Ooh, the story continues.. how very exciting :)

I'm surprised you jumped ahead a month, as I still think those two (or anyone) caged up together would have difficulty getting along so it would have been fun to see some spats between them, but it does progress the story along and also get them to a stage where there's already more trust between them.

Even though Vic is playing helpful here it's good that Rogue points out that he's done his fare share of damage in the past.

I like Victor's plan.. can't wait to see what happens! It'd be funny if they only turn her collar on so she can suck his power but not his, ha ha.

Logan seems to have gotten very lucky finding Danvers ;-) but it's cool how you've brought Carol into the story. If Rogue ends up having to kill her, as the story goes, then I can't imagine how her sister will feel!

I think you've done well to point out that Victor has developed a caring for Rogue but isn't attracted to her, because it's always upsetting when he helps out, gets attached, and then Logan waltzes in and steals the girl! That always annoys me, but always happens because this is after all a Wolverine&Rogue specific site.

Having said that, I can't help but hope that there will still be some angsty relationship conflicts with Rogue favouring Victor for having helped her out without obligation and blaming Logan for having forgotten about her when he was too busy with Jean/Phoenix.
I don't want Logan to just waltz in and save the day. Actually, it'd be fun if by the time he arrives they've already escaped and Rogue doesn't go back to the Mansion because she's too upset over her ordeal and their abandonment so Logan has to keep looking for her...

Lots wishful ideas! ;-)

Looking forward to the next chapter!

Author's Response: I really want to respond to this, but it will just give waaayyy too much away. But there are a few things I will comment on:rnrnI wanted to jump ahead because I am trying to get this moving. I could go on and on and on about them being stuck together and her annoying the crap out of him while he tries not to kill her, but that would just be forever and off subject. So I needed to get the ball moving... Oh well. Maybe another time, another situation, another story...rnrnWith Victor's past, I don't want to make him into a completely good guy. He's psychotic. He's a murderer. He's just not nice. I don't want to change that. Everything he does from this point on is because of Rogue, not himself. He's not just going to wake up one morning and descover he has a heart of gold. That would just make him lose his edge.rnrnNo comment on the plan.... ;DrnrnWith Logan and Danvers, I didn't want to waist a bunch of time on dead ends. And, plus, I want to start introducing other important players. I will say that Carol Danvers is one of them, but I'm not going to say how.rnrnAs for everything else, I just have one thing to say. Trust me, Logan isn't going to be waltzing anywhere.... Thanks for the feedback!!!!

Really liking this story, can't wait for more

I'm surprised that Victor's willing to fight to help Rogue, given that he's got the suppresion collar on and they could hurt him pretty bad without his healing factor working. I hope we get given a reason later on, or maybe he just likes the fight?

Would also like to know what he's been doing in there for 3yrs? It seems an awful long time to keep him only to plan to kill him off once he's served as sperm donor!

Oh, and how come the Dr(s) never noticed before that the guards were abusing Rogue if they were regularly doing tests/experiments on her? And why does Rogue believe the guards when they say that they used protection when she knows they didn't? The Dr should have known she'd had the 'depo shot' anyway.
Just some incosistencies that bothered me ;-)

Looking forward to where this goes next.. I can't imagine Victor being able to put up being caged in with someone for a whole 2mths!
Logan better find and spring them before that ;-)

Author's Response: First of all, thank you so much for all the feedback. It's a great support system when you're questioning your own writing. I'm hoping that this next chapter will clear a lot up about why he's being so nice to her and hasn't, you know, killed or maimed her yet.rnrnWhy they kept him alive will be cleared up in a little bit, but I'm not giving away anything, yet. ;PrnrnAs for the inconsistancies, the only one who hasn't known about these things was really Dr. Saunders, basically because he's in charge. One of those guys who doesn't care what happens or how the job gets done, just as long as it does. Such as with how the guards were treating the female prisoners and whether or not there was a method of birth control. For him, contriception is an after thought. These people aren't supposed to be caged together, so what's the point? It's not until she's thrown into the cell with Victor that the good doctor, as I like to call him, really starts understanding just what kind of possibility he has. I hope that clears up a few things for you.rnrnAgain, thanks for the feedback and keep reading! things are about to get real interesting!

Great chapter, very well written, can't wait to read what happens next!

I like that you're using the genosha suppresion collars in this story.

At first I thought the roared warning was going to be Sabretooth playing the baddie but now think/hope that he's the 'animal' in the other cage.

Good chapter, interesting start and very well written.

Not sure why in getting kidnapped she's "become one of those mutants who are expendable.. a statistic.. one of the forgotten" but I'm sure you will tell us... ;-)

I like that she feels that Logan should have made her feel better and told her not to go / that she didn't need a cure.

Author's Response: there is going to be some anger between the two later on, and I wanted to establish early why.

I'd stick with Vic too.

Author's Response: Yeah, I agree with that.

I'm really enjoying this story and I hope you are able to finish soon. I realy can't wait to see where it goes.

Author's Response: I am working on the next chapter now, but I think it will be awhile before this one is finished. Not sure how far it's going to go, but I won't abandon this one. Thanks for the fb!!!

wow this is an interesting new take on the lab. Instead of Logan and Rogue we have Victor and Rogue. Hmmmm..... i like this new idea. I can't wait to find out what you have planned next. Though I do hope Logan gets there soon.

Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback. And Logan will get there... eventually. I have a little more planned for our favorite girl before I reunite her with her man.

OOO... intense... I wanna find out who it is!

wow what a chapter the angst is just stunnning. Hope to read an update soon, I been reading since the first post. I wonder is Mr.Cage man is Sabertooth??? can't wait to read what happens next.

Oh God. Poor Marie. And where is Logan? I want more.

Intense topic well written.

And an evil cliffhanger at the end!

I really like it, even if the story hasn't really started yet. And wow 3 weeks come on Logan it was about time you got you head out of your a**. And these x-men don't seem to even care, freaking bums. Hope you continue it. =)

Author's Response: Actually, the next chapter is in beta process right now and will be up very, very soon! Thanks for reading.

Yay! He's going after her!
