Other Gargoyles-verse: Hospital: Checking Up

[elisa-garg.livejournal.com]

The ability to travel freely and unmolested in the modern world was a new enough concept to be novel to Goliath.  For Elisa, it was nearly heartbreaking.  She'd lost this world.  She held no reservations about the fact that she'd become a Gargoyle.  Though she had lost much, her relationship with Goliath, the Clan, and the lives she'd help save more than made up for it.

All the same, being able to simply walk through a human hospital and get only the occasional odd glance (some of which was no doubt due to their resemblance to the very human Goliath and Elisa Maza of this world), was a miracle indeed.

"Hope ah, Lex is okay..." Elisa said.

"I believe," Goliath said, "that she would like you to hold her."

Elisa just shook her head. "We've got the egg now. And we're going to raise it right. Might not be what we expected, but I'd say it all worked out."

His face lightened as he walked over to accept his adopted grandchild, then broke into a smile as she threw her little arms around his neck and hugged him with a croon of delight.

Then he looked up and nodded. "You're right. And strangely, it is the things that we don't expect that change our lives in ways that we would never willingly give up."

"Yights." Chelsea pointed toward the ceiling.

"I hear that," Elisa replied, before looking up to see just what Chelsea was pointing at.

"What in the...." muttered Hudson as the others also looked and spied what looked like a heat shimmer in the corner nearest Lex's bed.

Goliath scowled and held Chelsea protectively, then offered her to his twin with intent of going over and investigating the unknown thing. "Hudson, Emily, stay back."

Emily just scowled and put herself between the shimmer and the bed.

Elisa handed Peter to Goliath as well, and her mate wrapped his wings about his body protectively as he took a step back. Elisa, meanwhile, also approached the bed, ready for whatever came.

Goliath approached the corner cautiously and scowled up at the odd thing, then pulled out his gun and stood on his toes to poke at it.

Nothing happened.

"Hmm." He settled back, eyes narrowing in thought.

"I'd say it was magic... but you guys don't have any anymore..."

"Yes...." He examined his gun and brushed at the tiny motes of shimmer that clung to it, then watched them float up to join the rest of the shimmer. His brow furrowed.

"Alright, here's Lex's blankets." Lucy walked in with a large cotton laundry bag, only to drop it in surprise as the shimmer suddenly moved with lightening speed and vanished into it. "What???"

"What the hell?"

The tiny mutate stared down at the 20 pound bag of laundry as it seemed to sink into itself slightly, her muzzle wrinkling into a slight snarl.

"Lucy, lass, step ye away," said Hudson, his brow furrowed with concern as he prayed.

Goliath just watched, his gun held loosely but at the ready.

Elisa readied herself for whatever came, her fists clenching and unclenching, her tail twitching slightly.
