This story KICKS ASS!!! I have just read it from the beginning and I think it is the best thing you have ever written. I love your Rogue and how strong but broken she is, and the peace that Logan has because of what she did for him is just perfect. I like that Hank and Logan drink together and that Hank is independent enough to not be Xavier's toadie (like he is so often). Please update soon.

Oh, quick correction/suggestion, in the Logan/Emma conversation in chapter 5, at the very end you have a sentence that starts with Carol, that I believe should start with Emma.

Author's Response: Thank you, it's good to know that I'm improving, and I'm glad that I have achieved 'KICK ASS' status. I admit that my ideas surrounding Hank's suspicious non-toadie character (as well as, incidentally, Fenris Corp. and Rogue's contracts with Remy to get her skin under control) were shamelessly pilfered from the Ultimate X-men comics and bent mercilessly to my whim. Logan being at peace was essentially my way of thumbing my nose at a few archetypal 'Logan has issues' versions of his character––and the same goes for Rogue's general badassery and 'no drama' variety of quiet broken-ness (more war-torn than actually broken, as broken suggests fragility, of which my Rogue has little). Basically, my inspiration comes from aggression: when I get irritated with not seeing certain qualities of character or story-arc that I like, I get increasinly frustrated and finally just decide to write my own damn characterizations and stories. This is the result.rnrn

And thank you for the correction; I hadn't noticed it. Self-editing is not my friend.

Awww Wolvie is in love.
