Title: Change Rating: G Word count: 192 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: Clary is given a new partner. Set in the DeadAlive universe, where Clary and Mattes are FBI agents. Based on an X-Files quote.

My cell rings. I mumble something at Henderson, and pick it up. And there’s the difference – Mattes would have figured what was going on. Henderson looks bewildered, until he realises I’m answering my cell.
Or maybe I’m just impatient. Maybe these kind of partnerships take time. Mattes and I didn’t work well together on our first few cases. It took time, patience, and a lot of mistakes and bruised toes. And a one-night stand, though that’s another story.
“Goodwin,” I say. I’m not sure I recognise the number.
“Hi,” And then I do recognise the voice at the other end of the line. “My name is Matthias Tunstall, but my friends call me Mattes. We used to sit next to each other at the FBI.”
I’m not quite aware of when I started smiling.
“Mattes, you idiot,” I say, “Don’t you have work to do?”
“I got interested in the case Henderson’s picked you up for,” he answers. I think he’s got that slow, easy smile on his face again. “Why don’t you let me do a little background check for you?”
Some things never change, I think.
I hope they won’t.
