Summary: Owen's thoughts on Suzie.

Ashes

When Suzie came back, Owen’s first thoughts ran straight to X-men. Who does she think she is? Jean bloody Grey?

He avoided her from then, unsettled by those dark, cunning eyes. All the affection he’d felt for her once was gone, replaced by fear and the nagging idea that she’d used him. She’d been so interested in anatomy and psychology when they’d been together – he’d thought it was just his charms, but now he wasn’t so sure.

Later, holding Gwen, who was so near death, he wished he’d trusted his instincts and sent their Dark Phoenix back to the ashes.

Very nicely done - there's lots in this, as in all the best drabbles. And anyone who's ever read X-men must have thought of the comparison - this put it into words really well. Nice work!

*shrug* When your default icon is a phoenix and your favourite fandom is sci-fi, what else can you do? :D Thanks.

Yes! Owen is a closet comic fan, though he would probably rather die than admit it. Very nice.

Thank you... I've promised myself that none of my fanfic100 fics will be under 500 words, though, so...

On the other hand, there's always the Jantolution challenge... ;)

Long fics are also good!

And don't tease, you have to write a nice happy Jantolution drabble now! ;)

:D Glad to hear it. And yes, I will have to now. Though I may have to make it a drabble and a longer fic for one of the prompts. Because otherwise I'll feel like I've cheated. Or, you know, not got to play with an idea properly.

Hee. I know *just enough* about X-men to get away with this. ;) And I like a bit of creepy every now and again. ^_^

Thanke kindly!
