Gargoyles 'Verse: Hospital: One Lex, Two Lex, Garg Lex...

[elisas-clan.livejournal.com]

Hospitals were a strange place for Lexington.  He'd never actually been in one before, after all.  The hustle and bustle of people, people who were, for the most part, ignoring him (though one would occasionally do a double-take, as though they almost recognized him), was a strange and even somewhat heady experience.

Of course, what made it truly strange was that he was here to see himself.  A self that was human, had been fully accepted to the human world, even had a girlfriend.  He still lived a life in the shadows, and though there were three unattached females now a part of the Clan, he had yet to forge a relationship of any significance with any of them.  Guinevere seemed torn between staying loyal to the Goliath she had left behind and (and he had only heard this by accident, when she had thought she was alone, talking to herself) forming a relationship with Franklin from this universe.  The other two were simply too new to him to be anything more than a casual friend.

But here he was, off to see this reality's version of himself, in the company of Franklin.

"So, yeah, I asked Guin if she'd like to come see Mother tomorrow night," the big clone was rumbling happily as he walked along clad in battered khakis and a blue T-shirt that held a picture of Garfield the cat.

Lex had watched just enough human TV to understand that meeting the parents was supposed to be an important step in human relationships. He laughed, though it was for somewhat unrelated reasons.

"Never thought I'd live to see the day when Elisa and Demona got along," he said. "Though," he amended, "Guin isn't really Demona. Dumb joke."

Both young humans blush.

"She's only here after school." Lex's voice cracked.

[elisas-clan.livejournal.com]

"Well, guess that's good too."

[random_xtras]

Lex's eyes widened, and he shot a glance at his brother, who was intently perusing a comic book. "No way.... He finally found a girl who likes him?"

[elisas-clan.livejournal.com]

Lex nodded. "It's... complicated. Guin's kinda sorta but not yet really Demona. Sorta."

[random_xtras]

"Franklin'll get her out of it. There's just no way to be grumpy around that guy, if you know him."

[elisas-clan.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. She always come back happier when she's seen him."

[random_xtras]

"Is she pretty?" Lex was still grinning, but one hand was slipping along under his blankets toward Emily's.

"Well, I guess," he said, rubbing the back of his head uncertainly. "I mean, she's definitely cute..."

[random_xtras]

"Yeah, sorry. Nevermind. Oh, hey, do you like Mario?" He reached for game controller.

[elisas-clan.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah! I play with Nash and Tachi all the time."

[random_xtras]

"You're a lot healthier than me." Lex stuck out his tongue.

"Complain, complain, complain! You been taking whining lessons from Brooklyn?"

[random_xtras]

She controlled the impulse to grin, then looked at the TV again.

Which was when Lex's car crossed the finish line. "Whoo-hoo!"

[random_xtras]

"Oh that was bad...." Lex winced and snerked.

[elisas-clan.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I'm sure you've said some pretty dumb stuff too," Lex countered. "I think I know you pretty well, after all."

[random_xtras]

Lex glanced at him sideways. "Haven't you had Oscer Meyer weenies?"

[elisas-clan.livejournal.com]

Lex shrugged. "Rings a faint bell. I don't really pay attention to that kinda thing."

[random_xtras]

"Nope. Not yet. Mother keeps changing her mind." Franklin quickly showed a wicked sense of timing and murderous hand eye coordination.

[elisas-clan.livejournal.com]

Well, who'd have thought that Franklin would so quickly leave Lex in the dust? Not Lex, that's for sure.

"Huh. I'm not so good with names," Lex said. "I mean, I thought up my own, but that's about it."

[random_xtras]

The big clone didn't answer, only watched as his car went over the finish line.

Lex wasn't really sure what to say, so he just focused on the screen.
