The year is 2001. The Twin Towers have just fallen. The city of New York is shaken to the core by their destruction. Fear and despair have kindled xenophobia in even the most rational. Amidst this, three young gargoyles take their first flight across New York, eager to see this brave new world. And in its depths, four brothers return home from a long exile after a crippling defeat. A completely new reimagining of both Gargoyles and TMNT, unique and untold online. The misunderstood warriors in the shadows of the skyscrapers navigate a dark world. One where peril and prejudice threaten to rip these two families apart, or set them on a blind collision course. Jalapeña! (Cross-posted on FF.net and AO3. Part 1 of 2)
