Chapter 13
Reawakening-The final episode of the first season
"Brookie, your out of your damn mind if you think I am going to glide tonight." Quinn deadpanned to her friend as he levitated in mid air, beckoning with one hand for her to follow him.
It had been about a month since 'The Rescue', as Cody called it, and so far, almost all of the Gargoyles had tried with all their might to teach Quinn how to glide; but whenever they did, it always ended up the same way. She dropped a few hundred feet until someone caught her and brought her back up to the clock tower.
Brooklyn rolled his eyes, "Your never going to be able to glide if you don't practice, Quinn." he said, to which she smiled at him cheekily, showing off her slightly pointy fangs.
The winged girl crossed her arms over her chest as he made her wings fold over her shoulders and clip in the front, her tail swiping lazily from side to side behind her, "Whoever said I wanted to learn to glide?" she asked incredulously, shivering ever so slightly as the cold winter air hit her.
Brooklyn looked at her disbelievingly, coming over to land next to her, "You mean to tell me, you never want to get around with your wings? That they're basically just gonna sit there on your back and gather dust?" he asked her.
Quinn sighed in exasperation, her tail mimicking her emotion, "No," she started going around him in a circle, "just until I'm comfortable with them, or if the situation was dire enough, then I'd use them." she said, placing her hands on the hand guard and looking out at all of New York that she could see.
Brooklyn came up next to her and placed one of his hands on top of her's, "What about your other abilities?" he asked her.
Quinn looked down at their hands like they were and blushed, hoping Brooklyn would mistake her reddened cheeks for the winter air hitting them, "Well, we don't know what I can do just yet. So, I guess the same thing goes for those." she said, looking up at the sky, she sighed, "Joaquin would love this view." she said.
She still had not been able to find Joaquin, not after he was kidnapped and taken from her and Julie, who was still in intensive care and had been visited by Quinn and Matt throughout the whole thing.
Brooklyn followed her gaze, "I'm sure we'll find him eventually, Quinn. Trust me." he said not noticing the presence of someone behind them until that someone cleared their throat to get their attentions.
Turning around, they both retracted their hands to their sides when they saw Cody leaning up against the wall, his hands in the pockets of his hoodie. Cody had been coming up to visit Quinn ever since 'The Rescue', and Brooklyn hated every visit.
Lexington and Broadway had decided to let the information that Cody and Quinn were only only 'siblings' and that's all they'll ever be, remain a secret from they're eldest Rookery brother until further notice. And Cody wasn't about to ruin that.
The human smirked at the two on the terrace, "Did I interrupt anything?" he asked rather cocky as he shifted his feet a little, finding it hard to stand still with the winter air.
Quinn was blushing again, "No, we were just talking." she said hastily, stuffing her hands in the pockets of her jeans, "What did you want, Code?" she asked him.
The black haired boy moved away from the doorway, pulling his right hand out of his pocket and walked over to her, "I brought you something." he opened his hand, revealing a pair of black aviator goggles with a brown leather strap on the back.
Quinn looked at them for a moment, "Why are you giving me goggles?" she asked him, looking up with inquisitive blue eyes.
"I figured, maybe it would help you learn to glide if you had something to block the wind from those pretty eyes of yours." he said with a smirk, glancing at Brooklyn out of the corner of his eye, smirking even more when he saw the red Gargoyle glaring at him profusely.
Quinn didn't notice the look as she reached out a hand and took the goggles from him, pulling the leather strap over the top of her head, she fit the goggles snugly over her eyes and looked at them, "What do you think?" she asked them.
To prevent Cody from saying something else about Quinn, Brooklyn walked closer to her, "I think they look great." he said, grimacing when Cody grinned at him.
Quinn brought her hands up to move the goggles to rest on the top of her head, "Thanks for the goggles, Cody. And thanks, Brooke." she said, closing her eyes and giving off a cute smile to her Gargoyle friend, before she turned around abruptly at the sound of an alarm from somewhere away from the clock tower.
Quinn leaned over the handle guard as she struggled to look out and see where it came from, "Did you guys hear that?" she asked, squinting her eyes to get a better picture.
Cody looked at her curiously, "Heard what?" he asked, Quinn turned her head sharply at him with a surprised expression.
"You didn't hear that alarm?" she asked him, and he shook his head no.
Brooklyn walked over to stand next to her, "I heard it. Hey, looks like you've got a Gargoyle's hearing, that's great!" he said it like it's the best thing in the world, but at the look on her face, he wished he hadn't said anything. Looking out at the city again, he strained his eyes to see where the alarm was coming from, "I can't see where it is." he finally gave up after a moment of silence.
Quinn hummed to herself as she looked down and saw about five squad cars from the Police station tear out onto the street, just as the sound of multiple footsteps came from the inside of the tower.
"Do you guys hear that?" Lexington asked as he, Broadway, Goliath, and Hudson came out to stand either next to or behind Quinn and Brooklyn.
Cody blinked, "Maybe I should get kidnapped by a mad scientist and allow them to turn me into a mutant." he muttered under his breath, only to be smacked really hard on the top of the head.
He looked up at Quinn as he slouched, holding onto his head with both hands, she still had her hand raised as if she meant to hit him again, "Not funny, Cody." she said, turning back to look out at the city while Brooklyn turned around to glare at him.
Cody glared right back at him, "What, bird?" he asked before Brooklyn growled low in his throat and turned back to look out again.
Quinn watched the squad cars drive off to the scene of the alarm, "Hmm." she muttered, seeming to lean out even farther as if she meant to touch the car and grab a hold to get there-
"Yes! She's finally going to glide!" Lex exclaimed in excitement as he watched his surrogate sister plant her feet on the hand guard and stand on the flat surface of it, her wings were just starting to extend when his voice brought her back to the present.
She jumped slightly and swiveled her head in his direction, before swiftly bringing her wings back to her body and jumping off the guard to stand with them, dipping her head down to hide her eyes with her bangs.
She felt a hand on her back, "Don't worry, Quinn," she heard Broadway's reassuring voice from behind her, "you'll get it in a while, I know it." he said, "Now, what was that sound?" he asked.
Cody shrugged from his position behind all of them, "Maybe it's just a burglary." he offered, but Quinn shook her head, having come out of the shadows.
"I doubt a simple burglary could get five squad cars down there.. Something's up." she said, before she turned around and stalked off into the tower, taking off her coat in the process.
The others followed her in there, just in time to see her pull her wings in and wrap around her waist, after twisting her tail up the length of her torso, before she stuck her hoodie back on and turned to Cody, "I need you to drive me down there, Code." was all she said before she walked away from them all, going down the staircase and out of sight.
Cody watched her go, "Was anyone else scared of the face she had when she told me to drive her?" he asked them.
Brooklyn looked at the way Quinn left, "Well, think about it, if you had been turned into something besides what you knew you were, wouldn't you wanna go out and catch a breath of air?" he asked them.
Goliath hummed to himself as he looked at the red Gargoyle, "For some reason, I doubt that is Quinn's intentions tonight." he said, casting a worried gaze over to the ladder that his daughter (A/N: If your wondering why I keep putting in family references, I thought it might be something a little sweet to add to this story.. I hope you guys agree.) had climbed down, before he turned back to the terrace, hoping to catch her before she did something drastic.
SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER
"The frak is that?" Quinn asked herself as she ducked behind a tipped over car on one side of the street that had been tossed carelessly to the side by a strangely Gargoyle looking being that had half of a robot mixed in his body.
Quinn had sprinted, rather fast compared to humans, down after the squad cars. Cody hadn't gotten down to his car fast enough to follow at a good enough speed to get here quick enough.
The being seemed to be looking for something, and having difficulty in finding it, for he got frustrated easily and was destroying just about anything and everything in his path.
"Where is he?!" he bellowed as he bent down and picked up a discarded truck tire from a semi that he had thrown in his blind rage, raised it above his head, and chucked in a random direction.
Sadly, it went towards a crying little girl with a big pink bow in her honey blonde hair, one that matched the pink sweater with pink leggings and matching skirt, and bright pink sneakers.
Quinn shot forward, finding her new found speed exhilarating as she sprinted towards the girl. When the tire was about to hit her, Quinn grabbed her and dashed across the street, out of the tire's impact zone.
The little girl, who couldn't have been older than three, had stopped crying long enough to see who her savior is, just to be put down on the ground and told to 'Stay here.' until the older girl came back.
Quinn turned to the being, who was looking at her with one glowing red eye and one normal, Gargoyle eye, "You there, child." he said, his rumbling voice reminding her vaguely of Goliath, "What are you?" he asked her, remotely calm for the moment.
Quinn circled him for a moment, "I'm human." she lied, she knew she wasn't human, but there were witnesses around the area, and she didn't want anyone to know that she was a half breed of something that they had never heard of besides the statues that perched on ledges of buildings in the city.
The being wasn't buying it, "If you are a human, then I am a pixie. No human has ever run that fast before, now what are you?" he asked again, losing his patience rather quickly.
Before she could answer, something swooped down and knocked the being back, getting his attention away from him.
Quinn smiled when she saw Goliath standing there in all his glory, before she looked back at the other being, "What is that thing?" she asked the lavender Gargoyle.
Goliath looked at the girl out of the corner of his eye, "It is an...abomination." was all he said before the being regained his balance.
The being looked up, only to see his reason for destroying everything, "Rookery brother?" he asked Goliath in disbelief, before he raised his arm and pointed at Goliath, "You betrayed us!" he yelled as some sort of laser looking thing popped out of his forearm.
Goliath's Rookery brother looked thoroughly startled at the sight of the object on his arm, "What sorcery is this?" he asked mainly to himself, before he was flung back onto his back by Goliath, who had chosen the moment when he was distracted to jump up and do a perfect flying kick that had Quinn cheering for him in the background.
The being jumped up as fast as he could and pointed behind Goliath, making the laser pop out again, and he fired at a building behind the lavender Gargoyle, instantly shooting a strong blast at the rock, causing it to fall and hit Goliath.
Quinn felt the urge to go and help Goliath, but a sharp, burning pain had erupted in her abdomen, making her fall to her knees and hold herself as she tried to will it away, but it wouldn't leave no matter how hard she tried.
Goliath had managed to dig himself out of the pile of rubble when the being shot another laser at him, the lavender Gargoyle barely had any time to get out of the way, and it singed his lone mane of dark brown hair at the very ends.
Goliath stood a little ways away from the thing that had attacked him, "Quinn, are you alright?" he asked the girl who was still kneeling on the ground and holding her stomach with a grimace. The girl nodded once before another wave of pain got her and she had to get even lower to the ground, crunching her stomach closer.
The Clan leader was about to go over to help her, when the sound of talking caught his attention, and he looked at the other being in time to catch a few words, "I am Coldstone. And you will pay for what you did to me!" Coldstone was yelling at Goliath, the laser still out and pointed at him.
Goliath rushed at him, knocking him to the ground with a roar of unsuppressed rage and pinning him there by his shoulders, then he recognized the half robotic face, "You are my Rookery brother!" he shouted almost gleefully at seeing him alive.
Coldstone however, glared daggers up at him, "And you are my betrayer!" he retorted, using the laser to blast up at Goliath, hitting him in the stomach and sending him flying into the air.
SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER
"Brooklyn, I'm sure she's okay! Just slow down, will ya? I can't go as fast as you can!" Brooklyn slowed down to a bare minimum at Lexington's request even though he was trying to get to Quinn as fast as he could at the moment.
She hadn't bothered to wait for any of them, even though she had asked Cody for a ride, but he wasn't fast enough for her likings (Brooklyn suppressed the urge to smile slyly at this thought), and she had gone without any of them.
"I can see them!" Broadway suddenly shouted from above him, and they all shot forward in an attempt to get there in time.
SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER
Another blast sound coming from somewhere in front of her head told Quinn that Coldstone was firing at Goliath again. Cringing, she looked up, only to see Goliath knocked out cold from a piece of the rock that had fallen, and Coldstone was advancing on him as he meant to finish him off.
Quinn felt something surging through her at that moment, something that felt much better than the pain in her abdomen, and it traveled up her arms until it made it to the palms of her hands, "Get away from him!" she cried out to Coldstone as she released the feeling.
That ended up with Coldstone having fire cover his entire body.
The half robot screeched as he tried to get the fire to move away from him, and Quinn took the chance to look down at her hands, jumping up to her feet when she saw they were covered in fire.
She expected the fire to burn her, to leave her hands looking like she had stuck them inside a roaring fireplace at one point, but instead, it didn't burn. Didn't even singe her skin in the slightest. In fact, it was a very pleasant feeling to have on her skin.
'What in the?' she asked herself, before she remembered what Demona had done to her at Xanatos', 'This must've been what she was doing with that spell!' she summed up, getting a wicked grin on her face as she looked at Coldstone, who was still panicking over the fire on his body.
"Whoa, Quinn, what did you do?" she turned around, the grin still on her face when she saw the Trio gliding down to land next to her.
"Remember that weird tribal fire mark on my abdomen? I found out what it does." she said, drawing a conclusion about said mark.
They looked at Coldstone as he started huffing out loud after he had gotten the fire put out, behind him, Goliath had woken up and was rubbing his head furiously as if he was afraid he had lost it.
Brooklyn stood to Quinn's right, "Goliath," he addressed his leader, who looked up at him, still slightly dazed, "what is that thing?" he asked, pointing at Coldstone.
Goliath jumped up and circled his older Rookery brother, making his way to stand with his clan members, "It is one of us.. Or used to be." he finished as Coldstone decided to raise his arm again and point his laser at the Wyvern clan.
SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER
Xanatos and Demona stood in his office, watching the camera for the street that the battle was taking place at. Xanatos pursed his lips, "Looks like our boy is having trouble making friends." he said, turning to the female Gargoyle behind him, but she wasn't listening.
Demona was staring intently at Quinn on the computer monitor, "Did you see the power she just exhibited? I knew the spell was strong, but it's incredible." she said with slight pride.
Xanatos nodded, "Yes, she is incredible isn't she?" he turned to her medical file that he always kept on his desk at all times, "Maybe we should give this to her, allow her to know what exactly she's capable of." he smiled at Demona, who nodded vigorously, obviously excited he suggested this.
SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER
"Why are you attacking us?" Goliath demanded as he stood in front of his younger clan members, his wings stretched out to try and hide them from Coldstone's view.
Coldstone glared daggers at him, "You betrayed the clan! Destroyed it!" he answered, taking a threatening step forward, like he was ready to spring for an attack.
Goliath shook his head from side to side, "We were all betrayed." he said exasperatedly, unaware of the other beings that were floating above their heads, until one spoke.
"Too true." a female's voice chimed out at them. Looking up, they saw Demona, accompanied by a Gargoyle armored Xanatos and one other steel Gargoyle.
Quinn wished so much that she knew how to glide, that would make her strong want to hurt them much easier than her waiting for them on the ground. She could feel the fire starting to spread to her palms again, but she fought it down, noticing the civilians that were starting to gather around the scene.
Goliath wasn't paying attention, "You told him these lies." he realized, his wings flaring out, "I lived for my clan!" he cried in outrage.
Demona bent her head down towards him, a grimace on her face, "And they died for you! Smashed to dust by the humans you trusted!" she retorted, before she crossed her arms and grinned at Quinn, "How are you doing my dear?" she attempted to have a pleasant conversation with the girl.
"I would be much better if you hadn't turned me into a freak." Quinn said it low enough so that only the Gargoyles could hear, aware of a female's presence behind her that smelled distinctly like a human.
Demona sighed, "Why won't you see that we did it to help you?" she cried desperately, flinging her arms in the air before she turned back to Goliath, "Anyways, Goliath," she started, "you have your clan, and I have mine." she said.
The lavender Gargoyle pointed up at her, "You have no clan!" he shouted, "You don't know the meaning of the word!"
Demona looked down at Coldstone, who had remained silent during all this time, "Destroy them, Coldstone." she deadpanned, when Xanatos' voice came out from his mask.
"No!" he shouted, the sound magnified tenfold in his helmet, "I want them alive!" he finished.
The female Gargoyle ignored him, looking down at the half robot with determination on her harsh face, "Destroy them and we will survive!" she called down to him.
Coldstone looked up at her, his robotic eye zooming in on her, "Survive? Like this?" he referred to him destroying his Rookery brother.
Demona started shouting at him, barely making any sense with what she was saying since she was angry beyond belief, but Coldstone wasn't listening.
Goliath had walked forward to stand a few feet away from him, "There has been enough death," he took another step, "there are so few of us left, my brother." he finished this in a mere whisper.
Brooklyn looked around at the multiple press cars that had started to show up at the scene, tugging on Quinn's hoodie, he pointed at one, "Doesn't look like we can keep our secret anymore, Quinn." he looked at her desperately, asking for help.
Quinn rushed towards Goliath, "There are too many people here!" she called to him.
Goliath looked back at her for a second, before he looked up to Xanatos, "I'm sure you can communicate through your robots." to this, the man nodded, "Then perhaps we should meet at a more discreet location." he offered.
Xanatos seemed to think about a place for a moment, "How about the only bridge that's under construction at the moment?" he offered.
Goliath nodded, "Sounds promising. We shall meet there." he said, before he jumped up in the air and glided away, Lexington and Broadway were following him.
Demona, Coldstone, Xanatos, and the robot left in the opposite direction, probably thinking they'd head them off at a closer distance than the bridge; leaving Quinn and Brooklyn in the street.
Quinn looked at Brooklyn with a slightly worried expression, "What are you doing?" she demanded.
Brooklyn walked over to her, "How about I carry you there?" he asked her, albeit rather hopeful.
Quinn shook her head, noticing how almost all the reporters were starting to focus their cameras on the couple, "I'll be fine, I can run fast, I should be able to get there in a few short minutes." she said hastily, then saw his dejected look. Making a split second decision, she stood on her toes and kissed his cheek chastely, catching him off guard, "Thank you for the offer though." she said when she pulled away.
Brooklyn grinned stupidly as he turned and ran off in the direction his clan members had taken off in, leaving Quinn behind.
Quinn turned and ran down the street, leaving behind all the people that were gathering in the street, her body was nothing but a blur as she streaked past them all and headed to the bridge.
Unknown to her, a woman with dark brown hair that was layered, had chosen that moment to jump into a cab and follow them all, she had been behind the girl when she heard the rather handsome lavender beast talking about meeting at a different place, and the metal thing said to meet at the bridge under construction.
That was where she was headed.
SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER
Quinn made it to the bridge in record time, checking her watch on her wrist, she saw it had taken her no more than fifteen minutes to get there, but she was a little out of breath because of how hard she had to push herself.
Looking around, she saw that the others had beaten her to the bridge, and a full fledged fight had broken out.
She watched anxiously as Brooklyn hit Demona on her back, making her fall forward; Broadway and Lexington were working on fighting off Xanatos and the robot that had been with them to notice that Goliath and Coldstone were up on the top of the pillar, slipping on ice and snow as they fought each other.
Brooklyn landed at her side with a rather loud thud, knocking him out cold for the moment when Demona threw him off her back, "Brooklyn!" Quinn shouted, rushing forward and helping him sit up, he had a bruise forming on his torso, and a fairly large cut on his bicep probably from Demona's claw.
She attempted to get him to sit up, and she succeeded, but to keep him up, she had to be able to sit behind him to support him, and she needed to go out and help the Gargoyles.
"Brooke? Can you hear me?" she asked him, placing one hand on his cheek to guide his head in her direction, but he didn't answer, in fact his head flopped back lazily when she let go. This worried the red haired girl greatly.
She didn't have time to worry long however, when the sound of yelling caught her attention. Looking up, she saw Goliath and Coldstone falling off the pillar, grappling with each other on the way down, until they broke the frozen, icy surface of the cold Hudson river.
Quinn stood up, letting Brooklyn fall back to the ground as she attempted to get to the river, only to be stopped when Lexington and Broadway held her back, "No! You'll drown with them!" they all looked up in shock when Demona shouted this at Quinn, her arm was outstretched as if she meant to touch the girl.
Quinn still fought against them, "I can't let them die!" she cried out, only to promptly shut her mouth when a being shot out from the icy water.
The being landed in the middle of the bridge, they all recognized it as Coldstone, and he was holding Goliath in his arms as if he were his bride.
Quinn, Lex, and Broadway all rushed forward to get to them first, each one attacking the Gargoyle-robot with questions. Coldstone didn't answer them at first, merely set Goliath on the ground, then, "He lives." was all he said as Quinn ran over and wrapped her arms around the lavender Gargoyle's neck when he started sputtering up mucky river water.
Demona looked down at Quinn hugging Goliath, "Thank you, Coldstone. Now leave him to me." she said, taking a step forward.
Quinn looked at her from over Goliath's shoulder, before she abruptly let the Gargoyle go and stood up, holding her hands up, she felt the fire return to her, spreading to her palms again and lighting her hands on fire, "Your gonna have to get through me if you want him." she threatened at Demona's surprised expression, trying to ignore the glee that replaced it afterwards.
There was a gasp behind all of them, and they turned around, only to see a woman that looked about twenty two with dark brown hair and blue eyes, a horrified expression on her fair skinned face, "W-what the hell?" she stuttered, backing up towards the bars of the bridge.
Quinn put her fire out and she moved towards the woman, "Ma'am, it's okay, they're not going to hurt you." she said, moving her hands towards the woman as she heard a groan behind her, Brooklyn must've woken up.
The woman kept moving backwards, "What are you?!" she demanded, recalling how the girl's hands had lit on fire a few seconds ago.
Quinn didn't get a chance to answer however, because the woman had backed all the way to the edge of the bars, and had fallen back. Going down to the freezing water bellow the bridge.
Making a split second decision, Quinn jumped over the edge after her, leaving behind multiple voices shouting at her to stop.
Quinn felt the wind rushing past her face, hitting her eyes as she fell, then she remembered the goggles Cody had given her, and how her wings were tucked to her torso. Struggling to move her arms, she brought them up and pulled her goggles over her eyes, blinking rapidly as she unzipped her hoodie, revealing her black tank top underneath as she unleashed her blue and gray wings, her tail moving out from under her shirt as well.
She shot forward, her hands outstretched to the woman, "Take my hand!" she shouted, seeing the water coming up fast.
The woman looked at her appearance before she took the hands and clung to the girl for dear life.
Quinn took in a deep breath as she slowly stretched out her wings, instantly catching a strong draft of air and floating there, with the woman clinging onto her.
Quinn moved her body forward, which made her wings move in that direction too, she risked a look down at the water, seeing how she narrowly missed it, decided to slowly make her way upwards by using her wings.
Then she realized, 'I'm gliding! I'm actually gliding!' she thought ecstatically, thinking she could take a few moments to have a little fun with this, then remembered that she had the woman to get back up to the bridge, so she angled her body upwards and shot up with incredible speed.
She made it up to the edge of the bridge when a gust of air hit her from the left side, knocking her off balance. Reaching up with one hand, she grabbed the edge and started to haul up the woman with a little difficulty.
She looked to the side when she heard a splash, just in time to see Goliath dive into the water after Coldstone, who had supposedly fallen in.
Looking down at the woman, "Could you please grab the ledge?" she asked politely, to which the woman nodded and slowly reached up to take the ledge.
Quinn used her strength to get herself up, before she bent down and grabbed the woman by her wrists and pulled her up as well.
The woman was shuddering a little bit at the aftershock, Quinn walked away form her, only to see Demona pointing a gun at the trio.
She said something illegible, starting to pull the trigger, when another blast got it out of her hands.
Quinn saw Xanatos holding up his hand in her direction, the gun smoking after the shot, "I told you before," he started, "I want them alive." he then noticed Quinn standing there, her hands outstretched towards him and fire starting to form on them.
She glared at him, "It's over." she said. Xanatos smirked underneath his helmet.
"On the contrary, my dear." he said, before a packet opened up on his arm, he reached in, and pulled out a file with Quinn's name on it, "Thought you'd want this." he said, tossing it in her direction, before he took off heading for Demona, he scooped her up and shot up into the sky, away from them.
Quinn walked forward and grabbed up the file, before she felt a hand on her back. Turning around, she saw Brooklyn with a happy grin on his face, "You did it." he breathed, "You finally glided." he said, only to have the wind knocked out of him when she crushed him with a hug.
"Your alright!" she shouted happily, her tail slashing behind her giddily.
Brooklyn chuckled at her, "You were worried?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist in return.
Quinn pulled back slightly to look in his eyes, "Of course I was." she said, staring straight into his black eyes with her own blue ones, her head leaning forward unconsciously, his following her's.
They're eyes were about to slip closed when a voice stopped them, "What was that monster?" they jumped apart at Lex's question, both blushing madly at the moment they just shared.
Goliath grunted as he hoisted himself up onto the bridge, "That was no monster. He was family." was all he said as he strolled past them all, casting glances in Quinn and Brooklyn's directions as he saw them look away form each other, "And now, he's gone." he finished, before he stopped walking, bent his head and sighed, "Let's go home." he said before he stretched his wings, then remembered something. Turning back to Quinn, he smiled despite his foul mood, "I am very proud of you, Quinn. That was wonderful." he congratulated on learning to glide.
Quinn smiled back at him, stretching her wings out, she jumped up and caught a draft of air as the others did the same, then they all turned and headed home, leaving the hysterical woman behind.
Little did they know that they would be seeing her soon.
SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER-SPACER
"You know, Cody." Quinn addressed her friend on the top of a building at the beginnings of dawn, sitting closely to Brooklyn's statue form.
Cody looked at her from his position on the other side of her, "What?" he asked.
Quinn took in a contented breath, "This city is feeling a whole lot safer already." she replied, leaning back onto Brooklyn's knee after recalling Goliath saying that this city was their home, and they would protect it with their life.
And end season 1!
