I remember when you put this chapter up and I thought 10,000 plus words! and wondered how I'd ever find the time to read it but this holiday I did and I'm so glad because this is a story I've been anxious to get caught up on.

I really enjoy your take on John, a character that I don't think anyone's done much with if anything at all. I almost want Ororo to get with him. I like the pace you have for the RoLo though. You know I was surprised to see Kitty in this so soon, really suprised but I like that. I like the unexcpected turns you have, makes this so much more enjoyable.

Author's Response: I know. It's hard to keep chapters short for this story. Kitty is a character who makes me happy, she shows up a lot in my RoLo, and she was always my favorite among the characters Claremont created himself, aside from Storm, Dani or Rahne, I guess my second favorite. I always kinda liked John because he was so obnoxious but still had a lot of conviction, they killed him off too soon. There will be more RoLo, preferably with them building a friendship along the way. Thanks for the review, Darlene.

my review didn't go through yesterday!!! argh...

anyway, I loved this chapter. Emma is such a bitch! How dare she say that about 'Ro. I'm glad she didn't get Kitty. I like Kitty in this.

Author's Response: Thanks for the review, Tiger. Ya know I love 'em. Emma has always been that way in the old books, and she isn't even that nice now as a good guy. Well intentioned but selfish. Glad you like Kitty!

"Don’t let anyone else decide it for ya. It’s gotta be somethin’ that makes ya wanna wake up in the morning and that don’t trouble ya before ya go ta bed at night. A man’s gotta be able ta live with himself and the choices he makes, bub. Remember that."
How true. I like the flashbacks and the retelling of shadowcat's entry into the X-Men. I enjoyed the entire scene in the ice cream parlor and the white queen's hand in it. Go Kitty.

Author's Response: I love those old Claremont issues and the old school stories, particularly the ones with Kitty saving the day. Glad you liked Logan's mentality in that scene, Sinjin. If I don't talk to you before then, Happy Thanksgiving.
