Rose refused to be a puppet for Xanatos, let the others pretend to live there. She overheard Xanatos talking to Owen about a corporate takeover he wanted to plan, he was talking about a man named Dursley. The moment she heard that name, she stalked out of the main castle, she was heading to where her estranged sister and her family was staying at.
"Rose?" Maggie asks, quietly,
Rose turned to look at her new 'sister' "What you need, Mags?"
"Where are you going?" Maggie asks, worried
"I need to check something out, I'll be back." Rose replies.
Maggie didn't believe it. "We shouldn't leave the castle,"
Rose walked up to Maggie, looking down at her slight form, she was taller then Maggie by at least four or five inches. "I won't be caught," she flexed her wings. "These aren't for decoration. I will stay to the skies or rooftops."
"What about the gargoyles?" Maggie asks,
"What about them? Just because you all think Goliath is responsible for what happened to us doesn't mean I will." Rose answers, "I was the first one, Piece this together if you want. Who owns Gen-U-Tech. When you find that out you will know who wanted us to be the way we are now." she walked off and jump from the building.
She was flying above the ritzier part of Manhattan, when she felt she was not alone. She looked back and saw Claw was following her. She landed on the nearest rooftop, she crossed her arms as she waited for Claw to land.
"Did Talon send you?" Rose asks in a hiss,
Claw frantically shook his head with his hands up in front of him in surrender, he then grinned at Rose.
Rose smiled softly, "You were worried about me?"
Claw nods in an affirmative,
Rose turned away if she didn't have her face covered in fur. The blush would have shown up. "That's sweet, Claw."
Claw ducked his head, then reached out to touch Rose's hand to gain her attention. He tilted his head and looked at her pleadingly.
"You want to know where I'm going?" Rose asks, she didn't understand why she was good at reading body language.
Claw nods again.
"I'm going to search for my sister Petunia, she is suppose to be here in the city, she would love to tell her neighbors that she went to see Xanatos in person." Rose replies, "I'm wishing as well that my nephew Harry is with them. It's a shot in the dark, but I got to try to see him."
Claw nods, then waves his hand out in front of him. Letting Rose know he's ready to go.
Rose and Claw left. Often sneaking glances at one another.
They landed on the closest roof top and watched the window of the room that Dursley had paid for.
Claw tugged on Rose's arm, and pointed to another room. Where a fat kid was shoving a skinnier one.
Rose fought back a snarl of pure rage, why wasn't her sister coming into the room to stop the fat one. She looked at the another window, and saw Petunia clearly ignoring the ruckus in the next room.
"Wish we could hear them." Rose whispers,
Claw nods, he was shaking in suppressed rage.
What decided her was when those three left leaving the skinnier one alone. Rose stood up and flew to the balcony. She tapped on the window, the boy gapped at her but then went over and opened the sliding glass door.
"Who you?"
Rose knelt down on the boy's level and saw that he flinched away, "I'm not going hurt you, child."
the child in question, looked fearfully at the creature.
"My name is Rose." Rose states, "You are very special, little one"
"No me freak." the child states sadly,
"Who ever says that has holes in his head, and I don't want you to repeat that." Rose states, "I am here for you,"
the child looked down, grinning.
"I promise, I will come back every night until I find a way to take you away from these people." Rose states, thinking of plans to save her nephew.
"Hawwy." the child states,
