Hey guys, sorry this one took a while I've been really busy. Hope you enjoy ;) Please review x
"Someone's coming through" Alec said to no one in particular, as they all stood waiting for their next guest to come through.
The portal began to pulse again, but this time it separated to emit the next visitor.
William Herondale looked up into the many astounded face that were turned to him. He caught the familiar slit pupil eyes, asking them a silent question, to which Magnus nodded down to Lucie.
Spotting her father, the girl in question ran forward and began to sob, in fluent welsh "Mae'n ddrwg gen i, felly mor flin. Doeddwn i ddim yn ei olygu i ei fod yn damwain! Peidiwch â bod yn ddig gyda mi thad."
Replying to her in English, Will said soothingly, whilst stroking her hair "Of course it was an accident." however his voice still took on a sterner tone "But you knew better than to be down there."
Lucie nodded feverishly, wiping away her tears with one arm. Looking again into the crowd Will found his eyes lingering on one boy who looked suspiciously like he had the same shade of blue eyes as himself, and yet another one with the golden eyes he had come to associate with his son.
Drawing his eyes away he spoke to Magnus "Where are we?"
Sighing Magus replied impatiently "Earth, The United States of America, New York, Brooklyn, The Institute, A bedroom which apparently is not owned by anyone but is kept nice for the Clave anyway"
Alec mumbled something that sounded like 'well it is' and Magnus shot him a look.
Waving a hand carelessly he added "Oh, and it's the 1st January 2013, because that's also quite important apparently"
Will blinked at him once and shrugged "Fair enough"
When no one else spoke the warlock said bracingly "Come on my little sheep, we may as well do introductions down stairs, doesn't look like this is going to be solved any time soon we might as well try and be comfortable"
With that they all went downstairs and back into dining room. Lucie sat on her father's lap huddled up as if she feared he would vanish in the blink of an eye.
"It's amazing how all Institutes are so similar" Will commented, earning a disbelieving look from Magnus.
"What?" he asked
"Nothing" replied the warlock sounding tired.
"Ok…so, if you haven't all guessed it by now this is William (Will) Owen Herondale"
Will raised a hand in acknowledgment, even if he did look slightly confused at how Magnus knew his middle name.
"Ok, pay attention this is going to be a slightly longer list" after checking to see that Will was indeed paying full attention, Magus called out the names of each person in turn, pointing to make sure it was clear "Clarissa (Clary) Adele Fairchild, Alexander (Alec) Gideon Lightwood, Sydney Lewis and Johnathan (Jace) Christopher Herondale"
"Simon!" Simon added irritably as Jace snickered.
Will had given a range of expressions as he had heard the names. He had rolled his eyes at Alec's name and made a noise of someone finally finding out the answer to a particularly difficult puzzle when Jace was revealed as a Herondale.
He was excused from making a comment however as at that very moment the dining room door was flung open and a tall girl, with long black hair and equally black eyes barged in.
"There is a women saying she wants to see Magnus Bane, she said her name is Tessa Gray" Isabelle said not quite taking in the tense atmosphere of the room.
Will gave a start and made to get up, but was impaired by his daughter being on his lap. Taking the opportunity whilst it lasted, Magnus sprang out of the chair and through the open door locking it firmly behind him…
For those who are wondering here is the translation for what Lucie says earlier : "I'm sorry, so so sorry. I didn't mean to do it! Please don't be angry with me father."
