the Return of Rainy

"Wait," Clary said.

Rainy turned around to look at her aunt, gripping her husband's hand.

Clary hesitated. "... What does it feel like to travel through time?"

Rainy smiled at her. She was so young, so different than she would eventually be. Rainy had asked Clary this same question just before she'd left for the mission. "It feels like turning to sand, then shivering as you reassemble."

Then Rainy squeezed her husband's hand, and together, they went through the portal.

Traveling through time was exactly how Rainy had described it. Her vision was obscured by gold, and she felt as if she'd turned to sand, though she could still feel Doug's hand in her's.

Then she shivered, opening her eyes, and she was in Idris. The air smelled of a rainbow of flora, and fresh, green grass.

In the distance, Rainy could see Clary and Jace's house, where, undoubtedly, Helena would be waiting for her best friend to return.

"Home." Rainy smiled, looking at her husband.

Doug smiled, too. "Technically," he said, "home is the Institute."

"Well, our time home," Rainy clarified.

Doug looked around, smiling. It was a beautiful, clear day, and the sky was bright blue. He turned to Rainy, placing both his hands on her hips. minding her stomach- which was only a few inches out since she was only a few months pregnant.

Then he kissed her. Rainy wrapped her arms around his neck, then touched the stubble on his face with her free hand.

"I hope I'm not interrupting..." said a familiar voice.

Rainy pulled away from Doug and set eyes on someone who was standing just feet away from them. Raziel, she was sneaky. "Helena..." Rainy's arms slipped away from Doug, and a smile stretched across her face.

Helena smiled, too. "Hey, Rainy." It had only been a few years, but Helena had gotten stunningly more beautiful. She closed the distance between them, and they wrapped their arms around each other.

"Oh Raziel, I missed you so much!" Rainy said into Helena's gold curls.

"I missed you, too," said Helena. "Wait... hold on." Helena pulled back, frowning as she looked at Rainy's stomach, then her eyes widened. "What the... Your pregnant?!"

"Yep," said Doug, putting an arm around Rainy. "Hi, Helena."

"Uh, hi." Helena's eyes didn't move from Rainy's stomach. "Is... it it a-"

"It's a girl," Rainy said, smiling. "Lilly's her name."

Helena looked back up at Rainy, still shocked. "Like your cat..." she muttered. "Huh."

"So, what did I miss here? Rainy asked. "Anything exciting?"

"Um," Helena furrowed her brows, thinking. "Yeah." She looked back up at her. "I'm married."

I was gonna have Helena and Rainy become parabatai in this, but I looked it up, and the parabatai bond can only be done if you're under eighteen. Dang it! All well.

Sorry this was short, btw! I just wanted to hint at certain things. Plus, this was originally supposed to be longer.

Any more requests? I've got some more in process, but they might be a bit... well, you'll see ;)
