quick as lightning

"Well first you would have to have all your memories, which will come to you in time, then you can find out who took them." Magnus nodded pouring himself a drink, a look hidden behind his wall of blockage.

"Magnus, whats wrong?" Piper asked sitting infront of him and looking over his face in concern. "I'm not leaving until you tell me, and don't lie and say it's nothing, I love you, I can tell."

Magnus sighed, not fully wanting to speak of the rough time he had with the agony rune. "I don't want to talk about it, take my hand, look at my mind." He said and she took his hand.

"I don't know how to-" with a slight gasp she relived his worst moment, and then felt how he felt now. "Magnus, I don't hold it against you." She released his hand as he looked down. "Nobody's perfect."

"I knowingly killed my stepfather." He said. "Your a angel." He motioned.

"That's silly, I have angel blood doesn't make me an angel." I shook my head and he cursed.

"Piper you have angel blood, created by a lightning bolt and a angel feather do you know what that is? Your not human at all!" He shouted angerly and she frowned, shaking her head. "Your an angel, like it or not."

"I may be an angel but I've danced with the devil." Piper replied tossing her hands to the air.

"I like the power lightning gives me, knowing that I can level countries at any second." She shouted. "I like the way I control storms, I like the way it feels to let my abilities run wild, but you know why I don't? Because I love the way my new family fights for justice and I love the way I can power up good warlocks and protect countries from demons. We all have evil in us Magnus, but we also have good."

"Well that makes my problem look small." He chuckled, whipping his tears as I whipped my own.

"No problem is small, so can we sit and comfort eachother for a bit?" Piper asked and he patted the couch beside himself.

"Like the time Camille took your binky that week you stayed with me." He chuckled.

"By the way, how did you manage to keep half of my life which was with Clary separate from the other half of my life that I co-existed with the downworld? Also how was my mother okay with me hanging out with vamps and warlocks?"

"Jocelyn didn't know about the vampires and warlocks, and magic, she knew that we still needed eachother." He hugged me and I closed my eyes.

I stood beside Alec and Magnus, the portal Magnus created open as the transport people walked ahead.

"My perfect angel, if only the air didn't reek of downworlder." Valentine spoke to me and Magnus and I scowled, flicking him off.

"Get him outta here." Alec motioned with his head to the portal.

Two guards went then Izzy and then valentine, in his chains headed towards the portal. The man behind him, his eyes went to mine then valentines. His eyes, they were mole eyes, hadn't Alec been looking for a mole? The man placed a hand on valentines shoulder and stepped towards the portal.

"No." I whispered. "No stop! Stop!" I screamed lunging to put my hand on the pair.

"Penelope!" Alec gasped pulling me back. "What are you doing?"

"No no no no!" I shouted, fighting with all my might out of his grasp, biting him so he would let me go as the other looked at me like I was crazy. I gripped my hair pulling at it.

"Valentine just got away, that man who put his hand on him was the mole." I announced and Magnus mouth dropped.

"Piper, how could you tell?"
