Clary tried her best to avoid Jace when she went to the Institute the next week, but it didn't really work out. As soon as she walked into the training room, she saw Jace and Isabelle talking. She wanted to know what they were talking about, but she didn't want to be rude, so she turned around and decided to get a snack before she started training.

Jace woke up early and went straight to the training room. After and hour, he heard the door open, so he turned around and saw Isabelle strutting in the room. "I need to talk to you," she said when she was standing right in front of him, preventing him from throwing his sword at the dummy.

"About what?"

"Clary. Look, I know that things have been tense between the two of you since you found out the truth about each other, but that doesn't change how you feel. Clary may have trouble understanding that there were secrets between you two, but she does love you."

"And I love her. But we have the past year together and now she wants to start over. I don't want to. I want to stay where we are and move forward knowing that we can. And she's doubting my love for her. She doesn't realize that I love her so much and that nothing could change that. How can I make her see?"

"Before I help you, I want you to know that I am doing this for Clary. She has been through a lot and I hate seeing her like this. She was the happiest when she was with you and I want to see her like that again. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

As Isabelle began to give him help, they didn't even hear the door open, then close again a few seconds later.

As Clary ate her apple, in the kitchen she heard a meow. She looked down by her feet and smiled when she saw Church. "Hey Church. Did you want food?"

He meowed again and Clary got him a bowl of cat food and set it on the floor. "You're going to get that cat fat and uglier. Unlike Chairman Meow who could never be either of those things."

"Hey Magnus," she said as she hugged the tall warlock. "What are you doing here?"

"Well I did make a breakfast date with Alexander, but it seems that he is sleeping."

"Yeah, he's been sleeping in a lot. But then Izzy says that he's been getting home a lot later than usual. You wouldn't happen to know what that's about, would you?" They both laughed and Clary took another bite of her apple.

"He just doesn't know how to energize himself without those silly things you guys call runes."

"You make them sound like they do nothing. When in fact they help us fight demons who are after innocent mundanes."

"I think I am going to wake up Alec before we get into an argument."

"Are you afraid of a girl, Bane?"

"I'm just protecting you sweetheart." Before Magnus walked out of the kitchen, Jace came in and looked confused.

As soon as Jace stepped into the kitchen, he heard a man call Clary 'sweetheart'. He saw the Asian man turn around and saw the glitter on his face. "Jace," Clary began, "I would like you to meet Magnus Bane, High Warlock of Brooklyn."

Jace shook the man's hand. "Jace Herondale."

"Ah, Herondale. I knew your ansestor, Will and his wife Tessa. It's a shame that you're the last of that bloodline. They were good people." Magnus turned to Clary and said, "See you later darling. It might get loud. It takes a lot to wake him up." He nodded at Jace and left the room.

"How do you know him?"

"It's a long story, but right now he's here to get Alec so they could go on their date."

"So that's the warlock that's Alec's boyfriend."

"Yup. They don't look it, but they are really cute together. You know, if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't have even met. So in a sense, I set them up. And now I plan to set Isabelle up with Simon."

"Simon?"

"Yeah, I don't like that faerie guy she was seeing."

"Wait Simon knows about Shadowhunters?"

"Yeah. He's a vampire. Of course he know about Shadowhunters."

"So how old is he?"

"Seventeen. He was changed last year after one of Magnus's parties. I told him about us when we were 15 and when we were 16, he decided to meet Magnus."

"So how do you know Magnus? And how can Simon walk in the sun light?"

"Like I said, it's a long story, for both of them. And I have to train so I don't have time."

"How about you tell me about it over dinner tonight."

"What?" This caught Clary by surprise.

"Will you go out with me tonight?"

"I... I guess."

She threw her apple core in the trash, but before she could walk out, he lightly grabbed her arm. "One more question." When she nodded, he asked, "Why did you only find out that you were a Shadowhunter when you were 10?"

"I'll tell you at dinner." She tried to walk away when he planted a quick kiss on her cheek. She smiled and he release her arm. "I'll see you later, Jace."
