A/N: I may or may not write a Magnus/Alec story.

Chapter 6

Isabelle was waiting impatiently for Magnus to do his magical autopsy. Once Magnus had completed his preliminary autopsy he went to deliver his findings to Alec. While she was waiting she was listening to the older man talk about her brother and his indecisiveness. Agatha had managed to find Jace and Clary standing in the cemetery, standing over Simon's body with Raphael. She stood quietly watching, she didn't think it was right to interfere with the things that she knew that should happen even if they weren't the greatest idea.

Back at the institute one of the forsaken had broken in and was currently attacking Hodge, Agatha could feel something happening and she needed to do something. Turning around Agatha opened a portal straight back into the institute and arrived just in time to see the forsaken throw Hodge and Alec to the ground. Not wanting to risk using magic to deflect all she could do was call upon the teachings of Hodge from when she was younger and deliver a roundhouse kick giving Hodge enough time to do the final blow. As soon as they were sure that the forsaken was down Isabelle, Hodge and Agatha ran to Alec.

"Alec, let me..." Agatha started to say but he shook his head at her as Isabelle crouched down to his level. "We need to talk later mister," she said before turning to Hodge and looking at him. "What about you?"

"Agatha, don't you worry about me," the older man said as he stood up almost falling down in the process.

"Non-sense, if I didn't worry about the ones who looked after me when I was a kid who would I be?" Agatha said as she tried to decide whether to use her stele or her magic.

"Use your stele, you don't want Miss Branwell throwing you out of the institute do you?" Hodge questioned, as Agatha pulled her stele out and used the healing rune on him.

"I suppose not...do you think she would have seen me portal?" Agatha was quiet as she spoke to him as they helped Alec up.

"Where's Jace and Clary?" Alec wanted to know where his parabatai was, Agatha shook her head.

"They'll be back soon," Agatha smiled at him, and then at Isabelle. "Izzy, what did you find out?"

"Not here," Isabelle and Agatha took Alec to his room, once they where in his room Agatha made him sit still while she had a look over him and Isabelle told them her findings. Once they were in Alec's room Isabelle spoke. "They had angel blood,"

"What?" came the response from both Alec and Agatha as Agatha decided to just clean off the wound and wrap it – not using magic or a rune.

Alec looked at Agatha wondering why she hadn't just healed him like he knew that she wanted to do. Isabelle looked between the two of them rolling her eyes at them before she went to deliver her findings to their mother. Agatha sighed, wrapping an arm around Alec's shoulder before she pulled him in front of her.

"Alec, what did you do?" Agatha questioned, looking him in the eyes as he glanced away from her. "Whatever it was I know that Magnus wasn't too impressed by it,"

"How does...Nevermind," Alec muttered still not looking at Agatha as he spoke.

"I can force you to tell me you know, and that's never fun," Agatha laughed pulling his face back to hers. "Alec, I meant what I said earlier,"

"I did something stupid...I asked Lydia to marry me..." Alec talked quickly and quietly as he looked at his best-friend. Agatha stared at him in disbelief.

"You did what? Why would you do that?" Agatha took a deep breath staring at him. "Alec, you didn't have to do that,"

"Yes I did...to solve the families issues," Alec muttered, he was trying to work out it out himself.

"Your heart is telling you otherwise and I know it. When you work out what your heart wants find me, I'll be with Magnus," Agatha sighed, before she got up to leave from Alec's room.

Alec moved to say something to her but then didn't watching as Agatha left the room to go and find Isabelle before she left. Alec sat back on his bed looking vacantly to the wall, he couldn't believe that he had actually asked someone that he had zero feelings for to marry him. Isabelle had just finished talking with her parents and left their room when her and Agatha almost collided.

"Izzy, I don't know what to do," Agatha admitted, she felt helpless after hearing what Alec had done, and she knew that Isabelle didn't know.

"Why? It can't be that bad whatever it is," Isabelle replied, urging her to walk with her to her own room.

"I can't tell you that, it's up to your brother," Agatha sighed, as they walked and she wrapped an arm around the smaller woman. "I have to go, I'll be back soon. I promise,"

"Don't, please,"

Agatha walked up to Magnus, turning as she realised that Alec was behind her. Magnus had been putting up new wards with in the Institute. Soon after Jace had arrived and ran straight up to them where Isabelle and Agatha were talking to Alec. Alec had just told them that their parents had been members of the Circle, the entire time Agatha kept her mouth shut she had found that out once. Agatha wanted to leave the Institute but couldn't as Magnus hadn't left and she needed to talk to him, and she also needed to keep an eye on Alec at the same time. Hours later and they were getting read to go on a rescue mission to save Meliorn from being taken to the Silent Brothers. After they had rescued Meliorn, Jace pulled Agatha aside as she hadn't gone with Magnus like she had said that she would. Isabelle had requested that she stay with them.

"Aggie, what do I do?" this time it was Jace asking her opinion on what he should do.

"I know that Shadowhunters aren't meant to follow their hearts but in this case you should, it's the right thing to do, Alec will understand that one day," Agatha told him, although deep down she knew that Alec wasn't thinking straight to begin with. "Go, I'll see you in a short while," Agatha hugged Jace not leaving him any time to argue with him as she disappeared back into the building. "Alexander Gideon Lightwood, we need to talk now!" she all but bellowed as she walked in.

"Go away Agatha!" Alec yelled back his voice breaking in the process.

"Alec, I'm not going anywhere. You sir are an idiot. Honestly," Agatha said walking straight over to him while he stay sitting on the floor. "He's my brother and you're my best-friend. You're not meant to fight! Parabatai's are meant to be as one," Agatha crouched down in front of Alec pulling his hands away from his face.

"I know! But he broke the law!" Alec old told her loudly as he stared at her.

"So what? Alec, rules are meant to be broken. And I'm sorry but you know that I have to side with him," Agatha sighed, they were all at a loss of what to do. "You not only broke his heart, you broke your own and you lost the trust of both your sister and Jace,"

"What? How do you even know that?" Alec questioned, raising an eyebrow at her.

"You don't need to be a warlock to see that you lost their trust. Izzy is barely holding it together and the same with Jace," Agatha told him still with her hands on either side of his face. "I love you Alexander, but sometimes you can be down right stupid. When you realise what you've done, come and find me," Agatha let go of Alec's face as she opened a portal and moved to step through it.

"How will I find you?" Alec pushed himself up off the ground, he had all but forgotten about the injury from the forsaken that he had refused to let both Agatha and Magnus heal.

"You'll know,"
