Cassandra Clare and Rick Riordan own everything. Except for Alex Fierro, nobody owns her. 

Please enjoy.

"Alex, please don't do this." 

All Magnus got was a woft. He guessed that was a no.

At the place, him, Alex, Mallory, Halfborn, T.J  were eating at they wouldn't let Alex into the girls' bathroom even know she was dressed really feminine. Her solution? Turn into a dog and pee outside. 

Alex turned her head around and gave him a look. It seemed to say I may be a dog but you're still not going to watch. "

"I wasn't going to!" Magnus exclaimed. She squints her eyes as if to say really. He put his hands up in surrender and turned around. 

The two demigods were in the alley behind Taki's dinner, the place across the street from where they were eating. "Hey Alex,"  Magnus said, "why don't you just go to the bathroom in there." He motioned to Taki's. 

Alex turned back into a human and stood up. She smoothed out her emerald green dress, "Too late, already went. But we can see what food they have. The other place sucks. " 

"Okay, I'll go get T.J, Halfborn, and Mak. You go inside and get us a table."

"Na. I'm good." "Fine, you stay here." "Whatever."

He went across the street only to find he didn't even have to go inside. All three of them where leaning agents the wall, near the front door. Mallory and Halfborn looked pleased enough, Mak was even smiling, while T.J, on the other hand, looked annoyed.

"What happened?" Magnus asked. Halfborn laughed, "Ms. Keen happened." He turns toward her, "What did you do?"

She shrugged and only then did he notice she had her knives out, one in each hand. "Let's just say we don't have to worry about any more boys hitting on me in New York." Magnus looked from the knives to Mallory to the knives to Mallory, with increasing panic.

"You didn't-." "Kill him, no. T.J made sure of that," she said calmly. 

"All he did was flirt! He didn't do anything inappropriate!" T.J exploded. "I told him to screw off he didn't," Mallory said in the same nonchalant tone. "THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU KILL HIM." 

You know it's bad when T.J raises his voice.

She shrugged. "When you live in Valhalla, you get used to killing those who annoy you." They continued to argue, while Halfborn just sat there and smiled at his girlfriend. Then Magnus remembered Alex waiting in the Alley.

"Guys," he said. They all looked up at him surprised, he thought they might have forgotten he was there. "Do you want to eat, or sit here all night arguing. Cause if it's the second option, I better go get popcorn."

"Fine," Mallory said standing up. She had on khaki shorts and a dark green tee. Her hair was up in a bushy ponytail. Halfborn had on sweat pants and, thank Odin, a shirt on. T.J was in his usual Civil War uniform, which got a few odd looks but they couldn't care less. They went back to the alley and got Alex. 

"Finally," she said. Together they walked toward Taki's. Right before the Einherjar walked in, Alex slipped her hand in Magnus'. He knew from past experiences not to make a huge deal out of it or she would let go. Still, he couldn't help but smile. 

Alex surveyed the diner. It was a decent mortal establishment She had found an empty table and started walking toward it when she felt Magnus abruptly stop walking. She turned around only to see all four of her friends' pale-faced.  They were all staring at one spot. When Alex follow there gaze, she saw why. 

There were two men eating raw meat with their hands. Normally this would just be weird/gross. But as demigods, you could never be too careful. Alex suddenly caught the eye of a strange man. He was sitting alone in a booth at the very back of the restaurant and he was staring right at her. 

Alex, being Alex, immediately forgot all about the Maybe Giants and stared right back, daring him to look away. 

She was pulled out of her challenge for dominance by Magnus pulling on her arm slightly. "We should probably go." Alex really didn't want to risk it with the Maybe Giants but there was something about this guy. 

Without breaking eye-contact she said, "You guys go." "You sure?" Alex unhooked her garrot from the belt loops on her dress. She then wrapped the garrot around her fingers. "Yes, I'm sure. I'll meet you at Annabeth's." 

Magnus hesitantly kissed her on the cheek, as if afraid she would pull away. She didn't tho. Alex loved his kisses more than she would like to admit. 

After a few seconds, she wanted to turn around and see if her friends were gone yet. But she dared not look away. Alex had no idea who this man was but she did know one thing, establishing dominance was key. He needed to know she was in charge. 

Alex slowly made her way over to him. She sat down in the booth across from him. "I know who you are," was all he said.

"Oh," Alex took her time raveling and unraveling her garrot around her fingers. She decided to humor him. "You do?" 

"You're a child of Loki." That stopped Alex in her tracks. "You're who they call the Feared Argr." 

"And how do you know this, Mr.-" "Bane," the man interrupted. "I was gonna say Mr. Turdball, but Bane works to I guess." Bane looked surprised, as if he wasn't used to being talked to that way. 

"Do you have any idea who I am?"

"Yes. Someone who's a$s I could kick." Glitter Boy didn't like that answer. 

"Young lady, I am the High Warlock of Brooklyn." 

"And that matters to me because? I am a very busy, Sparkles. Don't waste my time." 

This exchange when on for several hours. Alex looked at the clock o the wall. 11:30. She figured Magnus was spiraling right about now. "I'd better get going. My boyfriend must be really worried about me."

Bane looked over at the clock. "As yes, my boyfriend probably is too." 

"Knew it," Alex muttered. 

"Knew what?"

"That you where gay. I mean, you look fey enough that your spit could have been the chemical that turned the frogs gay." 

Bane looked like he had a lot of questions but all he said was, "I'm bisexual actually."

"Where all the girls you dated blind?"

"Is your boyfriend deaf? How does he put up with you?" 

The Warlock and the Einherjar sat there, just glaring at each other. Than Alex took out her phone and slid it across the table. "Put your number in." 

"WHAT??"

"You know about my dad. So you know about my world. So there is a 50% chance your gonna need my help at some point or another." Bane begrudgingly did as she said. 

Alex took her phone back and stood up.

"Besides," she said. "We immortals have to stick together." And just like that, Alex Fierro was out of Taki's.  

Despite having forced Bane to give his number to her, Alex was certain she was never gonna see him again. Boi, oh boi, was she wrong. 

Hello. Just wanna say it was so incredibly fun to write Alex and Magnus insulting each other. I love them both so much. Let me know what you think of the story. Criticism is welcome. <3 <3 <3
