But Abbotdon. (Maybe Rabbotdon?)

In Jack's POV.

Jack doesn't recognize the Frank that walks back in on the 4th of July. He's more muscular, less talkative, and eerily still. The Frank that returned reminded him of his fellow veterans: disciplined and haunted in a way that only experience could have honed.

He's suprised when Frank switches to Nights but doesn't stay there, switching every few weeks even when Robby returns from his sabbatical.

Frank's on Days when a new rotation of interns join them, and Jack watches as Magnus walks in, hair perfectly styled and eyeliner sharp as ever and manages to befriend the stranger that's returned wearing Frank's face and body. Because for all that Frank had come back, sober and humble and sharp as ever, he'd kept his distance from everyone. He didn't join any after work activity nor struck conversation about anyone's personal life. The most Jack had seen Frank talk without it revolving a patient or medicine in general was when he would catch Frank and Mel talk about the latter's personal life.

And then here comes this intern, and suddenly he's able to pull a proper smile from Robby's former golden boy? Magnus manages to get full conversations that have nothing to do with the Pitt or his cases or med school.

Jack watches, awed and frustrated (and jealous as fuck), when Frank casually throws an arm aroun Magnus's shoulders and invites him to join Frank for dinner. Post-shift. Just the two of them.

He's apparently not the only one shocked, because Robby's also clocked that the new intern's imprinted on Langdon like a little duck and he's the first one that Frank actually actively seeks out to hangout with outside of work. (Mel being the exception, of course.)

Unbeknownst to them, Frank had actually been found, rehabilitated, and retrained by his twin (and eventually the rest of the Lightwoods). With Izzy's own Yin Fen addiction and recovery, and Alec's refusal to lose any more of his family than he already has, and Frank's grief over Max's (and eventually Abby's) death, Frank had decided he was going to finish his residency at PTMC and look at the possibility of eithed moving to New York where Izzy was the Head of the Institute, or fully returning to become a Shadowhunter (maybe as a medic or something.)

And part of getting reacquainted with his family and the life he'd lived and lost was finding out that he had a missing brother-in-law. So imagine his surprise when said BIL walked into the Pitt one day, unaware that there was someone out there who'd spent the last five years looking for him.

Frank's unaware of Jack (and Robby's?) interest in him, and chalks up any additional attention by either attending as being due to his sobriety or a general lack of trust in him. Cue his surprise when Jack petulantly points out Frank's supposedly inappropriate relationship with Magnus when Frank declines yet another invitation for food or drinks post-shift.

Cue Jack (and everyone else) finding out that Abby and Tanner died during the 10 months he was gone, and Penny was in a coma all the way in New York (held in stasis thanks to magic and shadowhunter tech).

And no one had known.

Because no one had reached out while he was gone.

Mel had found out because she'd asked him to hangout while they both had a free day and caught Frank face timing his comatose daughter with Izzy's help. She'd kept his secret and become one of his closest friends since.

Magnus, who was already beginning to remember his life before going into med school, is quick to adapt and loop his arm with Frank's as they leave, with Frank unaware of the glare(s) that follow them (because who was this intern who thought he has any right over their Frank?)
