Story 4
Slightly Evil Magnus Verse
Clary and Izzy are really hitting it off, it's like a fairytale, Izzy can't believe she's found this amazing, magical girl…
But when a twist of fate leads to an unexpected discovery her entire world is shook.
Clary is the most magical person Izzy has ever met…
But how will she cope when she realizes that's not in fact an exaggeration?
Meanwhile Magnus is trying to set up his new business, but a crooked PI seems dead set on derailing it before it even really begins… Generally this wouldn't be much of an issue, however the man is completely human, and too stupid to sense what a threat Magnus actually is…
Sigh…
He'd take demons over arrogant morons any day…
Notes:
Kay, here we go again…
First off with the title being a band name I had to have some reference to them…honestly it's not really my type of music (apologies to those that are, no offense meant) but I absolutely loved it for a title so I had to use it.
I decided to name each chapter after a song of theirs; luckily they fit kinda perfectly (though looking at the lyrics to some it might be a disconnect so far as the content of the chapter, but the titles sound like they fit).
Next apparently with this series I'm just not content having one storyline, I actually have three going in this one (And planned for the next…and probably so on…oops)
We have Clary/Izzy Dramatics, The Shifty PI and Jace's first meeting with Raphael and Magnus….
So, I'm just gonna throw this out there? We're gonna meet Jace this story and quite frankly he's gonna be pretty much a total jackass-
I know, I know I was hard on him in the last series and this one honestly he's gonna be even worst BUT there's totally a reason- I swear there is…
(A character redemption story arc is always better the worse off they start, right?)
It will all pay off in the end…until then you're all just gonna have to trust me.
Alright, enough of the random disclaimers, let's see where this one ends up.
Chapter 1;
Dancing's Not A Crime
*~********~*~********~* Alec-Alec-Alec-Alec-Alec *~********~*~********~*"And so with the Connor's case we needed to-"
"Woah dude, I know you're not the most tech savvy guy in the world but I thought you knew you should keep porn separate from your regular photos." Jace interrupted with a chuckle.
Alec startled, head wiping up, glaring at him, blushing, looking around to see if any of the other people at the busy station heard him before turning back towards Jace, half in annoyance half in confusion.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Alec snapped,
Jace is leaning against his desk, looking through Alec's phone. Alec glared again, huffing faintly, reaching over snatching the phone away.
"I don't have anything like that on my phone. What did you do? I swear, if you've downloaded something that screws up my phone I'm gonna…"
Jace laughed shaking his head, quirking his eyebrow,
"Oh no, you're not putting this on me, that's all you bro."
Alec rolled his eyes, worriedly looking through the phone trying to brace himself for whatever Jace induced embarrassment he ran across but paused when he didn't see anything out of the ordinary,
He rolled his eyes,
Can't believe he fell for it,
"Ha, ha, very funny, you got me…made me look whatever. I'd think you'd of grew out of those kinda pranks by now, you are thirty. Max is the one that's still a teenager…isn't he supposed to be the immature one?"
"Oh please, like I'm gonna fall for that…you're getting better at bluffing though."
Alec gave him a sarcastic look,
"Bluffing?"
"Yeah…dude just figure out how to hide the pics of hot shirtless pretty boys somewhere people aren't just gonna stumble onto them…
I mean I totally don't mind them but if mom or dad or whatever saw them it'd be all kinds of awkwardness.
I'm just looking out for you bro."
Alec looked confused for a moment before blushing faintly, rolling his eyes,
"Well first off I doubt our close-minded, vaguely homophobic parents are gonna be looking through their openly gay son's phone, specifically because of that…
Hell they probably assume that's all there IS on there.
And besides that's not even porn."
Jace snorted,
"What? It's 'research'? Please…"
He huffed,
"It's not! It's nothing like that, It's just Magnus."
He quirked his eyebrow
"Magnus? What, is he an actor or singer or something?"
Alec shook his head,
"No…Magnus Bane. He's the owner of Pandemonium and is gonna be opening a Paranormal Private Investigation agency. We met two weeks ago; he helped us on the Branding murders."
Jace quirked his eyebrow,
"Aaand…you just randomly ran across a shirtless pic to keep in your phone? Uh…dude, you know that's kinda stalkery, right?"
Alec rolled his eyes,
"I didn't go searching for pictures of him. He sent that to me so I'd have a photo for his info too."
"Too?"
Alec shrugged, blushing,
"Well, when he put his number in my phone he snapped a photo for with my number."
"Uh huh…" Jace said disbelievingly,
"What? That's what happened…"
Jace snorted,
"Right…"
Alec huffed
"He did, I'm not stalking some random hot guy from a case!"
40 Minutes laterAlec huffed faintly, almost slamming the door as he got out of the car, making his way up to the office, shaking his head,
"I can't believe you think I'm some creepy, desperate stalker…" he grumbled, reaching the door, knocking quickly, pushing the door open, spotting Magnus coming out of the back room,
He faltered a bit…
Oh wow…
Man…he'd kinda thought he'd been romanticizing the guy, embellished how gorgeous he was…
If anything he'd downplayed it.
The picture was gorgeous but…damn it really didn't hold up to the real thing.
"H-hey Magnus…sorry to barge in like this…"he stammered, blushing faintly, moving a bit further into the office,
Magnus chuckled, settling on the edge of a large intricately carved wooden desk, giving a brilliant smile,
"No need to apologize gorgeous, I was happy to hear from you…" he paused, pouting, leaning closer, eyes bright and mischievous,
"I was starting to think you forgot about me…"
Alec laughed, rolling his eyes, settling next to him,
"Right, like that's possible." He muttered before blushing, realizing what he said,
Magnus quirked his eyebrow,
"I-umm, I mean, you know, I did meet you during a case in which I was almost sacrificed to a demon…kinda hard to forget."
He chuckled again, resting his hand on Alec's arm, eyes slipping over him before moving back up, meeting his gaze,
Alec gulped, settling closer
"Mmm…well it is very good to see you Alexander…so…you did not say in your text why you were so adamant about meeting…
Not that I am in any way complaining mind you, but what was it you needed?"
He paused, eyes sparking bright,
"Do we get to work our first official case?"
Alec blushed, shaking his head, rubbing nervously at the back of his neck,
"Oh, umm…no…not yet, sorry.
It's not actually anything even remotely professional."
Magnus perked up, giving an impish smirk, settling even closer to him, looking up at Alec through his lashes,
"Hmm…so…you want me for something…personal?"
Alec blushed brightly, shaking his head, giving a nervous laugh,
"Umm…n-not…that's not what I umm…t-that's uh…" he trailed off; rolling his eyes faintly at himself, taking a deep breath, giving Magnus a slightly exasperated smile, quirking his eyebrow,
"I know you did that on purpose."
He chuckled,
"Well of course I did gorgeous! Everything I do is intentional…besides…" he reached up, brushing along Alec's cheek,
"You are so very pretty when you blush like that."
Alec rolled his eyes,
"Are you done?"
Magnus smirked, shaking his head,
"Nope, not even close, but we can deal with your thing, then circle back to it.
So…what was it you needed to see me about?"
Alec shrugged,
"To prove to my brother that I'm not some creepy, desperate stalker."
Magnus blinked in confusion,
"Umm…what?"
Alec nodded quickly, gesturing faintly,
"I know right?! He was snooping on my phone and saw your picture, and apparently he decided that no way you just sent that to me, I had to of been looking up shirtless pictures of random guys I met on cases…"
Magnus gave a sharp surprised laugh, and a careless shrug,
"Well, what are you gonna do? Teenagers do tend to have wildly active imaginations and a propensity for drama."
Alec laughed,
"Uhh…no, actually Max is a lot more mature than that…This was Jace, he's the same age as Izzy."
Magnus blinked,
"Oh so…he's just a jackass."
"Yup." Alec chuckled
"Hey!"
Both men startled, turning towards the door,
Oh right…
Jace was with him…
Magnus looked him over rather dismissively,
"Hello?"
Alec shook his head, gesturing over towards him.
"Magnus, this is Jace, Jace, Magnus…
See? Not a stalker."
Jace looked Magnus over, far less dismissively, stepping forward, giving a slightly careless shrug, and an overly confident smirk,
"It was an honest mistake…Hi Magnus, Jace Wayland, very nice to meet you."
Magnus quirked his eyebrow, giving a sharp flicker of a smile right back
"I'm sure it is…for you in any case." Jace blinked in surprise, but was undeterred,
"So, you own Pandemonium? That's cool, I've been there a few times, I'm surprised I never saw you there."
"I'm just lucky I guess."
Jace laughed,
"And this p-"
"Okay Blondie? I'm going to just flat out tell you to stop…this is painful and you are doing nothing but embarrassing yourself."
Just stop."
Jace looked confused, shaking his head faintly,
"Wha-"
Magnus took a deep breath, tilting his head, eyes doing that flickering, flashing thing that kinda made Alec breathless,
It did not have the same effect on Jace
He seemed to freeze,
"First of? Your little 'honest mistake' was neither honest nor a mistake; it was a rude, obnoxious, smarmy comment by a self centered, egotistical jackass, and a pathetically desperate, underhanded ploy to meet someone you thought was hot, just assuming you'd have a shot…which- in case it wasn't blatantly clear from my tone? You don't.
No chance in hell." He stalked closer,
"Next, as you found my picture on Alexander's phone, and Alexander has my number, AND as I have been blatantly flirting with HIM for the last fifteen minutes…
So much so that neither of us even realized your presence; it should be quite clear to even the thickest headed of individuals that my attentions are already occupied."
He gave an almost disbelieving laugh, shaking his head faintly, eyes bright and dangerous advancing on him. Jace took a couple steps back, startling as his back hit the wall. He gulped, beginning to shake his head, but Magnus stopped him, raising his hand, pointing, Jace actually flinched back,
"You know? It takes a VERY special kind of audacious jackass to knowingly hit on a romantic interest of even a vague acquaintance, much less a sibling.
You, Jace, are the kind of person that gives bisexuals a bad name. People like you are the reason the rest of us are painted as desperate, wishy-washy messes that will sleep with anything with a pulse."
Oookay…someone definitely needed to call him out on this kinda thing but it should probably stop; he looked totally lost, verging on terrified…
Not that he didn't kinda totally deserve a bit of torment, but he got the feeling this went too much longer and Jace may end up fainting, or crying…
Whatever else he was, Jace was still his little brother.
Alec sighed, striding over, resting his hand on Magnus's shoulder. His breath caught at the odd tingling, electric buzz the contact caused, Magnus turned sharply facing him, eyes catching Alec's, flashing dangerously
Wow…that's new,
He swallowed faintly, hand squeezing Magnus's shoulder, trailing down his arm, the little adrenaline like buzz continuing, causing Alec's pulse to pick up a few tics.
Unconsciously he drifted closer, eyes slipping down to Magnus's lips of their own accord,
"T-that…umm…"
Woah…
Alec shook his head faintly, trying to snap out of whatever that was. Taking a deep breath, looking back up, once again meeting Magnus's eyes,
"Magnus…I-I think he's had enough."
He's eyes did that sparking thing, head tilting curiously, movement rather odd, almost predatory,
Alec gulped, leaning in a bit,
A mystifying little smirk flickered across his lips, eyes seeming to change, the look wasn't any less predatory, but now there was just a bit of an excited edge to the deep, bewitching gaze, a hint of a challenge,
It made Alec's breath catch, and compelled him to lean in just a little more,
Magnus smirked, biting his lower lip slightly, he relaxed, leaning against the wall reaching up, idly tracing along Alec's jaw,
"Mmm…Of course detective…anything you want." He purred in that soft, oddly melodic tone
Damn…
He had to fight down a bit of a whimper,
"T-thanks…" he trailed off
Magnus gave a low, soft chuckle that sent a thrill clear through Alec,
He gulped, leaning a bit heavily against the wall, just a few inches from Magnus, nearly brushing against him,
"Well, as I said in our first meeting, I am nothing if not accommodating. Just for you my darling detective I'll play nice. Even if he IS an overconfident, narcissistic jackass-"
Jace seemed to snap out of his bewilderment, huffing, sending a faint glare Magnus's way (It lost a lot of effect as he was now standing several feet away and clearly ensuring Alec was firmly between them)
"Hey I-"
"Quiet, the grownups are talking." Magnus snapped, flashing a sharp, dangerous look around Alec's shoulder towards Jace before turning his focus back to Alec, once more clearly dismissing Jace,
Magnus slipped even closer, tilting his head, looking over Alec, eyes bright and faintly mischievous, fingers lightly trailing up Alec's arm causing a shiver. He gave a slight sigh, shaking his head, eyebrow quirking near playfully,
"You know gorgeous? I am always happy to see you, and I suppose if a pathetically juvenile scheme was what it took to get you to finally come by and visit me it was more than worth it. I do hope you know YOU are always more than welcome to call, text or stop by, anytime, for absolutely anything…
At all…
But sweetheart?
Maybe next time, find a babysitter for your obnoxious little brother?"
Alec chuckled, giving a bit of a sheepish smile,
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea…Sorry about this."
Magnus shook his head,
"Darling I told you, if it got you here I am more than okay dealing with whatever annoyances tag along."
Alec quirked his eyebrow,
"Yeah…but it's the 'dealing with' the annoyances that worries me."
Magnus gave a slightly exaggerated gasp, and overly innocent look, eyes wide,
"Detective! I don't know what you're implying but I'm sure you are far off base…
I am the epitome of composure and tact…
And unerringly law abiding."
Alec gave a scoffing laugh, and a playful smirk,
"Uh huh…and I'm reckless, irrational and 'unerringly' straight."
*~********~*~********~* Other-Other-Other-Other-Other *~********~*~********~* (Izzy)"Oh my god! You are making that up!"
Clary giggled, shaking her head, bright emerald green eyes sparkling,
"I'm not I swear! Raphael's hair was bright pink for a solid week; he refused to talk to Magnus for almost a month after…
He just sulked, glared and plotted, I don't actually know how he got back at Magnus for it but I know he did because both of them now refuse to talk about it-
They just refer to it as 'that thing that we promised never to bring up again'…though to be honest they have quite a few of those 'things'."
Izzy laughed, shaking her head, glancing over again at the beautiful girl in the passenger seat.
It'd been an amazing night. They'd went to dinner at a cute little place that she'd never heard of and dancing, and the night wasn't over yet. There was a meteor shower tonight, she was taking Clary to a nice spot a ways out of town, far enough out where you could see the stars. A nice romantic evening of watching falling stars seemed perfect. It really had been an amazing date so far. Just like all the other's they've had in the last two weeks-
And okay so six dates in two weeks might be a bit overkill but, hell, she just couldn't help it.
Clary was the most amazing person she'd ever met. Yeah she was gorgeous but there was SO much more;
She was bright, passionate, funny and unbelievably kind. The girl was so warm, intuitive and open. Everything about her just seemed to radiate positivity and hope.
Izzy had never met anyone like her.
It was absolutely bewitching.
She sighed contentedly, Clary glanced over meeting her eyes, a pretty blush gracing her cheeks, she reached up, brushing a few fire red curls back, tucking them behind her ear,
Izzy gave a soft smile, as always totally struck dumb by that beautiful smile.
The songs on the radio switched, a familiar intro beginning, she grinned, reaching over, turning it up,
When the moon fell in love with the sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
"You have a really beautiful voice" Izzy murmured softly, giving a gentle smile,
Clary blushed, faintly,
"Oh, I…I didn't realize I was singing along…sorry, I just really love this song…" she said sheepishly
Izzy chuckled, shaking her head,
"It's totally fine, you sound beautiful. I think I like you singing it better than them."
Clary giggled, blushing slightly, once more brushing her hair back, glancing over shyly,
"Thank you."
Izzy shrugged,
"It's just the truth…" she paused, tilting her head, glancing over again,
"I think this is our song…it fits us perfectly."
Clary, gave that beautiful smile again, nodding, reaching over, lightly squeezing Izzy's hand,
"I think your right."
She leaned over, pressing a soft kiss to Izzy's cheek,
Izzy flushed a bit, squeezing her hand, glancing over, catching those gorgeous, brilliant green eyes,
"You are the most magical person I've ever met."
She blushed prettily, cuddling closer,
"And you a-
Oh! Look out!"
Izzy's head whipped back to the road, catching sight of the middle of the bridge, the odd shimmer reflecting in the headlights, She tried to slow but wasn't quick enough wheels catching on the black ice, losing all traction sliding out of control.
She tried to correct but the wheels locked up, car sliding across the slippery surface, straight through the worn, rusted out guardrail, plunging over the side of the bridge towards the choppy, icy water below.
*~********~*~********~* _End Of Chapter Notes_ *~********~*~********~*Dun, dun, dun…
Oh you know I'm not gonna kill anyone off…
I know the second parts a bit short but they'll have quite a bit of this story (Also you've seen how I go on, figure I should take a short part when I can)
And yeah I know Jace vaguely hitting on Magnus was a jackass move but…well..at THIS point that's gonna be kinda in character for him (I swear there's a reason for it but you'll just have to wait to find out)
What do you all think so far?
