Kitty Cat let out a s mall growl as he pounced , trying to get Andronenkos to play with him, ignoring for a moment all those that the other man had brought with him. Andronenkos had not been to see him since he had arrived and he wanted to play. He could hear the others yelling out instructions to Andronenkos, about what he should do. The yelling began to increase especially as Andronenkos put down the plastic and walked towards him. Kitty Cat saw his opportunity and he pounced knocking Andronenkos over and sitting on him.
He began to lick at the other man's face, it had been a long time since he had seen the other man, but his scent he had recognised straight away, even though it was now mingled with two other scents, those of his mates. He ignored the others and focused on getting Andronenkos to play with him, he let out a purr as the other man reached for his ears and began to scratch them, the others around them looking on in shock even as they formed a circle around them their plastic shields blocking him into the circle with Andronenkos.
"Kitty Cat, behave." Andronenkos spoke calmly as he scratched his ears, "Let me up."
Kitty Cat let out a short growl at that, if he let Andronenkos up, the other man wouldn't play with him. The other man seemed to get the point as he rushed to reassure him that he would play with him if he let him up.
"Davidson, what the hell are you doing?" One of those in the circle yelled, drawing Kitty Cat's attention towards him. Kitty Cat growled and began to prowl towards the man, only being stopped by Andronenkos who upon standing had reached out for him to stop him from stalking his prey.
"Davidson, what the hell." The man spoke again, "You don't grab a lion by the tail."
"Just shut up." Andy replied as he began to tug on Kitty Cat's tail, "I know what I'm doing, it would be a lot easier as well if you didn't provoke him."
Those around them just looked like he was mad, but he soon had Kitty Cat calmer than he had been and he was just about to start playing a game with him when he heard someone calling for him. Andy looked up and he was relieved to see Jack come running towards them. He heard one of his fellow officers try to stop him from getting closer, but Jack just pulled the Torchwood card and was soon in the centre of the circle of officers with Andy and Kitty Cat.
Jack looked at Andy covered in slobber, his uniform a mess and chuckled, "You should visit him more often, that wouldn't happen."
Andy just nodded at him, not really wanting to say much more around all his co-workers, something that Jack seemed to understand. Instead the man turned and began to berate the lion to the amusement and confusion of the police officers. "Kitty Cat, what on earth do you think you were doing, going out alone like that. Your Mistress was worried about you."
To their amusement the lion seemed to let out a whine, and then cowered at the idea before letting out a series of growls at the man who just glared back. "I know. Gwen deserves her share of the blame as well, and believe me she will get it."
"Gwen let him out?" Andy questioned, a few others who remembered Gwen seemed to realise that it would be the thing she managed to do without meaning to, and let out a sigh, another disaster that was averted, but if anything else had occurred it would have been another one added to Gwen's total.
"She left the door open when she came back with lunch, and someone wandered off. Wednesday was going spare until Tosh tracked him down." Jack confided, a scowl on his face at the thought of all the trouble that Gwen had caused.
"Is she okay?" Andy asked, deciding to ignore the fact that he was in a group of his co-workers that would no doubt be getting more curious the longer he continued this conversation with Jack.
"Yeah, she's fine, angry as hell at Gwen, but Ianto and Owen are keeping her calm." Jack replied. "I'll get her to phone you later."
Andy nodded at him, before moving out of Jack's way, knowing that the other man should be getting Kitty Cat back to Wednesday before she came to get him herself.
"And where do you think you are going?" One of Andy's colleagues piped up, looking at Jack and the lion that was standing docilely at his side.
Jack just looked at him for a moment before speaking, "I am taking him back to his Mistress, she is very distressed at him being away from her."
"You can't." The man replied, "That animal has caused a lot of damage and must be punished."
Jack just snorted before pressing his earpiece, "Toshiko, you've traced Kitty Cat's movements, did he damage anyone or anything?"
He waited and listened to the answer, smiling when he heard Wednesday in the background saying that the only thing that would be damaged was the officer that was insisting on trying to punish her Kitty Cat if he didn't let him leave. "Kitty Cat hasn't damaged anything, my team tracked him to here and no damage was done on his way here. We'll be going now."
The man tried to protest once more and one of his fellows decided to help him out, before he really annoyed Jack, by standing on his foot. Jack smirked to himself as he walked away with Kitty Cat keeping pace at his side, as he heard the helpful police officer speak, "Do you really want to get on the bad side of Torchwood?"
Jack walked Kitty Cat over to the water tower and waited until no-one was watching them before they stepped onto the slab behind the perception filter, and he activated the lift. They were in the hub within the minute and Kitty Cat was bounding off the lift and heading straight towards Wednesday, stopping just short of her when he saw the look on her face.
Kitty Cat gulped as he looked at his Mistress, taking a step back as he read the emotions that crossed her face; anger, worry, fear and disappointment. He let out a whine at the thought of all those emotions, he knew his Mistress well enough to understand where each emotion was coming from and where it was directed to. The anger was for Aluka's toy, that much was obvious from the glares that were being thrown in the woman's direction from everyone in the room. The fear was about what those out on the slabs, Andronenkos' friends might have done to him, she had feared for him and the worry was for him as well, but also for Andronenkos, worry about how he would explain the situation. The disappointment though, that was all directed at him, and it was that emotion that hurt him the most.
He had disappointed his Mistress, he knew better than to just wander off on his own, especially in a new place like he was in at the moment. His Mistress would have had no problem with him exploring the hub, but he had gone outside alone and had placed himself in danger. Kitty Cat looked up at his Mistress, letting out a series of soft growls and whines, trying to get her to listen to him and his apology, he didn't want her upset with him.
He knew that he would have a lot of grovelling to do, his Mistress would not just forget this incident, but he knew when she started to scratch his ears that she was no longer mad at him. He saw Aluka's toy watching them in dislike and let out a growl followed by a hiss as a warning. The woman soon turned back to her work, trying to ignore and forget about Kitty Cat. That Kitty Cat could easily deal with, she could ignore him as much as she wanted, he would get his own back on her for all the trouble she had caused that day. Not only had she upset and angered his Mistress, but she had gotten him into trouble. It was all Gwen Coopers fault, and Kitty Cat would have his revenge.
