Chapter 1:

Year 1985

"Lord Valentine, we've taken the laboratory," Valentine's minion, Marcus, told him.

Valentine nodded his head in acknowledgement and strode over to the entrance. Inside Valentine's men had the scientists lined up against one wall. Valentine stopped once he was in front of them.

"You are all going to work for me from now on," Valentine announced. "You will do everything I tell, and you will not question me at any time. If you fail to cooperate you will be disposed of. Do you understand?"

The scientists all nodded their heads yes, too scared to speak.

"Take the lead scientist to his office," Valentine commanded.

A small, bald headed man shaking with fright was singled out and moved down a hallway.

"Put the others in there," Valentine instructed, gesturing toward another room. "And station guards at all possible exits."

Valentine quickly made his way to the lead scientist's office. He walked into the office and found the scientist cowering in a chair sitting in front of the desk. Valentine walked silently around the desk and sat down in the desk chair. He observed that the name tag on the scientists white lab coat read Dr. Frank N. Stein.

"Now," he began trying to sound pleasant, "I'll be telling you what you and your team will be working on."

Dr. Stein nodded and stayed silent.

"I want you to make a clone," Valentine told him.

"But that's never been done before. I don't even know how it could be done," Dr. Stein protested.

"Then I guess you'll have to figure it out," Valentine didn't like to be told no.

"Whose DNA will we be using?" Dr. Stein cowered.

"Mine," Valentine pulled a dagger from his weapons belt and sliced a small gash on the top of his arm. He produced a vile and squeezed some blood into it. He handed the vile to Dr. Stein. "If you need anything else tell Marcus," he instructed, gesturing to the man who had brought Dr. Stein to the room.

Dr. Stein nodded again. The fleeting thought that the man was part bobble head past through Valentine's head, but he quickly dismissed it.

"I'll leave you to it," Valentine rose from his chair, striding over to the door.

With V & S dead and gone

Shadowhunter lives are peaceful and long.

But that's just boring,

So to add some spice,

Let's bring villains back,

Cause they're rather nice!
