A New Generation, Chapter 3
Subway
Ok, wow. I like, never update this much! Dang, I love this story! I was so glad to get my first review from Nico Yukina! Alright, folks, here's the plan. I'll rotate between different pairings every update, and next up is Sizzy. But I'll still have family gatherings and irregular snippets. THIS WILL BE AWESOME SAUCE!

Maia gripped Jordan's hand tightly as the subway took them to the Institute. Jordan was nervous, she could tell from the look in his eyes. Suddenly, he turned to her.
"Do you love me?'
Suspicion crashed down on top of her heart." Of course! Why?"
He nodded, satisfied.
"Jordan, are you all right?"
"Never better." He smiled at her and she relaxed. But then he turned to look at her.
"Would you stay with me forever?"
She wrapped her arms around him." Always."
He captured her in his arms." One more random question."
She nodded, looking up at him." What's with the sudden curiosity?"
He laughed." O yea of little faith. I'm curious because I have a question."
"Shoot."
"Would you marry me?"
She nodded into his chest." Yeah." Then she sprang back, and for a second Jordan thought he'd done something wrong.
"WHAT?" Heads turned on the subway, and she lowered her voice." Were you- did you- are we?" The unfinished question dangled in the air between them, and Jordan could almost see the gears in that brilliant mind of hers working away at the surprise. Then she sprang at him, kissing him fiercely.
He took that as a yes.

Meanwhile, Alec was giving Nissa and Magnus a rune that Clary had invented that would let Downworlders into sacred grounds. Only the eight friends knew about it, so it was perfectly safe. Nissa squirmed under the sting of the stelae, green chlorophyll swimming in her eyes instead of tears. But Magnus held her, and she was captivated by the blue rabbit that he had 'borrowed' from FAO Schwarz, the largest toy store in New York. She giggled, and Magnus had pre-named the rabbit Glitter, but Nissa called it Grr, because she had yet to learn how to speak. Magnus found this strangely hilarious. Finally, they were ready, and so off they went to meet Clary and Jace.
