Jace and Clary held hands as they walked down the pavements of Manhattan. Jace had wanted Clary to see the sights –Museum of Modern Art, Central Park and The Empire State Building. Clary was complaining loudly as Jace wouldn't tell her where they were going to eat, drawing the attention of many passers-by.
Soon they stopped in front a posh looking restaurant with the name 'Eleven Madison Park in fancy gold lettering above the open door. Conversations and laughter floated through the air towards them.
Clary looked unsure. She turned to Jace, "Jace, I don't think I'm dressed right for this place."
"It's fine, look, come with me." Clary and Jace walked around the side of the building. Jace stopped and pulled a large parcel out of his bag. "This is for you."
Clary opened the parcel and found a beautiful, dark green dress patterned with a paisley lace covering, above her waist. Around her waist was a pale green ribbon and the dress came to a stop at her knee's layers fanning out.
"It's beautiful." She breathed.
"Come on, get changed." Clary looked at Jace, blushing, "Now, here?"
"Yeah , no-one will notice."
Jace turned around as Clary got changed. Once she was ready they strolled into the restaurant hand in hand.
A tall, sandy haired waiter showed them to their table. Clary and Jace had barely finished their starter, when two couples walked in and Clary's eyes widened, "Jace , that's the Annabeth girl and her boyfriend, what's his face, Percy. I don't know whose with them though."
The waiter led the two couples to a table next to them, as Jace realized who the second girl was, "Clary, that's the girl from the mist image thing!" Clary nodded as Percy turned to look at them, his eyes widening in recognition of who they were. He poked Annabeth's side, but she just waved her hand, engrossed in a conversation with the blonde haired boy with glasses, who they had walked in with. The brown haired girl turned to Clary, her eyes changing from green to blue, "Oh, your dress is beautiful, my mother would adore it." Clary smiled and soon relaxed into an easy conversation with the girl. Percy and Jace eyed each other warily before the waiter came and asked for their order, as Jace watched he was sure he saw the waiters eyes flicker red before changing back to brown. Something was wrong, very wrong. Clary and the dark haired girl carried on talking until the food was brought and the girl frowned, the blonde boy looked her way, "What's wrong, Piper? Did they bring you meat?"
"Yeah." She looked away as the boy took the meat and gave her most of his salad, "Thanks Jason." Piper smiled gratefully. Percy looked up from his meal and glanced around, " Um, Annabeth, I'm no Grover but something smells off." Annabeth glanced around as more waiters came into view, Piper and Jason looked around warily before telling the others to calm down. Piper turned to Clary," Sorry Clary, I really loved meeting you. But I think it would be safer for us to leave now." She smiled and stood up, the others were about to follow her lead when a waiter appeared next to her, "Is there a problem, Piper McLean?" Piper paled as Jace instinctively moved closer to Clary. The blonde boy ,Jason, stood up, "How do you know her name?" He asked threateningly, the waiter smiled showing pointed teeth, "Jason Grace, son of Jupiter." A female waitress had walked up and joined the male, "You have no idea how long I've waited to see you." She purred, running a hand up his arm. Jason stepped back, jerking his arm away, "What are you?" He asked his hand sliding into his pocket as Piper pulled a dagger from her boots. Annabeth and Percy rose and stood next to the other couple, "Are there more of you?" Percy growled, stepping forward, Annabeth placed a hand on his chest giving him a look that said not now.
Clary shook Jace's arm, "Jace look, the other waiters, they're getting closer." Jace glanced around, Clary was right, about seven or eight more waiters were heading towards them, eyes red. The two rose to their feet pulling their seraph blades from their bags. Annabeth looked at the shocked, as they named their swords in a whisper, " Raphael." "Gabriel."
Suddenly the waiters attacked and the four demigods and two shadowhunters began to fight. Within minutes the monsters were gone, but the teenagers were not unscathed.
Jason was feeding Piper some jelly like squares and Percy was splashing water on himself at the water fountain. Jace turned to Clary, " You okay?" Clary grimaced, " Yeah I think so, draw a iratze on me though." They took turns drawing the stele across their skin.
Annabeth Pov
Annabeth wiped the dust off her dark blue dress, Gods she hated fighting in a dress. She wandered over to Percy offering him some ambrosia, "You know ,seaweed brain, the water fountain isn't for bathing in." Percy laughed and grabbed her hand as they met Piper and Jason, "You guys good, nothing seriously damaged?" Jason smiled, " My glasses," he frowned, " Lou-Ellen isn't going to fix them for me again that's the fourth time this week!"
"Jason, that's the sixth time this week." Percy laughed as Jason put his head in his hands. Piper laughed and rubbed his back sympathetically. Annabeth glanced at the two teenagers, Jace and Clary, she remembered. Jace looked up and started to walk over to them, Clary soon followed slipping her hand into his.
Jace turned to Percy, "This is just a coincident, right? You're not following us?" Percy laughed,
"No, man, I live in Manhattan. Why are you here anyway?"
"I wanted Clary to see the sights." Jace said warily, "You fight like you've had training, all of you. But you say you're not from an institute, so where do you get your training, Annabeth, isn't it?"
"We go to a camp, Camp Half-Blood, the marks on your arms and all over your body what are they?" Annabeth questioned.
"Runes. Are you all clear sighted mortals?" Clary answered,
Percy and Jason laughed, "You wish!" they said in unison, they grinned, looking at each other they said, " Bro-five!" and hi-fived, slapping their hands together with more force than needed. Piper and Annabeth sighed,
"It reminds me of you and Alec, Jace." Clary muttered.
Piper whispered something to Annabeth, "Sorry, once again, Clary, but the mortals are recovering," she looked around, "If only Hazel was here."
"Um, whose Hazel?" Jace questioned,
"Our friend. Anyway we must be off, lovely meeting you-" Piper trailed off looking at Jace,
"Jace Herondale."
"Um ,yes. Lovely meeting you, Clary, Jace."
"Sorry, but may I ask who you all are? You hold power, but I have asked around and no Annabeth or Percy have been heard in the shadow world." Jace pointed out.
"Oh, I'm Jason Grace, Son of Jupiter." Jason shook hands with Jace, looking expectantly at Piper.
"I'm Piper, Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite." She scowled at the name.
"As you know I'm Annabeth, Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy."
Percy smiled lovingly at Annabeth, "I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. And you are son and daughter of which god or goddess's?"
"My mother is a brilliant woman, but she isn't a goddess and my father was more of the devil!" Clary replied, confused. Jace smiled and answered,
"My mother died before I was born and my father murdered when I was young. I have studied mythology and the Gods and Goddesses you speak of are Greek, correct?" Annabeth nodded, "But Jupiter is roman, yes?" Jason nodded, "So you tell me that the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses are real?"
"Yes, but you don't seem like half-bloods or I would have seen you at camp, or Jason, at Camp Jupiter. You mentioned something about the shadow world, I assume you mean the underworld, but you are no ghost." Annabeth observed.
"Annabeth, the mortals." Percy muttered, " Let's go." The six teens left the restaurant, resuming their previous conversation, "The underworld?" Clary asked, " As far as I am concerned I am very much alive as is Jace, but I would hate to drag you into our world, so it would be in my best interest to leave and head back home." Clary said grabbing Jace's hand and pulling him away, disappearing through the winding alleyways.
Whilst walking towards Sally's apartment they passed a small corner café I, in which sat Nico and Will, but they sat with another couple who looked all to familiar to Annabeth.
