So it's been a few months and I just haven't had any ideas for anything. My writing is rusty I apologize. But TA DA! I was watching some Lindsey Stirling and reading Cassandra Clare's tumblr, and this plot bunny attacked me. I'm assuming the TMI gang get to know Brother Zachariah/Jem. He does steal their cat.
This is just some Jem and Clary friendship. NOT JemxClary
Disclaimer: I don't own the Mortal Instruments or the Infernal Devices. Or Lindsey Stirling, Miley Cyrus, Apple products or the Titanic
And Jem is ooc. A tiny bit
By the way, I thought it was weird I wasn't getting notifications on favourites, follows, reviews or PMs. I wasn't even getting notifications on stories I followed had been updating. Turns out, for the last two months, gmail had been putting everything from fanfiction into a spam folder. Thanks gmail. -.-
So if I didn't PM back or anything, that is why.
Ever since Jace had woken up from the flaming sword stab, a string of good fortune had appeared. Okay, so the bloody wings and creepy note, courtesy of brother dearest, weren't pleasant, but Clary pushed that out of her mind. First, they found out Brother Zachariah was in fact, Jace's ancestor's parabatai, then some lady had visited saying she was Jace's ancestor. Who in fact, had been married to Zachariah's parabatai.
Currently the lady, "My name is Tessa," was in the library with Jace, filling him in on his family. Clary had been allowed to be in there with them, but she sensed that Jace wanted to be alone with Tessa.
Jace was busy catching up on his family tree, leaving Clary bored. Simon was with Izzy doing God knows what, Alec and Magnus were (separately,) moping around and Luke and her mom were busy. Clary shuddered as she thought about what was keeping them busy.
So...YouTube! The red head sat and leaned against the wall to the library, pulling out her Laptop of Doom*.
Her subscriptions consisted of mostly self defence channels, music channels and drawing tutorial channels. Among her favourites was Lindsey Stirling, a violinist who could dance as well. Being a klutz, Clary couldn't picture herself dancing, much less playing an instrument at the same time.
She had about ten point six seconds of silence, when a throat cleared in front of her.
Seeing Broth-Jem, there, she immediately closed the lid. "Hello." It was odd, hearing his voice out loud instead of in her head.
"Oh, hi."
"Was that a violin I heard?" He asked curiously. He was so different now, besides the whole jeans-instead-of-parchment-robes and the lips being unsewn. His manner of speaking was different too. The hints of amusement and other emotions Clary used to hear in her mind were more pronounced.
"Yeah, I'm on YouTube. Do you know what that is?" She internally flinched. If course he would know, he was a full adult and more when YouTube was created. On the other hand, he was from the Victorian era and might not know anything about technology. Clary doubted the Silent Brothers spent their spare time playing Mortal Kombat on an Xbox, or watching movies on Netflix. A giggle almost burst from her as she imagined them sobbing in front of the TV while watching The Titanic.
"A bit yeah." He suddenly pulled out an IPhone 5 to presumably check the time. Clary's eyes widened, until she saw he was laughing.
"Though I am no longer a Silent Brother, the ability to read your thoughts is something I can still do."
"Sorry." She replied sheepishly.
"And The Titanic was a bit too unrealistic. There was room on the door for two." His eyes shone with humour.
"I know right?" Clary laughed.
He stood next to her and after a moments hesitation, slid down the wall and settled comfortably beside her. "Can you show me what you were watching?"
"Sure." She opened the lid and the sounds of Transcendence played from the speakers.
Clary noticed Jem's eyes thoughtful and maybe a bit of longing in it.
"Do you play?" She asked.
"I used to. My wedding gift to Tessa was a song I composed."
"To Tessa...? But I thought she married a guy named William."
"It's a long story. Like three books long."
"Sounds very... Interesting." The sweet sounds of the stringed instrument faded and Clary looked over at her new companion. "Do you want to hear another one?"
"I'd love to."
"Thank you again Tessa." Jace stood from the arm chair.
"It was no problem." The brunette also stood.
"So, Alec and I are related in a way." Jace began walking Tessa out the library.
"Yes. Will's sister married a Lightwood."
"Wow." Jace was speechless. Speechless because he couldn't believe he and Alec were related, and because he was watching his girlfriend huddled around a laptop with Mr. Former Silent Brother.
"Wait, so what does the fox say?" Jem asked, confused.
Clary rolled her eyes. "Do we have to watch it again?"
"What are you doing?" Tessa asked curiously.
"Clary was catching me up on the new 'in' things." Jem looked excited Jace saw. Probably didn't get internet access down in the Silent City. He inwardly chuckled as he imagined them staying up late, texting.
"Really." Tessa let out a small grin. Jace had noticed she wasn't one for showing all her emotions. Maybe she used to, but not anymore.
"Yup." Clay popped the p.
"And do you know what it means to twerk?" Jem looked a bit disgusted at this. Jace knew why.
"You showed him that Milly Cyrus video?" He raised an eyebrow.
"It's Miley Cyrus. And yes I did." Clary closed the laptop. Jace could hear the strains of Ellen Degeneres speaking, then was cut off as the lid shut.
"Sorry bout that." Jace looked at Jem apologetically.
"I don't think my mind shall ever heal." Jem woefully shook his head.
"Wait, what is a twerk?" Tessa's face was disgruntled as she realized she had no idea what the three were talking about.
The other three shared a look of panic. "IT'S NOTHING."
