This is the last and final chapter of the story. Maybe I will write a sequel to this story (if you like) or maybe just one-shots? Enjoy and please comment what you think.

Epilogue
The next morning Ashley was over flowing with excitement and nerves. She took a quick shower, ate some breakfast and waited to the others to finish up and join her on the roof.
She was flying round for a bit until Magnus showed up with his outfit looking top. Arthur and Alec joined them a few seconds later. Ashley landed in a crouch and smiled at the Lightwood-Bane family.
"Ready?" Arthur asked and Ash nodded.
"Think about your room," Magnus said before summoning the portal.
Ash thought of her room back in her universe, where her bed stood, her dresser and her desk. Once her room was visualized in her head she stepped through the portal and the others followed soon after.
They tumbled out of the portal and landed on each other in a dark room. Everyone grunted and unfortunately Ashley was at the bottom. Luckily her wings were strong enough to keep most of the men's weight off of her.
"That was one wild portal," Magnus replied and got up.
"Yeah, let's hope your hair still has all its glory," Ash replied and smirked when Magnus gasped in outrage.
Arthur and Alec drew their weapons and Magnus and Ash summoned a fire ball when the lights suddenly switched on.
In the doorway Ash saw Ryan standing there with a shocked expression on his face while holding a baseball bat and wearing only his pajama pants.
Ashley extinguished her flame and ran into her brother's arms.
"Ryan! I missed you so much!" she said and hugged him tight.
Ryan looked down in shock and dropped his bat.
"Ashley?" he whispered before hugging her back. "I missed you too."
They broke apart when they heard someone clear their throat behind them. Her companions disarmed themselves before looking uncomfortable… except for Magnus. He was not so subtly checking out Ash's brother.
"What a sight!" he declared and Alec looked at him as if he was just betrayed.
"Don't you dare!" Ashley threatened with her eyes flashing red. Alec huffed and crossed his arms.
Magnus turned to Alec and kissed him lightly before saying, "Don't worry, honey. You are still more gorgeous than him." Then he turned to Ryan before saying,"No offence."
Ryan shook his head before asking, "Sorry but who are you again?"
"Oh! Right! Ryan, this is Magnus, Alec and Arthur," she said while showing to each of them. "Guys, this is my brother Ryan."
They all shook hands before Ryan realized that he was half naked.
"Sorry for my appearance. I didn't know I would have company at five in the morning," Ryan said with a blush.
"No worries. Sorry for dropping in unannounced," Arthur replied.
"Are the Triplets here?" Ashley asked.
"Unfortunately so," said Ryan with a sigh.
"Go on. Get dressed. Meet us in the kitchen," Ashley said and Ryan nodded before disappearing down the hallway.
Ashley then turned to the Lightwood-Banes. "Let me show you around the house," she suggested and her companions nodded.
She showed them the dining room, the library and then finished with the kitchen where they were met by the Triplets taunting Ryan.
"Oh come on, small fry," said Diego while stepping closer to Ryan that was trapped between the counter and the fridge.
"Yeah. Come on. We need it more than you do," Peter said in an innocent voice.
"I will not give you what you want!" Ryan said with determination.
"What is going on here?!" Ashley asked with rage.
Shock ran through the Triplets' faces before they smiled sweetly at her.
"Goldilocks, bringing home strays are we?" Logan said while looking at the three men behind her.
"How dare y–" Arthur began to say but Ashley held up her hand to show him to stop talking.
"I will handle this, Arty. Thank you," she said and turned back to her brothers.
"Ashley, No! Whatever you are thinking of doing, don't do it!" Ryan said just as Diego pinned him to the wall.
"Shut up!" Diego snarled.
"You three are assholes," Ashley began saying while ignoring her brother.
Before either of the Triplets could speak she continued. "You can't have everything you want so you take your anger out on someone else! For years you used me as a punching bag and a kid you can pick on because I was not your real sister, right?"
"But you're not!" Peter complained but he shut up when her eyes flashed red.
"I DID NOT ASK FOR YOUR OPINION!" she yelled and stepped closer.
"Let me make myself clear," she said softly. "If you hurt me or Ryan EVER again in ANY way, you will be sorry!" she glared at them and could see that they were taken aback.
Logan stepped forward with a smirk on his face. 'Ah,' Ash thought. 'The brave one.'
"What are you going to do, Goldie?" he sneered.
Ashley gave her own smirk. "Do something to me and find out," she challenged.
She could see out of the corner of her eye that the Shadowhunters stepped to the side to watch the scene unfold.
Logan chuckled before launching at her. Ash dodged his attack and punched him in the gut.
Peter and Diego decided to advance on her at the same time in the hopes of getting her down but they were wrong.
Ashley opened her wings and knocked them down.
"Cowards!" she said as they got up and ran from the room.
She turned to the Shadowhunters and smiled at their shocked faces before turning back to Ryan. He stared at her wings before reaching out to touch them.
"Are those real?" he asked and Ashley nodded before closing them again.
"Let me tell you where I've been these past few weeks," she said and started to tell him everything and showing the Shadowhunters the city.
After Magnus and Alec left to go back to their own universe Arthur, Ashley and Ryan enjoyed each other's company until the end of the week.
"Ryan, I wanted to ask if you wanted to come with me to their universe." Ashley asked the day before they were meant to go back.
"I can't," he replied. "I would love to go with you but I have collage to attend and Riley and I are finally dating."
"I understand," said Ash. "I will try to visit as many times as I can throughout the year."
"I will miss you," he said and hugged her tight.
"Me too," she said with tears in her eyes.
Ryan turned to Arthur. "I don't have to give you the big brother speech, right?" he asked. Arthur chuckled and shook his head.
"Take good care of her," said Ryan and Arthur nodded.
They spent the last night together watching the show of Shadowhunters. Arthur and Ashley were in outrage because of the differences of the shows and the books (in Arthur's case because of his own reality) and Ryan only laughed at them.
The next day Ashley packed her own clothes and even her Shadowhunter books so that she can share them with the rest of the characters.
After saying goodbye to Ryan a portal opened.
"Ready?" Arthur asked and held out his hand.
Ashley nodded and together they stepped through the portal.
