Okay, I hope Marie kicks Magneto's ass!!! The sick bastard!! And she better figure out how to reverse what Magneto did to Logan too!!!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! Last chapter is up, so you will know all. ;-)

I really love this chapter! I'm so giddy over this chapter that I can't fully articulate all the many reasons why I enjoyed it so much. This was sexy, romantic and oh so sweet. Awesome!

Author's Response: :-D Thanks so much for the lovely review!

Excellent chapter! Loved how Magneto managed to control Logan so easily - reminded me of an event in one of the comics when he ripped all Wolvie's adamantium out. Ouch! Magneto is probably one of the few mutants who could really do some serious damage to our favourite feral - Rogue herself being another. But she's not gonna hurt her Logan, is she? Not likely! Not when there's a cell to get out of and a power-mad rival to take care of! Looking forward to the next chapter!

Author's Response: Ha...go read the last chapter, and then come back to read my response to your totally prescient review. I'll wait here. ::whistling::rnrnYeah, it was sad that Rogue had to hurt Logan, but it was really the only way. I did try to throw a few breadcrumbs into earlier chapters about how oppressive the metal is, so that it would be believable that Logan would actually be relieved to find it gone. I guess in the comicverse he's lost and regained the metal at least a few times, huh? I read in a wiki that his healing factor was much improved without it, but not sure if he was ever relieved to have it gone or not.

AAAHHHHH! How can you end it there? Oh, the cruelty...;)

Great chapter. Great story- as usual. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Sorry! Last chapter up now, which is why it took me so long to respond to your review. :-D

EEEEKKKK! Love this chapter! lol, so don't have time to read this right now, but must go read next part...

Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much for your review! Sorry I missed replying to it earlier. Hope you liked the rest!

The John /Bobby part was touching, ouch! Cant Bobby get back to life? lol

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, I know...I started to really feel for Bobby too! Maybe you can imagine a "missing reel" in which Marie figures out how to project his consciousness into a comatose twin in Scotland. :-D

Woman, you're MEAN. This was the worst cliffhanger so far - but great storytelling all over (as I already said). And the scene between "Bobby" and Pyro was heartbreaking. *applauds*

Author's Response: Sorry! No cliffhangers in the next (last) chapter, I promise. :-D I'm glad you liked the Bobby/Pyro scene. I have to admit, I quite grew to like Dead!Bobby. He started out as a bit of a sap in my mind, but turned out to be a stand-up guy. And he knows when to give a girl some space, unlike Inner!Logan. ;-)

oh Erik is SUCH a pain in the ass sometimes!! Wonderful last two chapters. The moments between Bobby and John were very sweet. Now Marie has to touch Mags again to fix Logan. No way she is leaving him.

Author's Response: LOL...I wonder how Erik would react to being called a pain in the ass. :-D I'm so glad you are liking the recent chapters, and that the Bobby/John stuff is sweet and not distracting too much from the main story. What? Marie can't just run off and leave Logan behind? Excuse me, I gotta go frantically rewrite... ;-)

Hey there. Sorry I'm so late on reviewing. Real life is really doing a number on me right now. :/ But, I wanted you to know how much I love this story. The love scene between Logan and Marie was awesome. The way she finally "let" herself delve into his feelings for her... so great. And now, Pyro and Bobby... sigh. Anyway, this is great. You are great. :)

Author's Response: No worries...so sorry about real life troubles! I'm so glad you're liking the story. You are great also! :-D Looking forward to updates on your stories!

EEEK!!!!! Please, please, PLEASE tell me that the other chapter is like, right in front of you, and like, you're just about to post it....right? RIGHT?!? O_o

Author's Response: Well, it's mostly done. :-D I'll aim for the end of the week!

Ah! Evil cliffhanger! But now's when the full power and fury of Rogue is unleashed... right? I'm really looking forward to that. I'm glad to hear I won't have to wait much longer, but sorry to hear the story will end soon. Sigh. Whoop! So conflicted...

Author's Response: Sorry about the cliffhanger! I thought about making this and the next all one long chapter, but it was getting too long and I wasn't sure there would be enough left over for a whole other chapter. I hope you like Rogue in the next chapter. :-D

I was slowly drawn into this tale, dropping in from time to time and finally finding myself waiting for each new chapter. Thank you for taking a (VERY) familiar premise and plot and writing both of our beloved heroes as refreshingly mature human beings - distrustful, hurt beyond measure and still yearning for closeness. Rogue is a strong women (even if vulnerable), and far beyond any usual fanfiction cliché, and Logan as a wonderful man, so much more than the stereotype of a cigar-smoking feral we see far too often for my personal liking. Plus that the story is full of delicious twists, packed with suspense and rimmed with breathtaking cliffhangers - bravo. I'm definitely a fan.

Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review! I'm glad you feel this is a fresh take on this premise and characters -- and that you feel that Rogue is coming across as strong despite her weepiness, I mean, vulnerability. :-)

OK Im on chapter 6 but needed to tell you im loving this story so far. Youre incredibly talented. Im impressed how your AU story makes total sense, thats something hard to find in the fanfiction world: a real plot! Im also loving how marie/logan relationship is developing.

Author's Response: Thanks so much for reviewing! I'm glad the AU world makes sense...especially since I made up a lot of the plot as I went along. :-D

Author's Response: :-D So glad you liked it! Sorry about the cliffhanger. :-)

Very clever way to let her really see/feel the truth, definite Ahh factor throughout.

Not quite sure how Magneto got to them so easily especially on home turf? But looking forward to seeing what will happen now – two very pissed mutants, highly protective of each other, both with seriously dangerous powers - ok so Logan not much use against Magneto but Marie.....bring on Rogue and let the games begin :)

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked it! There will be a little more about how Magneto got to them so easily in the next chapter, but I did try to plant a breadcrumb in a previous chapter (remember when Logan says that it is too dangerous for Marie to go in the woods with Magneto after her, so she should garden with Ro?) to indicate that the woods around the estate are just too extensive to secure entirely from a very determined foe. Yes, the next part was quite a logic problem. You have Wolverine, who can only be restrained by adamantium, and Marie, who has control over all things metal. Very hard to figure out how to imprison them together! I hope I managed to have Magneto figure it out without it being *too* convoluted, but for the logistics of it I had to make them vulnerable to tranquilizers despite a healing factor (although it does take massive, repeated doses).

Okay, now is the time for Super Rogue! Seriously, the woman *knows* what Magneto is like, knows that he'll use Logan to get to her, and knows he can't be trusted. So, don't let Magneto manipulate you, Rogue! Fight! You're tough, you're badass, you've got way more up your sleeve than that villain. Don't go quietly! Damn the torpedos (or, in this case, darts) and full steam ahead! Make Mags wish he'd never even heard of you!

Okay, enough of my ranting. Thanks for the chapter! I'm still in and hooked despite my ambivalence about smut. Whoop-- on to the next chapter!

Author's Response: Yeah, I've been surprised by how this Marie has turned out so far...she's a little more vulnerable (i.e., weepy) than I usually portray her. I like a kickass Rogue myself. :-D I promise she will do what she can. Glad you decided to power on despite the smut...I don't know if there will be more, probably not, but if so I will definitely warn if there is.

Great chapter! I love how she had jeans powers to help her and Logan move on....but crap, what a cliffhanger!

Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the part about Jean's powers...I was worried that it might be too much, but I wanted it to be believable for Logan to win back Marie's trust in a fairly compressed timeline and what works better than a straight-from-the-head burst of telepathy? ;-) Sorry about the cliffhanger...I'm evil that way. ;-) I think I do it as much for myself, if I get a cliffhanger in it means I know how the next chapter is going to go.

OH SHIT.

*ahem*

That is, great chapter, great movement on the story, and a great cliffhanger. The hardest part will be waiting for the next installment.

Author's Response: Yeah, I think that's pretty much what Logan and Marie said. ;-) So glad you liked it!

I wish there was a button for 100 stars!!!! k, now I have to calm down and do a proper review, lol!

She had touched him with her bare hand, and touch to Marie meant everything.

Truer words could not have been written about Rogue...

Hold on, darlin’, I’ll be coming for you...

Here was where I was like, go get her Logan, go save your Marie!!!

“Now, goddammit.”

AMEN, sister...

Then, you throw in that fantastic twist at the end, a la MAGNETO. Unbelievable, I am telling you, you had me completely rivetted. As I was reading (and believe me, I was reading as slowly as I could,) I kept looking at the side bar of my computer screen, giddy because I could tell there was so much more to go.

Now, I shall go re-read your chapter because that's just the way I roll. :)

Author's Response: You are adorable! I am so glad you liked it. I know what you mean, there are definitely authors I eye the side-bar for -- You are one of mine, so I'm so glad I'm one of yours!

These last two chapters have not been slow at all! I found this chapter to be especially riveting. The emotions were just so raw and intense between them. I really liked the way that they finally came to an understanding--Logan finally getting her to access his memories, Marie coming to realize that he really is sorry and that he cares for her. I like the fact that they need to work things out but that they are still desperate for each other.

Author's Response: I'm so glad you felt that way. I think I just get self-conscious when chapters have less "action" going on and are more introspective/character development. I'm glad that their rapprochement felt natural to you. Thanks so much for your review!

Your writing is phenomenal! Not only do you have fantastically creative and fresh ideas for the characters, but you consistently root them in a believable emotional reality that is so compelling and super smutty good :) I usually don't read stories that haven't been completed, but I couldn't resist starting another good tale by you - I loved The Prisoner by the way. And, up until now, I wasn't a member of this site so I couldn't review. But after burning through all 10 chapters in one sitting I had to login and send you my cyber love! Please keep the chapters coming - I'm definitely hoping this one will be epically long and angsty :)

Author's Response: I'm so honored that you joined this site just to review...that is so touching. Thank you SO much for all the compliments! Hope you enjoy the next chapter...it is very long and smutty! :-D

Ummm best chapter ever?? Loved it, as usual. I like how you've managed to develop Logan and Marie's relationship. Doc, you're doing an awesome job. And if you don't update soon, I'm gonna have Wolverine make YOU his next "Target" :-D

Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the encouragement. And (he he), given what Wolverine does to his "target" in the next chapter, your threat is not exactly the deterrent you might suppose it to be... ;-)
