Now COMPLETE!

Yes, another AU. :-D Logan is on a mission to contact a powerful mutant and convince her to join the X-Men. Things go awry, of course. ;-) Here's an excerpt: “You’ve been shot before,” she said, and he could practically see her mind piecing it together. “And you don’t want to go to the authorities.” He saw that icy calmness creep back into her demeanor as her scent changed sharply. She was no longer afraid for him, now she was afraid of him. “Who do you work for? Did he send you to find me?”

AAAHHHHH! How can you end it there? Oh, the cruelty...;)

Great chapter. Great story- as usual. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Sorry! Last chapter up now, which is why it took me so long to respond to your review. :-D

Wow, if you read this chapter while listening to Adele's Someone Like You, it makes it even more emotional. ::sniffle::

“Maybe, ‘If you’re close enough to read this, you’re screwed’?’”

hehe, that's great.

Before she could reach that fight bar in Canada, Rogue was taken in and raised by Mystique. Years later, she and Wolverine meet for the first time as fellow X-Men. Fate draws them together after a very unusual attack leaves Wolverine in a unique position to help. AU with movie/comicverse elements.

Gosh, I love this story so much. Truly, I do. It's so in-depth (both in characterization and plot) and well-written. I really can't wait to read the next installment!!

Author's Response: Thank you! I\'m so glad you\'re enjoying the story and that you take the time to leave such kind reviews. I\'ve tried to plan out the plot and character devel. as carefully as I can, but I\'m sure there are minor loopholes and moments when things have gone off track, hehe. But I will do my best to keep the updates coming regularly :).

"I won't hurt you, Marie," he said solemnly.

::melts::

Awwwww, they're sooooo adorable. And- EEK!!! Carol knows about his past?!? Can't wait for the next chapter of this great story!

Author's Response: Yeah, they are pretty adorable. I\'ve messed around quite a bit with the timelines concerning Logan and Carol\'s history, and also Rogue\'s age relative to the other X-men--but then again, so has Marvel. Hopefully it\'ll all work out into an interesting subplot :). Thanks for reading!

Ooh, how fast this update was!

A favorite line:

But then again, the little fucker had—possibly—stared at Marie. That was enough to warrant some hand-crushing, right?

hehe. It's so interesting- they know each other so well in a way and yet are like strangers. I'm looking forward to seeing how they deal with the mansion. :)

Author's Response: Thanks, me too. Every time I pull these brief little scenes from my notebook and transfer them to the computer, they just expand like crazy. The \'welcome to the mansion\' scene was only a couple paragraphs in the rough draft, but I have a feeling it\'s gonna turn into a whole chapter, heh. Hopefully no one minds :).

Awesome chapter!!! I was wondering what would happen with the Rogue/Marie thing. I love how it's panning out so far. :)

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review. I\'m really glad you\'re liking the story so far

Oh, it was going so well for Logan at the end and then she had to mention the bellman. sigh

I really love this story. And I'm so glad that you're now going to work more on the Logan/Marie aspect (as opposed to the Rogue/Logan/Wolverine aspect). I can't wait for more!!

Author's Response: Thanks! I really appreciate you taking the time to read and review. The Logan/Marie aspect is definitely going to get come to the forefront in all sorts of interesting and complicated ways, especially once they get thrown back into life at the mansion. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story :).

OMG, I'm just as angry as Rogue!!! ...but, dammit, I can kinda see where Scott's coming from. Grr... I hate when I understand both sides! It makes me feel so conflicted. sigh.

And I pretty much melted at this:

“Oh, baby. Why? Look, I know I maybe said the wrong things when you were talkin’ about how I’d leave you or resent you or whatever, but I just need ya to know that ain’t true. I won’t do those things. I shoulda told you that before. But you put those ideas in my head, and I started worryin’ maybe they were true—but after last night, I—I know they’re not. You gotta know that too. Don’cha feel it? How right this is, you and me? I told you I wouldn’t hurt you. So—so just trust that. Trust me.”

Loved this chapter and I'm looking forward to the next. :)

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I do think Scott has some valid points. But hey, he can\'t expect Rogue to be happy about having her competence questioned. I hope you enjoy the next chapter. It\'s almost finished. Silly classes and work and things keep cutting into my computer time. Hmph.

Oh man, they are so perfect for each other. Logan is totally right about that. And I just LOVE that he's the only one who knows her real name. ::melts:: This fic is fantastic. Thanks for the update!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review. I\'m glad you liked the chapter, delayed though it was =). They are totally perfect for each other, because this is my damn fic and I wouldn\'t write them any other way, hee. More soon!

It's been so long since I've read this!!! Ugh, stupid school and work.

Anyway, have I ever mentioned how much I love the ways you depict these two and their relationship with one another? hehe, sneaky Marie at the end...

I totally melted there. Adorable!!! So nervous about whatever's going down with Xavier. I hope it doesn't turn out that he's in on something that will hurt them. :/

“Don’t worry, baby. I’ll feed you and take you for walks.”

ROFL!

Also, that last banter between them was great. haha..."lookin' out for my self esteem like that."

Great chapters!

Now COMPLETE! Logan goes undercover to investigate Sebastian Shaw after Jean disappears. He finds Rogue there, but what is her connection to Shaw, and can the two of them form an unlikely alliance? Of course they can, it's me! Pure Rogan, don't worry, Jean is just a plot device. ;-)

My usual, which means AU, with drama, action, angst, hot Rogan sex, and a happy ending. And I promise never to leave a story unfinished.

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.

YAY! More of this story! hehe...happy day.

I can't wait until they figure it out (admittedly because I, too, want to know what's happening- though I suspect it's Frost making the voices come on...). Looking forward to more!!

Author's Response: Yay! More reviews! Thanks so much for being such a great reviewer! You\'ll get more, and even more soon!

Okay, I admit it. I squealed in a rather embarassing, fangirl-esque way when I saw that you had posted a new story.

And it hasn't disappointed. I really love the intro. Can't wait to see where you go from here

Author's Response: There\'s no embarrassment in a fangirl squeal! I\'m so glad that you like my stories, and that this one caught you. I promise it gets more Rogan-y from here on out. ;-)

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!

Oh snap.

Really beautiful (and hot!) chapter. Uh-oh, Rogue's not gonna be happy with him leaving her to the Blackbird...

Author's Response: I\'m so glad you liked it. You might be surprised by Rogue\'s reaction. ;-)

AAAAHHHH! Now that's just mean. lol

I think they might find Jean alive (which would make me happy). But how are they going to get out of this crazy mess???

Author's Response: Sorry for the mean update! I\'ll try to post the next few chapters quickly to make up for the cliffhangers. :-D

Date: 09/18/2011 Title: Chapter 12: The File

AAAAHHHHH! This is so excellent! You are really capturing emotion so well. And I love the link to Xavier's even before she ever knew them. And how she's suddenly feeling like she never knew Logan and she doesn't know which one she should believe is him (though both are just different sides of him). I can't wait for the next chapter!!!

Author's Response: I\'m so glad you\'re liking it -- and that you liked the connection to Xavier\'s. I was worried that would be a little too cutesy, but I like the idea that Xavier is deploying his considerable resources in multiple directions, and probably helping more mutants than he even knows by his advocacy and philanthropy. \"Casting his bread upon the waters,\" kind of. The mansion school and X-Men are a huge accomplishment, but I like the idea that they are along the lines of a \"pet project,\" and Xavier is doing many other things for mutantkind that we don\'t even hear about.

Okay, I'm so sorry I didn't review the last chapter, but my brain immediately said: CLICK NEXT!!!!! READ THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!! And I only belatedly realized I hadn't reviewed. The suspense is killing me and I'm all tense. Good thing I've been so busy that I haven't been able to read before now. Now I can go at it all in one go. :)

Author's Response: That\'s so sweet to hear...next time I get few reviews I\'ll just assume it\'s because my chapters are so compelling that people can\'t wait. ;-) Thanks again for reviewing!

“Hush.” His voice was a low rumble against her ear. “I’m about to start talkin’ about my feelings and shit and it don’t happen often, so get comfortable.”

ROFL! That's the best ever. And you go, Marie! Kicking Shaw's ass. :)

Author's Response: Ha, I liked that line too. It popped into my head early on in the story, and I couldn\'t wait to get to the point where i could use it!

Aw, I love how they each understand the other more than anyone else could. And they're so complimentary to one another. That's why I so love them as a pair. I really do. And you capture it all wonderfully. Thank you!

Author's Response: Yeah, they really do complement each other in a really cool way. And this Rogue throughout the story was \"weaker\" than I usually write her, but I think she is strong in less ass-kicking ways, including her strength of character to accept Logan the way he is and to understand his fears and insecurities.
