It had been years since Molly Hayes had been a runaway. Years since she last saw all those familiar faces, and years since she had realized that she would have to do the one thing that being a runaway was all about. Growing up. It was hard at first. She was all alone with nowhere to go. She could have gone to the X-Men but... Wolverine... She never really knew what to think about him. She knew so little... She had always wanted to marry Wolverine as a little kid, up until she had actually met him. Then she hated him. Funny how things work out. Honestly Wolverine had never been very mean to her. Actually, he was pretty nice and caring, considering his reputation. He only ever scared her a few times and then after that she had been more than sour towards him. Even though he had actually been a great fatherly figure in her life. He was always there it seemed when she really wanted someone to mess with or just be there. Her parents had never been like that to her and even though Wolverine tended to be worlds away Molly always watched the news, anxious to hear about the crazy things that Wolverine was doing, and (if she was honest to herself) to make sure that he never died. Yes, he had regeneration as a power but that didn't make him invincible. That was probably why she hated him so much at the moment. He kept getting himself so close to death that it made her want to kill him herself. But that was no matter. She would never go see him in her time of need.

Besides she had Deadpool and he wasn't all that bad. He was a great fighter, and didn't make bad company. But he never acted like he needed any help, or anyone to talk to. He tended to keep to himself in his bipolar-ness and sometimes he killed people he shouldn't have but he was Deadpool. He listens to no one but himself and has no trouble killing people. He isn't a super hero and he isn't a super villain either. That's whats always confused Molly. She could usually tell the super villains from the super heroes, by if they kill or not but Deadpool, he kills some people and lets others live. But he was still good company. He never questioned Molly and he let her do as she wished. Sometimes she missed having someone around who cared about her though.

"NOBODY CALLS THE RUNAWAYS STUPID KIDS," Molly screamed, throwing a punch at the bad guy who was being extremely talkative. The guy flew, right into the police truck, and the cops scrambled to arrest the guy. Molly sighed pushing back her long brown hair. Another bad guy taken down, another day.

"Mrs. Molly Hayes," a voice said from behind Molly, and she swung around, fists held in front of her like a fighting stance. That was a voice she wouldn't ever forget. It gave her the biggest headache of her life. Molly dropped her fists.

"Emma Frost," she replied coldly. She didn't like seeing her again. She was usually all telepathic happy and was constantly reading her thoughts. It annoyed Molly beyond all ends. She kind of hoped Emma could read her thoughts right that second so that she could hear all the terrible things Molly was thinking about her.

"The X-Men need you," was all Emma said, and Molly turned away frowning largely.

"No. No. No. No. No. I am never going back there," Molly protested instantly, shaking her head, but inside her stomach was being attacked by butterflies. Wolverine. But she can't. Not at this age. She can't trust herself to not do something stupid at this age. When she was younger she had an excuse. She was a kid. But at this age, there was no excuses. So stay away from the X-Men, and stay away from the Wolverine.

"But we need you Molly. It's an old enemy of yours and you are the only one who can stop him," Emma continued, following Molly as she stormed away. Molly began to walk away faster but was stopped by Emma holding her in her place telepathically.

"Why don't you just send Wolverine to do it?" Molly asked, angrily. Thrashing under Emma's telepathic hold. "He is better than me at it and I just want to be left ALONE!" Molly screamed. She once again thrashed under Emma's hold but she got nowhere.

"Molly, I know how you feel about-" Emma started softly.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Molly screamed again, just wanting to get away from Emma. "AND STOP READING MY THOUGHTS!" Emma Frost really made Molly mad. She could feel hear her old temper flooding back into her mind and the old feelings that came with it came as well. It ached, because those thoughts came with names that Molly would rather not think about at the moment. Emma tried to say something but Molly was too busy screaming and fighting back and in her rage she couldn't hear anything. The most distracting was Molly's glowing eyes and the feeling that she could destroy anything. Like all of Manhattan. That sounded really good.

'Wolverine has been captured' Emma's voice said in Molly's head. That calmed Molly down.

"That mission that we want you to go on, Wolverine went on it first and he was captured," Emma clarified. Molly didn't know what to think. If Wolverine couldn't complete the mission, how could she. But someone had hurt Wolverine.

Her Wolverine

No one messes with Molly Hayes friends and super secret crushes ever.

"Who?" That was all Molly said and that was all she had to say. Her biggest problem was that she thought she was prepared for the answer.

"Alex Wilder." At that Emma released her hold on Molly and Molly fell forward, barely catching herself before she face planted.

Alex was back.
