(Leya's outfit)
"I don't think the sun's ever felt this good before." Leya tells Simon as they sit on a bench by the waterfront holding hands.
"Yeah." Simon tells her.
"Hey, look at us. On our favorite bench, during the day. We're like a normal couple!" Leya tells him.
"It's funny how normal doesn't even feel normal anymore. I'm not even a normal vampire. I'm a freak of vamp nature." Simon tells her.
"Hey, don't say that. You're not a freak, your just unique. Special, sexy." Leya tells him with a smirk.
"Don't you think there has to be some sort of downside?" Simon asks.
"We've seen the downside, Si. We're focusing on the upside from now on." Leya tells him.
"My Bubbie Helen always says there are no handouts in life, that everything comes with a price." Simon tells her.
"Well, that's not always the case." Leya tells him.
"What if I'm walking to the subway and the next thing I know, I'm a scorch mark on 9th Avenue..." Simon asks before Leya cuts him off.
"Well, don't think about that, okay? We've been through so much already. Lost, so much. But right now, we have each other and it's really good." Leya tells him.
"It's really, really good." Simon tells her.
"Mm-hmm. So, let's enjoy it." Leya tells him.
"Okay. I will. Starting right now." Simon tells her as he turns his body towards her.
"Thank you." Leya tells him and then kisses him.
"Leya." Jace says as he walks up to them, and she and Simon pulls apart.
"I'm sorry. What are you doing here Jace?" Leya asks as she stands up.
"Inquisitor Herondale just arrived at the institute. She wants to speak with you me and Clary. Now." Jace tells her.
"Okay, let me just get my stuff." Leya tells him and then walks over to get her things as Simon stands up and walks over to him and talks to him quietly.
"Leya, you ready?" Jace asks.
"Yeah. I'll call you later?" Leya says as she walks over and stands in front of Simon.
"Yeah." Simon tells her and then Leya kisses him and then follows after Jace.

"Valentine, you and I both know, the cup can control demons. In the wrong hands, it could be catastrophic." Imogen tells him from inside the holding cell as Jace, Leya and Clary walks in and watches them."In your hands, I'm a dead man." Valentine tells her.
"19 Shadowhunters died in your assault on this institute, along with hundreds of Downworlders that you massacred with the soul-sword. Justice will be served." Imogen tells him and then runs her stele over the agony rune, and he screams out in pain before she runs her stele over it once again and then leaves.
