Hahahaha, I love drunk Rogue. She's buckets of fun... I'm hoping for more angst before the happy!
Author's Response: What? Angst? Me? Never! ;-) Be careful what you wish for...

'parently Ah only fall for that seduction game once -- nah, make that twice -- in a lifetime."
“Okay. I’ll go. But Ah’m bringin’ the whiskey.”
‘For the first time she looked at Logan, his hazel eyes staring intently into hers, his expression unreadable. She looked back into Xavier’s eyes. “And he stays the hell away from me.”
Love the use of alcohol, the struggle with the emotions she’s feeling - hers and Logan’s and the way you’re depicting the betrayal. I foresee at some point Logan having to tell/make the prof back off –[in previous chapters he seemed a bit too keen on her abilities!] Or kicking major Magneto butt - He needs to do something! I think he’s got his work cut out trying to convince her where his heart is!
Author's Response: Aw, so nice to see the lines you liked! Luckily, I think Xavier has a revelation on his own, but Logan helps a bit. ;-)

Oh, make him crawl, make him crawl! I loved this chapter. I thought you did wonderfully displaying Rogue's conflicted mental state--in fact, it was one of my favorite portrayals of this common state of her mind that I've read in the last few years.
Author's Response: Well, I don't know if Logan ever really crawls, but he will apologize at least, and suffer more than a little! ;-) I'm so glad you liked how the inner conflict played out.

I can totally see why you are having problems with the next chapter. The decision as to how to have them make up is always pivital. I can see that Xavier has figured out how invested Logan is and how wrongly they approached her. I have this weird idea that Logan's scent will help her sleep but he is going to have to be near enough to her so she can smell him while she sleeps but far enough away she can't see him or know he is there.
Author's Response: Yeah, I've found that things really roll along when there's either events occurring or dialogue. Parts where characters just ruminate about stuff are very difficult! That's a neat idea about the sleeping...you'll have to write that one!

Great update! I like how you got them all directly to the mansion without a lot of back and forth ("Ah'm not goin'!" "Yes, you are." "No, Ah'm not!") nonsense. And I also like how Rogue let herself get angry when she reached the mansion and met the Professor, aka puppet master. She's not "Rogue" for nothing! Don't worry about the next chapter-- I have every confidence in your story-telling skills!
Author's Response: Thanks! I had all these elaborate scenarios for how she ended up at the mansion (her being saved unconscious from Magneto, etc.) but in the end, it seemed to work better for her to just go. And she may be angry, but she's not stupid, and I think if she called Xavier "Wheels" she got enough info to know that Xavier is at odds with Magneto, and if she had to choose between the two of them, he would be the better choice. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I can't claim that I love the next chapter, especially the beginning part that gave me such trouble, but it's done and the story is able to roll on!

Oh poor logan....but Marie does deserve to have her ire! Really looking forward to the next chapter....I cant imagine how hard it must be to write a story so I won't pressure you too much, lol!
Author's Response: I'm glad to hear you say "poor Logan," it's been my concern throughout this fic that he is not coming across as likeable enough, so I'm glad to hear people feeling sorry for him! Luckily I got over the sticky point of the next chapter and things are coasting along again, so hopefully I'll update soon.

I like your solution for getting her to go with Scott. Very elegant because it flows organically out of the previous part of the narrative. All of the characterizations are pitch perfect. Nice!
Author's Response: Thanks! I was worried that she caved a little too easily, but in my mind she knew she was basically incapacitated by our little feral duo in her head, so if it came down to Magneto or the X-geeks, she chose the lesser of two evils. And of course having Bobby to tip the balance helped too. Thanks so much for your reviews!

Good, they were able to retrieve her and now she and Logan are under the same roof. I hope her inner Logan/Wolverine are able to get through to her and the real Logan is able to get her to understand and forgive him. I loved how she can't manage both Logan and Wolverine in her head and how tenacious they are with trying to get her to listen. BTW, I loved the "I'll go but the whiskey is coming with me" line.
I can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Yeah, I can't claim they will be in harmonious accord, but at least they are in close proximity, right? Yeah, I can imagine as stubborn as Logan is, having him in your head trying to convince you of something would drive you just batty. In my mind, when he says "Marie..." it has the ring of "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" ;-) I'm glad you liked that line. The next chapter is written. The beginning was freakin' impossible to get down, but it picked up once I got back into dialogue. :-D

Very nice!
Poor Marie, I can only imagine the inner conflict she had going on, then adding in all the personalities, it's no wonder she was banging her head. :/ Hopefully, she'll let Logan help her before long and they can work things out.
Great chapter!
Author's Response: Yeah, poor Marie. Her mutation really is the perfect storm of angsti-ness! Thanks so much for reviewing!
