In the New York institute, Izzy walks into Aldertree's office with a timid look on her face. Aldertree turns at the creek of his offices door opening. He smirks at the sight of the female Lightwood.
"Ah, Isabelle. A welcome reprieve from work." He says to her and she nods.
"Before I move out on mission, I would like to get a refill for..." Izzy trails off, almost too ashamed to say the words.
"Yin fen." Aldertree finishes making Isabelle nod. "You're using as directed?"
"Absolutely. A little goes a long way." Izzy's hand is shaking violently and when she notices it, grabs it with her other hand. "One more thing. Clary would like to join the mission to the Citadel." Izzy adds making Aldertrees eyebrows scrunch in confusion.
"But she's not trained." He states.
"Alisha and I will keep an eye on her." She assures.
"You and Clary have grown close. How well do you really know her?"Aldertree takes another tin of yin fen from the box on top of his fireplace.
"Pretty well." Izzy says, eyeing the box now on the fireplace.
"She's Valentine's daughter. And the Clave, they've expressed their concern that Valentine may have experimented on Clary. Injected her with demon blood as well." Izzy shakes her head in denial.
"There's no way." She comments.
"You grew up with Jace. Never suspected he had demon blood." He says and then continues after a breath. "I will grant your request." Isabelle hums, knowing he's going to continue. "But I'm gonna need you to report back to me everything Clary says and does."
"You're asking me to spy on Clary?" Izzy asks in disbelief. Aldertree, not saying a single word, places the tin of yin fen on the table in front of them both.
Clary walks through the institutes ops centre as she talks into her phone to her vampire friend Simon.
"Wait, what? You moved your stuff back to the boat basin?" Clary asks confused
"Turns out being a vampire who only drinks blood doesn't jive really well with a Jewish mother who's always trying to feed you." Simon replies over the phone.
