Silver snaps awake at the sound of his mobile going off and yawns as he reaches out to answer it "DiNozzo"
"Hey Silver, I tried calling Tony but it kept going to voicemail. Anyways a Motorist found a Jane Doe in Rock Creek Park who had dug herself out of a grave"
The Felenico sits up, cringing at the crack sound his back makes as he jumps off the skeleton of the boat before heading upstairs "Why has NCIS been called?"
"Well, that's the thing. She has no ID nor uniform...but she is claiming that there's a bomb on a Navy Ship"
He pauses and cocks his head to one side "Well, that would do it" a smile crosses his face at the sight of Tony asleep on the sofa and he turns to the phone "Sasha, take Kate and go ahead and question her, myself and Tony will meet you there" with that he cuts the call before moving around the sofa until he is nestled between Tonys legs. A smirk crossed his face as he gently tugs down his Owners trousers before nuzzling along his boxers.
His Owner twitches and groans as he arches his back as his erotic dream becomes more into focus.
Silver cocks his head to one side as he notes that Tony is still deeply asleep and he shakes his head as he tugs down the waistband of Tonys boxers, releasing his prize and inches closer to run his rough tongue from base to tip...but as Tony still refuses to wake, he slits his eyes and decided to move things along by placing a heavy arm across Tonys stomach before swallowing his length in one.
Tony snaps awake and reaches down, grabbing Silver by the hair as he tries to thrust his hips and growls as he realised he is pinned down. He huffs and lets go before going limp "Fuck Silver"
The Felenico chuckles and pulls off "Sorry, not enough time for that" with that he doubles his effort and smirks as its not long before he is rewarded by Tonys climax. He licks him clean and purrs as he moves up his owners body before gently kissing him as he shares his prize.
A smirk crosses Tonys face and he gently cards his fingers through the silver strands "And to what do I owe for that delightful wake up call?"
Silver shrugs as he rubs himself against his Owner but at a tug on his scruff, he sighs "Sasha called...we have a Case" at the raised eyebrow, he continues "A motorist found a Jane Doe in Rock Creek Park who had dug herself out of a grave, she has no ID nor Navy Uniform...however she is claiming that there's a bomb on a Navy Ship" he shrugs "I got Kate and Sasha to question her"
Tony shakes his head and pushes at Silvers bulk "Come on, better get dressed and cleaned up before we head over" at the pout, he sighs "Look, I'll make it up to you later"
Silver lowers his gaze "You said that about the fact I wasn't allowed at the Party, considering I'm a Felenico...I waited all night for you and even fell asleep on the boat"
Tony cringes and runs a hand through his hair "Yeah, sorry about that...I kinda drank a bit too much and collapsed on the sofa" he sighs as he shakes his head "Look, once this Case is over, I will make it up to you for both times"
He gazes up at his Owner and nods "Ok, I guess we'd better make a move on"
(Georgetown University Hospital)
Silver frowns and turns to Tony "Isn't that Marks car? What is he doing here?"
Tony shrugs as he opens the door for his Lover "I don't know, as I doubt this Hospital is a Felenico one" with that he turns to the desk and flashes their badges "NCIS, Agents Anthony and Silver DiNozzo. I'm here to see the Jane Doe that was brought in"
The Receptionist slits her eyes at the sight of Silver but nods "Down the hall and around the corner"
He thanks her and gestures for Silver to go ahead as he spots Mark talking to a Doctor. Once Silver goes he heads over "Hey Mark, what you doing here?"
Mark turns his wheelchair and smiles "Hey Tony, I got a call about a woman who was causing Felenicos to act strangely" at the raised eyebrow, he shrugs "The Felenicos that get close to her tend to become protective and there was an incident where a bloke was attacked by his own Felenico as he got too close to her"
Tony frowns "What would cause that?"
He sighs "I believe that the woman is a Carrier for the Felenico Gene and seeing as she is confused and disorientated, it's sending the wrong signals to the Felenicos who get within a certain distance to her" he shrugs "It's rare to find another Carrier with the Gene, as normally Carriers are drawn to Felenicos and such, normally end up working in one of my Facilities"
Tony frowns "And you found her here?"
Mark nods "Yeah, the bloke that was attacked by his Felenico found her in Rock Creek Park...I think your Agents are talking to her an-" he stops at the sound of Silvers roar and cringes "Fuck! You let Silver near her!?" with that he quickly wheels himself over to the noise and pauses at the sight before him.
+NCIS+
Silver frowns as Tony gestures for him to go ahead and huffs as he heads off to talk to the woman while his Owner heads over to Mark. He shakes his head as he walks down the corridor...only to pause as an odd scent crosses his nose and he opens his mouth to get a better taste of the delicious aroma. A frown crosses his face as he suddenly becomes disorientated and he shakes his head to try and get rid of the feeling, but ends up growling as the scent of fear reaches him and his vision becomes red.
+NCIS+
Sasha jumps back in shock as a loud roar echos off the walls and watches in confusion as Silver pounces in between her and Jane Doe. She glances at Kate, who shrugs her shoulders, and sighs "Silver? Silver what is wrong?"
Silver snarls and puffs up his impressive scruff as he paces the space between his the woman and the Agents before turning to her and rubs his head against her in a comforting gesture...only to snap his head up with a hiss as two men enter.
Tony pauses at the sight and turns to Agents Todd and Carlson "You two, head to the place she was found and check out the area with Ducky"
Kate nods and turns to Sasha "I'll get these prints to Abby before meeting you there"
Silver slits his eyes, calming slightly at the way two of the people leave before he turns back to the woman. He climbs on the bed and wraps himself around her, curling his tail around her waist as he bares his teeth in an aggressive stance to the two men.
Mark sighs as he runs a hand through his hair "Looks like Old Silver is out of control once more"
Jane Doe looks at the man in the wheelchair in confusion before glancing at the growling Felenico, who is protecting her. She reaches down and runs her fingers through the soft fur of his tail before turning to the men "I don't understand any of this" she leans back against the muscular body "Who am I? Why was I left for dead in a grave? How do I know that there's a bomb on a Navvy Ship? Why do I remember having my fingerprints taken before?"
Silver growls and turns his head to rub against her while letting out a rusty purr, but turns at the sound of a mobile going off and growls as he slits his eyes in warning.
Tony cringes at the look and quickly answers his mobile "DiNozzo"
"Hey Tony! Just calling to check if you and Leroy want to join us for Sunday Roast"
He frowns and pulls back to look at the caller ID before sighing "Normally Jack, I'd say yes...but there's an issue with Silver at the moment"
"What's wrong? He ain't hurt again is he?"
"No, not that...it's just that he isn't acting himself. Look I'll give you an update later, as we have a Case to solve"
"Ok Tony, tell Leroy I said hi and that I hope he snaps out of it by Sunday as Duck is cooking" with that the line goes dead.
Tony sighs and glances at his snarling Felenico "Jack says 'hi' and he wants us over for Sunday Roast" he turns to Jane "So, do you remember anything of what happened it you? Other than the whole climbing out of the dirt thing?"
Jane look up at him with wet eyes "I...I remember going to Church last Sunday, after that I went to a restaurant...I had a roast, but how did I get from there to now?"
Mark gazes between Jane and Tony before gazing at Silver and bites his bottom lip "Tony, the Doctors have cleared Jane and besides from a few cuts and bruises, along with the fact she has amnesia, she was discharged into my care due to the fact of her being a Carrier for the Felenico Gene...but I will happily leave her in your care, for as long as your Case is open, once it's closed I will take her back to the Facility" he glances at Silver "But, I am warning you now, that you need to snap Old Silver out of this as he is too dangerous to have out of control"
Jane looks up in confusion as she strokes along the Felenicos strong arm "What do you mean by that? You...you won't put him down? W-Will you?"
Silver snarls and bares his teeth in aggression at the sudden burst of fear that suddenly assaults his nose, but calms as slim fingers gently pet his scruff.
Tony bites his bottom lip and shrugs "Silver is unique in more ways that one, but his uniqueness is also a curse in that fact he can be a danger if he is out of control" he runs his hand through his hair "Look, lets see about getting you some clothes and head back to mine" he steps forward, only to quickly jump back as Silver lashes out with his claws unsheathed. He closes his eyes as he hears Marks sigh and he shakes his head "It's ok Mark, he won't hurt me...not like before" with that he shivers as the memory of what Miles turned Silver into flashes in front of his eyes.
Silver snaps back to the Present at the scent of Tonys fear and frowns as he uncurls himself from the unknown woman and reaches out to touch Tonys cheek, only to back away as his Owner flinches from him "T-Tony? What is it?" He looks around in confusion and frowns as he spots Mark "Mark? What are you doing here?" His frown deepens "Come to think of it, what am I doing here?"
Mark gives him a thoughtful look "Silver? You're back, aren't you"
The Felenico shrugs "I guess...but where did I go?" He sniffs the air as that delicious scent crosses his nose once more, but this time he shakes it off as he gently strokes Tonys cheek with his tail.
A shiver runs down Tonys spine at the soft touch and he pushes away the fear from the memory as he tugs Silver into a hug, ignoring the yelp of shock as he buries his face in the crook of the Felenicos neck. His heart rate calms at the sound and the feeling of Silver purr and he straightens as he steps back. He gives Silver a smile before turning to Jane "Come, lets get a move on"
Silver pushes himself in between his owner and the woman and at the raised eyebrow, he shrugs "I don't know why, but I can't let you near her" he lowers his gaze "I can't let anyone near her"
Jane reaches out and softly pets the striped tail "It's fine Silver, you trust him and so shall I" with that she stands up on wobbly legs and holds onto the Felenico for support before turning to the man in the wheelchair "Will I be safe with you once they find out what happened to me?"
Mark smiles "Yes, you will be save and have a home at my Facility" with that he turns to Tony "Keep an eye on Silver, I want him gloved and muzzled at all times...otherwise I can't allow you to take him"
Tony bristles at the order but nods "I will keep him gloved, but I will not use that muzzle" he holds up a hand to stop Mark from interrupting as he shrugs "Silver hasn't given me enough of a reason to muzzle him again and I think keeping him gloved will be enough to keep him under control" with that he grabs a Doctor and gets him to sign the release papers while a Nurse goes to get some clothes.
(DiNozzo Residence)
Tony sighs as he opens the door and watches as Silver carries Jane into their home. He forces down his jealousy and heads upstairs to the Playroom before coming back down with the leather gloves.
Silver cringes at the sight but nods as he allows Tony to put the gloves on and lock his hands into fists. A shiver of delight runs done is spine at the feeling of being restrained but he forces those thoughts away as he curls up beside Jane, resting his head in her lap and cocks it to one side as she scratches behind his ear.
A silent growl slips through Tonys lips and he turns away from the sight as he puts in a call to have Agents posted outside, in case Janes attackers return to try and finish the job. Once that has been sorted, he turns to Silver and gives him a fake smile "Gonna head back and see what the Team has found, will you be ok here?"
Silver looks up and nods "We will be fine, go and solve the Case" with that he rolls onto his belly and lets out a purr as slim fingers gently stroke through his scruff.
He stands there for a few seconds and sighs as he waves goodbye and leaves the house. He leans back against the door and forces away the jealousy that lodges itself into his heart as he returns to the Navy Yard.
+NCIS+
(Abbys Lab)
Abby jumps in shock as Tony barges his way into her Lab and frowns as he paces the floor "Tony? Where's Silver?"
A growl escapes Tonys chest and he shakes his head, not wanting to talk about that right now, before straightening "What have you got Abs?"
The Goth rolls her eyes "I will find out what is bothering you, especially if its something to do with Silver" at his glare, she quickly turns to the evidence "Sasha found a key of some kind near where our Jane Doe was buried, Ducky checked for possible other bodies...but came up empty"
"Well at least that's a plus. What does the key open?"
She shrugs "It's magnetized, with no logo or serial number, and it could opening almost anything from a hotel room to a high-security lock but considering that the magnetic code is like a fingerprint, the key will lead me back to whoever made it"
Tony nods and runs a hand through his hair "Ok Abs" with that he goes to leave, only to pause beside the key "Abs? What's that engraved in it?"
A frown crosses Abbys face "Engraved?" At his nod, she places the key under her microscope and smiles "Tony! Your eyesight is amazing" she puts the footage onto the plasma and frowns as the words 'THE APARTMENT' come into focus "Well...it is defiantly a Hotel key of some kind, I'll send a list of the Hotels that use this kind of lock to Tim and get him to call round to see who it belongs too" she turns at the beep from Mass Spec and cocks her head to one side as she reads the findings "I got the results from Janes clothing and its rather disturbing"
Tony frowns and moves closer "What did you find?"
"Erythritol, which is found in low-carb sweeteners. Trim-ethylene, which is in polyester fibers. Di-nitrate, which is a common angina medication and lastly Glycerol, which is antifreeze"
"What is so disturbing about those?"
Abby shrugs "On there own, not much...but together? It looks like Jane has been mixing up a brew to go boom big time, as these chemicals are used in high-grade explosives"
Tonys eyes widen "You think she made the bomb? As she remembers having her fingerprints taken before...maybe she is a Terrorist?"
The Goth shakes her head "I don't think so as I had no hits on the Terrorist Database, I'm checking it again before moving onto the Public Server as I got no hits on the Arms Forces one" she pats Tonys shoulder "Maybe see if the Team has found out something?"
He nods and sighs as he heads to the elevator. Once inside, he flips the emergency switch and leans against the metal wall for a few minutes as he tries to calm his mind...before straightening and hits the button to bring the lift back to life as he heads to see if they have made progress.
+NCIS+
(DiNozzo Residence)
Silver smiles as Jane walks out of the Bedroom wearing the clothes Kate had lent her and curls his tail "I bet you feel better now?"
Jane returns the smile and takes a seat beside the Felenico, but frowns as she strokes the leather gloves "Are you sure you don't want me to remove them? As it seems cruel to make you wear them"
The Felenico shakes his head "Tony wishes me to wear them...and besides, I like to do as he pleases" he rubs himself against her and wraps his tail around her waist "Kate brought over some pictures, in hopes it could help you recognize which Ship the bomb is on" with that he pins the folder between his gloved hands and passes it over.
She smiles as lifts a hand to run it through his scruff before opening the folder and looks through the pictures "I can't remember the make of the Ship, but it wasn't a Carrier and I don't think it was a Submarine"
Silver cocks his head to one side "That leaves just Cruisers and Destroyers" he huffs "Which the Navy has lots off"
Jane sighs "Sorry that I can't be more helpful, I wish I could remember what happened...but it's a complete blank"
Silver lets out a comforting purr and rubs his head against her shoulder, but pauses at the sound of something clawing at the door. He cocks his head to one side and sniffs the air...only to huff in annoyance as he recognizes he scent. He turns to Jane and gives her a soft smile "A friend of mine has arrived" with that he stands and awkwardly opens the door to spot Kort in Hyena form.
Kort looks up and smirks as he lets his tongue roll out before playfully slitting his eye as he shoves his nose into Silvers groin, but lets out a yelp as he is cuffed around the head. He rolls his eye before trotting inside and heads straight to the woman who has that delicious scent.
Jane stares at the Hyena and smiles as she gently reaches out and pets behind his ears "He is gorgeous" she turns to Silver "Is he also a Felenico?"
A huff escapes Silvers chest and he nods but turns to his friend "Kort, go upstairs and put something on-" he quickly grabs the Hyena by the Collar before growling "-but don't scent mark anything, otherwise I'll inform Tobias about where that special cake went"
Kort slits his eye at the threat...but nods before bounding up the stairs and into the Master Bedroom.
Silver watches him disappear and growls when he walks down a few minutes later wearing Tonys favourite pair of Armani shorts "You just couldn't resist, could you?"
A smirk crosses Korts face "You said put something on, you never said it had to be something of yours" with that he rubs himself against the other Felenico...but turns at the sound of a broken glass followed by the thick scent of fear. He cocks his head to one side and goes to move closer, only to stiffen at the deep growl behind him and he frowns in confusion "S-Silver?"
Silver grits his teeth in pain as his body tries to shift into his Tiger form, but due to the gloves he is stuck in his Human form. A pained snarl escapes his chest and he slits his eyes "Kort! Change back!"
The Hyena jumps with a yelp as he follows the order without thought and shifts forms, inwardly smirking as in doing so...he has ruined Tonys shorts. He watches as the expensive shreds of fabric float around him before turning to Silver with a nervous whine at the iced glare he receives.
He takes a calming breath before gently running his gloved fist across the Hyena's head "It wasn't your fault, but don't look to pleased with yourself" with that he turns to Jane "Why do you fear Korts Human side?"
Jane lowers her gaze "I-I got a flashback...the man who attacked me, he was tall, broad, with a shaved head and in a suit" she turns to the Hyena and gently runs her fingers through his scruff "I'm sorry if I upset you"
Kort rolls out his tongue while cocking his head to one side as he rolls onto his back to allow Jane to rub his belly.
Silver smirks and shakes his head as he awkwardly uses the speed dial on his mobile to call Tony
"DiNozzo"
A smile crosses his face and he lets out a purr "Tony? Jane has remembered the ID of her attacker he's t-"
"Let me guess, tall, broad, with a shaved head and in a suit?"
He frowns and cocks his head to one side as he watches Jane playing with Kort "Yes...how did you know?"
A sigh echoes down the line "Because we found a man with that description in a Apartment, which the key where we found Jane opened"
Silver curls his tail "Maybe the person who tried to kill Jane also attacked him?"
"Or Jane killed him before being buried alive! Look, I know you have become attached...but you need to distance yourself a bit. I'm going to send Sasha over to take you both over to the Navy Yard while we try to find out who this bloke is" with that the line goes dead.
Jane looks up "Tony has found him? Is he questioning him? Has found out who I am?"
Silver holds up a gloved fist and gestures to Kort "Better you leave before Tony finds out you were here alone and informs Toby"
Kort cringes and quickly jumps up, licking Janes cheek before rubbing himself against Silver as he quickly heads home.
He watches him go and sighs "Agent Carlson shall be giving us a lift to NCIS" he shrugs "Hopefully it wont take them long to find the truth"
+NCIS+
(Navy Yard, Bullpen)
Tony runs a hand through his hair and straightens as he leaves the elevator, but pauses on his way to his desk as he spots Jane sitting at Silvers desk with his Felenico kneeling beside her. He pushes away his possessiveness as he heads over and drops a folder on the desk.
Jane jumps at the move and looks at the folder in curiosity "What is it?"
Silver shakes himself as he comes back to the present and gazes up before turning to Tony "Did you find out who the guy was?"
"His name was Walter Ritcher, he died 44 hours before Jane was found" he gestures to the folder "I got Tim and Kate to interview his Boss and found a file on you" with that he opens the folder "Your name is Suzanne McNeil, and to sound like Michael Aspel, 'This Is Your Life', enjoy"
Suzanne frowns and leans forward to read the folder. Once finished she bites her bottom lip "So, the bomb threat? It was...is my job to make bomb to help the Navy?" She turns to Silver "Can I...can I see Walter? See if he brings back a memory of some kind?"
Silver glances at Tony and at his nod, he stands "Come, lets go see Duck" with that he wraps his tail around her wrist.
Tony watches them go and once the door to the elevator closes, he turns to his Team "Right, what have we got so far?"
Kate looks up "Well, Suzanne's fingerprints were found in the Apartment where Ritcher died and they were also found on the JFK bust that Ducky confirmed was the object that killed him"
McGee looks up "Maybe the connection lies in the company they both worked for? The Bombe Fernentdeckung Fabrik? As when we interviewed Stephen Brauer, he was shocked to hear about Ritcher's death...but was more shocked about the fact Suzanne is still alive"
Tony cocks his head to one side "Well, considering you told him about the fact Ritcher was killed, he may have just believed Suzanne was too...however maybe we should pay him another visit" he glances at Silvers desk "Hopefully we'll find out the truth about what really happened" with that he stands and heads to the lift "Kate, gas the truck, McGee you stay here and see if Suzanne remembers what happened, as I want this Case closed"
Kate waits until he has gone before turning to Tim "I don't think Tony likes the way Silver was kneeling for Suzanne" she grabs her badge and sig "Lets hope Tony doesn't pay attention to the speed limit and gets us there in record time, as I don't know about you...but I'd rather not be around him when he is in this mood"
A shiver runs down Tims spine and he nods "Amen to that"
+NCIS+
(Bombe Fernentdeckung Fabrik Building, Testing Room)
A smirk crosses Tonys face as the bomb goes off and turns to Brauer "I take it that was a fail then?"
Brauer growls but shrugs "That's Suzanne for you, she was the best"
Tony raises an eyebrow "Was?"
Stephan clears his throat "Yes, sorry, a slip of the tongue" he nods to his Employees before leading the Agents out of the testing room and back into the Reception Area. Once there, he turns to the Agents "I think we are done now, ya?"
Kate shakes her head "I'm afraid not, as we still need to find out what happened to Miss McNeil and who killed Mr Ritcher"
A frown crosses Brauers face "Well obviously the person who killed Walter was the one who tried to kill Suzanne, unless you think Suzanne killed him and faked what happened to her?"
Tony slits his eyes before shrugging "The question we need to ask is, who would want Miss McNeil out of the picture...and the scuttlebutt is that you and her have been rather close at times" a flirty smirk crosses his face "And I bet you loved the attention of a young attractive girl'
Brauer bristles "A man in my position can't afford to risk losing everything because of a sexual harassment suit, no matter how attractive the woman is" he straightens "Now is there anything else you needed from me? As I have a new test to sort out"
Tony shrugs "That's all for now, but we will keep in touch" with that he gestures for Kate to leave...only to pause at the sight of Silver and Suzanne standing by the entrance. A frown crosses his face and he growls under his breath before passing Kate the keys "Go start up the Sedan, I'll be out in a minute"
Kate nods and quickly leaves.
Silver gazes around the Reception, but stiffens as he spots Tony and cringes at the anger he can feel through their Bond. He turns to Suzanne and goes to guide her back outside, only to pause at the far away look upon her face.
Suzanne stares at the man next to Tony and turns to look at Silver at a touch on her shoulder
"You ok?"
She smiles "I think so? This place feels familiar, but nothing is coming back to me" she turns back to gaze at the man beside Tony and cocks her head to one side as she approaches them.
Tony slits his eyes as they moves closer and takes a calming breath before placing a smile on his face "Silver? What are you doing here?"
Suzanne waves off the question "I asked him to bring me here" before turning to the man who stares at her in shock.
Brauer shakes himself out of his shock and glances at the Agents before turning his gaze back onto the woman "S-Suzanne?"
She smiles "Hello" before taking his hand "Have we met before?"
Silver cocks his head to one side "Don't you recognize him?"
"Ya, Suzanne. Its me, Stefan"
Suzanne shakes her head "I'm sorry but my memory is still rather patchy" she glances at the floor before gazing back at him "Did you know that Walter guy?" At his nod, she gives him a sad smile "I'm sorry for your loss, it must have been an awful way to go...being hit over the head like that" she gestures to Silver "It was his Hyena friend that brought back that memory of Walter being in the room with me before..."
A wince escapes Silvers chest at the feeling of Tonys anger and he clears his throat "Erm, Suzanne? Is it ok if we give you a minute?" At her nod, he takes Tonys hand and leads him back to the entrance.
She waits until the Felenico is out of hearing range before turning back to Brauer and slits her eyes "Alright. Quit the act and make sure they don't notice otherwise I'll tell them everything" at his look of shock, she smiles "Yes. Everything, like the affair we were having and the way you got Walter to pay me off like some cheap hooker"
His eyes widen in shock "Y-You killed him!?"
She shrugs "I didn't mean too, but you are the one that left him there to rot" she growls "You couldn't leave your Wife but you could bury me alive" she holds up a hand to stop him from interrupting as she pulls out a small ball from her pocket "See this? Its a new bomb I've developed-" her smile turns slightly insane "-its so volatile that just dropping it would set it off"
Brauer looks at her in panic "B-But you will die as well!"
Suzanne shrugs "I've already been buried"
He jumps up and screams "Sie hat eine Bombe!"
Silver jumps at the scream and frowns as he moves closer, only to be stopped by Tony grabbing his tail and he cocks his head to one side as he gazes at Suzanne "Don't, please don't...I can help you"
A tear rolls down her cheeks "I'm sorry Silver, it's too late. I wish I had met you before all this happened" she gives him a sad smile "Goodbye my friend" with that she drops the small bomb ball and the explosion rips through the building.
He moves on instinct and turns on the spot, shoving his Owner onto the floor as the heat of the flame scald his back and he grits his teeth at the pain.
Tony cringes at the smell of burnt fur and he curses as he grabs Silvers collar before pushing against his chest as he drags him out of the burning building.
(An Hour Later)
Tony gazes at the dying flames and sighs as he turns to Kate "Go home Kate, you can do your Report tomorrow"
Kate sighs "If it's ok with you, I'll head back to the Navy Yard and let the others know what happened" she turns to glance at a silent Silver "Take him home, I'll square it with Vance" she places a hand on his shoulder "It wasn't his fault Tony and it wasn't yours either" with that she heads off.
He watches her go and sighs as he runs a hand through his hair before turning his back on the burning building as he walks over to his Felenico.
Silver sniffles as the paramedics gently wrap up his burnt skin and he holds back his growl as his tail is treated in the same way. He looks up as he feels eyes watching him and he instinctively lowers his gaze as Tony approaches.
Tony notes the tense body language and shakes his head as he turns to the paramedic "Is he ok to take home?"
The Paramedic nods "He's fine, just some slight burns along his back and tail, also most of his scruff has been burnt away but as Felenicos heal fast than the average person...the burns should be healed by next week, but the fur may take longer to grow back" with that he passed Tony some light painkillers "Keep an eye on him and if you notice anything out of the usual, take him to a Felenico Facility where they can fix him for you"
Tony bristles at the mention of 'fixing Silver' but hides it with his charming smile "Thank-You" with that he turns to Silver "Come on, lets go home"
Silver nods and stands without a word as he follows behind his Owner and winces as he takes a seat in the Sedan. Once Tony starts the car, he lowers his gaze to his lap and cringes as he wraps his bandaged tail around his waist.
He watches as Silver withdraws into himself and he sighs as he places a hand on the bandaged arm "Silver, it wasn't your fault" he feels the muscles tense under his touch and he shakes his head "Listen to me, Jethro...it was not your fault"
A tear falls down the Felenicos cheek "B-But I...I should have s-saved her, I c-could have saved her"
Tony huffs as he gently runs his fingers through Silvers hair "Jethro, it was her choice, she didn't want you to save her" he removes his hand as he parks outside their house before turning off the engine. He removes his seat-belt and turns to face his Felenico "Look at me"
Silver glances up and blinks away his tears "Please?"
A frown crosses Tonys face and he gently cups Silvers cheek "What do you want, Jethro?"
He closes his eyes at the touch and whimpers "I...I want to be p-punished...please?"
Tony sighs and shakes his head "No. Not tonight-" he holds up a hand at the panicked look before continuing "-you are too sore and besides, I could have lost you" with that he unbuckles Silvers seat-belt "But i can send you to Subspace, if you wish?" As his nod, he smiles "Strip to your boxers and kneel in your spot"
Silver closes his eyes "Thank-You" before carrying out the order.
He watches him go and sighs as he slowly follows behind him. He gazes up into the dark sky and a sad smile crosses his face as small flakes of snow slowly fall down. His smile softens at the sight before a deep sigh escapes his chest as he heads inside to give his Felenico the escape he needs to put this night behind him.
