Copper Confusion

Jonathan and I stumble into our bedroom at the safe house after our second day of werewolf reconnaissance. Patrick has given us the pack's location of course, but we still had to get closer and find out their numbers before we attack them tomorrow. We've reported to our team that their pack is about thirty strong and we are only ten. But we're ten of the best fighters The Circle has to offer and we have excellent weapons and gear, not to mention my runes, so we should be alright. Jonathan barely waits until we're inside the room to start undressing me, which I'm ready for, since he's been undressing me with his eyes all day and I'm super horny by this point.

"I can't wait to taste you!" He says, tugging my pants off and throwing them across the room. He lays me down on the bed and proceeds to pull my panties off with his teeth. Then he begins making me moan and I'm thankful for the silence rune on the door. I can feel a flush creep up my cheeks and soon I'm approaching my peak. Just as I begin to orgasm, the wall beside the bed begins to shimmer and I realize while I'm riding out the waves of pleasure that Jace must have Portalled in because he is currently materializing in this very room as I come down off of my high.

"Jace?" I ask

"Did you just fucking call me Jace, Sera?" Jon asks, sounding upset.

"No Jon, Jace is here, look!" And I point across the room to where Jace is standing.

"Holy shit! He is here!" Jon grins, walking over to him and giving him a hug. "About fucking time you showed up, I'm in agony how about you?"

"Did you just come to see us or is something wrong? You don't look so good." I ask. Jace still hasn't said anything and he hasn't attacked me with a barrage of kisses or even thrown his arms around me and he barely hugged Jon.

"Seraphina, something's wrong here. I don't feel better." Jon says.

"What do you mean Jon?" I ask.

"I mean, Jace is here and yet, I don't feel better." Jon says, now glaring at Jace. And now he does something totally unexpected. He pulls Jace's sleeve up and it takes me a minute to realize what he's doing, before I realize, there's no Parabatai rune! "Who the fuck are you, and why do you look like Jace?" Jon asks him.

"Would you believe, I'm an alien and I abducted him?" Jace asks.

"No, I wouldn't believe that, now tell me what the fuck is going on!" Jon glares at him.

"Alright, I will. But can you both please put some clothes on first?" Jace asked.

"Yeah, we can do that." I say gently, trying to calm Jon down. And we both proceed to get dressed so that we can find out what the hell is going on here.

"So, you come from another world?" Jon asks.

"Yup." Jace says.

"A world in which I died?" Jon scoffs. This is the part I really can't get over. Apparently this alternate dimension version of me that this Jace, who is so very obviously not our Jace, is in love with killed her own brother. I so can't wrap my head around why anyone with a brother like Jonathan would feel the need to commit fratricide.

"Yep." Jace answers.

"And she killed me?" He says, motioning to me, which I personally take offense to. I mean it wasn't me, per se.

"Uh huh." Jace sighs obviously not pleased we're going over all of this again.

"But she feels bad about it?" Well that proves she's not a complete idiot.

"You bet." He nods.

"And so you want to find another Jonathan from another world to replace the brother that she killed?" I chime in.

"That's basically the gist of it, yeah." He smiles, pleased that we understand, although I'm not sure I do.

"Wow, dude, you're fucking whipped." Jon laughs.

"No, I just love her very much and I'd do anything for her." Aww, that's sweet!

"Well I hope that includes dying for her cuz this random world hopping shit is probably gonna get you killed bro." Ugh, Jon! Seriously?

"I would die for her, if I had to. But I am hoping it won't come down to that." Yeah, no kidding!

"Yeah well, let's hope not. So, you say in your world her name is Clary, the fuck is that all about?" Yes! Finally one I know the answer to that Jon doesn't.

"Is it short for Clarissa?" I ask.

"Yeah it is." Jace smirks.

"How the fuck did you know that?" Jon huffs.

"Mother told me her and Father used to fight about my name. She wanted to call me Clarissa and he wanted to call me Seraphina. Father won." I grin.

"Well, apparently he lost in his world." Jon says, nodding to Jace.

"Umm actually, in my world Jocelyn left Valentine when she was pregnant with Clary. Clary was raised as mundane until her teenage years. Jocelyn's actually married to Luke now, although you would most likely know him as Lucian Graymark?"

"What the fuck kind of woman marries her rapist?" Jon spits.

"Oh, umm wow, that never happened in our world. Luke's a decent guy in our world." Jace defends, taken aback.

"Well in ours he's a dirty Downworlder, so let's not talk about him." Jon grimaces.

"Oh, there's still a Circle in your world then?" Jace asks, not meeting our eyes anymore.

"Isn't there in yours? Jon, I don't know if we should be talking to this guy, I don't think he's loyal. Maybe we should just kill him?" I say, starting to get the impression this whole thing is a bad idea.

"Sera, we can't kill him, okay? He's Jace. He might be from a fucked up world that doesn't know what's good for them, but he's still Jace. I'm not gonna kill him."

"Fine then, I will!" I say, and lunge at the bastard, dagger in hand. Unfortunately Jon notices a little too quickly.

"Sera, stop, Sera, calm down!" He says, restraining me and keeping me from going for Jace. Fratricide is starting to look a little better right now. I do the only thing I can do, since Jonathan won't let go of me.

"I hereby render unconditional obedience to the Circle and its principles... I will be ready to risk my life at any time for the Circle, in order to preserve the purity of the bloodlines of Idris, and for the mortal world with whose safety we are charged." By the time I finish reciting the loyalty oath; Jace has sprinkled some sparkly blue liquid on our windowsill and turned it into a portal somehow. Ugh, he must have had a nasty warlock helping him! Anyway he's stepped through it and is gone now. I start to calm down a little.

"That was messed up." Jon says, relaxing his hold on me as we watch the Portal turn back into a regular window.

"Yeah no kidding." I say.

"Let's not tell anyone that happened, okay?" Jon asks. I can see where he's coming from, they'd think we were guano crazy.

"Yeah, okay, except maybe Jace?" I plead.

"Okay fine, but just Jace." Jon nods.

"You bet, and I think we should go see him tomorrow after the mission, don't you?" I ask.

"Yeah, I'll need runes by then, not to mention some relief from this awful Parabatai pain." Jon sighs. And I kiss him as we fall back onto the bed to finish what we started before we were so rudely interrupted.
