AU Jonathan & Clary

Jonathan had always enjoyed training, although he enjoyed the actual fighting even more. It got his adrenaline going and for a Shadowhunter that was a marvelous source of extra strength. He'd invited his little sister to join him this day. They'd trained when they were younger but hadn't for a while and he wanted to see how well she was doing. He'd observed it, of course. But one on one sparring gave a better idea of how the other really was in battle.

All the better to protect her if he knew what she was doing wrong.

He'd always been a little cocky about his own skills. You weren't born and raised from a couple of the greatest Shadowhunters without some of it being passed down the family bloodlines. Clary was skilled too, of course, but he thought sometimes that she concentrated too much on her art and the runes and not on the actual fighting.
