A/N: I did say that I would try for multiple chapters between episodes, depending on how much I feel I can fit in.

Chapter 07

Agatha stepped through the portal, she had subconsciously opened it straight into Magnus' lair. Stepping in Agatha came face to face with Magnus holding Chairman Meow who seemed to be a little grumpy. Magnus looked at Agatha's face and could tell almost instantly that something was wrong with her, she could say the same about him.

"Magnus, what do I do?" Agatha questioned, closing the portal behind her and looking up at her older brother.

"Aggie dear, do about what?" Magnus questioned as Chairman Meow jumped from his arms and over to the nearest window sill jumping on it.

"My idiot of a best-friend," Agatha muttered wrapping her arms around him, Magnus sighed pulling her close and kissing the top of her head.

"Is this about his engagement?" Magnus knew what the answer was going to be, he was feeling the same way about the situation.

"Possibly. He's an idiot. I know that it's not what his heart wants...his heart wants..." Agatha mumbled into his shoulder pausing as she started to laugh a little.

"What does his heart want?" Magnus pulled back letting go of her and walking over to his little bookshelf bar and pouring them both a drink.

"His heart wants you...he's only doing this because he thinks that he has to," Agatha said as she sat on the couch pausing before she asked for a drink too.

Agatha and Magnus sat talking in his living room until Agatha fell asleep on the couch with Chairman Meow curled up in her lap. Magnus waved his hand and a blanket was pulled up over Agatha before retreating to his own bedroom whispering sleep well my dear Agatha. As Agatha slept Magnus called Luke to see what he knew.

"Your niece is asleep on my couch, and she'd like to know if you know where her brother is?" Magnus said, even though both of them were quite capable of tracking the young shadowhunter.

'With Clary wherever that may be Magnus. You keep her safe or I will be the one that hunts you down,' Luke told him, he was as protective over his niece as he was over Clary. 'I know that she can track him,'

"She's not invincible. Not if he doesn't want to be found, although in saying that she does always find a way," Magnus told him thinking it over before both men hung up. Magnus going to lie down and Luke sitting in his car with the two young shadowhunters behind him.

Luke turned to Jace who shook his head, he shouldn't have had to lie to Magnus about her Jace was. Luke looked to the young shadowhunters sitting in his car. Jace looked at Luke and then at Clary before he spoke.

"I'm sorry but she could be working for the Clave," Jace said, Luke shook his head Agatha knew better.

"I can tell you that she's not working for the Clave, I may no longer be a shadowhunter but I know her. Jace she worries about you, about the Lightwoods it's in her nature," Luke replied, running a hand over his head as he spoke. "You and her may have used rune's to hide but she's different,"

"She's my sister, but she's Alec's best-friend she'll be on his side..." Jace muttered looking at Clary as he did so.

"Not so fast, she was with Magnus...she only goes to him when they fight..." Luke told him, Jace had to have remembered that from when he was a young boy.

"They fought?" Jace questioned, looking back to Luke as he spoke. Clary looked at him and then to Meliorn who was still sitting in the car with them. "Does that mean she's on our side in all of this?"

"You'll have to ask her that when she finds you," Luke answered, he didn't want to give up too much about Agatha, they had made it clear a long time ago that it was up to her with what she disclosed.

Isabelle had made it back to the Institute not long after Alec had and had quietly followed behind him to see what damage had been made with the downworlders helping them to free Meliorn. Alec turned around and looked at Isabelle he could see that what Agatha had told him about Isabelle's heart being broken by him was true.

"Why Alec? Why did you side with the law? Jace is your parabatai and I'm your sister," Isabelle's voice was slightly shaking as she yelled at him.

"Because...he's broken it too many times..." Alec replied, looking away from her ass he spoke.

"So what? He's your parabatai – your best-friend, your brother. Big brother I love you but, I can't deal with you right now," Isabelle sighed, she wanted to walk away from him but she wanted to know where her own parabatai was. "Where did Agatha go?"

"I don't know," was all he replied, Isabelle shook her head and sat on the edge of the couch with Alec promptly sitting beside her.

"You can't seriously be considering marrying her?" Isabelle questioned, she was now back to the news from before. "You know that Magnus is very much into you and your news may well have broken everyone," Isabelle muttered as strong a woman as she was she hated Alec right at that moment.

"Izzy, I don't know what to do," Alec seemed to be repeating himself over and over the last day.

"You could, I don't know not marry her," Isabelle replied, tilting her head backwards as he spoke. "What did you say to Aggie?"

"We fought okay, with words..." Alec was starting to have second thoughts over what he was doing. Isabelle stared at Alec the last time she remembered the two of them fighting was just before Agatha told them that she was leaving again.

"No! Not again, she left the last time you fought. Don't you remember that?" Isabelle wanted to scream the question in his face but held herself back. "Big brother I love you but you need to let us in," Alec put his head in his hands and ran them over his face he was still standing in front of Isabelle he hadn't yet sat down. Somehow he needed to fix what he had broken but didn't know how to go about it.

Meanwhile at Magnus' he was contemplating on waking up the younger girl but for what reason he didn't exactly know, while he was staring at her she had waken up on her own accord as Chairman Meow had dug his claws into her leg. Agatha looked groggily at Magnus, which was when he saw her warlock's mark showing in her eyes just like his.

"Magnus, they know about our parents being in the Circle...Lydia told them. They don't know that the reason Maryse and Robert run the Institute was because they were going to have Alec," Agatha spoke quickly, she had managed to keep her mouth shut for this long about it.

"Aggie, stay calm would you before you make my apartment go boom," Magnus' voice was eerily calming to Agatha.

"Magnus if that's what's driving him he has to know but I can't be the one to tell him it's just not right," Agatha sat up pushing Chairman Meow off her lap and onto the floor. "Where's Jace?"

"You know the answer to that one," Magnus told her watching his cat run off to another room.

Agatha closed her eyes briefly opening them and allowing her hands to spark before she pulled Jace from the back of Luke's car. Jace looked at Agatha quite confused as to how he had ended up in Magnus' apartment. Agatha looked at Jace and then pulled Clary to the apartment as well.

"Jace, I'm on your side on this one, you're my kid brother," Agatha smiled at him and pulled him towards her. "Clary, you can always count on me and on Jace I promise you that,"

"Aggie, what did you do? What about Luke and Meliorn?" Jace questioned, glancing at Clary who was more than a little bit confused as to how they had ended up there.

"They're still together, look I can return you to before I took you that's no problem. Jace...I fought with Alec again," Agatha muttered, staring at her baby brother as she spoke, this time Jace pulled her close and wrapped his arm around her. "Jace he's an idiot, he'll come around one day..."

"Meliorn said he has a way to locate Valentine," Clary said, Jace shook his head at her his sister didn't need to know that.

"Please don't do anything any more stupid than usual," Agatha told him pulling away from Jace and turning to Clary. "Clary, Jace will protect you no matter what. But if he ever hurts you I want you to tell me,"

"Aggie!" Jace moved to slap her but quickly stopped thinking better of it. "Sorry, can you?"

"Fine, just be careful," Agatha did the same movements as before and Jace and Clary were returned to their prior situation in Luke's car and it was like they had never moved.
