Victor
Just got out of the shower and got done letting off a little tension while thinking about Karolina. The last week or more I've been making myself think about Ms Marvel, Emma Frost and sometimes Nico and Karolina during private time. Anybody my age or older to try to get my mind off of Molly. Maybe, I just need to give it more time.

After getting dried off and dressed.

Victor.
"Molly, can I ask you something?"

"Sure Vic what's up?" If she noticed anything in my tone of voice I can't tell.

"Just wondering about some comments you've made lately. I've noticed you're calling me stuff like Kid-Ultron and Victron and robotboy. It just made me curious if you're just kidding or if that's still how you see me or what's going on?"

She doesn't immediately answer maybe thinking, maybe trying to read me and figure out what I'm thinking. Of course it's Molly so she could be thinking about Dazzler's newest song.

I decide to explain a little more or maybe to influence. "I know Chase is basically your big brother but you're my favorite person on the team to hang out with. I hope you know I care about you even though we aren't family." Defenatly don't want her to think of me as a sibling.

"Yeah, I know. I trust you and I know you're not going to be Ultron or Victorious when you get older. Sorry if I hurt you're feelings Vic" she looks at me, she may think I'm being to sensitive "you know I don't care that you weren't like actually born." She pauses and I nod and give her a little smile. "You and Leap Frog are two of my best friends and you're both machines."

I'm not thrilled at being put in the same friend category with Leap Frog but I don't say anything.
"I'm a mutant, Karolina and Xavin are aliens what difference does you being a robot make. I guess I have been making jokes about it." She seems to get why it bothers me for the first time, well not all of why but I can tell she regrets not thinking about how it came across.

"You really are one of my best friends Vic." She pauses.

"Thanks, Molly that means a lot."

"So we're coolio?"

"Yeah, we're cool. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't any kind of problem or that you weren't upset at me."

"Nopes. You don't think of yourself as family?"

"Well you, Karolina, Chase, Gert, Nico have known each other forever. You grew up with them and I like I said Chase is your big brother right?"

She nodded agreement.

"Chase is my friend and I'd risk my life for him but we aren't brothers. I never saw you as the little kid the others remember you being. "

This seems to make sense to her.

"Chase doesn't see the other original team members as siblings or he couldn't have dated Gert." I say with a little bit of a laugh, hoping it doesn't sound forced.

Molly makes a little bit of a sour face "Yeah, that makes sense."

"So you're not my sister but I couldn't care about you more than I do even if you were." I hope it wasn't to blatant saying that right after I talked about team members dating.

She walks over and gives me a hug "I care about you too Victron." We hug for a few seconds and as she lets go she says "I'll always be there to rescue you I promise."

Not what I expected but sweet in that unique Molly way.
