Magnus and Alec had decided they should start with Jinx's training as soon as possible. The little girl was still upset and a bit shaken up about everything that had happened at the questioning, but she needed to learn how to control her powers before something bad happened. They were hesitant at the thought. Jinx was just a little girl who needed love and protection. She shouldn't be worried about being chased by demons, or ghosts in her mirror, or being scared of people. She should be watching Disney movies, dancing happily around the living room, and just being a normal happy girl. It pained them to have to train Jinx at such young age.

After she had teleported them from the Institute to their house, Jinx had collapsed. After figuring out what had happened, Alec had freaked out at seeing his daughter unconscious. Magnus had reassured him she was just exhausted. Opening a portal was something warlocks could not control at such an early age. They usually spent years practicing the spells and even centuries before they could use it to transport more than one person. The fact that Jinx had been able to do it so early in her life and been able to teleport the three of them safely at their house showed how powerful Jinx was. They knew it meant she would have to grow up much faster than she should once she started training, but there was no way around it. It needed to be done or everything would just get more complicated.

However, things were not being easy with Jinx. She didn't want to train, scared of what would happen. She had always been afraid of using her powers ever since she discovered them. Nothing good happened when she used them, and she didn't want hurt anyone, especially not Alec or Magnus. She would cry for hours when they told her it was time to train. She would finally agree to do it once Alec promised to be there to protect her. Jinx knew Magnus could do magic like her, and she wanted to be control it like he could. But Alec's work was to defend the world from the monsters that hunter her. She needed to feel his protection.

Two days after the questioning at the Institute, Jinx found herself sitting in front of the TV on the living room watching some cartoons while cuddling with Chairman Meow. Magnus was getting ready for their training together. Every day before training he had to transform his study into a training center with a lot of protection spells so Jinx's powers wouldn't affect anything or anyone in the building.

Jinx jumped in her seat in fright as someone banged at the door. She held Chairman Meow tightly against her chest and stared at the door with wide eyes. The banging continued and someone was screaming on the other side, which scared her even more. She was about to call for Alec and Magnus when the door burst open and someone walked inside.

Jace walked inside Alec's house as soon as he noticed the door was open. And emergency call had come through, apparently some demons had decided to come out in the light and terrorize some kid's school. The Shadowhunter stopped right in front of the door when he heard a high-pitched scream coming from the living room. He turned around instantly, ready to fight whatever was in there, when he noticed it was only Jinx hugging Magnus's cat tightly against her chest.

"Hey kid" Jace said walking towards her but Jinx took a step backwards "What's your problem? It's only me-"

Jace extended his hand towards Jinx, trying to touch the top of her hair but she screamed once more in complete terror. Suddenly the lights started to flicker and Jace was thrown against the wall on the other side of the room. He groaned as he collided against the wall, slipping to the floor and having his air knocked out.

Suddenly Magnus and Alec ran into the room hearing Jinx's screams. Alec had a seraph blade in his arms, ready to attack whoever was hurting his daughter. Magnus had small flames dancing on his hands, but he soon rushed towards Jinx who was now crying on the floor. Chairman Meow took his chance to escape as soon as Magnus approached them. The warlock took his daughter in his arms and started to hush her, trying to calm her down.

"Jace!" Alec exclaimed as soon as his parabatai stood up "By the angel, what happened here?!"

"I don't know!" Jace snapped "The little frea-"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence!" Magnus snapped at Jace

"Whatever" Jace rolled his eyes "She freaked out and threw me against the wall…I thought you were training her?"

"We are!" Alec rolled his eyes putting his seraph blade away "You shouldn't have barged in without knocking"

"I knocked!" Jace exclaimed "But you didn't answer…so I walked in"

"Well you scared her!" Alec snapped with a frown

"She's traumatized enough with having to see your face, don't make it worse" Magnus frowned, hugging Jinx tightly against his chest

"Oh ha ha" Jace rolled his eyes at the warlock "Anyways…Alec we have to go"

"What? Why?" Alec frowned

"Emergency call" Jace shrugged "So suit up, take your arch, and let's go!"

"I can't leave" Alec said looking between his husband and daughter and his brother "Jinx's training is about to start"

"Magnus can train her" Jace said with a wave of his hand

"She needs me here, Jace" Alec tried to explain

"Dude, we need you to fight" Jace answered "You'll be back soon…"

Alec hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Magnus desperately. The warlock just rolled his eyes, but nodded. Alec smiled gently at his husband and rushed towards their room to put on his gear.

As he rushed back out and ready to leave with Jace, Jinx ran towards him and wrapped her arms around his legs.

"Please don't go" She mumbled against him.

"I won't be gone for long" Alec answered gently, kneeling in front of her and wrapping his arms around her to hug her

"But you promised to be here when I trained" She cried

"I'll be back as soon as I can" Alec promised now "I'm sorry I can't be here…but nothing is going to happen to you. You have Daddy with you"

"What if the monsters come back?" She asked fearfully

"then Daddy with fight them off" Alec said "I'm not the only one who can fight them…plus, I'll be fighting some monsters now so they don't hurt anyone else"

"Will you come back for dinner?" she asked pulling herself away from him

"I promise"

Jinx nodded softly and then ran towards Magnus. She eyed Jace carefully, trying to decide if she should trust him or not. After everything that had happened, she didn't want to be with anyone else than her parents.

"I'll be back as soon as I can" Alec said to Magnus as he approached them

"Please be careful" Magnus pleaded

"I will" Alec promised with a smile. He then leaned in to kiss Magnus's lips softly and kissed Jinx's forehead.

"Enough family-time" Jace rolled his eyes "We have to leave NOW!"

"I'm going! I'm going!" Alec rolled his eyes and then left with one final smile towards his family.

Alec didn't come back for dinner. In fact, he came back many hours later. He had managed to text Magnus earlier telling him he would not make it for dinner. Apparently, the demons at the school had leaded them towards a nest in the outsides of New York. They had to go there and get rid of it before any of those demons attacked the city again.

But now Alec was finally home and he could get some rest. He felt guilty for not coming for dinner. He knew Jinx would be upset and he would make sure to apologize and make it up for her in the morning. But now, he just needed to take a shower and then go to bed, curled up against Magnus.

He pushed the door open with his key and stepped inside the house as quietly as he could. He closed the door and turned towards the hallway that leads to the rooms. He stopped mid-track when he saw the figure of his daughter curled up in a ball on Chairman's bed on the door that lead towards the living room. The cat was curled up just next to her, but he opened his eyes when he noticed Alec's presence. Chairman stood up, stretched with a loud yawn, and then moved towards Alec and started to purr and rub against his legs.

Alec chuckled and leaned down to stroke the cat behind his ears.

"Go get Magnus" Alec whispered to the cat.

As if Chairman could understand him, the cat walked away from Alec and down the hallway towards Magnus's and Alec's room. A couple of minutes later, Magnus stumbled into the room looking obviously sleepy. Alec had moved closer to Jinx, but didn't dare to touch her because he was still filled with dirt and demon ichor.

"Alec?" Magnus asked huskily "What's going on?"

"I just came" Alec whispered "And found Jinx sleeping next to the Chairman"

"What is she doing here?" Magnus frowned "I put her in bed just after dinner"

"She probably moved here to wait for me when you were already asleep" Alec shrugged "I'm sorry for waking you, but I still have ichor all over me. Could you carry her to her room?"

"Yes, of course" Magnus nodded and bent down to carry Jinx.

Once he was done, Magnus walked back to his room and noticed Alec was now taking a shower. Magnus yawned and moved under the covers of their bed. He had just started to fall asleep, when he felt the bed move and suddenly Alec was next to him.

"How are you?" Magnus mumbled as he wrapped his arms around Alec's waist to bring him closer "Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine" Alec told him "Just go to sleep…we'll talk in the morning"

"Mm kay…love you"

So PhantomxK and me decided to make something! It has been really hard for us to update quickly, mostly because PhantomxK is in college and I'm on my Senior year! so we've come to an agreement. We'll update this fanfiction every Friday. That way you'll have a new chapter each week, and we'll be more relaxed about everything! So it's a win-win situation ;)
