Chapter Text
Shaking and feeling like he was dying. Magnus still couldn't believe he's Alexander, no he wasn't his anymore. He was just Alec now, Alec Lightwood head of the New York institute and nothing else to Magnus anymore. How could he just leave him like this while even after admitting to Alec he was in pain and he just left him?
'Why, now my son, are you on the floor?' A tall figure drawled in front of Magnus.
'Asmodues!' Magnus shouted. Jumping to he's feet.
'Why? How are you here?' Magnus pulled himself together and stared at the man he called his father. How had he escaped from Edom? This wasn't possible, was it? Had the pain of Alec leaving finally made Magnus lose he's mind.
'No you haven't lost your mind, my dear boy. I could feel your pain all the way down in the depths of hell' Asmodues responded walking closer to Magnus.
'That still doesn't answer how you got here?' Magnus snapped getting over some of his shock.
'Where there's a will there's a way my son, now tell your father who has caused you such pain and I'll banish then to the darkest depths of Edom.'
'No! I mean no I'll be fine.... it's just new is all.' Alec leaving him might hurt like hell but there's no way he could ever have him banished to Edom. He'd rather die a painful death then see his Alexander in pain.
'Now you’re the high Warnock of Brooklyn, what could be causing you such pain?' Asmodues replied with a slight upbeat in his voice.
'You know as well as I do that I am no longer the high Warlock of Brooklyn and you made it such that I wouldn't be again.' He spat at his father, stepping closer to the man. This is the man that had taken so much from.
'You know I hate to see you like this, what if I gave you magic and immortality back?' Asmodues questioned staring into Magnus' eyes so he could see the truth in them.
He must’ve heard that wrong. He slowly rose to he's feet so he could at least look this man in the eyes.
'What?' Magnus gasped 'Why?'
'Like I said my dear boy I hate to see you in this pain and maybe seeing you like this makes me feel a little bit bad for adding to your suffering' Asmodues said with a wave of his hand like it was nothing. But this wasn't nothing. This was him being offered his life back. This one thing that for centuries had made him who he was, that made him Magnus Bane.
'You'd give me my magic and immortality back but what would you want in return?' He knew there was always a price with Asmodeus. He never gave stuff willing. Even when Magnus had been ready to end his life his father had done nothing. How was he even here? But this was a chance at having his magic back start to feel like himself again. Especially now that Alec didn't what him anymore.
'Nothing my son, I just can't bear to see you like this. I'll even get you your loft back.' Asmodues said with a smile.
'How? And you want nothing in return?' He questioned once more.
'My dear boy what would I be able to take from you? All I ask is you give me a chance to get to know you again' He had a point, Magnus had nothing left to offer him and would it really be that bad to have his father back in his life. He did tech a lot and maybe Magnus might be a good influence on him. Maybe they can help each other.
'Ok, yes. Please As....father may I have my magic and immortality back'
As Magnus stood there he felt a jolt of sudden electricity going through his body and he knew he had it all his magic back. For the first time in weeks he felt alive again.
