Suddenly Logan was brought back to the present when Max moved her hands up his face and turned it towards hers. He didn't want to look at her because he didn't want her to see what it did to him. He didn't want her to know that he didn't feel safe around himself and that he was afraid that one day his instincts might kick in just like they had programmed him to do. He could hurt someone. He could hurt Max.

Max pulled his head closer to hers so he would look her in the eye. What was she going to say now? That she couldn't be with him. That he was too dangerous. But then again she really hadn't seen what he could really do. He had always been expecting the worst for a long time despite how he acted. This was no exception to the case. He didn't know how to fix this.

"I am sorry. It should have been me." He wasn't expecting that. His face was obviously pained but at this he was just perplexed. Why would she say something like that? If she went instead of him Logan didn't know what he would've done. She pulled him down for a slow tender kiss. His expression faded away as he was lost in the moment. He slipped his eyes closed. When she pulled back he opened them again. Her eyes followed her hands as they traced down scars. She lifted her head in a questioning look.

"Despite my efforts to pretend to be good little soldier they weren't convinced and I had a hard time not being bad." Her lips curved into a slight smile.

"So did they erase any of your memory?" He looked at her curiously.

"I don't think so but if they did I wouldn't exactly remember now would I?" She smiled even more.

"Well I was thinking how I haven't had a descent meal in oh about a month now." He laughed. Count on Max to lighten up the mood with her need for his food. He leaned down for quick kiss.

"I think I can fix something up. That is if there is anything left in my fridge." She blushed slightly.

"Well I do believe there is plenty to work with. While you were gone I made it my mission to keep this place up so it kinda became like my second home." He was amused. Despite the warmth and comfort of the bed he got up and pulled on some boxers and went to the kitchen. She wanted nothing more than to pull him back down into the bed but her stomach detained her with its growling. She walked out after him and perched herself up on his counter as he started to make breakfast.

"I know this really isn't the time to ask but I want to know. Has it been run since I was gone?" Logan said this abruptly gesturing towards the computer room indicating his eyes-only work.

"Well yeah. Once Bling found out he came over and took over the operation. Of course he really wasn't as active as you were but he always had a project he was working on using informants and people to run the jobs. He used the voice dubber like you said and he does a few every now and then. He really didn't know I was here though so it confused the hell out of him when things were moved around and more food was in the kitchen. I think he figured it out but he seemed a little edgy. He last came here 3 days ago." Logan chuckled imagining his friend finding the fridge magically filled.

Soon Logan finished making breakfast and Max sat down to her meal.

"I'll be right back but I gotta go make a phone call." She was reluctant to let him leave but she nodded her head and delves into her pancakes.

Ring ring ring…… ring ring ring….ring ri- "Yeah?"

"Asha?"
