Elisa Maza stared at her reflection in the mirror, her hand unconsciously rubbing her slowly swelling stomach. So much had changed in the five years since she had first met the Gargoyles. Since she had first met Goliath...

She let out a sigh as she sank into a nearby chair, her gaze shifting towards the sinking sun that was shining through the window. It had been a long, hard journey, but they--all of them--had managed to beat the odds.

Elisa glanced down at the bulge under her shirt, a long forgotten phrase suddenly popping into her mind.

"Dum spiro, spero."
