Oh wow i love were this is going hope to see an update very soon. Wonder what logan would finally do and the surprise of the x men when rouge just confirm to know him.

Author's Response: I'm hoping to update in the next couple of days. It certainly won't be weeks or anything like that. And I'm working on the "reaction" stuff right now!

The fact this is all you've gotten finished frightens me, but you simply have to finish this story. I love the way you are writing Rogue and the first thought I had upon reading the last three lines is...WOOT! She's gonna kick his ass!

Can't wait to read where this is headed. Thank you for sharing.

Author's Response: Don't worry, it will get finished. I couldn't sleep at night if I left a story unfinished. I'm glad you are liking this Rogue ... I think she's a bit of a catharsis after my teenRogue and all the sweetlurve in the last story. I'm enjoying a bit of badness!

btw, I also wanted to say, I REALLY love your writing style! That's a talent b/c it's rare to find a story written with such a clear, engaging voice. :) Kudos!!

...So you're an Aussie? (I read that in your review-reply to someone else) Right on! A fellow Southerner, then!

Author's Response: Thank you! I put it down to my newspaper writing background - never say anything in seven words if you can say it in six. And yes, I'm in the deep, DEEP south!

So THAT's where you stopped writing??

Sigh.

Well, you have me hooked, that's for sure.

The image of Logan in casual silk/linen combo like a movie star (or, in particular, like Hugh Jackman in Vogue) definitely stuck in my mind! ;) But I really like the way you've tweaked Logan's personality in this one.

And the team's reaction to Rogue's actions here will be delicious, I just know it! Will she really spar with Logan? Are you really planning on writing that scene NOW? --or later? And on a serious level, or more like a "let me give you a challenge, see how you've grown" type of fight?

Well, anyway, I'm excited about the possibilities, and looking forward to finding out the details of their backstory you've so tantalizingly dangled out there, particularly how Rogue "left Logan for dead"

Author's Response: Glad you like suaveLogan. I've never even thought to write it that way before, and I suspect its what blocked me on this piece in the first place. I just couldn't fix him in my head like that. But this time, I seem to have been able to take it forward, and I'm having fun with the dichotomy. LOTS of fun ...

Ooooh..... I smell Trouble!! (see the capital T?) xXx

Author's Response: You are so Right. T. T. Trouble. But is it Logan or Rogue who's in Trouble? (T is also for Tease ....)

You tease! Stopping there is just plain evil, real life can be so inconvenient at times!

One little line [of many] I loved : ‘Or had she been just another acolyte in the Church of Logan?’ I like the way she’s questioning and wondering why - I guess when she knows we’ll know. Damn! There are so many questions and if we’re going epic I suppose I’m going to be waiting a while to find out if my assumptions are correct - better get used to having a carrot dangled just out of reach!

Very nice instalment, looking forward to the next x

Author's Response: I know, I know. Sorry to be a tease - but I can't help myself! Glad you liked that line; I was fond of it too. Comes from being exactly that myself ;) And yes, if I answer all the questions in one fell swoop = no plot!

First I love this. It is unique perspective. I am trying to determine whether or not she has betrayed him already when she left him or if she is about to betray him now, or both. It is great to have you back. Really wonderful.

Author's Response: Thank you! I am enjoying writing Rogan again ... once you get back in that headspace, it's nice to stay there a while. Re betrayal, sorry if that wasn't clear, I might go back and rewrite a little when I get round to putting this up on my LJ page. Two betrayals - one that has happened already, one that's about to happen ...

Another great chapter, if a little short (although I understand why)
Yay for epic! And big sigh, for having to wait, but oh well! Can't be helped.
Thanks!

Author's Response: Thank you for reading. I know my chapters tend towards the short, but I like to break the action in obvious places. I try not to tease too much, but sometimes simply can't resist! And the wait shouldn't be too long ... I've got most of the next chapter written and expect I'll be able to post in the next 48 hours or so.

Oh, it's on now! lol Dang, I guess that means I have to wait patiently for your Logan muse to cooperate? Hmm... okay, I'm at your mercy (or his...). Anyway, great chapter, looking forward to more. :)

Author's Response: You are so on my timezone. Outed! Glad you enjoyed ;)

I'm liking this a lot...SO curious to find out what happened in the past and how Logan is going to react to seeing her again! *Definitely* worth finishing, and I see epic potential for sure!

Author's Response: Sorry, you'll have to wait on that Logan reaction. I need to be inspired to write me some reacty Logan. I have to have it fixed *just* right in my head. But I'll be working on it this weekend, I promise. (Australian weekend, even. Sooner than most!)

Hmm go on. I like it so far. One thing I didn't like was the pace; you rushed through the flashback and other places. I think you could have elaborated a little.

But I like it :)

Author's Response: I'll pay a bit more attention to pacing ... but don't think the flashback part is over. Oh no. There will be quite a bit of revisiting the past in this one ... it's as much about the journey to where they are now as what's happening in the now.

Great start. I vote "epic," but it's all up to you.

I can't wait to read more! bit of advise you can totally ignore- if you do evil! xavier, don't do evil! or Bitch! jean. it's too much for one story and besides, i personally find it annoying when both of them are evil at the same time, cause it takes up a lot of the plot that should be devoted to Wolverine and Rogue.

Author's Response: Not sure if I ever do evil! or Bitch! ... I just write the characters as they come (to me) and don't spend too much time thinking about anyone other than Wolverine and Rogue, to be honest. I don't really think of Xavier as evil, tbh, just realistic in this scenario. Not sure where Jean is going to take her sweet self ... but whatever happens, don't worry. W & R are generally front and centre in my fics.

I really like the premise, especially that he's starting to groom her to be his assistant/companion. I also like the flash back/forward, because it feels like we get more information out of it. I like her attitude and his too, it's a different take on things, and I especially like the older/wiser Rogue vs. the younger/naive Rouge because it shows she's changed and grown up and learned from her past, and matured as a person.

I definitely think this is a great story, and as I've liked all your others, I hope you do decide to continue and finish it! Thanks!

Author's Response: Thank you. It means so much when people take the time to let you know exactly what they like ... I'm glad the flash backs worked because I originally had the flashback dialogue it written italics which does make it easier to distinguish past from present, but I had forgotten how to upload it like that. (anyone able to clue me in - PLEASE!) And yes, I also like old Rogue/young Rogue, because ... I get to play with BOTH of them that way. And yes, I will definitely continue AND finish it.

First reaction: excitement!!

In answer to your Q in the A/N: it's *definitely* epic-worthy! I hope you are inspired to spend the time with it that this fabulous, auspicious beginning deserves!

I love this version of Logan, and Rogue's slightly desperate reaction to him could lead to all kinds of drama, especially with the confrontational way they're destined to meet again, Xmen caught between. ...and Xavier's suspicion of Logan being a "class five" mutant, when he's only class three...!! That was a deliciously ironic bit of overestimation, showing just how well Logan makes use of his mutation & long (if half-forgotten) combat experience.

This is a new favorite for me.

Author's Response: An epic it is then! I must admit to being a bit suprised I had actually forgotten this existed ... I blame the near total devestation of losing all my photos when my desktop died, and then the massive relief that all the files were able to be recovered. My brain got fried too, obviously. But here it is, and its good another chapter already written, and lots of zingy possibilities keeping me up nights, so ... welcome to the ride!!!!

I really hope you finish this, i would love to read the entire story. It may be a premise that's been done, but it's one of my favorites.

Author's Response: I will definitely finish this - I hate unfinished stories with a passion. I need the mental resolution or it will bug me so much I can't sleep! And yes, there's a reason certain premises get visited lots ... they hold so much potential.

You’re far from the only one who thinks this deserves to be finished - Great start love the initial meet and training, I’m intrigued, what happened? What will happen? These are the questions and not knowing immediately is why I hate (although getting better at living with) chapter reading but I’m in – you pretty much had me from the summary! And for the line about the juniors chorusing their confidence with all the sophistication of the playground which tickled me immensely you start with max rating.

Author's Response: Three thumbs up - I do love those little stars. Thank you :D I must confess I don't KNOW the answers to those questions yet so I am as intrigued as you are. I need a few good hours to ponder, and then a few good hours to write, and hopefully some of those answers will present themselves. (Good hours = anklebiters and husband out of house, nothing else to steal my focus.) I just have to meditate on some Wolverine thoughts, and all shall become clear. *nods sagely*

I love it! I hope you make this into an epic, but I'll be happy with a few more chapters. I love the idea of Logan waiting for her to be ready. Can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: there's certainly a few more chapters in it, but the question is just how many. I rarely know how something will end before I start writing - I just roll with it. But this one is two stories happening at once, so ... epic it is, methinks.
