*WHOOOOOOSH*

That sound you just heard was all the air, hopes, dreams, fantasies and pretty much LIFE of Logan, aka 'The Wolverine' getting flushed right down the tubes.

Author's Response: That *is* what I meant it to feel like. I think I succeeded. Love makes us vulnerable.

:-( I just can't quite see Rogue being so cruel. I might be able to if there were some background in there--why would she act that way? Say that to him? It just didn't seem like there was a reason, I guess, and that's what disturbed me the most.

Author's Response: She didn't really care. She's just having a good time. To her, it's just a game. She was just flirting. Perhaps she doesn't realize (or if she does, she doesn't care) that to him it's not a game.

Wow that was cold. But I really don't see Marie saying that. Considering she still is a mutant, her mutation is just suppressed. I want to cry for Logan. In fact I am actually sniffling here.

Author's Response: Yes, it was cold. He loves her. She's playing with him. And Wolverine, who can't be hurt, is vulnerable only to her. The Rogue I like wouldn't have said what my Rogue said. The Rogue I like wouldn't be so offhandedly cruel. If what I wrote and the way I wrote it made you cry--I think that's a compliment. Thank you.rnrnI am going to my hand at writing a happy Rogan fic, at least the beginning and the ending will be happy. I've got it brewing in my head right now.
