A/N: Since I got 5 reviews (I really got 6 but since KassandraKhaos is my best friend and I coerced her into reading this, her review doesn't count) here it is, as promised - AN UPDATE!

Nothing bad in this chapter.

All characters belong to Cassandra Clare… Sadly…

P.S. I'm working on a Harry Potter fanfiction that I just started so this one probably won't be updated regularly…

P.P.S. Sorry for the REALLY short chapter...

Magnus, guilt coursing through his veins, drives himself and Alec down the busy Brooklyn streets to his destination. He'd turned on the radio as soon as they got in the car and instantly started singing to every one of the songs so he'd have an excuse not to talk.

He thinks back to his phone conversation with Jace earlier that week…

*2 days ago*

"Hello?"

"Hey Magnus, it's me…"

"Oh, hey Jace. What's up?"

"I think he's ready."

"To 'be fixed' as you put it?"

"Yeah, I've got a plan."

"And it is?"

"Well, you know that church thingy Alec is always talking about? The Institute?"

"…Yeah…"

"I got him to say where exactly it is and I went there and it's unmistakable."

"So it's real?"
"No. But it USED to be. In 1789. He described some pretty detailed things though and enough of it is there that, if he sees it, he'll recognize it."

"So you're gonna take him there?"

"No. YOU'RE gonna take him there."

"Why me? Why can't you do it?"

"You may not love him but I know damn well that he loves you."

"But Jace I- I just- I can't-"

"Can't what?"

…

…

"Magnus?"

*quietly* "I just don't want to hurt him like that."

*present time*

Magnus pulls off the road and quickly pulls out a blindfold. Seeing it, Alec's go wide.

"May I?" Magnus asks, turning towards Alec and holding up the smooth black fabric. Alec, in response, closes his eyes and turns away from him. Magnus has to fight back tears at the amount of complete trust that Alec has in him.

As soon as the blindfold is on, Magnus turns to face forward again. Alec, sensing Magnus is done, does the same before saying, "So, where are we going?"

"You don't want me to ruin the surprise now, do you?" He responds smoothly, refusing to let Alec hear the guilt in his voice. They lapse into silence as Magnus drives the rest of the way. When they get there, Magnus parks in front of the decrepit building and tells Alec to stay put. He walks around the front of his 1949 Mercury Customized Convertible to open the door for Alec and help him out of his seat. Walking him carefully up the walkway, Magnus takes a deep breath.

"Okay Alec, you can take of your blindfold."

A/N: I know, a cliffhanger! Please don't hate me, I'm not trying to be mea,n I SWEAR, I'm just busy with my HP fanfic and I have to learn a bunch of new crap on my guitar and it SUCKS so this is the product of that. Like last time, 5 reviews for another chapter by Friday.
