Molly:

"Mmmm....Remy....oh...ohh...nnngh!...OH REMY!!" Molly was beside herself as Remy kissed her neck.

Remy jumped, so startled his head hit the car ceiling.

"Ouch, sorry!" Molly put a hand to her mouth, "You okay?"

"Fine. Since when do you scream like that?" Remy asked.

"Well...you got me a little more excited than normal," Molly blushed.

"More like really, really turned on," Remy smiled his million dollar smile.

"That too," Molly mumbled, "Uh, maybe we should stop a minute."

"Yeah," Remy nodded, "Beautiful, you have gotten much better at kissing."

"Thank you," Molly said, "You've learned to tone it down and stuff. I'm glad."

"Tone it down, but I'm still filled with energy and I like touching you. Kissing you," Remy ran his hands around her sides, up her back, "Curves Renaissance painters would kill to paint. Your portrait should be on display at the Louvre."

Molly was embarrassed and proud all at once. She stared at Remy, fascinated. Sure, she'd partially won him over with just her body (she still wasn't sure how), but with him, a big part of the appeal and attraction was that very handsome face. The way his face curved, his strong chin. That cute straight, pointed nose. How his bangs framed his face, even though they were cut short. Molly ran her hands through his bangs, admiring his eyes as they stayed quiet a few minutes. Sclera, black and empty as a starless night. Fire red irises, dazzling as Molly saw her reflection in them.

Remy smiled slowly. "You want to just snuggle a while? I like snuggling."

"Okay, but we're going to go back to sucking face again soon, right?" Molly said, burying herself into his arms.

"We've switched places tonight. What happened to me wanting to kiss and you wanting to
snuggle?"

"I think you're just getting more sensitive, Remy," Molly smirked.

Much later, Molly slept soundly in her bed, but in the middle of the night, the alarms we're going off and the emergency lights in her room were flashing red.

She rushed out of the room. Hopefully it was a false
alarm and something had glitched.

Kitty ran up to her.
"Please tell me it's a false alarm," Molly groaned.

"Nope. There's a huge fire on the east side of town. Go suit up. We're taking the van," Kitty explained.

"Greeeeat," Molly wasn't happy, reluctantly going back to her room. The wedding was at one pm the next afternoon.
They were all going to be dog tired the next day. Ugh.

Scott and Jean were excused from the mission, so Wolverine was leader with Rogue as second in command.
A short time later, they arrived on the scene. An apartment building was going up in flames. There were already two fire trucks
there, but it wasn't enough.

"Good, you made it," The Fire Chief came up to them, a huge black man with a clean shaven face, "Any way you can get inside and rescue people, do it. We're working from our end to put the flames out and get people out of there. There's still people inside, but we don't know how many. The worst of it is on the thirtieth floor, start there and work your way down."

"Shadowcat, Creature, Cannonball and Magma, you're with me up top," Wolverine said, "Everyone else,  take the twenty-ninth and twenty-eight floors. Remember training. If it looks too bad, you get out. We have to get as many out as we can."

Creature took a breath in before turning into a bloodhound. Thankfully, they'd had fire training in the danger room dozens of times for emergencies like this. Creature passed with good marks most of the time, so she knew what to do.

They had Cannonball rocket Creature and Wolverine up to the top floor. Cannonball set creature down. They all had on breathing masks, so as not to be choked out by the fumes. Creature's was built differently, able to sense what shape she took and match it to her face, thanks to Forge's incredibly technology. Unfortunately, she needed her nose for a few moments, so she morphed halfway, lifting it up. Down the burning hallway, there were three people in one room, and two people three doors down from that one.

Cannonball followed Creature into the first room, while Wolverine went down the opposite end of the hallway. A Hispanic dad and his two kids were there. The dad was passed out and the kids were huddled on the floor. Cannonball grabbed the kids, rocketing out the nearest window. Creature changed back, shifting to gorilla form and cradling the unconscious man. She had to get to the nearest cherry picker to get the guy out safely and quickly.

They were halfway to a window when a beam fell in front of them. It was burning up quickly, so Creature had to work fast.
She backed up, making a running leap over it, almost skidding into the window in the process. Some of her fur singed, but no matter. She opened up the window and handed the man over to the fireman in the cherry picker.

"Good-" The fireman started to say, but Creature was gone again. It was up to her to get those other two people out. She pat the scorched parts off of her fur as she ran back. The other room was filled with smoke. Grabbing the young couple, a blonde and a very tall brunette, she heard their hearts beating, so they were still alive. (Her powers made her glad she didn't have to check for a pulse.) Creature ran again, but it was harder. Gorillas were exceptionally strong, but the man was so tall, she was lugging him. Time was a factor, so she repositioned him over her shoulders as fast as possible, keeping the woman under her arm. Creature went into the nearest room and broke through the window. Climbing down was the only option, since there was no safe way to jump over that burning beam carrying this big guy.

Creature made it halfway down before the woman woke up and was screaming loudly and thrashing about.
"AHHHHH! AHHHHHHH! I'm being carried away by a gorilla?!-Jason?! We're being--!"

That was all Creature heard because the screamed had startled her and the lady had moved just enough to loosen out of Creature's grip. Creature watched, horrified, as the woman fell.
