2wingo 2008-07-23 ch 12,	abuseWhen I read Wolverine saying that he didn't "believe in much of anything anymore," I remembered something: In the X-Men animated TV series, an episode portrayed Wolverine converting from bushido-like atheism to belief in God. The episode, titled "Nightcrawler" (episode #44, Season 3, 13 May 1995), introduced Kurt Wagner, the overtly Catholic Christian character of the same name. Nightcrawler's strong faith in God caused Wolverine to question his own disbelief and find faith in God. This may be one of the most religious, theology-laden episodes ever made in a mainstream animated cartoon series. The story takes place within a monastery in a small Bavarian village in Germany. Three of the X-Men (Wolverine, Gambit, and Rogue) find themselves being aided by monks in the aftermath of an avalanche. Having been mistaken for a demon by the townspeople because of his looks, Nightcrawler explains to Wolverine and his friends that his genetic mutations were evident from birth and that the villagers chased he and his mother of out of town. His mom (Mystique) also abandoned him as a child (in the comics, she throws him over a waterfall) and a family of travelling performers took him in. When he was young he was able to work in the circus, but he was still treated as an outcast, "shunned and hated." In talking with Wolverine, Nightcrawler says, "Though all people are flawed and struggle with the capacity for sin, none likes to be reminded of our shared human weakness. My appearance does not make it easy." "Don't it make you crazy?" Wolverine asks with incredulity. "It did once, but then I found peace by devoting my life to God," said Nightcrawler. "He directed me to this place [the monastery] where they value the character of my heart, not my appearance." This only sends Wolverine further into a rage. "What are you talking about? God gave up on us long ago!" Nightcrawler counters, "No, my friend, God does not give up on his children-human or mutant. He is there for us in our times of joy and to help us when we are in pain--if we let Him." Later, Nightcrawler tells Wolverine, "We are alike, you and I--angry at the world. My pain drives me to seek God, yours drove you away." Wolverine is further infuriated when he asks why God would have allowed him to be treated so badly. "Our ability to understand God's purposes are limited," says Nightcrawler, "but take comfort in the fact that his love is limitless." Amazingly, the episode concludes with Wolverine kneeling in a French cathedral reading the Bible and saying, "I will give thanks to you O Lord. Though you are angry with me, your anger is turned away and you have comforted me. I will trust you. I will not be afraid."
Wanda W 2008-07-16 ch 12,	abuseLOL! I can't believe she agreed to it. Good for her... it's about time she did something just a little bit crazy and unpredictable. Rogue could use more of that kind of fun excitement in her life and Remy is just the guy to expose her to that. I am loving the way you portray Logan and wish I had quite as much faith in Jean/Phoenix as he does. Hopefully my cynicism will prove to be misplaced. Oh Warren... these are not nice people, hon. Time to go. Wanda
Gidgeygirl 2008-07-13 ch 12,	abuseExcellent chapter,I am really enjoying this story!
annatari.the.writer 2008-07-13 ch 12,	abuseI like the way Warren brings up Down Syndrome, because it makes the point of how ridiculous it is for these geneticists to spend all their time trying to 'cure' mutants when there are people who need (and want) their help more. Off the soapbox now...great chapter!
lovestoread 2008-07-13 ch 12, anon.	abuseI loved the chapter! Thanks for a greaat read. I loved the Romy and how Rogue responded to Remy's plan of marriage. Keep up the great work!
RomyLover 2008-07-13 ch 12, anon.	abuseThis is a ROMY lover dream. Remy and Rogue are getting married. Well, kind of, but that's good enough for me. I'm sure something going to happen, which will make it binding. If that happens, the look on Rogue's face should be priceless.
Yugi 2008-07-13 ch 12, anon.	abuseYou keep me wanting more after every chapter.
CajunStyle 2008-07-13 ch 12, anon.	abuseWho would thought that Rogue would actually agree to Gambit's plan? I sure didn't. I wouldn't be surprise if the marriage turned out to be legit. lol.
Dark 2008-07-13 ch 12, anon.	abuseLoved the chapter. Update Soon. Thanks
Ace 2008-07-13 ch 12, anon.	abuseWhat in the world is Warren doing with Mr. Sinister. Nothing good can come from it.
RR 2008-07-13 ch 12, anon.	abuseI can't wait for the Rogue and Gambit wedding. Should be exciting, even though it's not real, right? Looking forward to the next update.

Chica De Los Ojos Cafe 2008-07-13 ch 12,	abuseJean went to meet up with Magneto. Pyro seemed to care quite a bit about Rogue. Wolvie is playing it safe...for the moment. Rogue is getting married to Remy in Mexico? HAHAHAHA. Oh man I can't wait to see what happens when the X-Men find out. That's gonna be good. AND O! Sinister is so damn evil, his very words drip with venom. This chapter was so flippen awesome! UPDATE SOON! ~Chica~
tfobmv18 2008-07-13 ch 12,	abuseI can and can't believe that Rogue is agreeing to marry Remy. Poor Warren, All I want to say to him is run, run away, run far away from Essex. Mystique is now definitely a matyr for the cause. Keep up the good work.
