"We've lost seven of our own, but we can't allow a single radical Seelie to define the entire downworld any more than we can allow Valentine to define all Shadowhunters so to restore unity with our allies I will be hosting regular cabinet meetings here with the downworld leaders of New York" Alec said as he started the meeting and Kelsey smiled at him.
"I'm all for unity but does he have to bring them here" a dark-haired woman beside Kelsey and Izzy said.
"What do you expect he's dating an abomination" the man said, and Kelsey held back tears as Izzy noticed. "Still can't believe Alec Lightwood is in charge" the dark-haired woman said.
"Just wait in a week it'll be someone else" the man said. Izzy then turned to them glaring at them.
"Hey, show some respect also call my best friend an abomination again and I can promise you it'll be your last day at this institute even if I have to go through the clave to do it myself" Izzy said and they stayed silent.
"Please let's make the downworlders feel welcome" Alec said and went to Jace and Clary once the meeting was over.
"Kels" Izzy started to say when Kelsey interrupted her.
"I'm fine promise" Kelsey said and went to Alec. "Look at you in charge for a week you're already shaking things up I think this cabinet thing is a good idea" Jace said.
"Yeah, I'm not sure everyone agrees" Alec said as Izzy made her way over. "All the more reason to do it how can I help" Clary asked.
"Actually, I need you, Kels, and Jace for a mission you're going to the Seelie court" Alec told her.
"Where is that" Clary asked. "The nearest entrance is in Central Park but it's in another realm where the Seelie queen lives" Izzy said.
"I requested an audience with her to discuss Kaelie's crimes, but she said she'll only meet with Valentine's experiments" Alec said. "She actually said experiments" Kelsey asked and Alec nodded.
"Wow charming nickname" Clary said. "So, you think the Seelie Queen is responsible for Kaelie's attacks" Clary asked.
"That's what I want you to find out" Alec said. "It would make sense those murders weren't exactly Kaelie's style" Jace said. "How did you know Kaelie" Clary asked Jace.
"You read" Clary asked Jace. "Yeah, why does everyone find that so hard to believe" Jace asked.
"Because it's you" Kelsey said giving Jace a knowing look.
"Look focus we need to find out if she's complicit an entire faction could be turning against us" Alec said.
"That shouldn't be too hard right Seelies can't lie" Clary said. "Technically yes but after hundreds of years of practice they can expertly manipulate the truth, and the Queen is the master" Jace said.
"She's very dangerous the entire realm is more than one shadowhunter hasn't made it back" Izzy said.
"What could go wrong" Clary said. "But we're uh Valentine's experiments right don't mess with us" Clary said to Jace and Kelsey.
"Yeah, well let's get this over with" Kelsey said about to leave but Alec stopped her.
"Kels hey what's wrong" Alec asked her, seeing her expression. "Nothing I'm fine" Kelsey said and Alec looked at Izzy who sighed.
"A couple Shadowhunters called her an abomination" Izzy said and Kelsey sighed.
"What" Alec said. "It's not a big deal nothing I'm not used to I'm fine promise" Kelsey said and kissed Alec's cheek. "Let's go" Kelsey told Clary and Jace and left.
