Darkness!" Alex gestured to Rosie and her black wings. Justin rolled his eyes and shrugged. She grabbed Justin's shoulders trying to force him to look at her. He never took his eyes off Rosie.
"Rosie, I don't care what kind of angel you are. As long as we're together." He wrenched himself from his sister's grip and stood by his girlfriend. He put an arm around Rosie's waist.
Alex threw her hands up in frustration. "Justin, stop it! Can't you see what she's doing to you? She's influencing you. You're not yourself!"
"Alex, mind your own beeswax." Justin gave her an annoyed glare she had never seen before. He moved his hand up and down Rosie's waist.
"No! She doesn't deserve you! I won't just do nothing while she destroys your life!" Alex resorted to pleading. Her brother usually had a soft spot if she hit the right buttons, but he was too absorbed and stubborn and stuck on Rosie.
"Destroys my life? Please." he laughed a hard laugh. "Doing nothing never bothered you before."
True, but this isn't the time! "But this isn't you. You were not made for all this...darkness. You're the good one."
"Not anymore, Alex." Justin looked at Alex urging her to understand and to back away.
Rosie enjoyed the hateful bicker, but she was growing impatient. They had better things to do. And now that Justin knew the truth..."C'mon, Justin, let's blow this popsicle." ...the real fun could begin.
Justin brushed some of Rosie's hair behind her ear. "That's the kind of talk I like to hear."
Rosie smirked. "Ready?" They grabbed each others hands, intertwining them. Rosie's black wings grew larger and enveloped them and they disappeared in a whoosh of feathery blackness.
Alex and Tina were left, devastated, in the Sub Station.
Alex plopped down, disheartened, onto a stool. "I can't believe he really did it."
Tina put a hand on her shoulder in comfort. "It'll be okay. We'll get him back. I can help find him! Let me help! Please, please, please!" She started jumping up and down.
Alex looked at her pouty, energetic face. Though she preferred to work alone, it might help to have someone who kind of knows what she's doing. And she's an angel. Shouldn't that count for something? "Oh, fine. You can-"
Tina threw her arms up in excitement. She began running around the station. "Yes! Wooo!"
"Okay, settle down, small child." Alex grabbed her as she ran by her.
"Sorry. I'm easily excited." Tina explained as she put her hands together and swayed in an angelic, innocent matter.
"Obviously." Alex rubbed her forehead in a I-can't-believe-this-mess way. Since when did Justin matter so much? He was her brother, but she didn't want to lose him after all they had gone through together. And they both had lost so much and grown from it. Seeing Justin evil was painful. He was the most perfect, nicest, and most caring guy she had ever met. She had never known someone to tip the mailman or apologize when someone tripped like Justin did. It was ridiculous! He even took the care to obsessively scrub, paint, and sand the walls and booths in the Sub Station to eradicate any cuss words so people would not be offended or insulted. Brothers: can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.
I really enjoy reading reviews so please tell me what you think.
