Love Across The Multiverse

Gone

So this is my second fanfiction, I hope you like it, I know, I shouldn't start another work until I'm done with one I'm working on, but I had this idea stuck in my head and had to write it down.

(Also English is not my first language, so excuse any mistakes, and feel free to point it out to me.)

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

Gone:

adjective

The definition of gone is something that has left, departed or that is no longer there.

Jace P.O.V

Jace really hate his life, because he is sure that the universe is out to get him as he never seems to be able to catch a break, they won, Valentine is dead, he and Clary are finally together, and let's not forget that he died and came back to life, so basically, they should be relaxing and celebrating their peaceful life.

But no, they don't get to do that, because Simon Lewis is a self-sacrificing bastard, who is willing to give up his own freedom and life for others around him, and Clary Fray refuses to live in a world where Simon does not exist, her words, not his.

Which leads us to the reason why Jace is frustrated, angry and bitter at the same time. well, that and the fact that both Simon and Clary are currently in a coma.

You ask how they ended up in this situation.

Well, it all goes back to about a week ago with Maia storming in the jade wolf looking like the world has ended.

A week ago:

Jace was at the jade wolf with Clary, as she felt like visiting Luke, it has been a month since they won and defeated Valentine, things have been getting better, dare he say even peaceful, which is a nice change from the usual chaos that their lives have become in the last year.

And things appear to be getting better in the shadow world, while at least in New York, the shadowhunters of New York Institute started to get along with downworlders of New York, it seems that the prejudges they had about the downworlders have decreased, as so many situations have forced them to work alongside each other and put aside their differences.

Hell, even the werewolves and the vampires came to an agreement to act more civilly with each other.

But he felt that it had something to do with Luke and Simon.

Their father and son relationship confused most downworlders, as Luke is a werewolf and Simon is a vampire, they suppose to be mortal enemies, yet Luke treats Simon as his own son and Simon looks up to Luke as a father.

Honestly, their relationship amazes Jace himself, how Simon and Luke don't care about what the other is and refuse to follow the stereotype of the hatred that werewolves and vampires share.

And the only reason the vampires and werewolves are playing nice is; because Luke is close to Simon and nobody in his pack wants to piss Luke off by going after his surrogate son or his kind. while the vampires are trying to get on Simon's good grace (now that he is a daylighter), and it is no secret that Simon prefers hanging out with Luke more than his own clan, and both Luke and Raphael are responsible people, so its better for both sides to play nice.

looking across the restaurant, he saw both Clary and Luke talking happily, it was nice to see them like this, especially Clary, after everything that has happened, she deserves to be happy.

Just as he was about to get up to approach both Luke and Clary, the jade wolf door was burst open with such force, one would think an earthquake has occurred.

That sent everyone at the restaurant on alarm, as he turned to the door, he saw Maia standing there, looking shaken.

And before anyone could even utter a word, Maia ran to where Luke and clary where standing.

"LUKE, CLARY, please, PLEASE tell you seen him?" asked them, Maia, looking so scared and worried that even Jace started to panic, this is Maia we are talking about, nothing ever scared her, so if she is in such a state, then something much really be wrong.

Both Luke and Clary shared a worried look before turning back to Maia.

"Seen who Maia?" asked Luke looking worried himself.

"SIMON Luke, SIMON, have seen him? please tell you have."

At the mention of Simon's name, Clary went pale, "What you mean by "have seen him", did something happen to him?"

"I don't know, maybe, he's gone" answered Maia vaguely.

"What you mean you don't know and gone, what's going on?" asked her Clary looking confused.

Seeing as this is going nowhere, Luke intervened "Ok, how about we sit down, and Maia you could start from the beginning".

So all four of them sat down and Maia started explain "Ok so you know that Simon wanted to focus on his studies more now that things have calmed down, so he told me he was staying in the dorms because he had a lot of work to catch on, so I didn't bother him, beside some texts now and then, but it has almost been a month since I saw him in person, so I decided to visit him, except he wasn't there, and the guy who was supposed to be his roommate told me that Simon dropped from the university in the beinging of the month and he hasn't seen him since then, but Simon never mentioned anything about dropping out in the texts he sent me, if anything he made sound like he was busy doing school work."

And that statement ringed all sort of alarms in Jace's head and from the looks of it, it did the same to both Clary and Luke.

"So did you check his house?" asked her Jace.

That seems to irritate Maia, "Of course I did, when I went there to ask his mom about Simon, she didn't recognize me, and the worst part, she had no idea who Simon is and told I must have gotten the wrong house and that she does not have a son. his own mother FORGOT him, how is that even possible?".

"WHAT" was the shocked response that came out of the rest of them, both Clary and Luke started to throw questions at Maia, and Jace has to admit that is pretty worrying, where the hell is Simon and why can't his own mother remember him.

And just why, WHY can't the universes just give him a break, by the angel he died and came back to life, he is allowed a break from crazy, but apparently, the universes had other plans.

Because now they have to solve the mystery of missing Simon.
