Bliss' POV
Alec and I separated and I went to my room to get ready. I showered quickly and changed into a pair of torn black skinny jeans, knee high 7" heeled boots, a black crop top and my new black shadowhunter leather suede jacket. I put on my sapphire Sensor necklace, stuck my stele in one of the thigh holes in my jeans, put on my weapons belt and headed to the weapons room. Inside I found Alec, dressed in black skinny jeans and combat boots paired with a gray t-shirt and his favorite sleeveless vest. He's stacking up on weapons. I jog silently and wrap my arms around his torso kissing him shortly. He responds by kissing me fiercely and caresses my cheek with one palm, while the other is pulling me closer. I run my hands through his hair.
"Weapons?" I ask pulling away gently.
"Yep, I don't think we'll need a lot."
I load myself with a few daggers in my boots, I put on my weapons belt and stick two Seraph Blades in it and a couple more daggers, I then swing my bow and quiver of arrows and smile. Alec chooses the same weapons as me and we both make our own way out of the Institute.
"Where are you two going?" Hodge asks as we pass the library.
"Meeting Clary and Jace at Taki's."
"Good. What about Isabelle and that mundane, Sheldon was his name?"
"I think his name's Simon," I mumble. "I think we'll meet Izzy there as well but I don't know about Simon," Alec fills in for me.
Alec and I make our way outside and to the subway. As we enter the train Alec wraps his hand around me and pulls me close to him, weaving us between the crowds. My bow is pressing against my back, as well as my Seraph Blades. Suddenly the train starts and I notice how the mundanes grab for bars and chairs. Alec and I keep our ground and hold on to each other. He takes my hand gently and holds me close.
Soon we get off the train and Alec and I make our way to Taki's. Suddenly my phone goes off.
"It's Izzy."
"Hello, Izzy. What's up?"
"Nothing much. I'm going to pick the mundie up, then I'll see you, guys, at Taki's. How's my dear brother?"
"Which one?" I ask eyeing Alec.
"Alec."
"Oh, he's good. We're headed to Taki's right now."
"Did you have sex with him last night?"
"I...uh...we...ummm...did?"
"That's what I thought. I'll see you later."
"Oh, Isabelle!"
"What?"
"Not. A. Word. Got that?"
"Yep. Your secret's safe with me."
"Bye, Izzy."
"Bye, Bliss."
I hit the end button on my iPhone and turned to Alec. Alec's eyes were a little expectant and he eyed my iPhone curiously.
"Izzy?" he asked as we walked closer to Taki's.
"Who else?"
"What did she want?" he asked smirking mischievously.
I huffed a little in response and slapped his arm.
"By the Angel, Alec, it's not what you think!"
"Ah, but you don't know what I think. So, what did she want?"
"She wanted to tell me that she went to pick the mundane, Simon, up and bring him along to Taki's."
"Why? By the Angel, the mundie doesn't need to know everything about our world!"
"Maybe he knows enough, that we have to keep an eye on him. Or maybe it's because of Izzy. I mean, no offense, but your sister's very attractive."
"You're such a pervert!" Alec retorted hugging me lightly and brushing some flyaway strands of hair.
"Am not! She also wanted to know how are you."
"How nice of her!" Alec joked as we rounded the block to Taki's. We saw Clary and Jace standing at the door. Clary's fiery hair was flying around her head like a fire halo, swaying from the wind and Jace was running his hand through his golden halo.
"Hey, Clary! Hey, Jace!" I yelled waving as we approached.
"Hey, Bliss. Hi, Alec," Clary answered smiling at me and nodding slightly towards Alec.
"Hello, lovebirds. Did you miss me?" Jace asked cockily causing Clary to lightly slap his arm.
"Jace! You're too self-confident!" she retorted and turned to look at Alec and me.
"I knew it! At least somebody has to agree with Izzy and I."
"Hey, Jace," Alec said and the parabatai clasped hands. "Hello," he added nodding slightly towards Clary. I huffed a little. I mean I know they don't really like each other, but they don't have to act like they're going to break each other's necks.
"Shall we?" I asked as we moved forward towards the kelpie bouncer.
"Of course, c'mon, Clary."
We all showed our runes to the kelpie and he didn't really take notice of Clary. Taki's isn't something great from the outside, and the inside matches. It's very simple, but comfy enough. Old, but full of life. I can find a thousand different reasons why I like it. Our usual booth was a little in the back and we took a seat. Clary sat across from Jace, Alec next to him, and I sat next to Alec.
"So," Jace started to break the silence as Kaelie brought the menus, "where's Izzy?"
"Went to pick the mundane, guess he couldn't stay away from Izzy," Alec answered halfheartedly.
"Okay, so what did the Brothers say?" I asked curiously.
"They didn't know how to break the block but we got a name."
At the same time Izzy entered followed by the mundie, she was wearing black torn skinny jeans, a green tank top with lace and a black leather jacket. Her hair was swiped up in a half-twist and she had a golden tote. She had on red lipstick and mascara, cat-like eyeliner and smokey eyes. Her scent was a very sweet vanilla-like one.
"What's the name?" she asked in her singsong voice.
"Know what you're having?" Kaelie Whitewillow, the faerie waitress asked as she came by our table fluttering her eyelashes slightly at Jace.
Clary ordered coconut pancakes and black coffee, Simon ordered just black coffee, Jace had his usual, as well as Alec, Iz had the plum rose smoothie and I had my usual-fries and rose and berries smoothie.
"So what's the name? In Clary's head?" Izzy asked curiously.
"It's Magn-" Jace started but Alec punched his arm none too lightly and said.
"Don't. No downworlder has to know about our little investigation," he said shrugging.
"Investigation?" Izzy asked incredulously. "Maybe we should get code names."
Kaelie brought our food and we all savored our delicious meal. Clary murmured as she got a taste of the coconut pancakes.
"What is the name anyway?" I asked slightly annoyed.
"Well, I didn't get to finish it. It's Magnus Bane," he said triumphantly looking at Alec who glared.
"I've got a party invite to his all too famous party tonight," Izzy added grinning.
