uh...sweetie? you do realize storm is still falling into darkness, right??? get her outa there! ;) that's all. ::tips hat::

OMG, he raped her!!! Creed actually dared to touch the Wolverine's chosen mate! Now he's hamburger meat! Oh wait, that has already been taken care of, heh.
Uhm... wow. At least "no fluids", to quote Jean. But still. Whoa. I wonder how both of them will handle this situation.
"I'm sorry I'm not stronger." - I really hope Ro doesn't blame herself for what happened!
Glad to see Logan sitting by her side, keeping her safe.


Author's Response: Hey Steph!! Glad to see you back. :D Thank you sooooo much for taking the time to review as you read--means the world, seriously!! So, thank you. How both of them handle this situation will be important in their development as a couple. Deep issues will be touched on in KC, but they are not the primary focus of this story. The dark events that happen in life are often the catalysts for self-revelations and brighter things, so I plan to use them as such in my story. Glad you're enjoying the ride. more really soon!

A cabin! I really like that! Especially what happened after Ro noticed the bed LOL. Hot and intense. Loved her inner battle and not wanting him to stop :)
And he actually marked her, wow! Does he know what just happened?
Aww, poor exhausted Ro just passed out on the floor. And he just went up and left? Ts... He must be in trance or shock or something. At least I hope so. Because if not he really needs his sexy ass kicked for that kind of behaviour.
I wonder what he will do when he enters the room again seeing her like that... hope to find out in the next chapter.

Really like the changes!
I'm glad to see that Ro's conversations with Henry are still a part of the story :)
Loved the scene in the conference room, especially the interaction between Ali and Logan, heh. About the bits of conversation he picked up before... I think I know who threw in the "sexy" comment LOL.
Wow, Gambit is dead in this one 0.o

That is really, really good. I read your original story, however, this one far surpasses that one in both character development and detail. These characters are very similar to the personabilities depicted in their original comic appearances. This is a story that I check for updates almost every day.
Nice job!

Author's Response: Hope to have an update up today, so be on the lookout. Thank you so much-sincerely, I can't say that enough- for the encouraging reviews. I must admit when I decided to pull the original because I didn't like where it was, I wondered how the second version would be received. Reviews like this make me glad I went with my gut.

Great writing! I almost teared up at the end when Logan was talking to Jean about Ro's condition. I'm glad that's the end of Creed, or is it? I just hope Ro can find a way to deal with this and I hope Logan can forgive himself. Once again, great chapter!

Author's Response: Much thanks for the encouraging review. I must admit I was curious as to how people would react to Ro's rape at the hands of Logan's mortal enemy. This wasn't just tossed in for shock value, it will be a key element throughout the story, so once again, thank you for the kind words, and inspiration to keep at it. :D

You HAD to get her raped....didn't you. Couldn't have settled on a lightening strike 'slam-bang' on his balls, huh!! Well....what's with the retreat into the dark deal?

Author's Response: Yes, BW, my sole purpose in life is to write Ororo getting raped...It was a primal need, a fundemental must have that I just couldn't live without. *sigh* Sarcasm aside, to answer your statement, No a simple slam-bang on the balls would not suffice for the story I am now writing. Before, yes, sure, but no longer. This is only the tip of a very large, very complex iceberg. Her reteating into the dark is simply her retreating deeper into herself. What that implies...well, you'll just have to read and find out, won't you.

I hope I'm not too late to write a review but here goes. I would not say sexual scene was violent but it was aggresive. I like that you did not hold back and Ororo is type of woman who gives and good she can take. I do believe that Ororo is going to take Logan for wild and bump ride. At least Logan was finish with her. He pick Storm off the floor and clean her up. Windrider please make this as rough over the top and as shocking you can get it. Hey we all adore you... so go for it girl!!!!!

Author's Response: Never too late for reviews!! And with encouragement like that... ::grins:: I am just letting it flow. I have no real direction, just a general idea of where I want this story to go...so who knows what kinda ride we're in for. LOL
