Going to take the organometallic approach. There are certainly other ways to do this.
To get methane:
CH3-I + Mg + H2O → CH4 (Water would protonate the Grignard reagent).
To get Ethane
CH3-I + 2Li/THF → CH3-Li + LiI
CH3-Li + CH3-I → CH3-CH3 + LiI

Answer:
Methane (CH4) can be obtained from methyl iodide (CH3I) by reduction with LiAlH4 or other hydride reducing agents.
Ethane can be obtained by reduction of CH3I with Zn or other reducing metals.
