Angel in the Attic
Chapter 4

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta lisa and thanks to everyone who reviewed
This chapter a friendly game goes bad and an old foe returns to cause trouble.

The next day was like any other day at the Xavier institute.
The students were either enjoying the Sunday off or using it to study and finish homework. The teachers were either preparing for the next day or enjoying the time off.
Michael had given no thought to the strange dream that happened last night. Figuring it was just some strange thing his mind created, he told no one about it.
Many of the students were looking forward to tonight. Everyone knew Jay had a gig tonight at a local club and were planning on going to see it. Jay was well known for his singing talent.
Michael was at the moment looking at himself in the mirror. Since being at the school he had gained some weight, now being able to eat at his leisure he was able to add some body weight. Plus, add the time he spent in the gym, and he was starting to build some muscle.
He no longer looked malnourished; he was still a bit thin but he was starting to look more and more normal...well, as normal as a kid with wings can look.
And his skin had gotten some sun from all the time he spent outside; he no longer had that deathly pale tint to his skin. He was still pale but it was healthier looking.
Michael was not vain, but he was glad to see the change. To him it was a sign of something good that he could never achieve at his house. His father only fed him for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but as punishment for doing poorly on a test or not cleaning his room; Michael would have to forgo a meal.
He was never allowed outside to play and when he did go out it was under the watchful eye of his family. But here he could go and do as he pleased.
It wasn't easy though, most of his time he did spend in his room. He only went out if Jay was with him or one of the other students. Michael was simply not used to just going somewhere by himself without company. But he was trying to break the habit.
Like Warren, Michael's body processed food differently. He burned calories more so he wouldn't need to worry about becoming obese. It was easier for him then most to stay fit. He had tried all kinds of new foods rich in nutrients and fats. He got a little over excited at dinner, having eaten enough food to feed three men, but the food was so wonderful.
He knew he was still growing. He had a broad chest and wide shoulders, by the time he turns twenty he will have grown some inches, helping him look more intimidating and add a sense of masculinity that his face lacked.
Now he looked like a little angel. When he grows up he will look like a big strong angel.
He decided to start the day off by hitting the gym. He knew Jay would be down there already with the other New Mutants.
Putting on his gym gear, which was a pair of black shorts and a wife beater, he headed down to the gym. The danger room was only used for extreme training; otherwise people used the gym to just lift weights and some other exercises.
Exercises that didn't involve fighting for your life.

The gym already had some students there. Some were lifting weights, some were running laps, and others were doing some kind of activity.
But when Michael walked in all eyes turned towards him. He pretended to not notice. He kept his eyes to the ground and walked over to Jay and his friends.
"Hey Mich," Jay said as he lifted a weight with his right arm.
"Hey, Michael," Noriko said as she and the other girls had dreamy looks on their faces. Michael wasn't the only one who noticed the muscles he had grown.
"Hello," Michael said.
While Michael began to grab some weights to lift, he noticed Julian was over with his team the Hellion's.
Sooraya Qadir codenamed Dust, was a mutant from the Middle East with the power to turn into a living sandstorm and rip the flesh from her enemy's bones. She wore a tighter fitting suit then what she normally wore.
Mercury, whose friends called her Cessily, a being made out of living metal, was helping her teammate Keven, also known as Wither, lift some weights. Keven's power allowed him to absorb the moisture in living beings; all it took was one touch. He had to wear special clothes, because anything made from cotton would wither as well. Since Cessily was made from metal she did not have to fear his touch.
Santo, the giant golem known as Rockslide, was doing a few push-ups. His teammate Brian, codenamed Tag, a boy with dark brown skin and black dreds, sat on his back, adding some weight to Rockslide's massive build, not that it mattered much. Tag's power was that he could create a special signature on whomever or whatever he touched that either drew people to what he taggedor caused them to run away from the thing or person he tagged.
Cessily and Sooraya were trying to work, but their eyes kept on drifting over to Michael. It was a little unsettling for Sooraya as she had strong morals that prevented her from looking at a man in such a fashion, but even her iron sensibilities were no match for Michael's looks.
Plenty of other girls in the gym were watching Michael work out. Julian was watching as well, but it was with a deep frown.
It was not until Cessily accidentally let go of the weights she was helping Keven lift that attention was diverted from Michael.
"Cess!" Keven exclaimed, as he struggled to keep the metal bar from crushing him.
"Sorry!" Cessily replied, grabbing the bar and helping him lift it up.
They placed it back on the alcove and Keven cracked his hands. "What happened? Why weren't you paying attention?" Keven asked.
"I'll give you a hint," Julian said with a note of anger in his voice.
Santo chuckled. "Heh, Cess is checking out Angel Jr."
"I was not!" Cessily said. Had she any blood she would be blushing.
"Please, you were raping him with your eyes," Brian said.
"Keep it up and I will got Terminator on your ass," Cessily threatened. Her fingers elongated into vicious looking knives.
"You're not the only one looking," Julian said.
He saw how Sofia was watching Michael. Jealousy was rearing its ugly head in him. He was sick and tired of how everyone treated him. Like he was something special; all he had was a pair of wings and good looks. Like he was any better than all the other misfits they brought to this place.
Deciding to take the new guy down a peg or two, Julian telekinetically grabbed a nearby basketball. It glowed with a green aura and floated over to him. "Hey guys, you up for a game of ball?" he asked.
"Sure," Brian said getting off Santo's back.
"I'm in," Cessily said.
"I'll sit this one out," Sooraya said, already knowing where this was going.
"I'm in," Santo said.
Keven didn't say anything, no way could he risk playing any game that involved physical contact.
"Alright, let's get some more players," Julian said with a smile.
Josh sat his knees on Michael's feet as Michael did his sit-ups.
He had just done his twenty-fifth sit-up when Julian and some of his friends showed up.
"Hey losers, want to get schooled?" Julian asked.
Sofia instantly went into leader mode. "We'll see who gets schooled Keller!" she said.
"Alright, all we need are five players."
"I'll sit this one out," Laurie said.
"Me to," Josh said.
The real reason Josh wanted to sit it out was because he wanted to hang out with Laurie. Keven got a slightly sad look on his face that went unnoticed. He had feelings for Laurie, but everyone knew her and Josh were an item. He knew he could never touch her without killing her, but it did not make him feel any less sad.
"Well then we need one more player. Michael you in?" Sofia asked.
Julian smirked, this was going better then he planned.
"Sure...what are we playing?" Michael asked.
"Duh, basketball," Julian said twirling the ball on his finger.
"Oh, I never played before," Michael said.
"Don't worry, I will give you some pointers," Jay said.
The players all went to the nearest open hoop. Jay explained the rules and how to play to Michael. The Hellion's had first serve.
Many of the students stopped their workouts to watch the game. Everyone knew the Hellions and New Mutants had a strong rivalry; just as their predecessors did many years ago.
Julian and Sofia squared off. Julian made the ball hover between them in the air.
"Ready?" he asked with a smirk.
"Ready as I will ever be," she said.
He dropped the ball and they both jumped up in the air to grab it. Julian being taller than Sofia got to the ball first.
He ran off with it, dribbling as he did. The New Mutants chased after him. Santo being so large was able to block some of them. David and Michael waited for Julian by the basket. David ran after him, but Julian anticipated this and dodged him.
David cursed. "Get him Michael!"
Michael gulped. Julian was coming right at him, he was the only one who stood between him and the basket and he did not want to be the one who let the other team get the first score.
He spread out his arms and got ready to move. He thought for sure Julian was going to ram into him. Then he turned, bearing his shoulder at him. Michael tried to grab the ball but Julian roughly pushed him sending him back.
Michael landed on his backside with a grunt and Julian tossed the ball and it landed right in the hoop.
Julian pumped his fist in the air in victory. Sofia went right up to him and pushed him on the chest.
"What the hell was that Keller?" she demanded.
"What?" Julian asked.
"You pushed him!"
"I was defending myself, not my fault he sucks."
"You are such a jerk Keller!"
"Hey, hate the game not the player baby," Julian said with a smirk.
Sofia was tempted to punch him right in the face. Jay helped Michael up. "You okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I am fine," Michael said.
"There see, no harm done, so let's keep going already," Julian said.
They continued to play and much to his frustration Michael was not doing so well. He tried to get the ball but he was always dodged, he tried blocking but they side stepped him, even when it was his turn with the ball, it seemed like he only had it for a few seconds before it was snatched out of his hands.
Julian seemed especially aggressive with him. He always seemed to elbow him or ram into him particularly hard. Michael was too soft spoken to say anything; he figured Julian was just a hard player. The others noticed Julian's behavior and knew he had it out for Michael.
When they took a break and circled up Sofia was livid.
"That little prick!" she cursed.
"Seriously, why is he picking on Michael?" Noriko asked.
"Come on guys, I am sure it is nothing," Michael said trying to calm everyone down.
His body protested. He was starting to feel sore and was sure he was going to develop bruises later.
"Trust us man, we know Keller. He is gunning for you," David said.
"Me? Why me?" Michael asked. He tried to think of a time he could have done something to make Keller angry with him. The only time he had seen him was in the common room his first day, and a few times in the hall. He could not recall anything he had done or said to Julian.
The others however, had a good idea why Julian was acting like this. Sofia was feeling anger that Julian was using her as an excuse to hurt Michael. It wasn't his fault he was so damn good looking.
Jay was especially upset. He did not like the fact Julian was hurting his friend and roommate all because he was jealous of the attention Sofia had been showering Michael with.
"Alright, Noriko, you stay with Michael, keep Keller away from him," Sofia said.
"No!" Michael said. He did not want to be protected at all. "That will give you guys a disadvantage if Noriko is looking after me."
"We can't just let Keller beat up on you. Maybe you should just quit," Jay said.
Michael shook his head. "If he has a problem he can come up to me and we can talk about it, but I am not going to let you guys lose because of me."
"You give him too much credit," Noriko said glaring over at Julian.
"Just forget about me guys, I will be fine," Michael said.
"Are you sure?" Sofia asked.
"Yes," Michael said firmly.
"Alright then."
Sofia began to go over the game plans. They walked back over and assumed their positions.
Once again Michael was at the basket.
When the ball dropped, everyone was a flurry of motion. David tossed the ball to Jay who tossed it to Noriko. Santo blocked her path and she went to toss the ball to Sofia but Julian grabbed the ball out of the air and ran for the basket.
Michael steeled himself, promising not to let Julian make the goal.
Julian smirked and something in Michael was annoyed at the smirk; like Julian already decided he was going to make the shot.
Michael had not done anything this exciting since before his mutation. When he was a kid he played games like tag and hide and seek.
Being locked up for so long he had forgotten the feeling of competition; of the desire to win.
Julian was fast though, very fast. He was more fit than Michael, more experienced on the court. Michael wished he was faster; fast enough where he could block Julian from the basket. Just like before Julian tried to side step him, but to Julian and Michael's surprise, Michael moved so he was in front of him.
Julian tried to dodge him again but Michael moved with him. Every time Julian tried to side step him Michael was right there waiting for him.
Feeling frustrated at Michael's newfound speed, Julian leaped up in the air to dunk the ball in the basket.
A sudden shock of realization hit Michael, what happened next was like a series of connect-the-dots. Realizing Julian was too far up already that jumping now would be pointless, Michael jumped anyway out of the hope he could make it.
Willing himself to jump higher, praying he could do it, believing he could do it, Michael jumped.
The look of surprise on his face matched Julian's as Michael was airborne. He placed his hand on Julian's chest and grabbed the ball just as it left Julian's hands. Out of reflex, he pushed against Julian's chest just a little, but a little turned out to be more then what Michael anticipated.
Julian went flying back in the air. For one wild moment Michael feared Julian was going to hit the ground flat on his back. But Julian reacted; a green aura covered his body and even though he hit the ground, his telekinetic shield protected him from damage.
Michael landed on his feet but he did not try to toss the ball in the hoop.
Julian got up, the green aura was brighter now and he had a look of anger on his face. Michael was reminded of the green from his dream last night.
"Julian I am so sorry I-"
Before he could finish Julian raised his hand and pointed it at Michael. The others cried from behind Julian. The aura shot forward and Michael felt like he had been hit by a car. The world exploded in a shower of white and green and he felt his back hit the ground.
Next thing he knew he was looking over at the ceiling and Josh's golden face.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"I think so...what happened?"
Josh and Laurie helped him up. There was a fight going on. Hellion, Rockslide and Mercury were fighting Icarus, Surge and Wind Dancer.
"Julian got pissed off and blasted you. I healed you though, but the others flipped," Josh said.
The other students had cleared the area, giving the fighting teams a wide berth. They were chanting the words "Fight!" over and over again.
Sofia and Julian were going at it, wind whipped Sofia's hair around and it swirled around her. Noriko and Cessily were fighting, Noriko was a blue blur. Literally. She moved so quickly, she moved with a streak of blue colored electricity. Cessily was trying to catch her; her arms would shoot out but Noriko would dodge them. Jay and Santo were fighting. Jay would swoop over at Santo and Santo would try and swat him.
Santo made a grab at him and caught him in his giant fist. "Got ya!"
Jay beat at his fist but Santo's grip was too strong. Before Michael knew what he was doing, he was flying at Santo. His wings ripped their way out of his shirt and he flew to help his friend.
"Oh look, Angel Jr. is coming to help," Santo said amused.
Michael grabbed at Santo's hand and tried to get him to let go, but Santo was too strong. "Let him go!" Michael yelled as he pulled on Santo's hand.
"Don't think so birdy," Santo said with a smirk.
Michael felt a stab of annoyance at the nicknames. "My name is Michael!"
With one final tug Jay was freed. Santo's entire hand was ripped from his arm. The fingers loosened up and Jay pulled the hand off. They looked at the hand amazed and up at Santo who looked shocked.
"Hey, my hand!" Santo said with indignation.
He began to walk forward but then a voice shouted in everyone's mind.
-Enough!-
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over to the doors. Emma was walking forward, her face stern.
"What is going on here?" she demanded,
"Julian attacked Michael!" Sofia explained, pointing at Julian.
"He attacked me first!" Julian yelled, pointing at Michael.
Emma glanced over at Jay and Michael, her right brow raised as she saw Santo was missing his hand.
"Santo, put your hand back on," she ordered.
Santo grabbed his hand and placed it on his stump. The fingers twitched and moved as he formed a fist.
"Now, all of you with me," she said indicating the New Mutant and Hellions with Michael included as well.
They followed her in silence, dreading what was going to happen next.

A little while later everyone was crammed inside the headmaster's office.
Dani and Warren had been summoned as well. They all had looks of disapproval on their faces. They listened as Sofia and Julian went back and forth telling what happened.
"Professor, the kid threw me from the air!" Julian complained.
"He just pushed you a little!" Sofia clarified.
"A little! I fell back like six feet!"
"Michael is this true?" Warren asked.
Michael took a deep breath. "I jumped up and took the ball from him...I placed my hand on his chest and...I guess I pushed harder than I thought."
Michael did not add he was amazed at how hard he pushed Julian. It wasn't even on purpose; it was instinctive. It was the kind of push you give someone to get some distance so you don't ram into someone.
But Julian flew back as if he had been hit hard.
The Professor gave him a look as if he was seeing deep into Michael's head. Michael wondered if Xavier was in his mind right now.
"But I didn't mean to, I was just trying to make sure we didn't slam into one another."
"What about Santo's hand?" Emma asked.
"I...don't know," Michael said looking at the floor.
"Sounds like to me this was a friendly game gone wrong is all," Dani said.
"Nevertheless, there will be repercussions," Xavier said. "Julian you will receive a week's worth of detention as will Santo and Cessily."
"What? That's not-"
"Silence Julian," Emma said her voice thick with warning.
Julian fell silent, but still looked angry.
"Sofia, you were defending Michael but I am afraid I will have to punish you and your friends as well. You will not receive detention but you will have to help clean the mansion for a week. That goes for Noriko and Jay as well."
"Yes sir." they all said.
"Now, all of you leave."
Everyone turned to head for the door.
"Except you Michael; we wish to have a word with you."
Michael felt like his stomach was about to burst from nerves. Jay and the other New Mutants shot him looks of sympathy. They shut the door as they walked out and the room went silent.
"Please, have a seat," Xavier said with a gentle tone which helped make Michael feel better.
Michael sat down in the chair. He glanced over at Warren who gave him a small smile.
"Michael, are you okay?" Xavier asked.
"Yes sir, Josh healed me," Michael said.
"I mean are you okay as of late? Warren has reported that you are going out more with the other students."
"Yes sir, I find it a little tough to mingle with them. They talk about things like Facebook and MySpace. Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, God of War, Modern Warfare, PSPs and PS3s, and all kinds of things I do not understand. But I have been trying. It has not been easy but I am learning."
"Do not be discouraged. You have been disconnected from modern culture for a long time now. But with your friends help I am sure you will be fine. Do not let this business with Julian discourage you."
"I won't sir."
"Now, about this pushing incident."
"I didn't mean to push him so hard," Michael said quickly.
"I know. We think you may have tapped into some enhanced strength."
"Huh?"
"When Tessa scanned your DNA she found evidence that you have some kind of ability that grants you super-human strength," Warren said.
"Super-strength?" Michael asked.
"Yes, we think this little incident was a result of your enhanced strength manifesting," Emma said
"But I don't have super-strength," Michael said.
"Then how did you rip Santo's hand off?" she asked with a smile.
"I don't...I just didn't want him to hurt Jay and...it just happened."
"It could be a reaction to adrenaline or some other factor. Maybe a reaction to the danger?" Dani said.
"But I never did anything like that before," Michael said.
"That's because you are not used to being in intense situations. Just like when you used your power offensively against the Blob."
"Is there anything else I can do?" Michael asked.
A look passed between the four.
"Nothing we need to worry about at the moment," Xavier said.
"Tomorrow you will report to the danger room instead of flight class. We think it is more important for you to work on controlling this ability. We wouldn't want you to accidentally smack one of the student's heads off during dodge ball," Warren said with a warm smile.
Okay," Michael said feeling a little sad he would miss flight class tomorrow.
"You can go now Michael," Xavier said.
"Thank you sir."
Michael left the room. Once he was out of ear shot the four began to talk. "He grows more and more interesting," Emma said.
"Yes, flight, fire immunity, energy projection and now super-strength. Add that to his dashing good looks and he is more of an angel then you are Warren," Dani said with a smile.
"Should we tell him about the whole omega mutant thing?" Warren asked the professor.
"No, he has enough on his mind. I don't want to add any more pressure on him," Xavier said.
"Should we expect any more powers popping up?" Emma asked.
"Nothing lethal. His omega powers are still dormant and will be for some time."
"Should you place barriers on his mind?" Warren asked. "You did the same for Jean."
"Jean's powers were growing too quickly. Michael's powers are growing at an acceptable rate. But we shall keep an eye on him nevertheless. An omega mutant is a powder keg of potential. If he taps into his power before he is ready, I shudder to think what would happen."
"Should we let him leave the institute tonight?" Emma asked.
"Yes, it is important he go out and socialize," Warren said.
"I agree," Xavier said.
"As an added measure I will go and make sure he stays out of trouble," Warren said.
"As will I," Dani said.
"Very well, let us hope nothing happens tonight; trouble seems to be following him."

"Enhanced-strength?" Jay asked.
"Yeah, the professor said my little incident with Julian was a result of it manifesting."
They were in their room talking about what happened.
"So you have super-strength?" Jay asked.
"I guess, they don't know how I turn it on though; they figure the thing with Rockslide was a result of me wanting to help you."
"Thanks for that by the way."
"You're welcome."
"So, flight, fire immunity, energy projection and now super-strength? Dang you are making me jealous," Jay said with a smile.
"Well it's making me nervous; every time I turn around I am developing some new power it seems. What am I going to develop next?"
"Don't worry, I am sure that is all you got," Jay said.
"I hope it is. So you're still allowed to sing tonight right?"
"Yeah, it's going to suck having to do extra work, but seeing as Keller has to get a whole week's worth of detention; it's fine by me."
"Jay, why is he angry with me? What did I do to make him angry?" Michael asked.
Jay sighed. "It's not exactly you. See Julian and Sofia have this odd love/hate relationship. They pretend like they hate one another, and then they are flirting with one another. And since you have arrived Sofia has been acting all gooey-eyed over you like the other girls. And that grinds his gears."
"So today was just...?"
"Julian having a shit fit because Sofia was checking you out instead of him? Yep."
"Oh...maybe I should talk to him."
"What? Why?"
"Well, this is all just a misunderstanding; if I explain it to him I am sure we can work things out."
Jay shook his head and smiled. "Michael we need to have a talk about guy rules. One of them is you don't talk to another guy about how his crush has the hots for you."
"Who made that rule?" Michael asked.
"It's just one of those unspoken rules."
"...People are very confusing."

It was around six when everyone left for the club; it was a thirty minute drive.
Many of the Xavier students were going. The New Mutants of course, as well as their teacher Dani.
Michael was riding with Angel in his car; it was a black Mustang. Michael thought it was a really cool car. Michael had noticed that some of the more inhuman mutants weren't wearing their image inducers.
"Shouldn't they be wearing their image inducers?" Michael asked Warren.
"The club we are going to is very mutant friendly; no one needs to worry about being attacked," Warren said.
"That is good."
They were silent for the rest of the trip, but it was a comfortable silence. When they arrived at the club it was starting to get dark.
Jay had brought his guitar and everyone filed into the club. It wasn't very full.
Everyone got settled. Jay wasn't due to sing for another hour so everyone took the time to socialize. Time flew and soon Jay had to leave to get ready. As the time had passed the club had filled up a bit more. Michael found himself constantly hit on by girls.
He was wishing he had the power of invisibility. That way he could avoid all these girls asking him if he wanted a drink.
It got to the point where he went and sat with the New Mutants and did not leave for the remainder of the night.
Finally the lights dimmed and Jay came walking out on stage. He did not wear a shirt, bearing his red wings for all to see. He had his guitar strapped on and he sat on a stool in front of a microphone.
The audience clapped in welcome. Jay began to play his guitar and after a few notes, he began to sing.

Back at the mansion Beast, the professor, and Jean were going over cerebro; trying to get it to find Magneto.
"Unus, Frenzy, Neophyte, Tempo,Masterminds daughters and now the Brotherhood. One by one all the mutants who believe in Magneto's ideas are disappearing. The only explanation is he is gathering them all," Xavier said.
"But why?" Jean asked.
"An army of course. But the question is: where are they?" Beast asked.
He closed the panel and wiped his hands off. "There, maybe that will work."
All of a sudden an alarm went off.
Warning! Mutant detected!
"That was quick," Jean said.
Identifying mutant signature...accessing archives, mutant identified.
"Cerebro identify mutant," Xavier said.
Mutant identified as Quinton Quire. Location: Westchester New York, residence, Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters.
All three of them looked at one another in horror. Beast went running out of Cerebro and headed for his lab. The door opened and he went dashing in. The cylinder with green liquid was pulsing with light.
"Oh my stars and garters!" Beast gasped.
There was a flash of light and a loud bang. Beast shielded his face and when he looked the cylinder was shattered. A shirtless figure stood in the shattered remains. He had bronze, auburn colored hair cut in a mohawk. Green liquid coated his body.
"Quinton?" Beast gasped.
"Mr. McCoy?" Quinton asked. "Where is Sophie?" he asked.
"Sophie?" Beast asked confused.
"Yeah, Cuckoo," Quinton said stepping out of the cylinder.
"Oh...Quinton don't you remember?" Beast asked.
"Remember? I can't, everything is so fuzzy." Quinton rubbed his head with his hands.
Beast slowly took a few steps towards Quinton. "Let's talk son, I am sure Xavier can help you."
Quinton grabbed Beast's head. He scanned his mind, trying to find what he needed, Beast was frozen; he could not move or speak as Quinton roughly scanned his mind.
"I only need to remember, that is all."
Then Quinton found it. The memory he needed.

Beast was looking down at Quinton.
They had him in a pool of liquid that was green and his eyes were glowing. Wires were hooked up to him. Xavier was there as well, trying to help Quinton.
"I am sorry sir...all I wanted...make her like me...so stupid...where is she?" Quinton asked.
"I am sorry Quinton but Sophie is dead; the power was too much for her mind."
"No..no...no...no...my mind is burning...what is happening? I can feel so many thoughts, so many ideas all in my head!"
"The kick has caused a secondary evolution Quinton. You are an omega level mutant, and you are manifesting the full might of your powers before you are ready. You are evolving onto a higher state of existence."
Quinton's body began to glow green.
"Evolving? No, I don't...want...to...go...Sophie!...I want...Sophie...ahhhhhhh."
Xavier let go of Quinton's hand. The glow grew brighter until they had to shield their eyes. When it finally went down they looked and saw the green liquid was now glowing neon green.
"Is he?" Xavier asked.
"Yes, he is gone. But according to my readings, his body, although being in a liquidated state, is still active. He could still be alive."
"Keep it safely contained then, the day may come when he returns from the other side. Hopefully he will have gained some wisdom." Xavier looked at the tank sadly. "So much potential, wasted."

Quinton let Beast go who fell to the floor. Quinton had not been gentle in scanning his mind.
"I remember now. She really is dead?" Quinton asked, tears shimmered in his eyes.
The door opened and Xavier and Jean came running in.
"Quinton!" Xavier yelled.
Quinton glared at the professor.
"Quinton, please. This does not need to get out of hand. Calm down and we will talk."
"I don't have time to talk professor. I have a resurrection to perform!"
"Quinton we can't let you go," Jean said.
And how are you going to stop me?"
There was a surge of green energy and everyone went flying back.
Jean and the professor tried to attack Quinton mentally. But Quinton was capable of forming thoughts much quicker than normal, and had already anticipated their moves and erected powerful mental shields. The green aura formed a tendril which picked up one of Beast's instruments and tossed it at Xavier The second it hit his head he slumped forward, unconscious.
"Charles!" Jean yelled. A golden fiery enveloped her body taking the shape of a fiery bird. A bird like symbol appeared over her right eye. She thrust her hands forward and her aura shot forward, taking the form of a bird's claw. It grabbed Quinton and slammed him against the wall.
"Enough Quinton! Didn't you learn anything from the last time?" Jean asked him angrily.
Quinton smirked. "Oh, I learned a lot of things Mrs. Summers. I learned lots of things in the white hot room."
A look of shock ran across Jean's face. "The white hot room, you were there?"
"Yes."
"That's not possible."
"What? You thought you were the only one. I remember seeing you there many times."
An emerald green bird symbol like Jean's appeared over the left side of his face and his aura took a bird shape as well. "Too bad you didn't stay."
His aura flexed and pushed. It broke free of her grip and shot out, pushing Jean back and knocking her unconscious.
With no one else left to challenge him Quinton searched the school for the minds he was looking for. Finding they were not in the mansion he searched further. He sensed they were a bit away from the mansion; very close though.
He smiled. "Don't worry Sophie, I will bring you back."

Back at the club Jay just finished his song. Everyone clapped and cheered. Jay waved at the crowd and gave a little bow. He walked off the stage.
"And that was Jay Guthrie! Let's give it up for him!" the announcer said in the microphone.
The next singer came on and began to sing. A few minutes later Jay came walking over to them. He held his guitar in his hand and his shirt was back on. "That was great Jay!" Noriko said excitedly.
"Well done Jay," Dani said patting him on the shoulder.
