Season 1 Episode 11: Blood Calls To Blood
Jace turned to face the girl's tears in his eyes. "He's my father."
Khloe's jaw almost dropped as she stared at the man who was looking up at Jace and back to Jace looking at Clary.
The man, who was supposedly Jace's father slowly pulled himself up from the ground and stood tall.
"Dad?" Jace said one last time before pulling him into a hug.
Khloe and Clary looked at each other, unsure of the man in front of them.
"You're hurt! How did you get here?" The man asked.
"You're dead. Valentine killed you." Jace whispered still not believing that his father was here. "Valentine's... Valentine's here."
"No Jace, it's me." The man said grabbing a hold of Jace's face and making him look into his eyes.
Jace's father looked at the two sisters who both looked very confused before saying, "I'm Micheal Wayland. I'm Jace's father. Look I know what Jace told you but I've been here for ten years. Valentine took off and left me."
"And Jocelyn Fairchild?" Clary asked.
"He took her with him," Micheal replied. "And you two are?"
"I'm Clary, her daughter--"
"And I'm Khloe, but it's fine you can forget about me everyone else does." Khloe cut her sister off.
"Meliorn the Seelie told me that he was here with her," Clary told Micheal causing Khloe to sigh.
Clary had just given Meliorn's name to an oddly suspicious man who showed up out of nowhere with quite a lot of knowledge considering he had been locked up for ten years.
Jace stumbled and Michael and Clary raced to catch him.
"His stele where is it?" Michael asked patting his jacket pocket looking for it.
"Back pocket!" Clary replied while struggling to help Jace stand. Khloe cautiously stepped towards Jace not fully trusting Jace's father.
Khloe held Jace up with Clary lifted his shirt and Michael ran his stele over the rune. Michael groaned.
"What's wrong?" Clary asked panicking.
"The rune is too weak." He replied.
"The Ravener Venom is spreading." Khloe sighed. "We have to get him help."
"The portal closed!" Clary cried.
"Valentine's got a standing portal," Michael replied securing Jaces arm around his shoulder. Khloe wrapped Jace's arm around her shoulder as best she could, ignoring the fact that Michael seemed to know a lot for someone who had been locked up for ten years.
"Let's go."
Khloe helped Michael drag Jace in the direction of the portal while Clary trailed behind not knowing what to do exactly.
"Hey, Jace, stay with me. Hey" Michael spoke to Jace. "Do you remember our first demon fight? We were way out past the institute, way up at Kinshasa. You were only eight, but you were so brave."
Jace watched Michael as he spoke and Khloe couldn't help but watch the two interact as she kept walking to where ever Michael was taking them.
"Do you remember what you said?" Michael asked.
"I'm ready to die." Jace quoted his younger self while watching his dad with tears in his eyes.
"And then I said 'sometimes it's as brave to live, as it is to die'," Michael placed his hand on Jace's chest. "Do you remember?"
