My very first T&B fanfic! I dreamt that Barnaby took in a baby kitten and named it snow! Enjoy~ :3
After a long day of hero work, Barnaby can finally relax and listen to opera in his fancy apartment. He sighed as he went up the steps outside his apartment doors. There were loud cries nearby. It sounded like a little kitten was in trouble. Normally, Barnaby would not bother to check it out. But, without his vengeful nerve, he had the heart to see what was wrong.
He followed the cries all the way to the parking lot. There was a small, white, fluffy kitten crying out for help. Barnaby slowly approached the little kitten to see what she was meowing about. He looked beside the kitten and there were two paws in front of a wheel of an SUV. It was the mother cat, laying lifeless on the concrete.
"Oh, no," he muttered, then looked over at the little kitten. "Here, come here-" The kitten hissed at his hand. "It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you."
The kitten winced as Barnaby's hand was over its back. He gently lowered his hand of the orphaned animal. She started to relax by Barnaby's gentle touch. The kitten leaped onto his palm. Barnaby lifted her up to his chest very carefully.
"You're pretty light, kitty," he said, taking the kitty with him to his apartment. As they made it inside, he placed the kitten on the countertop. "I'll find you something to eat."
He went through some of the meat in his refrigerator and found some good, left over chicken that Kotetsu made to go along his fried rice. He chopped some of it into small pieces and placed it into a bowl.
"Here you go," he said, placing it in front of the sweet kitten. The kitten ate as much as she could. "Wow, you must've been starving. I guess this is your new home, now."
After the kitten was done eating, it followed Barnaby to his recliner. She curled up on his lap, purring herself to sleep. He smiled and stroked her fluffy coat with this fingers.
"I think I'll call you... Snow."
