Tony continued to sink under the water no matter how much he frantically paddled his paws. Bloody hell! Why could Loki not have turned me into a dog.
"Iron Kitty no like water, Hulk pull plug on big bath!" Hulk roared.
"No Hulk it's a swimming pool not a bath it does not have a plug, I'm going to jump in and get Tony you need to calm down and let Bruce back out, Tony may need his medical help."
"Hulk make plug hole, Hulk Smash!
"No Hulk! No smashing!"
Tony was vision was getting more and more blurry and the pressure on his lungs heavier but he could just make out Hulk and Steve standing at the edge of the pool.
Hello kind of drowning here might be a good time for a heroic rescue! I thought Captain America was supposed to rescue cats from trees or in my case hopefully the bottom of a swimming pool and help little old ladies across the road.
Just as he was starting to lose consciousness, he felt two hands grab hold of him pulling him close to a muscular chest. Tony and his rescuer were breaking the surface of the water a few seconds later.
He must have lost a few minutes because the next thing he knew he was wrapped in a warm fluffy towel, a strong but gentle hand rubbing his sides, drying his fur. Tony lifted his head to find a very worried Agent looking down at him it was then that he noticed Agent was soaking wet, his white shirt, plastered to his body and water dripping from his face.
Tony lifted his paw and gently patted Agent's cheek, looking into his eyes trying to show how thankful and happy he was that Agent had saved him. Agent smiled lifted him up kissed the top of his head then hugged him close.
Ppppprrrrrrrrrr Ppppprrrrrrrr Ppppprrrrrrrrrr Ppppprrrrrrrr Wow! Agent kissed me he really must like me!
Tony snuggled closer eyes closing he fell into an exhausted sleep. He could rest safe in the knowledge that he had his very own superhero watching out for him.
Phil checked that Tony was fully asleep before he turned to glare at the two figures standing the other side of the coffee table.
"Would you gentlemen care to explain to me firstly, why Tony was out on the deck and secondly why you thought it was a good idea to leave Tony drowning whilst you discussed bath plugs!"
Steve blushed red and Bruce shuffled his feet whilst fiddling with his glasses, they felt as though they were in front of a stern headmaster. Steve in true Captain America fashion tried to take all the blame but Bruce would not stand for that saying he should not have Hulked out, that he should have had better control. Then causing even more embarrassment, he asked why they had not enlisted JARVIS's help to find Tony as there were security cameras everywhere.
Eventually after much apologising they both left, Bruce offering to check Tony out later when he woke, Phil nodded agreement.
"Tony even as a cat you cannot help but get into trouble and it not as though I can Taser you to keep you in one place at the moment. I wonder what Super Nanny would do."
