"Jon come on, I have class and those agents are coming today!" I yell as I walk down the hall to the kitchen in out large penthouse apartment. A few weeks ago a man named Hodge Starkweather, leader of the Circle, murdered our mother; Jocelyn. So the Clave, a secret organization meant to protect people, decided we needed babysitters, hence the agents. Apparently it's going to be 3 of them, one for me, one for Jon and one to take care of the apartment and all of the tech stuff.
"I don't see why we need babysitters. Can't we just tell them that we can protect ourselves." Jon said as he took a sip of his coffee before pulling himself up onto the counter, his legs swinging to attempt to kick me. My hand pulls back before connecting with his leg, slapping his thigh.
"NO JONATHAN. They know us as Clary and Jon Fairchild. No one knows of our relationship with Valentine. Clarissa and Jonathan Morgenstern do not make appearances unless our lives are at serious risk. Right now we are normal college kids who had a mother who pissed off the wrong people. Not trained assassins, agents, or spies. We aren't against these people. We work for the same side as them. This pair up wasn't just for our protection. We were paired with them because they need their backs watched as well. I spoke with Mama Maryse about this last week. They are in just as much danger as we are. So chill. We watch their backs while their to busy watching ours. Maryse doesn't want them knowing their lives are in danger just as much as ours." I reprimanded him as i poured myself a cup of coffee.
"Fine fine. I'll keep my mouth shut." That's when the doorbell rings. "Looks like the babysitters are here."
"Remember, we are Fairchild children, not Morgenstern's. We don't speak of it unless we know they can't hear us or see us." I walked to the front door and pulled it open. "Hi! I'm Clary! Please come in." I say probably sounding far too enthusiastic as I smiled. Moving to allow the two black haired teens as well as the golden boy to come inside. "As I said, I'm Clary, and that's Jon. We are very grateful for your help!" I try sounding actually grateful. "You must be Izzy." I looked at the girl, "which makes you Alec. The bio brother." I look at Alec, who seemed confused by what i meant when i said 'bio brother' then over to the golden boy, "And that makes you Jace, brother in every way besides blood." I smile innocently.
"Correct, they told you about us in that much detail?" Alec asked, clearly confused about how I knew so much about them before even meeting.
"Sorry! Yes, I spoke with Maryse, she wanted to be sure I was okay with being outnumbered, ya know? Two girls compared to three guys and all. I've had a bad past with the male population." I blush as I look over at Jon. I make my way back to the kitchen and sitting down at the table. "Make yourselves at home. And Izzy, feel free to do all your techy stuff!"
"Sorry my baby sister here can be a bit over the top." Jon laughed lightly, trying to excuse my 'know all attitude' "as she said I'm Jon. And from what I've been told Alec is shadowing me while Jace here gets stuck with Clare Bear." He smiled shyly at the three agents as they came over and sat at the table with us. "I promise she's not always like this, it's just the coffee." He laughed again. Then there was another knock at the door. I jump up and run back to the door and pull it open, I squeal and hug the man at the door. "Must be Simon." I could hear Jon tell the others, Simon is basically our Izzy, he does all the tech stuff for our missions.
"Hello love." Simon chuckled as he hugged me back. I pull away and grab his hand and dragged him to the kitchen. "Oh, who are these, odd looking people? Clare? Jon?" Simon asked as he seemed to be staring at Isabelle. Jace answered for us.
"Cousins just coming to visit for a while." His face never deterring from his 'resting bitch face' as I like to call it.
"Jace, shut up. Si these are the agents the Clave sent. Jace is my 'guard', while Alec is Jon's and Izzy is the behind the scenes tech gal." The three agents all looked at me like I was fucking crazy for telling him. "Si is safe, he already knew you were coming so why keep it from him?"
"Because he could want to kill you?" Izzy spoke for the first time.
"Simon wouldn't hurt a fly." A statement both true and false, he wouldn't hurt anyone but he was trained just as well as Jon and I, so if he needed to he could kill all three of these dimwits. "And Jace, if your meant to be with me at all times we gotta go! I've got class in like 30 minutes and I don't like to be late." I smile and I grab Jace's hand and pull him up from his seat at the table, Leaving the Lightwood's, Simon and Jon all sort of dumbfounded as they all sat at the table.
