"Legion? I think that's worse," Creature snorted.
Legion walked up to Creature, reaching out and holding her at her chin with an annoyed leer on his face. He seemed to be examining her. "This one obviously doesn't know her place."
"My what? Excuse me? My _Place_?" Creature tossed her head out of his hold, squaring herself back, getting ready to spring herself on him. Legion went on ignoring her and kept on talking as he walked past them.
"Make a note Loki," Legion waved a hand back, "Mouthy Girl won't be of any use in the new order. Either kill her or make her a-"
Legion was cut short by Creature in tiger form viciously lunging at him. Her heavy body completely ready to haul all her weight on top of him. Her claws were out and her were eyes slit. Creature was ready to take him down hard.
So Creature was taken aback when a flick of his wrist sent a telekinetic wave up, throwing her back against the Hulks body.
Creature fell to the ground in a black and orange heap.
"-servant. A _controlled_ servant at that. Pretentious little upstart." Legion sneered, looking like the highest echelon of all snobs.
"I think that's our cue boys," Iron Man said, starting up his hand and feet rockets, propelling himself from the ground.
The Avengers threw themselves at Legion and Loki, ready to attack with all they had. Surely they could succeed with all their power and gadgets where only Creature had failed.
Legion alone, without a hand from his partner, started throwing them around like rag dolls.
Iron Man's armor was invisibly crunched until it fell off of him, revealing the billionaire underneath clad in a black body suit.
As that happened, Thor was stopped short, being thrown back against the rubble of Shields headquarters.
Even the Hulk with all his anger and might was no match, his green bare feet drilled into the ground a few feet by seemingly nothing, covered in dirt and cement in moments. Captain America's shield flew of it's own accord, soaring miles into the sky and turning into nothing but a blink against the sunlight Hawkeye was left in mid run, his arrow anti-climactically breaking in half with a loud snap.
A hover carrier stopped above the ground. Legion and Loki boarded it. "Like I said," Legion smirked cruelly, "I'm Legion. See you."
They left with Creature's tiger body roaring furiously in their wake.
Creature changed back, kneeling at Remys side, trying to tend to him, but he wouldn't have it.
"_Don't_ worry about me," He all but snapped, pulling his arm from her grasp as she tried to help him up, "I'm not the issue right now. Obviously. We've got bigger problems right now."
"Oh shut-up, you stupid idiot!" Creature yelled, tears in her eyes as her hands were crunched into fists held tight against her chest. Remy and Kurt were taken aback, eyes wide. Molly had never said such a thing before. Not to Remy. Not to anyone.
"You're always an issue, okay?!" Creature shrieked at the top of her lungs, "I don't _care_ if the whole world _is_ literally falling apart. If you're laying on the ground half-dead, of course I'm going to worry about you first! I _love you_ Remy," Tears wouldn't stop coming from Mollys eyes.
She rubbed her face with her arm, feeling sickeningly overwhelmed.
"...And this is why we only _work_ with one woman," Tony said amidst all the sudden silence.
"Okay," Remy, now being held up by Kurt, held Mollys face with one hand, "I get it. Sorry. I'm your whole world, great, but we do have a lot to worry about right now."
They shared a look between them. Remy would be having a long talk with her later, of that Creature was sure.
"Hate to interrupt the whole Dawson's Creek thing," Hawkeye said, "But I think we need to reconvene at your place and figure out what to do next."
"Got it," Gambit said, "Just follow us."
Sometime later, the Avengers and the X-Men were in the planning room of Xavier's. For this, even the Professor was present.
"We don't have much time," Captain America said, "We need to think of how we're going to deal with this and quickly."
"Agreed," Cyclops said, "Ideas?"
Everyone looked at each other for a moment.
"Loki and Legion want to take over the world," Shadowcat observed, "Where would they start?"
"Washington," almost everyone said at once.
"Guah," Creature rolled her eyes to the ceiling, "It always ends in Washington."
"Almost right there, Squirt" Ironman said, already back in new armor, "We're going to need half of us here to take care of the baddies tearing up the city. Volunteers?"
Of course Rogue and Logan were the first to have their hands up.
"I'd rather have a root canal personally, but I'm in the mood to tear up some stuff," Creature smirked, uncharacteristically punching a fist into her hand.
"I'm with her," Gambit said, already revived from the tazer incident.
"Remy, you may well be needed in Washington. Your skills could prove useful," Charles said.
"No way, I've got it covered there," Black Widow said, having re-joined her team earlier.
"Right," Gambit smirked, "_No one_ one ups me on sneaking around."
"Wanna bet?" Black Widow eyed him up in a competitive way, "I did manage to make it out of your cell earlier if you'll recall _Gambit._"
"Hey Bonnie and Clyde, focus," Hawkeye snapped, "Gambit stays. Widow can cover things. Moving on."
In the end it was decided that The Hulk, Thor and Iron Man would stay behind to take care of New York while Captain America and Black Widow would take a few best selected X-Men and younger students to Washington. Meanwhile, any students and X-Men remaining, no matter how inexperienced, would remain to helped with the interdimensional threat with force and simple brute strength.
"So..." Gambit said quietly to Creature as they piled into the Blackbird with the others.
"So?" Creature looked at him.
"That was a real...display...earlier," Gambit said.
"Tantrum you mean," Creature smirked, embarrassed for herself as she looked at the floor.
Gambit tipped her head back up to look directly at him.
"Molly I know you care about me. Really, I know. I guess sometimes I just forget how much. That it's, well, it's as much as I care about you too."
"You bet," Creature had a flash of a smile.
They knew things were growing serious. They'd known it since the day before yesterday. This wasn't another boring, routine mission, this was another mission where people might get badly hurt or not come back alive. The stakes were at their highest again.
Okay, so being in the jet with a bunch of rowdy, loud teenagers wasn't either of their idea of a private, romantic setting. (The kids were all yelling and fidgeting like monkeys at a zoo.) At the moment there wasn't any other choice.
Remys hands found their way around Mollys torso, holding her sides firm and closely.
Molly rested her hands against him, feeling his strong heartbeat and the warmth of his body. Molly suddenly wanted Remy in overpowering, sensual ways. More then simply sexual and primal, she wanted to _show_ Remy how much she loved him. The thought wasn't entirely a shock to Molly, because she wasn't the innocent young girl she was when she'd first arrived at Xavier's. Not anymore. She was an adult, with adult thoughts and feelings. Adult yearnings. Except the feeling for Remy, here and now, was surprising because of the where and the when.
A million thoughts went through Mollys head as Remys lips pressed against hers in a warm, fully passionate kiss.
'We're going to make it out of this alive.'
'I love Remy.'
And lastly...
'I want to share myself with Remy and no one else.'
