Title: Ghost Rating: G Word count: 249 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: Beka doesn’t think Mattes is dead. Set in the DeadAlive universe, where Mattes and Clary and Beka are all FBI agents.
-
Ever since the funeral – ever since we’ve learned Mattes is dead, Clary’s been turning into a ghost. Nyler stopped me the other day in the bullpens and told me point-blank that he’s afraid of what Clary’s been doing to herself.
I’m afraid.
Clary’s the strongest one around, the toughest, and the fiercest. If Mattes’ death is doing this to her, if Mattes’ death has created this new fragility to her – what can happen to the rest of us, if even the strongest can break like this?
I’m feeding the pigeons, as I always do, before and after work. Stepping into the small dust-spinners that the wind sometimes whips up in the city. These are all small, and can only carry hints of voices to me, before the winds die. But the voices of the dead are loud and clear, carried by the pigeons.
I feed them. I listen, and I wait, in fear and anticipation, for Mattes’ voice.
There is silence.
And while I know it was just a guess, just a wild shot in the dark…I think Mattes is alive. I think that if he died, he’d speak to me from a pigeon. He wouldn’t be able to rest, seeing what Clary is doing to herself. He wouldn’t be able to go on to the Peaceful Realms until he knows she is well.
But the pigeons are silent. None of them carry the voice I am listening for.
And then I know then, that Mattes must be alive.

Eee, total awesomeness! And now I'm intrigued as to whether or not anyone knows he's alive!
