Mini Adventure #9

Being an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Phil Coulson regularly was sent out on missions by Director Fury. This didn't bother Phil though, he had been on very tough missions throughout the years and he had even gone undercover more times than he'd care to admit, but he did his job well. Phil had done it all really and nothing much got to him, he had pretty much seen it all. Mainly this being because Phil had been a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent for many years, he enjoyed what he did, but what he didn't like doing was leaving Rikuto alone when he was on extended mission.

It wasn't hard to find someone to watch Rikuto while Phil was away, Steve would do it if he wasn't busy and Tony would let Rikuto stay at the Tower if no one else was available to take of Pytho Draco. The hard part was leaving for Phil, Rikuto was really close to Phil since the agent rescued him, so it was natural for the lizard to not want his 'Daddy' to leave. Phil always assured Rikuto that he would come back and that the two of them would spend a lot of time together when Phil returned, this always seemed to assure Rikuto and he calmed down after a few moments.

When Phil returned from his missions, he was true to his word and he often brought back a souvenir for Rikuto. The Pytho Draco loved his presents, but he loved being with Phil even more, the two spent a lot of time together until they went into work. Sometimes Rikuto would bring his new present with him to show to the other animal agents and the Avengers.

The past mission Phil went on was in Mexico and to reward Rikuto for behaving for Natasha, Phil brought back a sombrero for Rikuto. The Pytho Draco loved the large hat instantly, he trotted into S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters with it on when Phil clocked in. Rikuto instantly got quite a few compliments as he walked through the building.

"Looking good Rikuto." Steve stated

"Yeah, looking sharp buddy." Tony said

Natasha smiled "Loving the new look Rikuto."

"You're quite popular today." Phil said

Rikuto growled happily as they walked into Phil's office, the agent looked down at Rikuto with a smile.

"How about you go catch up with the other agents while I work on some paperwork?" Phil suggested

The Pytho Draco agreed and that's exactly what he did for the next couple hours, he met up with the other animal agents and 'chatted' with them, getting more compliments as he went. When Oliver, Toby, Xavier, Samantha and Skyler went off to do things they needed to do Rikuto trotted back to Phil's office. The lizard came in and suddenly plopped down on the carpeted floor, the front brim of the sombrero covering his eyes.

Natasha had seen the sudden movement from the hall and wondered if Rikuto was okay, the red-head peeked into the room quietly to hear Rikuto start snoring lightly. Natasha looked over to Phil who was at his desk and raised a questioning eyebrow.

"Siesta attack." Phil stated


Here's a nice little Mini Adventure featuring Rikuto and his best friend Phil! I loved the Garfield strip that inspired this Mini Adventure, so I had to write, type and post it! I hope you enjoyed it!
