Hawk was beside himself and unable to help it as he alternated between begging noises and clasping his hands together in a praying motion at his Tad and gushing with fingers wriggling in Jazz Hands at the basket of kittens on display.

Ianto had not known there was a Kitten Korner and could only groan as Hawk saw a jet black one in amongst all the sea of white. A pure black Persian kitten with piercing blue eyes and a look of pure boredom. The large sign proclaiming them FOR SALE was not good.

"Look!" Hawk hissed, totally out of Captain Kitty Hawk mode "It's… it's a minion!"

"Hawkeye…"

"When they try to take over the world my little black fluffs of doom will be my greatest weapons!" Hawk boomed, then cleared his throat and adjusted his headband as he remembered where he wss "I mean … citizen. I need me a mascot!"

Ianto groaned and then could only sigh as Hawk did the next step needed to create his dream of having an attack killer fluff. He calmly pulled out a cell phone from his little black handbag that Ianto didn't even know the little shit had and rang his father.

"DADDY! FLUFFS!" Hawk screamed into the phone, then turned it to wave over the kittens so fast that if he did have it on face-time like Ianto suspected, Jack was seeing nothing but flashes of black and white. Then Hawk calmed down and held out the phone to show the black kitten, then swing the phone back. Holy shit. Jack was on the screen blinking as Hawk gushed. The little shit DID know how to face-time.

Babs.

She must have given him that phone and showed him … little cow!

"Where is Taddy Citizen, Captain Kitty Hawk?" Jack's voice pulled Ianto out of his temper and he reached for the phone sighing as he saw the look he knew so well. Baby gets what baby wants. "Tiger? It's just one right? No the whole litter…ah…"

"Clowder" Hawk helped. "Just one…. For now."

Ianto looked from the phone to the child who was already picking up the kitten as he knew dammed well that he would get it one away or anther and he cuddled it as he looked at the woman who was still sitting by the basket of them, asking her "How much my good woman? Alfred here will pay!"

"Afl… did you hear that?" Ianto spluttered and Jack laughed on the other end of the phone.

"Come along my good man. My gold coins for me services should cover this"! Hawk said, still in the deep little voice of a superhero as people awwwed at him and Ianto could only shrug and ask politely for a receipt.

And that is how Captain Kitty Hawk found Fang the Fierce.

A little fluffy Persian cat… That apparently could not walk on a leash or anything so degrading and had to fit into the open handbag slung over Hawk's arm.

Ianto sighed and followed his bodyguard some more.
