Maverick POV

Why couldn't she just leave the damn cup alone?

It was safer for everyone not knowing where it was. As If it wasn't enough that they broke into the precinct and stole those damn tarot cards but y'all went through a tunnel filled with Shax demons.

Now here we are trying to figure out what they should do with it. I check over Alec and sigh. I didn't know they were going to get the damned thing until Izzy texted me telling me they were in trouble. I rushed there looking for one person, Alec. But, instead I was greeted by a shapeshifter who tried to trick me by looking like Clary but one thing that damn creature didn't know is that Clary doesn't care if I'm okay. I had to help Alec kill the demons before we ran into the actual Clary and went back to the Institute.

"The cup is not safe here. We need to give it back to the Clave."
Alec says.

"Give it back to the Clave? No. Not after everything we went through to get it."
Clary says and I sigh.

"I agree with my brother. The cup is extremely important."
Izzy says and I smile. She's trying to prove everyone wrong about her and I love it. Even though she is great altogether. Her mother is the one that need to prove herself to Izzy.

"This cup is the one chance I have at getting my mom back."
Clary says.

"I agree with Clary. We can't give the Cup to the Clave, not now. We need it. It's our only bargaining chip."
Jace says.

"So we are going to put one woman's life over the entirety of the Shadowworld? Hell, the world? I disagree with both the options. If the Clave gets it they'll probably try to use it against the Shadowworld as well. And if we try to give it to Valentine, what is stopping him from killing us or your mother. And with you knowing how to get it out is also a problem because you can take it out as much as you please. So..."
I comment and they look at me in shock.

"Why are you talking about our mother like she isn't your mother, too?"
Clary spits and I laugh.

"Because your mother isn't my mother. And even if she was my mother I think I will still hate her with every fiber of my being."
I spit back.

Walk away from the group and to the library. Though I get where Clary is coming from with trying to get her mother back, it is also stupid and reckless to put everyone's life in danger over one person. Wanting to save a parent isn't a problem but she isn't looking at the bigger picture. I plop down on a chair and lay my head on my arms. I can't stand this bullshit.

After calming down a little bit, I walk back to the OP Center. I look at up at Alec as I feel him starring at me and he looks at me with worried eyes. I smile softly at him and nod and he shakes his head.

"We'll talk about this later."
He mouths and I nod.

I don't want anything to do with the damn cup shit. I just want to know what it feels like to be a regular Shadowhunter without all this drama. Just simply going on missions. Not this trying to fight the most villainous Shadowhunter in Shadowhunter history.

As I was in my thoughts, the sudden blare of an alarm fills up the Institute and scared the hell out of me. WTF? My head snaps towards the op screen and I see a red dot making its way towards the Institute. I hop up out of my seat and run to the exit. I see Alec, Jace, and Izzy run towards me and I scoff as all the others who were there just sitting there starring. Aren't y'all supposed to be Shadowhunter as well?
