The art of hunting

"MOUSE!" Pepper practically screeched as she saw the little brown mouse run across the floor of the room. After the battle in New York against Loki, Stark Tower was undergoing a fair few repairs since the Hulk had decided to throw Loki around, leaving Loki-shape indents in the floor. This meant that a few areas of the tower were exposed and therefore led to small opportunistic rodents taking up residence in the tower.

Tony looked at Pepper with a look that said "What am I meant to do?" then returned to his previous curled up position.

"Tony, for goodness sake! Do something!" she shrieked, trying to perch on the edge of the couch, as far away from the small brown rodent as possible "You're a tiger cub! Chase it or something!" Tony just looked at her and then the mouse and curled up again.

"ANTHONY STARK!"

That got his attention. He knew he'd be in trouble if he didn't at least try and do something about the resident and so reluctantly got up and went on the prowl, searching for the mouse as Pepper remained in her current curled up position.

Tony had seen cats hunting on numerous wildlife documentaries and so had a rough idea of how a cat hunts of course when you have a blue glowing circle in your chest it's not as easy as it should be. I should make an arc that doesn't glow… And a stealth suit…I could use retro-reflective panels…Wrong time Stark, focus on that darn mouse.

He slowly crept up on the small rodent, making sure that his arc was obscured by something so that the glow wouldn't give him away, making sure he was as low to the ground as he could get. This is how they do it, right? Slowly creeping forward, almost shuffling along on his stomach until he was close enough to the sitting rodent, his tail twitching slightly. With a great leap, he pounced on to the mouse, catching it in his paws and holding it on the ground. Of course, he'd never use to pay much attention to the wildlife documentaries, partly because he had distractions and partly because he would find something better to watch on the giant flat screen. He stared down at the rodent with absolutely no clue as to what he should do next with the mouse now that he had captured it.

"Get rid of it!" Pepper yelled at him, having watched the whole scene between the mouse and the cub. Not having any idea what to do, he took the mouse, holding its tail in his mouth, and went over to one of the workmen who was currently bending down and clearing some rubble on the ground. Knowing that he couldn't exactly ask the man to take the mouse and dispose of hit, he padded over to the workman's bag and dropped the mouse in before tugging at the zip and closing it then sprinting to the safety of the couch before he noticed and decided he should go else where when he saw Pepper's disapproving look, sprinting as fast as he could towards their bedroom with Pepper in pursuit.
