"I still don't understand how can Shadowhunters be better than what you people call mundanes" Clary asked. "Because we protect humans" Izzy said.

"You're right" Clary said sighing before facing everyone. "Humans you protect humans you left Simon all alone in the van good job guys you rock" Clary said.

"Hey newbie you might wanna cool it before I come over there and tear you apart" Kelsey told Clary.

"There is some truth to the idea that human beings should have a modicum of common sense" Alec said. "Alec not now" Izzy said.

"Look they won't do anything to Simon they just wanted to draw you out they want the cup, and they think you have it" Jace said.

"Why do they think that why does anyone think that" Clary asked.

"What my mom lies to me my entire life except oh by the way there's this magic cup I hid on like the planet bongo but don't tell anyone" Clary said. "Are you done now" Kelsey asked annoyed.

"What am I supposed to do now" Clary asked sighing. "We have to report to the Clave" Alec said. "Great" Jace said. "They have to know what we've learned about Valentine" Alec said.

"What that he's my father great fine tell them" Clary said. "What good does that do Simon" Clary asked.

"Clary it's all connected the banks want the cup" Jace said. "Why" Clary asked.

"It makes new Shadowhunters" Clary said. "Nobody wants Valentine forming an army loyal to himself" Alec said.

"Plus, it controls demons" Izzy said. "They'll propose a trade your precious mundane for the cup" Kelsey said.

"So, vampires will trade Simon for the cup and Valentine will trade my mother for the cup either way I lose someone I love" Clary said.

"What if I just toss it up in the air and let them fight it out among themselves" Clary asked.

"So, this doesn't matter to you" Alec asked. "Yes of course it matters" Clary told Alec.

"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" Clary said. "It's true she was raised as a mundane" Izzy said.

"What are you her spokesman now" Alec asked. "I don't need a spokesman I need a plan" Clary said.

"Uh look at all this stuff these screens I mean can any of this help me find Simon where is he anyway some kind of crypt in Transylvania" Clary asked.

"Actually, no that was Camille's outfit right they're locals" Jace said. "They're at the hotel Dumort down in Gansevoort Street" Izzy said.

"And we came back here why" Clary asked. "We have to go there let's go now come on" Clary said.

"Wow slow down newbie" Kelsey said. "We need a Clave resolution for that" Alec said. "The five of us can't declare war on the vamps all by ourselves" Izzy said.

"And we can't react without considering our options downworlders are slaves to their impulses we're not" Alec said.

"Alec you can't just jump on all the downworlders" Izzy said. "Oh, that's right Seelies have their charms apparently" Alec said. "Right" Jace said.

"Seelies" Clary asked. "Like fairies the fair folk and pixies nixies elves" Kelsey said.

"Anybody half angel half demon it's pretty much a catch all term" Jace said. "Izzy can tell you all about them she's got a thing" Alec said.
