A/N: Because Magnus can't live without Alec, I've split the previous chapter into two parts, so that I can warn for numerous mentions of suicide. Some have been mentioned in previous Max adventures, some are new and may be upsetting.

Enjoy?

Mikey whispers, "All of them?"

Max slowly nods as he pushes the laptop away and holds his head in his hands, "Yes, Mikey, ALL of them."

"Doctor Alec?"

"Lamar kills him."

"What about his Magnus?"

"He put a gun to his head."

Mikey stands up, "No." He walks into the living room.

Warlock!Alec swallows, "Shit."

Magnus2 asks, "What about from the world that Clary visited?"

Max keeps his head in his hands, "The muggers killed him. Magnus hung himself."

"Shit."

"District Attorney Alec was killed in the car bomb and his Magnus slashed his wrists a week later. Another Alec, who also was a ShadowHunter, died in a psychiatric hospital and his Magnus drank poison. There was another world where Grandma was killed before she could have children. That world's Magnus bumped into a guy and his jealous boyfriend shot him. Another ShadowHunter Alec died of old age, his Magnus swallowed a bunch of sleeping pills. A mundane Alec was killed by vampires."

"And his Magnus?"

"Killed by ghouls."

Max whispers, "It's as if I never came into any of their lives. The timelines all went back to what originally occurred."

Mikey walks back to the table, his purple eyes ablaze with hate, "Emil."

Warlock!Alec nods, "No other reason for him to be here. Could he be the one from MY world? I tried to find out where he was but nobody knew."

Mikey's eyes narrow, "It's possible, maybe he was going after Max?"

Warlock!Alec nods, "He figured with the timelines back to what they were before Max intervened, he would get rid of Max and prevent him from fixing them again."

Max shakes his head, "Albert wouldn't have stood a chance against him."

Mikey nods, "Lucky for Albert, he didn't have to worry."

Magnus2 asks, "What about YOUR fathers, Max?"

Max takes a deep breath and sits back. Mikey sits next to him and holds his hand tight. Max whispers, "Daddy died when he was five. I can't find anything on Poppa."

Magnus2 looks around, "I don't think your Poppa is dead. He may have just left Brooklyn."

Warlock!Alec nods as he stands and walks over to Max. He pulls a chair closer and sits on the other side of him. He hugs Max, "Magnus is right. It looks like he just moved out."

Mikey brings the laptop closer, "See if you can find Not Poppa, Max."

Max closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. With a nod, he starts typing, "Okay."

Everybody is quiet, lost in their own thoughts as Max types. After a few minutes, Max taps the keyboard, "Interesting."

Mikey looks from the screen to Max, "Good interesting or bad interesting?"

"Good interesting, Poppa's in Staten Island."

Magnus2 raises an eyebrow, "Of all the places to be."

Max nods, "Yes. He runs a palm reading shop."

"That really is interesting."

Max stands up, "Let me go talk to him, then I'll bring him here."

Mikey stands as well, "I'll go with you, this way it'll be easier to get him here, if he knows the truth."

Max smiles, "I appreciate the company."

Warlock!Alec stands and hugs him, "We'll be waiting."

Magnus2 nods, "It's not like we have anything else to do."

Max nods, "Be back soon." He opens a portal, he and Mikey leave.

Warlock!Alec flicks his hand and refills his and Magnus2's drinks, "Now we wait."

Magnus2 nods, "Hopefully not for too long."

Mikey and Max walk out the portal and walk down the block to Predictions by Bane. They walk in and a bell rings above the door.

Magnus walks over and stops. He glares at them, "I don't want any trouble, leave."

Max weakly smiles, "We aren't here to cause trouble, we just want to see you."

"Right 'see' me. Well you saw me, now leave. " He turns around and starts to walk away.

Max blinks away tears, "Poppa, please."

Magnus stops and turns, "What did you call me?"

Max wipes away tears, "I called you 'Poppa', because you are my father and I need you."

"Hmm, and how exactly are you my son?"

"You and Daddy adopted me but this world is wrong and we have to fix it. We have to save Daddy. We have to fix all the worlds. Please Poppa."

Magnus glances at Mikey, standing quietly by Max's side, "And you?"

Mikey gives him a slight smile, "In another world, I'm your son."

Magnus raises an eyebrow, "Wait, what is this about a 'daddy'?"

Max nods, "Your husband, my other father."

Mikey smiles, "May I?"

Magnus eyes him, "May you what?"

"I can restore your memories."

Magnus sees his 'son' look at him with hopeful eyes. Magnus sighs, "Yes you may." Mikey smiles as he walks over and gently touches Magnus' forehead.

Magnus' cat eyes flash for a few minutes, he blinks then looks from Mikey to Max. He looks around the shop and shakes his head, "Max, where are we?"

Max giggles as he runs over to his father and hugs him tight, "Staten Island, Poppa."

Magnus absently holds Max, "And why are we here?"

Mikey hugs Max and Magnus, "It's a long story, Not Poppa."

Magnus looks from one to the other, "A story I'm not going to like, am I?"

Max shakes his head, "No, you're not."

Magnus takes a deep breath, "My angel?"

"Daddy was killed when he was very young."

Magnus closes his eyes and swallows as he slowly opens them, "A big fat void where the love rune should be."

Mikey nods, "Poppa too."

"Okay, what next?"

Max holds Magnus' hand, "I have a laptop set up in the loft."

Magnus nods, "Let's go." Max nods as he opens a portal and they leave the shop.

Warlock!Alec and Magnus2 stand when they see a portal open.

Magnus stops when he sees Warlock!Alec. He weakly smiles, "Not mine."

Warlock!Alec shakes his head, "Sorry." He walks over, "But you want a hug?"

Magnus nods, "I would appreciate it." They hug.

Magnus2 walks over, "Hug?"

Magnus nods, "Sure." They hug. Magnus takes a deep breath, "Okay, fill me in."

Max holds his hand, "You better sit down, Poppa."

Magnus nods as they walk over to the sofa. Magnus sits down as Max sits on the coffee table, they're still holding hands. Magnus2 and Mikey sit on the sofa. Warlock!Alec sits next to Max.

Magnus2 weakly smiles, "I guess I'll start."

Magnus holds Max's hand tight as he absorbs the changes in the timelines. He wipes away tears with his other hand, and takes a deep breath, "Where do we start to fix this?"

Max whispers, "Daddy."

Magnus2 nods, "That should fix most of it, but I think we also have to fix Alec's world and mine."

Warlock!Alec nods, "I agree, our husbands didn't die as they originally did."

Mikey squeezes his father's hand, "I'm ready to kill Robert, Raj, Aldertree, Emil, whoever I gotta kill to get everybody back."

Max stands, "Let me get to work." He walks over to the kitchen table and sits down. He pulls the laptop close and starts typing.

Mikey stands and walks over. He sits next to Max.

Warlock!Alec, Magnus and Magnus2 stand and walk over to the kitchen table. Magnus sits next to Max as Magnus2 and Warlock!Alec sit across from them.

Warlock!Alec flicks his hand and everybody's drink is refilled. A martini glass appears in front of Magnus. He smiles, "Thanks."

Warlock!Alec nods, "You're welcome. I figure nobody is hungry but we could all use a drink."

Magnus2 nods, "A lot of drinks."

Magnus smiles, "After we have held our husbands for an hour."

Mikey nods, "Two hours."

Max smiles, "I don't know about Poppa, but Daddy isn't leaving the loft for a week."

Magnus nods, "Oh no, blueberry, I second that."

They watch quietly as Max types. After a few minutes, Max swallows, "Done."

Magnus squeezes his hand, "Daddy first?"

Max nods, "He was found not breathing in his room."

"In Idris?"

"No, Poppa. The Institute. Robert was Head. Grandma took Aunt Izzy back to Idris to bury Daddy and they never returned to New York."

"That fucker stayed here?"

Max nods, "He ran the Institute for ten years than handed it over to a Micheal Wayland."

Magnus2 chokes on his drink as he and Magnus glance at each other, "Does he have a son?"

Max looks at the screen and nods, "Yes, he did, but he was killed by demons." Max moves closer, "Wait that's Uncle Jace."

Magnus shakes his head, "Son of a bitch, Valentine ended up in charge of the Institute after all."

"But how Poppa?"

"Valentine glamoured himself as Micheal Wayland."

"Oh, that's why that lady didn't know what last name to give Uncle Jace."

"When?"

"After you killed Raj and that lady had a big meeting with you, Daddy, Aunt Clary, Aunt Izzy and Uncle Jace. The lady that was Uncle Jace's real grandma."

Magnus nods, "Inquisitor Herondale."

Max shrugs, "Don't know her name, but damn she loved to hear herself talk."

Warlock!Alec waves his hand, "This shit doesn't matter, who killed your father, Max?"

Max shakes his head, "Nobody found out."

"Damn."

Magnus coldly says, "I will be there to make sure it doesn't happen."

Max nods, "Me too, Poppa."

Magnus2 asks, "What about my Alexander?"

Max goes to another tab and types, "He and Jace were killed by demons in Sunset Park."

"When?"

"He was eighteen."

Magnus2 leans back in his chair, "I don't remember a demon attack in Sunset."

Max shakes his head as he looks at the screen, "According to this, Robert ordered you to revoke order 144.45 and allow Alec to return to the Institute."

Magnus2's cat eyes flare, "Revoke it my ass."

Max shrugs, "There are no details, it just says you agreed."

Warlock!Alec squeezes Magnus2's hand, "It doesn't matter."

Magnus2 gives him a weak smile, "Thanks." He looks at Max, "When did I allow this shit?"

Max whispers, "Alec was ten."

"Ten?" Magnus2 closes his eyes.

Mikey stands and walks over to his father. He sits down and holds Magnus2, "It doesn't matter, Poppa."

"I know, but it still hurts."

"We will make them all pay."

Magnus2 takes a deep breath, "So do we change them getting killed or do we change me revoking the order?"

Max taps on the keyboard, "We really don't know how much will be restored once we save Daddy, so I think your best bet would be preventing yourself from revoking the order."

Magnus2 nods, "I'll punch myself in the mouth if I have to."

Mikey hugs his father, "I'm going with you."

Warlock!Alec sighs, "I guess I'm going by myself. Magnus and I can handle a few forsaken, right?"

Max opens another tab and types, "There's little information on the attack." He taps on the keyboard as he waits, "Yeah, nothing is coming up."

"I'm a warlock, I'll figure something up."

Mikey looks at him, "I'll go with you."

"Nah, I'm fine, Mikey. Go with your father."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

Max taps on the keyboard, "Okay, let's fix this."
