Broadway sat on the ledge on top of the high tower where they slept, staring at the vase city below. Something that he did quite a lot for the past two weeks. He would wake up, sit on the ledge and think. He did a lot of thinking these past two weeks. Most of his thoughts were of Elisa and about what happened. Not a night goes by that Broadway didn't think about what he had done to his dear friend Elisa. The event plays in his head over and over like a broken record player. Broadway can still sense everything in them. Even in his stone sleep Broadway could feel everything, hear everything, and see everything like a never ending movie. The gun go off, Elisa's pale face when she got shot but worst of all the blood in his claws. His friends' blood. Broadway looked at his claw in disgusted; he can still smell the blood. No matter how many times he washed the smell still lingers, the blood smeared on his claw. The vision of him cleaning the blood off him still fresh on his mind. As it were yesterday…

Flashback

Broadway glided as fast as he could to the nearest hospital.

'I have to hurry! Elisa needs help now!' He thought. Luckily Broadway was able to find a hospital and glided towards it. Once landing he gently place Elisa down on the gurney. When he removed his claw from under her, his eyes widen in shock. He gasped in utter shock.

'Blood…so much blood.' He thought. Broadway then heard footsteps coming his way. He took one last look at Elisa before running away. He quickly climbed on the side of the building towards the roof. Once he got to the top he looked at his claws, shaking at the sight of it.

'Elisa's blood…it's everywhere. I can even smell it! What have I done?! I hurt my friend. I…I need to wash this off.' Broadway opened his wings and quickly glided to the small lake at the park. When he got there he scrubbed the blood off. He scrubbed and scrubbed for what seemed like hours until finally every ounce of blood was removed. Broadway sat back and stared at his claws. Though the blood was completely gone he can still smell it. Tears started to fall down his face.

"Oh Elisa, I'm so sorry. This is my entire fault. Please Elisa…please be ok." He said out loud. Noticing that dawn was approaching he slowly got up and found a place for him to rest.

End flashback…

Silent tears ran down his face. He blames himself for everything. Though Elisa told him that she didn't blame him for what happened, he couldn't believe it.

'Elisa didn't mean it. I know that she blames me for what happened. I wouldn't be surprised if she hated me for it.' He wiped the tears away and continued to stare at the city.

The clan watched Broadway as he looked at the city. They were supposed to get ready to head to Elisa's but they couldn't. Seeing their friend was in a deep depression was something they thought would never happen. Ever since the accident Broadway hasn't been himself. He wasn't the cheerful, loving, happy go lucky gargoyle he was before. Now he was distant to everyone around him. At first Brooklyn and Lex wanted to confront Broadway about it but Goliath said otherwise.

"Broadway is still upset about what happen. He needs time to let this settle for him. I know he will come out of this." He said.

But as time passed on Broadway wasn't coming out of it. Each passing day he became more and more distant and quieter. Never says a word to anybody. The smile he always had on his face was all but gone. Not once in these past two weeks has he laugh or smile. He spends most of his time sitting on the ledge, watching the nights pass him by. Tired of watching their friend and brother suffer, the clan walked up to him and talk.

"Hey Broadway." Brooklyn said with a smile, hoping that his brother will smile back. Broadway just looks at him with a blank face then returned his gaze back to the city.

"Umm..." Brooklyn didn't know what to say next so Lex stepped in.

"Hey Broadway, we're on our way to Elisa's. She coming home from the hospital today and it would be great for her to see us all there."

"She wouldn't have been in the hospital if it wasn't for me." He said.

"Broadway, it was accident. You didn't know this was going to happen." Brooklyn hated seeing his brother like this. 'This isn't the Broadway I know.' He thought.

"He is right Broadway, this was an accident. Elisa doesn't blame you." Goliath said.

"How do you know that?! How do you know that right now Elisa isn't blaming me right now?" Broadway yelled.

"Lad, don't think like that. Elisa would never do that." Hudson said.

"You guys don't understand. I was the cost of Elisa's pain and suffering! It's my fault! Elisa wouldn't want to see me why would she. I'm the last person Elisa wants to see! She probably hates me for what I did to her!" Broadway didn't want to talk about it anymore. He opened his wings and glided away.

"Wait Lad!" Hudson yelled. But it was too late. They watched as Broadway glided away.

"Goliath, should we go after him?" Lex asked.

He shook his head, "No, as much as I want too we should let Broadway be for now. Once he has settled down I will talk to him."

Brooklyn, Hudson and Lex slowly nodded their heads, 'If anyone can talk to Broadway it was Goliath.' They thought.

"Come everyone, Elisa is waiting for us. We must get going." Goliath then walked up to the ledge, opened his wings and glided away. Everyone followed suit, their destination Elisa's apartment.

Meanwhile back at Elisa's apartment Elisa was sitting on her bed happy to finally be home. Her mother left a few minutes ago, but not before making sure she ate, was comfortable in her bed, had her favorite pajamas; Superman tank top and a pair of batman boy shorts, and had everything in arms reach.

"Moms gotta love them." She said. Suddenly Elisa heard the sound of the window opening and small commotion coming from her living room. She smiled knowing who it was.

"Elisa, are you home?" Brooklyn yelled.

Lex nudged his elbow towards Brooklyn side, "Hey don't yell so loud. She could be sleeping."

"How was I supposed to know that?" He said as he rubbed his side.

"Alright ye two cut it out." Hudson said. Elisa couldn't help but laugh at the commotion.

"Hey guys, I'm in my room!" She shouted. The clan smiled hearing Elisa's voice. They quickly walked up to her room. As soon as they got to the doorway they stopped. They couldn't believe it. After two long weeks their dear friend was sitting right in front of them, not in a hospital bed but in her own bed.

"Hi everyone." Elisa said with a big smile on her face.

"Elisa!" Brooklyn and Lex ran up to her and carefully gave her a hug. Goliath and Hudson followed suit.

"Welcome home Elisa." Brooklyn said.

"We're so happy that your home and not in the hospital." Lex said.

"Me too." Elisa said as she gently pulled away. She was glad to be back home.

"It's good to see you lass." Hudson said he gave her a hug as well. Elisa gladly returned the hug.

"You too Hudson." She then turned her gaze to Goliath, "Hey there Big Guy."

"Elisa, you look better." He said remembering how pale she looked on the hospital bed.

"I feel better, though the doctor told me I'll be a bit of pain and sore if I move too quickly. That's why the doctor gave me crutches to use." Elisa made a sour face when she said that part.

Goliath couldn't help but laugh, "Well I'm glad." He was really worried about Elisa. When Owen told him that Elisa was shot and may not make it so many emotions came at him. Angry, sorrow, helplessness he couldn't bare losing his dear friend.

Elisa was happy to see all of her friends here but she noticed that there was one person missing.

"Broadway didn't come did he?" She said. She hoped that Broadway would show up but wasn't at all surprised that he didn't. The clan looked at each other, not knowing how to explain what's been happening to Broadway.

"Well…you see Broadway still blames himself for what happened. He told us that he wants to avoid you as much as possible." Lex said.

"Avoid me?" Elisa said flabbergasted was what Lex said.

"Aye lass he believes that if he tries to go anywhere near you he will hurt you."Hudson said.

"He also thinks that you blame him for what happened. Even though you told him you didn't." Goliath said.

"What?! Why would he think that?! I don't blame him for what happened it was an accident." Elisa moved too quickly for reacting to what they just told her. She winced in pain a bit.

"Elisa, are you alright?" Goliath said with concern in his voice.

"Yeah I'm fine." She said still couldn't believe what they were saying.

"We tried to tell him that but he didn't believe us." Brooklyn said.

"Well then guess I will have to convince him otherwise." Elisa removed the covers off her and sat on the edge of the bed. She then grabbed her crutches that were near her bed.

"Lass, what are ye doing?" Hudson asked.

"What's it look like, I'm going to the castle to talk to Broadway. Brooklyn do you mind grabbing the big red jacket from my closet."

"Umm…sure Elisa." Brooklyn quickly walked up to the closet to grab her jacket.

"But Elisa, Broadway not there. He flew away when we tried to convince him to come with us." Lex said.

"Well I'll just wait for him to come back." She said. Elisa was determined to talk to Broadway even if it takes all night. Brooklyn came up to her and gave her the jacket. She smiled in appreciation as she slowly put it on. Elisa was struggling a bit putting her left arm in, where the wound was. Goliath walked up to her and helps her with the jacket being as gently as possible.

"Thanks Big Guy." She said with a smile. With her crutches at her hand she slowly got up.

"Ok let's go. I'll take my car and meet you guys there." Elisa walked out the bedroom. The clan stood in her room. There were amazed at Elisa. She was putting her pain and soreness to the side just to talk to Broadway.

"Elisa wait!" The clan quickly followed. Elisa was already at the door as Goliath gently picked her up and placed her in his arms.

"Elisa you are still in some pain. Since you insisted on going to the castle let me take you. I do not want you to hurt yourself more." He said. Elisa smiled at the Big Guy. Goliath then asked Brooklyn to carry the crutches, which he gladly accepted. They walked out to the balcony. Making sure Elisa was secure in his arms; Goliath opens his wings and leaped off the roof. The others followed suite and headed back to the castle.
