As I walk into the Institute, I can't help but smirk. I see Izzy doing something on the screen. We walk towards her.

"Slept at Magnus' place?" She raises an eyebrow at us. I smirk.

"Didn't do much sleeping." Alec says walking past Izzy. I snort. "I was helping treat Luke's wounds. That's all." He stuttered.

"Really?" She asks not believing him.

"Lies." I whispered next to Izzy in amusement. He looks at Izzy.

"What?" He asks. He looks between us. I shrug.

"Nothing. I believe you." Me and her walk up to him.

"Okay, Magnus made cocktails. I'm telling you, nothing happened." Alec says. I roll my eyes. I look at him with a 'really' expression.

"When you're ready to talk about whatever you need to talk about, I'm here." She says making me Aw.

"Hey, I talk to you." He says. Wait what's with the outfit.

"About everything but your personal life. You know, and it's kind of not fair, because I talk to you about mine all the time." She says making me nod. "For example, I broke up with Meliron." She says.

"Le gasp." I say gasping.

"Really? Turing over a new leaf?" Alec says making me hit his arm.

"He was a bit much." Izzy says. My eyebrows furrowed. "Apparently, I need someone more Shadowhunter-ish." She says making me mad because I know who probably said that to her.

"Izzy, I realize that you're trying to take some of the family heat, and i appreciate it, but you can't change who you are." He tells her.

"Really?" She says sarcastically. "And you can?"

"I know who I am. I'm a guy who's about to be disowned when Dad finds out that Jace and Clary are still out doing God know what." Alec says as we walk off to somewhere I have no clue.

"I think Dads used to that by now. This is Jace you're talking about." Izzy says making Alec stop.

"He said he'd be an hour. It's been three." He tells her.

"You don't think he and Clary are..." she trails off.

"At a time like this? Not possible." He walks off. Izzy smiles.

"Do you know where your sister is?" Izzy asks as I look where Alec left. I turn to her.

"She's with Jace and Clary, don't know how she ended up with them tho." I say confused.

"So what's with the puffy lips and messy hair?" She says making my eyes widened. I touch my hair.

"What? Nothing, I fell asleep." I say not very convincingly.

"Right." She says. I roll my eyes.

"Fine I'll tell you. Your going to read my Diary anyways." I say as she laughs.

"Someone call for back up?" Izzy asks as we stand in front of the police station.

"Yeah. What took you guys so long?" Jace asks. I look at Liv. She just gives me a look.

"Funny, I was gonna ask you the same thing." Alec tell Jace.

"It's complicated." He says looking at Alec.

"We found the cup." Clary says.

"The Cup?" Izzy asks her. I raise an eyebrow. I look at Liv. She looked at me and nods.

"Yeah, but we lost it." Clary says making me laugh. "We have to sneak back in the precinct to get it."

"This is a disaster." Alec says making me hum in agreement.

"Hey, demon pox is a disaster. This is an inconvenience. We just need a plan. That's all."

"I say we just go in there and get some blood on your hands even, then get the Cup while I just stand there and look pretty." I suggest.

"Please, that plan risks our lives, you willing to take that risk?" Clary says. I scoff.

"I'm the one who came up with the plan dumbass." I tell her.

"How about a glamour?" Izzy suggested as me and Clary glare at each other.

"We tried that. Anyone working with Valentine will see right through it." Jace says.

"Can't we just ask Magnus to portal us inside? I don't feel like walking." I say smirking.

"No." Alec says making me pout.

"That'd be awkward." Izzy say. I groan.

"Just because your sexually confused doesn't mean anything." I tell Alec. Izzy laughs.

"Magnus can only portal us to places he's been to before." Izzy tells us. Clary's phone rings.

"Not again. Just give me a second." Clary says walking off. Liv snorts.

"Seems her boyfriend is calling her." Liv says.

"Do you think he got kidnapped again?" I ask out loud. Jace goes and takes the phone out of Clary's hand.

"Hey!" She exclaims as she glares at Jace for taking her phone.

"Simons little problem can wait. I've got a great plan." Jace tells her.

"Oh, there's a first." Clary flirts. I fake gag. Jace laughs sarcastically.

"Yuck." I say.

"Just follow my lead. Oh, and don't worry, in my plan, no one gets slapped and hair won't be pulled." Jace says to Liv and Clary.

"Wonder what happened." I say. Izzy hums.

"Right. We'll read Liv's diary later." She says making me nod.

"Okay, I'm guessing you're the distraction?" Alec says to Izzy.

"Nope. I've decided to grow up, remember? No more distracting for me." She says making Alec look at me. I give him a glare. "Besides, I don't think I'm her type."

"I'm everyone's type but I'll let you go." I tell Alec.

"Oh crap." Alec says.

"Don't worry." I say. "Kind of."

"It'll be good practice." Izzy says.

"Huh?" Alec says confused.

"You know, for asking out Magnus and Ariel." Izzy says making me smirk wide. I go and open Alec's shirt.

"What are you.. what are you doing? Not now." He says making chuckle.

"I'm unbuttoning your shirt. What does it look like I'm doing?" I raise an brow.

"Izzy, this is not really my department." He looks at Izzy for help.

"Come on. You do this sort of stuff all the time." Izzy tells him.

"You do, I don't." He says defensively.

"It's easy." She tell him. Alec rolls his eyes and walks to the desk. "Come on." She says as Alec walks nervously to the lady.

"Oh, I feel like a proud mother." I fake cry. Izzy taps my shoulder. Alec leans on the desk making the woman look up. He face turns into disbelief.

"What do you think Alec told her?" I ask Izzy.

"Something stupid." She answers laughing softly.

"Probably." I say. Alec drops a open water bottle. "My cue." I say walking up to them.

"Wow, I'm so sorry." Alec says with no emotion. I grab the card and flick hit to Izzy.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry. He's such a clutz." I say to the woman. She looks annoyed.

"No, I got it. I got it. Just go. Go. Go." She tells Alec. He grabs papers as I pull him.

"Babe, your such a clutz." I smack his ass in amusement. He gives me an amused look. "By the way, your such a bad actor." I tell him.

"I wasn't acting." He says. I laugh.

"I know, I can tell. "Oh, I'm sorry." I mimic his voice.
