At the Institute
The five Shadowhunters walk inside the Institute.
"I still don't understand. How can Shadowhunters be better than what you guys call mundanes?"asks Clary "Because we protect humans"answers Izzy "You're right. Humans. You protect humans. You left Simon all alone in the van. Great job, guys. You rock"says Clary frustrated"You do know that if we didn't bring him with us, there could be no problem. Right?"says Piper "She's right. Humans beings should have a modicum of common sense"says Alec "Alec, Piper, not now"says Izzy looking from them to Clary "Look, they won't do anything to Simon. They just want to draw you out. They want the Cup, and they think you have it"says Jace calmly "But why does they think that? Why does anyone think that? What, my mom lies to me my entire life except, 'Oh, by the way, there's this magical cup, I hid on, like, the planet Bongo, but don't tell anyone'"says Clary "Well, for starters I don't think that they know that she lied to you"says Piper "What an I supposed to do now?"asks Clary looking at Jace "We have to report to the Clave. They have to know we've learned about Valentine"says Alec "What, that he's my father? Great. Fine. Tell them"says Clary "To be specific. He's our father"adds Piper "Wait. What?"says Clary confused "Oh. Right. Your mother left me at our burned down house. We're sisters"says Piper faking enthusiasm "What? No, she wouldn't do that"says Clary "Well, she did. Although, she probably thought that I died. Like Valentine. "says Piper whispering the last part
Piper looked at the floor. Alec noticed this and put his hand on her back to comfort her. Even though she might seem like she doesn't care about that, she feels sad that she didn't have chance to grow up with her real mother.
"Can we get back to the mundane?"asks softly Piper
Everyone looks at her for a second before returning to the conversation.
"So, what does telling your bosses have to do with Simon?"asks Clary "Clary, it's all connected. The vamps want the Cup"answers Jace "Why? It makes new Shadowhunters"asks Clary confused"Nobody wants Valentine forming an army loyal to himself"says Alec "Plus, it controls demons"adds Izzy "They'll propose a trade. Simon for the Cup"says Jace "So, vampires will trade Simon for the Cup and Valentine will trade my mother for the Cup. Either way, I lose someone I love. What if I just toss it up in the air and let them fight it out among themselves"says Clary "So this doesn't matter to you?"Piper says growing slightly angry with her new found sister "Yes, of course, it matters!"says Clary "Listen, when you saved my life, I put my trust in you. Now, I need you to put your trust in me. I can't turn into what you are overnight"says Clary looking at Jace then at all of them "It's true. She was raised as a mundane"says Izzy "And whose fault is that?"says ironically Piper "What are you, jer spokesman now?"Alec asks Izzy ignoring Piper's comment "I don't need a spokesman, I need a plan"says Clary
Clary walks away from the group and into the ops. She gestures to the computers.
"Look at all this stuff, these screens. I mean, can any of this help me find Simon? Where is he, anyway? Some kind of crispy in Transylvania?"says Clary
The five of them gather around a table.
"No. That was Camille's outfit, right? There locals"says Piper "They're at the Hotel DuMort, down in Gansevoort Street"says Izzy "And we came back here? Why? We have to go there. Let's go, now. Come on"says Clary wanting to leave "We need a Clave resolution for that"says Alec "The five of us can't declare war on the vamps all by ourselves"says Piper "And we can't react without considering our options. Downworlders are slaves to their impulses. We're not"says Alec "Alec, you cant stomp on all the Downworlders"defends Izzy "Oh, that's right. Seelies have their charms, apparently"teases Alec "Right"agrees Jace with a smirk "'Seelies?"asks Clary "Like faeries. The Fair Folk add pixies, nixies, elves... anybody half-angel, half-demon. It's pretty much a catch-all term"explains Jace "Izzy can tell you all about them. She's got a thing"says Alec "We've all got our things, don't we?"teases Izzy "Okay, I can't listen to this. Simon's been kidnapped by vampires. I guess, I'll just take care of it by myself"says Clary
