I'm amused how everyone seems to know what's going on but Logan.
I was a bit worried about Owen but when he perked up at the mention of the jet, I was glad.
Author's Response: The man can be a little dense sometimes, huh? Yeah, Owen was a little shell-shocked I think, but he'll recover. Thanks for reviewing!

Strange boy...he's scaring me a bit. I have to admit I love "MeanJean getting her ass banged", but I also have to admit she wouldn't be a very interesting character so...well, I'm just trying to say I found interesting the interaction between Logan and Jean on the plane. The little scene between him and Marie made me "Awww" once more, so thanks a lot! Now she just have to drop her "I'm rotten, I'm crazy, I'm poisonous" role, and everything will be perfect...
Author's Response: Yeah, he is a little creepy, huh? I'm glad you liked the other side of Jean's character...although I have to say that "MeanJean getting her ass banged" sounds like a whole 'nother kind of fic. I think MovieMom is writing that one. ;-) Yeah, I agree Marie has to get over her poison skin complex, but where would our fics be if Marie and Logan weren't hopelessly insecure about their mutations? About a chapter long, probably. ;-)

That was a great chapter. I'm really, really glad it doesn't seem like this guy was a creepy molester man. So anxious for the next chapter and find Kit and Jubilee!
Author's Response: Yeah, I am probably flinching away a bit from some of the grimmer aspects of human trafficking, but my rationale is that this black-market ring specializes in mutants, and so the individuals are generally being bought for their mutations rather than other nefarious purposes. Thanks for your review...glad you're still with the story, there have been some slow chapters!

What kind of turnaround time would you need for feedback? Things are kind of nuts for me right now. I could probably manage to do simple feedback, though -- if what you're looking for is "Hmm, this bit works for me but that bit seems out of character" or something of the sort.
I actually don't have an e-mail address for you, I don't think...? If you'd like to follow up by e-mail, I've got a gmail account with the same username I've got here, baybelletrist. :)
Author's Response: Hi! Thanks so much for your input. It has really helped a ton. :-D

really enjoyable, and thanks for giving me a non psycho hose-beast jeannie- made my week. love ororo's voice too. happy new year!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your review, and glad you found the chapter enjoyable! Yeah, I had never planned to make Jean so over-the-top bitchy, but I couldn't resist it for one chapter. My excuse was that she was just hella-mad at Logan (for the reasons outlined in this chapter) and she let it show uninhibitedly, but she was always going to show a saner side. :-) So glad you liked Ororo's voice too. Happy new year to you as well!

Yay, mean!Jean has left the building. I like it so much better when she's a three-dimensional character. :)
Good chapter. Marie's got to get over that "I'm poison" complex. Chop chop! ;D
Author's Response: Yes, Mean!Jean was fun while she lasted, but I could never leave her so one-dimensional like that. I just couldn't resist the impulse to make her balls-out bitch-on-wheels for one chapter, though! Yeah, Marie and her insecurities, and Logan and his. I'm a little uncertain about how I'm going forward with that. You wouldn't want to read a few chapters ahead and lend your opinion, would you? If so, please send me an email. I would definitely trust your judgment.

I like the scene between Jean and Logan on the plane. It always amuses me that Logan is afraid to fly but it makes so much sense. I am glad the found Owen. It will be interesting what Owen has to say about Logan and Marie.
Author's Response: Thanks so much...I'm glad you liked the Jean. I know I made her a little bit of a caricature the first time we saw her, but I just couldn't resist. I had always planned to make her a more complex character ultimately. Yeah, I'm glad they're finding the other "sales" too -- both to get them out of the way of the plot, and to get to the big showdown!
