Chapter 5:
"You're telling us they are clones?" Jocelyn said, incredulously, staring at Vincent and Valiant.
"Where did they come from?" Luke inquired.
"They..." Clary began before realizing she didn't actually know where they came from. Clary turned to Vincent and Valiant. "Where did you come from? I don't think you ever told us," she asked.
"We're from Canada," Vincent replied.
Of the two Vincent seemed to be the more outgoing.
"So let me get this straight. You two are clones of Valentine and some scientist guy hid you in Canada," Jocelyn sought clarification.
"Yes," Vincent affirmed.
"Then what made you come here now?" Jocelyn questioned.
"We wanted to meet you. We just found out we were clones a few week ago. Dr. Von Clyde told us just before he died," Valiant explained.
"How did he die?" Luke queried.
"Skin cancer," Valiant answered, curtly.
Everybody was quiet for a minute. Obviously the death of the doctor was hard on Valiant.
"So… what do you guys do around here for fun?" Vincent asked, trying to put an end to the awkward silence.
"Kill demons, go to the occasional downworlder party, fight an evil villain once in a while. You know, the usual," Jace answered somewhat sarcastically.
"Jace," Clary admonished. "We go to the beach sometimes, or portal to an amusement park."
"Make out," Jace added.
"Jace!" Clary scolded, as a hint of red touched her cheeks.
Jocelyn glared at Jace briefly before shifting her gaze back to Vincent and Valiant.
"Did you guys always know you were shadowhunters?" Jocelyn questioned.
"Yes, Dr. Von Clyde had a shadowhunter friend who taught us how to fight demons," Vincent explained.
"Dr. Von Clyde was friends with a shadowhunter? Didn't he try to hide you guys away from all that?" Jace inquired.
"Marcus became a friend of Dr. Von Clyde before the doctor changed his name. Marcus was one of Valentine's minions. Marcus was responsible for guarding Dr. Von Clyde while he was figuring out how to make clones, and they became friends," Vincent told them.
"What was Dr. Von Clyde's name before Dr. Von Clyde?" Luke asked.
"Dr. Stein," Valiant answered.

With V & S dead and gone
Shadowhunter lives are peaceful and long.
But that's just boring,
So to add some spice,
Let's bring villains back,
Cause they're rather nice!
