The bright light behind Simon's eyes faded and the throb of the Mark dulled. It took him a minute to recognize the place where he stood.

In his flat. His lounge. And the TV was on.

"Ok, dude, I know you've got cool vamp powers, but that's the TV screen you are blocking."

Simon whirled to see Eric and the rest of the band lounging on the couch,trying to see around him, and Jordan poised on the armrest looking startled. The werewolf got up cautiously, as if Simon were an intruder in his own home.

"Simon, where did you just come from?" He asked treading softly towards him.

"I was walking towards the portal from the Hall, and I got this massive headache..." Jordan immediately seemed confused

"The Hall? In Idris? And now you are here?" He seemed just as confused as Simon.

"Well I'm not a hologram, so I guess so." Jordan stepped back as if to examine a museum piece.

"Wait, wait. So vamps do not teleport, then?" Kirk piped from the couch, obviously finding this new revelation more interesting than the TV screen.

Jordan shook his head

" I'm guessing you mundanes have numerous versions of vampires, but really they can't teleport anywhere. Only change form if they are strong enough" He was staring quizzically at the Mark as he said it. "You said you had a headache... Then it must have come from the rune. Look, it's still alight."

Simon went to look in the bathroom mirror, and felt a pang of fear. The Mark had a faint blue-white shine, too light for mundane eyes.

Jordan leaned against the door frame. He looked at the Mark on Simon's head and grinned widely. "Y'know, you look like the Night Child version of Harry Potter."

He rolled his eyes at the werewolf in the mirror. "I don't find this very funny at the moment. I just materialized out of a heavily warded Shadowhunter city without the help of a portal."

"Ah, c'mon. Shall I list all the things that have occurred in your presence? You've slain demons, been into Alicante, where no vampire is permitted,spent time in the dungeons, held your ground against the head vampire of New York City, and someone might have mentioned being rat-napped by a hotel full of vampires..."

Simon's face lit with surprise. "Who did?!"

"That's not the point, listen to me! It's not that hard to see you're probably most feared of the Night Children especially by their leaders. Different is dangerous to them. A Vampire that walks in daylight, is happily welcomed into Shadowhunter cities and is untouchable because of a certain rune on his his head, is certainly out of the ordinary."

"Not helping at all, Jordan."

"Yes I am, there's a point to this somewhere, I just forgot where it was cause you interrupted me." Simon half grinned at the 'wolf.

"Oh! Right..So why not add another reason to be 'not a real Night Child'?"

"YEAH! Get some more of that vampire mojo you're always bragging about!"Eric shouted from the couch

"Pretty sure that's you Eric. Bet you could get a Band name from this, huh?!" Simon shouted back.

A short pause. " REBEL'S NIGHT MOJO!" Simon realized his mood had lightened a lot since the teleporting incident, and the thought of a new power intrigued him. Although it still pained him to think who or what else might take an interest to it as well.
