Recap:
Will nodded and took one last look out the window. He put his arm around Jem's shoulder and Jem did the same to Will. Together, as parabatai, they walked back to the others who were waiting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

When Jem and Will came back, Zachariah was telling a story. The duo heard some familiar names such as their own, but they also the names such as Lucie and Cordelia and Matthew.  As they opened the door, he was finishing up.

". . .Tessa and I are still here." Will and Jem shared a look. Was Zachariah someone they knew?

"Hello. We're back." Will said. "Now, what were you saying?" Tessa looked up and shared an all-knowing look with Zachariah again.

"Jem, Will, come with me. There is something I have to tell you two." The boys followed Tessa the hallway and exchanged a confused look.  Taking a deep breath, Tessa began.

"I don't know how this worked out. I don't ever remember you two leaving to go to New York, but this still happened. Will, Jem, your on the future. The year is 2009 and, I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. You two are stuck here until Magnus and I can find a way to get the both of you back to your proper time."

Tessa checked her watch. "It's half past midnight, we should all be going to bed. Oh! And by the way, Zachariah and I told the others about your pasts and futures. Sorry, but they had to know. I'll have Alec tell you where your rooms are.

"This are some spare rooms. Tessa and Zachariah are next door if you need anything." Alec said. Will went onto his room, and Jem his.

Jem gently placed his yin fen box on the bedside table. He leaned his cane against the beds post and studied the room. There was a window across from the door, and a dresser across from the bed. It looked a lot like his own bed from his own time.

Taking out his violin from it's case, he examined it. The hinges didn't squeak as he lifted the cover. He smiled, rested his chin on the violin, and began to play.

Jem played about his love for Tessa.
He played about his bond with Will.
He played about his life- a bittersweet song.

When he opened his eyes. Tessa was standing by the door.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. It's was just soon pretty."

"It's alright. Wow. Déjà vu much?" Jem said.

Tessa laughed. "Wow. It really is. All we need is Will t-"

"Evening Tessa, James." Will stated as he walked towards the pair.

Tessa smirked triumphantly. "I rest my case. I'm going to go to bed. Nice music Jem."

"What? That ghostly wail? It sounded more like a banshee to me." Will said, teasing Jem again.

"Oh, shut up."

"Well, since I have graced you all with my presence, I will leave."

"You never cease too amaze me with your stupidity. You know that, right?" Jem said as he put his violin back in its case.

"Oh yee of little faith." With a final smirk, Will left Jem alone with only his violin as comfort.

Jem put his beloved instrument on the bedside table and lay in bed. Many thoughts bounced around in his head as he lay there in the dark. The silence was welcomed and cherished.

♠♥♣♦

Will woke up to the loud sound of traffic. He bolted out of bed, the unfamiliar sound flooding his senses. Oh, right. The future. He thought. He looked around the room for something to wear. At the foot of his bed, there were folded clothes and a note.

Will,
These are some clothes to wear. The pants are called jeans and the top is a T-shirt. Tessa and I are down the hall if you need us.
-Zachariah

Pulling the odd clothes on, he folded his clothes from his time and put it on the nightstand. Looking in the mirror, he looked odd. The clothes were so simple, not something a gentleman should wear.

There was knock and the door. Jem came in, wearing strange clothes too. A blue T-shirt and jeans. His silver hair was in his face, as always. He looked at Will.

"I see your up. We should go down breakfast. The others are waiting."

Will was about to say something, when a thought crossed his mind.

"How much of it do you have left?"

"Wh-" Understanding crossed Jem's eyes. "The box only has enough for a for a day or two more. I don't even know where Tessa got it or how it even had some left."

Will looked crestfallen. Jem had an even shorter time on this earth.

"C'mon Will. We can go get some food then train." Will nodded and followed his Parabatai put the door and into the dining room.

Magnus, Tessa, Zachariah, Simon, Izzy, Jace, Alec, and Clary where there. There were two empty seats, one by Tessa and the other by Alec. Will, being nice to Jem, let him sit next to Tessa. Taking a seat near Alec, Will started to eat. There was eggs and pancakes on the tabled and Will gladly took them.

"So, after breakfast, I was wondering if you wanted to do some training." Clary said while pouring a glass of orange juice. "It'll be cool to see if you two know any moves."

"That would be nice." Jem said.

"Are you two Parabatai?" Simon asked.

Will nodded. "Yes. I challenged Jem to a sword duel. I won, so he had to agree. Jem was disappointed about my victory though."

"My Parabatai is Clary. Jace is with Alec too." Simon stated with a hint of pride.

"A Lightwood with a Herondale? What has this world come to? What am I going to learn next? Is Zachariah secretly someone I grew up with?" Will said dramatically. Tessa squirmed in her seat, but Will took no notice.

Clary cleared her throat. "So. . . Wanna go to training?"

"Sure." With that, the seven teens went to the training room. Will goggled the shining seraph blades. Jem picked up a knife and tossed it in his hand to get the feel of it. Jace, noticing this, challenged him to a contest. Shrugging, Jem agreed.

"Try to beat the fabulous master." Jace said with a smirk as he threw the first knife.

Thwack!

It hit on the edge of the bullseye. Will whistled lowly.

"You're going to have to do better that that if you want to beat James."

Jem, in response, threw his knife and it hit in the very center of the target.

The contest went on till each boy had thrown three knives each. Jace had thrown two on the edge of the bullseye and one on the second ring. Jem, on the other hand, had thrown them all in the bullseye.

"Who's the master now?" Will boasted.

"C' mon Will. I'm just good because that's all I did at the Shanghai Institute."

"You grew up in China?" Izzy asked.

Jem nodded. "My mother was chinese and my father was from Britain."

"Oh that's cool. Why did you move to-" Jace was cut of by Tessa bursting into the room.

"Jem, Will, we have a problem. It's the Infernal Devices. They're back."
