Clary wasn't sure what she expected when she met Magnus Bane. An all-powerful warlock yes but a make-up loving and flamboyant man not so much. She half expected that he would be attached to the magic lamp which she had to rub and get granted three wishes like the Genie from Aladdin, when she was younger she would always tease her brother that it was how he was going to end up once he learnt everything about his magic.

"Magnus Bane, so you are the one who stole my memories" She said when they approached the warlock, she didn't have time to waste. She had to get her memories back and get her brother and mother back from Valentine.

"Only at your mother's request, I warned her of the risk when she came to me. Now show me the jewellery shadowhunter" Magnus replied looking over at Jace who pulled the necklace from his jacket pocket and showed Magnus. Magnus hand shot out trying to grab the necklace from blonde haired boy, Jace quickly pulled his hand out of reach.

"First give Clary back her memories. Then you can have the necklace" Jace said, this reminded Magnus of every reason he hated shadowhunters.

"I have to confirm its authenticity. I'm not going to help you if the necklace is a fake" Magnus said. Jace swore under his breath before dropping the necklace into Magnus' awaiting hand. Magnus turned the necklace over revealing AMOR engraved into the back. "Amor verus numquam mortiur 'True Love cannot die' Oh, how I've missed this jewel".

"Now, it's your turn to pay up" Clary demanded but in returned she received a sheepish look from Magnus which made her blood boil.

"I wish I could retrieve your memories, but I no long have them" Magnus confessed before adding "I fed them to a memory demon for safekeeping to protect Clary and the Cup. If Valentine ever captured me, he could torture Clary's memories out of me. Now Clary Fairchild I will offer you this come with me and my lair can offer you protection no Shadowhunter ever could".

"No, I'm not going anywhere with you" Clary said taking a step back, she couldn't give up the search for her mother. She couldn't abandon her brother.

"Don't be a fool. Your mother would want you to live and so would your brother" Magnus said as he created a portal leading to his lair. To Alexander.

"My brother?" Clary said confusion laced her voice, she had that dream over and over again and she never saw Alec, she had assumed that Alec had never met Magnus because of being a warlock. Her mother probably wanted to keep Alec as far away from other Warlocks and the shadowworld as possible.

"Yes, Alexander is…" Magnus started before being interrupted by a woman shouting to look out. Isabelle came charging over whip in hand followed by Simon who had protested that he had to come along with them to keep Clary safe. A man holding a seraph blade charged at Isabelle who threw her whip at the circle member leg and pulled him to the floor before he could recover Izzy grabbed the seraph blade the circle member had dropped and plunged it through his chest.

"Valentine has found us; I warned your mother this might happen" Magnus said before disappearing through the portal. Clary didn't hesitate as she ran after Magnus disappearing through the portal before it closed followed by Jace, Simon and Izzy.
