Territory
Having fully enjoyed bath time, Tony the tiger cub was now curled up on Pepper's lap as she lightly scratched behind his ears making him melt further into her lap. It had been a log, somewhat confusing day for them both. Pepper had returned to New York only to find that Tony had been turned into a tiger then proceeded to soak her by splashing around in the bath. The night was more relaxed though. That is until Jarvis announced that someone was at the door to which Pepper and Tony just looked at each other unsure what would happen. Tony was expecting Rhodes to be at the door and then to laugh at his current state and find new ways to make fun of him at a later date so simply tried to hide under a pillow but the person at the door wasn't Rhodey. It was a SHIELD agent who had come to debrief Tony on the events with Loki and the destruction of most of New York. Pepper was in the middle of telling the agent that Tony was currently asleep and that he shouldn't be disturbed because he needed the rest when a little growl could be heard coming from the couch and all that could be seen was a little orange and black tail flicking from side to side.
"Oh...I didn't know that Mr Stark had a cat…"
Pepper rolled her eyes upon seeing Tony's failed attempt at hiding "Yes… We got the cat very recently…"
While the conversation continued, Tony poked his head out from under the pillow and watched Pepper talking with the agent then almost started growling as the man gently touched Pepper's arm to comfort her. That's my job slime ball! Get away from my girl! He thought, completely forgetting that in his current state that was rather difficult to do apart from jumping into her lap and rubbing his fury little cheek against her cheek. Jealous (although he would never admit that he was in fact extremely jealous) he leapt off the couch and bounded over to Pepper, growling at the agent who simply stared down at him, looking slightly confused. Of course, when you are the size of a small cat, it's hard to be intimidating and very, very easy to become jealous.
After the agent had left, asking Pepper to get in touch with SHIELD as soon as Tony was available, she went to the kitchen to find something for him to eat, chuckling to herself at the sudden thought of giving him tuna simply because he was currently a cat. Meanwhile, Tony was running around the whole of the penthouse, stopping every now and then to leave his sent in random places, including on the couch, until he reached the kitchen and without thinking tried to leave his sent on Pepper. "TONY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" she looked down at Tony who was currently sent marking a small corner of the bar "Oh my God, are you marking your territory?! Tony that's disgusting! And absolutely pointless!"
It is absolutely necessary! Have you seen the size of me?! Not exactly big and scary!
Pepper wiped off her leg and glared at him "Was it really necessary to mark me as your territory?! Tony, the whole world knows about us because you can't keep a secret!"
I have poor impulse control! You should know that!
She sighed and lifted him up, looking him in the eyes "No more marking your territory or I will get you neutered or something" she tried to keep a straight face as he tried to cross his legs "Now. Are you going to behave while I go have a shower? And before you even think about it, no you can't join me" she smirked slightly as the cub nodded and she put him on the ground again, putting the plate of tuna on the floor for him "Be a good cub and eat your dinner"
