I'm dead. You killed me--especially with this chapter. The descriptions of the scenes in this chapter were very vivid. I could see it all in my head. Though, I keep hearing "Wakey, wakey. Eggs and bakey (bacy?)" from Kill Bill when I read that last paragraph. Darn having a Kill Bill fanatic as a best friend. Can't wait for the update.
Author's Response: Eggs and bakey...that's a riot. I never saw that movie because it looked too violent for my taste, but Tarantino comes up with some good lines. I actually got that phrase "Wakey, wakey" from that song "Fortress Around Your Heart" by Sting; not the song itself, but the music video that came out, like, YEARS ago. (I'm SO old...): "Mistah Sting, Mistah Sting, wakey, wakey, Mistah Sting!"
The update is moving slowly, because I hate writing torture scenes. I haven't written many, thank God...they make me itch.
Thanks for reading and reviewing, Tempest. Good hearing from you.

WOW! That was...impressive. I mean Ororo being brought back to life by her own lightning! I loved that scene. I feel so bad for Logan, not being able to be with Mariko. But as soon as he gets over her he will realise that 'Roro is much better. Loved the chapter! Update soon!
Author's Response: The only thing that got lost in that scene was that Logan and Ororo were supposed to be seeing each other as he unburied her from the rubble in her subconscious; the way I had it scribbled down, it made it seem like she woke up before she zapped herself, not after.
After issue 174, there were a few issues of X-Men that had Logan making a scene at Mariko's house, yelling at her out front and giving back the honor sword of her clan. It seemed like during that time, Ororo and Logan began showing up together more often, too, and building their friendship. I've always wondered why it was never developed sooner.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for reading.

You trying to kill me? Is that it? 'Cause, DAMN woman! THat was amazing!! Heartwrenching, breathtaking, edge of my seat amazing!! Please update soon. (yeah, yeah, I know) Anxiously waiting...
Author's Response: Your piece, Winds of Change, came to mind after I wrote it, but I decided to keep what I had and change it, so it wasn't any mystical connection that brought Ororo back to life, so much as her own stubbornness and her need to help Logan save Yukio. The thought occurred to me, the woman has lightning, she can be her own defibrillator!!! No instant recovery like you had, though (although that was fabulous). There's some "awkward moments" during her recovery that I'm still thinking about. For some reason, the mental vision that I had of the doc jumping back and grabbing his own chest made me laugh enough that I had to jot it down...not trying to steal your stuff, but I am definitely inspired.

Either you are planning on a good long fic or this isn't a RoLo (well, not romantic anyway). Hope its the former rather than the latter.

Author's Response: It is a mid-length fic, maybe seven or eight chapters, long ones. We're looking at more friendship than anything else, but Logan will question himself a bit as to why he's let Ororo go this long, and she'll give him good reason. I'm leaving room for a sequel that will develop out some of what happened in Arena and God Loves, Man Kills, since it has some of the same character dynamics and history.
More updates, likely this week.

I loved the dream sequence! The whole story ties in well with the issues you drew inspiration from; again, great characterizations! *Said without a hand to the hip... this time* Can't wait til you update!
Author's Response: Pressed for time, as usual, and I'm hovering between PCs at the moment. But I've been daydreaming this story quite a bit lately, and itching to scribble some notes on my son's half-used notebooks, my leftover 3M tabs from work, and any other piece of scratch paper I can get my hands on to nail the plot before I lose it. Glad you are keeping up with reading it, even if I'm creeping along ssssllooooowwwllyyyyy...

0.o - You really scared me with Ro on the brink of death! Don't do that again! LOL Good thing Logan was there to save and free her, refusing to leave her side.
Logan, poor guy. If I could I'd jump right into the story to just hug and hold him.
And Yukio... it's gonna be hell for her, right? Damn, I hope she finds a way to escape or something... even though I don't have the slightest idea on how she might do that with all that crap pumped into her.
Author's Response: Yukio is a stubborn girl, too. And Ororo won't be lying around in bed too long, I promise. And Logan has an axe to grind with the bad guys who threatened both of his sweeties, once I figure out how to write it...
