Ok, I'm going to say this first. Echo, I've been reading quite a few of your stories. I've been enjoying them a lot and I think you have a lot of talent as a writer.

But I have to say this for the love of god, please stop using w/ and & in place of the actual words. It is nothing worst for me when i'm sitting enjoying a chapter but then i cringe when i see w/ in a sentence.

w/ is not a word. Its a short-hand statement that's in messages and texting. It has no place in any body of work.

Also & should only be used with placing two names together making them a pair or a couple. Such as Batman & Robin. Or Cloak & Dagger. It does not replace and in a sentence because because once again its not an actual word.

Its funny i was thinking about this.

Next chapter could go like this.

The blackbird could touches down safely back at the Xavier school. The little ramp door from the plane comes down. Everyone ones all relaxed and everything, for a job well done and glad to be back. Then Maria looks around and says, "Hey, where's Logan?"

Scene changes to inside the Mansion. Forge is wandering around the house aimlessly totally unaware.

Then suddenly he's struck by 300 pound ball of adamantium claws and fury.

Wolverine shouts, "BERSERKER BARRAGE!!!!"

And then the carnage begins....

Hehehehehe.... *^^* Sorry I had a lot of sugar. Cool chapy btw.

Author's Response: When I first read this review, my mailbox was acting up and it didn't load all of it, the email simply ended at Rogue asking where Logan was. I laughed so hard at the idea of them leaving him behind I nearly peed my pants. And don't worry about the sugar, totally understandable.

Ok, let me be the first to say, "It's about gosh dang time!" I got seven chapters of my own story in since the last time you updated. ^^

But yea glad to see you back and glad to see the story is up and running again. I'm a bit surprised on the amount of restraint Logan had with the whole ordeal. I loved seeing the turnabout with Scott though, that was refreshing in itself.

Now one more chapter to go!

Author's Response: Like I said, life marched all over me and the swelling only recently left me, lol! But I'm nearly done with the last one so it'll be soon, I promise!

I read this story before but i didn't leave any comment, but i after reading this again I feel the need to anyway. I really love your AU stories. I also find that outside of Logan and Ororo's characters there are always at least one secondary character that I just love.

Amelia was in "Never Been One for Wine and Roses"
Scott was the "MAN" in "Money Dance"

In this story I have to say Jubilee. Her developing relationship with Ororo was somewhat of the second relationship i was paying attention to in this story. My favorite line from her was in this chapter. When she told the nurse at the admission desk “She’s my mom.” I was so incredibly touched, because it showed how much Ororo became a part of that girl's life and how close knit the two of them became.

I have to say your batting a thousand with these AU stories. Makes me wish you had "Getaway" finished and a few others.

No pressure, because I know how tough it is when you have dozens of ideas you want to get to. But only 24hours in a day to actually do something about it. Can't wait to see more, hon!

Author's Response: I know you can relate to having a lot of ideas to get to in one day! Your story is absolutely fantastic and so entertaining. Getaway is still in my plate, even if it is just the edge of the plate. Rubbing Me the Wrong Way was my first AU fic, and I didn't want to mess it up. Jubes was fun to write. I love writing teens. I'm so glad you're enjoying my stories. I love the detailed replies.

Update please! I truly love this story it does a nice touch off from the 3rd movie, almost to the point where it seems it could pick up right after it.

“I’m not finished.”

This was my favorite line from this chapter. It is so blunt and curt that i love it. One single told two people in that room that Scott is awake now and getting pissed.

LOL!
I swear I know a lot of stories portray him as stick up the bum, asshole. But I love Scott someone has to be the up front nice guy, because so many people want to be otherwise.

Author's Response: I'm not even the biggest Scott fan, it depends on which creators at Marvel write him. I thought Grant Morrison actually made him into a selfish jerk, which initially annoyed me, but it made him a lot more interesting. When Claremont wrote him, he was too passive about Jean occasionally being attracted to other men. I wanted to vindicate him here. It was almost like having him say "oh, hell no, not in MY house!" Glad you liked him.

Always liked this story, meant to review it too. It's good way to tie in the birthday tradition Logan has with Sabertooth and make something good out of it in the end.

Nice work, hon

Author's Response: The birthday tradition from CLassic X-Men. Yes, my friend, that's exactly where I was going with that. Good eye. Thanks for the compliment, I always appreciate yours.
