BACK AT THE institute, in Izzy's room, Shay was helping Izzy decide which wig she should wear on the mission.

"All I'm saying Izzy, is that demons dig blondes, so you should wear the platinum blonde one. Plus the blue one makes you look funny."

Before Izzy could make any kind of remark to Shay's comment, she heard a voice through the door.

"Isabelle lets go."

"God he sounds so serious!"

The brunette rolled her eyes at her parabatai and threw away the blue wig and grabbed Shays hand, leading the way into the corridor where a serious faced, raven haired boy stood.

"Hey there big bro."
"Hey there bestie"

Alec shot both girls a disappointing look, not appreciating what they were wearing, not Izzy anyway. He quite enjoyed looking at what Shay was wearing.

"Really you two?"

"What can I say, demons dig blondes"
"Yeah Alec, are you saying I don't look nice?"

Alec didn't know what to say, he was used to Shay's blunt comments, and he normally had a comeback, but this time he was stumped.

"Of course I do, and I'm pretty sure that's white."

"Actually Lightworm, its platinum, get your eyes checked."

Izzy smiled towards her parabatai as they walked into the centre of the institute.

"They don't exactly like Shakespeare, okay Alec."

"Your plenty distracting on your own."

The Lightwood and Henry girl looked at each other, slight smiles on their faces as they said it at the same time. The strawberry blonde raised her hand for a high five, whilst Alec walked away with Izzy.

"Wow, thanks for leaving me there Alec."

"So, be yourself. Is that what your trying to say?"

"Never mind. Looking good, lets go."
"Never thought I'd see the day where the Alec Lightwood gave anyone a compliment."

All three walked down the steps to meet Jace, Shay being the first to greet him, with a kiss at the computer he was standing at. Alec looked on, sadness crossing his face for a split second. It was Izzy, however, that spoke first.

"We're ready Jace."

Jace looked next to him at the strawberry blonde and admired her attire with a smirk on his face.

"Looking good babe."
"What a charmer."

He then looked at the brunette and saw the wig.

"Nice choice Izzy. Demons dig blondes."
