Okay so maybe I shouldn't be the one to say I don't think this is too long since I can't seem to write a chapter under 5k, but I loved this.

Author's Response: Thanks! I\'m so glad you liked it. By the way, when is your next chapter coming up? ;-)

I love this chapter. The entire first section is tense. I thrilled me to see Charles being the one to advocate doing something proactive and the X-men stepping up to fight. The entire scene between Marie and Logan was incredibly sweet and loving and filled with tension.

My only question about Rogue showing up at Shaw's country house is how much of what we just saw is real and how much is Charles. Of course I haven't forgotten what Rogue did already to just bring Jean back to Logan because she thought that is what will make him happy. So the big cliffhanger is 'how far off the range is Rogue?'

Oh and Logan sooooooo has to gut Emma.

Author's Response: So glad you liked the first parts. I\'ll give you a hint about the third part...in my conception of things, Xavier can restrict what Emma perceives, but not create illusions or anything. So, chew on that. ;-)

JJ Blazer said Hank looked like Cookie Monster in Northern Terrorities, that may be what you are thinking of.

Author's Response: That very well could be it! JJ Blazer has always been one of my favorite authors so I might have pulled it from her story. Thanks!

ROTFLMAO!!!!! You just made my afternoon. Thank you. Your inter Logan is priceless.

Author's Response: Aww glad to brighten your day. Yeah, he\'s a simple man. A man of few wants and not-so-few swear words ;).

I like this it is quite interesting.

Author's Response: Thanks, alesia. Glad you found it and are enjoying the story. Thanks for the review.

Oh I love this chapter, I like how it played out. I can't wait until Marie and Logan figure out why Erik wants Jean and Carol and Marie needed to absorb Logan - it is the ultimate weapon, the ultimate mutant - she would be unstoppable. :)

Author's Response: Thanks! Yes, it might have something to do with Rogue being a totally kick ass chick would could take over the world....or not...you just never know. :p

I am completely freaked that Marie killed Emma, not that Emma didn't need killin' but then again I forget sometimes this is assian!Marie so it is probably second nature to her. And Victor - way to go there big guy, you finally figured out you are only as much of an animal as you choose to be.

I would lay money the 'thing' Erik was taking care of was a very pissed off Wolverine.

Author's Response: Yeah, Erik is going to be in for some surprises as well! Thank you for your continued support!

I am not sure why you would say Logan is OCC in this story. There are a number out there that Logan is articulate and stays at the Mansion on the regular basis. Are you think the kids would be considered Mary Sues? My thought about Mary Sues are that they are the author inserting themselves into the story. I don't see evidence of that here. You have created two OC with Nate and Sally, just because they are originals doesn't make them Mary Sues. What they do in the story and how you write them is why could make them a Mary Sue.

Author's Response: Hey alesia. I guess I\'m more thinking of the Logan further into the story, so it was a more of a warning to be prepared for an OOC Logan. I hope I don\'t take him to far out of character though, I mean that\'s the whole reason we like him, right? ;) I was thinking more of Rogue when said my character was a Mary-Sue. Because she does fit the picture of a lot of Mary-Sue. Well skilled, young, attitude, sad background, and so on. I don\'t really see Nate or Sally as Mary-Sues. Like I said until today I didn\'t even know what a Mary-Sue character was. Thanks again for taking the time to read and review. I really do appreciate it.

Jean is just Jean so she can't help being overly....while something I could never put my finger on but made me not like her, how's that?

Author's Response: See, I\'ve liked her for as long as I remember. I always felt that Logan perused her very aggressively, and that, more than anything (excluding the Phoenix force obviously) was one of the reasons she eventually buckled. Imagine having a man, a handsome, dangerous, sexually attractive powerful man completely opposite of your husband/boyfriend/fiancee trying wanting you every chance he got. Constantly trying to persuade you into giving in to your basest instincts, your wants no matter what your rational mind tells you. One who looks for you at your weakest and tries to manipulate your feelings. Now add to that a reckless alien psychic force, a husband who is sometimes gone for weeks on end, and a healthy sexual appetite. You have Jean and Logan\'s relationship. A convoluted mess that they tried to add the overtones to in the moves. Logan loves Jean. LOves her so much that it\'s probably unhealthy. Then we find out that the only reason he was ever attracted to her was because he killed the green eyes red haired girl he first love by accident but doesn\'t remember it. So he\'s constantly trying tget her back. I can\'t believe Rose wasn\'t in Origins. Brah! I\'ve ranted. That was all comic funk. I feel that Movie-verse Jean is stuck with the stigma of her comic counterpart. But Movie-verse Logan doesn\'t suffer at all from his Comic persona. So, in short, I like Jean. In comic verse she fought Logan off for years only deciding to admit she had feelings for Logan when Scott was pushing her away after dealing with a very traumatic experience. She told Logan she didn\'t want to explore her feelings until Scott was better. Then Scott had an emotional/psychic affair with Emma, whose been in love with him for years. It\'s all crazy. But I think that Jean just can\'t keep her nose out of others people\'s business. She convinces herself its ok because she\'s trying to help, or protect others or whatever. It\'s her downfall. And now I\'ve written a rant book. Sorry. Thanks for reading!

ooh the plot thickens. I like it.

BTW I think you meant to write animal and not anial, right?

Author's Response: *grin* Thanks so much! (Totally fixed btw) I knew I should have gone over this one more time. I\'d hate to get a beta for drabbles though. I\'d need someone who was on call pretty much like I was. Ah, well. Guess I\'ll just have to have a keener eye, eh?

I\'m glad you\'re liking these!

I LOVE IT! The short chapters are really exactly how much information that the reader needs to make the story. The rhythm of the entire thing is perfect. I adore the line about Scott and Jean being spoiled children, it is soo who they are sometimes. I started reading this and you were at chapter 15 so finding chapter 16 at the end was like a present! Now I will spend the next couple of days stalking the site for chapter 17.

Author's Response: Thanks, I\'m glad you\'re liking it. The pacing felt right to me too, so I\'m glad the short chapters aren\'t too jarring. Lol at the site stalking. I have to confess I do that too sometimes :P

I will provide you something more indeapth later but I just wanted to let you know I am loving this. It is beautiful and finding the updates yesterday really really made my day.

Author's Response: Aww thanks :). I\'m pretty sure that\'s how every reader on this site feels when they see an update to \'Everything\'.

oh you evil evil tease!!! Cliff hanger!!! I loved the conversation at breakfast - why did you leave home, why are you here on business?? Ironically the answer is the same for both of them. I am really curious as to what is up with Jose and I would lay money Logan is going to have to kick his ass before the tooo long.

Author's Response: Oh yeah. Jose is a seriously sick dude. The only good thing I can say about it is that I PROMISE I will write a story at some point where Marie like, goes to the spa and buys some new shoes and then has a nice dinner with Logan or something. Because I kinda let her get eaten by a pack of wolves in \'Feral\' and well, let\'s just say the upcoming chapters aren\'t going to be any nicer to her. Poor girl.
