"Oh, my head," Molly groaned. Her eyes opened to see that she was on a stage, like in an auditorium.
She felt that she was chained up with her arms over her head and looking over, Victor was in the same position.
"What happened?" Victor came to.
"Your stupid impulsiveness got us into big trouble!" Molly snapped, "I hate you a million times over. You're a total jerk! You don't care about anyone but yourself,
you're room is a trash heap, your clothes smell horrible, you have no empathy and you can't share. People are probably scared to death of you not because of how you look, but because you're just a bully."
"Are you done now?" Victor leered at her.
"Yes," Molly huffed.
"You're wrong," He said in her voice, "People have always been scared of me 'cause of how I look. I act the way I do because I want to be left alone.
Don't you ever want to just be left alone?"
"Sometimes," Molly answered, "But not all the time. I was always bad at keeping friends, so now I'm tired of being alone. If you live alone,
you die alone. You don't really want to die alone, do you?"
A long silence followed.
"...No."
"Okay, so change into a gorilla and tear off those chains so we can get out of here!" Molly ordered.
"Not so fast," A voice said. A man stepped out of the shadows.
Tall, brown hair, white suit. "Yay! It's the Good Humor man!" Molly feigned happiness, being sarcastic again.
"Let us go and you won't get hurt," Victor turned into a gorilla,
breaking the chains from his wrists.
"Nice try," White Suit took out a taser. He was faster then he looked, because the next thing Molly saw was Victor going down like a sack of potatoes.
"This is gonna _hurt_," Molly winced.
"Mutant,"
ZZAP!
"Filth in the gene pool!"
ZZAP!
Molly was roaring in pain.
"Scum!"
ZZARPssss!
That one sizzled.
"Abomination!"
ZZAAPPP!
That one was the worst yet.
Molly wasn't sure why she was still conscious, but it probably had something to do with Victor's healing factor.
Molly suddenly recalled that she had a healing factor too. The second that happened,
White Suit went down himself after Victor knocked him out.
*THUD!*
"You _are_ a whimp," Victor said, "Why didn't you do something?"
"I just don't have it in me to kill another person," Molly explained,
"Besides, it's kind of hard to do anything when I'm chained up. I don't think even someone as strong as you could break these chains."
"For that attitude I should just leave you up there," Victor said.
"You do that and I won't be responsible for my actions later," Remys voice.
The X-Men appeared. Remy charged up the chains around Molly as the X-Men tied up White Suit so that he couldn't do any more damage if he woke up. Though getting hit in the head by a gorilla fist tended to leave you unconscious for quite some time.
"So who is that guy?" Molly asked.
"Greydon. Last name didn't come up in the research," Wolverine said.
"Great. Can we go home now? And _stay_ there?" Molly groaned. She just wanted to get a shower, eat dinner and go to bed.

After an examination, Molly got her shower. She wasn't hungry so she just went to bed...well almost.
"Molly wait a minute!" Remy caught her just as she put her hand on the doorknob.
"What? Remy I'm exhausted," She just couldn't get used to having Victors voice. She also couldn't get used to Remy now being at least two heads shorter then she was. It felt awkward for someone who usually had the opposite problem of everyone towering over her instead.
"I just wanted to apologize for how I've been acting. It's all so confusing,
but this afternoon that I realized I still love you. I was worried and I was so enraged that you got hurt. Tomorrow I'll just...I'll do what I can to be with you even though you're like this," Remy gave her a brief smile of reassurance.
"Okay, uh, thanks. That really means a lot. I know it's been hard on you. It's been hard on me too. Um, well, 'night," Molly opened the door and went to bed.

Molly slept in. Yesterday had been mentally exhausting and she just wanted to have some peace and quiet for a while. Sleep was probably on her top ten of things she liked doing, so she took advantage of the whole body switching situation and slept until almost ten. Afterwards, she got ready and went down for a late breakfast. Fortunately Remy was in the kitchen. "Uh, so, I got us doughnuts," He said.
"Thanks," Molly smiled. Since it was just them in the kitchen, they sat eating quietly. "I thought that if you like we could go somewhere today," Remy said.
"Aw, you don't have to on my account. I know it would be too strange for you to do that when I'm like this," Molly smiled. "Maybe I can't kiss you now or hold your hand, but it would be cruel of me to not at least spend time with you. I really want to," Remy said. "Okay. If that's the way you feel, then we can go to the zoo like we've been saying," Molly said.
"That sounds nice," Remy finally smiled.
Victor came into the kitchen. "I feel like I got run over by a truck.
Where's the coffee?" He growled. "'Morning to you too," Remy rolled his eyes.
"Coffee's over there," Molly pointed. Victor chugged down two cups of black coffee, then he started looking more alert.
"What are you staring at?" He glared at Remy.
"Sorry. It's just that Molly usually get's dressed and brushes her hair before coming downstairs. You kind of look funny," Remy smirked.
"I could make your life miserable," Victor got out of his seat and continued glaring at Remy.
Remy took a standing position. "Really now?"
"Yes really," Victor glared up at Remy. Molly noticed Victors pupils were now slitted and his eyes turning a distinct shade of yellow.
"Okay! Let's go to the zoo now! Time's a-wastin'!" She jumped out of her chair and shoved Remy out the back door.
"Um, okay. What was that about?" Remy asked.
"Sorry. Victor got a quick handle on my powers and I just wouldn't want to see you get hurt like that," Molly frowned.
"I'm sure I could handle it if things ever got that far," Remy got into his car.
Molly followed.
"You shouldn't underestimate him. He's much smarter then he seems," Molly said.
"I'll try. I'm sorry, I don't want to worry you," Remy smiled a little.
"I know. I mean, I do have other things to worry about," Molly laughed nervously.
"We're going to get you back to normal Molly. It's just going to take more time then any of us would like," Remy sighed.
"You're right. I just feel bad for you. I thought you we're going to have a mental breakdown yesterday," Molly stared off into the distance.
"As long as you're here-no matter who's body you're in-I'll have my sanity intact, Love," Remy
said sweetly.
"Jeez, save stuff like that for when I'm back to normal! It's too sweet.
If I were in my body I'd be kissing you right now for saying that,"
"Sorry," Remy apologized.
They kept driving until they reached the zoo, then they spent most of the day there. Sure, people were definitely weirded out seeing what appeared to be a big, scary looking man being fascinated with the tigers and other animals, but it made Molly happy and that was the important thing.
"You probably want to go to the gift shop?" Remy wondered.
Molly nodded enthusiastically, "Yes!"
They went in and the place quickly cleared out. Remy sight.
"At least it's not crowded," Molly said cheerily.
They started looking around. "I know Victor isn't the nicest guy in the world, but I feel like I should get him something," Molly said.
"Don't waste your time. I don't like how he's been treating you," Remy advised.
"Well...he's had a hard life. Cut him a little slack," Molly said.
"Why should I? He's...not nice," Remy said.
"He's not nice for a lot of reasons. You weren't so nice once either," Molly pointed out.
"Point taken, but I still don't understand what you're getting at.
I changed, but I'm not so sure he will," Remy stared at the ground.
"I'll explain it better when things are back to normal," Molly said.
She picked out a pen and a hat for Victor then kept browsing.
After some time they went home.
