"'Mutant' cats?"

Bruce repeated Tony's words with skepticism, staring at the billionaire with a raised brow, "When was the last time you slept?" He asked.

"It's not a sleep-deprived hallucination this time!" Tony pouted, though he only received wary looks from both Bruce and Steve, "There are two mutant cats on my roof!"

"What do you mean by 'mutant'?" Steve asked, leaning against the wall of the elevator as it took them to the top of Stark Tower.

"They both have two tails," Tony answered, "And tell me – how the hell could cats even get on top of Stark Tower to begin with?"

"Cats with two tails have been recorded before," Bruce stated, "Though rather rare, they are known as polycaudal cats."

"Way to be a buzz kill," Tony muttered, though he grinned once they finally reached the top of the building, "Just help me catch them, would you?"

The trio of men stepped out into the cool air of the night, following after Tony once he pointed into a corner of the tower, "They're over there."

Bruce and Steve glanced over to where he was pointing, rather surprised to see that there were actually two bundles of fur huddled in the corner.

"How do you feel now?" Tony smirked, though his two teammates only rolled their eyes at him, "Now, Cap, go catch them!"

"Why me?" Steve asked, though Tony only sent him a deadpan stare.

"Because if any one can handle a few cat scratches, it's you," Tony said impatiently, "If you do get scratched, they'll heal a lot quicker."

"Fine," Steve sighed, cautiously moving closer to the two cats and he stopped when both looked at him, "Stark?" He asked, getting another impatient look from Tony, "Are cats supposed to have red eyes?"

"They can if they are albino," Bruce answered, also moving closer to the cats, "But as you can clearly see, these cats are not albino."

"Told ya they were mutants," Tony pointed out smugly, though he jumped when the cats began to hiss and growl at them, "Mean little things, aren't you?"

Steve rolled his eyes again, trying to make himself a little more approachable as he knelt down, "I'm not going to hurt you," He said calmly, his enhanced eyes easily catching an important detail, "Stark, I think they are both injured." He could see blood staining their cream-coloured fur.

"Well, that might pose a problem."

"Stop worrying, Miko."

Kagome stopped pacing and looked at Sesshoumaru with a glare, "How can I not be worried?" She asked, "Kirara and Kuroro were supposed to be back by now."

Sesshoumaru simply looked back down at his paperwork, "They can take care of themselves." He stated impassively.

"...You're not worried at all, are you?"
