Jonathan Morgenstern took one look at the queue for Pandemonium (the hottest new demon club), and frowned.

"It's too long," he muttered, before turning to his sister. "Clarissa, can you use your feminine wiles to get us in without queueing?"

The redhead smirked. "Can I get us in?" she scoffed. "Have you seen me tonight? I could get us V.I.P passes for life without even saying anything if I wanted to!"

Looking at her, Jonathan had to admit she was right. Wearing a tight fitted, short, low cut, slinky number that gave a whole new meaning to the term 'little black dress', his baby sister looked hot. Not in a creepy way - he's her freaking brother for Angel's sake- but in a 'I'm going to be defending you from guys who don't know their place' kind of way.

"Nice," he commented casually. "But are you gonna get us in or what?"

"Watch and learn, brother dear," and with that, Clary sauntered up to the Bouncer, bypassing the crowds of teens, and with a few coy whispers, strutted straight in. Watch and learn indeed.

The club was packed with hot, sweaty mortal teenagers grinding against each other, and on a normal day, Jonathan would have killed anyone who even came near him, but today he had to keep an eye on Clary, who was currently seducing a blue haired Eidolon demon so she could kill it in some supply closet somewhere.

And her Marks weren't even a problem. With her extra angel blood, Clary had the ability to create new Runes, one of which hid any Marks from anyone she didn't want to see them. Which was convenient, seeing as the demon who currently had his hand on her boob would run screaming had he caught a glimpse of a black 'tattoo' anywhere on her body.

Wait. Hand. Boob. Aww, hell no! He was not just going to stand there and watch some guy feel up his baby sister! Jonathan started towards the couple, but a look from Clary, and he decided to stay back. After all, this is just what female shadowhunters do!

Realising he had zoned out, Jonathan shook his head and looked up just in time to see a flash of red hair dragging a certain blue haied demon into a supply closet, followed by not only four shadowy figures, but then another three sillouettes of what appeared to be Clave shadowhunters. Damn.

If Clary got hurt, not only would Jonathan feel terrible, but his father would probably whip him for allowing his 'precious baby girl' to be harmed in any way shape or form.

And with that, Jonathan Morgenstern joined the party, and followed his sister, just in time to hear the Clave's people ask what the hell had just happened.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Jace was stunned. He had just seen a demon reject Isabelle for a mundane, and then seen said mundie kill all five of the demons he had gone to protect her from. With a seraph blade. Maybe not a mundie then. But she had taken five out in under fifteen seconds, which beat Jace's record, and that shouldn't have been possible.

To add to his confusion, as soon as he revealed his presence the girl swore, and a white haired boy burst into the room, also holding a seraph blade. How many unknown shadowhunters were there in one club? The girl seemed to know the boy though, because as soon as she saw him, her face relaxed into a smirk.

"Jonathan!" she called. "How nice of you to join us!"

The boy -Jonathan- swore and muttered something he couldn't hear. Something about redheads and demons and murder.

Jace had had enough confusion, and so the interrogation began.

Alec asked the girl questions, as he was the most intimidating, while Isabelle talked to the boy, trying to seduce answers out of him. Apparently one of Alec's questions hit a nerve though, because the girl's face reddened with anger, and she lashed out. Alec tried to repay the favour, but the girl kicked him, and an epic battle began.

Jace thought it would be easy, three on two, but the two strangers were scarily good, and it was obvious that his team was losing. And then the boy looked at the girl and made a hand signal, which was obviously a cue for something as he suddenly tripled in speed and skill, singlehandedly beating all three of them, while the girl did something unknown behind him.

And then suddenly, the boy stepped back and disappeared, clearing the sightlines to see that the girl was gone, and in her place stood a portal. Damn. She must have called a warlock when her partner was attacking them.

Jace ignored the feeling of defeat bubbling in his stomach and made a resolution that he would find that girl and boy, and learn their secrets. First though, he needed to tell Hodge what had transpired.
