The Mortal Instruments: Into Idris
~post-City of Bones (the events of both the movie & the 1st book), Jonathan Morgenstern & Jasmine Katriora Wayland go to Idris on Valentine's orders. They are to gain the trust of Clary & Jace, respectively, enough to steal the Mortal Cup before it's put into The Gard in Alicante for safekeeping. Basically if the 1st 3 books were combined/fast tracked~

"You look beautiful," Jonathan whispered to her, eyes watching who was coming and going.
"Yeah, you too," Jas muttered. She and Jonathan had fucked once, a week & a half ago. She'd assumed he was a mundane. Then they'd dueled when he revealed that he was actually Nephilim, son of the man who had tried to kill Downworlders far and wide. Jonathan had won, & then he told her he understood how it was to be a Nephilim who hunted alone. His father was a man blinded by hatred. When it was time, Jonathan would kill him. But before that, he and Jas deserved to get their revenge on the Clave.
"I see them. Father was right--the golden blond one stands out," he said bitterly. Jas kept her thoughts about his jealousy to herself and led the way over to the four teenagers: two who shared the same frowns & dark hair, a girl who was without runes, & the blond who had to be Jace not-exactly-Morgenstern (Valentine's other "son")...her target.
"Hi, I don't think I've seen you before. I'm Jasmine Silverhand & this is Sebastian Ashwinder--we live in his parents' manor house in the country," she explained, easily remembering the fake names they'd chosen. It wasn't hard. Jonathan was like a snake, clever & swift. She, being a Wayland, was used to working metals with her hands. Unlike her, her partner found it much easier to smile amongst the enemy.
"I think I'd remember you," he said with a charming drawl, but it was directed towards Clarissa Morgenstern, the one whose trust he was supposed to focus on earning. She was the only one who could pull the Mortal Cup out of the card, after all.
