Lily - Lissa's POV

Simon gave one last yell to his love, "CLARY!" and he vanished with the other two vampires.

"I still don't understand! How could shadowhunters be better than– than what you people call mundanes?" Clary complained as we entered the institute. She was complaining to the others behind me but I ignored them all, choosing to reminisce in my long forgotten past.

I spun around at her question, annoyed with her lack of respect to the people who saved our lives as well as try their best to help us. It wasn't their fault so I argued back, "Because shadowhunters protect humans!"

My response to her question surprised Clary and she turned around to move her glare from Izzy to me, "...you're right little sister!" She spun back around to face the others, "You protect humans! You left Simon all alone in the van... Great job guys you rock!"

Feeling he need to protect them from her brash tone, I argued, "Clary stop it. They didn't do anything wrong. Simon was safest in the van– no. He was safer at home. You should have sent him away when he first arrived here. This world should have never been revealed to him!"

But Clary was persistent and argued, "But he's my best friend. He had a right to know!"

"No Clary. He didn't. He was a mundane! Mundanes aren't supposed to know about this world and the fact that he does just put him in danger. We can't just bend the rules for you!"

She went to argue more by I screamed, "Enough!" I paused, taking a deep breath before calmly saying, "Sed lex dura lex. The Law is hard, but it is the Law! We can't argue with that so Clary... shut up! And let's go find Simon..."

And with that, I spun around and headed towards the heart of the institute

And with that, I spun around and headed towards the heart of the institute. Behind me, I heard three pairs of footsteps before a "Move it mundie." And some whispers of "how did she know the laws?" "Did you tell her?"

Alec then cleared his throat before ranting about telling the clave of the lead on Valentine.

"...what? That he's our father? Great fine tell them! What good does that do Simon?"

Uhhhhh! Can't she use her brain!

Even Jace was aggravated as he said, "Clary! It's all connected. The vamps want the cup..."

"Why?" Clary cut off. The others spent a while explaining to Clary why it was a bad idea for anyone but the shadowhunters to have the cup. "...I don't need a spokesman. I need a plan!"

When they finished their discussion, I felt like another argument was gonna start up so I distracted them with the only piece of knowledge I had so that they'd follow me to the Ops room.
