(Jean's P.O.V.)
"My name is Natasha Romanoff, and I'm also known as Black Widow for my widow's bites which can deliver a powerful shock.", Natasha said with a smirk.
"That's amazing.", Brooklyn said with a grin. "I would like to see how that device works.", Lexington said with a interested smile.
"A formidable woman just like you, Jean.". Goliath rumbled softy with respect. "Just remember, Natasha is someone you don't want to mess with.", I said with a wry smirk.
"And trust Jean, you don't want to find out.", Natasha said with a grin. "Noted.", Brooklyn nodded in respect.
"I'm Bruce Banner, and I am a scientist. Please don't ever make me get angry in any situation.", Bruce said with a polite, slightly nervous smile. "We know. Jean told us that when you get angry, you turn into the Hulk.", Lexington said with a nod and a smile of acceptance.
"The Hulk will accept us as we are warriors striving for peace and good.", Goliath nodded with respect and acceptance. "I think Hulk likes you even more.". Bruce mused thoughtfully.
"My name is Clint Barton, and I'm also called Hawkeye for being a skilled archer.", Clint said with a grin. "That's so cool!", Brooklyn whistled in excitement and awe.
"Clint is also a bit of a prankster.", I said with a smirk. "Hey!", Clint said, giving me a slightly insulted look, yet he looked proud about it.
"I shall be wary about your pranks, then.". Goliath rumbled lightly, and Clint looked highly proud. "My name is Tony Stark, also known as Ironman.", Tony said with a casual smirk.
"Yeah! Jean said that you create a lot of amazing inventions and machines! Can you one day show me your suit, please?", Lexington asked excitedly. "Sure thing, man. Maybe you can help me with some stuff. You look like a genius like me.". Tony grinned softly with a nod.
"Why do I have a feeling that Lex is going to be stuck in a lab from now on?". Brooklyn groaned lightly. "Lexington, you better come out on patrol sometime. Working in a lab wouldn't be good for you all the time.", Goliath reprimanded Lexington softly, and Lexington nodded softly, "Yes, Goliath.".
"Well, the other member of the Avengers is Thor, but he is back on his home planet.", I said with a helpless shrug. "The god of thunder.", Goliath said with a nod.
"Well, when he comes to visit, we will introduce him to you.", Steve said with a grin. I then saw that dawn was approaching, and I saw Goliath and his clan stand near the edge (but not too near).
"What are they doing?", Tony asked in confusion. Then the sun rose, and Goliath and his clan turned to stone while Light still remained in her Gargoyle form, even though she will revert to her human form later on.
"Did you forget already, Tony? Jean said that Goliath and his clan will turn to stone at dawn.", Natasha said with a smile. "I can see why both you and Elisa were worried that Xanatos would hire someone to hurt them.", Tony said.
"Yeah, in this state, they are very much vulnerable.", Bruce said with a nod of agreement. "Yes, which is why Jean decided to have them live here.", Elisa said with a grin.
"Don't worry, Jean. We will help you protect them no matter what.", Steve said to me with a determined nod. "Thanks.", I said with a grateful smile.
"I'm still amazed that we are now friends with Gargoyles.", Clint said, looking awed as he looked at the frozen Gargoyles. "I know, right?", Tony said with a smile.
"When you told us their backstory, I felt really bad for them. They were protecting the humans that lived in the castle from invaders, but they feared Goliath and his clan.", Bruce said with a shake of his head, looking a bit upset.
"Yes, they just wanted the humans to accept them, but they had accepted them too late as the Vikings had killed our clan.", Light said with a deep and pained sigh.
"Well, not us! I mean, we are superheroes with different ways to help out, and we are pretty much accepted out there, and we accept the Gargoyles as who they are. They aren't monsters to us.". Steve gave out his little speech.
"Steve's right. We will protect Goliath and his clan from any dangers that are out there.", Natasha said, giving out a vicious smile while having a determined look.
After that, we all went inside. "So, Jean, what's up with you and Goliath?", Natasha asked with a wry smirk. "What do you mean?", I asked nervously. "We saw how close you were to Goliath.", Bruce said with a smile.
"Well, that's because Jean has feelings for him.", Light said with a grin. "What?!", Natasha gasped in shock and disbelief.
"No way!", Bruce blinked in surprise. "That's freaking cool!", Clint whistled lowly. "Good for you, woman! Goliath seems very protective of you, and with him around, nobody ain't going to hurt you.", Tony grinned lightly with a hint of teasing.
"That's great news, Jean! He obviously cares for you.". Steve nodded approvingly. "I haven't had this feeling since Scott and I were dating, and I would like to get to know Goliath a bit more before I can date him.", I smiled shyly with a blush.
"Then what's going on?", Natasha asked worriedly. "Jean's been a bit stressed out due to the sightings of Erik in New York.", Light said, looking anxious.
"That bastard again?!", Clint said with a growl. "I got a call from Raven the other day, and she told me that she and the X-Men were fighting Erik and a few of his Mutant goons... She said that Erik had asked about me...again.", I said with a frustrated sigh.
"Why can't that asshole understand that you don't love him?!", Tony said with a scoff. "I agree with what you said before, Jean. That's not love Erik feels towards you, it's an obsession.", Bruce said with a low growl, his light brown eyes taking upon a faint ring of bright green.
"I will kill that bastard if he ever tries to touch you again.", Natasha said with a vicious snarl. "Jean is worried that Erik might try to hurt Goliath if he finds out Jean has feelings for him.", Light said with a nod.
"I wouldn't know about that. I mean, Goliath is big!". Tony pointed out with a smirk. "Yes, and Goliath has super strength, wings, and a whole lot of fury if you make him angry.". Natasha nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I agree with you guys, but what about during the day?". Clint pointed out lightly in concern.
"Clint, if I know Tony, and this Tower, and I do, Goliath and the others will be fine during the day, and besides, if anybody tries to hurt them, they will have to deal with us.", Bruce snorted lowly as his eyes took upon a mix of bright green and light brown, obviously controlling it.
"Don't worry, Jean, like we said, we will protect your friends no matter what.", Steve said with a determined grin. "Thanks.", I said with a smile.
"Just be more careful at night. I'm sure Erik would either sent someone to kidnap you or he will try to do it himself.", Steve said with a warning tone in his voice. "I know...I promise I'll be careful, Steve. I am not helpless.", I nodded with a smirk.
Light then rubbed my shoulders gently. "Are you going to tell your X-Men friends about your Gargoyle friends?", Tony asked curiously. "Not yet, but in the near future, I will tell them.", I said with a sigh.
"Well, I'm sure they would accept Goliath and his clan for what they are.", Steve said, giving me a reassuring smile. "Yeah, they look different, and they both want humans to accept them.", Natasha said with a nod.
"I can see the X-Men and Goliath's clan becoming best friends.", Tony said with a grin. "Now, I have to install cameras to monitor Goliath and his clan at all times, so while they sleep during the daytime, we will know they are safe.", Tony said, tuning into his thinking mode.
After that, I had gone to my room, and Light had joined me. "Still a bit worried about Erik?", Light asked softly. "Yes, I just don't want him to hurt Goliath or his clan.", I said with a nod.
"Don't worry, your teammates said that they will protect them.", Light said with a smile. "I should have told Goliath about Erik.", I muttered lowly.
"So you can protect him, in case if Erik ever attacks?", Light asked curiously. "Yes, as I now know that I am in love with Goliath.", I said with a nod.
"I'm happy for you, Jean.", Light said with a warm smile. I smiled back in return. "If Erik ever tries to force me to his girlfriend again, I will tell him 'No' as I love Goliath.", I said with a growl.
"Good for you, Jean." Light told me with a approving smile. I then decided to take a nap, and once again, I found myself alone in the tower. I could see that it would soon be dusk, and I then went outside. To my horror, I saw some sledgehammers above Goliath and his clan's statues.
"You are just in time to witness the death of your friends.", I saw Erik smirk, and then he used his powers to let the sledgehammers destroy Goliath and his clan's statues.
"No!", I shouted as I fell on my knees, tears falling down my face. "No need to cry.", Erik said as he came walking to me.
"Get away from me!", I shouted as I used my powers to sent him flying, and I then ran inside. "Get back here, Jean!", Erik shouted angrily as he used his powers to destroy the metal, and he got inside.
I used my Telekinesis to lift a piece of metal, and I hit Erik on the head. I took that chance to run, but then I felt myself fall, and I turned around to see that Erik had used his powers to wrap a metal wire around my ankle, and he started to drag me over to him.
"Let me go!", I shouted, fighting back as I was about to use my powers again,when Erik placed something on my neck, and I saw it was that metal device that disabled a Mutant's power. "Oh, fuck!", I cursed out, feeling horrified and angry.
"Now, you are mine, Jean. No one will hear you now.", Erik then kissed me, and then he started to take off my clothes. "Erik, please stop!", I shouted in despair and fear.
"I will have you no matter what.", Erik said with a low growl, his cold brown eyes glittering in the dark. I then woke up with a gasp, and I started crying. Light then came over, and she hugged me.
"Jean, it's ok. It's ok, it was just a nightmare.", Light said as she rubbed my back gently as I hugged her. "What did you dream?", Light asked me softly with concern.
"I dreamed that Erik killed Goliath and his clan by smashing them to pieces while they were in their stone sleep.", I sobbed loudly. "Oh, my.", Light said with a gasp of horror and shock.
"He also tried to rape me.", I cried out, hugging Light tighter. "Oh my poor Jean, why must you dream those things?", Light asked quietly with a murmur.
"I don't know..The more I have these nightmares, I get more worried for Goliath and his clan!", I said, sniffing as I had little hiccups. "I promise you that nothing bad will happen to them.", Light said with a comforting look.
