Disclaimer: I do not own Danger Mouse (2015) or any canon characters. They are the property of Brian Cosgrove, Mark Hall, FremantleMedia, CBBC, Boulder Media. I also don't own The AristoCats, that's property of Disney. I do own the mentioned Emma White.

Notes: I'd been privately shipping them in my mind for a while, but then after a note on Tumblr from someone else who ships them, I found myself wanting to write something for them. The bit about Squawkencluck's uncle being adopted is not canon, but considering she has chickens for parents, I adopted that as my headcanon.

Anyway, this follows Children of Mercy, so there are spoilers. This contains fem-slash between Danger Moth and Professor Squawkencluck, I gave the pairing the name Squawkenmoth. There is also mentioned Dangerfold (Danger Mouse x Penfold). Characters might get a bit OOC at times.

If none of that warned you away, then I hope you enjoy this!

(Linebreaks still hate me, so I will use PSDM.)

PSDM

London; home of the London Eye, the new Wembley Stadium and Hyde Park. Home, too, of the Danger Agency; the agency comprising of top secret agents. As we enter the building cleverly disguised as a pillarbox, one can't help but wonder what is going to happen in this new tale. Hopefully, it will be lighter than the last.

"Please, don't remind me," Danger Moth whispered. She was in Professor Squawkencluck's laboratory, watching the hen work on some new gadgets.

"Did you say something?" the professor questioned, pausing briefly in her work and turning to the moth.

"No, never mind. It's nothing. So, what are you working on now?"

"I have to repair my Multi-Controller because a certain someone, who shall remain nameless, destroyed my last one."

She bit back a chuckle and shook her head instead. She knew exactly who the professor was speaking of; her good friend, Danger Mouse, was not exactly one that high-tech equipment should be trusted around until he had a proper grasp on how to use it. "May I ask what the Multi-Controller's meant to do?"

"Of course, but really, the name says it all. Basically, it can control just about everything in the area. Take this building for example, I can control the lighting, heating and cooling systems in every room."

"Quite impressive, Professor!"

She smiled demurely at the praise before returning to her work. "I'm thinking maybe you should be the next to receive it."

"Me?"

"Of course. I trust you with my gadgets more than I do with He-Who-I-Won't-Name. For one thing, you actually take the time to listen when I give instructions on how to work it. It's surely going to be of a big help in your next mission."

"If not the one after. I do appreciate it, Professor, most sincerely. I know DM does too, he just gets carried away."

"I know. Honestly, sometimes I wonder how my uncle was able to deal with him."

"Oh, that's right! Your uncle worked for the Danger Agency!"

She nodded. "He's been enjoying his retirement from what my father said."

"I don't mean to pry and you can tell me to mind my own business, but how is it that you have a mole for an uncle?"

"He was adopted by my grandparents on Dad's side of the family." She pulled some goggles over her eyes. "Hmm...I'm going to need to turn on a bright light for a better glimpse at the wiring here. Do you have your special goggles with you?"

"No, they're in my room."

"Hm, I see. Well, it's up to you what you'll do, Danger Moth. I know how you feel about bright lights, but due to natural instincts..."

"I might need to step out. The second you turn on that light, I'll be heading right to it."

"Okay. Well, I'll see you later then."

"See you later, Professor." At that, she stepped out of the laboratory.

Once ensured her friend had departed, Squawkencluck reached up and turned on the bright, overhead lamp. As she continued her work, she found the silence a little too stifling. Oh, she did enjoy peace so she could focus on her tasks. But, she never minded Danger Moth's company. If anything, she appreciated it.

"I guess I could head up to the flat and see how they're doing after..." Danger Moth trailed off as she stepped into the lift.

"Hold the lift!"

She quickly pressed the door open button, holding it until her fellow Danger Agent had entered the lift. "Good thing I've got good reflexes, huh, Danger Hedgehog?"

"I'll say. Thanks for holding the door open for me."

"How'd the mission go?"

"It was tough, I'm almost ready to call it a day, but I still have to make my final report."

"All good?"

"All good. You heading up to see DM and Penfold?"

"Yeah. I thought I should check on them."

"They've been absent from missions since a fortnight ago. You know what happened?"

"Do you remember that orphan girl named Emma?"

"Orange kitten that carried a doll around everywhere? Yeah, I remember her, I saw her a couple of times when she was here."

"She passed away. They didn't take it very well."

"What? How?"

"Let's just say some should never be around kids and leave it at that. We caught him and he's been sentenced to life, but still..."

"Cripes. No wonder they've been so quiet lately. Well, be sure to give them my regards. Ah, this is my floor." The doors opened and he stepped out. "See you later, Danger Moth!"

"You too, Danger Hedgehog." The doors closed and she let out a sigh. "I think the professor was actually a little relieved as well concerning her Multi-Controller. It was almost like old times."
