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.

Hudson looked up at her blankly, obviously overwhelmed past the ability to speak.

"Some of the blankets seem to be gone." Goliath knelt next to the laundry bag and scattered the contents.

Lucy watched him, forcing herself to take deep breaths as she held the baby protectively. "...Thanks."

And Emily finally found her tongue and summed things up succinctly.

"Oh @#$%&$#@."

Goliath looked between the infant and the bag. "Hmm. It would appear..."

"What?" Elisa asked.

"It is almost as though the infant was formed from the blankets."

"But how could that be?" Goliath moved over to crouch next to Lucy and hold out his arms. "May I see her?"

The tiny doctor looked at him blankly, but then handed over the baby, who fussed and sucked on her fist.

Goliath murmured soothingly as he spread out her wings and examined them. Then he ran his fingertips over the closely curled fur that she'd inherited from Lucy and stood to bring her over to Elisa and his twin. "She looks like a normal child, save for her parentage."

Hudson, back by the bag, squeezed his eyes shut and groaned.

Elisa just shook her head. "That's got to be the most impossible thing I've even seen."

He lowered his head and sniffed at her hair, then frowned and offered her to Elisa. "Can you smell anything?"

"So... the sparkles made Lex's blankets into a baby?" asked Emily.

"Baba?" asked a little voice from under garg-Goliath's wings.

Elisa took the newly formed infant in her arms and sniffed, trying to see if there was anything out of the ordinary she could detect.

Goliath opened his wings, settling them in a half-open position, now that the danger was passed. He looked down at the two in his arms.

She smelled like a new baby. One related to the people that she resembled. And she sounded hungry as her whimpers grew.

Chelsea looked back at her alternate grandpa with a smile, but Peter was asleep and purring.

"Well?" asked Goliath, frowning. Then he glanced at Hudson as the old gargoyle stood and walked out of the room.

She frowned. "Nothing. Just... like a kid's supposed to. Scent that's a little bit of both parents. And hungry from the sound of it."

"I'll get her a bottle." Lucy stood and was suddenly next to Elisa, holding out her arms.

Though surprised by the speed, Elisa didn't show it. Instead, she handed the child over. "There you go."
