My Inner Virgo is pissed at all the WiPs and she had a few words with Agnes, my muse. It wasn't pretty.

So here we are, the team is assembled, the enemies have been identified, time to kick some ass.

Enjoy.

Gilbert walks out of Starbucks and stops when he sees AU!Magnus. He clears his throat, "Magnus, fancy seeing you here. How's Alec doing?"

AU!Magnus' smile is cold, "As if you care."

Gilbert tries to walk past him, but AU!Magnus grabs his arm, opens a portal, and drags Gilbert through. The Starbucks cup Gilbert was holding falls to the concrete.

AU!Magnus tosses Gilbert across the room as they step out the portal. They are in the basement of the Institute. Gilbert slams into a wall, then gets to his feet. He finds that he is boxed in.

Gilbert watches as a cat eyed AU!Magnus walks over to him. Gilbert swallows, "Please don't kill me, Magnus."

AU!Magnus coldly laughs, "Begging isn't going to stop me."

"I can tell you where Robert is."

AU!Magnus' eyes narrow, "Robert Lightwood?"

Gilbert nods, "Yes, he's alive."

"Bullshit, we saw his body. He's dead."

"No, no. We glamoured a mundane to look like him."

"Glamours disappear when the body is dead."

Gilbert nods, "Usually, but we injected the mundane with Robert's blood. We used a spell so that the mundane's body, even after his death, kept up the glamour."

"Why?"

"Robert wants to be there at Alec's funeral, so that he can laugh at your pain."

The fingers on AU!Magnus' right hand blaze with red magic, "My pain? The only one that will feel pain is him, when I rip his heart from his chest."

"But Alec is dying."

AU!Magnus walks over to the barrier surrounding Gilbert. His cat eyes glare at the other warlock, "And how would you know that?"

Gilbert swallows as he steps back and hits the wall behind him, "Robert was annoyed that Alec was still healthy. He had me make a potion and slip it into Alec's drink when the two of you were in Florida."

"You poisoned Alexander?" AU!Magnus flicks his hand and Gilbert is thrown across the room.

Gilbert stands but the barrier returns around him, "Robert got tired of waiting for him to die."

AU!Magnus walks over, "And how is Robert still alive?"

"A spell using seelie and vampire blood mixed together has given him a longer lifespan."

AU!Magnus sneers, "But can he be killed?"

Gilbert quickly nods, "Yes, he isn't immortal."

AU!Magnus' cat eyes narrow, "Good, where can I find the bastard?"

Ivan is eating breakfast when somebody knocks on his front door. He wonders who would be visiting so early in the morning, but he shrugs as he walks over to the door to answer it.

Magnus2 and a boy are standing outside. Ivan glances at the boy, then smiles at Magnus2, "Morning, what can I do for you, Magnus?"

Magnus2 smiles as he flicks his hand and Ivan flies across the living room. He and Mikey walk into the apartment. Magnus2 glances around as he closes the door, "You alone?"

Ivan stands up, "Yeah, what the hell do you want, Bane?"

Magnus2 smiles, "Good." Mikey glares at Ivan, his right hand raised.

"Who's the kid?"

Magnus2 smiles, "My son."

"Son? When did you and the ShadowHunter get a kid?" Mikey's eyes narrow as he silently and slowly, closes his fist.

"We also have a daughter."

"Two kids?" Ivan's eyes suddenly widen, "What did he do to me?"

Magnus2 walks over to Mikey, then looks at Ivan, "What are you talking about?"

Ivan looks at his right hand then his left, "My magic is gone."

Mikey's eyes are cold, "You hurt Daddy."

Magnus2 folds his arms, "Technically, raspberry, this Ivan didn't hurt Daddy. And the 'Daddy' that this Ivan did hurt, isn't yours. But as the mundanes might say, tomayto tomahto."

Ivan looks from Magnus2 to Mikey, "What?"

"Oh I'm not this world's Magnus, but we know what your little group did to this world's Alexander and we are not pleased."

Mikey takes a step closer to Ivan, his right hand still in a fist, "You. Hurt. Daddy."

Ivan glares down at Mikey, "So I did. Now give me back my magic, you brat."

"Fine, here." Mikey grabs Ivan's wrist with his right hand. Ivan screams as red sparks go up his arm. Mikey steps back. Ivan's eyes roll back as he bursts into flames. A minute later, nothing is left of him but ashes.

Magnus2 looks from the pile of ashes to his son, "Mikey?"

His son looks up at him with warm eyes, "Yes, Poppa?"

"That was a bit extreme, raspberry."

Mikey holds Magnus2's hand in both of his, "He hurt Daddy, Poppa."

Magnus2 nods, "You have a point." He picks Mikey up, kisses his son's forehead, opens a portal and leaves the apartment.

Lamar and Zachary are eating breakfast in the cafeteria of The Warlock Hall near Lockout Hill in Prospect Park. They are at a table near the back. There are three or four other warlocks scattered around at this early hour.

Zachary leans closer to Lamar, "Lightwood should be dead by Saturday. Robert can't wait to dance at his funeral."

Lamar nods, "He is not the only one who will dance. Our counterparts in the other worlds have given their lives for the cause. We have avenged their deaths."

Zachary drinks from his coffee mug. He chokes as he sees Max and Magnus walk into the cafeteria, "What the fuck?"

Lamar turns around, "How?"

Magnus and Max walk over to them. Lamar stands but Max flicks his hand and Lamar flies over the table and slams into the back wall. Magnus snaps his fingers and both Lamar and Zachary have cuffs on their wrists.

A woman at a nearby table, looks from Magnus to Max, "What is the meaning of this?"

Magnus glares at her, "This doesn't concern you."

"Magnus Bane, we know you are in pain over that ShadowHunter's ill health, but do not bring any drama here."

"That ShadowHunter is my husband, show him respect."

She gets to her feet, "Your marriage may be recognized by his people, but we, warlocks, do not see him as that."

Max glares at her, "His people?"

"Yes, his people. And who are you?"

Max walks over and looks down at her, "I'm Max Lightwood-Bane. His people are my people."

"You're a warlock."

"So?"

"So, you are one of us."

"Yes, I'm a warlock, but one of my fathers is a ShadowHunter and that makes them, my people."

She looks from Max to Magnus, "I do not understand, when did you acquire a son?"

Magnus glares at her, "We are not from this world."

"Then what is your reason for being here and disturbing our breakfast?"

Max sniffs, "Nobody told you to butt in, lady."

She glares at him, "I am Suzanne Leeds, High Warlock of Brooklyn."

Magnus nods, "That's nice for you, but I'm the High Warlock in my world and those two men are coming with me."

"I do not think so."

"Suzanne, why do you have to be so fucking arrogant all the damn time?"

Her eyes widen as she sees a second Magnus in the cafeteria, "How is that possible?"

Max rolls his eyes, "Weren't you listening. Poppa and I are from another world."

She shakes her head, "Nevertheless, these men are under my protection. Release them."

Magnus laughs, "You're kidding right?"

"No I am not kidding. Release them or I shall have no choice but to have you arrested."

AU!Magnus rolls his eyes, "Suzanne, stop with the ball busting. You have nothing to arrest anybody on. Four warlocks are responsible for my husband's condition. As former Head Warlock, I'm placing these two under arrest."

She looks from Magnus to AU!Magnus, "You said four warlocks, where are the other two?"

"It doesn't concern you."

"Of course, it concerns me. I am here to protect warlocks."

Max voice is cold, "And we are here to protect Alec Lightwood. Now sit down and shut up."

"You cannot speak to me like that. I will..."

"Yeah, you can try to arrest me." Max looks at his father, "Poppa, can we go now?"

Magnus nods, "Yes, we can take this elsewhere."

She shakes her head, "I forbid it."

AU!Magnus smiles, "Goodbye, Suzanne." He flicks his hand and she's pushed back into her chair.

Max opens a portal. Magnus flicks his hand at Lamar and Zachary and they fly across the room through it. Max, Magnus and AU!Magnus walk through.

Suzanne runs over but the portal closes before she can reach it.

They walk into a warehouse. Lamar and Zachary are on the floor glaring at them.

AU!Magnus looks around, "This place looks vaguely familiar, why?"

Magnus explains, "Back in our world, Valentine owned it, I assume that's the case here as well."

Max sniffs, "Too many hurt Daddy moments happened here, Poppa."

Magnus kisses Max's head, "Indeed, blueberry."

Max giggles, "This is also where we killed Robert and Zachary in Mikey and Maxine's world."

Zachary sneers, "How did you find us?"

AU!Magnus walks over and kicks Zachary in the head, "I went to Max for help."

Lamar glares, "Why?'

AU!Magnus kicks him in the head, "Because I couldn't live without my angel and you bastards..." He shakes his head and walks away.

Max runs after him and holds him tight.

Magnus' cat eyes are cold as he looks at Lamar and Zachary, "How did you find out about the love rune?"

Lamar smiles coldly, "Robert took the boy to a seer and was told that he had a secret rune that would appear when he crossed paths with a warlock. The seer couldn't tell who the warlock was but he knew it was a love rune. Robert was disgusted that his son would be involved with one of us. It's okay for us to do his bidding, but for one of us to touch his precious son, that was a different story. He asked me if I knew of a way to keep the rune hidden. I did but I needed assistance. Robert paid handsomely for us to do the spell."

Zachary continues, "A few years ago, I found out that there were other worlds and that in a couple of them, the rune had appeared. Not only was Robert's son involved with a warlock here but he was with the same warlock in all those worlds. And that the warlock put our magic in that rune."

Magnus rolls his eyes, "It wasn't your magic, asshole. The magic is 100% mine."

"Whatever, Bane. But our spell kept the rune hidden."

AU!Magnus and Max walk back. AU!Magnus holds Max hand tight, "Why did Robert fake his death?"

Magnus raises an eyebrow, "Robert's not dead?"

"No, he isn't. They killed a mundane and fixed it so that his glamour would remain after his death." He glares at the two warlocks sitting on the floor, "Why?"

Lamar answers, "To give you a sense of security. To make you feel like you had won."

AU!Magnus closes then slowly opens his eyes, "So that when Alec died, that bastard could, quote, laugh at my pain, unquote."

"You spoke to Gilbert?"

AU!Magnus nods, "Yes and I know that bastard had Alec poisoned when we were in Florida."

Max raises an eyebrow, "Florida? Interesting. That's why the timeline got stuck there."

Zachary sneers, "Yes, we saw you 'helping' those other worlds and Robert wanted to make sure you never showed up here."

AU!Magnus nods, "I went to Max's world instead. You didn't plan for that, did you?"

"No. Robert didn't see that as a possibility."

"Which is why Robert was so surprised to see me at his doorstep." He flicks his hand and a corpse materializes beside Lamar and Zachary. There's a blood crusted hole in its chest.

Lamar's eyes widen as he realizes the corpse is Robert. He sneers at AU!Magnus, "He still won. The rune is blocked, that ShadowHunter will be dead by the end of the week."

Max smiles, "Nope, he lost. We got the rune unblocked and empowered with Magnus' magic. Alec is alive and well."

Zachary sneers, "Impossible. That spell was unbreakable."

Magnus nods, "Maybe, but we have powerful friends in other worlds."

"You found us, and Gilbert. What about Ivan?"

"Ivan has been taken care of as well."

"You would turn against your own people, Magnus, for a ShadowHunter?"

Magnus nods, "For this ShadowHunter, I will turn against anybody that hurts him."

AU!Magnus nods, "This has taught me that I do not want to be in a world that doesn't have him."

Max sniffs, "Four warlocks that really need to find something better to do, because I won't let you hurt any Alec Lightwood."

Lamar nods, "And now?"

Max smiles, "Now you die."

Magnus smiles at AU!Magnus, "Would you like to do the honors?"

AU!Magnus walks over to Zachary, "I would love to make you suffer, like you made my angel suffer this last year, but right now all I want is to hold him. I'm not wasting any more time with you pieces of shit than I have to." He grabs Zachary's neck and breaks it.

Lamar tries to crawl away, but AU!Magnus grabs him by his hair and snaps his neck.

Magnus nods, "Max..."

Max giggles, "I know Poppa, garbage duty." He opens a portal and with a flick of his hand, sends the three dead bodies through, "Done."

AU!Magnus takes a deep breath, "So that's it?"

Magnus nods, "Yes. Alec is cured, immortal and safe."

"I don't know how to thank you all. Especially little Mikey."

Max giggles and hugs him, "You're welcome."

Magnus smiles as he hugs AU!Magnus, "Just love Alexander with all your heart."

AU!Magnus nods, "No worries there."

"Good." He looks at Max, "Let's go home."

Max nods, "Okay, Poppa." He opens a portal and after another round of hugs, he and Magnus leave.

AU!Magnus opens a portal, then leaves the warehouse .

He walks into the loft.

AU!Alec is in the kitchen. AU!Magnus laughs, "What are you doing?"

"Cooking you dinner."

"Oh. It's kind of early for dinner."

"I figured you would be hungry and I know you haven't been taking care of yourself for a while."

AU!Magnus holds him around the waist and kisses him, "I love you."

AU!Alec smiles, "And I love you."

AU!Magnus glances at the pots on the stove, "Part of me wants to eat, another part just wants to hold you."

"So how about we eat then save the rest for later after we do a little holding?"

AU!Magnus smiles, "I like that idea."

"Good, sit and let me take care of you."

AU!Magnus nods as he pulls a chair out and sits down, "Okay."

AU!Alec leans over and kisses him, "Okay."

They enjoy an early dinner then spend the rest of the day in bed, holding each other tight.

Warlock Hall is my creation. There's a map on my tumblr (nancyloumm) and a link at malec_4ever, as to where it's located.

Three more chapters will be enough to tie up the loose ends.
