Magnus2 and Mikey step out the portal into the loft. Mikey gasps when he sees that the loft is empty of furniture.

Magnus2's heart stops when he sees a man crumbled on the floor. He would know that back in a million lifetimes. He whispers, "Alexander?"

Warlock!Alec slowly sits up and turns around, "Magnus?" He gets to his feet.

Magnus2 takes in the short hair and earrings. He weakly smiles, "Hi."

Warlock!Alec nods, "Hi. Guess we are here for the same reason?"

"Max."

Mikey returns to his father's side after walking through the loft, "The place is empty, Poppa. No Max, no Not Daddy, no Not Poppa."

Warlock!Alec swallows, "My Magnus is dead."

Magnus2 closes his eyes as tears threaten to fall, "My Alexander is gone as well." He holds his son's hand tight, "I had to get Mikey out an Idris cell."

Mikey shakes his head, "This is not good."

Warlock!Alec bites his lip, "Can I hug you?"

Magnus2 smiles weakly, "I was going to ask you the same thing." He and Warlock!Alec hold each other tight. Mikey wraps his arms around both men.

Magnus2 wipes his eyes, "Okay, now what?"

Warlock!Alec takes a deep breath, "We have to assume that Alec and possibly Magnus as well, are dead. Our best bet is to find Max."

Magnus2 nods, "Where do we start looking?"

Mikey smiles, "Chester's Supermarket."

"What the hell is that?"

Mikey giggles, "That's where I found Max last time."

Warlock!Alec nods, "After Max and I saved my Magnus, we needed to find Valentine. Max looked in the place where he was in this world. Guess us being together isn't the only thing common in all the worlds."

Magnus2 nods, "Makes sense to me. Let's go."

Mikey smiles, "I can get Max myself, Poppa."

"Of course you can, Mikey, but I'm not letting you out of my sight."

Mikey kisses Magnus2's cheek, "Same here, Poppa."

Warlock!Alec nods, "Which is why I'm going as well."

Magnus2 nods, as Mikey giggles. He kisses Warlock!Alec's cheek, "Okay."

Mikey sets his mundane glamour, opens a portal and they leave the loft.

They walk out in front of the supermarket.

They walk inside and look around. Mikey walks over to a cashier, "Excuse me Miss, is ... Albert working today?"

She nods, "He's on break."

"Thanks." Mikey, Magnus2 and Warlock!Alec walk to the back of the store. They glance around the store.

Warlock!Alec grabs Mikey's arm, "There he is." They walk over to Albert.

Magnus2 smiles at him, "Hello."

Albert glares at the three men, "I'm on break."

Warlock!Alec sees a familiar face out the corner of his eye, "Shit, it's Emil."

Mikey turns, his eyes cold, "Where?"

Magnus2 shakes his head, "Alec." He opens a portal and grabs Albert's arm.

Warlock!Alec nods, "On it." He grabs Mikey's arm. He pulls Mikey with him as he follows Magnus2 and Albert through the portal.

They return to the loft.

Mikey shakes his head, "You should have let me kill that bastard."

Magnus2 walks over and hugs him, "Obviously his being here is an issue but until we know exactly what he did, no killing."

MIkey sighs. He kisses his father's cheek, "You're right, Poppa."

Albert steps away from the group, "What the fuck is going on? How the fuck did we get here? What kind of freaky shit did I step into?"

Warlock!Alec raises an eyebrow, "Interesting."

Magnus2 nods, "Mikey."

Mikey giggles as he goes over to a retreating Albert, "This I can do." He touches Albert's forehead.

Max's glamour flickers as he quickly blinks. Max looks around, "Mikey?"

Mikey giggles as he holds his brother tight, "That would be me."

Max nods as he looks down at his clothes and pulls the name badge off his shirt, "Are you fucking kidding me? Again with supermarket Albert?" He crushes the badge then burns it. He flicks his hand, a forest green henley and jeans replace Albert's work attire. He looks at Warlock!Alec and Magnus2, "Okay, what's going on?"

Magnus2 nods, "You better sit down." He flicks his hand and the sofa appears.

Max sighs as they walk into the living room. He flicks his hand and the coffee table is in its rightful spot. He sits down as Magnus2 and Mikey sit on the sofa. Warlock!Alec eyes the sofa, then smiles and sits next to Max.

Max takes a deep breath, "Okay, tell me."

Max quietly sits, as Magnus2 talks about waking up alone, then his jailbreak of Mikey. When Warlock!Alec tells him about also waking up alone, Max reaches for his hand. His thumb runs against his other world Daddy's knuckles.

Mikey finishes bringing Max up to date, with how they found him, then Emil appearing, in the supermarket.

Max nods, "Okay, I need a computer."

Mikey jumps to his feet, opens a portal and leaves the loft.

Max giggles, "Okay, and I need a phone." Magnus2 and Warlock!Alec both reach into their back pockets, but Max takes a phone out his pocket, "Thanks, but Albert has one of his own." He shakes his head, "He uses '1234' as a password every single freaking time. What an idiot."

Warlock!Alec smiles, "I'm finding comfort in the similar elements our worlds share."

Magnus2 nods, "Yes, right now, I need all the comfort available."

A portal opens and Mikey returns holding a box in his hand, "Did somebody order a laptop?"

Max giggles and stands. He flicks his hand and the kitchen table and chairs appear. Mikey puts the box on the table.

Magnus2 watches as Max unpacks the box. He glances at his son, "Mikey, you did pay for that, didn't you?"

Mikey giggles, "Of course, Poppa."

Max plugs the power cord into the wall. He chews on his lip, "Does anybody know what happened to Daddy and Poppa?"

Magnus2 shakes his head, "Mikey and I showed up and saw Alec on the floor. Then we went to get you."

Warlock!Alec weakly smiles, "I thought everything would be okay once I got here. It was a bit of a shock to see the loft empty. Sorry."

Mikey hugs him, "It's okay, Warlock Daddy."

"Warlock Daddy?"

"Uh huh, is it okay?"

Warlock!Alec smiles and kisses his forehead, "It's awesome Mikey, thank you."

Max glares at the laptop, "Faster." He glances at Magnus2, "Maxine?"

Magnus2 shakes his head, "Mistress Destiny only gave me Mikey's location."

Max nods, as he sits in front of the laptop and taps on the keyboard, "Makes sense. Maxine isn't seen as a threat, so her place in the new timeline isn't important." He glances at the screen, "Finally." He starts typing.

Mikey sits next to Max as Magnus2 and Warlock!Alec sit across from them.

Max nods, "Okay, the main program works, now let me put in the other one." He continues to type.

Mikey giggles, "There has to be an easier way of putting them into a new laptop."

Max laughs, "Unfortunately not really, but thank god as long as I don't mistype something, the programs run perfectly every time."

Magnus2 smiles at Warlock!Alec, "I need a drink. Martini?"

Warlock!Alec smiles, "I'm allergic, but I'll take some coffee."

Mikey giggles as Magnus2 flicks his hand and three mugs and one glass appear on the table. Mikey moves a mug closer to Max and he drinks from another one.

Warlock!Alec smiles, "Thank you, sir."

Magnus2 smiles, "You're welcome."

Max sits back and drinks from his mug, "Second program is done." He nods and puts the mug back on the table, "Now, let me see what we are facing." Mikey squeezes his arm as Max types.

Max shakes his head as his fingers fly across the keyboard. Tears run down his face as he looks at the screen.

Magnus2 and Warlock!Alec glance at each other.

Magnus2 whispers, "Max, talk to us."

Max swallows, his eyes are full of tears as he looks from Magnus2 to Warlock!Alec, "They're dead."

Warlock!Alec whispers, "Your fathers?"

Max nods, "All of them are dead."

"All?"

Max nods, "In every world, all the Alecs and Magnuses are dead."
