In Valentine's cell in the institutes basement, loads of guards are present. Valentine is in a chair, locked in with straps so he can't escape. Jace tightens the straps, taunting the psychopath. Alisha watches with a smirk a her brother annoys the man that tortured her.
"Is that tight enough?" Jace asks as he tightens the restraints once more. "That's better." He walks over to his sister who holds the weapon which will derune Valentine. She passes it to her brother with a smile and a nod.
"I see you two have taken the new discovery of you being siblings well." Valentine says but neither of them listen. Jace walks closer to Valentine with the weapon in his hand. "Go ahead, Jace. It's not gonna stop me. It's not some rune that makes us who we are. It's our blood. And yours, my boy... is exceptional. As is yours, Miss Herondale." Alisha snarls lightly at the man in front of her.
"That's 'cause you experimented on us. On our mother." Jace spits. "Why? Why her?"
"Sweet Céline. She wanted a child so desperately. When she and Stephen learned that she was pregnant again, with you two, she was terrified that she was gonna lose the baby. So she came to me, asking for help." Valentine begins.
"And I'm sure you were so happy to oblige." Jace says sarcastically as Alisha returns to his side.
"The injections I gave your mother, laced with Ithuriel's pure angel blood, made you strong. And after her tragic death, after I pulled you both from her womb, barely alive, I raised you to use that blood whilst them pathetic excuse of shadowhunters raised you." Valentine says the last sentence to Alisha. She growls and slaps him across the face making his head turn to the side. Jace grabs the girl before she ends up killing him. Once Valentine recovered, he turned to Jace. "I taught you-"
"You taught me not to feel." Jace interrupts. "You taught me that to love is to destroy, and to be loved is to be the one destroyed."
"And you've proven how right I've been all along. Look at you. Your love for Clary, it will be your downfall." Valentine says venomously.
"Don't you dare bring her into this." Jace spits, becoming defensive over the girl he used to date.
"She is as much a part of this as you are." Valentine states.
"He said keep her out of it." Alisha says as Jace turns to one of the guards. "And I suggest you listen to him or I'll have a bunch of werewolves tearing you from limb to limb." The guard Jace turns to pulls Valentine's head back with a strap whilst Jace leans forwards and begins to laser Valentine's rune off. The two smile slightly at the sound of the man they hate's screams.
