He just had to get his mind off things... he knew he would freak if he would constantly be in the lower levels waiting around for Chuck to show up and send him a sign. So for now he could be found in the garage. Fixing his Motorcycle.
Once more letting himself sink down so he lay on his side to gain more access to the engine of the bike which stood now in the hangar. He had some tools laying around him and every now and then the sound of the engine starting up could be heard followed by a curse and it shutting down again.
He hadn't really calmed down in his time away from the institute. He was more pumped up than everything really about what had happened. The things they had behind them. His mind kept wondering like this from the job at hand... which wasn't going the way he wanted it.
A popping noise could be heard and Logan moved his hand up rolling onto his back. He blinked a few times and sighed. This would take more work than he figured.

Walking up the driveway she felt tense it was more than clear that this was the last place she should be she wouldn't be welcomed with open arms that much was clear. Putting her hands in her pockets she looked around trying to see if there where any signs of life. Walking closer to the house she saw the garage door wide open she could but hope that it was Logan in there and not Scott, Scott and her had never seen eye to eye and he would use this chance to let Rogue know just how welcomed she was.
Walking into the garage Rogue in slowly seeing the legs under one motorcycle rogue knew at once it was Logan under there and she was relived.Rogue heard the noise and opened the tool case and took out a wrench " Ya need a hand down there?" she asked in a calm voice the last thing she wanted was for Logan to think she was here as one of the Brotherhoods people she was here to see a friend she wasn't brotherhood he wasn't x-men they where just Rogue and Logan nothing more nothing less

Hearing footsteps Logan had for a moment difficulty to place them. He soon however knew who it was. Rogue. Last time they spoke hadn't been on the best terms. But... he guessed it was all part of it. Moving a bit he looked to the side and moved a bit so he could see the girl who stood there holding a tool.
He moved a bit and sat up now while he moved his hands by his pants to smear the oil off. He looked to the side at her and then at the bike. His eyes kept on the bike for a moment and then he sighed. "Try and take off the exhaust pipe if ya want." He stated and moved his hand a bit.
His eyes trailed to the side to Rogue before he lay down again, he knew one of two who wouldn't be too happy with him and Rogue on speaking terms. But he didn't see any reason why not. She hadn't harmed anyone.

Rogue took off her coat and put it over one of the work stations. Bending down she looked at the exhaust pipe and then stood back up and slid her coat over just a little and grabbed a new tool and then moved back where she had been and began to remove the Pipe from the machine. Although this was nice and familiar Rogue didn't come to fix his motor bike for him.
Setting the exhaust to one side Rogue looked over at Logan they could continue this for a while dance around the subject of her leaving but they where both adults "Ah had ta go" She said pulling no punches about the situation Rogue felt it best to tell him at once she wasn't ashamed or embarrassed about it she was however sorry for how they left things they where friends Logan helped her when no one else did she owed him an apology if nothing else.

"So did I..." Logan simply replied to her remark, he was aiming on a year back when she had made quiet a fuzz about him leaving. He had been fighting with Scott in the garden. Well Scott had with him. He knew it wouldn't be right to stay here. Not if the field leader attacked you in the back. Yet he had never spoken about it.
Pulling part of the electricity cables lose he tossed them to the side and moved back under the bike. Yet he hadn't chosen to leave when the team needed him most. He didn't comment on that though, it would be a blow below the belt. Besides she hadn't come here to fight.
"Watch for the cables there." He nodded to the side and near the exhaust pipe, he wouldn't want Rogue to burn herself or something. Logan himself worked on it, which seemed like random and yet for him made perfect sense.

Rogue opened her mouth to argue the point but she knew as soon as she did Logan would fight his side and then it would not end well and she really hadn't come to sling mud back and forth she wanted to stay his friend "Yea.....sure" was all she said it hinted that she was still raw about him leaving all the time but the shortness of her answer would hopefully make clear that as far as she was concerned there was no ill feeling between them.
Rogue looked to the cables " Yea I see em" Rogue muttered as she slid her gloves off, wearing them was harder to work with and it wasn't as though Logan was going to grab for her hand. When Rogue could see better she moved to adjust the drive belt making sure to keep clear of Logan's hands.

"As long as they're treatin' ya good." Logan stated and moved up for a moment he stretched his back and walked to a box to the side in which he kept parts. He would be able to find some newer in there to give the bike a better look. His eyes trailed over the stuff.
He still saw Rogue like a daughter, something she would probably never understand, nor believe if he would tell her, so he kept quiet about it. His eyes fell on a tank and got it out along with a better looking exhaust pipe. His eyes trailed back as he walked back and dropped the parts on the ground beside the bike.
"You been downstairs to see the professor yet?" They had taken him back home from Genosha. The X-men figured they would be better in protecting him than Magneto would. Yet some of the X-men hadn't yet gone to see him. He figured Rogue was one of them.

Rogue nodded " Yea....Am fine where ah am" she told him with a small shrug there was no need to go into great detail about how nice the rooms where or how good the kitchen was she was safe and had gone of her own free will and that as far as Rogue was concerned was all Logan needed to know. Moving up to a standing position again she went over to a rag and wiped her hands " Your gonna need a new belt....the one that ya have is lookin kinda worn" she told him and there was nothing worse that a broken belt it could do alot of damage to the machine when it snapped.
Rogue tensed when asked if she had seen the professor and sighed she wasn't afraid off seeing scoot seeing storm or anyone else she didn't mind hearing what they had to say but she was scared to see the professor not for what he would say to her but for the disappointment that she would feel when she would walk into that room from a man who gave her a room and home "No.....no ah ain't been ta see him yet" and as far as Rogue was concerned that was the end of the matter, she knew what was coming she would be asked if she wanted to go and see him but hopefully Logan would be able to read between the lines and not ask her.

"Good." He then knelt down beside her and watched what she had found, he nodded. She was right. He looked towards the box of tools and got up to walk over again.
"We found him in Genosha, he's in a coma." Logan stated simply and found what he was looking for tossing it back to Rogue. He wasn't sure if it would be to wide, he would be able to make it fit easily. He was sure Rogue wouldn't know the last thing. No one had known he was in a coma beside the X-men and Magneto.
"That should fit." He stated and walked back to the bike beginning to clean up the new tank.

Rogue nodded she was shocked that they had found him like that being in a coma was never a good sign and in all truth she was a little worried, after all her old mentor was not a young man looking down she gave a small sigh and looked over at Logan making sure she caught his eye before she asked "Is he gonna be ok?" Rogue wasn't heartless she cared if he lived or died and hoped it was the first.
Grabbing the belt in mid toss she sighed "Are you worried" there was no way around that question maybe Logan wouldn't know if he would be ok because as far as Rogue knew he had no medical degree but nine time out of ten Logan's gut feeling never lied to him and it was something Rogue had to agree was something she trusted alot on he seemed to know when and how things would go so she needed to know for this was Charles going to die was Logan scared or preparing for that because if he was she was.

"he's stable... he should be fine but only time can tell." Logan replied and moved back down under the bike to work. He moved his head back and for now just stared at the bike not working on it for now. His eyes seemed to be distant and his mind occupied. He was sure Xavier would pull through since they had contact with him.
He for now however wouldn't tell Rogue what had happened. She would declare him crazy no doubt. "But... a healing factor would have come in handy..." He stated and got back to work to assemble the tank and make space from below.
