Chapter Text
2016- New York
A few years had passed since the battle against the fairies and the cohort. And finally, things were getting back to normal, or in this case the new normal. Since they couldn't get back to Idris and the alliance was what brought them all together.
It all started as a normal day in the Lightwood-Bane household, life couldn't be more perfect. They were married and raising two wonderful kids. It took time but now Rafael, or what they called him Rafe, could now speak English and understand what was surrounding him. Max was learning magic from Magnus. Magnus and Alec were always supporting and finding new and better ways to change the world.
The routine they had created for their family worked so well for them, it was unusual for something to go wrong. But if it did, they would always find a solution. Alec was making breakfast and Rafe was barely awake, he was a very heavy sleeper.
"Max, are you ready for your lesson?" Magnus said.
Today Magnus was going to teach him about portals and how they were useful and practice how to do small ones.
"Yes! I'm ready I've always to make one!" Max was very excited as always to learn.
Magnus smiled so warmly, He suddenly had the urge to show all of his old friends how proud he was of his little kid. What would Will say about his family or how would the marry thieves think or the modern kids like the blackthorn kids, kit and Mina, and the beautiful and reckless Emma Carstairs. If only there was a way he could talk to them but it was impossible and he knew it, a useless daydream he had everything he ever wanted a beautiful family and friends that cared about him and were always there for him, and Tessa and Jem were still around for him.
Magnus shook his head snapping out of the daydream he said with a smile, "The spell is called viae ostium and you have to move your hand clockwise, like this"
He should have expected that something was going to go wrong but wholeheartedly he didn't this is what happens when you mix magic with emotions, but as soon as he did the spell a bright light swoop them up and Magnus reached for Max while hearing Alec and Rafe also being roped in, bracing themselves to this new and terrifying adventure.
In Manhattan, a train away from the apartment, there was the Institute. Runed by Clary and Jace, where also Isabelle and Simon lived. They were having their morning training routine when the same incandescence light sucked them up, clueless of what was happening.
And the same thing happened on the west coast in the Los Angeles Institute. When the whole Blackthorn family was greeting the return of Ty from the Scholomance just for vacation. There was also Cristina and Emma who were currently inhabitants of the Institute. And in the dining room, the whole family got transported into the blazing light above them.
And lastly, the light absorbed Tessa, Jem, Kit, and Mina who were living in England all across the pond. It seemed that every person who Magnus thought of appeared to be transporting into that light but where was it taking them.
When the light blinked out all 21 people fell to the floor in a prestigious and luxurious room it was enormous and familiar somehow. But since they were falling and name-calling they failed to realize that they weren't alone in that Victorian-era ballroom.
"What happened?" Jace asked. That seemed to be a common question around them, some were still happy to be reunited, some.
Magnus was about to respond but he heard behind someone clearing his throat and they all whirled around more confused than ever but the shock in the face of three of these people was clear. Tessa stepped forward with her hand covering her mouth and watery eyes.
"Will?"
