Jace Lightwood

Jace Lightwood is a not so patient parabatai especially when it comes to training. Shadowhunters are expected to train each day to develop their abilities to hunt and kill demons. Jace has been waiting for hours now for Alexander Lightwood, his parabatai who happens to be Magnus Bane's ex lover, but Jace was through waiting so he decided to look for Alec. Eventually he did find him and boy was he angry when he saw his parabatai holding up his phone, calling no other than his ex lover and then hanging up whenever Magnus answers. It's been this way for quite a while now. Jace deciding it has to end walked right up to Alec, picked up his phone and threw it towards the wall.

"Jace! You just threw my phone at the wall! What the hell is your problem?!" Alec exclaimed running towards his phone.

"Alec you are so caught up with your love life that you forgot that we we're supposed to be training today!" Jace answered.

"I know but that doesn't give you the right to break my phone!?"

"Actually it does. You've been on that phone for hours now instead of training. It's for the good that I broke your phone."

"But I just recently bought this phone, you dumbass!" Jace already bored with their conversation that he just casually answered, "Okay okay let me make it up to you, I'll go to Magnus's house and I'll talk to him. You better be ready for training when I get back." Alec not actually listening to Jace kept on babbling how Jace broke his new phone, and even if he did heard him, Jace already had sprinted out the room and was off to disturb the High Warlock of Brooklyn.

At Magnus Bane's

Jace walked to the door and knocked. He waited for what seemed like hours, but was actually just a second then door opened and Magnus Bane appeared at the door looking psyched to see him. "Jace! How perfect." Magnus said.

"Well, hello to you too, my parabatai's ex."

"No need to remind me, Lightwood. What do you want?"

"I am here to tell you that you should talk to Alec. He's not really doing well. I blame you." Jace answers bluntly.

"Magnus? Who was it? Is it really James?" A boy joked, he looked a lot like Alec but instead of wearing modern clothing he seemed to be wearing coats and boots which made Jace snicker silently. It's so far from Halloween, this guy must be out of his mind. "Oh. You're not James. That's too bad. If I am hearing right, a descendant of Lightworm?" Wow! Magnus' new guy just called me descendant of a fucking Lightworm. He really is out of his mind., Jace thought.

"Oh! Magnus. That was fast! You replace my parabatai over this? This still stuck in Victorian era dude? How your standards went low. And for your information, I am only Lightwood by name. I was adopted."

"How dare you insult my pride. Magnus? Replace his parabatai? What is this imbecile talking about?"

"Woah hold up, Herondale. Will is not my boyfriend. And Jace, this is your great great great grandfather. William Herondale. Have some respect."

"He's my what!?" Said both Herondales trying to process what Magnus had just spoke. Magnus smirked.

"Surely you must be joking. That is not a funny joke. I mean, I look nothing like him." Will said.

"No I'm quite sure you're related. You coming in, blondie? I'll explain everything inside." Magnus spoke walking towards the sala talking like it was something usual that a boy from the victorian era comes back to life and meet his children's great great grandchildren. Jace clearly dumbfounded just nodded and went inside while a hesitant Will followed. They all sat there just like a while ago but now there was some awkward silence and both herondales was glaring at each other. Even though he was enjoying Will and Jace's glares, Magnus decided it was time to tell the tale. "Alright then, Stop your glaring. I'll tell the story. Will, well remember how you and Tessa had James and Lucy?"

"Of course I did, how could I not remember the best things that had happened in my life. I wou-"

"Blah,Blah,Blah What does this have to do with us, Mags?" Jace interrupted.

"What is your problem?!" Will shouted at Jace.

"Shut it, I ain't talking to you." Jace replied casually.

"Jace, don't start. If you really wanna know how you two are related you need to cooperate. Now, you two will only talk if I ask you a question, other than that, shut it." Magnus said sounding really annoyed now. Will and Jace both nodded so Magnus continued, "Alright then, James had his son, Owen and Owen had his son, Marcus, and had Stephen, and then Stephen had Jace."

"Are you sure?" Will asked still not believing anything.

"Yes I am sure! I'll show you a proof" Magnus exclaimed, walking up the stairs, to his room and took the Herondale family tree. He went down again and threw the family tree illustration at the table. "There." Jace looked at it, and realized, Will Herondale, the copy of Tale of Two Cities, it belonged to him. But if he was the person he said that he was, why was he here? shouldn't he be dead already?

"You have Tessa's book? Why do you have that? Have you seen her? How about Jem?" Jace eyes widened, he had not meant to say that out loud. Tessa? Jem? Who are these people? Is he related to him too? "Hello? Are you still there lad?"

"I need to go." Jace not being able to handle the fact that he met a real herondale, someone his blood, the grandfather of his grandfather, the was only family he has, ran outside not caring about Magnus' shout for him to come back and Will's constant nagging about how he could not believe that he had met his descendant. He just ran. All the way back to the institute, where a furious Alec awaits him.
