Surprisingly, Amanda Waller agreed to give me a job. I tried to look as professional as possible, I brushed my long locks for hours and tried to make it look less ratted ; using bobbypins to pin it in twists and braids intertwined in my ponytail.  I wore black leather pants and my green jacket with pockets hidden inside for weapons. I didn't know how to shoot a gun, but a seraph blade will do.
    You never know what could happen. Especially with a powerful lady like Amanda Waller. It didn't help my conscious that when Harley first meet Amanda that she thought she was the devil.

Amanda Waller agreed to meet me at a Chinese restaurant. Fixing my hair had took hours and now I was running late. Great way to start a good impression Lydia. Maybe she'll be angry and do something to you now. I mean, the woman's afraid of no one. I begin sprinting down the highway, then I heard a "Gah!"

Crap.

I ran into someone, I'm so clumsy.

"Sorry," I mutter.

"It's cool," the voice replies "I'm in a rush Joker-"
Oh my God. I bumped into Ianthe. She was right in front of me, my baby sister.
The last time I had seen her, her blonde hair was in pigtails, she wore thick framed glasses, a retainer, and strawberry lipgloss.
Now you couldn't even tell.
Wow, puberty!
Her blonde hair was in curls, she wore auburn contacts, and a crop top which exposed how much her breasts have grown ( the top use to be Harley's so at least that hasn't changed.)

"Anyway," she continued "Jokers' chasing me down because I left his no good sorry butt, I mean I am NOT his property, ya know?! He's either my property or he's nothing to me, so,-"

"Ianthe.....how could you take Harley's love?" I question.

"How could you NOT realize that Harley was boring him," she snapped.

"Don't blame Harley! And if you keep sleeping around you're goofy to get pregnant just like-" I snap, gosh Ianthe was such a drama queen. It's about time she grew up.

"Ok hold it," she yelled "I would never sleep with Joker...NO! Wait who's pregnant?"

"Harley," I whisper. Ianthes' face crumbled. Her dark lips turned into a frown, her eyes full of concern, and she looked as if she was about to break down. She was hiding her feelings. But what? "I shouldn't have told you that, it's not my secret and it didn't sound right either, Harley doesn't sleep around,-"

"Hey!" Ianthe held up a hand " I have the right to know , she's my sister. And I get it. Harley's.....I've always wanted to be like her. When my kindergarten teacher asked me what I wanted to be, I said Harley. Everyone loves Harley and she always wanted to make everyone happy,...everyone except herself. Why do you think I use't to wear my hair in pigtails?!" She let out a little forced chuckle.

  "Ianthe...if you told her this,-" it would solve this whole feud between them.

"No! I better go, good luck with Life," then she was gone before I could say another word.

I can understand wanting to be a superhero or a celebrity. Ianthe didn't want to be any of those people, she wanted to be like her big sister, Harley.
  In 9th grade Ianthe wore her hair in pigtails everyday, This was around the time Harley had just met Joker. Now it all made sense.
Dad also had a part in this. Mom was always raising Barrys' kids and keeping them feed and buying them toys, while raising Harley and I and teaching us good morals, while she was also trying to help Matt survive middle school. With all this going on, I don't think mom remembered Ianthe. So dad raised her. Dad probably told her a bunch of wild stupid stuff and she believed him. Anytime mom and da shot into a fight, Ianthe would take dads side and snap at mom.
   When Harley first brought Joker home, Ianthe stared asking when she could have a boyfriend. Mom told her to wait until she was older, and dad told her that I'd she wants one that she has to show off. To this day, I can't believe dad told her that.
    Since then, Ianthes been wanting to borrow all our clothes. I assume since Harley had a physco boyfriend (who dad liked), then she thought that if she was alike Harley then she'd get a boyfriend. Ianthe wanted to be like Harley, but then she wanted to replace Harley. Because dad liked Joker and Ianthe craved to be loved.
    But I know that if Harley knew about this that she'd forgive Ianthe. I also know that Ianthe would help that baby in any way she could. If only those two would open up to each other.

  I couldn't worry about sisters right now because I have to worry about myself.
 
  "You're late," Amanda Waller spoke as she put down her menu. I didn't know how to respond. Barry would tell her to shut up, Harley would say So what?!, Matt would apologize and make an excuse, Ianthe would snap her fingers and say I'm never late, you're just early! My siblings had the guts to say all these things. All i did was freeze and sit beside her.

   I begin to try and apologize to Amanda Waller but she cut me off.
  
    "I don't want to hear any excuse," she paused " Mrs. Branwell," she continued. I winced. Branwell. Eugene. My prince.

  And I now pronounce you Mr. And Mrs. Branwell.
  
I hold it all back, no reason to give this woman something she could (and would) use against me.

"Yes?" I mutter.

"I don't know if you're aware, but a bunch of people want to kill me,"

  "Um....mrs.waller, I'm not an assassin,...I-"

"Of course you're not! You're a shadowhunter," she stated.

  "Yes, I was," I tell her.

" well girl, there's no was to it, if you want a job then you are one. Anyway, I need new headquarters, to reinforce my power,"

"You sound like Ianthe," I mumble with a grin. Ianthe loved power.

"Pardon?" She asks with a death glare.

"Nothing....continue...um new headquarters; where were you thinking?" I question, trying to sound interested.

  "The New York Institute,"

"But the Lightwoods run the institute,"

"That's where you come in," she snapped " you're going to go undercover as a member of the Clave and take over  the Institute, once you have it, the you hand it over to me," she smirked, waiting for my response.

  "But-"

" no questions girl!" She snapped again. Her bark is so bad, that I fear her bite. "Kill the Lightwoods' so whatever you have to do, to get that Institute. You work for me now, so you do as I say," she grinned; sly as a fox that woman was "go get em' girl!"
