To be stopped so suddenly was quite the surprise. It had not been hands that steadied her, but it felt familiar. It felt like Nico’s ability, it was filled with magic. Turning around properly, she gave a quick and genuine, ‘Thank you’, quite astounded. But her astonishment only grew as she realised who was stood before her. Molly had been a fan of heroes and heroines for years - since before she was a runaway. They had filled her with hope after going on the run and to see one whom she looked up to was rather incredible.
When the money was held before her, Molly hesitated. She wasn’t sure whether she ought to take it or not. If she took it… Well, it was charity, it was taking money from the Scarlet Witch, it was being in someone’s debt. Molly had ben in others debt before. It was not pleasant. But the offer appeared genuine, and warm. She had not seen so much money in such a long time. It would be foolish to turn it away.
Slowly, she reached out to take it, a dazed expression on her features as she remained uncharacteristically silent for a moment longer. Molly looked over the notes, then said, “Thank you. Really. B-but this is like.. .That’s a lot of money and I’m pretty sure you probably need it and– Thanks. You’re awesome. Really. Like, one of my favourite heroes - though Chase doesn’t think so, I reckon you’re the most badass and–”
The words spilled from the chatty teens mouth, but she cut herself off before she could let her mouth run away too far. “Thank you,” she said again, quite simply. She honestly could not remember when she had held actual notes before.
