Magnus Bane is basically seen as the FBI's resident joke. Most of the other agents see him as nothing more than a conspiracy nut, jumping from one crazy theory to the next. No one really takes him seriously but as his father is the retired FBI director he's not going anywhere and they know it.
He won't leave and he won't temper his ridiculous theories. In an effort to maintain the sanity of the other agents Magnus's office is in the basement and he's tasked with working the more peculiar cases brought to the agency…
Sightings of unknown creatures, unexplained occurrences, and the occasional reports of UFO's and alien abductions…
Basically all the cases no sane agent would regard with anything more than a slight chuckle and a tip to ease up on the alcohol…
After his partner quits- the sixth in three months- the FBI assigns Alec Lightwood to partner with him in hopes the intelligent, practical minded ME turned field agent will be able to tamper the crazy out of this world-ness that is Magnus Bane…
Only thing?
Lightwood is more than he appears and his motivation to restrain the crazy conspiracy theories may be far more personal than even someone as imaginative as Magnus Bane can fathom…
Notes:
***Blanket Note For All Verses 3-9***
Kay, so here's the thing, originally I was planning on starting these kinda in shifts, but I'm impatient and I really want to get this stuff going…
So over the next three weeks I am going to be starting universes
3-9
**(10 won't start till the others are well underway for a very specific reason)**
So some of them may take a bit to update but I will have the 1st half of chapter 1 up for all of them by May 10th (I'm setting me a deadline damnit)
The SEM Verse is still my main focus right now and will still be updated at least once a week…the others updates will be a bit more random depending on which one my mind is running with at that moment
I know it seems like a lot and not gonna lie that's cause it IS but my mind has been running with these for over a year now, I think it'll work out just fine…
All the universes I will most likely just update half a chapter at a time. The 1st stories of them will mainly just be introducing our characters and getting a feel for the world so- with the exception of the 40's with a twist the 1st stories will only be 8 chapters,
Kay onto our regularly scheduled program
Kay onto another one…I say this about all of them but I'm really looking forward to this verse. I think having a sci-fi based verse will be a nice change of pace. This one basically started out because I told someone about the idea with Mags and Alec as partners and she said it almost reminded her of X-Files and…yeah…totally her fault. There was a freaking 5 DAY X-files marathon on, I watched a good deal of it…never occurred to me…one sentence from her and my brain was off and running. (So, once again, thanks SO much! :-)
We'll have quite a few twists and turns, some interesting cases and who knows what else…
So excitement, paranormal cases, Agents, and aliens…
Should be a lot of fun.
Let's see where this one goes…
Chapter 1:
Partners in crime
*~********~*~********~* Other-Other-Other-Other-Other *~********~*~********~* (Luke)"Nope that's it, I'm done-"
"But Dax if you j-"
"No. I am done, he's insane. I'm not working with that lunatic another minute. I'm transferring to crisis negotiations and prisoner transfers – it's less craziness and drama."
Luke shook his head, hurrying after him.
"Come on, you've only been partnered with him for three w-"
"Three of the most insanity inducing weeks of my life. It's not happening, paper works already submitted, I'm out, you guys are on your own. And good luck to whatever poor, unfortunate bastard gets roped into taking over the job."
Luke shook his head quickly, gesturing over towards Agent Bane, then back to Dax, pleadingly,
"Magnus, do something!"
He shrugged, giving a faint, twinkling wave,
"I'll miss you too Dax."
Dax glared
"Bite me, Magnus."
Magnus chuckled, quirking his eyebrow,
"No thanks, flattered and everything, but you're really not my type."
Dax gave an aggravated noise, shaking his head, before turning back to Luke, giving a shrug,
"Like I said, I'm done, he your problem now."
With that he turned, quickly striding out the door, bounding down the stairs.
Luke sighed, slumping faintly against the nearest desk, rubbing lightly at his temples,
Magnus quirked his eyebrow, giving a slightly dismissive shrug,
"Eh, no big loss. He was an arrogant showboat- he's just with the agency for the glory and acclaim. We don't need that." He smiled, patting Luke assuredly on the shoulder,
"Don't worry boss man; I have a good feeling about the next one…
Seven's always been a lucky number for me."
Luke groaned, rubbing his face, peaking out between his fingers to glare faintly at the younger man,
"You said the same thing about three…AND five."
Magnus shrugged,
"Well yeah; but seven's sure to be lucky…
If not thirteen's probably not too terribly far off. That one'll stick for sure."
Luke glared, giving a world weary sigh (otherwise known as the standard Agent Magnus Bane soundtrack.)
He shook his head faintly, pointing towards the elevator,
"J-just go back to the basement, I need to think."
Magnus chuckled, giving a playful salute and exaggeratedly flirty wink, before turning on heel, heading to the elevators.
Luke groaned again, louder, rubbing at his face exasperatedly.
This was just too much…who the hell could corral that crazy, quirky, lunatic?
It couldn't be just anyone...
The person had to be just the right fit.
Someone Magnus might not purposely chase away...
They had to be strong, smart, dedicated...
Someone who's not easily spooked...
It'd have to be someone equally as stubborn. Someone intelligent and rational, who could try to find a logical, down to earth explanation to even the oddest, least rational cases. Who could inject some much needed sanity into the Special Cases Division, not just bandy about from one crazy ass theory to another.
Someone cool, calm and collected…
But who c-
…Oh…
Oh!
Hmm…
That could work…
That could work quite well…
Luke smiled, reaching for the phone, quickly dialing the extension, patiently listening to the ring.
"M.E.'s office, Doctor Lightwood speaking."
Luke grinned,
"Hey Alec, been a while. So, I'm gonna cut right to the chase. I know you've been wanting to make the move to field agent, I may have an opening you'd be perfect for. I know you're pretty well settled in the L.A. Field office, but how do you feel about moving back home?"
*~********~*~********~* Magnus-Magnus-Magnus-Magnus-Magnus *~********~*~********~*Magnus groaned, stretching, before focusing back on the screen…
Hmm…there's a report of a bat like creature terrorizing people in Illinois. And a new spattering of sightings of the Jersey Devil. It's a bit early for that actually. Usually those don't start up till the summer…oh, but there are multiple witnesses and someone thinks they caught it on camera.
Could be promising…
There's also a report of sightings of a serpent type creature in the San Francisco bay, it's spotty, but it's hardly the first.
Hmm…
The one in Illinois is kinda flimsy, same with San Fr-
He startles faintly at the creaking of the hinges, rolling his eyes, (He swears someone made it do that as a prank- or as a warning they were entering the FBI 'loony bin' as they referred to it.) He glances over at the door, spotting a man with a faintly nervous expression glancing around the office, taking in the assorted articles, photos and randomness that adorned the walls.
Magnus swallowed, blinking in surprise…
Woah…
Damn…he had no clue who the pretty, vaguely confused looking man holding the box was, but he'd be more than happy to help him out…
With anything…
Again…
DAMN…
Shaking his head to clear away all of that, and at least make an attempt at some sort of vaguely professional, FBI agent air, Magnus shifted over, giving a slightly flirtatious smile,
"Well hello there…and how may I help you gorgeous?"
Okay…not the professionalism he was going for, but pretty guy startled and blushed delightfully so it was totally fine.
The guy blinked, eyes flickering over Magnus in surprise, giving a slightly confused smile,
"Um…hey…sorry I didn't see you there. I'm Agent Alec Lightwood, transferring over from the LA field office. Apparently Director Garroway is out of the office right now but he told me if he's out that I'd be partnering with an Agent Bane. I asked the guy at the front desk and he just laughed and pointed me this way…Though by that reaction I'm starting to think it's just a hazing the new guy kinda thing."
He paused, giving a faint shrug and a kind of sheepish smile.
"So, do you by chance know where I can find Agent Bane?"
Magnus blinked in surprise, swallowing again,
Oh…thank you Luke…
Seven really was a lucky number…
Magnus stood up, moving around his desk with a brilliant smile,
"You've found him.
Agent Magnus Bane; at your service."
Agent Lightwood blinked in surprise, eyes slipping over Magnus slowly, taking in his bizarrely patterned deep blue suit with the black satin shirt, multiple necklaces, rings and silver ear cuff, shaking his head slowly,
"Umm…n-no offense, but you really don't look like an agent. Can I see your badge?"
Magnus gave a bright, surprised chuckle and a flirtatious wink, eyes appreciatively flickering over Alec,
"Gorgeous, you can see anything of mine you want."
Alec blushed brilliantly clear to his ears,
"Umm, l-let's just stick with the badge for now."
Magnus chuckled, fishing out his badge and I.D, handing it to the other agent for inspection.
Alec looked it over meticulously, shaking his head once more, glancing back up, quirking his eyebrow.
"You're retired FBI Director Henry Bane's son?"
Magnus grinned,
"Yup, that'd be me."
Alec nodded faintly, still seemingly unsure, before shrugging, glancing again curiously around the room,
"Umm, by the way, what were you doing down here? Is this some kind of storage area or something?"
Magnus chuckled, throwing his arm around Alec's shoulders,
"Nope, this is our office."
Alec blinked in surprise,
Magnus preened,
"Great isn't it? I decorated it myself."
Alec swallowed again,
"Yeah…I-I got that…So…you kinda have a thing for sci-fi, huh?"
Magnus scoffed, shaking his head,
"Actually I can't stand the stuff. It makes a total mockery out of all the real paranormal things out there. Cryptozoology, parapsychology, ESP even Extraterrestrials all become little more than jokes and punch lines-
Makes our whole department a joke.
Our intern Simon totally adores it though, and the kid's hurt puppy look should be weaponized, so I try to keep that to myself when he's around."
Again with the blinking…
"O-our department?"
Magnus beamed, nodding quickly, squeezing his shoulder,
"Yup, we're the Special Cases Division:
Everything from Sightings of unknown creatures, unexplained occurrences, supernatural sightings and experiences, UFO's, alien encounters and abductions and everything in between…
How awesome is that?"
Alec swallowed,
"Uhh…"
Magnus snickered, unable to keep his eyes from flickering over Alec, taking in the deer in the headlights look in those pretty greenish hazel eyes, seeing how his fingers clutched nervously at his box of belongings,
Oh…
He is SO keeping this one around…
He needs to remember to send Luke a thank you gift. Maybe a nice bottle of scotch…
Or a Rolex…
He subtly glanced over Alec yet again
Maybe both…
DAMN…
Seven really was his lucky number.
*~********~*~********~* End OF Story Notes *~********~*~********~*Kay got the entire story up in one day, proofed now…I'm really looking forward to this one. I have LOTS of plans for here
So what do you all think so far?
