I am soooo sorry for not posting sooner. I have been held up by college applications and i haven't been in the best mind set for writing, but I am finally back on track and will be working hard on keeping this story going! I would love suggestions of what to do next for another story! and thank you for sticking with me through this long wait (at least it wasn't Sherlock season 3 long of a wait)!

Jace was not a fan of the Cave, it was hard to be after the kind of crap they gave him, and in all honesty, they weren't all that intelligent when it came to handling bad situations. Never the less, after they had arrived at the London institute, Jace found Clary and they contacted the clave together. Unfortunately it didn't do much good.

"Were telling the truth, Jonathan is building an army of-"

"Demon robots, yes...we heard you the first time." The head of the Clave retorted. "But we don't have the resources to help you with that wild goose chase."

Jace goroned. "Do you honestly think were making this up!" Jace exclaimed, anger rising in his voice. "Besides I would be no where near a goose...too much like the evil ducks."

"I don't think they meant a literal goose chase." Clary retorted under her breath. "Please, hear us out. We wouldn't bring this up unless we had to."

"Fine." The head of the Clave broke. "We will send out a team of shadowhunters and downworlders to stop Jonathan, but meanwhile you two are under house arrest."

"What!?" Jace and Clary exclaimed at the same time.

"You heard me, if Jonathan needs Clary to finish his plans, then we are going to need her to stay somewhere Jonathan can't get to her, and you Jace need to help with the protection detail, despite your personal attachment."

At that Jace felt his face go hot and he turned away from the portal they were talking through. Even Clary cleared her throat uncomfortably before they both returned, reluctantly, to the portal, but the Clave had already closed down the discussion leaving Jace and Clary alone.

"So…" Clary attempted to start.

"So…" Jace repeated, and then looked at her as she stared at her feet.

"I'm not going to make you apologize-" Clary tried again.

"Not that you could make me." Jace retorted, then let her continue.

"Jonathan was my brother-is my brother-and I can never changed that fact, but I have nothing to prove to him. He is not my family, Jace and as much as he will try to force my hand, her never will be."

"What are you trying to say Clary."

"I want you to believe in me, trust me." Clary was now looking at Jace, her own emerald green eyes alight with a new fire. "Jace please, don't shut me out."

"I couldn't even if I tried." Jace replied, and he saw the start of a smile play on her lips.

Clary was glad that she had cleared the air with Jace, and she only wanted to be close to him. It felt like such a long time since they had been alone together, and she missed that. With the Heavenly fire coursing through Jace's veins it made their relationship even more strained, but at the moment she didn't care.

Clary, held Jace's shirt front and pulled him towards her. She pressed her lips to Jace, and he accepted it, kissing her back with a hunger Clary knew too well. His hands slipped down her back and pressed Clary closer to him. Clary, on the other hand, had her fingers going through Jace's blond hair.

"Ahmm." A voice sounded and Jace and clary jumped apart. "Glad to see things are back to normal." Magnus stated with a smile. "Alec and Isabelle will be her in an hour, just to let you two know."

Jace cleared his throat and nodded his head to Magnus. "Thanks, um…for letting us know." Clary looked up at Magnus, and he held up his hands, a smirk spread on his face.

"Don't stop on my account." And then he was gone from the room.

"So…"

"Are we really going to do that again." Jace finished, and this time Clary did smile.

"Well." Clary replied stepping forward as her heart started to speed up. "I was actually thinking a little more...intimate."

"Oh…" Jace replied and teased Clary by coming close to her lips, lightly brushing them with his own, and then backing away. Jace kissed up and down Clary's neck, and she let out a moan which only encouraged Jace. Suddenly Jace pulled away, lifting Clary up in his arms and kissed her letting the wall behind Clary bear some of her weight.

"Shouldnt we...go somewhere...more private." Clary asked breathlessly, and jace smiled smugly.

"What do you want to do?" Jace played "Something more than an innocent makeout session?" Clary bit her lip, and quickly covered Jace's mouth with her own, letting his tongue explore her mouth as she did his.

"Maybe." Clary teased as she took a breath. Jace then readjusted Clary in his arms and found the nearest room haphazardly. That would be a mistake.

"Yeah I didn't need to see that." Tessa's voice rang out as Jace let Clary drop from his arms and she landed on her feet then jumped away from Jace, again.

"I think were getting worse at this." Jace muttered under his breath to Clary.

After interrupting Jace and Clary, Magnus went to retire into a room of his choosing, not that he wanted to be in the London institute, but he like a room with a view. Magnus walked the hallways, feeling his footfalls echoing off the tall ceilings that gave the feeling of being followed. Being superstitious was never one of Magnus's strong suits, but he couldn't help but feel something was wrong.

Just as the thought has gone through Magnus's head, a loud whooshing sound erupted in front of him, and a large portal appeared. A foot stepped through, and turned into Jonathan Christopher, looking cocky as ever. A small laugh escaped Magnus's mouth, but he could feel goosebumps spreading down his arms.

"Are your really that confident to just walk into the Institute when the whole Clave is looking for you?" Magnus scoffed. "Or do you have some death wish?"

"Hardly." Jonathan shot back. "I was actually looking for you."

"Oh?"

"I need you to deliver a message for me." Jonathan stated cooly. "I'm sure that isn't to devious."

"And what makes you think I will listen to you." Magnus replied "I have nothing to lose, and you have nothing to hold over me."

"I don't?" Jonathan asked his black eyes barring deep into Magnus's own cat eyes. "I'm sure that this mean nothing to you right?" Jonathan held up a flask filled with a silver liquid that shimmered in the low light.

"No."

"Yes." Jonathan's devilish smile seemed to spit wider. "Mortality potion." Magnus could hardly believe it. He had never seen a mortality potion in his life, but he would know it anywhere, just about any worlock would know it if they had been around the block enough.

"humm." Magnus attempted to hide his interest. "Do you really think after all of these years I want to die like a normal human being?"

"I don't think...i know." Jonathan replied. "Now that message. Tell Clary that if she doesn't come back to me i will release the clockwork demons."

"That's not possible! you had no way to bind the demons to the clockwork army."

"That may be true, but I have every demon that is going to be in that army under my thumb. I say jump and well… they cause an earthquake." Jonathan stated backing into the portal. "I expect her here by midnight."

The portal had evaporated and Magnus had already decided what he was going to do, it wasn't hard to see what needed to be done. Quickly, Magnus spun on his heel and strode towards the library where Jem and Tessa had wandered off to, hoping to find Clary along the way.
