No, Logan, don't fight it!
The description of Marie asleep was quite beautiful.
Author's Response: Aw, it wouldn't be good Rogan angst if he didn't fight it! Thanks for reviewing!

Good luck on the whole 'breaking the connection' thing, Logan. But it will be fun to watch you try.
LOVE that he put Jeannie in her place right from the jump.
I'll be back for Chapter 9 later. Kids need to get to sleep... --Wendie
Author's Response: Yeah, we all know that "breaking the connection thing" is not happening, but Logan is always the last to know, isn't he? And, yeah, Logan standing up for Marie is always squee-worthy, isn't it? Night night kiddos. Hope you enjoyed Chapter 9!

Okay first,your mean!Jean is great. Second, Marie's reaction to Jean is probably one of the best I have EVER read. That was perfect!
Oh Logan, Logan, Logan, silly man, there is no breaking this connection - ever. :)
I think how he threatened Jean is going to become the new standard. I could see it happening in my mind's eye and I cheered the entire time.
Author's Response: So glad you liked the Mean!Jean. And yeah, Marie, she's pretty upfront. In writing this character I try to keep in mind what would have happened if Marie had never met Logan six years ago. Instead, she's spent six years on her own, scraping by, building up her defenses. That's made her a lot grittier than the usual Marie. Immature in some ways (emotionally) but wise beyond her years on others. And, yeah, Logan is fighting a losing battle here, but we'll let him come to that conclusion on his own.

“Don’t you ever try to hurt what’s mine again.”
Okay. There was squeeing when I read that. A lot of it. :D Like an overexcited fangirl.
LOVE this chapter. I have to admit that Jean's character is this unique person that I can really like in fics or I can really hate. There are very few characters that I feel can go both ways, but I totally buy a Bitch!Jean as well as a Jean who more like a sister and friend...odd.
Again..."mine" ::melts:: OMG. I really can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Tee hee. I'm so glad I could make you squee. And aren't we all overexcited fangirls, really? I'm so glad you liked this chapter. I've always fallen on the side of barely mentioning Jean at all or having her be some vague nice person in the background, just because having major Jean/Marie tension doesn't seem helpful for the ultimate cohesion of the mansion. Lately, though, I've been reading some fantastic Mean!Jeans, between Romeo is Bleeding, a re-read of The Girl, The Private Dance, etc. I just couldn't help jumping on the Jean-haters bandwagon, at least for one chapter.

oooo! i love this chappie! possessive logan is so hot! and i loves me some mean!jean, too! great update, can't wait to see what's next!
Author's Response: Ha, glad you liked my first attempt at Mean!Jean. I promise, she'll get more nuanced as the story goes on. I just had to break out the full-on bitch-on-wheels for one chapter. ;-) And yes, possessive/protective Logan is very hot. I suspect we'll see more of that guy.

Aptly put title for this chapter..hehe.
And no Logan! Don't you dare break that connection.
I never would have expected Wolvie to buy heels for Jeanie...never. And the fact that he did, cracks me up.
As for Jean, I'm all for a bitchy Jean especially when Marie and Logan put her in her place back to back.
Finally, as for Marie, I always like kick-ass kinda girl. She isn't afraid and is all real unlike fake plastic Jean. (I just never liked Jean Grey the character...I always thought she was too overrated.)
Fantastic update, as always!

Author's Response: Yeah, I had originally called this chapter "The Mansion," but "The Bitch" was just more fun. And, yeah, poor Wolvie, I did embarrass him a little. See my reasoning in the review below as to why he might have been willing to shell out for some Louboutins. In my mind it went something like, "Girls like shoes. Jean is a classy girl, if I get her classy shoes she'll totally sleep with me. Now I'm going to have a beer." And you're very right about Marie being real, and that being something that appeals to Logan. I actually had this whole tangent about how the animal in him hates when someone acts differently from how they really feel, but it just took away from the story. But I can really believe that to be the case, for a feral to find it very unnatural when someone lies.

Gotta say I'm with Jean on the whole slack-jawed, gaping thing. Bitch is right. Marie sure put her in her place, though.
There is something extremely amusing about Logan shelling out hundreds of dollars for a pair of heels for Jean. I actually reread that line, like, three times, just because it was so well-written. Funny and sad at the same time. Poor fella. We all know which head he was thinking with when he made that purchase...
Marie didn't exactly get the smoothest introduction to the X-Men, but I'm curious to see how she responds to the rest of them, as well as what role they play in bringing down this trafficking ring.
(P.S. Possessive, protective Logan is yum. But that kinda goes without saying, eh?)
Author's Response: Ha. Yeah, my husband got me reading the Ultimate X-Men series, and there's a part in one of the comics where Logan talks about getting tattoos to impress girls (and then of course they fade with his healing factor). I think there was even a fic inspired by that, "Doku," that I read long ago, but I hadn't read the comic at the time. Anyway, it stuck in my mind that Logan can be a player, and probably has more money than he can spend living at the mansion, and in a rudimentary "girls like shoes" reasoning he might be willing to drop a grand on some if he thought it might get Jean into bed. And feeling like a fool is probably not something that goes down well with Logan, so I suspect he was not as diplomatic when he told Jean to "knock it off" as he might have been once he realized she was just flirting. ;-)

Mean!Jean is right. Yikes. Love, love, love Marie's comeback. No defenseless girl, she.
Author's Response: Yeah, it was a little overdone. But, in my conception, Logan probably was just summing up man-style when he recollected that he told her to "knock it off." I suspect he was a little less tactful in actuality. ;-) And hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, who sees the scorner show up a few days later with some hot new chick wrapped up in his jacket...
