Well for one thing I got to say, Rogue will always be one of the few I see as Logan’s truer friends (comic verse), as for the movie I do believe there will be a mentor role for him, as he is for almost everyone in the X-Men willing to listen to his old advices (he always has one doesn’t he). So the Rogue you often portray I like on many different levels. At one time though I was not so sure of her in this story, when she was in full attack mode there ;p but as with the last parts, mucho better. As for Ororo eavesdropping well I can’t really either see her doing it, or not doing it... She is after all a thief in the bottom of her soul, so why not? But then she is that regal mother type and so much more, it doesn’t go very well with listening in (I would assume). So it’s a 50/50 situation for me. I do hope she will have lots and lots to say to Logan when there will be a confrontation, and not to be too forgiving. She has several reasons to be mad, but it may also be said she has reasons to try and fix the situation with Logan. As for the man of mystery himself, I see him in many ways in this story. A man that doesn’t have the courage to stand up and take fight (the leaving part). A man that has made mistakes in his life (to many ;p) but perhaps is looking to remedy those that can be done. A man that has gone thru a lot of things in his long life (as always). And lastly a man willing to risk his life for whatever the reason for those he holds dear. Now all this together don’t make him all that great or all that bad either, but that’s just the thing with Logan, he is ragged on the edges, he’s harsh, brutal and not always friendly. But there is a side to him that not many see, and I keep waiting to get the glimpse of that inner man. I am eagerly awaiting the end of the line to see what this story could conjure for an ending, either bad or good (seems many are afraid of sad/bad endings). As for the ring, and the “what I am” part, does that perhaps link to the Howlett story of his life? Heh seems I got out of the reviewslump for previous chapter ;p

Author's Response: Thanks for liking Rogue, especially in this fic. This is the first fic in which she is getting so much attention...usually she is there, but just as a supporting cast. Here, she is front and center. As for Ororo and the eavesdropping...coming soon...The Clarification. And as far as Logan is concerned...that too in the next chapter. I plan to make it a Ororo-Logan confrontation. And the ring, it will get all parts...You'll see.

Logan bashing witch? Uh-huh. Well, I don't have a helluva a lot to say about this chapter. Take Rogue out of t. Period. Logan doesn't need a 16 year old teenager telling him how to deal--even if she has his essence. He's 125 she's 16. She couldn't possibly understand all of the inner musing that are wolverine. As for Ro listening...I can't see that. She's too mature. She's still a bit immaturein this fic in her actions. Ro will face her shit head on, not avoid it. Don't take the bashing too hard, obviously you have readers, and write it any damn way you want. I'll review either way.

Author's Response: Take Rogue out!! Can you take Remy out of ur fics. Do that and I'll mirror it with Rogue. The more anti-Rogue sentiment I get, the more I'll write her into the story line. And 'Ro listening. There is a reason for that. As for the bashing...you can't win always. Its a sticks n' stones thing.

Give Ro her time and her say then I'll leave you alone. Right now I'm tired of hearing about what's going on from Rogue. She shouldn't really be so centralized in this. Even this being about Storm...you see a significant role of Rogue. I think there should be some one on one time. I don't think Rogue, or Storm over hearing Rogue is the key to make Storm think...or to make Wolverine make a decision on where he stands where he fights for what he wants. This is still ridiculous..there is not equal footing..your just getting stupidity and juvenile tendencies from two adults, and one centuries old. This is bloody retarded get me the one on one and focusing on them in their own right..without supporting rolers! VB

Author's Response: I know you got tired of Rogue the instant you read her name for the first time!! She is not helping anyone make a decision. There will a small snippet of the reason she is so staunchly behind him. And supporting 'rolers' are very important, expecially for a loner like Logan....movieverse Logan at that.
