Remy was falling alongside Molly, about two dozen yards apart. With all the things he'd done, Remy had never jumped out of  a crashing plane before. He counted backwards from ten and pulled his chord. The parachute opened simultaneously with Molly's and he breathed a huge sigh of relief. The worst part of it was over now. After some time passed they landed safely on the ground.
Remy was quite a few yards away from Molly, so he rushed to free himself from his pack and ran over to her.


Molly was huddled on the ground crying. That was understandable. Molly still hated heights, especially when she wasn't safely turning into a bird where she had more control, and jumping out of a plane wasn't on her top ten list of things that she dreamed of doing. Remy knelt beside her, holding her tight against himself as she sobbed.

"It's alright. We made it. Everything's fine now. You're safe, Molly. You're safe," Remy held her tight.


Molly started to shake as it seemed the reality had set in. "W-what do you think ha-happened?" she said, wrapping her arms around him.


"I don't know. Probably a bird flew into the engine or something. Do you want some water?" Remy held up a canteen.


"No. I'm okay for now. I just...I didn't like that," She slowly stood up with Remys help.


They looked around. They were in the middle of the desert. It was going to get excruciatingly hot
soon and hard to navigate, but they at least had supplies. Each parachute was equipped with
food, water and a first aid kit in a compartment at the bottom of the parachutes backpack. Enough
food and water for three days for one person. There were also communicators, but
there was no guarantee that they would work out here where even radio signals became faint.


"We should start walking before it gets dark," Molly said.


They stared off, letting the compass guide them in hopes it wouldn't take
them long to reach civilization. After just ten minutes they were both drenched in sweat.


"It's getting too hot for this," Remy said, taking his shirt off and wrapping it around
his head. He applied a liberal amount of sunscreen he'd been carrying in his pocket.
Molly stared, smiling. She tied off her own shirt, revealing her  pudgy stomach and rolled up
her sleeves. Molly started applying sunscreen too, since she burned easily if she
was in the sun too long. Never mind all day. Remy hoped she wouldn't come out of
this red all over.


"I hope it gets dark soon. I didn't live near the desert before, so I'm not used
to it being this hot," she remarked.


"It is pretty bad, but it reminds me of summer in New Orleans. That was almost unbearable. Used to swim in the creeks just to keep cool," Remy said, "Swam naked sometimes."


"Sure," Molly murmured, shoving him playfully as she looked embarrassed.


Silence.


"I used to swim a lot too. Never did like sprinklers. Always liked pools better," Molly smiled.


"Me too," Remy nodded.


They kept talking and drinking water. Anything to stay hydrated in the heat if they couldn't stay cool.

Night finally came. They were both equipped with Kevlar blankets and those rocks to start fires with.


"If you want we can use body heat to stay warm for a while," Remy opened up his arms to Molly.


"Even in a crises you still want to get all cozy," Molly sat between Remys splayed legs, cuddling against his chest, while she
shivered a little and her teeth chattered.


"S-s-sorry. Even a little c-cold and m-my t-teeth chatter," Molly said.


"I know. I have an idea but try to stay still," Remy said, his silky voice resonating with strength, confidence and reassurance. He had to be strong for both of them. Molly was panicky enough as it was normally, forget being lost in the wilderness. If Remy succumbed to panic, they were both in a heap of trouble.

"O-okay," Molly continued to chatter.

Glancing down, she saw both of them enveloped in kinetic energy. If Molly moved and Remy wasn't
careful enough to suck the charge back in, her clothes would explode, probably leaving her badly burned in the process.

So definitely a good idea to stay very still.

After about a minute, Remy pulled the charge back in.
"Warmer?"

"very toasty," Molly smiled.

"Good," Remy put his head down further to kiss her.


"This is great and all, but I wonder why survivor's depression or whatever hasn't set in yet?" Molly looked up at Remy.

"I think because we've had each other and a little escapade through the desert really isn't enough
to stop us. This is probably the worst thing we've been through, but we're fighters. We can make this too," Remy looked optimistic.

"Yeah. Man, I'm getting sleepy fast. Wake me if there's trouble," Molly got up and made herself comfortable in her blanket.


"Will do," Remy said. Eventually he fell asleep, but not before keeping watch for wild animals for a couple hours. Who knew what was out here watching them?

Morning came, which meant more walking. They stopped to take a long rest even though there was no shade or real relief from the heat. Sitting on the hot ground wasn't comfortable, but thankfully they had extra blankets to sit on.


"Are you holding up okay?" Remy asked.


"As good as can be expected. You?" Molly asked.


"Bearable," Remy replied.


"Hey, what's that?" Molly pointed out into the distance.


Remy thought he saw something shiny past all the heat waves.
"Probably just a mirage. We have been out here a while."


"No, I think I really see something," Molly quickly turned into a hawk for better vision.


"Don't get excited, it's just-" Remy was quickly cut off.


Molly changed back. "It's not a mirage! There's some kind of big dome thing out there!"


"Okay, we'll check it out and if it's nothing, we'll just make camp," Remy decided.


Molly turned into an elephant and gently put Remy on her back.
They were off and running in no time.

"Woah," Molly whispered.


It was a huge dome, at least the size of a football stadium.
Remy was not as impressed as Molly because he knew the place inside and out.
As well he should since he lived in it for about a year.


"Um, I don't know how to put this, so I'll just say it," Remy spoke
up, "This is my old base from when I used to work with Magneto."


"Really?" Molly raised her eyebrows, "So...you were here in Nevada and I didn't even know it?"


"Well, it was only for a year, but I guess it does make you think," Remy
reach out and held her hand as they walked to the entrance. The heat was
too much to put his arm around her like he actually wanted to.


"Hmm. Back then you could've snuck into my room at night an stolen a kiss from me," Molly
looked mischievous and flirty.


"I could have, but I was very busy. If I'd met you then
maybe you could've changed my mind about a lot of things," Remy smiled, holding her hand.


"That would've been, uh, fun," Molly said.


They reached the entrance and Remy punched numbers into a keypad.
