I get the reason for her sticking with Victor now...but I'm not sure I see what he gets out of it. I liked that she was strong enough after Logan touched her that she could carry Logan to the med lab, but the outfit and the tattoo were a bit much. How long was Logan unconscious? A detailed tat like that takes several hours to do and it don't come cheap. How'd she find a tattoo artist and where'd she get the money? Besides all that, if she truly had his healing factor, her body would have pushed out the ink and healed over the thousands of puncture wounds that created the picture anyway.

Twists and turns in the plot are great, but you have to keep the characters believable, even within the wondrous world of all things 'X'.

If I could, I'd also like to suggest you find someone to beta read for you. The story concept is great, but the way you use pronouns tends to be confusing. Especially when Rogue grabbed Victor...the 'he' and 'she' left me wondering who was doing what to whom, particularly before Victor said something about 'before it wears off', meaning his power that she absorbed from him. A beta reader would catch those things and help you fix them before you posted your chapter for general consumption. I would volunteer to beta for you, but my plate is very full right now. Either way, good luck with this...and I will keep reading. --Wendie
