It had been only days since clary, Jace, Isabelle, Simon, Alec, and Magnus had returned from Diyu. they had all just fallen back into their "normal" routines.
As the new heads of the new york institute, jace and clary had been dealing with piles upon piles of paperwork, so jace suggested they go spar to blow off steam, plus he loved sparring with his girlfriend, there's something about a girl w a big sword…
After sparring for a while, they had decided to take a much needed water break. Out of breath, clary panted, "We've only been doing desk work for a few days, I can't believe I'm already so out of shape, I feel like I'm about to pass out!"
"Yeah," Jace agreed, "I'm not feeling like my usual, amazingly fit self either". Clary rolled her eyes and leaned up against the wall, "Jace, seriously, I think something's wro-" and suddenly fell to the floor unconscious, Jace panicked and rushed to check on her, only moments later the world went dark as he fell into unconsciousness.
After all the chaos that ensued in Diyu, Simon and Isabelle had both decided to take the past few days and watch some of Simon's favorite mundane movies that Isabelle secretly loved.
Currently they were on a movie marathon of this so-called superhero called 'bug-man' or something like that. She kept commenting on his lack of real combat skills, 'If he could actually fight he wouldn't rely on his webs to do literally everything for him', she said probably a thousand times.
Her newfound issue was his costume, "Who wears red and blue to fight at night? You might as well have a giant neon sign saying 'I'm right here come get me!', this guy is such an idiot!"
Simon pulled her closer and said "Just wait until we get to the third one." Izzy quickly turned back, shocked and exclaimed "They made three movies about this idiot?", "Well technically there's like…12ishhh" Simon said sheepishly.
Isabelle threw her hands up in the air, "I will never understand mundanes," she yawned suddenly, "I don't think I can make it through anymore of these movies babe, I feel like I'm about to-" and she abruptly fell asleep. Simon laughed and kissed her forehead, then seconds later slumber took him as well.
Diyu was Magnus and Alec's first real amount of time away from Max, while Magnus had hoped their first time alone in such a long time would have been on a romantic moonlit beach, or in the City of Love itself instead of fighting his brainwashed best friend, the devourer of worlds, and a psychopath obsessed with old spellbooks, Magnus couldn't deny they had some nice alone time together, even if he spent most of that time falling victim to an ancient norse thorn that was slowly turning him into a demon.
Anywho, they had decided to take Max out on a picnic in the park. Over the past few days they didn't want to spend a second away from Max, they needed to make up for some lost time.
Alec was currently pushing Max in a baby swing as Magnus sat on their picnic blanket a little bit away, but still in view. Magnus was taking this all in, never did he ever think that he would get lucky enough to have someone so perfect for him as Alec is, and he never, ever in a million years thought he would be a father. But, here he was watching his beautiful boyfriend playing with his beautiful son. Alec caught him staring and smirked, he waved Magnus over.
Just as Magnus stood up to head over to his family, Alec got this look on his face, a look that made Magnus' stomach drop and just as he quickened his pace to get to Alec, Alec collapsed. Magnus finally reached him and dropped to his knees beside him. Just as he started using his magic to figure out what happened to Alec he felt dizzy and passed out beside Alec.
