Tessa tracked Will down to the weapons room, after about half an hour of trying to find the place she located him stood over a table of blades, an array of colours and sizes. He picked them up, one by one, examining them with graceful ands and occasionally making a swing at the air in front of him. She couldn't help but watch him though; she stood peering around the doorway careful to keep out of sight; not sure why she didn't want to be seen.

"I've never seen this one before." Will said, twisting a particularly strange looking dagger between his fingers. Tessa stood confused for a second, about to answer him before a husky voice answered for her out of the shadows of the dimly lit room.

"Relatively new that one, not one of my favourites." Jace stepped out from the shade, and stood on the opposite side of the table to Will. He leaned against it, the lean muscles in his arms tensing as he examined the blade intently. Tessa examined the two of them for a moment, not wanting to disturb the first conversation the two of them had had without snapping at each other. But that's Herondales for you, she thought, as stubborn as ever.

"Will." She said moving out of the doorway and into the room, it was dusty and the smell of the weapons and various pieces of equipment reminded her of London, she was overwhelmed with the longing to get home. For things to finally be okay again, as they were before they had landed themselves in this predicament.

"Mr. Herondale," She said, acknowledging Jace who smiled at her, but his golden eyes seemed distant and it made Tessa uncomfortable. "We're leaving in a moment."

"Where are we going?" Will asked, placing the blade carefully back on the table.

"The Empire State building and the-." She paused; thinking of the name that Isabelle had mentioned. She had mentioned so many places that they had surpassed Tessa in a blur and she decided just to go along with the Shadowhunter.

"Central Park." She said as the flitting memory of the conversation floated through her head.

"Magnus took me there last night."

"Where didn't Magnus take you last night?" Jace enquired with a joking expression. The room was quiet for a while, and Will started walking towards Tessa with sad eyes and blushing cheeks. He looked her up and down before he spoke again.

"Home." He said, the room was a the type of silence that crawls underneath your skin and screams at you so shrill that it's the loudest thing you've ever heard, Tessa couldn't bear to break it.

"You'll get there; I have complete faith in Magnus." Jace said walking past the two of them and out into the hallway. "He's never let us down before."

"What about Clary?" Tessa said unable to stop herself from asking.

"Clary won't let you down either, but she might get you killed in the process." He stalked off out of the room and Tessa wondered what he meant, who had died and what made Clary so dangerous that she might need to conserve her life? She looked up at Will who looked at the Herondale as he walked away; he huffed, a small smile forming at one corner of his lips. Tessa felt her skin crawl again, but not in the bad way that it had before. She looked away slightly furious with herself.

"Come along Tess." He said quietly avoiding her glance.

"Thousands and thousands of warlocks, good God." Will shouted above the racket of the bustling people around them and arching his neck to look up at the building that loomed above them. It must be hundreds of floors high, she thought to herself. She followed Will's gaze and it hurt her neck as she could not even see the top spire. The building looked as if it would fall on her at any moment and she stepped backwards, Jem's hand catching the small of her back, stopping her from falling into the busy road. She smiled at him, and she noticed that his eyes looked greyer today, his hair looked darker and his face was full of colour, he looked better.

"It's 100 floors, or something like that." Clary said, pulling her red hair out of her face, Jace proceeded to tuck it behind her ear.

"600 if you count Olympus." Everyone's heads whipped round to look at Simon, who stood next to Magnus, with his hands shoved in his pockets. Will scoffed and folded his arms across his chest.

"Vampires." Will said under his breath, but Simon heard him obviously. He raised his hands up, shaking his head so that his brown waves fell into his eyes, and made him look as pale as a ghost.

"It was a joke! Percy Jackson?" He asked, his eyebrows had disappeared into his hairline. "It's a book series, oh my G-" He stopped whilst he was ahead of himself, so he didn't choke on the word. Will laughed and Simon scowled back at him.

"Just leave it Simon." Clary said patting his back and giving him a condescending look, she propelled him forward and they walked into the skyscraper.

I'm really sorry that this is short and I haven't updated in a while, I've been really busy with exams and freaking out over The Bane Chronicles. But I should get back on track when I finish school next week!
