Author's note: Yeah, I said forget it. The silly Fanfiction site won't let it look the way I wanted, so I just put the chat back and will leave it like that. Waah! I really wanted it to start like a real gargoyles episode too! Ahem, back to being a mature writer...

TecknoBat: Know? Where did you go? Brother still giving you a hard time? Tell him to back off, LOL! Before he has to deal with me and MY bros!

KnowiTall: Who are you?

TecknoBat: Um, who are you? IS this Know? Party? Red?

KnowiTall: One of know's brothers. Who are you? What do you know about us?

TecknoBat: well, it's not Party, anyway…

KnowiTall: Party? Who's that?

TecknoBat: Come on, they are your brothers! The goofy one.

KnowiTall: Oh. That's M…right, Okay.

KnowiTall: Yeah, it's not Party. I don't chat much.

TecknoBat: Yeah…Yeah I can tell.

TechnoBat: Is know off-line?

KnowiTall: Yeah. He might be away for a while…

TecknoBat: Well, thanks for letting me know. Was there a fight? He was telling me that there was some tensions going on a little while ago.

KnowiTall: Yeah. It was pretty bad, actually. He went to cool off.

TecknoBat: Bummer. Which one are you anyway? Just curious.

KnowiTall: Before I answer, I need to know what you know about us. For…security reasons.

TecknoBat: Security…oh, hi, welcome back from the trip. Um, I don't know that much really. We don't talk RL much. I know that you guys have a single dad. That there are four boys. You, who is the oldest, There is a hotheaded middle brother. And the youngest, PartyAnimal, is really fun and goofy.

KnowiTall: Did you chat with any of them before? Wait, um, what is RL? Is that even a word?

KnowiTall: How did you even know who I was?

TecknoBat: Um…give me a minute. Did I ever chat with any of them? Yeah. Party Animal. He's cool. RL? Um, that means Real Life? What cave did you live in? How did I know who you were? Duh! Both Know and Party both said that you are very protective. So when you start grilling me the way my-well, father would have, I knew right away.

KnowiTall: Oh.

TecknoBat: Hey, it's cool. I get it. Know and I don't chat much about RL. We talk mechanics, physics. That kind of thing. He did tell me he don't have many people to talk to, that nobody else gets him at home. We don't talk much about anything else, because, well, each of us have our issues in our RL…er, real life so far.

KnowiTall: You are, or anyway seem to be, a transparent person, aren't you?

TecknoBat: Yeah, guess so. It's cool. GTG. Oh, wait, Got to go. Time to hang with my own family.

KnowiTall: Okay. Well, good luck with that. Good Night.

TecknoBat: Good night.

TecknoBat: Logged off

KnowiTall: Logged off

Meanwhile, in another part of the city….

Someone else had just logged off. He stood and stretched, before putting a battered old laptop away, on an equally battered old desk. Just in time, too.

"Where are you, Lex?"

"Over here."

With a sigh, the young gargoyle went out onto the balcony to join his clan.

"Did you enjoy your computer chatting?" Broadway, asked with a grin, as he glanced down to his smallest brother.

"It was okay, but I think my friend was in a bit of a fight or something."

"That seems to be the nature of humans." Growled the tall figure known as Golioth, as he came out to join them. He looked out over the horizon. "And now, our patrol!"

Without a word, one after another jumped over the edge, to glide away into the night, heeding the call to the duty bred into every gargoyle soul. To protect and keep the home safe. The home of New York. To protect it from all the dangers that threaten it and their tiny clan. From the dangers both outside, and within.
