Hey everyone! I know it's been a super long time since I've last posted, and I'm so sorry about that! I haven't forgotten about my other stories, it's just I briefly drifted away from ID and more into Legend of Korra. But don't worry, I'm back into the ID universe! And I will try to update my other stories. Anyways, this one is pretty much based on the the movie Titanic, but with ID and some of the TMI characters. Some relationships between the characters will be the same, but some will be different. Note that the characters in the future are TMI, while the ones from 1912 will be all ID. I cannot guarantee that I can get all the characters in, but if anyone has any ideas of who to choose, just let me know. Finally, I would like to full-heartedly thank Fictionismylife78 for allowing me to use her similar story for Beauty and the Beast. Now onwards with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own the brilliance of Cassandra Clare nor the ingenuity of James Cameron.


Prologue

April 1995, off the coast of the Northern Atlantic Ocean

Bright lights flashed through the darkness as the submersibles were lowered into the pitch darkness of the oceanic floor. From one of them, Jace Wayland sat in a seat, a bundle of excitement as the submersible approached a massive structure. His friend, Simon Lewis, stood behind him, laughing and poking fun at Jace's excitement, but secretly eager for what was to come.

The sub passed over the bow of the ship. In the wake of the darkness and artificial light, the ship was surrounded by an eerie glow, giving off ghostly vibes of those who were never forgotten. They approached the deck of the ship and landed the sub at the edge right above the grand staircase. Jace and his crew released an orange and black robot from underneath the sub, which they smoothly lowered down further into the ship. Simon navigated the robot, or "Snoop Dog" as the crew named it. Everyone else watched in awe at the footage of the ship that was being shown on their screen. They saw many relics that were never salvaged and never decayed with age: chandeliers, shoes, and masks. Snoop Dog eventually reached a doorframe, which Simon smoothly moved the robot through, despite Jace's worries of not making it. The robot continued through, passing by a broken table, a fireplace, a piano, and finally reaching a bedroom. Jace sighed with relief as he observed the surroundings of the room. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a broken down wardrobe door. Simon carefully lifted the door with the motion sensor device controlling Snoop Dog, and unveiled what they were looking for. Jace smiled to himself with satisfaction.


The safe was lifted onto the deck of the Russian vessel, Akademik Mistislav Keldysh. People gathered around the safe, looking thrilled, as well as a documentary crew who Jace hired to film his moment of glory. Jace and Simon rushed over to the safe, eager to see what is inside of it.

"Who's the best?" Simon asked his friend, grinning.

"You are, Lewis," Jace said rolling his eyes, but playfully slapping Simon across the arm. They popped bottles of champagne as the rest of the crew celebrated and cheered on with them. Jace then turned the cameraman and told him, "You can start filming us now."

The man obeyed and started filming. Jace, like a child eager to open their Christmas presents, unlocked the safe and started pulling out the wet contents. One by one he took them out and his expression began turning grimmer. Where's the damn diamond, he thought to himself. He took out all the contents, but still he didn't find what he was expecting.

"Shit," Jace whispered to himself. He turned to the cameraman looking upset. "Turn the camera off."


Back in the lab inside the vessel, technicians vigorously worked on cleaning up the papers that were recovered from the safe. Jace anxiously paced around them, peering to see if anything important was found. In the background, the phones were madly going off as others were inquiring as how the investigation was going. Jace tried his best to ignore the noise or talking to anyone on the other line so he wouldn't be berated for what had occurred. However, something caught his attention. One of the technicians was busy cleaning a piece of paper that had a graphite drawing of a woman. Curious, Jace picked it up and studied the sketch. The woman, who he noted as being exceptionally beautiful, was completely nude, yet casually posed upon a sofa. That wasn't what attracted Jace to the picture; rather, it was what was around her neck. The diamond.


One hundred-year old Tessa Fray sat in the studio in her home in sunny California, busying herself with creating pottery. The news was playing in the room adjacent to her, while her granddaughter Clary Fray was busy in the kitchen.

"I have been planning this investigation for years and we have recovered extraordinary objects from what we found," a buff, blond man was saying on the screen. "This in particular was our most interesting find yet," the man continued, showing a drawing under the camera. The sketch depicted a nude woman with a diamond around her neck. Tessa's eyes widened at this. She never thought she would see that drawing again.

Jace had just finished showing the press about his discovery when Simon rushed over with the phone. Jace tried to brush him away, as he had more work to do, when Simon interrupted, saying there was an old woman, Tessa Fray, on the other line and it was important and that Jace should talk.

Jace put the phone at his ear and spoke, "This is Jace Wayland. What can I do for you, Mrs. Fray?"

"I was just wondering if you have found the 'Heart of the Ocean' yet Mr. Wayland," Tessa stated matter-of-factly. Jace almost dropped the phone at shock, since no one knew his real intention behind this investigation.

"Okay you have got my attention," Jace laughed, "now if you mind, Tessa, can you tell me who the woman is."

"Why yes. The woman is me."


So for the purpose of this part of the story, I had to change Tessa's last name temporarily. But it will be Gray when we shift to 1912. Oh and for the purpose of this story, Jace's last name will be Wayland just so it's not confused with Will's. I hope you all liked it! It's probably crap right now, since it's like 2 in the morning and I'm on the brink of falling asleep. Anyways, review! They make me happy :D
