Chapter 2
The Gargoyles rushed into see Brooklyn still very much alive and still bleeding to death.
"What is going on I thought you were meant to turn to stone?" the doctor asked Goliath as he entered the room with haste
"I don't know what is going on maybe some kind of magic is preventing us from regenerating" Goliath spoke
"If that is true then I don't know the fate of your friend" the doctor sighed
"Is there anything you can do" Xanatos questioned
"I don't really know Gargoyle anatomy. But I will try to free the clot in his brain but we will have to get him to the operating room" the doctor nodded
"Can't you change into Puck and snap your fingers or something?" Broadway pleaded
"As you know, I am forbidden to use my power unless is related with the training of Alexander" Owen said coldly
"Please I beg you" Broadway pleaded with the immortal
"I am sorry Broadway" he spoke cleaning his glasses
Broadway left the room in a hurry as Brooklyn was lifted to the stretcher again and taken into the skyscraper for emergency operation. Using his newfound ability, Broadway took to the warm winds of early morning, by the time Lexington had reached his departure point he was silhouetted by the sun.
"Where is the lad going" Hudson asked as he had followed them
"I have no idea but I bet it is something stupid" Lexington shock his head
"Then perhaps you should keep an eye on him lad. I'll inform Goliath" Hudson spoke
"No, I'll look but Goliath has Brooklyn to worry about" Lexington urged
"Fine Lad, but I hope you know what yee are doing" Hudson spoke placing his hands on his hips as Lexington took off in hot pursuit.
Meanwhile several hours later, Goliath was impassiontly pacing the corridor while Xanatos simply watched him.
"Detective Maza" he greeted as Elisa turned the corner catching Goliath's eye
"Your lucky its my day . Goliath?" she said noticing the gargoyle
"I am glad you are here" he smiled
"But I don't get it is almost mid day and your alive" she spluttered
"I can't explain it either but we cannot regenerate and Brooklyn is in danger" he spoke
"That's why you called me on my lye in huh Xanatos" she spoke to him
"I hope you understand. If the people discovered that the Gargoyles exist during the day as well as night it may strike fear into them again" he spoke standing up to face her with a concerned look written over his face
"Yeah I understand but what has happened to Brooklyn why is he in danger?" she asked
"He was brutally attacked and has a clot in his brain" Goliath said in a tone of anger
"The Quarrymen?" Elisa spoke softly
"You knew?" Goliath bellowed
"No but they have been attacking you for the past 9 months, it wasn't difficult. How is he?" she asked with concern
"He is barely alive" Xanatos added
"Where is this doctor? How do we know he will not betray us?" Goliath muttered loud enough to hear as he started pacing
"My doctors are professionals. They will not betray me as I pay them 3 times what a normal doctor in Manhattan pays. Plus, they don't know what Gargoyle anatomy is like so it is taking longer than normal" Xanatos tried to reassure him
Goliath sighed and looked out the bright window. Maybe not turning to stone by day would be a bad thing they wouldn't run the risk of being smashed to bits during the day but they can't run for 24-hours without rest, they simply weren't use to it. The problem of why they no longer turn to stone existed too. Then the doctor exited the room. Goliath spun around to see the doctor wearing a bloody apron and a sympathetic look on his face
"No" he said softly
"Goliath there is something you should know" he said pealing of the gloves
"He can't be dead" he spoke softly
Elsewhere in a ground level of a derelict building, the Quarrymen planned their next attack.
"I smashed ones face in" One spoke proudly
"Was it dead?" another asked
"Well if I smashed your face in with a hammer would you?"
"Was it dead" he repeated
"I left him bleeding to death in a corner as his friends attacked" he admitted
"So you don't know?" he asked obvious from the watching Broadway he was in charge of this recruitment of Gargoyle bashers
"His friends attacked I didn't have time to finish the job" the warrior admitted
"Idiot, then how can we be sure he is dead? He will turn to stone and will be healed" spoke a voice unaware they were being watched
"Broadway" Lexington whispered "Are you nuts!"
"They killed Brooklyn so I am gonna return the favour" he spoke up
"We don't know that Brooklyn is dead" he spoke softly
"There is nothing anyone can do" Broadway spoke
"If I hadn't accused him of conspiring with Angela he would never have stormed off"
"I thought you stormed off" Lexington added
"I was too ashamed to admit it and now Brooklyn has paid for my actions" he moaned
"Lets get to the castle, we don't know if we will turn to stone at all we could turn any second and I don't think here is the best place" Lexington spoke softly
"Maybe your write. Okay Lexington" he agreed at last "But I will make the murderers pay dearly for Brooklyn's life"
The two touched down at the castle and were greeted by Hudson.
"Thank heavens you are safe lad" he smiled
"We are both fine" Lexington nodded
"I thought yee would never get back to see him" he smiled
"See who?" Broadway moaned
"Ya Brother, he is barely conscious" Hudson smiled
"You mean he isn't dead?" Broadway smiled as a tear ran down his cheek
"He has suffered a cracked skull and broken bones so he looks like a what did they call it?" Hudson spluttered
"A Mummy" Lexington smiled
"Aye, one of those things. But he should be fine"
"Should?" Broadway questioned
"Apparently he has lost so much blood and the brain damaged has caused him to loose control of his body till he can reproduce more blood and to heal the damage"
"But he is alive" Broadway smiled
"See, I told you it would work out" Lexington smiled
Several moments later Broadway and Lexington were in the recovery area and smiled at the bandaged Brooklyn
"Hi Bro." Lexington greeted them
"Hi Lex" Brooklyn whispered
"Brooklyn about what happened" Broadway started
"Don't worry" he whispered with a cough "I am fine"
"We were all worried about you" Lexington smiled resting a hand on his shoulder
"Hudson thanks you for saving his life"
"He said earlier" Brooklyn whispered with a smile
"Bet ya can't wait to get back in the air huh" Lex smiled
"I can't feel my body Lex, the damage to my brain may paralyse me" he spoke softly
"Paralyse you"
"I may not be able to walk again or glide it is too early to say" Brooklyn replied
"Ah, more guests" the doctor's voice declared. "He needs rest more than anything" he said sympathetically
"Yes of course" Broadway sighed with relief. Simply glad that Brooklyn was safe and that he had forgiven him.
Near Sunset the Gargoyles thought up a plan of action. With Brooklyn out of the picture, patrol would have to pan a smaller area and the case of why they had remained in flesh during the day had cropped up too. Then Xanatos appeared
"My friends I have a lead that may interest you" he spoke with a smile
"Oh?" Goliath spoke
"According to surveillance, Demona took several artefacts from the lobby"
"Demona here? Then she is responsible" Goliath spoke up
"Without a doubt" Xanatos agreed
"We are still trying to analyse the relevance of the items but we will keep you advised" Xanatos reported
"Thank you Xanatos" Goliath smiled
"That was the good news. Goliath can I speak to you alone"
"Very well" he spoke
The two went to the upper battlements and Xanatos continued the conversation "Brooklyn's condition is worsened he is on complete life support. He is still loosing blood and we can't determine where, my doctors want to run a 3D survey of a Gargoyle and analyse the results, the survey will however injure Brooklyn further and was wondering if you would volunteer" he whispered
"I will" Goliath nodded
In the medical bay, Brooklyn laid still with tubes going down his throat, into his noise and cables connected to a machine to his chest beeping the doctor walked forward
"We will scan your biological structure then input the data into our hand tracers, because we will have a basic structure we can scan for any vein brakes that maybe causing internal bleeding"
"Very well" Goliath agreed as a purple beam shone over his body. Seconds later it was off and Xanatos approached him again
"Goliath, I have an idea, it maybe possible to clone Brooklyn"
"No" he hissed
"We may not have any choice, the clone would share all of Brooklyn's memories and personality ."
"No I will not let you experiment on him"
"There is another way" Xanatos spoke "But you will not like it"
"What?" Goliath questioned I can place his brain into a modified Steel Clan Robot's exoskeleton and graph Brooklyn's skin onto it"
"Turn him into a robot you mean. If we cannot save him then he will die. I will not forcibly extend his lifetime just for our comfort"
"Even if it saves his life?" Xanatos asked
"Brooklyn is a valued member of the clan, but if he dies then he dies and will be remembered as a worthy fighter and my second in command"
"Very well I am sorry I brought it up" Xanatos apologised
"You were doing what you thought was right Xanatos, but Brooklyn's body is his own and we shall not change that"
