Jace, Magnus, Alec, and Clary, and Izzy were all sitting in the institute's library. They were having a meeting on the subject of demon hunting and weapons. One half of the group, Jace and Izzy, thought they needed more weapons then they already had. The other half, Alec and Clary, thought they had enough. Magnus had no ideas for them and just kept out of the banter.

"I'm telling you we need some more. There are unbelievable amounts of demons this year." Jace unsuccessfully tried to argue with Alec.

"We have more than enough Jace." Alec insisted.

"No we don't. I agree with Jace. We need more weapons." Izzy continued to berate her brother.

"Why not just compromise. Get some more weapons, but not many." Reasoned Magnus.

Everyone put their heads in their hands. Clary looked up and said, "Are you all getting headaches for no apparent reason too."

"Yes. What is causing this. Magnus?" Jace massaged his temple as he talked.

"I'm getting one too. I have no clue what's going on." Magnus had probably the worst headache out of all of them.

Suddenly they all got thrown into a vision.

Jace and Alec looked around at the scenery. There was a fight scene happening, at some hotel. Tables were strewn everywhere. They could see their friends around them, but that wasn't the confusing part. There were two people in the room. Some others had recently fled, they could tell by the noise. The interesting thing was that only one of the men in the center of the room had a blade. It was strangely silver and glowey, a lot like a seraph blade. Both were men, though the taller one looked sick with skin peeling off his face, while the shorter with the blade began to talk.

He said, "Play the victim all you want. But you and me? We know the truth. Dad loved you best. More than Michael, more than me. Then he brought the new baby home and you couldn't handle it. So this is all just one big temper tantrum. Time to grow up."

Everyone in the room seeing the vision looked confused. Who was this?

Then the other man spoke, "Gabriel, if you're doing this for Michael…"

All of the people instantly thought of archangels, and got even more confused.

'Gabriel' said, "Screw him. If he were standing here, I'd shiv his ass too."

Everyone who was watching the vision, gasped. It wasn't like the other people could here or see them.

The other person said "You disloyal-"

"Oh, I'm loyal. To them!"

"Who? These so called gods?"

"To people, Lucifer. People"

Everyone gasped before looking at one another. Thoughts of, I thought he was the ruler of hell, or LUCIFER! went through everyone's heads.

"So you're willing to die, for a pile of cockroaches. Why?"

"Because Dad was right. They are better than us."

"They are broken. Flawed! Abortions."

"Damn right they're flawed. But a lot of them try. To do better, to forgive. I've been riding the pine a long time. But I'm in the game now, and I'm not on your side, or Michael's. I'm on theirs."

"Brother, don't make me do this."

"No one makes us do anything."

They all watched as Lucifer killed his own brother. After they were thrown out of the vision, they sat in shock.

Jace was the first one to speak. "So… What just happened?"

Magnus simply said, "The archangel Gabriel is dead."
