Excellent job with the final big reveal of Marie's plan in duping Shaw! I liked the irony of Shaw's power backfiring on him too.
There were nice little touches of humor here too:
“Stark always did love to blow shit up. There goes the west gate.”
Marie looked around. “Emma?” she asked.
“Chuck has her singing Christmas carols right now. It’s pretty festive, actually.”
Yet another good cliffhanger here at the end. Nice twist on Logan using his instincts/senses to track Azazel and how it resulted in Marie getting hurt.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the plan. And, yeah, not only Shaw's power backfiring on him, but his own bullheadedness in not realizing that Marie was trying to spare him. Jerk. I realize those jokes were probably not in keeping with the general tone of the chapter, but I just couldn't resist. After all, Emma got off pretty easy, at the very least I could humiliate her a little, right?

Wow, these two just can't catch a break, can they? But,actually, I was just thinking a chapter or two ago that there wasn't the him stabbing her element...knew it had to make its way in here.
Also:
It’s pretty festive, actually.
LMAO!
Author's Response: Yeah, I wasn't sure if I would stick to him stabbing her, but I definitely feel that every AU has to have Rogue absorbing Logan at some point. It's just so central to her character to have Inner!Logan. In the end, Azazel being such a jerk seemed like a logical way to achieve both ends. Yeah, the Christmas carol joke was a little off-tone for the rest of the chapter, but I couldn't resist. I tried hard to kill off Emma, but in the end I settled for humiliating her.

Awesome twist! I totally didn't see that coming. Like, at all. I do kinda want to see that crazy bitch Emma get her just desserts, but hey, at least Shaw is out of the picture. The only question now is how the heck is Marie gonna get out of this? Poor Logan, he has a really bad habit of accidentally stabbing the girl. Sheesh!
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the twist. Mystique is kind of out of nowhere, I thought about just having it be some unspecified shape-shifter, but I couldn't resist having Mystique make a cameo. Not to mention, it seemed totally in keeping with her personality to take off as soon as her part was done, counting her money gleefully. Thanks again for all your reviews!

Somehow I knew you weren't quite done yet, you Goddess of Evil Cliffies, you! I hope you let Azazel live just long enough to deeply, DEEPLY regret that... --Wendie
Author's Response: Ha, I can at least promise it's my last cliffhanger...for this story at least. Sorry, I probably didn't let Azazel suffer enough...you can imagine a slow death from intestinal gangrene and sepsis for him, if you like. ;-)

oooh, nicely done. azazel really is a git, isn't he? can't wait for the next chapter, loved how well this one flowed. the characterisations were spot-on too. and re: your question as to what i do for a living that's busy around hallowe'en: i work in a bar and coffee shop. us irish like to drink of a samhain, y'know ;)
Author's Response: Yes, Azazel is a git, for sure. I wish I had made him suffer a little more in the end, but I didn't want it to be distracting. Thanks so much for your reviews!

“Chuck has her singing Christmas carols right now. It’s pretty festive, actually.”
LOL.
And I did not see that little twist coming at all! Get that healing on board, Logan and then slice Azazel to bits!
Author's Response: :-D I couldn't quite find a good way to kill Emma, so I had to torment her at least a little. That line was probably a little too much levity for the general tone of the chapter, but I couldn't resist.

OH SHIT.
You sure do know how to throw in those moments, don't you? I love it when a plan comes together. ;) And how cool that you brought in Iron Man... I've been watching IM2 and reading awesomely hilarious fic lately, so I really appreciate the hat tip.
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the plan. Yeah, you had to know Iron Man wouldn't stand idly by while some bastard steals his arc reactor, right? He insisted on being there for the battle. Thanks so much for reviewing!
