Chapter Two
Kes woke up with a splitting head ache. She glanced around her and guessed it would be to late to tell the others that she sensed another disturbance. The others where finally waking up. Fawks was the first to groan and Brooklyn asked the first question. "Where are we?" so Kes thought they were in somewhat good condition.
Finally after ten minutes they all were awake. And could talk Brooklyn asked his question again "Where are we?"
"I think a better question would be what do we do now?" Shilow asked.
"What do you mean what do we do now?" Brooklyn demanded.
"We don't even know where we are." Angela said looking at her mate.
"What do you mean where we are? Of course we're in Manhattan."
Kes thought that sometimes Brooklyn could be very boneheaded. Even Kera, who's time in New York City was limited would have been able to tell them they where not in the City. She decided to point out the obvious. "Then Mr. Leader where is the PIT building, the Statue of Liberty, or even the Brooklyn Bridge?"
"What do you mean 'Mr. Leader'?" Brooklyn asked ignoring her statement about all the landmarks.
"Goliath did make you second in command." Lex pointed out.
"And since he's not around that makes you leader." Broadway finished.
Brooklyn's beak opened slightly and he stared at his rookery brothers.
"Look Brooklyn, if you not up to the job I could always lead." Talon offered.
"Or Kes," Fawks added, "she was the next in line to take over her clan."
"Thanks, but I'll do it."
All this time Sita stood looking at the sky line. Finally she looked at her clanmates. "What about the PIT people?"
"What do you mean?" Talon said trying to figure out what she was getting at.
"Don't you think since we are here they maybe also?"
That started a whole new line of questions with no answers. Everyone knew they had to protect their friends. But Brooklyn did not look like he was going to lead.

Some where in the X-Men world:
Suddenly Alex glanced at the blue woman. She and her friends where talking about someone named Rouge and whether or not she was important to their plans. All Alex knew was that his call for his friends had been answered, the only thing they needed to do was find him and he could go home. Maybe he would even get his puppy.
*****************************
In Manhattan:
Zetsubou sighed as she and Kibu finished their tour of the city. The rest of the clan was missing, and everyone in the castle would give anything to see the missing members, the PIT people, or at this point even the Quarrymen. Puck had tried to find them with the same results as when he looked for Alex, and Fox was getting even more desperate.
The two gargoyles landed at the castle the same time as Goliath and Claw. They were meant by Maggie who walked with them in silense to the dining hall, to where everyone was waiting. McBeth arrived five minutes later. Everyone looked at each other until finally McBeth broke the silense. "So what are you going to do?"
"Do you think you can try a spell?" Tobias asked with a desperate look in his eyes.
Kera looked at her brother and asked an obvious question "Don't you think that Puck would have been able to find them?"
"Well, it's worth a try." Tobias shot back.
The brother and sister looked like they might start to fight so McBeth told them the truth. "I can try a spell with Puck , but I think that it will probably not have any effect."
"Why didn't you do that before when my boy was missing?" Fox yelled.
"First of all, I was out of town. Secondly, the spell I am going to use is to find Gargoyles only."
"Have you ever tried this before?" Goliath asked.
"No. But there is a first time for everything."
McBeth and Puck went to work on the spell.
*****************
Some where in the X-Men world:
Friends of Humanity, or FOH met as they did on this same day every week. On this weeks agenda: Close the school for the gifted, by any means necessary. They would attack at midnight the next night.
***********
At the same time the Quarry men were discussing what they were going to do. They needed a way to get their revenge on the wretched Gargoyles who had transported them here, and they had just the way. One of their newest inventions was a device that could find Gargoyles due to their metabolism. Luckily, one of the members had grabbed it before they had been transported and at midnight the next night they would use it to kill the filthy creatures.

"Charles, why do you come here every month?"
"To talk Eric."
"And to look for hope I suppose." Magneto said that with certain look in his eyes, an almost teasing look.
Xavier left after he finished his chess game and met Scott at the door.
"What's wrong Professor?" Cyclops asked as he helped Xavier into the car.
"I'm sensing a strange presence. It's gone now, let's get back to the school."
**********
At the castle in Manhattan:
McBeth and Puck came back into the room after they had tried the spell.
"Right now all we can tell you is that they are alive." Puck said almost disappointed.
"And Alex is in the same world as them."
"Are they together?" Xanatos asked.
"We can't tell."
***********
In Putnam Valley (it borders Westchester County):
The only thing everyone agreed on was they would need to find a safe place to sleep. As they flew over the tiny town they saw a school with just the kind of cover they would need so they landed and prepared to sleep. Talon would have to watch them the day to make sure no one came up. Suddenly Kes felt like she would start to cry. Somehow she felt this was all her fault, and she could not sense her little brother or sister. Fawks came over to comfort her. No one really said anything, and the sun came up turning everyone except the Mutate to stone. With the light Talon could make out the sign with the name of the building they were staying on. Turned out they were at the Putnam Valley Elementary School. He thought it was kind of ironic, and with a final glance at the sign he want to get some sleep next to the sleeping Gargoyles.
