I didn't quite get that this one takes place chronologically before the first one until closer to the end but I like it. I think you have to click the round robin button to link this one to the others.

Logan had better hope she doesn't open that box. Course then again this is you, he'll open the box. :)

Great chapter as always.

OMG!!!! 2, we got 2 chapters! Hot damn. The scene with Ro was just funny funny - the way to get the Wolverine to stay in is to give him the impression you need him to go out. Heh. The sex was really really hot, but damn I know we have some trouble brewing ahead. I am still holding out for a happy ending. Congrats on the wedding. Don't let it make you to crazy.

Author's Response: That scene with \'Ro just came out of nowhere, I swear. Originally I\'d planned for this chapter to open with Logan at the dance, and then I started thinking of how exactly that came to be. LOL. And about the trouble brewing ahead...isn\'t that what Logan\'s all about? Thanks for the warm regards. Think I already went crazy a long time ago ;) Thanks for reading and for the review!

I have a laundry list of reasons why I haven't done an indepth review before now but they aren't that interesting. Basically I just wanted to say I have reread this from end to end and I am hanging by my fingers nails about how you are going to end this. As a die hard Jean hater I loved loved loved what happened in this chapter. But even more so I liked how you have woven the threads of what occurred here into the earlier chapters - the PC system the differences in Jean. Rereading the "Rogue"/Logan tryst knowing how far down the path of darkness Jean has really traveled and it willing to go to adds layers to what happened in the medlab.

Please update when you can. I will be happy to beta again at any time, I love your work.

I found this and I think I love it. The different scenes are diverse and I adore the POVs. Jubes and Scott - wouldn't have thought of it but really makes sense.

I think I like this chapter a lot, it is a very interesting perspective on why Logan would still be attracted to Jean but be 'in love' with Marie.

Author's Response: Thanks :-)

I really like this. I like the voice of you Logan and appreciate that you gave him depth in determining what his feelings for Jean were but also his feelings for Scott and the Professor. Keep going.

Author's Response: Thanks! Assuming the muse does not abandon me, I hope to have more sometime later this week.

Just read this from start to finish, I am a diehard W/R shipper but I don't know that I wouldn't tell him to take a very long walk off a very short bridge after what he has pulled. I will be very interested to hear what excuses Logan has for saying Jean's name and using Marie that way. I see much grovelling and repentence in store for dear old Logan.

I like it. I hadn't read the first chapter so I got to read the first two together. I had suspicisions that Victor was Victor. That was cool. I can't believe you are going to wrap it all up in one more chapter though.

First, I still love it. Xavier is such a hard ass. The idea of Logan seeking out Hank's help just makes my heart sing. I like the touch of Logan/Ororo too.

Second, you have 'took' instead of 'tool' in section about Xavier calling Logan. You may want to change it.

Can't wait for the next chapter. BTW I went back and reread the Terri story.

Author's Response: I went back and corrected \'tool\'as soon as I read this. Thank you for pointing it out, and for your review!

I got really worried with this one, not because of what we know Marie's mutation to be but because Logan was going to actually let Jean operate on Marie again. How could he? Doesn't he see what the last 'exam' did to her? I am glad he realized it, that he couldn't do that to Marie again. Now it is just time to get the Heck out of Dodge.

Author's Response: Sorry, I have no say in what Logan does. I\'m just the writer. ;~) But if it helps, I think he meant well. :~)

I love this chapter; you have a great talent for slow development. It works very well. I am kind of wondering what happened in the 6 months between when he rescued her and when this chapter starts but I don't know that it is hugely important, but the time gap makes me curious.

Author's Response: Thank you. >hugs< I\'m not to fond of time gaps myself, using \"One year later\" and other variations. But nothing....vital (is that the word I wanna use?)happened inside those six months that readers couldnt assume. Logan and Marie were on the run for awhile. He fought for enough money to buy the pickup, and they lived out of that and cheap motels. ;~)

I really like this chapter. Yes, it has a different feel than the first chapter, but this one is more background so that's cool. I loved the mystery of the first chapter, and with this one you added to the picture you are painting but only faint background colors and undertones. I think it works great. I can't wait to find out what/how Jean made Rogue scared on Logan. There are only a couple of things I can think would make that happen so it will be interesting if you and I share the same ideas. I wonder, has Jean been cheating on Logan the entire time they were together? If Scott died a year ago and Jean had Logan a month and a half later and 3 months ago was the dirty doctor incident, then there are about 7 months where they were 'a couple', was she cheating on him the entire time? And if so will we find out more? The first chapter explained how she did it, but will we get confirmation as to when and how Logan figured it out?

Author's Response: Thank you for such an amazing review! You have truly restored my confidence in this chapter. As a matter of fact, yes, you will be getting answers to all of those questions in the coming chapters, many of them in the next chapter. And thanks for \'doing the math\'; even I hadn\'t quite got around to calculating how many months they were actually a couple. Keep in mind that even when they were \'together\' he would still leave the mansion for periods of time, a few weeks here, a month there, and also remember that he\'s a feral with a very, very sensitive and accurate sense of smell...oh, dear, did I write that out loud? See, your spectacular review almost had me spilling the proverbial beans...Chapter 3 should be up this weekend to fill in a few more of the solid colors in the picture. --Wendie
