Alec and I were both exhausted when we made our way back to the Institute. We had stayed up most of the night talking to Magnus and helping take care of Lukes wounds.
When we walked into the Institute we saw Izzy and she had asked us if we had slept at Magnus's place.
"We didn't do much sleeping." A smirk found it's way to Izzy's mouth.
"No, no we helped treat Lukes wounds." Trying to clear the air. I couldn't help but notice he was slightly flustered.
"Really?" The smirk still on her face.
"What?"
"Nothing I believe you." She made her way over to us.
"Ok. Magnus made cocktails but I'm telling you nothing else happened." I rolled my eyes. I wouldn't have minded if something had happened.
"When you're ready to talk about it, I'm here."
"Hey, I talk to you."
"About everything but your personal life. You know it's kinda not fair because I talk to you about mine all the time. For example, I broke up with Meliorn."
"Really? Turning over a new leaf?" Izzy scoffs.
"He was a bit much. Apparently, I need someone more Shadowhunterish."
"Izzy I realize that you're trying to take some of the families heat and I appreciate it but you can't change who you are."
"Really? And you can?"
"I know who I am. I'm a guy who's about to be disowned when he finds out Jace and Clary are out doing god knows what."
"Dads used to that by now. This is Jace your talking about."
"He'd said he'd be an hour. It's been three."
"You don't think he and Clary are..." She trailed off.
"At a time like this? Not possible."
We both left Izzy as she held some smile on her face. I was heading back to my room to shower as I didn't get a chance to before we got to Magnus's loft. Not that I'm complaining but I do feel gross. Once I did my business I had slipped on some simple black leggings with a loose black tank top to go with a cute black lacy bralette. I slipped on my combat boots and my leather jacket. (I would put the outfit here but since I started using polyvore it has changed and turned into ssence and it is no longer the same I have to get new apps to create my outfits.)
I made my way towards Alec and Izzy and noticed them talking.
"What's up?"
"Jace called for back up at the police station."
"Of course, Clary probably got him in something and he needs help." We grabbed our weapons and made our way to Clary and Jace.
When we arrived at the police station Izzy asked who called for back up.
"Yea what took you guys so long?" Jace asked.
"Funny I was about to ask you the same thing," I smirked at Alec's response.
"It's complicated." Jace all but rolled his eyes.
"We found the cup," Clary spoke up and that surprised me.
"The cup?"
"Yea but then we lost it. We have to sneak back into the precinct to get it."
"This is a disaster." Alec crossed his arms.
"Hey, demonpox is a disaster this is an inconvenience. We just need a plan that's all."
"What about a glamour?" Izzy stood with her arms at her side.
"We tried that but anyone working with Valentine will see right through it."
"Can we ask Magnus Bane to portal us inside?" I scoffed.
"That's not how portals work Clary," I said at the same time Alec said no.
"That'd be awkward." Izzy looked away from us. "Magnus can only portal us to places he's been to before," Izzy explains.
Clary's phone began to ring at the worst time. Knowing her it was probably Simon but he could wait the cup was far more important right now. Clary went off to answer her phone and I grew irritated. Jace went over to end Clary's talk with Simon and for that I was thankful.
Izzy, Alec and I were going to try and get a keycard to access the evidence vault while Clary and Jace would already be up there waiting. We just had to figure out how to get the keycard first.
Alec, Izzy and I walked into the police station and I heard Izzy tell Alec that he would be the distraction which caused me to laugh lightly. I didn't want to draw attention to us. I am so going to get a kick out of seeing Alec try and flirt with the nice desk lady.
"Don't worry it's good practice." Izzy smiled as she tried to help Alec with his look.
"For what?" Alec looked confused.
"For when you ask out Magnus and Elena." She smirked and I could feel myself blush. Izzy unbuttoned a few of the top buttons of his shirt. I couldn't help but admire what I saw. I mean I have seen him shirtless before but still, my body reacted to him even if he was wearing a shirt.
"What are you doing?" Alec seemed flustered.
"Unbuttoning your shirt what does it look like I'm doing?"
A giggle escaped my lips as I watched Alec button up his shirt again before walking over to the desk cop.
"He is going to fail at this Izzy." Izzy rolled her eyes at me.
I watched as Alec tried to flirt with her before spilling her water bottle and making a mess. I pressed my palm to my forehead as Izzy walked her way towards Alec to get the ID badge needed to get inside. I walked over to Alec to hopefully save him.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
"Alec, There you are darling." I put a sweet smile on my face. I saw Izzy had the badge so I helped Alec grab a few pamphlets as we left the nice desk lady.
Izzy was on her way to cut the power to the building so Jace and Clary could get into the evidence vault. So Alec and I made our way outside to wait.
"I really hope Clary can get the cup. It would solve some problems with the Clave."
"Some but not all Elena." I knew he was right. Valentine was still out there and once he knew Clary or the Clave had the cup he would come after it. Izzy soon joined us one the power was cut. It was now all a waiting game.
Jace and Clary ran out of the precinct and we ran to join them.
"Did you get the cup?"
"Theoretically." I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion. What could she possibly mean?
"What do you mean theoretically?"
"Yea, I found the cup but I have to figure out how I reached into my notebook before. It's not an exact science."
"Can't you just pull the cup out?"
"I can theoretically. It's not as easy as it looks Alec."
"Look you two can discuss theory as much as you want when we get back to the Institute but right now considering we just stole from the cops I suggest we go." Jace cut in.
"Guys... I think the mundanes are the least of our worries." I looked over at Izzy and saw her necklace began to glow. Demons.
"At least we know the demon necklace works."
"Never a dull day."
"Let's go."
We all started walking away. Each of us keeping a close eye out for the demon. Of course, Clary lagged behind and ran into a demon.
"How did it find us?"
"I don't know but she brought friends." I followed his eyes and noticed more demons. A fight was brewing.
"How can you tell?" I wanted to tell Clary to shut up. I just kept walking.
"It's like seeing through a glamour." Jace tried to get her to comprehend.
"Behind us." Clary looked behind and she looks confused. By the angles she needs training.
"I still can't see them. There are too many people."
"I don't say this often but I agree with Clary we need to go now."
I could see the countless shapeshifters. This was going to be hard to get out of. We were all running away from the demons when Clary led us to a door and asked for the unlock rune. Instead, Jace just kicked the door in. While the rest of the group continued down the hall Alec and I took out our weapons. I gave him a look that said don't even bother telling me not too and he only nodded.
"Wait. What are you both doing?" Jace ran back to ask us.
"We are going to hold them off. Take Clary back to the Institute."
"If you're staying, I'm staying. We fight together."
"Don't be stupid. The demons get the cup we're dead anyway." Alec was right. The cup was more important right now.
"We're not leaving anyone behind."
"We don't have a choice."
"You know Alec is right Jace. Take Clary back and go."
"I know you guys are having a moment but we really have to go."
"No worry, it isn't like this is the first time Alec has saved your life. I doubt it will be the last."
"Go." Jace gave Alec a look before hurrying after Clary and Izzy.
Alec string uphis bow and I held my seraph blade. I knew if I had too I would be able to use my Warlock magic to help us out. I could just feel my fingertips buzzing with my magic. A few purple sparks seeped out.
Demons began flooding in and Alec could only shoot so many arrows at once. I tried keeping up with my seraph blade but I knew it wouldn't be enough. I dropped my blade and felt my eyes go violet as I switched to using my magic. I pushed them back and held them there while Alec was able to kill them all. When I was done I turned away from Alec's gaze. He had never seen me with my eyes before and I was worried they would scare him off.
"Hey, are you okay?" His tone worried.
"I'm fine." My voice tense as I spoke.
"Hey, hey look at me."
When I turned around I could see him suck in a breath. My eyes still vibrant. He grabbed my hand to comfort me and I enjoyed it. I could feel myself calm down and my eyes went back to their normal color. I tightly gripped his hand and I never wanted to let go. Luke came running into the small room we were in.
"Hey, you guys okay?"
"Yea, we're good Luke but we should probably go Clary and them probably need our help." I finally let go of Alec's hand and bent down to pick up the seraph blade that I had dropped.
When we came running towards Clary she seemed off.
"Clary!" Luke yelled.
"Get back!" She screamed at us. "How do I know your Luke?"
"I got you spray paint for your birthday. What happened?"
"Uh, demons. Long story, Um, where did you come from?"
"Jail. I ran into Alec and Elena. They said you might need some help."
"Apparently not. Looks like she took care of it."
"Shouldn't we be going or something?"
"Oh, don't worry about it. I got the pack on the lookout they will take care of the demons."
"Look at you leader of the pack." Luke shrugged his shoulders.
"It has its perks."
"Shall we?"
When we got back to the Institute Clary went right for Jace and hugged him. I stood next to Alec and by the look on his face he didn't seem to happy so this time I wrapped my hand around his in support. When Clary kissed Jace he took my hand in his fully and dragged me away from it all. I could feel Alec was hurting but I knew he didn't want to talk about it.
Instead of talking this time he seemed to be the one to take me to Central Park Zoo. Ignoring the fact that is was closed we made our way towards the penguins and sat in silence. If he wanted to talk I knew he would and instead I just let him hold my hand and watch the Emperor Penguins.
