She can't help it. She loves the rain. She doesn't care if it still might be dangerous outside the barracks or that she might run into Tony again or something horrible might happen. It's rain. She can go as she pleases.
So she walks. She doesn't even care that she's sopping wet now.
Her walking brings her near the lake, and she sees a looming figure up ahead. Which turns out to be Ironhide.
The giant robots don't frighten her anymore.
So she makes her way over silently and just kind of stands nearby.]
[Even if someone were to attack her out here, there's an Autobot well within shouting range. Granted, he's sort of lost in his own thoughts, but he's there.]
[He hears the woman approach, but, for the moment, doesn't say anything. The sound of the rain is almost deafening, coming off his armor.]
[Finally, he looks down at her, for a moment.]
It is foolish to miss the ship.
[There's an unspoken question there. He mostly wants... confirmation. Someone to say, 'no Ironhide, it's not'.]
[... But the person he always turned to isn't here.]
[Logan's finally starting to realize that maybe the professor isn't messing with his head, much to his chagrin. He'd much rather this be some stupid mind game than, you know, really happening.
So he's ventured out in the rain. To get out of the barracks. To get some fresh air. To collect his thoughts. So if Ironhide's looking for company, Logan's not too far away from him. He's just not the best of company.]
[It would be easier for everyone if the professor were secretly behind this.]
[Ironhide doesn't know the human standing nearby, but he doesn't seem to be much of a threat, either. So he regards the stranger with a long, quiet stare.]
[It doesn't take Logan's super speshul senses to notice when he's being stared at. He turns to look at the old bot and gives him a cursory size up. Can this tin can speak?]

Which is mostly what she knows him for. Yelling a lot.
But Mimmi turns her head so she can see him better. Don't worry, she'll answer that question for you.]
I miss it, too.

[He looks down at her. Part of him is relieved to hear that answer. While another part is ashamed he'd been so eager to hear it.]
... At least we knew what to expect, there.

[And only then does he look away.]
