(Context: you and Alec had been friends since you came from Idris three years ago, to the new york institute after your parents where exiled, you had an older brother named Brennan who came to the institute with you, with valentines return and the reappearance of the circle the new york institute and a few of the surrounding cities institutes had sent out crews to station around the city where they thought valentine might be heading.)

You and Alec were just coming back from breakfast, as you step into the institute you see people walking towards the main hall, Hodge, and a few of the older hunters where standing above the staircase. It was a daily briefing, nothing out of the ordinary.

You and Alec join Jace, Izzy, and Clary who are standing at the side of the room leaning against the wall.

You were all barely listening as one of the older hunters updated all the statistics and daily notices until Hodge stepped up.

“We have just received updates from the outpost set up on the eastern border of the city” Hodge spoke, your eyes immediately flicked to him, that was where your brother was stationed.

“The outpost was attacked last night by a horde of lesser demons, there were only three deaths.” He spoke, your heart clenched, you hoped desperately that your brother was okay, Alec had noticed your expression and clenched fists and shot you a sideways glance

“Cole Broad, Dean Jackson, Brennan Prior”
