Chapter 4: First Meeting

The gang arrived at the airport to pick up their tickets and head to their plane. They didn't expect to be flying on a private jet, like seriously a freaking private jet. Magnus didn't know what to do, it was so surreal; "Who the hell are we working for Magnus?" Will asked in higher octave than normal. "I don't know, but they have to be big. I didn't get much information other than be at the airport to get our tickets and head to California-but who ever it is, I'm just happy that we all were asked to come". They didnt say much after that-just headed to their private jet and got seated. The gang were ecstatic, never been on a plane before, well in this case a private jet. [Pilot voice... Please fasten your seat belts, we will be taking off in five minutes-please turn off all devices untill we are at an alititude of 10,000 feet-there are drinks and snacks in the fridge-enjoy the flight we'll arrive in exactly 2.5 hours] "Omg Magnus this is so amazing! I can't believe this is happening, what do you think our jobs will be?" Clary asked. "I hope its something that goes along with our talents, i don't want to be embarrassed if i can't do something". She said in a whisper only he could hear. He took her hand and give her a soft smile, to reassure her that everything would be fine.

The jet took off, and soon enough they were in the sky in a bunch of clouds. Will and Jem were talking in whispers probably not wanting to be heard, Ragnor and Tessa were laughing at some movie they were watching, while Clary of course was drawing away on her sketch pad and smiling. Magnus was daydreaming about a certain blue-eyed Lightwood, he really wanted to see him again- not that he hadn't-the boy was all over the place. He wanted to really see him and talk to him-ask the singer why they really stopped being friends or atleast try and fix it. "Hey Magnus, did you hear that Alec Lightwood broke up with Sebastain Verlac beacuse he was cheating on him?" Tessa asked. "WHAT?!?! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE WAS GAY!! OMG!! Why would he cheat on Alexander, he is the dumbest muggle on the planet". Okay dude you have got to stop with the Harry Potter references, it's becoming an headache- but he was not listening to anything she was saying, too wrapped up in his mind about the information he just received. "Alexander was gay, how could he not know this back then, everything would have been so different if he knew that, granted he was too busy with Camille to even pay close attention to those details, of course she was always trying to get me away from him but he never understood why, now everything is so clear-" he was cut out of his thoughts by Ragnor when he told everyone to look out of the window. They could see the land scape Los Angeles coming into view. This is it, they were going to meet Isabelle Lightwood to find out about the job they would partake in.

They were picked up by a driver that was waiting for them when they landed. He took their bags and escorted them to a all black with tinted windows SUV- Once everyone was inside they driver took them to an house in Beverly Hills that they would be staying in for the two weeks. The house was huge, with glass windows all over the house, a private pool with a jacuzzi, an basketball court, tennis court, and a golf course. The gang was speechless, the house was breath taking. There were pictures on the wall of the family that owns the house, when Magnus looked at the pictures closely he gasped. This was the Lightwoods estate and they were going to be living here for two weeks.

"Guys the kitchen is fully stocked" , Will said with a mouth full of chips, of course the first place William goes is to the kitchen. "Stop talking with food in your mouth Will, you are not a pig well nevermind, I do remember you were always a animal when you ate." said a voice in a London accent. Everyone laughed at that and turned to see Isabelle Lightwood standing in some dark denim skinny jeans, a plain white shirt with an tan jacket with tan knee high boots to match- her hair was down with curls and some white hoop earrings to end the look. IZZY!! The gand shouted and rushed to give hugs one at a time. "Hey guys, how are you? I know it been years since we last seen each other. So come on tell me every detail" she said and they got to talking for an hour until she told them that it was time to meet their new boss and they were in for a treat since said boss is in the studio recording a live session with the band to put on their new youtube channel.

They left the house and heading back inside of the SUV, on the way to the studio. It took an hour drive to get there it was an secluded place. Secluded meaning a big ass warehouse that looked like it was runned down, but once we got inside it took your breath away. It was clean, fully furnished, all the floors of the warehouse were different, it had a bunch of offices in this place, but they going to the studio floor. They had to take the elevator down to the floor- the elevator made the ding sound to let them know they arrived at their destination- when they walked out and entered the doors, everyone gasp loudly.

Standing in the room with the bad was none other than Alexander Lightwood. Wearing a plain white tee, with black skinny jeans, a black beanie with some black doc Martin books with white and red design on them, he had a sleeve tattoo, on his left arm. He looks sexy as hell standing there talking with the band to get ready to record the song. The engineer asked Alec was he ready, and he just nodded and gave a thumbs up.

"Okay guys lets try to get this in one take yeah, we have alot of songs to do today, plus write for our new album-we also have to meet the new team i hired, they should be here today, they will be arriving here at some time i didn't bring my phone so i can't tell you exactly when, but lets give it a go yeah?" Alec said to his band not knowing that his sister and new staff were on the other side of the glass watching them not saying a word, to excited to even breathe. The band just nodded listening to their boss

Rapheal started playing the keys, Helen and Simon came in with bass and guitar. Jordan came in with the drums- Alec was bobbing his head to the music waiting to come in with maia and start singing but was interrupted when he camera guy waved at him saying he doesn't have his camera on to record any of the behind the scenes of them setting up, talking about what their day consisted of. To say Alec was upset was an understatement, not only was he upset but the whole band was livid. This was supposed to be their Vlogs for youtube and he had nothing.

"Mike are you seriously taken the piss? We've done a lot today and you're telling me that you have nothing recorded? WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THEN?! You know what don't even answer that, i can't believe you weren't recording anything all day from six am". Alec said he was so frustrated and you could see it in his face. "Hey boss, you have a phone call", David the engineer said through the speaker. Alec nodded and left the band to talk to Mike, they were as frustrated just as Alec. They had a lot of important things discussed for their fans and the man just ruined everything.

Alec stepped back inside the room unaware that he had an audience until izzy spoke up. "Hey big bro, how are you?". Alec looked at his sister and smiled l for the first time in weeks he actually smiled. "Hey Iz, please tell me the gang is here, i can't another second with the idiot on the floor with the band i wont go another day with him, its not the first time he's done this". Izzy looked at him and smiled-she turned around so he could see the gang standing there looking at them with wide eyes and opened mouths. "Oh, Hey guys i didn't see you standing there, so sorry you had to see me be a dick, but sometimes you have to be. So, lets get right to it then. Where is- RAGNOR! Please tell me you still know how to work a camera. I need you to come with me asap-". He stopped mind sentence because he had the feeling he was being entirely rude, but they were on a time crunch and need this video recorded, edited, and upload by six pm and it was already three in the afternoon. I'm terribly sorry, I'm being insanely rude, but we are on an time crunch and we have a lot of stuff to do today-so important just going to ask this once and if i don't like your answer you can get right back on the plane to New York."

They were so shocked they didn't know what to do or say. Will was the first one to recover "What exactly is the question your going to ask Lightwood?" he said like he always did all through high school. Alec smiled and shook his head at his old friend and look him straight in the eyes- "Can i trust you?" Alec asked. He looked at all of them waiting for an answer. "Yes you can trust us, you should know that Lightwood". Alec laughed, a genuine laugh that reached his eyes. "Right, okay your hired! Contracts will be signed later today when you meet the band. Any questions? ". He asked them, but looking at his watch instead at them, the really needed to hurry or they would miss the deadline and Alec was going to have an ear full of complaints from their fans, and he didn't want to disappoint them or anyone else for that matter. " Yeah i have a question, why are we still talking? lets make a videoRagnor said. "Right this way Mr. Fell" Alec said in a sarcastic voice.

Ragnor and Alec disappeared into the room, meeting the band and taking the camera from Mike to get started making the video for the band they are working for. Meanwhile Izzy, Clary, Will, Jem, Tessa, and Magnus were just staring into the room looking at them set up the cameras in different places to get what they needed- satisfied with the set up, the band started with the beat, and Alec began to sing.

Ever since I could remember,

everything inside of me,

just wanted to fit in (oh, oh, oh,)

I was never one for pretenders

Everything I tried to be,

Just wouldn't settle in (oh, oh, oh)

If i told you what i was,

would you turn your back on me?

And if i seem dangerous,

would you scared?

Everything I touch isn't dark enough

if this problem lies in me

Ragnor was moving in and out with the camera getting up close and personal with the band so you can see and feel the emotion they sung in the song. Alec had his eyes closed singing the song from the heart. Magnus gasp when he opened his eyes, he could see that he had tears threatening to fall, he turn to Izzy and she was crying watching her brother. He couldn't help but wonder why this song effected them so much. The band as well, it must be a back-story for the song. He continued to listen to the lyrics to figured out why it had so much power to make people cry.

I'm only a man with a chamber who's got me

I'm taking a stand to escape whats inside me,

A monster, a monster

a monster, a monster,

and it keeps getting stronger,

Can i clear my conscience,

I'm different from the rest,

Do i have to run and hide? (oh, oh, oh)

I never said that i want this,

This burden came to me, and

and it's home inside (oh, oh, oh)

The song was coming to the end and Alec was dancing around with his eyes closed clapping his hands along with beat. When the band stop playing, the cameras were still recording- Alec motioned for Ragnor to come up he started to explain the song to the camera. " This song is very personal to me, i wrote it when i was in high school struggling with my sexuality getting criticized for being different not liking females, not having sex with females, not asking them out, not playing football or basketball. I always had to hide who i really was and it created something inside me wanting to get out. So for everyone out there take my advice and don't give in to stereotypes, be yourself, find people who will except you for who you are. Don't hide yourself it will just make it worse. Do what makes you happy and never be ashamed that you are different- and with that, we will see you next time with a 'Day in the life' vlog, later my lovely shadowhunters".

The band walked out and immediately Alec started the introduction of the gang and the band. Of course some already knew each other the only person the gand didn't know was Maia, she didn't go to school with everyone else. Right so know that you've meet, its time to get to business. So as you all know that we are in need of a media staff, the old team wasn't as trustworthy and I'm hoping since we all go way back to high school and know each other so well that this shouldn't be a problem. "What are our jobs exactly" Magnus asked looking Alec in the eyes- it seemed like time slowed down when their eyes met. Someone cleared their throat and Alec continued "ahem, sorry about that, like i was saying media staff, etc. Clary i need you to be the bands make-up artist, Magnus you will be the bands stylist, Tessa you will be my personal assistant, Jem will be the bands photographer, Ragnor will be out camera man, And my doppelganger will be my stage manager. The contact will be for two years if it's a problem let me know now so i can make arrangements to sort it out. We will be going on tour next month with releasing a new album in two months time. It will get stressful at times and you may want to quit, but I'm hoping you will want to sick with us for a long time. Once i pick the people i want working for us, its permanent, there will be no replacements. I would like to keep one staff, we are family, and our family never turns on each other except the other fuckers i had... So what do you say? Would you like to join Mortal Instruments team? ".

"Where's the pen?" Magnus asked. Alec looked at him and smiled getting up to get the contracts and letting them sign them.

WELCOME TO MORTAL INSTRUMENTS!!
