Whoa, intense!!!!
I love your stories. You have a wonderful talent for spinning tales...and I certainly can't wait to see the next part of this one!
Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much. Hope the next chapter met with your satisfaction. ;-)

"...choking back the Wolverine’s sudden desire to tear Azazel’s throat out with his teeth."
Glad he managed to choke back that desire. That would be . . . yucky.
The tension, the tension! I'm really liking the character dynamics here. Is it an insult to say that you write scummy lowlifes really well? 'Cause I mean it as a compliment. Seriously. They're so . . . hateable.
What does Jean have to do with all this?! *bites nails* Oh well. Guess I'll wait 'til the next chapter to find out. Thanks for getting this out in spite of the crazy weather. You actually made me smile, reading this during the genetics lab from hell . . . my labmates must think I'm nuts =D
Author's Response: Yeah, that would have been pretty gross. ;-) I'm glad you like my scummy lowlifes. That's definitely a compliment. I think your questions about Jean were at least partially answered in the next chapter. So glad to have made you smile in a bad lab. Thanks again for being such a great reviewer!

I love this chapter and the fact that he won her, though we all know she wasn't going to be going with someone else. And I'm so stoked that she's showing her backbone. I'm slightly concerned for her mental state at the moment though, unless she's a really good actress. And that's what I'm hoping. Great read!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it. Hope your fears for her mental state were assuaged by the next chapter. :-)

Her voice was equally quiet as her eyes narrowed on Shaw’s. “I’ll see you dead for what you’ve done to me.”
THERE'S our girl. You are a trooper for getting this up despite Hurricane Irene. Now that I know Mother Nature is powerless against your literary strength, I shall raise my expectation for how quickly you will post the next chapter...;)
I kid, I kid...or DO I? And by the way, you ended this chapter very naughtily, naughty lady. Loves it!
Author's Response: Yeah, I think we'll be seeing more of Strong!Rogue the more she starts to remember. It just didn't seem believable that she could be strong while she still was still cut off from everything she used to be *and* thought she was crazy to boot, but the more she gets her memories back and knows Shaw is behind it the more pissed off she will get, I expect. :-)

You've written tension so thick you could spread it on toast. Outstanding! I love that Rogue isn't going down without a fight and I am very much looking forward to just how Logan plans to collect his 'winnings'. Funny, I think Rogue might be the tiniest bit excited about that, too... --Wendie
Author's Response: So glad the tension in the scene worked. That's what I was trying for, but with no real betting or knowledge of the others' cards it was hard to try to wind it up a bit. Yeah, I think I definitely know who Rogue was rooting for. ;-)

Oh--there is one way Logan can hurt Shaw, and it's the same way Magneto did it in First Class: fist against forehead, slowly and gradually introduce sharp metal object through skull, et voila. Dead Nazi! You're welcome. ;)
Author's Response: :-D But, I think that only worked because Xavier had psychically immobilized Shaw. From what I can tell, Shaw can even use simple friction to "recharge" himself, so I think even a slow impact might be something he could repulse in his usual state. Or just use his energy burst to blast Wolverine before he even breaks skin. He's a tough one -- but don't worry, I didn't start writing until I had a way to defeat him in mind. ;-)

I think you did GREAT with the poker. I play some and was going to offer to beta with the crazy weather this week, I wasn't sure when I would be able to get it done. Still LOVING IT!
Author's Response: So glad I did okay, and that you're still liking the story. Things heat up from here!

I just have to say, you are bad for my blood pressure... in a good way. The tension, she is high! ^_^ Excellent chapter. Logan's playing a very dangerous game.
Author's Response: I'm glad you found it a tense scene. Yeah, Logan really is on thin ice here. I have a feeling he is going to get busted soon. ;-)

Loved it. Shaw is not going to be a happy camper when he loses Rogue.
Author's Response: Yup. ;-) Thanks so much for reviewing!

i'm loving this story, and i so want to read the next installment. enjoying the tension, the humour and the characterisations (spot on with azazel and emma, BTW) more, i want more!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're liking it! Thanks so much for reviewing.

well, this just got even more interesting! So glad that Logan won though!
Author's Response: Glad you liked it! It seemed a little melodramatic to me, but I did try to set up the foundation for it (the poker games, and Azazel's trouble-making) in previous chapters. Plus, I'm a sucker for a little melodrama.

Nice twist having Logan having to win her in a poker game. I'm glad to see Rogue showing some backbone to Shaw. Still very curious about Jean. Can't wait to find out more. Keep up the great work.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it. Yes, I think Rogue is going to get stronger and stronger the more she is able to access her old memories, and the more sure she gets that Shaw really is a bad guy. No doubt about that now! There's a hint of how Jean ties in in the next chapter, and soon all will be revealed. :-D
