Jace pulled her towards the open portal. Many people had already left to go to the Institute or they had stayed to deal with the clear up.
They passed Maggie who was being cuffed by shadowhunters. The whole time she stayed focused on Lucindas body. Clary had to look away.
Across the room Alana and Zack were both being taken away. Probably back to Idris.
Jace towed her through the portal into the library where her mum quickly gathered her into a hug.
"Don't you ever do that to me again Clary. Do you understand. I love you so much and you scared me to death. I'm glad you're back. Where's Beth? Luke?"
No sooner had she asked then they appeared through the portal. Luke looking dirty and covered in blood - mostly black. And then there in his arms was Beth wrapped in a white blanket still in the same clothes she had been taken in apparently.
Jocelyn ran to them and quickly took Beth from Luke. She cradled her and constantly kissed her and Luke put an arm around her whilst looking lovingly at their daughter.
Jace led Clary to one of the unoccupied sofas and put his arm around her and kissed her temple. It helped to ease her dizziness.
Around the room there were many shadowhunters gathered and there were stretchers placed around the room ready to take the injured to the infirmary when they came through where, apparently, several warlocks and the silent brothers were waiting to treat the wounded.
Soon Magnus and Alec came through the portal. Alec had a cut down his left arm that where blood was flowing from it heavily. He dumped himself next to Clary and Jace pulled out his stele to place an iratze on his arm.
Then Alec pulled Clary into a hug.
"You're an idiot! What were you thinking?! I'm so glad you're ok."
"I have to say I agree I agree with him biscuit," added Magnus.
"I know. I know. It was stupid. But if I hadn't gone there then we wouldn't all be here now."
"Clarys right. We're all safe now. He's gone." Replied Jace.
That realisation finally hit Clary and she let out a breathe.
"He's finally gone. He's really gone. Wait! Have they got his body? It hasn't disappeared or-" clary panicked. It wasn't like he hadn't come back from the dead before!"
"Biscuit...they're burning his body as we speak. The Clave didn't want to take any chances. Iz and Simon are there now. They will be back soon."
Clary felt freer than she had ever felt. They would finally be happy.
"What happened? I mean I know what happened with Sebastian but I was a bit too distracted by all that to see what was going on around me." She asked.
"Well the demons mostly disappeared. The ones that didn't were killed. The faerie folk, once they saw that they were going to lose retreated. The Seelie Queen will probably go into hiding now that Sebastian's gone. Maggie has been taken into custody by the Clave and Alana and Zack have both been taken to the cells in Idris to await trial." Answered Jace.
"Well gang I would say that was a win for team good!" Exclaimed Isabelle from behind them.
They turned and saw Simin was with her. Simon had claw marks etched into his skin on his arms and cheeks but they would soon heal and Isabelle had a black eye - probably from Alana - and several small cuts and scratches.
She hugged Clary. "You and bump good?"
"We're fine."
Then Simon hugged her. "You know I used to read comics about battles like these and always wished I could be the hero. Now I realise that I really didn't know what I was wishing for."
Clary gave a laugh. "Well you were a hero today! We won! I don't think there will be any more battles like that at least for a while. Are you alright? Do you need blood?"
"No," he replied. "I'm fine." Simon have her a smile to show it.
Jace pulled her back down onto the sofa and Asked Magnus to check Clary over.
"All done. You are both perfectly fine. Except for exhaustion." Said Magnus. He gave her a puzzled look.
"Can I ask you a question Clary? How did you do it? How did you reverse whatever spell Sebastian had used and get inside his head? Because that takes power and I thought you had already tried and it hasn't worked."
"Well I don't know," she replied. "He was going to kill all of you and I just felt, I don't know, a surge of rage. It was like I could literally feel it. My whole body tingled. At first I didn't realise what I'd done. Not until I saw him on the floor." She placed a hand on her stomach and rubbed it in circles, looking at Jace now. "But Sebastian said that because we both have more angel blood in us that our baby would have more as well, that she would have powers. Well when I did what I did to Sebastian it felt like the power came from within me only I know I'm not that powerful. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I think mini me helped me. Maybe she sensed my emotions and helped me, I don't know but I think our power combined and that let me get into Sebastian's head."
Jace was looking wide eyed at her stomach.
"That could be true," Magnus added. "There have been accounts of women, who are pregnant with warlocks, having abilities when they are pregnant that stem from their child's powers. It makes sense actually."
A few years leaked from Clarys eyes, she gave a happy laugh and Jace kissed her.
"My niece is one powerful little lady!" Added Isabelle. "Huh, my niece! I like the sound of that."
"Same here Iz," Clary said taking her hand.
"I'm going to go see my parents. I want to make sure Beth's okay. Magnus will you come with me, to check her over?"
"Of course!" He got up and followed her to the infirmary where they would be. Sure enough Beth was laid on one of the few cots they had. She appeared to be sleeping and Jocelyn and Luke were hovering over her.
All the beds in the Institute were filled with the wounded. Other shadowhunters ran around trying to help by giving iratzes and the silent brothers were there too.
Luke and Jocelyn saw Clary coming there way and Luke took her into a hug. Magnus went to where Beth was a talked to Jocelyn whilst examining Beth.
"The amount of hugs I've had today!"
"You're my daughter. I'm allowed to hug you!" He pulled back to look at her.
"Have you been checked over yet?"
"Yes," she answered. "Me and the baby are perfectly ok. What about you?"
He gave a grin. "Nothing that won't heal!"
"How's Beth? Is she okay?" In response Luke took her hand and pulled her to Beth's cot. Magnus had finished examining her and Jocelyn was smiling and crying.
"She's fine. He didn't do anything to her."
Inside the cot Beth was awake and she was cooing. Clary leant over and held out her finger to her sister who took it.
"You don't know how worried you had me little lady. But I knew you'd be okay. Thai family is made of toughens! High five!" She held out her hand in a high five and her sister grabbed her finger again. "Well we'll have time to work on that! You get some rest pretty lady. " Clary leant down and kissed her head.
"You know,"Magnus said. "I remember you bringing Clary to me when she was just this age. It's weird. You grew up with me biscuit and you didn't even know it." He gave her a wink.
"So what happens now?" Clary asked.
