The first time Tony took Megara with him state side, he was nervous. He was completely (nowhere near the fact) ready to leave her in T"Challa's care but his lover insisted that she was his and where he went, she would follow. He would have protested but Megara was right there staring up at him with sky blue eyes and making these sad whimpering sounds. There was no way he could leave his baby.
"Do not worry Anthony, I will be fine on my own and I am sure Megara will enjoy the change in environment." After a heart felt goodbye to his lover and a promise to see each other in a week, Tony picked up his cub and walked out out to the car. His bags had already been loaded into the car along with some of Megara's things. Tony climbed in holding his 20 something pound cub to his chest, excited he wouldn't have to part with both his lover and his baby. Being able to take Megara with him helped him feel less alone. At least he wouldn't be heading back to an empty mansion alone. Yes his bots were there and he loved them to death but they were confined to the workshop and that made the rest of the house dull in comparison.
Tony looked down at his purring baby panther. "I think you're gonna get along with the bots just fine."
"Welcome home." Tony placed Megara down in the entrance, the young cub sniffed around but always staying close to Tony. Said man wondered around the house, unpacking and trying to get Megara set up while making sure to spend time in each room so she could sniff around and get used to her new home.
"Come 'ere Megara. It's time to meet the bots." He had purposely saved the workshop for last, hoping the little adventure around the house would get her more settled. She followed him close to his heels as he went down to the shop. Friday opened the door and they wondered in. "Dum-E, U, Butterfingers, come over here." The genius decided to sat down on the floor, getting comfortable. The bots wheeled over, beeping as they went. Megara, the curios creature she is met them half way. Dum-E beeped happily, bending his claw down to inspect this new creature, U and Butterfingers hanging back a little ways. Megara reached her paw up and using the bottom of Dum-E's three 'fingers' to lever her upper body up a little higher to sniff the bot.
Tony, not sensing any danger, quickly pulled out his phone to start recording. He did it just in time too because Megara's little pink tongue stuck out to lick at Dum-E and then rubbing against his 'head' with hers.
Tony kept recording and taking pictures while the bots took turns petting Megara, who chose to walk in a circle between the three.
T'Challa was finishing up dinner when his phone beeped. Grabbing up the device he saw he had a new video message and three pictures from Tony with a text message that simply said, "I might cry."
He looked at each picture, a separate shot of Megara with each bot, then started the video.
Megara lay on her back all four legs in the air, holding onto Dum-E's claw, licking at the 'fingers' that were tickling her pudgy tummy.
T'Challa smiled down at his phone and texted Anthony. "Looks like she's getting along with her brothers and sisters just fine." ((AN: I consider U to be a girl, where Dum-E and Butterfingers are boys.))
Not thirty seconds later his phone rang. "Hello Anth-"
"Why would you say that! Now I really am going to cry!" The King smiled, listening to his lover gear up for a rant, it was going to be a long night and he wouldn't have it any other way.
