I am really enjoying this story. I think, think mind you, I know what Carol was up to and why Magneto did what he did to both Carol and Marie. The begrudged friendship occuring between Jubliee and Marie is really great. Jubilee's protection of Wolvister is also just adorable. I am looking forward to more.
Author's Response: I'm glad you like it! And I appreciate you not sharing what your suspicions are. I'm guilty of that as a reviewer & now that I write, I'm not so sure I like that. It's 3am, I'm on ambien so this response isn't going to make sense, I'm terribly sorry. You like the pacing, too?! Not too droll?

I am enjoying this and I can't wait to find out what Carol is up to with the team and Rogue. I just know she was a double agent...Awesome story premise. Thank you for sharing.
Author's Response: Hmmm, is she or isn't she? You'll just have to stay tuned to find out! *cackles* *chokes* *coughs* *sputters* Ahem. Thanks for reviewing!

The well-written, infinitely intriguing conversation between Jubilee and Marie almost, *almost* made up for the absence of a certain skillfully-crafted piece of man flesh (note: not an insult; nothing can be perfect without Logan, no matter how great it is--I find myself sighing frustratedly even while reading Shakespeare because of this).
There are too many quotable lines within the dialogue and, to quote a common phrase, I'd end up copying and pasting half the chapter. You draw a fascinating portrait of the Logan-jean-Scott-Carol love rectangle, especially of the latter and Mr. Smexypants. Very realistic, very....gritty. Just love it, such good background explanations without the sort of "and then...and then..." that causes the reader to glance at his watch.
Great way to start a morning.
Author's Response: I know, I should have just inserted an "elsewhere in the mansion...." scene where we shamelessly perved in on a Wolverine Workout Session. Completely out of context? Yes. Necessary? Most likely. I dropped the ball on that one. Believe me when I say I try to work him in as much as possible. And only believe me a little bit when I say that there was no pun intended for that previous sentence. SHAZAM! (It's the new ZING! Tell all your friends). Gritty, huh? I like that word a lot. Don't know if this deserves it, but I'll take it b/c I'm feeling greedy today. I'm glad you had a good start to your morning with this. Next time I'll try writing about "The Life And Times Of Wolverine's Wash Cloth" ;)

Loved it. I was waiting for the explanation for The tension in the X Team. Thanks. And now, let's move on!
Author's Response: We will! There will be some moving on, but of course, this big ol' fracture splitting the main team will be the heart of the story, so we'll come back to it. Don't worry though, that issue may be the heart, be Logan is still The Body. I plan on...uh....ahem....*exploring* that too...... ;)

I really enjoyed all the gossip-juice! Very nice set-up, and you've played Jubes well. Rogue is growing into a nice 3-D, rounded person in her reactions as well.
One mildly irritated question, though: if you have 13 chaps written already, where are they?? Post them, already! (pretty please with honey on my knees?)
Author's Response: I'm glad you're liking my version of Jubilee. I don't want to make her the one-sided mall rat y'know? I like working in some of her stuff from the comics too like the dyscalculia. As I said with another reviewer, I don't mean to tease with the 13 chapters thing. I don't mean to dangle them over your heads and make you guys jump for a chapter - if that makes sense. I'm a big fan of the Fresh Eyes approach - I like being able to go back to a chapter & rework it, give my beta enough time to edit it, etc. after I've been away from a certain scene for a while. I've found it to be a huge help with how I write and controlling the stress of writing, too. I also like taking everyone's comments into account. I've worked in theories and filled in future plot holes in chapters that haven't been posted because of some feedback I've gotten so far. I hope this doesn't dissuade you from reading! I promise there's a method to my madness!

Wow! I was really glad to see another chapter up and since you say that you have 13 already written, maybe it won't be long before another is up? I still really have no clue where you're going with this, but that's a good thing. I hate stories where I can figure out the whole plot and ending by the end of the first chapter.
Author's Response: I hate stories like that too and I'm very happy and very flattered that you don't think this is one of them. Getting the next chapter up has to be worked around school. I'm going to be bombarded with papers, group projects, midterms, and developing my thesis in the next few weeks. So until I can get my very own adamantium-coated foxy feral mutant to threaten my professors into backing the hell off...school comes first. Big time frown. I'm glad you're still sticking with me on this though! Thanks for reading, rating, & reviewing :)

Nice dialogue – love all the trust issues between them. Why *did* the brotherhood take her in when Mystique kept her away from most of it? Was there a plan for Carol/Rogue? Who was in on it? Want to know why Jubes seems to need to know now that it’s over and Carols out of the picture? Does she think Carol/Rogue is now going to try and split them up somehow? Is that the brotherhoods plan? How can anyone make Logan do anything he doesn’t want to? … looking forward to getting answers to the questions that this chapter raises and to seeing if these answers help Rogue sort out her head for herself rather than relying on the prof, all that and of course to some more interaction between our fav couple!!
All in all I don’t want much do i? great stuff keep it up x
Author's Response: Maybe I should have called this fic "Issues" b/c it seems like everyone in it will have one! I'm delighted that you have so many questions - I'm actually bouncing a little. This is why I'm glad I'm a little ahead of the story writing-wise so I can go through what's written & make sure questions like these are answered clearly. As for making Logan do something he doesn't want to - I wouldn't say he "doesn't want to". My answer to that is along the lines of what I proposed to doctorg in my response to her review - but I do have plans for writing/explaining that piece. Honest to The Abs, I don't think I've addressed one or two questions that you've raised though, so I have to make sure I ad those in. So really, I owe you. Maybe I can contract out hobbitsdoitbetter's Smex Garage from "Jitters"? How much time do you think you'd need? I'll see what the rental rates are & get back to you on that ;)

Yay for new chapter! Very interesting with the drama, interested to see where that goes. Hard to imagine Logan getting manipulated what with his Super Sniffer and all, but I can see you selling it. Now, I think it's time for my bath....
Author's Response: I'm glad you have faith in me selling it (I've also got a basement full of wonderful stuff if you're interested). I am going to address why Logan acted on Carol's bulls-, but that's later on down the road. I'm operating on the theory that the information she gave him *technically* weren't lies. As you guys will come to see, all is not right in Scott/Jean-Land. I think Logan can still be manipulated even without his Super Sniffer - as seen in Origins, but parts of that were such a clusterf@$# that I shouldn't really count that. Sure he can sense lies, but what if there's a kernel of truth there? What if he *wants* to buy whatever Carol was selling?

Glad your back! And you keep teasing us by mentioning that you have 13 chappies waiting for us! Well played, madam, well played.
Author's Response: Glad to be back! Screw school! *Riots for 15 minutes* Aaaaand we're back. Sorry for the tease - I truly only mean to show you guys that I'm not stalled or abandoning this. No devious intentions here, I swear on the rock solid smexiness of Logan's abs.
