Sometime later, Molly felt something crawling on her. She jerked up, scooting back.
It was a roach! Gross! Molly went and sat in the would-be dining room, hoping no one would see inside. She settled in and prepared to go back to sleep.

"Molly? Molly??" A voice called out.

Molly sat up, then veered back. Who was it? More bad people?

Remy entered the room, slowly making his way to Molly.
"You're safe. We were all worried out of our minds.-I know you're scared, but home is the best place for you right now.
We would never hurt you, Molly. I would never hurt you." Remy held out his hand.

Molly looked past Remy at her friends. They did seem worried. Upset even. Molly looked at Remy again. He was being honest,
genuine, real. Through all the mental fog, Molly could see that.

Molly reached out and took Remy's hand.
"It was so cold outside, and I was so tired, I wasn't sure how to get home."

"We've got you," Remy said, putting and arm around her and walking her out.

As per usual, nothing happened instantly. Back at home, Remy was dismayed that it would take anywhere from a
few days to a week to find a cure for Molly.

Meanwhile, it was the next morning and Molly lay in a medical bed under Remy's constant supervision with
no sedation. After the events that had occurred, she seemed much calmer than she'd started out, but further
testing showed she still had the chemical making her paranoid in her system.

"Want anything else, Petite?" Remy asked after Molly had breakfast.

"No, thanks. I think I just want to watch TV," Molly said.

They watched TV for a while, then just sat around talking Kitty, Rogue and Kurt came down and sat around the bed.

"We really are sorry-again-for what happened yesterday," Rogue said. The others nodded in agreement.

"It was...uh...hurtful, but it's okay. I was in the wrong, too. Next time I'll do better." Molly said. She still felt
exhausted. "Did you take care of the riots?"

"We got some footing, but it's going to take a while," Kitty explained, "We're going back in a few days."

"Good," Molly said.

"You still look wiped out. Anything we can do?" Kurt asked.

"Nothing. Wait until I'm all better and then maybe you can help," Molly said.

"Molly looks tired, I think we'd better let her sleep," Remy said. Everyone left the room
to talk outside in the hallway.

"I can't believe she's still...you know," Kitty said, "You'd think it would be out
of her system by now."

"Not gonna happen. Hank said it's a little like a virus and hangs on, but once there's a
cure, it should be attacked and destroyed in a matter of hours," Remy explained.

"Did they ever figure out what 'it' is?" Rogue asked.

"Some kind of super pollen that got into the water. It has to be ingested
to have any affect, but once it gets in, it mutates and gets all virus-y, making
you paranoid," Remy said.

"Hope that Hank finds a cure by the week's end. It's too hard watching Molly suffer," Kurt sighed.

"I know," Remy nodded, "She's going to get better. We just have to wait."
