Ooh, the story continues.. how very exciting :)

I'm surprised you jumped ahead a month, as I still think those two (or anyone) caged up together would have difficulty getting along so it would have been fun to see some spats between them, but it does progress the story along and also get them to a stage where there's already more trust between them.

Even though Vic is playing helpful here it's good that Rogue points out that he's done his fare share of damage in the past.

I like Victor's plan.. can't wait to see what happens! It'd be funny if they only turn her collar on so she can suck his power but not his, ha ha.

Logan seems to have gotten very lucky finding Danvers ;-) but it's cool how you've brought Carol into the story. If Rogue ends up having to kill her, as the story goes, then I can't imagine how her sister will feel!

I think you've done well to point out that Victor has developed a caring for Rogue but isn't attracted to her, because it's always upsetting when he helps out, gets attached, and then Logan waltzes in and steals the girl! That always annoys me, but always happens because this is after all a Wolverine&Rogue specific site.

Having said that, I can't help but hope that there will still be some angsty relationship conflicts with Rogue favouring Victor for having helped her out without obligation and blaming Logan for having forgotten about her when he was too busy with Jean/Phoenix.
I don't want Logan to just waltz in and save the day. Actually, it'd be fun if by the time he arrives they've already escaped and Rogue doesn't go back to the Mansion because she's too upset over her ordeal and their abandonment so Logan has to keep looking for her...

Lots wishful ideas! ;-)

Looking forward to the next chapter!

Author's Response: I really want to respond to this, but it will just give waaayyy too much away. But there are a few things I will comment on:rnrnI wanted to jump ahead because I am trying to get this moving. I could go on and on and on about them being stuck together and her annoying the crap out of him while he tries not to kill her, but that would just be forever and off subject. So I needed to get the ball moving... Oh well. Maybe another time, another situation, another story...rnrnWith Victor's past, I don't want to make him into a completely good guy. He's psychotic. He's a murderer. He's just not nice. I don't want to change that. Everything he does from this point on is because of Rogue, not himself. He's not just going to wake up one morning and descover he has a heart of gold. That would just make him lose his edge.rnrnNo comment on the plan.... ;DrnrnWith Logan and Danvers, I didn't want to waist a bunch of time on dead ends. And, plus, I want to start introducing other important players. I will say that Carol Danvers is one of them, but I'm not going to say how.rnrnAs for everything else, I just have one thing to say. Trust me, Logan isn't going to be waltzing anywhere.... Thanks for the feedback!!!!
