Summary:

"ALEXANDER!" Magnus screamed as he watched Alec's chest still, hand stretched towards him just beyond his reach and Magnus felt something in his soul fall and then shatter, it almost felt like dying.

Magnus could hear Jace and Isabelle shouting Alec's name, could hear Clary cursing the Angel and demanding to know why he'd killed Alec and Magnus didn't care as he finally managed to tear himself away from the Circle member that had been holding him away from Alec.

His hands suddenly free as Magnus crawled to Alec's side, his fingers tracing the side of the man's face as Magnus laid himself next to Alec and place his hand in the one that Alec had stretched out to him.

Magnus hardly noticed the Angel step up behind him and stop, refused to look at the being that had taken Alec from him, or had that been Magnus who had done that, made Alec go away when he had said that he couldn't have both, had walked away from Alec, had not chosen Alec when the man had chosen him that day when he had decided not to marry Lydia, had decided that he had to kiss Magnus instead and now... now Alec was gone and Magnus... Magnus wanted to join him where ever the man had gone.

"DO YOU LOVE HIM, WARLOCK?" The Angel asked in that soft echoing boom he had.

"Does it matter?" Magnus asked as his thumb began rubbing circles against Alec's limp hand.

Yes, Magnus loved Alec, loved him so much and it had broken his heart to see Alec's devistation when Magnus had left him standing in the Institute's hall, Magnus sometimes wondered how long Alec had waited for him to return before returning to work and his family, Magnus fooled himself into thinking Alec had stood there for more than a moment.

"NO." The Angel answered, the answer did not surprise Magnus.

Something burst over the lake and the noise that shattered the silence of the night reminded Magnus of fireworks and Magnus had wanted to take Alec to see the fireworks that the Chinese set off for their new year celebrations.

Alec felt a little surprised when his Soul merged from all the tiny pieces it had broken into returning to a single form once more, tearing through the silence with an echoing boom.

Alec's gaze fell to Raziel first as the Angel turned to look at him and then Alec looked at Magnus, Magnus who was just laying next to his mortal shell and Alec felt anger fill him as he had never allowed it to fill him.

The pure white of his soul light changed and a deep burning red, almost like fire spread through the white as he marched towards Raziel, he ignored Valentine and the rest, he'd deal with them later.

"WHY?!" Alec shouted as he slammed the other Angel against a tree, the wood burning where the Angel touched.

"YOU COULD NEVER HAVE STAYED ANYWAY." Raziel said.

"THAT WAS NOT YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE, I CHOSE LONG AGO TO COME TO THEM TO GUIDE THEM BACK, I CHOSE TO SAVE THEM." Alec screamed and threw Raziel towards the lake where the Angel splashed against the water, steam riseing from around him.

"THERE IS NO SAVING THE NEPHILIM, THEY ARE CORRUPT AND EVIL, IT WAS MY MISTAKE THINKING HUMANS COULD UNDERSTAND DIVINE CALLING." Raziel snarled as he stood.

"JUST LIKE THERE WAS NO SAVING YOU?" Alec asked softly.

"THIS IS NOT EDOM, PHANUEL." Raziel snapped.

"NO, IT IS NOT, AND SOMETHING THERE CHANGED YOU." Alec said, "YOU WERE DIFFERENT BEFORE."

"I'LL TRY AGAIN, START OVER, YOU CAN HELP ME." Raziel offered his hand to Alec and Alec stared at it.

Alec let his gaze rise from the hand to Raziel's face, he stepped forward, not taking the hand and let his light fade from the passionate red back to his pure white, and Alec wrapped his glow around Raziel in the aproximation of a hug.

"I WILL HELP YOU, RAZIEL, MY FRIEND." Alec murmured and then he squeezed until there was nothing left of Raziel but the tiniest piece of his soul, "WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE MORE THAN GUIDES, YOU ARE NOT WHO YOU USED TO BE, WE WILL TRY AGAIN, YOU WILL BE BORN, LIKE I WAS, I WILL FIND YOU A GOOD FAMILY."

Alec twisted the silvery soul into a butterfly which he fastened to his wrist.

"Hail, Good Angel." Valentine began.

Alec stared down at the man and forced his soul down, twisting himself until he appeared as he had for the last twenty years, even though his mortal shell still lay on the ground.

Valentine flinched as Alec gazed at him, "I am Phanuel, I am not beholden to the rules of the Instraments for they were not made by me, I will not grant you any request, you are ucky I am allowing you and yor followers their lives."

"Now, listen here..." Valentien tried.

"Enough of you, never again will you speak ill words, never again will you fight, never again will you seek harm to another, these three things you will abide by, Valentine Morganstern lest your life be forfeit." Alec stared at Valentine, "And these rules apply to any being that breathes."

With those words Alec continued passed him and knelt next to Magnus, his hand settling on his shoulder.

"No." Magnus whimpered as he caught the Angel's form from the corner of his eyes, "Please."

"Magnus," Alec murmured, "I, please come away, it is not me."

"It is, the Angel killed you."

"He killed the mortal form I was born into twenty years ago." Alec explained softly, "Angels cannot kill one another, else Gabriel would have killed Lucifer long ago, and Michael would have allowed Lucifer to end him."

Magnus looked at Alec and Alec smiled, "Please, come away, my love."

Magnus took the hand Alec offered and let the Angel help him up.

"Is this real?" Magnus asked as he traced over Alec's cheek.

"It's solid but I don't know how long I can actually hold it, I'm... I'm used to less power lately." Alec shrugged.

"Alexander." Magnus murmured and then they were kissing and Alec lost his concintration and his form collapsed and he was a mass of light again.

"SORRY." Alec said and found his form again, "I have a feeling that's going to happen everytime you kiss me."

Magnus raised an eyebrow.

"You make me forget to think and you just kind of wrap yourself around me and inside me and it's beautiful, Magnus."

"Not to interrupt or anything, but you think you could untie us?" Jace asked, "And Alec could maybe explain ABOUT BEING AN ACTUAL ANGEL!" Jace finished, shouting.

Alec grinned and snapped the ropes away, "You want to get out of here?" He asked Magnus.

"I thought you'd never ask." Magnus grinned and conjured a portal, lifting Alec up and walking through it leaving Jace, Izzy, and Clary behind.

"Really guys?" Izzy shouted after them, "How are we supposed to get all the Circle members back?"

"Miss?" A small voice asked.

Izzy turned and then had to look down, "Yes?"

The little boy about ten stared at her, "Do you know where my parents are?"

"Um.." Izzy looked around the shore and saw that there was not a sincle circle member over ten besides Valentine who was sulking as Jace tied him hands with a scowl, "Why don't you come with us and we'll help you find them."

Clary summoned a portal and they watched the children go through.

"I can't believe Alec chose to de-age them instead of tying them up." Clary said.

"I'm not." Jace said, "Phanuel is the angel of Repentence and hope."

Clary stared at Jace, "I suppose that does make sense."

"Alright, let's try to convice mom we're not crazy and that Alec really is an Angel and Raziel wanted to kill us all." Izzy clapped her hands together, "Yep, we're screwed, and not in the fun way that Alec probably is at the moment."

"Erg, Izzy, why?" Jace cried.

Clary rolled her eyes and followed them through the portal.

I don't even know what this turned into, it was just going to be a silly little thing where Alec was an Actual Angel sent to fix the Clave and then Raziel became evil and... I don't know.

I really like the idea that everybody's soul has a different color and that our emotions and actions can change or influence that color. Kind of like a personality thing.
