Title: Bruises Rating: PG Word count: 211 Pairing: Clary/Mattes Round/Fight: 4/A Summary: Mattes takes a fall. Clary is concerned. Set in the DeadAlive universe, where Clary and Mattes are FBI agents. Based on a quote from Darths and Droids.
-
The dangerous thing about searching these old buildings is that structural integrity isn’t great. That’s why a lot of these old factories are condemned and blocked off, but when all available evidence suggests that your perp has gone in there, then any agent or cop who’s worth his pay is going in after them.
All of which means that I shouldn’t have been surprised that I took a fall when the floor gave way, but I still am.
“Mattes!” Clary is shouting. She peers cautiously over the edge of what looks like a slightly-bigger-than-Mattes-sized hole in the flooring, and shines her light down into the gap, through the broken floorboards. “Are you alright?”
And if that’s not a lot of worry, concern, maybe even fear in her voice, then I’m a dog. “Yeah,” I respond, after a great deal of coughing. It’s dusty down here, and everywhere aches, but as I move gingerly, stretching and testing out my limbs, I don’t think I’ve broken anything. Damned lucky. “I’m okay. My bruises broke my fall.”

Ahaha, 'my bruises broke my fall'. Poor Mattes! Also, the description of the hole as slightly-bigger-than-Mattes-sized cracks me up.
