I woke with a start, seeing light through my lidded eyes. When I opened them I lay on a couch, still unable to move as Alec bounced his leg. Then Alec saw my wide eyes he called Magnus over. Magnus opened my jaw and poured a horrible tasting liquid in. Gagging and choking on the battery flavored juice Piper realized the feeling was coming back to her body.

I could finally move and that I did, sitting up I spat out the bitter taste and Magnus curled his lip. "New carpets, anyway, I got you a snack." He waved his hands and the table instantly was covered in chocolates and cakes and cookies and hot chocolate and cans of whip cream.

"Jesus Magnus, she can't eat that, you'll make her sick." Clary and Izzy walked into the room and Jace started talking with Alec. I started digging into the food, after all I hadn't eaten all week.

"On the contrary, see Piper is almost completely an angel. Therefore the sweets on earth are the closets thing to food in heaven." He pointed out and I had already eaten all the sugar cookies and started on the hot chocolate.

"What's that mean?" I asked before going back to my food.

"Piper, your magic is fuled by multiple things. That necklace your wearing, if your with other magical items, but all in all-"

"Angelic power." Jace spoke earning a nod from Magnus.

"She being angel, can draw from herself. But that weakens her. She doesn't have to eat every day but in order to keep her fueled up she requires the sweetest food you can find."

"There's no way she can eat all that." Alec spoke but the table was already half empty.

"Unlike you and I Alexander, piper can eat all of the sweets she likes and only gains more power." Magnus watched me eating whip cream from the can.

"Alrighty, so you can take your little red home now." He gently pushed me to Alec who steadied me, my hands still holding the whip cream.

At the institute Clary got sleep while I sat in the chair across from Izzy. "So how strong is this parabatai bond? Is it like twintuition? Well I guess it's not really twintuition anymore." Piper trailed off, though she knew clary and herself wernt related it felt weird. Clary was in denial about the whole thing, the two barely speaking about it.

"How are you feeling about everything? Finding out that you're not a Fairchild?" Izzy leaned over the table to rest her hand on Pipers. The gesture was appreciated but didn't help much.

It was overall strange, sort of like when you come out of a long movie. "Uh, okay I guess. I mean whoever my parents were hopefully good people. And I mean I want to know more about growing up with magnus. But clary's still family, so is mom—Jocelyn. I just wish I could remember." Piper looked at the warlock necklace on her neck. She wasn't special, she just had a cool necklace and a magic bond to Clary. "On the bright side I'm not valentines daughter."

Izzy chuckled, standing up to give Piper a brief hug before muttering something about training. She could tell that Piper wasn't in the mood to talk about this new information quite yet.

I sat on the counter, many people buzzed around the screens of the hub while I pressed the nozzle and filled my mouth with whip cream. When I closed my mouth Alec stood, brows raised at me.

"What, don't act like you've never done it before." I took note of his shirtless chest and sweat lined body. He had been training, now I was jealous.

"I haven't." He walked over to me. "You've got something on your." He stopped before using his thumb to wipe the whip cream off of my lip. He was standing close enough so I could feel the heat radiating off of him. I wanted to rap my legs around him and pull his face to mine but I didn't.

Instead I smirked. "Alec, you can't say things like that on a holy place." I spoke loudly, causing heads to turn and look at us. His brows furrowed. "Alec your sooooo romantic!" I spoke loudly adding in a few un-characteristic giggles so that now everyone was looking.

He realized that I was putting on a show for the hub to see and quickly headed back into the training room while I followed him laughing. I found him walking into a Matt where I chased him. "You annoy me." He scowled at me and I rolled my eyes nimbly jumping onto a ledge. I had changed into high waisted black leggings and a cropped black tank top. My hair pulled up into a ponytail. "You know I have a reputation to hold." He glared at me and I scowled back.

"That's precisely why I did it." It was his turn to roll his eyes before taking a stance.

"Get down here and train, otherwise your still going to be a crappy fighter." I did as told and began dodging his punches before going after my own. I kicked but he blocked, he swung but I dodged. It ended in me getting knocked on my Butt before he stood me up again.

"I feel like this is retaliation." I groaned looking up at where he stood smugly.

"Possibly." He offered me his hand and Accepted it before he positioned me infront of he punching bag.

I looked at it. "What do you want me to do with this?" He stood on the other side holding the sand filled bag still.

"I want you to punch it, it will help with your stress." I did as told, throwing punches which barely moved the bag.

"It's not working." I glared at the bag as if it was the inanimate objects fault.

"Channel your anger, stress, vent it out." He spoke as if he'd done it before.

I began punching while talking. "I'm mad about my mother being kidnapped." More punches. "About my twin being high maintenance." More punches. "I mean I'm supposed to be the younger twin but all I'm doing is protecting her." A kick. "I take all the weight of the family, I have the weird powers that I don't understand, I'm stuck with a one way connection to her, I turned eighteen but I don't get to celebrate. And I don't even understand my POWERS." My fist went straight through the bag with a flash of red light and sand spilled onto the floor.

"So I guess we know it works." Alec lightened the air and I smiled slightly, retrieving my bleeding hand from the bag and walking with him to the first aid kit.

"I'm sorry for unloading all my problems on you." I sighed, he gently wrapped my knuckles.

"It's fine, I get it. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. You carry the Fairchild name and I carry the Lightwood." Piper had never heard him speak of his own problems. "Besides, you sucked less today."

Piper smiled. "I'm sure there's a complement somewhere in there." She stood while he grabbed his shirt before running at him and trying to knock him down. He flipped her and she landed on her back, he caught himself with his knees holding her legs together while his hands pinned her forearms to the ground above her head.

She could count each fleck of silver in his blue iris's. Her eyes drifted to his lips and his to hers. He leaned down, their noses almost touching, piper could feel Alec's warm breath fab against her face and neck and she liked it.

"Alec, Piper, when your done having sex on the training room floor we have important matters to attend to." Izzy sharply called starling Alec up before walking to his sister leaving piper to get herself together and stand up.

"That wasn't-"

"We weren't-"

Alec and piper spoke at the same time before Izzy narrowed her eyes at the two. "I was kidding."

But then Piper gasped quietly and leaned on the column nearest her.

She was in Clary's eyes. Everything had a purple hue, she saw her mother in a coma while Valentine looked down at he woman.

"Mom." Piper said aloud.

"What? Piper what do you see?" She heard Izzy's voice ask.

"The cup for your mother." Valentine spoke to Clary before the connection broke and Piper was looking around the training room.

Piper pushed herself off the column. "Valentine was there, he said the cup for my mother. It was Clary, her dream o-or vision I guess."

The lightwoods followed the red head where she ran into her sisters room and she was speaking with Jace.

"Did you see that Pippi?" Clary clutched the purple stone around her neck.

"Yeah." Izzy snatched off her sisters necklace holding it In The light.

"That's a portal shard." Jace looked at it and Clary sighed.

"My mother gave it to me and told me to think of her when I wore it." Alec looked at the portal shard.

"If you can see Valentine through that he can probably see you. We need to keep that safe." Alec held his hand out for it and Piper hesitated.

She looked at Isabelle then Clary before placing it gingerly in the BFG's hand. They all followed him, minus Izzy and Clary.

"Alec what are Do going to do with it?" Have asked as we walked into one of the main training rooms where runes decorated some of the wooden tiles.

"I'm keeping it safe." He waved his stele over one of the runes and it lifted up a black square column before he traced another and put the necklace in there, It then closed.

Clary and Izzy talked, The black haired girl knew it was important to her parabatai that she was close with her twin. Piper could feel them slowly bonding and smiled.

"Okay lover what's next?" Piper slung an arm around Alec who let her stay like that for a moment before shrugging her off. She didn't mind, they were both slowly getting used to eachother.

"Now I'm going to shower." He left Jace and Piper to themselves before she crossed her arms.

"You and my twin are getting attached, therefore I'm going to hang out with you." She spoke to Jace who shrugged.

"I'm going to train if you'd like to come?" He offered and she grinned, flipping her hair back and strutting off with him.

"Of course." She saw him take up a angel sword and she picked up her own two and sheathed them on her belt before Jace stopped her.
