No, Logan, don't fight it!
The description of Marie asleep was quite beautiful.
Author's Response: Aw, it wouldn't be good Rogan angst if he didn't fight it! Thanks for reviewing!

Your description of what happened while she went through the memories was just gut-wrenching. Huzzah for Logan being there.
Author's Response: Yeah, poor Marie. Her mutation can be a curse in many different ways. She can gain immense knowledge, but at incredible cost to her. Thanks for reviewing!

This Marie is very strong. I'm glad. She kicks ass. Even when she's crying.
Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it. I kept editing and re-editing this because she was coming across too "weak" to me. Still not sure if I got that mix of vulnerability and strength and prickliness I was looking for. Thanks for reviewing!

The bit where she pulls out the briefcase? Brilliant. They're both so pragmatic and clear-headed. It's quite impressive.
Author's Response: Yeah, I like the slow reveal of all the practical things Marie did while Logan was out. Put her gloves back on and put his leather jacket on to protect him, took the briefcase, brought the car around...she's quite street-smart. Thanks for your review!

The last bit was incredibly sweet. You always think of Logan as the lone wolf (wolverine) but to see that he is happy she is there as he dies is wonderful.
Author's Response: Yeah, poor Logan. Thinking that the best he can hope for is to die in someone else's company. So glad he lives. ;-) Thanks for your review!

The torture was quite evocative. When I was reading it, it felt like it was going on forever (not in a dragging way but in a so-full-of-emotion-and-detail way). But then I went back and looked at it and was surprised at its length.
Author's Response: What a compliment! Yeah, to be honest, I had a vague notion of Logan and Marie having to take advantage of a brief window of touchability eventually, and that's why I put in the two-hour delay until the collar kicks in. And then I realized I had written myself into a corner, and had to make it seem reasonable that two hours pass from the time they take collar off Marie until the time she takes them down. I felt like the torture was getting repetitive, but I wanted to make sure it seemed to fill the appropriate time span. Thanks for your review!

Logan covering her exposed toe is *so* incredibly sweet.
Author's Response: Yeah, it's funny sometimes how characters take on a life of their own. When I wrote the description of Marie's torn stockings I was just trying to flesh out the visual, and then once Logan was checking her over he kinda did that all on his own. My reaction to it was pretty much Marie's...it was just so sweet of him! Thanks for your review!

First of all, fantastic start. Just thought I'd write things I really like.
I think that describing what happened to Marie as rape is very accurate and truly conveys what it feels like to her when they force her to absorb someone.
Author's Response: So glad you liked the start! Yeah, Marie being forced to take someone into her mind has always seemed like such a violation -- for her, and for her "victim." Thanks for your review -- all of them!

Rescue mission!!!!
Eek, can't wait for more!!!!!
Author's Response: Yup yup! :-D Thanks for reviewing!

Okay. I want to have your babies now.

Author's Response: Aw. I do make cute babies. You'll just have to settle for my chapters, though. Thanks for the review!
Date: 04/22/2012 7:53:40 PM Title: The Apology
As always, magnificent! I'm so excited to read what happens next! Did Logan hear all that? What she said? : ) And hey! Thanks for the shout out! You rock!
Author's Response: Doh! I just saw I spelled your screen name wrong. Sorry! It's fixed now. :-D

Dun dun dunnnnn. ;)
I sense explodey things in the immediate future! I loves me some explodey things. Ooh, and who's going to take down Sabretooth, Marie or Logan?
This wasn't too talky. You have to show Marie's internal journey before the reader can accept a change of heart, right?
Thinking good thoughts for your results. I bet you nailed it.
Author's Response: Oh, there's no putting anything past you! Sorry there wasn't much explode-y, but hope you liked the next chapter anyway. And I'm glad you found the internal journey appropriate and not too boring. Thanks for the good thoughts, and the review!

Moooooooooore! lol
Author's Response: :-D Thanks for the review! Hope to get back into regular weekly updates!

Wow, that's just a cruel chapter!!
But excellently written as usual. And bringing up so many intriguing questions. Looking forward to more!!!!
Author's Response: Aw, I'd never want to be cruel to you, Dear Reader! Glad you liked it, hope you like the more!

Oh Doc, you have been sorely missed! Great update here. I liked the inclusion of Sabertooth and Cornelius--definitely upped the evil quotient. Excellent cliffhanger too--makes me wonder if Logan let himself get caught. Best of luck on your upcoming deadline! Now go take care of RL so you can focus on L/M! ;)
Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! Glad you liked it...I am worrying that with Magneto, Sabretooth, and Cornelius it was getting a little too chock-full-of-baddies but hopefully we'll see some of these sort themselves out. Thanks again for taking the time to write!
Date: 04/16/2012 8:47:04 PM Title: The Present
Dun dun duuuuuuuunnnn....! LOL. Love it ;)
Author's Response: Yeah, you know me and the cliffhangers. I can't help it...they always seem like the logical breaking point. :-) Thanks for the review!

Ohhhh, shit got realer. Ratcheting up the tension, are we? Gah. Interesting discussion of the nature of Marie's powers. I'm looking forward to seeing how you develop the idea further.
Good luck on your exams! You'll own. ;)
Author's Response: :-D Thanks so much, for the review and for the encouragement!

Just wanted to add that I didn't have any trouble understanding the chapter, though I did have to go back and reread carefully. Jubes mentioned the tracker in Kitty's collar, and Forge talked about how he never thought about Clara until he was writing out child support checks. The chapter was fine, it just wasn't in-your-face obvious, that's all.
Author's Response: Thanks for the reassurance! At first I had a bit more about the tracker, with Hank in the room and Logan turning to Hank and being all, "WTF!" and Hank talking about how the technology was all so cutting-edge it could have had a tracker without him knowing, and that the labs in the basement would have shielded the signal, etc., but it just seemed needlessly blabby. As for Forge, he is the one person the bad guys would NOT want to use the collar on (his mutation is exactly why they want him) so I wanted a little extra motivation for him to comply above and beyond just saving his skin -- hence, Clara. Anyway, thanks for reviewing!

SHOO!!! Good chapter, though. I'm not confused. ;-) Good luck for exams!!!
Author's Response: ::runs away, tail between her legs:: Thanks for the good luck!
Date: 03/31/2012 9:09:10 PM Title: The Cell
Now, how in the hell did she get caught again so soon? lol
Author's Response: :-D Argh, I promise I'm not trying to be mysterious. The collars have trackers in them...no one at the mansion knew, but Kitty and Jubilee found out while they were captured. That's why when Jubilee mentioned the tracker in the collar, Logan zoomed out of the room so fast he practically created a sonic boom. ;-) Sorry, there seem to be certain things in this story that I find obvious that are apparently very well-hidden!

Wow. Uber creepy turn of events here. Love the dramatics.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! So glad you're liking it!

OHHH. lol I should have caught that. thanks for clarifying.
Author's Response: I've been such a slacker about responding to reviews, I don't even know what this is about! But I do know there are many things in this story I think I've made clear and then they turn out not to be so clear, so I'm glad I was able to clarify something for you. :-)

I don't think chapter sucks. First really really like the scene between Jubes, Kitty and Logan.
The entire second half of the chapter leaves me with lots of lots of questions.
Did Rogue know Forge was in captivity? Who is he to Rogue? Who is she to Clara? Did she take the collar on purpose? Did she want to get caught? It sure seemed like she did. Why has it taken three weeks for the Xmen or Magneto to find the lab? Do they not know the frequency of the collar that they are looking for?
Glad to hear you are studying and that your house is clean. Good luck.
Author's Response: Hi Alesia! I'm sure you didn't expect me to just answer your questions, but I'm not sure how much will be answered in future chapters so I'll give it my best shot. Rogue now knows what Magneto knows, which is that the Weapon X folks have Forge, and he wants him. That's why he got involved with investigating the black marketeers -- to try to trace them to Forge. She was just running, trying to keep Magneto's destructive attention away from the mansion and Logan, who she knows is helpless against him. None of them knew that the collar had a tracker, and knowing doesn't really help unless, as you said, they know the frequency and get within 15 miles. Plus, the collar she has now is probably a different one, with the shock capability and all that. They've had Forge all this time to make them what they want. Clara is Forge's daughter, who they are using as leverage. Is there a reason you thought that Clara meant something to Rogue? I think she just understood that he couldn't allow his child to be hurt. Urgh, this chapter definitely was not good if it needs so much explaining!
