Talk about cliffhangers, I'm here chewing on my nails! O___________O

[monstrousreg]

No nail biting! o.O There's still some ways to go and these dam space limitations on LJ are forcing me to take this so slowly that every damn chapter's going to be a cilffhanger until this thing is solved.

Awesome chapter, I wonder what Charles's father was talking about...can't wait to see how this story will continue after this cliffhanger.

Thanks you <3 We'll find out soon, promise!

I was fairly jumping with joy when I saw you updated, especially after the cliffhanger in the last chapter. I have to say, the situation looks bad, but I feel like they have enough options left to take care of themselves, with a bit of luck. I have to guess that Charles is the first person to ever really form such a mental bond and hopefully Shaw doesn't realize what that might mean. If Charles and Erik are able to communicate with each other... maybe they can also use their respective powers. I'm pretty sure that Shaw did not think to keep Charles room free of metal and obviously he is not very concerned about touching Erik.

Also, I was blinking at Shaws 'Oh, but I killed your mother ages ago, it's all water under the bridge, why can't we get along now?'. I had the feeling he was actually sincere and does not understand the problem. In fact, their whole conversation gives me the idea that Shaw is really fond of Erik in a twisted kind of way. I bet Erik would have been his successor had he not been able to escape

Thank you!

I know, I usually don't like using cliffhangers this much, but the chapters have to be short so I can properly post them in LJ. I wish I could make them double as big, then everything would be solved in two chapters. As to what Erik and Charles have at their disposal, you'll see soon enough :D

Yes, that's what I got from the movie too, that Shaw was actually fond and proud of Erik, that he saw him as his greatest work and his heir. He thought he did all that was in his power to make Erik pure and the best he could be. Effing psychopath.

And for Francis... well, repressing's never a good thing. Things just tend to, you know, build.

I'M FLAILING ALL OVER THE PLACE.

OMG CLIFFHANGER AND YOUR ERIK, I LOVE YOUR ERIK.

SO.GOOD.

*flails along*

I'm rather fodn of this Erik myself <3 I'm a little proud of him, too.

Am I terrible for preferring this cliffhanger? There's a plan, everyone is talking, and ERIK IS FANTASTIC! That was just....I was applauding him the entire chapter. I'm assuming that what they have is the fact that they share powers now. They're stronger. Shaw isn't expecting certain things from either of them so he's reacting accordingly. Shaw is at a disadvantage, they just need to figure out that out and get the advantage...does that make sense?

I hope Charles and Emma have an epic battle in his head where he just kicks her ass hardcore. Just saying. I can't wait for mooore!!!

[monstrousreg]

I preferred this cliffhanger too. Probably because it's not hopeless, right? There are some slivers of a plan and people are starting to rally up and think rationally about strategies and ways out. Charles and Erik combined are MUCH stronger than apart, especially now, but Shaw has no idea what he's dealing with. He thinks they were just having sex.

And not to worry, Emma's getting her due soon enough *grins*
