Izzy sat by the window of the Institute next to Jace. She was worried about - dare she say it - Magnus. But she was more worried about Alec. It had been almost twenty four hours and they still hadn't heard anything.

She tapped her for nervously against the floor. Magnus had to have found Alec by now, right? She just hoped Magnus was still alive, she knew Alec was. Well, Jace knew and he had told her that besides some pain all over his body, "like whip marks" he had said, Alec seemed to be fine.

Jace was annoyingly tapping the table with his fingers. "Would you stop?" Izzy asked, and Jace glared at her.

"You're tapping your foot," he said. She stopped tapping her foot, and he stopped tapping his fingers and instead clasped them together then unclasped them again.

She didn't blame Jace for being irritable. After Magnus was sent off with his special boots Izzy and Jace had rushed to their mom to convince her to get backup. Jocelyn and Clary had come as soon as Jace called them, and Simon had come when Isabelle called him, but Maryse and Robert were more reluctant.

"You don't even know if it's real," she had said. That had made Izzy really mad. Maybe it wasn't real, but it's all they had. Maryse had said that if Magnus' alarm went off she would help, but until then she would do nothing. Robert had blatantly said no, claiming that "if Alec got taken he can get himself out". Izzy's Mom had to restrain her from strangling him to death.

So, basically the only backup they had was her, Jace, Clary, Simon, Jocelyn, Maryse (sort of?), and Luke and his pack, who had come with Jocelyn. Izzy figured it would be an okay amount, depending on whether Sebastian's kids had demons guarding the doors....

A blaring shook Izzy out of her thoughts and Jace looked over at her excited. It was the alarm. Her phone was going nuts, blaring and beeping and making her half deaf. But that meant Magnus had found Alec.

"You get Mom, I'll get everyone else," Jace said quickly, springing into action.

"Meet by the door!" Izzy called, as he ran down the hall, already decorated with seraph blades.

Jace yelled something back, and Izzy assumed it was an okay. She jumped up, stuffed her phone in her pocket, and ran down the hall. Her feet pounded on the familiar floor, and they skidded to a stop when she burst into her mom's room.
