- FLASHBACK CONTINUED-
Alec stood there, staring at the dark metal door. He had no idea he'd be back here so soon. The embossed letters glinted on the nameplate just above one of the buzzers: BANE.
Alec took a deep shaky breath. He would need to calm himself before seeing the Warlock again. He remembered their last interaction before he left the apartment earlier that evening
The warlock turned his gaze toward Alec, cocked one delicate eyebrow up and winked, "As for you. Call me?"
He felt his face warming up as the memory played in his head. If he went up to the apartment right now, the warlock would probably take it the wrong way. As some sort of… admission or reciprocation or something like that.
And Isabelle. Oh Angel. If Isabelle found out that he had paid Magnus Bane a visit she would never let it go. She'd already made her feelings about the warlock quite clear before Jace had run off. She thought Bane was nice. That him and Alec could be friends.
There was no way he was going to befriend a sparkling downworlder. This was strictly a business call. He needed to get quick information from a warlock and Bane was the closest Warlock he could think of. In fact, he was the only warlock he actually knew by name- even if they had only met a few hours ago. That was it. Pure business.
He took another fortifying breath and pressed the buzzer.
" OH FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS DAMNED! WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW?" Maybe this wasn't a good time.
a/n: and so it begins.
