"Dad" Jace said as his dad walked out of the closet. "Son" Jace's dad said, and they hugged.
"Oh, Jace I can't believe it" he said and pulled away from the hug. "Son you're hurt" he said.
"How did you find me" he asked. "You're dead Valentine killed you Valentine's, Valentine's here" Jace said.
"No Jace it's me" Jace's dad reassured him before noticing Clary and Kelsey. "I'm Michael Wayland I'm Jace's father" Mikael said introducing himself to Clary and Kelsey.
"Look I know what Jace told you, but I've been here for ten years Valentine took off and left me" Michael said.
"And Jocelyn Fairchild" Clary asked. "He took her with him" Michael told Clary.
"You are" Michael asked Clary. "I'm Clary her daughter Meliorn the seelie told me that he was here with her" Clary said and Michael noticed Kelsey.
"You must be Kelsey Valentine's daughter" Michael said. "He may be my blood, but my real dad is Magnus Bane" Kelsey said.
"Jace no" Clary said seeing Jace about to fall and Michael kept him held up preventing him from falling. "It's Ravener venom he kept telling me he was alright" Clary said.
"We have to find your father not my father Valentine's" Jace said and stopped. "His stele where is it" Michael asked.
"His back pocket" Kelsey said as Jace groaned in pain. "What's wrong" Clary asked. "It's his rune it's weak" Kelsey said.
"Ravener venom must be spreading we have to get him help we, we closed the portal" Clary said.
"Valentine's, got a standing portal let's go" Mikael said leaving with Jace. Kelsey grabbed Clary's arm causing Clary to look at her seeing her look at Michael suspiciously.
"Don't trust him something is suspicious about him be careful" Kelsey said and followed Jace and Michael.
Clary thought about what Kelsey said and followed her. "Hey Jace stay with me hey" Michael said to Jace. "Do you remember our first demon fight" he asked.
"We were way out past the institute way up at Kinshasa you were only eight, but you were so brave" Michael said.
"Do you remember what you said" he asked. "I'm ready to die" Jace said weakly. "And then I said sometimes it's as brave to live as it is to die" Michael said.
"Do you remember" Michael asked. "I do it's true it's you" Jace said. "Let's go" Jace said, and they left.

"We need help" Clary said walking in the diner with Kelsey, Jace, and Michael. "Clary what happened" Simon asked walking to them with Luke.
"We thought we found Valentine, but he was already gone" Clary said as she sat Jace down with Michael next to him.
Michael couldn't help but notice Kelsey keeping a close eye on him. "Michael Wayland" Luke said recognizing him. "Valentine took my mother with him but we found Jace's father" Clary said.
"What I thought Valentine killed Jace's father" Simon said confused. "So did we" Kelsey said.
"He tried" Michael said as Luke moved closer to Jace. "Hello Lucien" Michael said. "This can't be I thought I'd never see you again" Luke said to Michael.
"I never thought I'd see anyone again" Michael said. "What happened" Luke asked referring to Jace.
"Demon got him he can't fight the poison his runes are too weak, and he needs blood, but we can't go back to the institute" Clary said. "Simon" Clary said going to him.
