Now COMPLETE!!! :-D The X-team, including Rogue, liberate a mutant lab and find our favorite feral...

Okay, that's not much of a summary, so here's an excerpt to give you a feel:

She held out her hand, palm up, and for a second time seemed to stop. The man narrowed his gaze on her hand, and then again on her eyes. He took one shuffling step forward, and she concentrated on keeping her body loose, letting no tension show in her posture. The sudden /snick/ as the claws retracted startled her, but she managed not to jump. He watched her closely, reaching toward her hand. Suddenly he grabbed it, and for a second she thought he was going to bite her palm. But he just took a deep inhale, smelling her scent and then looking back at her eyes, assessing. She thought she saw a slight lessening of the tension in his posture after this strange ritual, but either way they were out of time.

Great chapter! All except the evil cliff hanger of course! I was so excited to see a new chapter this morning that I had to read it even though it made me a little late for work. A girl has to have her priorities, ya know!

Author's Response: Sorry about making you late for work, but so thrilled to hear you look forward to the chapters so much!

So happy to see another chapter! Logan+marie+camping=mmmm mmmm good!

Author's Response: :-) You\'ll be happy to know that as I hit \"Add Story\" at 12 a.m., I thought, \"I hope this doesn\'t make Shuttlelauncher late to work again!\"

Damn!

Author's Response: Is that a good \"damn!\" or a bad \"damn!\"?

Date: 12/20/2010 Title: Chapter 1: The Prisoner

And I have to disagree with a previous reviewer...I think you have maintained a fantastic pace with Logan and Marie's relationship development! Sometimes bonds are formed very quickly under extreme circumstances and shared experiences. Plus, readers love to get to the juicy stuff! Keep up the great work!

Author's Response: Aw, thanks so much for the encouragement. It really helped fix up my day! ;-) I\'m pretty new to fanfic, and it\'s harder to put stuff \"out there\" than I had expected. It\'s pretty easy to start to doubt the direction in which you\'re going, and a few kind words at the right time can sure mean a lot. Thanks so much for reading, and especially for reviewing!

I'm giving the puss in boots big eyes here! (cant you just picture it!?) Please update soon?!

Author's Response: I\'ll try! Next chapter is dedicated to you, for sure! :-)

What a great Christmas present! Santa brought me a head cold so your much appreciated right now! I like how you have set up this chapter...Logan and Marie are going to have some issues to get through I'm sure ; )

Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I\'m hoping to keep them having issues but without relying on the cheesy \"Three\'s Company\" style \"Oh, it\'s just a simple misunderstanding and if they only talked about it it would all get cleared up.\" Instead I\'ll just torture poor Rogue some. :-D

Loved it! I can't wait to see Scott and Logan interacting ; )

Author's Response: Glad you liked it! Thanks for being such a faithful reviewer!

That was awesome! It twisted my gut to see how much they each care about Marie ...especially Logan. I can't wait to read more as always!

Author's Response: Glad you liked it! More this weekend for sure...

You are such a tease but I loved it! Face it, you have us all in the palm of your hand!

Author's Response: Aw, sorry, didn\'t mean to tease. Okay, maybe I did a little. ;-) The next chapter is at least half written, so it\'ll be soon!

I'm still high from this chapter...I will provide a proper review when I come back down to earth.

Author's Response: I think it was WitchBaby who said that I\'m not a tease if I eventually deliver...with all the teasing I\'ve been doing, I figured you guys deserved a big ol\' special delivery of Roganliciousness. :-D So glad you liked it.

I hate that there are only a few chapters left but I hope that means we can look forward to new and exciting stories from you! I've loved this story and I hope you don't let any of the unneeded criticism ( yeah, You know who you are! ) get into your head. Out of over 100 reviews for this story, the same few people have mostly negative
comments...I say, if you've got the guts to write something and put it out there for other people to enjoy, then I can't criticize you even if the story isn't to my taste ( which this one definitely is! )! Keep up the great work! End of rant ; )

Author's Response: Aw, that\'s really sweet of you to say. I\'ll admit, the negative comments do affect me *way* more than they should, but only for a short time and then I\'m able to shake them off. And although I may not love the tone of them sometimes, when people who post a bad review tell you *what* they don\'t like it does give valuable insight into potential pitfalls for the story, and probably did on some level cause me to rethink a few chapters in a way that turned out better for the experience. Everyone on this site has been so incredibly receptive to my little baby steps into fanfic, I definitely don\'t expect all positive feedback. I actually just wrote the last scene -- a little bit of foof that might be surprising change of tone given the rest of the story, and I\'ve written the first scene after The Showdown, so now I just have to get from point A to point D. I don\'t know about other stories, but I had no idea I had the first three in me either, so I guess we\'ll see. Thanks again for all your kind words...I\'d weather 100 bad reviews to hear something like that!

Whew! Had me worried! I thought Marie had hit the road!

Author's Response: Aw, you\'re as bad as Logan with your abandonment issues! ;-) Just kidding, that was actually what I was going for. Thanks for the review!

Holy crap! I didn't see it coming either but I love that you threw that wrentch in the wheel! Marie is going to be furious but I think it was heartbreakingly sweet of him....sigh.

Author's Response: :-) Thanks so much for your review! It was the one that pushed me up into the Top Ten most reviewed stories list. I\'m ridiculously excited about that. :-)

Aaahhh! That was great...I forgot all about strikers son being in the room with them! Loved it : )

Author's Response: Yeah, poor Logan. Remember, last chapter he disconnected the i.v. with the mutant tranquilizer and unwittingly allowed Jason Stryker control over his mutation again. He just can\'t catch a break lately. Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for reviewing!

I feel like we have been on an epic journey together through this and ive loved every step! I love how it came back full circle with the last line....it was such a nice wrap up and thank you for sharing your genius with us!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading and reviewing all along the way! So glad you liked the ending.

"...home of lost causes, and forsaken beliefs, and unpopular names, and impossible loyalties!" -Matthew Arnold

A Brotherhood Rogue is betrayed and finds herself in the middle of a very fractured team of X-Men after she kills one of their own. Now she has to figure out what Carol was & still is up to while juggling a tentative friendship with Jubilee, a growing resentment for the Professor, and a distracting attraction to the growling feral mutant who was sleeping with the woman she killed.

Glad your back! And you keep teasing us by mentioning that you have 13 chappies waiting for us! Well played, madam, well played.

Author's Response: Glad to be back! Screw school! *Riots for 15 minutes* Aaaaand we\'re back. Sorry for the tease - I truly only mean to show you guys that I\'m not stalled or abandoning this. No devious intentions here, I swear on the rock solid smexiness of Logan\'s abs.

And through the pain, through the pain she mourns it. Mourns the loss of the child she was, of the adult she thought she’d be. Back when things were simple, easy, linear. When life followed a logical course, and she could tell you where she’d be in one year. Five. Ten.

This is going to be intense it seems! I can't wait to read more and see what happened to Marie and what Logan has gone through to get her back...keep up the great work!

Author's Response: \"This is going to be intense it seems!\" I hope so! At least, that\'s what I\'m aiming for :-) Thank you for taking the time to read and review, it means a lot.

How might things have changed if Logan knew all that Charles knew about his past.

That's so sweet! I love how nervous Logan is, lol!

Author's Response: Yeah, bones of Adamantium and nerves of steel, but he gets a little whingy when it comes to meeting the parents. I love him...I seem to hear his voice better than Marie\'s.Thank you for reviewing. 8o)

Very powerful! See, this gives you the chance to give us the story before this moment, leading up to it, then this becomes the end, not the beginning, lol! Damn, you can see through my desperate attempts for you to write more, cant you!?

Author's Response: It was a very thin veil, but I was blinded for a few moments. An ending, hmmmm...Potential...I\'ll chat-up my muses and see what they have to say. Thank you for the review. 8o)\r\n
