Alec, Serena and Sebastian were gathered around a console table as Jace and Izzy walked over.
"We requested that we move Valentine to the Gard in Idris. Grandma approved the transfer," Serena explained to the duo and Jace smiled at the mention of their Grandmother whom they both kept in contact with frequently over fire message and the occasional phone call.
"What, you told them about the assassination attempt?" Izzy asked.
"No. But we convinced them that moving Valentine out of the city is the best way to restore relations with the Downworld. We left Luke out of it," Alec answered.
"It is the right decision," Sebastian piped up.
"But we have not given up finding who orchestrated the hit on Valentine," Alec added.
"I actually have a few leads on that. I can get Serena a report by the end of the day," Sebastian announced and Alec nodded at him.
"Great. Thank you."
And he nodded as he walked off, tapping away on a tablet screen.
They then turned to their brother and sister.
"Izzy, you will be leading the transfer mission. And Jace you will assist," Alec assigned and Serena gave a wicked grin.
"And the best part is, that we need to remove Valentine's Circle rune, because the new wards on Idris won't let him pass with it on."
The duo mirrored Serena's grin.
"Jace, you want the honours?" Izzy asked and the boy smirked.
"Thought you'd never ask."
"Okay. I'll make the arrangements."
Serena's arm latched with Izzy's just before she left, back to their old rhythms after their conversation last night, both of them feeling better than they had in weeks as their bond began to heal too. "I'll join you. I want to make sure that the security cameras are in perfect working condition when they capture the look on Valentine's face as it happens."
As they walked off, Alec leaned towards his parabatai.
"Tell me that I'm making the right call, 'cause, between you and me, I'm just not sure I'm good at this," Alec admitted.
"What are you talking about?" Jace asked in disbelief. "Look you were born for this job. Hey, think of it like archery, ok? Just, trust yourself and don't hesitate, and if you do, well, that's why my sister is your Co-Head."
And Alec smiled as he pulled his brother in for a quick hug.
