They arrived back soon after. They walked into the mansion to see some of the kids standing around. "Where'd you guys go?" Kitty demanded, looking angry.
"Just out," Molly said. Molly was confused. Why were they so upset?
"You think just because you have a new boyfriend you can go out and leave us?" Bobby said loudly, "We've been here planning a funeral while you guys we're off making-out! Don't you have any respect for anything?" Bobby shouted at Molly.
"We we're just talking! I thought we'd go out for minute to clear our heads.
Do we need permission now? You're acting like a real jerk Bobby!"
"...A jerk? That's the best you can come up with?" He looked at her with a very uncharacteristic smirk. Icicles formed on his fingertips.
"Fine. You want to fight this out..." Molly said, she took on her tiger form and let out a low growl.
"You two need to stop this now!" Kitty stood between them.
"Kitty get out of the way. Little Miss Perfect needs a lesson in manners," Bobby said.
"That's enough," Remy took out his bo-staff to form a barrier, "Everyone's under a lot of stress right now. We're getting at each others throats. Bobby, go to your room. Molly, you need to change back and calm down."
Bobby reluctantly went to his room and Molly changed back. Everyone left the foyer.
"What was that all about?" Remy took her by the shoulders and looked her in the eyes.
"He made me mad. I know everyone's upset right now, but that's no excuse to act like that.
I wasn't really going to fight him, I just thought it might scare him back to his senses.
He's not acting like himself. No one is right now," Molly said.
"Okay, but you worried me there. Thought you were really gonna hurt him...or get hurt yourself."
"Everything's fine, don't worry," Molly smiled, "I guess we'd better go tell Logan what I know."
"Yeah, we'd better," Remy sighed, dreading Logan's reaction.
Remy broke the news to Logan that he let Molly in on the secret. Logan wasn't happy about it, but a while later everyone informed had a meet up in the planning room.
"I found out where that kilbourne lady works. It's not official, so I think we'll start there and see what we can find.
They might be being held there or not, so we have to be ready," Logan said.
Everyone was clear on the mission. Go check things out and if they didn't find anything, leave and start over. They planned to leave that night. They left the planning room in various states of distress. Everyone was tired and a little confused since working on just pieces of evidence and a little hope wasn't a concrete case for thinking the Professor and Scott were alive.
"I don't think you should go," Remy said to Molly as soon as they were in the hallway.
"Why not? I'll be okay. I can handle this mission," Molly said.
"I know you can, but after today I don't want to see you get hurt. I don't blame you for being mad-"
"Yeah I'm mad! You're treating me like a kid. Nothing bad is going to happen to me, and you can't stop me from going," Molly looked angry.
"I'm not trying to be a jerk, okay? If you stayed here it would make me feel better. I'm just trying to protect you," Remy said.
"...I'm going to my room," Molly said.
Remy grit his teeth. They'd barely started going out and they were already having their first fight. Was she so stubborn she couldn't see that he didn't want anything to happen to her? If anything did he wouldn't be able to bear it.
He went to his room to blow off steam and get ready for that night.
Molly stewed at her computer. She'd already decided she'd sneak out to the mission. No way would she be getting left out.
She looked up something to morph online. No insects, since insects usually got swatted and she loathed the idea of turning into one anyway. Something small enough and fast enough to sneak onto the jet without getting noticed that wouldn't get swatted.
Molly came across a picture of a chipmunk.
"Gotcha," She smiled to herself. She could hide under a seat and no one would know.
It turned out hiding under the seat wasn't her brightest idea ever. There wasn't much for tiny claws to hold onto, and hanging upside down while flying just made her feel sick.
Molly felt relieved when the jet landed. As soon as everyone else left, she changed back and followed them.
They snuck in through an oversized vent. Molly struggled to climb through it, but landed flat on her face.
"Ah, ow! This better be worth it," She grumbled.
Within a few minutes, she found everyone in a room fighting some guys in white suits.
"Hm. The party started without me," She smiled.
"Molly wha-?" Remy dodged a man in white, then knocked him out, "You were supposed to stay home!"
"Well surprise," She smirked, then changing into a gorilla.
Remy stood there with his mouth hanging open for a few moments until Logan yelled at him,
"Stop gawking and help me with these restraints!"
Scott and the Professor were unconscious, strapped to tables and had been guarded until the X-Men showed up.
There weren't too many, so all the guards were knocked unconscious in no time. "Alright, let's get them out of here before-" Logan said. Suddenly Anne walked in with a very large ray gun.
"Put them down before someone gets hurt and you can go free peacefully," Anne said.
"We're not leaving without them," Beast said.
"Our apologies for ruining your plans," Colossus started to walk up to her to take the gun, but was shot at.
The rays bounced off his armor. "Easy!" Remy shouted.
"Fine, but I'm taking a few of you out before I go," Anne fired wildly.
Beast, Logan and Creature we're hit. Logan was the only one that could take it.
"Oww!" Creature yelped, grabbing her arm.
"Molly!" Remy put an unconscious Scott down and rushed over to her.
"I-I'm fine. Just...a little pain...no big deal," She winced, downplaying it.
"Their bodies pain receptors have been hit. It was a medium setting. Not enough to paralyze, but they'll be quite uncomfortable for a few hours. I would've set it to kill, but it's has a lock," Anne explained.
Collusus took the gun away, locking Anne to a table.
"Tell your boss we'll be watching out for him," Logan said as the team left.
Remy held Molly gently on the way back. She was crying she was in so much pain.
"...Aren't you gonna tell me off? Say 'I told you so'?" Molly said.
"No. I'm just going to hold you and worry about you right now."
"Well...it's worth it. We got them back," Molly cringed, letting out a whimper.
"Maybe. As soon as we get in, we're putting you guys under. Sleep the pain out,"
"B-but I wanted to be awake to see Scott Professor Xavier-" Molly grit her teeth, feeling more pain.
"They'll be there when you wake up, baby," Remy pulled her closer.
