I hope you all had a happy Valentine's Day! I know that at the time I'm starting this Valentine's Day was yesterday, and by the time I finish this chapter it will be even farther past it. Well, I'm amazing at life. See, I wrote that sentence yesterday. Then I closed the tab. So I wrote two sentences of my AN and then stopped. Woooow. I'm just so awesome.

So I realize you guys are sad about Clary leaving. I get it! I'm sad about it too! She will be coming back in this chappie, I just really needed some drama to keep the story going. Pleeeease give me suggestions of what to do in your reviews! I'm currently battling a bad case of writer's block.

Clary's POV

Magnus and Alec had just left to go back to the Institute. Aella and Sophie wanted to watch the reactions of everyone to Magnus's lack of glitter, so I'd used my supervision to set up a way for us to view where everyone in the Institute was. Alec and Magnus had just entered the Institute, and so far it was awesomely hilarious.

Then Jace walked down the stairs. I was filled with a bit of sadness and anger towards him, but I'd let go of most of that anger and sadness when I'd seen Magnus and Alec again. He was just trying to protect me.

"Alec, where's Magnus?" Jace asked, a confused expression on his face."Why'd you bring back some random dude from the Angel's Court?"

I swear we all died laughing. "He actually doesn't recognize Magnus!" Aella gasped through tears of laughter.

"I cannot believe this." I giggled. The image started to flicker as I laughed so hard I lost my concentration. Immediately Sophie grabbed my arm, sending pulses of calming energy into me. I quickly concentrated again with the new strength, sending Sophie a thankful glance as the image grew stronger.

"He's just like Will." Sophie said softly under her breath. (Will Herondale? Not telling. Seriously though it must be so obvious by now.)

In the image, Alec was explaining it was Magnus and the pouty warlock was storming off to his room.

"Ooh, this'll be good." Aella said excitedly. "Ally! Come see this!"

The clothing angel came over. Aella quickly explained what we were doing, and she joined us in watching what was happening.

As Alec came into Magnus's room, the last one, he was still laughing. The others weren't laughing any longer because they were disappointed Magnus was getting sparkles. But Alec knew what was going on.

Magnus pulled a robe out of his closet.

"Let's see if your magic worked." I said, glancing at Ally. And Magnus, oh Magnus, his face was priceless when the robe faded into a black. I fell back laughing, the image completely disappearing for good this time.

"What do you say, Ally? Was it worth your energy?" Aella asked once she recovered, grinning.

"You bet. Completely worth it." Ally responded, still smiling.

I was quiet, thinking about everyone at the Institute. I missed them, but I need the training. It's necessary. The fate of the world is literally on my (winged) shoulders.

But that didn't stop me from missing them.

Time Skip 2 Weeks (because everyone needs Clary back)

Still Clary's POV

It has been two weeks since Magnus and Alec visited the first time. They'd visited twice more since then, and last time they were here we decided that I would come back and surprise everyone.

So I was hovering in midair outside the Institute, not sure what to do. Aella and Sophie had come down too. Sophie wanted to make sure I would be happy at the Institute and Aella wanted to be able to kick the ass of anyone who underestimated me. It's obvious which one is the battle angel.

"All right. How are we gonna scare the hell out of them?" Aella asked, looking over to me with a shit-eating grin.

"Hmm…" I say, pretending to think about it. Yeah right. I made this plan as soon as i got to the Angel's Court. "How about we wear masks, battle gear, etc., and do a sneak attack? Then we'll attack them, tie them up, and then we'll reveal ourselves. But we are not doing this for Coraline, Max, Mom, or Luke. Only Magnus, Alec, Jace, Simon, and Izzy. Soph?"

"Yeah?" she responded.

"Can I count on you to deal with Magnus?"

She nodded, grinning. Sophie had a special power to take away magic. She hadn't developed it much yet, but it'll be easy to deal with Magnus. It was given to her by Raziel so that she could take power from traitorous angels or demons like Sebastian. So a warlock will be simple for her.

"Ready?" I look around at Aella and Sophie. We're all in battle gear with silver silk masks that conceal our faces without giving us hell with vision.

"Let's go."

I know! Short chapter! But I felt really bad for not updating in forever. I had February break last week, and I was in New York City visiting my grandparents. So I didn't really have much time to write. Sorry! Also, just a quick sidenote, if you're obsessed with Malec, you should read some of my friend's stories. She is completely obsessed with Malec, despite my efforts to make her OTP be Clace. Her pen name is ImaLightwood-Bane. If I end up making Malec break up for a chapter or so, I did it solely to piss her off. She has the funniest reactions to things like that!
