Magnus began to wonder whether it was possible for someone to get so furious that it struck them dumb with rage. Magnus could sense the anger coming from his husband's tense body, and so it seemed, could their sons who were now looking pointedly at the floor.
Max seemed to shrink back in to the fabric of the couch, as though if everybody's attention was on his brother they wouldn't notice him. Rafael sat up straight, flicking his unruly brown hair out of his eyes as he met his father's eyes defiantly. There were only a few times before Max had seen his Dad angry but never this furious.
Alec shook his head furiously.
The Lightwood Chronicles by Stephen Whigham
Magnus softened and conjured up a tissue and a first aid kit. Gently he knelt down beside the young warlock and dabbed his little blue face with the tissue, before bandaging up his arm. Rafael shuffled closer to his little brother, his eyes shifting warily around them as if expecting another attack.
He kept saying that he shouldn't be in the Institute training with us because he wasn't a Shadowhunter like me and you. Max looked up at his Papa tearfully, leaning into Rafael's side for support. Rafael looked up at Alec in astonishment.

And I'm glad you stuck up for your brother but if we used our fists all the time on ignorant people, we'd just get bloody knuckles. Rise above it and prove to yourself that you can be better than them. Alec stood up and ruffled Rafael's hair. Magnus led them out of the room towards the entrance of the Institute. They could always send a note to Clary and Jace later when they get home.
It was too late now to let them know in person as the sun outside had already begun to set on the busy city streets. A bright blue doorway appeared in front of them as Magnus conjured up a portal to their apartment in Brooklyn. They stepped through the portal and were greeted with a put out Chairman Meow who had started to become quite grumpy in his old age. Alec nudged the boys towards the bathroom. If you're quick, I might just put your Aunt Izzy's soup in the bin instead of making you eat it. Alec let himself smile a little. Magnus strode over to his husband and pressed a kiss to his cheek.
Alec turned and wrapped his arms around Magnus's waist, giving him a kiss with a smile. Trust me if I'd got hold of him, that kid's broken nose would be the least of his worries when he's sporting a horrible case of boils and an awful monobrow. Magnus looked up at his husband's weary face, which was slowly starting to show his age, if only a little bit through the crow's feet at the corners of his bright blue eyes.
Magnus knew what that look meant. Boys will be boys after all. It doesn't mean you're a bad parent. I was thinking about Max. And our boys are being put through that. What if Max grows to hate Shadowhunters? Besides, you and Rafael are Nephilim and he loves you both to pieces. Alec painted on a smile and told them both to set the table as if nothing had been worrying him at all. Magnus let go of Alec and picked up Chairman Meow, giving the feline a scratching under his whiskery chin. As Max began to conjure up plates and cutlery, Rafael walked up to Alec and wrapped his arms tightly around Alec's waist in a hug.
I'll be better, I promise. Alec softened as he held onto Rafael, remembering the time he had found Rafael growing up almost feral on the streets of Buenos Aires.

This chapter also features characters from the Mortal Instruments. Isabelle bustled about her brother with blood streaming down her cheek from a cut just above her left eyebrow and Simon grabbed every medical supply he could manage to hold. He tried to speak but the wound on his side made it difficult for him to even think.
He turned his head to the side and watched Simon limping around as he unwrapped bandages and sterilised implements. Jace knelt down on the other side of Alec, sweat pouring from his forehead and tore the remainder of Alec's shirt apart so that he could look at the wound. Jace glanced at Alec's face and gave him a tight smile. Just needs a couple of iratzes and you'll be back to normal. A throbbing pain flashed across his head and was almost blind with dizziness before his head fell back against the pillow, falling into unconsciousness as he went.

Jace felt the blood drain from his face as he turned to Isabelle. Clary was on the other side waiting for them beckoning them through the doors of the Inst itute. Magnus knelt down in front of the young warlock, who had not long turned five years old, and gave him a brave smile. I'm going to go help him. As soon as they were out of sight, Magnus ran to the elevator as fast as his legs could carry him and punched the button for the Infirmary. When he reached the infirmary doors and swung them open, Magnus's sight was met with the image of Alec's writhing body contorting on the cot as Simon, Jace and Isabelle tried to hold him down.
Magnus flitted to his lover's side and held his tensing hands in his, watching as Alec's eyes rolled back as his body spasmed. Sticking out of Alec's waist and completely surrounded by Alec's blood was a demon stinger the length of Magnus's hand. We think there's a barb on the end preventing it from coming out.
Magnus turned back to see Alec's mouth start to froth. Magnus snapped his fingers as his magic flew over Alec's body. The others let go with a gasp as Alec's body slowly started to calm down. We're going to need them. Jace, clean the blood around the wound away and get ready with your stele.

Bulletin of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, , Renal tubular acidosis RTA is a medical condition that involves an accumulation of acid in the body due to a failure of the kidneys to appropriately acidify the urine. The metabolic acidosis that results from RTA may be caused either by failure to reabsorb sufficient bicarbonate ions which are alkaline from the filtrate in the early portion of the nephron the proximal tubule or by insufficient secretion of hydrogen ions which are acidic into the latter portions of the nephron the distal tubule.
Although a metabolic acidosis also occurs in those with renal insufficiency, the term RTA is reserved for individuals with poor urinary acidification in otherwise well-functioning kidneys. Several different types of RTA exist, which all have different syndromes and different causes.
