"You'll live" my brother sighed, spinning his stele idly.
"Bold of you to assume I want to after tonight" I shot back.
"Stop being dramatic. They're hardly going to murder you" he replied.
"Izzy might not, but hell Alec will give it a shot"

—————— I opened my eyes, slightly dazed from waking up from a peaceful slumber. Alec's arm was resting loosely over my waist as he slept blissfully. Turning onto my other side, I couldn't help but watch him. He looked so peaceful, like he didn't have a worry in the world. Watching him, I gently ran my fingers over his jawline as he scrunched his nose up in his sleep slightly. A smile made its way onto my face as I pulled my hand away. I got out of bed, collecting some clothes and going into the bathroom to do my routine of getting ready.
I emerged from the bathroom seeing Alec awake, staring up at the ceiling. "Sleep well?" I asked, pulling my grey cotton skirt down slightly. "I wouldn't have woke up if you didn't get up" he replied, sitting up against the headboard with a slightly whiny tone. "Sorry but we've still got to do our job" I replied, walking over and pressing a kiss to his lips. "Hopefully things will calm down after we get rid of Azazel" Alec sighed, his hand moving up to my neck. "It will, don't worry," I said, "now get up" With a huff, Alec threw the covers off and stood up. His toned body was completely exposed as I trailed my eyes over the runes. "Come on Lena, we've gotta do our job" he teased before moving to a draw in my wardrobe where he stored some clothes. Rolling my eyes, I pulled my black leather jacket on. "I'm going to the ops centre" I declared, kissing his cheek. I felt Alec's hand grasp my arm, pulling me back towards him and pressing a kiss to my lips. My arms automatically wrapped around his neck as he smiled softly against my lips. Every time we kissed, it felt freeing. It was something I'd never experienced before him and don't think I ever would with anyone else. "I'll be down soon" he mumbled before walking into the bathroom. Sighing with a flustered feeling, I ran a hand through my hair. Damn Lightwood.
**** "Azazel's attacks go as far south as the Meatpacking District, and then the trail runs cold" I told Jace and Clary as Alec wandered over. "It's no use just tracking dead bodies. With his ability to dematerialize he could be anywhere" Jace continued as we looked at a hologram of the plotted points of dead bodies on a map. Alec closed the map, finding this whole thing futile.
"Maybe we can help" a voice spoke. "Izzy!" Clary gasped, hugging my raven haired parabatai. Next to her stood a blonde man, a shadowhunter. Tall and lean, fair looking. Something, though, was off about him. Maybe it was just my concern through the parabatai bond but he was looking at Clary weirdly. "Where've you been?" I asked as I embraced her. "Looking for Azazel," she began as we parted, "This is Sebastian Verlac, from the London Institute. When the demon came after me, Sebastian saved my life" "Oh I simply lent a hand" he modestly spoke. It seemed modest but didn't come off as it. "Sebastian's am expert on all things Azazel" Izzy further explained, making eye contact with Alec. The atmosphere felt tense around the two siblings. "When I studied abroad at the Paris Institute, I specialized in Greater Demons" Sebastian spoke up, looking at each of us intently.
