I've returned! I just came back from a trip and I was fanfiction free for four days. Other than seeing all the museums and monuments and art, I was dying on the inside. Now I am returning to give you all some more whump, Clace and Malec. Hope you enjoy the new chapter.


Raphael entered the waiting room of the Hotel Dumort, carrying a silver tray full of empty tea cups and two teapots. One full of coffee and one full of tea, with small bowls full of honey, sugar, milk and cream. Raphael walked inside to see Alec, Clary, Izzy and Simon. They were all sitting and looking completely scared out of their minds. Alec looked the most scared out of them all. He was tapping his foot quickly. His stele was in his hand and hovering over his stamina rune. Izzy was holding his shoulder and forearm, opposite of where his stamina rune was. She was holding him comfortably and whispering calm reassurances to him

Raphael smiled at how much Izzy cared for her brother. He set down the tray of caffeinated drinks on the coffee table in front of the shadowhunters and the new daylighter. "You should have some tea." Raphael said to Alec, noticing how tense and tired he looked. "It'll give you a spike in blood sugar. And we both know that Magnus would kill us both if you passed out because of him."

Alec sighed and nodded. He took a cup from Raphael's tray and he allowed the head vampire to pour him some tea. Izzy took her own cup and poured honey into her's and Alec's cup. "Is everything okay with Jace and Magnus?" Clary asked as Raphael passed her a cup and poured her some coffee.

"My vampire's are checking on them both right now." he said giving the young Fairchild a nod. "I'm sure that they should be-"

Raphael was cut off when one of his vampire's ran up to him with they're acquired speed. She whispered into Raphael's ear quickly before walking back from where she came. Raphael turned to them and he gave a weak smile. "Jace is okay." he said. "My vampire's tell me that he's cold from the water. He wasn't hurt from the kidnapping, but from jumping in the water he hurt his left wrist. He just used a rune so he should be fine."

"Oh thank the angel." Clary gasped, setting down her cup of coffee. Clary looked over at Alec and she weakly smiled. "Can we see him?"

"Give him a couple of moments. He went to visit Magnus."

Alec stood up immediately, but Izzy held him steady a bit. Simon asked what he was thinking instead. "Why would Jace need to visit him? Is he... is he hurt? Is Magnus okay?"

Raphael sighed. "My vampire's say that his chest and back is covered in electrical burns. And not only that, but right collarbone is broken from he dropped into the water and his ankle that was shackled is sprained. With his magic being stripped from him for so long, it'll take a while before he can magically heal. For now, we'll just have to heal the mundane way."

Alec gulped. He gripped his hands into fists, feeling fury that his boyfriend was hurt. Jace was lucky. Jace was a shadowhunter. He could heal with runes. Just the swipe of a stele and he would be healed. But Magnus was a warlock. A warlock that was stripped of his magic for hours while he was tortured by Valentine. He couldn't bare runes. He would have to deal with the pain. "Is that... is that all?" Alec asked, his chest becoming tight.

"No." Raphael said, sighing. "Magnus got sick from the water going inside his lungs and going down the water. He'll be coughing and sneezing and being cold for a few weeks. But he'll make a full recovery. Jace said that he wanted some time with Magnus, so maybe he would just give him a few moments."

Alec nodded, leaning to rest his head on Izzy's shoulder. Clary stood up and he walked over to Alec. Alec pulled her into a hug as soon as she sat beside him. Clary rubbed the back of his neck and hair in calm comfort. "They'll be alright." she whispered in a calm comfort and state of mind. "They'll be fine."

Alec nodded into the crook of her neck while trying to keep his tears inside. Jace might have been okay, but Magnus wasn't. Raphael smiled and nodded at them. "I'll go and check on him." he said. "I'll be right back."

Alec, Clary, Izzy and Simon watched as Raphael slowly walked out of their lobby/waiting room and probably towards the room where Magnus was. Alec sighed and he moved back into Clary's clam and caring hug. All he could think about was Magnus. His precious boyfriend was hurt terribly in the kidnapping. Poor, poor Magnus. Poor Magnus was burned. He was sick. He was hurt. Magnus was hurt. Clary moved forward and she cupped Alec's chin into her hands. "Don't cry Alec... we saved him. We saved them." she said.

"Thank you Clary." he said, nodding. "Thank you."


Jace had pushed the vampire's off of him irritably as he took a seat near Magnus' bed. They were trying to give him hot tea, blankets, medicine and whatever else he would need. But Jace refused to take any of their medicines or gifts. He just wanted to make sure that Magnus was okay. Jace sat in comfortable velvet chair, watching as the vampire's slowly rubbed some magical potions and creams onto Magnus' bare chest and burns.

The electrical burns were marring his skin and they were completely red to the touch. Raphael watched as the vampire's slowly rubbed a white magically cream onto his burns. Magnus was gripping the blanket's under him hard, biting the bottom of his lip as angry, hot tears fell out of his tightly closed eyes. His injured ankle had already been wrapped tightly. Jace hated when things had to be done the mundane way. But for Magnus, he couldn't use a rune. And his magic was slowly rebuilding inside of him. Jace wanted to push everyone away from him and calm him down. But he knew that he couldn't, because he needed to heal. All the pain he was going through would be over soon because he would be healed soon.

"Stop." Raphael said, making the vampire's stop immediately. The moved away from Magnus and allowed Raphael to walk over to him. Jace stood up from his chair and walked up to Magnus as well. Magnus loosened his tightness around the blankets around him and he shook his head over the pillows under his head. "Magnus, I'm so sorry. I know that it hurts." Raphael whispered, rubbing his friend's forehead and cheek. "You just need to let us heal you. You need to let us help you."

"Isn't there any kind of sedative you can give him?" Jace asked, taking Magnus' shaking and trembling hand in his. "You have to have some kind of warlock sedative here in the Durmort."

"We don't." responded Raphael, taking out his pocket square and wiping away Magnus' thick drops of sweat. "We only have mundane sedatives, and they won't work on him. They'll just run right through his system."

"There has to be something that we can give him. He can't heal himself... so there must be some kind of warlock that he knows that can heal him. There has to be someone!"

"No one that's alive or around!" Raphael yelled. "Catarina Loss had to go off to Peru for warlock business and unforunately no one else knows what they're doing to help him."

Magnus groaned in pain, stopping the two. More angry pained tears fell from his face along with thick droplets of sweat. Jace gripped his hand tighter and he rubbed the back of his palm. "Magnus hang on." Jace whispered. "Alec is here. Alec will be here soon."

"Alec...Alexander..." Magnus whispered, wincing from his broken collarbone. "Alec...Alexander knows... he k-knows-"

Raphael looked over at Jace with worry in his eyes. "Alec practically lives with Magnus. He knows where Magnus keeps his potions. Magnus will have something to help himself." he said.

"I'll go and get the-" Jace broke out into a small fit of coughs, shivering.

Raphael sighed and shook his head. "No. You're just as sick as Magnus is right now. You should stay here for until your runes fully heal you from the cold."

"Then let me go tell Alec and Clary." Jace said. "They could go to Magnus' loft and get him something to help him."

Raphael nodded and he looked back at Magnus. "Until they come back, we might have to tie him down."

"What?!" Jace hollered, scaring all of the vampire's inside out of the room. "You want to tie him down? After he and I were just kidnapped by Valentine? After he was just tortured? You want to tie him down?!"

Magnus groaned from the broken collarbone. Jace and Raphael looked back down at him and they rubbed his hands and cheeks. "I know querido amigo. I know. I know it hurts."

"I'll go tell Alec." Jace said, letting Magnus' hand go. "And if I come back and he's tied down to this bed... I swear I will kill you."

Jace walked out of the room and left Magnus and Raphael alone. Raphael looked back down on Magnus. He was crying, gripping the blankets under him again. Raphael sighed and took Jace's seat, rubbing the back of Magnus' hand. "I'm so sorry Magnus..."

"J-Jace..." he whispered, shutting his eyes tightly closed. "Jace-Jace..."

"Jace is alright, eres un brujo desinteresado." Raphael said, smiling a bit at how much Magnus cared for his friends and almost family. "He's coming back. He'll be back in a minute."

"I'm sorry Raphael... I've never had a broken bone for this long." he said, biting his lip so hard that it started to slowly bleed. "I don't mean to bother you or your vampire's."

"You're like a second dad to me Magnus. You'll never be a burden to me. And my vampire's will just have to deal with me."

Magnus smiled before coughing. Raphael knew that it would hurt because the bone was so close to Magnus' chest and lungs. Magnus leaned back into the pillow's again once the larger than average cough subsided. He groaned from the pain in his collarbone again. Raphael held his hand tighter and he started to tell reassurance's to his friend.


Jace left the bedroom where Magnus was and he slowly walked over to the lobby of the Hotel Durmort. Sure enough, there was his family and friends. Alec looked up first, obviously feeling his parabatai bond flare up. "Jace..." Alec gasped, letting go of Clary.

The two seemed to be hugging, which made Jace smile just a bit. Alec had previously been an ass to everyone. To Clary. To him. To Izzy. To Meliorn. To basically everyone. He was so glad that he was trying to change how he acted. Especially around Clary. Alec stood up from the couch and he pulled his parabatai and his brother into a tight hug. Jace hugged him back, holding back a cough that his body wanted to push out. Izzy and Clary stood up next, moving to give Jace a hug as well. Simon stayed in his seat, knowing that he and Jace weren't exactly on good terms considering that Simon had date Clary for a sort amount of time, before the Seelie Queen ruined everything.

Once Jace let Izzy and Clary go he looked over at Alec. "Alec..." Jace said, brushing his hair out of his face. He broke out into a small amount of coughing. Alec patted his back as he did. Jace finished his cough and he looked up. "Alec, it's Magnus."

"I know." Alec said. "Raphael said that Magnus is a little sick and that his collarbone is broken. You don't have to sugar coat it from me Jace. I know that he's hurt."

"Alec, you need to go to Magnus' loft." Jace said, holding his shoulders from how cold he was.

"What do you mean?" Alec asked, looking out at the hall where Jace and Raphael had both emerged.

"What's the matter with Magnus?" Simon asked, standing up now.

"He's magic was cut off for hours because of the damned collar that Valentine put on him." Jace explained. "He can't connect to his magic, which means that he can't heal himself. He's suffering from the pain in the mundane way."

"I need to see him." Alec said, moving over to push through his parabatai. Jace slowly pushed him back. "No, Jace. He's hurt. He needs me."

"No Alec. He needs a painkiller. A sedative." Jace said.

"What do you mean?" Simon asked. "I know that Raphael has plenty of potions here at the Durmort. Doesn't he have anything to give Magnus?"

"No. He only has mundane painkillers and sedatives and they won't work on Magnus because he's a warlock."

Izzy nodded, understanding. "I get it." she said. "That's why you need to go to Magnus' loft. Because he'll have something."

Jace nodded. Clary looked over at Alec. "Let me come with you." she said. "Maybe I'll be able to... recognize something that Magnus needs. Something that I've seen before but my mom blocked out from me."

Alec nodded. "Then come on." he said, before looking back at Jace. "Jace is he... is he in pain?"

Jace nodded, shaking his head. "I'm sorry. He can barely think from the pain in his collarbone."

"Stay with him for me." Alec looked back at Izzy and Simon. "Can you both stay with him as well?"

"Anything big brother." Izzy said, nodding with rubbing her snake whip.

"We'll stay with Magnus." Simon said, placing his pale hand on Izzy's shoulder.

Alec looked back at Jace. "Stay with him. I'll be right back."

"I know you will."

Alec looked over at Clary and gave her a weak smile. "Come on. We should hurry up."

Clary nodded and she followed Alec towards the exit of the Hotel Durmort.
