DIS: I don't own em!

Alright. This is my first Gargoyles fic. I would watch Disney's Gargoyles and other cartoons faithfully. I move over seas before the second season. When I got back they had taken off air. THEN, years later, we get Toon Disney and WOW , I see a commercial saying 11 o'clock, blah blah. It was sooooooooooo happy, RIGHT! Then I have to move BACK over seas. I get here and Disney broadcast to Saudi Arabia (this is VERY odd being that I lived here a total of 5 years and I KNOW the probability of getting what you want) And the second day I get here I flip to our new channels and BOOM, Goliath's growling his way to life and speaking about 3000 years ago. I screamed and stayed glued to the tv. BONUS! I caught X-men from the very start on Fox Kids( think of all the old cartoons they use to have ya know, Bobby's World, Eak the Cat, AND they got REN AND STIMPY! SO I'm a happy child at heart.) I had to tell someone my good fortune so pretend that you care.

N-E-WAY, Elisa and the clan are just meeting in this fic.

FIC PIMP COMES OUT: Got read, Made Of Steel my Batman Beyond fic.

______________________________________________________________________________

Welcome to the Big Apple. Home of all races, color, and creed. The city for the young Bohemians. Actors, singer, writers, and anyone seeking to make it big. I wont bore you with all the details that I'm sure your familiar with. I'll send you a post card but for now let me introduce you to one of life's mistakes.

"It was a monster, it had huge wings and glowing red eyes." Stan "sticky finger" McCane ranted. His hand bent back, cuffed. He has just violated his parole by breaking into the car that now sits totally trashed. The street was blocked off with flares, headlights from Elisa's and Matt's cars lite their way.

Detective Maza and Detective Bluestone of Manhattan's 23th precinct, followed through the crime scene as they usually would. Matt lead the crook to the police car. Stan's partner lay on the sidewalk hog tide after trying to get away.

" Was this before you used these?." Elisa asked sarcastically finding a dirty used needle in the front seat and sliding it in a evidence bag. Stan's little helper lifted his head from the pavement.

" Honest, we hit it with or car." He pleaded. Matt walked over to him and hosted up and tossed him in the back with his friend.

Elisa walked around to the front of the car and peered under. " So where is it than."

The two man looked at each other and then up at the sky. Matt and Elisa hesitated but looked up. The pitch black sky was all to greet them. Elisa was beginning to get annoyed. She walked back to the car and looked in at the druggies. "Where's the bag?" She asked. Stan looked over at her, he had began to sweat and his eyes were as large as her head lights.

" It stole the jewels and flew away."

This is why I should retire early. She thought standing up and walking over to her car. Down the street a few police cars came forward.

" Back up here, I'm going back to the station." She announced getting in and turning on the engine. Matt waved and started filling in the new cops on the scene."

Back at the station.

Elisa pulled the files from the bottom desk drawer. She put the copy of McCane's statement in. She tucked them under her arm. Then, walked over to the refreshment table, poured herself a cup of coffee, one cream two sugars.

"Kam. I'll be in IR 2 for awhile."

Kam nodded. " Hey, Elisa."

She stopped, walked over to his desk. He handed her a pen and paper. " I'm going over to my parents restaurant, I'm taking orders."

Elisa set her coffee down and started to write. " What's that rice I had last time with the beef and broccoli?"

Kam said the name, but in Chinese. Elisa looked up; not amused. Kam laughed and grabbed the paper to write it for her.

Elisa shut the door of Interrogation Room 2. She spread the file's content out on the table.

Five different statements all saying the same thing. Two of them didn't even speak the same language, the other three were upper class big shots, all screaming about gargoyles coming to life, with white glowing eyes and leather loin cloths, and... " They 're all somking the same thing." She mumbled.

The door busted open. Kam tossed her a radio, " McCane jacked a squad car."

" Shit." Elisa sighed. She pushed the papers together and ran out.

"Where is he?" She asked dumping them on her desk, putting her holster and jacket on.

"He's going towards Xanato's......"Kam shut is mouth fast. Elisa's movements slowed. This was usually the part when she would give an empty death threat at mentioning that name within earshot and walk off. Kam went to apologize, but she cut him off.

"Xanato's home base?" She finished his sentence. Kam nodded, glad to see a sign of the old Detective Maza coming back from the last years incident.

He handed her the two way radio as she ran out of the sation.

She pulled her car key out her pocket, put the mic to her ear. " Bluestone, give me your 20." She unlocked the door, got in and started the car.

The radio clicked, Matt came back.. "He's coming up right behind you."

Elisa's puzzled look was whipped from her face when she turned around and the run away felon flew past her, honking the horn to get the people out of the street. Elisa cringed as a civilian just barley jumped away from the bummer of the stolen police car.

" Elisa, we're 2 mintues behind him." Elisa punched the gas. She took off after him. They sped through the city streets. She pushed 90mph to keep up with him.

" Bluestone, there's nowhere for him to turn off, go to Xan Tec. HB. Cut him off."

" Copy that."

Stan looked in his review mirror. That cop chick was still there. He should have gone to the riverbank, or Time Square. Anywhere but past the cop sation.

"STUPID STUPID STUPID.." He yelled banging his head on the stirring wheel. His head jerked up. There were flashing lights everywhere. He slammed on the breaks, burning a rubber trail down the street. Elisa slowed down and snatched the car left using it as a barrier incase he tried to back out.

After the squealing tires stopped and the smoke cleared. Stan sat, his eyes so wide it looked like they could just pop out. Elisa got out the car, Pulled her gun. The other cops stood aimed at the car standing behind their car doors. Bluestone inched forward as well.

" Cut the engine. " He yelled. Stan didn't move.

Elisa inched up to the rare of the car, she slowly walked past the back door until she could see into the driver side window. Matt stood about a foot from the bumper pointing at the clear shot he had of Stan. Elisa tapped the window. " Hey, Stan do as he said."

"NO!" Stan yelled.

" Why not?" Matt yell back.

"Cause she's going to beat me up, and then you'll write up and report about how I resisted arrest." He whined pointing back at Elisa. Matt relaxed his stand, choked back a laugh.

Elisa sighed, lowered her gun. " Stan if you do as he says, I won't hurt you."

"Yes you will, and I'll be to high to remember it tomorrow."

Elisa walked out about a foot from the car window. " Stan, If you make me get you out this car, I WILL hurt you. Now unlock the door and get out."

Stan put his head down. He reached over and turned the engine off. Matt waved for the other cops to put away their guns. Stan unlocked the door, peaked out to Elisa. She put her gun away and back off a bit so he could get out. Stan slowly got out the car, shut the door, put his hands on his head and turned around, still looking back at Elisa.

Matt pulled his handcuffs out. Elisa flow forward. Stan jumped back and pulled Matt in front of him. " But you said you wouldn't hurt me."

"I lied." Elisa growled as Matt pushed her back, laughing. Elisa took a deep breathe and backed off.

The other cops had started to pull off, some laughing at Stan, other laughing at Maza, Some stayed to push away bystanders.

A woman screamed from behind them. Matt and Elisa looked back to her, then up to where she was looking. Elisa's mouth dropped open, the biggest rock she had ever seen was coming down right on top of them. Matt pushed Stan back. Elisa ran forward, just missing the rock as it hit the ground. The sky began the rain rocks and cement around them. Another large one fall less then a foot behind her feet. She fall forward crawled over to jumbled mess of a police car for defense.

People ran all around her dodging the attacks. She put her arm up for protection from the smaller rocks. She looked up into the clouds. They flashed like lightening. There was a loud explosion above Matt's head. From the shadows of the sky, larger pieces descended to the ground.

" Elisa get out of the way!" He yelled.

Elisa heard Matt's yell to her. She looked over the car to him, then up. She jumped over, slide across the hood of the car and ran like hell. The bolder crashed a top the car, and all around. Matt grabbed Elisa's arm yanked her out of harms way. The clung to the side of a building.

Just as sudden as all of it begun it stopped. No more sounds of crashing rocks, or screams, just dust. They pulled their coats over their mouths and nose, couching for air. Matt ran over to help some people up. Elisa slowly walked through the smoke, around the mess looking for victims. She keep up to the flatten car she thought would shield her from the big mass that now lay on top.

She blinked away dirt from her eyes, she thought she saw something. Her hand came up and scrapped across the side of the metal support column that protruded the side. Four, long narrow trenches were dug out.

"It's solid steel." She whispered in disbelieve. From above, she heard the sound of the air wisping. A light breeze cut across the smoke. " Hello?" She called. She could have sworn someone ran pass her. From within the smoke a small beeping noise started. Elisa twirled around in confusion of where it was coming from, but just as it began it stopped.

"Elisa, I need your help over here. " Matt called out. Elisa looked into the dust fog skeptically, than turned to go help her partner.

______________________________________________________________________________

A small webbed wing creature glide through the smoke. He landed on the ground in a swoop. He stood up, looked around the disaster area for any injured humans.

"Hello?" Someone yelled. He looked to his left. A woman slowly walked towards him. He sunk low to the ground, backed out of her way. She stepped right in front of him. All he could make out was that her hair was black and her cloths were a little torn, but she seemed to be unharmed. When she hesitated, he thought she would look down and see him. He grit his teeth and waited for her scream. She turned walked off to another voice. The little gargoyle stood up and ran throw the dust cloud into the nearest alleyway. He laddered his way up the side of the building, digging his claws into the bricks until he reached the top. He turned, waited for a up draft, and let go. He spread his wings out, catching the air under his wings. He rode the current up to the roof of his new home. His gargoyle brothers walked over to him eagerly waiting his report. The oldest gargoyle called Goliath, their leader, to where the others gathered. The little one waited for him to step over before speaking.

"The smoke made it hard to see but no one was hurt."

The leader of the pack stepped forward, his lavender brow set hard. "Are you sure?" His tone was hard. The little one understood that his anger wasn't directed towards them.

"Yes."

"Were you seen?" He asked.

The little one shook his head no. Goliath walked over to ledge. The nosie from below ringing in his ears. He turned to the others. " We will find a new place to sleep today."

Elisa flicked her loft apartment lights on. She fall against the door with a sigh and kicked a bucket full of paint out her way. The silence of the room reminding her she was in her own little heaven. She slurred around the room dropping an arm full of files and her jacket off until she reached the kitchen. She put the kettle on, walked over to her open wall of windows. Since she couldn't smell the drying paint anymore she begin to pull them close. Her new home needed a major make over, all she had to do was put another coat of paint and she would be done. She started making kissing sounds out in the air. A fluffy gray cat ran in the room, onto the couch. " There you are."

The cat licked at his paws before answering. Elisa walked over sat down, picked him up, rubbed the back of his ears. " Cagney, go run me some bath water and I'll feed you." She waited a second. Cagney got down, and went over to food bowl. She nodded her understanding,

"Alright, How about I run my own bath and feed you anyway."

After doing both, she slipped into to her hot bubble bath. Her aching arms reminded her that she left work but work hadn't left her.
