It was a Time For Gargoyles

Live long and Prosper everyone

There's a trait that I've noticed with brothers and sisters whether they're Gargoyle or Human is that they will always fight, They will fight tooth and nail at each other. I've also learnt that they will stick up for each other no matter what, that they are the one person or three people that you can count on no matter what.

This is something that the trio has to find out for themselves though

"Come on, give it up it's my turn" I hear Brooklyn Complain making me sigh and roll my eyes as I turn the page of my book. I'm currently trying to read the Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman, it's an amazing book in a fictional world I just wish I could concentrate on it.

"You been hogging that game since we woke up"

"That's 'cause i'm the only one that knows how to work it" Lexington pridefully mentions always in a mocking tone to his rookery brothers

"Why do you want to learn how to fly a helicopter? You got wings." the blue gargoyle says eating a sandwich then hands me one making me smile, Broadway always makes me a sandwich or whatever he's cooking. It reminds me of the special bond I have with all three of them

"Oh, you wouldn't understand." Lex says making the blue Gargoyle more frustrated

"Right. l'm just a big dumb gargoyle with his brains in his stomach." Broadway says poking his stomach making me giggle.

"That's enough You're warriors and rookery brothers, Elisa did not give you this game so you could fight over it like children." Goliath says as the three boys look down shamefully "Sorry. Guess i'm a little worried about Elisa. lf cops were meant to fly they'd have wings." Broadway finishes as I set my book down and make my way to the game and pick up the controller. I started playing making the trio redder than Brooklyn is "Hey, what do you think your doing" Lex says trying to take the controller from me but since I'm about 5'10 while he's 4'11 I have some height on him.

"I'm finishing the level you were stuck on but you weren't going to admit that you were" I tell him as his mouth gabes open. finishing and completing the level I hand him the controller back leaving all three boys staring as I sit back down and start ready chapter 10 of my book.

I sit on the steps by Goliath petting bronx as Elisa from what I have heard during this new time is having a midlife crisis

"What am I gonna do?"she says slighting pacing talking about her brother being hired by Xanatos "Tell him the truth." Goliath starts but the young Mexican women doesn't let him

"The truth? The whole truth? including the part about gargoyles living in New York? That's not my secret to tell"

"Shouldn't have to be, He should trust you" Broadway says making me nod but this is the way of siblings. "Trust doesn't mean a whole lot without honesty" Brooklyn says also making me nod "Excuse me, but aren't we missing the point here? Jackal and Hyena are loose in the city. We should be tracking them down." Lex says being completely ignored as the conversation continues

"Derek is your brother, Elisa Tell him the truth. Show us to him if necessary. He must be made to believe." Goliath says making me stand up "Why can't he work for Xanatos if it's going to be a better job and opportunity for him?" I question but everyone suddenly looks at me shocked.

"Did you happen to forget what that man did to all of us, especially you?" Lexington asks me making me sigh "Xanatos is a Multi-Billionaire with thousands of employees what makes Derek any different from them?"

"Something bad might happen" Elisa says making me slightly irritated

"Something bad will always happen, but certain things are fixed points in time, like might I add your brother taking this job, you will not be able to stop him whether you like it or not. The real question is will you support your brother in his wishes or will you go against him" I tell her before walking out of the clock tower hopping on my spot.

"You 4" I hear looking up from my book as the trio look up from the TV "Station yourselves near the castle and watch for any signs of trouble. And please, try to get along." Goliath says making me chuck as the 4 of us leave.

"l can't see how we're doing any good here We should be looking for Jackal and Hyena" Lex says making me roll my eyes as I stand next to brooklyn with my arm resting on his shoulder, all Lex thinks about is the pack since he was tricked by them with Goliath; the poor boy needs to get over it.

"Oh, give it a rest. it's more important now that we help Elisa" Broadyway says as I elbow Brooklyn and we both see movement.

"You wouldn't know what's important if it bite you on the ass" "Knock it off, you two." I yell at them making the two look up "Look. Let's go." Brooklyn says seeing Xantos chopper leave when suddenly another chopper comes into view with the pack logo on it "I think both of y'all are going to get yalls wish" I tell Broadway and Lex as we jump off the building and follow the two choppers.

Broadway makes it to the packs chopper first and rips open the glass covering throwing Hyena out. Brookly and I land our eyes glowing white and red, Lexi rips the gun out of Jackals hand as I throw him out of the chopper too.

"You sure you can fly this?"Brooklyn asks as the giant metal beast starts to lean forward "Hey, it's just like the simulator game back in the tower." Lex comments shrugging and I shake my head vigorously, Brooklyn looks from me to lex and sighs "Famous last words."

"Maybe not quite the same." Lex comments again as we yell, the helicopter swan diving down towards the streets. "Thought you said you could fly this thing." Red says as I throw my arm around him and hold on to the helicopter making sure neither of us fly off. "if you think you can do better, now's the time." Lex says and I try to grab the lever

"Pull up lex, pull the lever up"

"Feel the air currents. Use 'em. Just like you do with your wings." Broadway says

"Yeah, use the Force, Lex." Brooklyn says "Now might not be the best time to be making Star Wars reference" I tell him as we all scream seeing lex up the lever up and us shooting down the street trying to avoid humans best as possible. we make it down an alleyway the helicopter bounce up and down finally throwing us off. I manage to gracefully land but the trio kinda flop all over each other.

"Hey, any landing you can walk away from"

"What do we do with it now? Use it for a planter?" Brooklyn says but I just add "Nooo obviously a fish tank" making him smile adding to his sarcasm "Um, maybe i can get it running again. Let's hide it for now before the sun rises." Lex says as we hide it then head back to the clock tower.

"l think l can have it airborne by tomorrow night." Lex says

"Why would you want to? What do we need with a helicopter?" Broadway says which in theory makes a lot of sense "As long as Derek is flying Xanatos' chopper, we may need one just to keep up." Elisa says but I sigh "why can't we leave them alone, we can't stop what's going to happen. we're just wasting our time" I try to tell them but Goliath gives me a look that says if I say anymore I'm grounded for a week making me wrap my wings around me sadly.

l'll take over surveillance of Derek and Xanatos tomorrow night with Delphi You three get the Pack's helicopter working" Goliath says "Don't worry. i'll tell you what has to be done." Lex says cockerly "Oh, yeah? You and what starfleet?" Brooklyn says making me sigh we really need to stop watching those sci fi movies "Live long and Prosper everyone" I say as I head for my spot next to Broadway and Brooklyn to get a good days rest after this eventful night.

The next night goliath and surveillance the two men seeing them fly off in the chopper, I go and tell the trio to get the chopper ready while Goliath went to grab Elisa. The 6 of us heads For Xanatos's estate east of Manhattan by the time we get there the fighting had already begun. The two idiots try to shoot the chopper but it didn't work

""Still think the armor looks dumb?" Lex says as Broadway, Brooklyn and I head down to stop the two. I go with Brooklyn as we try to stop hyena but she starts shooting at us making Brooklyn get stuff by a giant log "Red!" I yell land next to him as he struggles to get free. I finally am able to get the log off as we finally capture both the siblings.

by the time we get back to the clock tower I think everyone had learnt a very valuable lesson today, the trio are actually being nice to each other and I can finally get some well rested sleep.
