I put aside loads of laundry to settle in and read all the updates I've missed over the past week and a half and I must say, getting to read multiple chapters at a time is a vacation in and of itself! Great development here, things are really beginning to heat up. :)
Author's Response: Coming from the master of quick updates, that's quite a compliment! I'm glad you're liking the developments. Thanks so much for reviewing!

Ah ha, the plot continues to thicken! ;) I have to agree with what others have also said, your Logan is awesome! I love the fact that he is thinking and playing it smart despite his instincts to just throw down, take them out, grab Rogue and run for it. Sometimes people will write Logan as some stupid Neanderthal who can barely form sentences and I'm glad that your portrayals never follow that route. From the very beginning of this chapter, I love how you have him playing it cool and smart - establishing an alibi with the woman, making escape plans with Xavier and then correctly assessing the situation with Shaw, realizing that a move on his part could hurt Marie and subsequently backing off. Well done! And now that he knows for sure that Shaw and Emma are involved in Jean's disappearance, well, something tells me that he's going to find it even harder to just grab Marie and get the hell out of Dodge!
Author's Response: I'm glad that it's coming across as Logan being smart, and not just kind of passive. But really, Shaw's power is so tremendous, his hands are really tied, poor guy. I think you might be right about Jean being an added complication. ;-)

Okay, seriously. What a cliffhanger!!!! Aaaahhh! I can't wait to see what happens. What does Jean have to do with it? Is Logan going to get Rogue out? What is going on??? By the way, loved it, of course!!! :)
Author's Response: I think many of your questions will be answered in the next few chapters! Thanks so much for reviewing.

Okay. I officially love this Logan. His thoughts, his dialogue, picking up the young professional at the bar, waking up disoriented--just perfect, perfect characterization.
Whew. That last scene was intense. I can't wait to see how this plays out, and what the heck Jean has to do with it all! Eagerly awaiting the next chapter :).
Author's Response: I am so glad you are liking this characterization of Logan. He has to do some very uncharacteristic things in these next few chapters, which is making it quite difficult! Thanks so much for your review.

"Where was he? What the fuck war was this?" I really, really loved this line. It just stuck something in me as kinda funny but sad too. I love the confusion that it tells of.
Besides that, another great chapter. I love this story and Logan's ability to actually reason through things even when he's pissed off to the high heavens. Great characterization over all.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked that line, especially since I wasted like an hour Googling to figure out where helicopters were deployed in the Korean war. I am not a huge fan of Origins, but the opening war-montage I thought was really well done, and I can imagine choppers being a pretty visceral trigger for someone who has been through all of that, even if he's lost half of it to adamantium-bullet amnesia.

Yep I was right, that is what I was thinking Emma and Shaw had done to Rogue - repeated and extended mental rape and complete with a filled in fabricated past. I think you did great with making the point about Logan's helplessness against Shaw. I am glad you added the layer of Jean at the end as well. He has even more to fit for now. The next 24hrs are not going to go the way Logan wants to them to I would bet.
Author's Response: Yeah, I had a feeling you were on the right track. They are pretty evil, aren't they? I'm glad the hopelessness of Logan's position against Shaw came through okay, otherwise he just seems like kind of a coward. The next 24 hours are definitely going to be action-packed!

Ah, Frustration, thy name is Logan. I'm sure such impotence is a TOTALLY foreign concept to him. Loved the scene with the 'worldly woman' -- very true to character.
As for Rogue, I can see her finding that inner strength you alluded to a while back...and she's calling it forth to protect Logan. As much as I'm loving all the intrigue and suspense, I do look forward to when these two have a minute to examine the bond they share now.
And, just so you know, I am insanely jealous of your seemingly effortless--and highly regular--update schedule. If only my muse were so cooperative... --Wendie
Author's Response: Yes, it was so hard to write, there's just not many situations in which you can see Logan being passive! I'm glad you liked the barfly...I thought she was pretty fun myself. Can you imagine the disappointment of Logan picking you up in a bar and then letting you down easy? It must have been quite a blow, but she rolled with the punches. ;-) I'm glad you find the updates frequent enough. I just try to write whether it's coming easily or not. It helps to know that my stuff isn't brilliant writing like some of the others on here -- it's just good, popcorn fun, so I don't beat myself up if I can't turn a phrase exactly to my liking. ;-)

Just wanted to let you know I'm really enjoying this story. It seems to be a deep and involved storyline, and I wish you could update more often.
Author's Response: Thanks, and thanks so much for your review! Yes, I think there may actually be a little too much plot, I'm trying to mix the elements in naturally but it's very different from my other stories in that the plot idea came first this time. And as for more frequent updates...here I thought I was doing so well with 7 chapters in 20 days! I'll try to step it up, though, just for you. ;-)

Bravo, as always you have me coming back for more... can't wait to read the next...
Author's Response: So glad you're liking it! Thanks so much for reviewing. :-D
