WARNING: mention of suicide.

Max is at the kitchen table. He opens a portal window. First he is going to check some of his favorite Other World fathers, then set the program to visit his fathers' past.
Cardigan!Magnus and his Alec are making wedding plans. Max wonders if he will get an invitation.
Idiot!Magnus and his Alec are snuggling on the sofa watching Titanic.
Maxine and her fathers are at the Bronx Zoo.
Doctor!Magnus is sitting on his sofa crying.
Max closes the window and runs to his room for his laptop. He returns to the table and powers up the laptop. He taps on the keyboard as he impatiently waits for it to boot up.
Magnus is a general practitioner. He was covering for Alec's regular doctor, who was on vacation, when Alec needed a refill on his migraine meds. They started dating a week later. Alec moved into the loft, a month after that. He is a Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney.
Finally the laptop is ready and Max wastes no time trying to find out what happened to Alec. He finds it in a newspaper headline.
Popular Brooklyn Assistant DA killed in car bombing.
Max stares at the screen for a minute or two, then pushes the laptop away from him and takes out his phone.
He texts HIS Magnus and Alec a simple "Hi". He holds the phone tight and waits.
His phone beeps a few minutes later. Poppa
Hi, Max. The client is ranting about the high cost of bat's wings.
Max giggles. They are expensive Poppa.
True but they are very useful. Everything okay?
Yes Poppa.
Good, let me get back to work. Love you, see you later.
Max smiles.
Max taps on the table and wonders why it is taking Alec so long to answer him.
Finally his phone beeps. Daddy.
Sorry Blueberry. Phone was buried underneath stupid paperwork.
Max giggles. Maybe I should create a portal & send the paperwork to Queens?
That sounds like a great idea, Max. Too bad you can't. Everything ok?
Yes Daddy.
You sure?
Max smiles, ShadowHunters are so suspicious. He giggles as he remembers Alec scanning the room, when he first walked in, at his wedding. Yes Daddy, everything is fine.
Okay then, see you later.
Love you Daddy.
Love you more, Blueberry.
Max smiles and puts his phone on the table. He takes a deep breath and pulls the laptop close to him. He reads the article, then researches and finds other articles.
Doctor!Magnus was found in his bathtub a week later, dead.
There were no suspects in Alec's murder. Even after a year, his murderer was never found.
Max wipes away tears as he reads article after article. They were engaged a month before Alec's murder and were planning to get married by the end of the year.
Max syncs up his phone and stands up. Whoever killed Alec had better watch out, Max is after their ass.
He sets his invisibility glamour, opens a portal, pockets his phone and walks through.
