The professor has been really mean!

i don't think there's ANYTHING wrong with this chapter at all. it really shows the slow patience Logan has for Rogue's rehabilitation. and also shows just how long they've been gone...and when Xavier calls, like you said as if Logan had been on vacation, it makes the professor look even more cold.

i love it.

Author's Response: Hi! I know this is so unimaginably late you probably don't even remember it. But I was running through some old reviews, and I found this. I never intentionally neglect to reply to someone, and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated this!

Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome! I can't really say anything else other than I absolutely adore this concept. You truly deserve all the praise you're getting, and I'm super eager to read the rest of this story. Amazing, really. Thank you! :)

Author's Response: >hugs very, very tightly< Thank you. Its strange, I spent a year trying NOT to write this story. Its been in my head a long time, and I hope the rest is worthy of your compliments. The next chapter should be on here....Saturday. I'm halfway done now.

LOVE THIS!!!! Gah. HATE that I have to wait for more. Boo. :(
I have an idea! Quit your job/school/whatever, ignore your family/pets/friends/home, and dedicate yourself to amusing me with the rest of this...

Author's Response: LMAO!!! What a great idea. Why didn't I think of that before. Lemme make some phone calls real quick and I'll get right on it. Lol...you should see chapter four Friday/Saturday-ish.

Somebody really does need to see about moving that 'delete' button further away from the 'respond' button. I just hate when that happens.

Anyway, originally I said I thought what might be 'off' was Rogue's response--or lack of one--to Logan beating the shit out of the druggie in the parking lot. Seemed to me that after all his loving, tender care of her for so long, such a violent outburst on his part--coldly delivered or not--might have her shying away from him, at least a little, rather than seeking comfort from him right away. Then again, I said, perhaps there is more going on behind those cloudy eyes than I realize; perhaps she understands more than she can express through words or actions and she knows he was only protecting her.

Overall, the chapter is still wonderfully balanced in terms of his baser instincts (the bar scene--oh, baby, baby!) vs. his nobler motivations (food's ready--gotta go). I love that he doesn't entirely trust Chuck. More on that later, perhaps? And the creative swearing was probably even more effective in the abstract than it would have been in actual purple prose, as it allowed me to use my imagination -- 'blistering' would not have been to strong a word to describe the cursing I envisioned.

All in all, as others have pointed out, you are being too hard on yourself. Relax. And keep writing! --Wendie

Author's Response: Oh, wow. Thank you so much for retyping all that; it was really generous!.... As I've said(three times, haha), thank you and I'm happy you enjoyed it. And I agree with you on what Marie's response would have been to Logan's attack....if she'd seen it. I wrote that she was curled up, head on the armrest. But I'll go back when I upload the next chapter, and tweak it for clarity. :) :) Thanks again.

Moaaaarrrrrrr :D *Dinosaur Kristen stomps around* MOaaaaaarrrr! :D

Love it, keep up the good work!

Author's Response: Lmao >ducks back into cave, starts scribbleing on the walls
