When Monday came, the first thing on the afternoon schedule after school was a Danger Room session. Logan believed in getting back into the swing of things, even if the other teachers protested it.

"Logan, we're all dealing with a lot," Jean said in the professors office as Molly and Remy sat in on their private meeting beforehand, "Are you sure this is the best idea right now?"

"I agree," Hank said, "Children's minds can be very fragile after an ordeal like this."

"If we keep using the excuse that they're gone, we're never going to get anything done," Logan said, "It's affected everyone, I know, but the best way to deal with it is to go on living life and not get all weepy over it. It'll do the kids some good to get it all out of their systems, trust me."

Everyone knew that he was right, so no more argument was made.

"I never thought I would be so happy that Logan is having a session," Molly said, looking relieved.

"They could fight him tooth and nail and he'd still go through with it," Remy said, "Thankfully for us."

Molly and Remy traveled with the students to the Danger Room.
"So, uh, what are we looking for?" Molly looked up at Remy as she fiddled with getting the glove of her uniform on.

"Spikes of electricity in big quantities," Remy said, "I remember there's that new net that shocks you if you get in it and there's always throwing ourselves in Berzerker's path if we absolutely have to. The Danger Room is filled with electricity, so there has to be something in there that'll work."

The students entered the Danger Room looking apprehensive, as usual. They looked around like hyperactive squirrels trying to find a sneaky cat, half-expecting something to come out of nowhere and hit them before even starting.

"We're going to do a level eight training sim today," Logan said over the speaker, "It'll work out the kinks and put you on high alert, so be ready. Go!"

The kids started running through the simulation, avoiding obstacles like walls and exploding metal balls shooting out from the walls.
"See the net anywhere?" Molly asked Remy.

"Up ahead!" Remy pointed.

Molly saw it. On the floor, an almost invisible string with little metal bobbles connecting each string , giving out huge volts of static electricity to shock whoever didn't avoid it. Unfortunately,
Molly and Remy were going to have to stay in it a long time if their theory was right.

The kids ran for the net and most of them avoided it, save for Fishboy and Pixie. "Owowowowowowowwww!" The kids cried out as they walked across it.

"AHHH! It hurts!" Molly said, "Hurtshurtshurtsouchiehuuuurt s!"

"Just hang in there!" Remy gripped her hand.

The two of them went on wincing and groaning as the electricity flooded their bodies. "Uhhh!" Molly yelped as another shock went through her, then another. She caught sight of her hand. It was solid for a second.
"Woah, Remy! I was solid for a minute!"

"I saw it. We just have to stay with it," Remy sounded like he was as much pain as Molly was in.

Suddenly they heard almost all the machines around them starting to shut down. The session wasn't already over with, was it?

"Berzerker, go back to the static net and electrocute it as much as you can," Logan said, "I'll be down in a minute."

The kids looked at each other confused for a moment before they all walked back to the net. They were even more surprised to see Molly and Remy painfully going from being there to disappearing before there eyes.

"Don't just stand there!" Jubilee shoved Ray forward as he stood there open mouthed with everyone else, "Shoot the net! Do it!"

Ray blasted the net with a giant blast of electric charge. It consumed Molly and Remys whole bodies, making them scream in agony.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHHHH! AAAAHHHHH!" The two of them held on tight to each other as Rays continual barrage went on assaulting them as they went on blinking in and out of sight, but slower and slower with each electric pulse from Rays hands. After a few very long, very tense moments, they stopped blinking and were completely visible again. Ray stopped charging. Thankfully the net beneath their feet short circuited the minute Ray had started.
Molly and Remy went from laying on the floor to getting back up as everyone stared at them, both confused and happy.

"You're alive!" Kitty ran over and threw her arms around Molly, then Remy.

"Yes," Remy said, "It's a long story."

"A very long story," Molly said, "Oh! Hey, Kitty don't hate me, but I really need to go back and see my family. I mean, they think I'm dead.
They're going to be happy that I'm not, but I really do need to go right away. You understand, right?"

"Of course I understand," Kitty wiped her tears away, "Go. You'll be back soon and we'll have all the time in the world to spend together."

"Thanks!" Molly hugged Kitty tight, "Uh, Mister Logan? I want to leave right away. Could you fly me out?"

"Happy too," Logan actually smiled, "It's good having you two back again."

"Remy, is that okay with you?" Molly finally looked at Remy.

"If you don't get out of here I'm going to throw you on the jet myself, just go!" Remy gently shoved Molly to the exit.

"I'll call you on the way!" Molly yelled to Kitty on the way out, "Tell Kurt I'm sorry!"

"I will!" Kitty said. The entrance opened and shut and Molly and Logan were gone.

"Come on," Kitty pulled Remy upstairs with everyone trailing behind them, "We have to tell everyone the good news and we want to hear what happened."

"I'll tell everyone all about it over dinner," Remy smiled, "I'm suddenly very hungry after not existing for a week."


Later that night Remy's phone rang as he was in one of the rec rooms hanging out with everyone. They couldn't seem to get enough of him after thinking he was dead. Even Rogue was managing to be civil to him, forever giving him a strange look, like she couldn't believe he was back. Lots of the kids were giving him that look, but they were also giving off feelings of happiness and relief.
He couldn't remember ever feeling so wanted. It was a great feeling to have.

"Hello," Remy answered his phone.

"Hi Remy," Molly greeted him. She sounded tired, but that was to be expected. Remy surmised that there had probably been a lot of crying and such going on when Molly showed up at the door, seemingly back from the dead.

"How are you cherie? Everything go alright?" Remy asked, just as little Megan came over and hugged him for the millionth time. He awkwardly hugged the young girl back with one arm.
Megan just sat next to him on the couch, staring at him like everyone had since that afternoon. Now it was starting to creep Remy out.

"I'm, uh, I'm okay," Molly said, "Everything is going great. Really...really great. This afternoon was just very exhausting," Molly said.

"I know what you mean," Remy said, "Coming back, I didn't think everyone would be so happy over it. Megan won't stop hugging me."
Megan blushed a little as Remy smirked at her, embarrassed.

"I told you, they like you," Molly said, "So anyway, my family wants me to stay a couple weeks. I hope that's okay."

"You don't need my permission. Stay as long as you want to. Have fun, live it up," Remy said, "I'll call you.
I love you and take it easy. It's late back there so I'd better let you get some sleep."

"Okay. I love you too," Molly said, "Um, 'night then."

"Goodnight and pleasant dreams ma ange," Remy smiled. They hung up.

"How long is Molly staying?" Rogue asked.

"A couple weeks," Remy said, "Can't say I'm surprised, but I'm sure she'll enjoy it."

"Good," Jean said, "I still kind of wish her family had come out. I'd like to see what Molly's background is like. See where she came from."

"If I haven't even met them yet, I don't think there's a chance you're going to get to anytime either," Remy smirked, "I could tell you what I know about them if you're that curious."

"Oh we're curious alright," Bobby smirked, "It's like Jean said, Molly is one of a kind."

"Yes she definitely is," Remy smiled happily. He started telling them everything he knew about Molly's family.
