Chapter 7
Talon and the X-Men gathered in the room as the sun set.
"Give them room."
Everyone looked at him.
"Just step back. You'll see why in a minute." Talon insisted.
The X-Men stepped back and watched as cracks began to form along the stone skin. Suddenly the Gargoyles roared the skin came flying off.
"Do they do that every night?" Jean asked.
"Yeah."
Brooklyn turned and looked at Fuzen, who had awoken with the rest. "Now what do we do with him?"
"We take him home." Kes answered. Fawks looked relieved and hugged her.
Fuzen looked at the ground and did not speak.
"Would you at least like to 'try' an attempt at an apology?" Angela said, a slight edge creeping into her voice.
"I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you." Fuzen said, amazing all of the Gargoyles.
"Then why did you attack her?" Wolverine demanded.
"I thought she was Brooklyn."
"And that just makes it all better?" Wolverine said. He still had no idea why he should care about Kes.
"We know why Fuzen would attack Brooklyn." Talon said.
The X-Men waited for the reason. The clan, however, did not want to remember that time. When it became apparent that they would not get an answer Storm spoke.
"Of course, if you would rather not tell us, that's up to you."
"It happened a while ago, after Fuzen found out Fawks, Sita and Chryss where alive. And your right, we'd rather not talk about it." "Brooklyn said.
"That's OK, we all have things in our past we would rather not remember." Wolverine said, surprising several of the X-Men.
"Jean, would you mind showing our guests where they can get something to eat?" Xaiver asked.
"Of cores Professor." she said as she lead the Gargoyles, including Talon, out of the room and to the cafeteria.
"Professor, what do you think about their story?" Scott asked.
"Right now I'd rather not say."
The group started to walk out of the room.
"Oh, and Logan, what did you find out?" Scott asked.
"Nothing important." Logan answered as he left.

Rouge sat with Bobby and the other students as they watched the TV. She tried to get her mind off of Magneto and started to succeed when suddenly,
"We interrupt this show for an important news bullion."
All of the students groaned.
"The escaped mutant, Magneto AKA Eric Lehnsherr , has recently been spotted in Continental Village heading toward Westchester. If you see him, please call the police and stay out of his site."
"We now return you to your regularly scheduled program already in progress."
Bobby looked directly at Rouge and noticed she was shaking. Kitty noticed too and went to go get one of the adults.
The first person she ran into was Jean, who was still with the Gargoyles. The girl ignored the strange creatures and got Jean to come an look at Rouge.

(FOH meeting hall)
The FOH leader looked at the Quarryman leader.
"Do you have any idea what kind of mutant that red creature was?"
"That red creature was not a mutant, she was a Gargoyle."
"Great, new freaks to deal with." one of the FOH members said.
"They are not freaks, they're demons." a Quarryman shouted.
"What do you want to do about these 'Gargoyles'?" The FOH leader shouted.
"Destroy them!" The Quarrymen shouted.
"What do you want to do to these mutant freaks?"
"Destroy them!" The FOH members shouted.
"Then we are in agreement?" The Quarryman leader asked.
"DESTROY!" Both groups shouted, their voices becoming one. After a few moments they began to make plans as to how to destroy the Gargoyles and mutants.
**************
The new PIT member could not find her house, and the group finally gave up. They went to a pay phone and tried to call several of their members that were left in the city, and could not get them. According to the message, the numbers were out of service. Another member came up with an idea, and tried to find the number in a phone book. As it turned out they were not there.
After wondering around for one hour, they ran into a teenage boy carrying a five year old boy. One of the members recognized the five year old as Alex Xanatos.
"Excuse me, do you know David Xanatos?" the member asked.
"No. Why?" Gambit said.
"That's his son your holding."
Alex looked at Gambit.
"I found him asleep in the woods." Gambit responded.
"Did this man kidnapped you?" another member asked.
"No, I was lost and he found me."
"Do you want to go home?" one of the older PIT members asked.
"If you can get me home." Alex said.
"How? All we have to do is take you to the city." The older member responded.
Alex then told them that they were not in the same world as they had been.
***********
Magneto looked at Mystic, Toad, and Sabertooth.
"I want that boy."
Mystic and Toad turned to leave, and try and find him."
"I also want Jubilee."
They looked at Magneto.
"Get me both of them now."
The mutants left to get the boy and Jubilee.

For a good story about the Quarrymen/Gargoyle fight read 'Fighting Prejudice'. This is a set up like a debate, and involves a different clan then Kes'. That would be Sita's clan, since that happened before this and now that I have to edit Destroyers.
