In this dimension it was raining hard. Remy was outside the mansion gates.
He wondered if possibly he had made it back, but he was very doubtful.
WHAM!
A shorter person ran right into him. He caught them by the shoulders.
They looked up at him. It was Molly again.
She was wet even though she was wearing a black raincoat and she looked like she had been crying.
"Cherie? You okay?"
"N-no. Who are you? What do you want?"
"My name is Remy. I don't want anything. I just want to know if you're okay.
Looks like you've been through something," Remy tried his best not to startle her.
"I got attacked by the Friends of Humanity. They almost kicked the crap out of me, but I showed them. I was gonna see if this mutant school would let me hide for a bit. They're probably right behind me. You'd think turning into a grizzly bear and a tiger would teach them, but they're determined," Molly said.
"Come on, let's see if they'll let us in," Remy said.
Remy pressed the intercom.
"Hello?" A voice crackled over it.
"Can we come in? We're under attack out here and it's raining.
We just need a safe place to stay," Remy asked.
The doors opened.
"That was easy," Molly murmured.
They went inside and a version of Beast was at the door with towels and blankets.
They thanked him and sat in the kitchen. Molly and Remy introduced themselves to each other and Beast.
"What we're you doing outside in the rain?" Molly asked.
"It's a long story," Remy said, "You're...uh...not living on the streets are you?"
"Have been for a while now. Same story of lots of other mutants out there. My family didn't understand, so I left. Came to New York. Had a job, then lost it, now I move around a lot."
"I'm sure this school could help you. Ever think about enrolling?" Remy asked.
"Uh, I didn't even know it was here until I ran into it on the chase. I guess they keep it quiet. I mean, it said something about being a mutant school on the plaque outside,
so I figured they'd let a street rat like me in," Molly smiled.
"How old are you?" Remy asked. It hurt him to think of anyone out on the street, but Molly...?
It wasn't right. She needed a home.
"I'm 18," Molly said quietly.
"That's too young to worry about mutant haters and living in an alley. Live here.
This will be your family. They'll take care of you," Remy smiled, "Trust me, I've been there. This place is paradise compared to the streets."
"I'll give it a shot. Can't be worse then what's out there," Molly said.
"I'm glad," Remy said, "A pretty girl like you should have a future."
Remy went into the bathroom. He'd just shut the door when...
*BLIP!*
"AHHH!" Remy fell onto the floor in a heap.
"REMY!" Molly screeched. She was a sobbing, snot nosed, hysterical mess. Remy didn't understand half of what she was saying. Something about she thought he was dead, broken computers and...cupcakes?
No wait, cut wires and cylinder breaks.
"It's o-kay...I'm here cherie...I made it back," Remy said in soft soothing tones like he was talking to a child. "D-don't scare me like that!" Molly said, crying less. "It was an accident. I'm really okay now. Everything's fine," Remy said.
"I-I'm sorry. I was just so worried and scared," Molly said, "You just...you vanished."
"I'm not planning on vanishing again, but we need to go upstairs. I've got some stories to tell everyone," Remy took her hand and led Molly to the elevator.
