Hi!

So I'm finally back. Yeah I know it has been longer than normal but school started and my professors decided that they all want us not to life and gave us homework and all that shit. And I also had some problems with this chapter since I wanted that thing when Alec fell into a coma but didn't know how to do it as Jace is there with them.

So with some help from my friends (Thanks!) I finally wrote something that I am happy with and here we are.

I want to thank you for all the comments and kudos you left me, it really means so much to me. THANKS!

"There is a pattern. Young, strong, highly-skilled fighters, all abducted from boxing clubs, dojos and gyms. Valentine must have realized that even with the Cup, creating Shadowhunters isn't easy. He needs mundanes who are more likely to survive the conversion. Your job is to stake out the potential targets, and catch the Circle members when they try to abduct them. If we capture a Circle member, we have a shot at Valentine. You have your orders. Dismissed." Aldertree nodded at them and walked away.

"Well this won't be easy. There are many good fighters around New York." Clary said but Izzy smirked. "Well, he never said that we can't ask for a little help." and looked at Alec who also nodded. "Yeah, Izzy is right. Some in the Clave are still a little biased against the Downworlders so they didn't think about asking them for help. Luckily for us, we aren't."

"So...I will ask Luke for some help." Clary said and when they nodded, pulled her phone out and walked a little away, for privacy. "I will go ask Simon and Raphael." Jace nodded across his shoulder even as he was walking away. "So that means that we will go start looking. Maybe Magnus knows about some good places where we can start." Alec said and texted Magnus, trying and failing to hide his blush as Izzy smirked.

A: Magnus?

M: Yes Darling *wink*

A: Valentine is kidnapping fighters. Do you know some places where we can look and try to capture the Circle members?

M: Yeah, I know about one place. Street fighting, there are some pretty good men. XXXstreet, number XX.

A: Great, thanks.

M: I hope you aren't going alone? I know how strong you are, but I will still feel better if you will have someone with you.

A: Izzy is coming with me. I have to go, Thanks Mags.

M:Anytime, darling

XXXstreet, number XX:

"He said that the best fighters from all around the city come here." Alec said while looking around himself, wiggling his nose at the smell of alphas. It wasn't pleasant and relaxing like Magnus's, rather it was making his stomach clench. "It's only a question of time before Valentine shows up." agreed Izzy glaring at some men who looked their way, their gazes stopping on her brother longer than she was happy with.

Alec nodded and winced, when one of the men in the ring, currently fighting each other, fell to the ground, hitting his head pretty hard. The other man smirked and took the money someone gave him, clearly he was the winner. "You have some moves." Izzy said when he came a little closer to them.

The man looked up and smirked when he saw them. After being done checking them out, he stepped even closer, leering first at Alec and then at Isabelle. "Yeah? How about I take you home and show you some of my moves? I don't mind both of you. The omega is cute."

He said that as if Alec wasn't even there, annoying him further. So he was one of these that think omegas are something below them. Isabelle clearly wasn't happy with him as she glared and growled at him. "That's funny. You really think you have a chance with him? Or me?" she spat out and Alec knew that her wings were puffed out, making her appear bigger.

The man glared, "Who do you think you are?" he, too, growled, but Alec almost laughed. It sounded like a puppy playing around. "I'm someone who's gonna put you down if you don't shut your mouth." she glared and motioned for him to step into the ring. "Are you sure?" Alec asked her before she too stepped inside to ring.

"Don't worry brother. I just want to show him his place." she smirked and followed the man before taking her starting stance and waiting for him to move. Alec felt sorry for him. The man looked at him and winked. Okay, so maybe he didn't.

A little while later ('Cause I don't know how to write battle scenes):

Alec had to fight his laughter at the man's wide eyed look. Izzy just flipped him over her shoulder with ease, not even breaking into a sweat as she punched him around, he being unable to even touch her. Now she was stepping on his throat and smirking. "Still wanna take us home?" she asked sarcastically and chuckled when he only coughed.

Izzy looked at Alec and nodded. Alec understanding her plan walked outside and, when he was sure no one could see him, activated his glamor rune. When he walked back inside, no one even blinked, the rune hiding him successfully.

Slowly walking to the corner, Alec settled for a long wait. He saw Izzy walking away after kicking the guy one more time, and smiled at her when, a moment later, she joined him. "And now we wait." she said softly and Alec nodded. When everyone else will leave, they will set their plan in motion.

Evening,the same day:

Alec stood up when the last person, the man Izzy was fighting, left, deactivating his rune. They, he and Izzy, knew that there was one more guy in the building, but he was currently somewhere else, so they can process with their plan.

Izzy activated another rune, this one making her look like the guy she fought and Alec hid behind some boxes. The last guy just walked into the room, friendly slapping 'the guy's' shoulder. "Some chick did this to you?" he laughed. 'the guy' glared and pressed the bag with ice harder against his black eyes.

"That chick would snap you like a twig." he growled and the other guy snorted, waving as he exited the building. Suddenly, lights started blinking and 'the guy' looked around himself. He was grabbed from behind, someone trying to press some cloth against his nose.

Alec jumped from his hiding place and grabbed the Circle member and threw him away, while Izzy deactivated her rune. The Circle member stood up and pulled his seraph blade out but Izzy and Alec were already waiting, their own swords out and ready.

The man was clearly panicking, looking around himself. He must have seen the unconscious man, because he started sweating and glared at the Lightwood siblings. Izzy used her whip and grabbed the man's blade. "Tell us where Valentine is." she threatened him, pointing her blade at histhroat.

When he wasn't reacting, Alec stepped forward and asked again, "Where is he?" the man pulled a dagger and put it to his throat. Looking Alec in the eyes, he slammed it into his throat and his whole body slumped against the wall. Groaning, Alec gulped his lunch back and sighted. "Great" he murmured and looked at Izzy. "What now?"

The Institute, training hall:

Punching the sand bag before him, Alec gasped. Crouching and kicking, he imagined his opponent being kicked down and Alec jumped up, kicking his 'opponent' into the head. Straightening up, Alec breathed in and wiped some sweat off of his forehead. Grabbing his bottle of water he took a gulp, his heart beating as if he ran a marathon.

He was still angry that they couldn't get anything about Valentine from that man, others having the same luck as him and Izzy. The circle members they managed to grab, too killed themselves, not saying anything. So they were still at the beginning.

Alec didn't like that. He wanted to stop Valentine, not to be scared of something bad happening. Or be able to be with Magnus. Here his thoughts stopped. Magnus. Magnus was his alpha...right? Because they were courting and he knew that he was his omega, Magnus once whispered that he was his when he thought that Alec was asleep, and that means that Magnus was also his.

Alec knew that he didn't have Magnus's collar or anything but it wasn't like he needed it. Of course, he always wanted to have a collar, something that his alpha would give him, something that would show that someone actually wanted him. But now he was just happy to be with Magnus. He doesn't need Magnus to give him anything, he just wanted to be able to be with him. To be close to him.

Sitting down, Alec leaned against the wall and bent his head back, looking at the ceiling of the Institute. Magnus was everything he ever wanted. He really cared for him, looked after him. He never shouted at him or said that he did something wrong. When he was with him he felt protected, safe, like he didn't have to change anything about himself. Like he was perfect.

Yeah, that was it. Magnus made him feel perfect. Suddenly, he heard a quite pop. Slowly breathing in, he didn't smell Izzy nor Jace. His mom or anyone else wouldn't try and creep up on him and Magnus would just portal himself right next to Alec. That meant that there was someone strange in the Institute.

Standing up, Alec made a show of picking his things up and carefully looked around himself. He couldn't see anyone so that must mean that they were right behind him. Straightening up, Alec turned around and got ready to fight.

The moment he had completely turned, the stranger attacked, going for Alec's neck. He dodged and tried to attack too, but his opponent was fast. So not an ordinary human then. He felt their presence on his left. So quickly turning, he lifted his leg and kicked, almost smirking when his foot made contact with another body.

His foot still in the air, Alec swung down and hit his opponents head, slamming their body to the ground. Breathing slightly harder, Alec slowly walked backwards and bend for his phone, ready to call Izzy or someone. Quickly looking at his phone, he missed his opponents lightening fast reaction. Only when he felt gentle breath on his cheek did he look up and lost his breath.

The person he was fighting, the same one he hit upside down the head and was just a second ago laying on the ground, was standing right before him. Their whole body, their face too, was covered by clothes so he couldn't even say if they were male or female. When he finally came back to his senses and wanted to step back, the strange person's hands darted forward and Alec felt something sharp on his neck.

At first nothing happened and Alec moved to hit the person in front of him, but then his fingers started shaking followed by a strange sensation in his shoulder blades. His sight blurred and he started gasping, it felt as if something pushing down on his chest. He made one more attempt to hit the person but when they jumped back, he quickly turned back to his phone, pushing on the first contact he found. Magnus's.

He only managed to hit the call button before his phone slipped out of his hand and on the floor. Alec fell to his knees, his hands useless and his back on fire. Gasping, he leaned froward and clenched his eyes shut. That pain, ...it was worst then his first heat or when Jace broke his arm when they were young.

And then it stopped. Just like that. He sat up, confused. What was that. He looked at his attacker and he could swear that they were smirking. He made to stand up, even if his arms were useless he still had his legs, when pain even more agonizing than before hit him. He couldn't stop the scream before it broke out, the sound high pitched and loud.

An omega's call for their alpha. Tears were falling from Alec's eyes, the urge to scratch at his back was awful but Alec, at this point, couldn't move his hands at all. He heard the sound of fabric tearing and then the pain finally lessened a little bit and Alec turned. His eyes widened when he saw his wings, out and uncovered by his rune, covered in blood.

Gasping he turned to the person who was chuckling and slowly walking closer to him. "Where is Magnus Bane?" the attacker asked in a deep voice. Alec knew that they were masking their voice with something, so he still couldn't tell if they were male or female. Even if their voice was almost as deep as Magnus's.

So they were after Magnus? Now, even more than before, Alec was determined to take out this person. He won't let anyone hurt Magnus.

Not saying anything, Alec pushed himself upwards with trembling legs, not ready to go down without a fight. The stranger clearly thought that Alec can't do anything because they just calmly continued walking closer and closer and lifted their hand, as if to touch Alec.

Well, Alec couldn't blame them. His whole body was trembling, his legs almost breaking in under the strain of holding him up. But Alec wasn't one of the best Shadowhunters for nothing. So he waited until they were almost at hand reach before clenching his muscles, lifting his leg and kicking with as much strength as he could manage in his state.

As it seemed it was still enough as his attacker flew across the whole room and slammed into the wall, slumping down. Alec, having used all of his strength, just fell on ground, landing on his back and could only stare at the ceiling like five minutes before. He couldn't move but that was okay. He could feel Magnus nearby.

He was close in the same building as Alec and approaching closer and closer. He would look after him. Magnus will take care of him. He just saw Magnus throwing the door to the training room open and running inside, felt his hands on his face before everything became black.

Magnus's apartment:

Closing the doors, Magnus breathed out. Finally, that was his last customer for today. Now he could see Alexander. He had this bad feeling all day and he couldn't wait to be with his little omega. Alexander always made him feel relaxed and he could be himself with him.

Hearing his phone ringing he sighted. But when he picked it up and saw Alexander's name he brightened.

"Alexander?" he asked, sitting down on his sofa. He immediately frowned when instead of his omega's sweet voice he only heard gasping. "Alec, are you there? What's going on?!" standing up, Magnus created a portal. Stepping inside, he thought about Alec but when he stepped out he found himself before the Institute instead of next to his omega.

Pocketing his phone he stepped inside the building, ignoring the guard next to the door. They made to grab him but when he glared at them with his unglamored eyes, they withdrew. Storming across the Institute, Magnus glared at anyone who even tried to stop him. He had to find Alexander and he won't let anything stop until he found him.

Now that he was closer to him than before, he could feel his presence and could tell that he was in pain. Speeding up, Magnus turned around a corner and almost walked right into Isabelle. "Magnus? What are you doing here?" she asked, wide eyed. She knew that Alec was training, but he didn't tell her anything about meeting Magnus, at least not before evening.

"Where is Alexander?" he asked instead of answering, his golden eyes furious. "I-..He is training in the hall." she said hesitatingly and staggered when Magnus stormed around her. Running after him she tried to find out what's happening.

"Magnus? Magnus! Tell me what's wrong with my brother!?" she shouted and grabbed his shoulder, turning him to face her, when he didn't answer. Isabelle flinched when Magnus glared at her, his golden eyes bright. "I got a call from Alexander but the only thing I heard was gasping as if he was in pain. He is my omega and I will find what's wrong and you or anyone else won't stop me!"

Isabelle stepped back, her eyes wide, she never heard Magnus shout before. "So either help me or get out of my way!" with this he turned back and continued. Taking a deep breath, Izzy calmed herself. Being shouted at by a more powerful and more dominant alpha wasn't fun. Once she caught her breath she ran after Magnus.

Just as she reached him, they both froze. A high pitched scream was heard across the whole Institute. The call of an omega calling their alpha and Izzy just knew that it was her brother calling. Looking at Magnus she gasped when she saw his wings, ruffled and stretched wide, the wide hall now seeming small, making him appear bigger.

The automatic reaction of an alpha ready to protect their omega. She almost didn't see when Magnus moved, only saw him at the end of the corridor they were in before he disappeared behind the wall, running to where he felt Alec was.

Running after him she saw him throwing the training's door open and gasped when she saw Alec laying on ground his own wings under him and they were covered in blood? Thankfully he was breathing, his chest moving up and down, but still he was unconscious. Looking around, her gaze fell on another person, this one completely covered in black cloth so she couldn't even tell if they were male or not.

When they saw her and Magnus they stood up and seemingly disappeared right before her eyes. Leaving that information for later, she hurried to her brother, kneeling next to Magnus who was gently touching Alec's face.

"Alexander, do you hear me? Alexander!" not getting any answer, Magnus activated his magic and did a quick scan. Finding nothing wrong he frowned. "What's wrong Magnus?" shaking his head, Magnus looked at Izzy with scared eyes. "That's the problem." he looked back at Alec, gently combing his fingers through his hair. "I don't know."

Bonus, Magnus's POV when they found Alec:

His blood froze when he heard Alec's call, vaguely registering his wings coming out. His mind blacked and the only thing he could think about was Alexander and that he had to go and be with him. That his omega needed him.

He didn't remember running or throwing the door open. He only remembers seeing Alexander's body on the ground not moving. Running towards him he gently touched his face. He was warm and Magnus slightly breathed out. So not the worst thing happened. Next he touched his pulse point. Good, steady pulse, good too.

His hands were trembling, he did a quick scan with his magic, frowning when he found nothing. How could that be? What happened? Why was his little omega just laying as if he was ... No he can't think like that. For now he had to find some place to lay Alec on something more comfortable than the ground and do some more scans. He will find what's wrong and he will have his dear omega safe and sound.

To be continued

So here it is. Hope you are happy with it and it was worth the wait. Again sorry for that.

Kudos and Comments are greatly appreciated

Till next time!
