Maybe I'm no good from the head, but I like this Logan, like him a lot. And I wouldn't mind reading more of this in the near future. Please... Pleeeaaassee don't take weeks to update?

Author's Response: I\'m offended! lol, not really. I had the next chapter all laid out and then I wasn\'t sure if I liked the story going like that. So any delay is due to the fact that I enjoy arguing with myself. :) This Logan...he\'s a bad boy.

Yikes! We get tho choose the ones they slaughter? I call everybody else but Wolverine and Rogue! ;)

It's nice to see Wolvie in a bit lighter mood for a change. I wonder is it because he genuinely wants to escape or has he just grown tired of Rogue? Perhaps he realized that if he kicks her out he doesn't have to listen her anymore? I don't know why, but I can actually see this version of Logie doing that. I can see him helping his cellmate to escape just to get some peace and quiet.

Author's Response: I definitely agree with you. She could be a means to an end for him and that\'s it. But so could he be for her. I mean, come on, she must have realized somewhere along the way that there was no way she was getting out on her own. She HAD to take him. The lingering question is did he HAVE to take her? :O~

No need to hide, RD. :) Things are just getting interesting. It's nice to see small tidbits of caring sprinkled so sparsely to Wolverine's otherwise so gruff character. It makes it more real for me than the overly mushy "I'll-Die-For-You!" -Logan that I keep seeing usually while reading fics. I hope you're not planning to leave us hanging in suspence for too long. If that's the case you'd better find something big and sturdy to hide behind... :)

Author's Response: This Wolvie...he ain\'t in love to say the least. But I like him, he\'s a simple guy. For his lack of communication he feels very open to me, easy to read. Without having to touch him Rogue knew who he was, understands/respects, and acts accordingly. Next chapters difficult, everyone from the good Colonel to Sabretooth is giving me different ways to go and I\'m having a hard time choosing because Wolverine and Rogue are strangely uncooperative with any of them.

Dang. If only I could see this on big silver screen with Anna and Hugh in leading roles. Especially this epilogue that you said would be unnecessary to read.

I enjoyed the whole story immensely, but this last chapter somehow managed to steal the whole show. And it left me wondering... What happens next? Not too many fics today do that anymore.

Oh, and thanks for not upping the rating. Anything more intimate between these guys at this point wouldn't have worked IMO.

Author's Response: You know, I really wish all my stories were on the big screen (money....) lol. I said it was unnecessary because for me the story ended the previous chapter, but I knew most people would have felt a little heart broken at that ending so I sat down and had to ask Wolvie and Rogue \'okay, guys, if you do see each other again, when and where?\' And thats what they told me, and nothing afterwards. So its an open ending for everyone :D\r\n...Would you jump some guy you haven\'t seen for three years and only known for two weeks before that and during those two weeks had quite a bumpy relationship for most of it? It\'s never usually a good idea. ;) Thanks!

But of course, Wolvie! Let me just change to something more comfortable and...

Darn. This must be one of my favorite christmas fics. Merry Christmas. :)

Author's Response: You\'d waste time changing?? Hell, I\'d be like yeah baby - right here, right now!\r\n\r\nGlad you enjoyed it! And Merry Christmas to you too! :o)

Owie! Poor Logan... But yeah. This is good. Maybe few funny words here and there, nothing major. And look who's talking... Should never, ever comment about grammar.

Anyway, I liked this story very much, perhaps because it was written much similar fashion as I see Logan/Rogue relationship. Logan is the strong and able one, but Marie isn't the fragile flower either, just little confused and scared, aiming to the wrong target for the right reasons.

I'm going to take little different approach. I don't evan want to know what lead to this. This is perfect for me as a one-shot. Usually I hate this kind of fics, but there was something in this that made me very happy that I was left in the dark with my own speculations of what lead to Marie's imprisonment. Great work. Thank you for posting. Oh, and happy New Year! :)

Rogue watches too much TV. Rated R for language and erm...content. :)

Dr. Sue MUST die. Slowly. Sllooowly and preferably as painfully as possible, while copulating in the bathtub filled with chocolate syrup, the guy pounding her from behind. *Couldn't agree more. What kind of a twisted hag is that Dr. Sue-Me, anyway? And what's her address?*
And what do you need her address for? Planning to pay her a visit? *Nope. Just need to know where to send this bathtub.* Bathtub? What bathtub... Logie! That was my syrup! *Notice the past tense? "Was"? As in no more yours?*

Author's Response: LOL! Heh. :P~ Poor Dr.Sue. She\'s just trying to help. (Although, if ya gotta die, that ain\'t a bad way to go ;) )

I'd love to see what happens when they get back home. Logan's last comment... I could actually hear it as if he was standing right beside me. :)

Author's Response: Hmmm...maybe. But I make no promises. :)

Logan's hungry...and we're not talking food.

I don't mind at all! Wow! Thanks! But you're giving me too much credit, I think. anyways, thanks again.

This was a good story. I was there, in that train. On a seat next to theirs and saw that happening.

I think this is more optimistic in nature compared to mine. It's nice to see how differently we can look at things.

I especially loved the last line. There really are moments and things where you think like that. Life can wait.

Thanks again. :)

Author's Response: Nope honey, credit where credit is due, it just popped right in there after reading \'Itch\' and I always try to thank the muse that made the story happen. So again Thank You! Look forward to reading more along the line too, Jo.

Logan's got a few choice words when Storm doesn't leave room to argue.

Love your Logan's voice. I have read this story before somewhere, can't really remember when or where, and I lost the link. I'm glad you posted this here. :)

Not good with rewiews, I'm afraid, but lets give this a shot. Because this truly deserves it.

I like this one a lot. The world you have created has been used often before, but you managed to make it sound something new, fresh and interesting. I'm really looking forward for the next chapters.
Marie's numbness comes through loud and clear, but there's that little something that makes the reader think that there's more to it. That she hasn't fully given up yet. Or is that just my wishful thinking? Perhaps.
Aaand... owie. I probably have something more to say when next chapter arrives. Really, really looking forward for that.

Author's Response: Aw, you totally just made my day! And, yes, that\'s exactly the tone I was aiming for, and I think you\'ve nailed the description better than I could have. You totally get a gigantic *hugglesquish* from me. <3

Reviewer: aranenumenesse Signed
Date: 09/22/2008 Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2

This is getting even better. The tone fits the story perfectly, even Scott's 'breakdown' doesn't feel weird or awkward, it's just something that happened, and reader has to deal with it.
There are nice details sprinkled through the story, mainly Marie's memories of the past, and they give a brief reprieve from the hell she's living in now, but you have integrated them in to the story well, they do not mess up the plot, but rather enhance it.
For your plans for the future I'd say write what feels best for you, but I'm having slight difficulties imagining this written from Logan's POV. Might be interesting to see.
Waiting for the next update with curiosity. :)

Author's Response: Oh, thank you! :D And we\'ll see what happens with the POV. I\'ll def get it beta-ed this time if I switch POVs.

I knew you wouldn't give up on this. There are stories that need to be told, and this is one of those stories. I'm glad that it's you holding the pen on this one. Again, perfect tone for the chapter. You describe the most crucial things so vividly that it's practically impossible not to live in the universe you've created.

Waiting for next installment. It's harder than waiting for Santa at Christmas.

A secret of the future is revealed!!

Spell checker is our friend. It would be a good idea to run your story through it before posting, and perhaps you could try and divide each chapter you post in to paragraphs. Wall of text hides the story you're trying to tell from us.

Oh, one question. Is the girl in the story Rogue? If so, her name is Marie, not Maria.

Grammatical issues aside (I'm no expert, either), I like the way you started this. No nonsense, we get to jump in the middle of things from the get go. And you have an interesting situation going on, it's usually Logan who's amnesiac, not Marie.

Author's Response: Read the next one in the series to see!!!!

Have you been spying on me? Something like this actually happened to me, but it was half-open bathroom door, not bedpost. Wasn't funny when it happened, but now I can see the humor in it. :)

Hmm... This drabble made me think. They usually do, and that's why I try to avoid reading them, but since you wrote it I had no chance but to read it... Why is it that every time Marie gets a boo-boo, Logan is so freaking eager to heal her? And why is it that everybody, us AND Marie expects him to heal her?

Author's Response: Who, me? O.O No..No, course not. Don\'t look under the fern. lol, it must be something going around. I was staying at a friends house and didn\'t want to turn the lights on and wake everyone up. Walked right into the bed post. Except it was metal. Had a big ole bump and bruise on my nose. All day people asked, \"What happened to you?\" And I had to relay the embarrassing tale. To which I thought Rogue is so fricken lucky. She could have Logan heal her and no one would know the difference. Because its another chance for him to prove his how so hero manliness? And because caring is sharing, Ara. :D~

After fleeing the mansion years ago after the death of Xavier the X-Men called him again looking for his help.

Author's Response: Yep, you implanted this extremely annoying urge to write a reluctant leader Scott in my poor little brain. And now the consequences-- another unfinished fic floating around. :P
