You didn't feel pity. You didn't feel anything.

[ The voice in the memory is Clary's, angry and hurt and confused all at once. It blurs and shifts around her as though she's tried to block it out but the more time goes, the more solid the details become. They are in a room that comes straight out of a museum. Panneled walls and torches, an endlessly long dining table, mirrors that caught fire and glittered. It's old fashioned and old money and Clary looks out of place within it, dirty as she is. ]

That's enough, Clary! [ This time the voice is Jace's and Clary shifts enough to stare at him, horror clear on her features. As though a contrast to her, he is clean and healthy looking in his white shirt and pants, his gold hair scrubbed clean of the usual demon blood. ] Don't talk about my father like that.

He's not your father!

[ The outburst makes Jace look as though he's been slapped, disbelief filtering through his voice. ] Why are you so determined not to believe us?

Because she loves you. [ The new voice is smooth, empowered. The man who speaks has silver hair that gleams like a steel helmet and a mouth that is settled in a hard line. The sword at his waist is long and imposing. He looks every inch the law. Or whatever brand of law can be found in a place like this. ] She fears I am taking advantage of you. That I have brainwashed you. It isn't so, of course. If you looked into your own memories, Clary, you would know it. Sit down, Jonathan. Let her come to it on her own.

Jonathan? Did you lie about that too?

No. Jace is a nickname. It's my initials. J.C.

[ When she speaks, Clary sounds frightened and though she is ill. ] Jonathan. Jonathan Christopher.

[ When Jace moves to speak, to ask her how she knows that, he is cut off once more by Valentine. ]

Jace, I had thought to spare you. I thought a story of a mother who died would hurt you less than the story of a mother who abandoned you before your first birthday.

My mother is alive?

She is. Alive, and asleep in one of the downstairs rooms at this very moment. Yes. Jocelyn is your mother, Jonathan. And Clary - Clary is your sister.

They're all weird. Sometimes terrible. This is a bit of both. And you?
hexuality: (kept to the dark; upper lip)

I'm sorry. We haven't got to talk about it.
hexuality: (trust; smiling certainty)

Call me if you need anything, alright, Clary?
