Wizards of Waverly Place: He's Evil
Chapter 1
By The Master Commander

The thing is, everyone thought Alex was the only evil genius in the family and for good reason. Because really, she was an evil genius and if she ever stopped being lazy the world would never stand a chance, but the odds of that happening were slim to none. But what nobody thought about, because Alex was rather blatant about her 'lazy evil genius' status, was that Justin Russo was too perfect and good (Well Alex thought about it but she was too lazy to mention it to anyone else) at everything he did and said.

Justin was the perfect son, brother and student, his parents as well as teachers only punished him because he would cover for Alex's own misdeeds. It was so damn obvious that it wasn't even funny: He was too self-sacrificing, too uptight, he followed the rules too closely, he chastised Alex a bit too much to be genuine. He was over-acting in the worst way, but it worked because nobody ever once suspected him of anything, granting him all the freedom he needed to accomplish whatever dastardly goals he had in mind.

"I know." Alex said, leaning against the doorframe of his bedroom, watching him work on something others would consider homework but that she knew had to be an evil plot. When he didn't respond she added. "You can ignore me, but I know."

"Know what?" Justin asked at last in annoyance, turning from his homework to stare at her.

"You're evil." Alex said simply, smirking, but when he didn't react she frowned. "I said you're evil."

"Yeah, Alex," Justin said slowly, staring at her as if she had gone insane. "I think you've got that confused. See, if anyone in this family is evil, it's you or at least as close to evil as chaotic good can get."

"Oh please," Alex snorted, waving a hand as if to discard his words "I'm lazy, and I don't apply myself at learning things...but I'm not stupid."

"Well clearly you are," Justin said standing slowly and approaching her "because I'm not evil."

"Ahuh, that's just what you want me to think!" Alex countered standing up straight "But I worked it out, you're too perfect! You're hiding in plain sight."

"Alex," he said, stopping and his face looked genuinely baffled "I can't even begin to work out in how many ways your logic is messed up."

"That's because it's not!" Alex said in triumph, crossing her arms and smirking confidently.

"Do you have any other evidence, beside me being too perfect?" Justin asked after a moment, blinking.

"I totally saw that spell you put on Mr. Laritate." Alex countered, smirk becoming a toothy grin "You charmed the principal!"

"I, what, I never..." Justin started, then stopped and his shoulders slumped. "You're right, I did, but it's not what you think."

"Really, because I think you used magic to make him not tell mom and dad about something you did." Alex countered, shaking her head "Though it does make me wish I had thought of it first."

"Actually," Justin said, looking sheepish "I was putting a protection spell on him, to keep you from doing that to him. He's practically the only adult in the school that you haven't bewitched."

"Hey!" Alex retorted, glaring at him, her grin gone. "I'm doing that to protect mom and dad from stress."

"Sure, if you say so." Justin said tiredly, then scowled, eyebrows drawing together before adding. "Any other evidence?"

"Gigi." Alex offers proudly "I totally know it was you that made her go bye bye."

"I did what now?" Justin asked, staring at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Gigi? The girl bullied me for my entire school life? The one that suddenly and mysteriously disappeared one day?" Alex paused, tilting her head slightly "The girl that nobody else seems to remember and that I know for a fact you were the last person to see her?"

"Uh, well that's because she asked me to help tutor her." Justin pointed out blandly "But you are right, it's strange that she would just disappear like that. I always just thought she moved away."

"Right. Moved away. And why doesn't anyone seem to remember her?"

"Maybe they do and just don't want to talk about it?" Justin countered, tilting his own head "Or maybe T.J. did something to her, or another wizard we don't know about. You can't just assume that I'm responsible because she asked me to tutor her."

"Well what about Mom and Dad?" Alex countered, a little annoyed that he was managing to come up with plausible counters. "They never seem to notice when you spend hours away from the house."

"Alex, they do the same thing for you." Justin said before adding absently "Besides when that happens were usually together. Plus, unlike you, they do trust me not to get into trouble or end up in jail."

"You think you have all the answers don't you." Alex huffed, rolling her eyes "well I still know your evil!"

"Supposing that your hypothesis is accurate and I am, as you believe, evil why would you even tell me?" Justin asked, breathing out in exasperation "If I am, in fact, evil wouldn't my first reaction to be to get rid of anyone that could see through my cover?"

"Uh, no, you're first reaction would be to try and convince me you're not evil." Alex countered "Because we're home alone and it would totally be weird if I disappeared-"

"Really Alex?"

"Without telling Harper." Alex added, knowing that he was right, if she did just randomly disappear nobody would think twice about it.

"Except, I could make you disappear and then use the 'Transfix, Transpose Spell' to become you and tell her something."

"Oh yeah," Alex said after a moment, frowning up at him. "But still, you're not going do anything to me."

"Again, if I'm evil, why wouldn't I?"

"Because you totally need me." Alex countered smugly, and at his confused look added "I'm the red, uh, thing...you know that keeps everyone from seeing the obvious."

"A red herring." Justin supplied, before sighing "Ok, that's a good point. If I was evil, that would explain why I wouldn't simply get rid of you. But I could still mess with your memories and make you forget-"

"Spell locked a memory protection spell." Alex offered sweetly, pleased at his frown of annoyance.

"I'm, wow, that's actually pretty smart." Justin said, looking surprised. Before reaching out to lean on his open door and study her. Alex tried, well sorta tried, to ignore the rather attractive way that stretched his body out. "Ok, so obviously I couldn't just get rid of you or make you forget. But you don't gain anything by telling me you know."

"Of course I do." Alex countered smugly and at his silence explained. "It means I totally have eternal blackmail material over you! So I control you."

"Except nobody would believe you." Justin offered with a shrug "I'm too perfect, remember? Plus, it'd only be worth anything until I took over the world."

"If you were evil." Alex added dryly, fighting the urge to lick her lips because he was looking rather hot in that posture.

"If I was evil." Justin agreed, just as dryly, but the corners of his mouth were twitching in amusement.

"So, uh, I've just wasted perfectly good information and put myself square in your sights?" Alex asked, suddenly wondering why exactly she had thought it would be a good idea to confront Justin about this. She should have known that act or not act, he was still smarter than she could ever hope to be.

"Oh Alex," Justin sighed, leaning forward suddenly so that his nose brushed hers "you've always been in my sights."

"Wha-" Alex started to say before started kissing her, mouth moving against hers hungrily, tongue demanding and gaining entrance with a tiny groan from her. The kiss stretched out for several long, delicious minutes and then he broke it, leaving her to wobble in his doorway. When she managed to refocus on him, Justin was grinning far to smugly for her tastes, but damn could he kiss.

"Anything else Alex?" Justin asked sweetly, as if he had not just kissed the daylights out of his sister. "Because I really have to get back to my homework."

"Fine," Alex retorted and he abruptly closed the door, followed by an almost inaudible click as he locked it. Crossing her arms, Alex glowered at the door before adding in a frustrated tone "He's not only evil, but he's a damn tease."

"Pot met kettle." He said through the door, making her snort before storming off to her room.
