Oh, and a funny quote about cats, "In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this." ~ Terry Pratchett


 
   Tony was a tired kitten, he had been unable to sleep after Steve's unconscious confession. Did he really mean that? He could have meant that he loved me like a friend, or a brother, but he said he was IN love with me. Fuck, I need to talk to him about this. I can't without Extremis, and he doesn't have a computer. If I try to talk to him about this at the tower there will be other people around, so that's out of the question. I really hope he meant it, nut why would he be in love with me? There have got to be hundreds of people out there better for him than me, I'm so... flawed. Tony really had no clue how he was going to confront Steve, but he knew he had to know if it was true. They say curiosity killed the cat, and I know wondering about this will drive me insane. On the other hand, satisfaction brought it back, so I should talk to him, eventually.

    Tony fell asleep in Steve's arms again when they were in the elevator at Stark Tower. He had tried to nap on the way there, but being a kitten on a motorcycle was not the most restful of experiences. Steve had said that Nick Fury had contacted some people regarding his problem, so he was going to be poked and prodded at all afternoon. How exciting, was his response when Steve had told him.

    He was glad to find that Hank Pym was in charge of the biological side. He was even happier to find out that Reed Richards was investigating Doom's lab to see if he could find out what had changed him, and how to reverse the process. He needed to turn back, so that Steve would stop worrying, and so he could get back to his normal life. Or maybe an upgraded version of my normal life, if Steve meant what he said. Tony was vexed with his current position. Why couldn't Steve have a computer. Maybe I could use my armor somehow... No, because that would also attract unwanted attention. Tony would have given anything at that moment to be able to properly communicate with Steve in private.

    After a few hours of being tested by Hank, Tony was fed up and exhausted. He just wanted to curl up and go to sleep, preferably on Steve's pillow. Fortunately Steve picked up on this and started to save Tony"Look, you've been at this for hours, and there isn't much more you can test, is there? Maybe I should just-" when he was interrupted by Reed who burst into the room saying "I've figured it out! I know how to fix it!" Then Reed looked at Tony and said, "Tony makes a good cat, the machine works well"

    Startled, Steve asked "what do you mean it works well?" Reed responded with "the machine turns you into an animal that is most compatible with your personality, so if you had been changed you might have turned into something different. Maybe you would have been something like a golden retriever... The machine takes a DNA sample to test for genetic personality traits then matches them up with the most relevant species. Of course other variables can be added manually... The mechanism it uses to alter a humans genetic structure is really-" "How long will it take to fix Tony?" Steve cut him off, not wanting Reed to get sidetracked. "I can reverse the transformation in a few minutes at Doom's lab. The machine is simple to use, but the way it works..." Reed continued to talk about the machine, and Hank at least seemed interested. Steve really couldn't care less, and had stopped listening. a=ll he wanted was for Tony to be Tony again.
   
    Steve had to restrain himself from running to the nearest jet. He carefully picked Tony up, who snuggled into his chest, and said "Lets go."

Yes! I love that is how the device works. A kitten making device specifically would have just been a bit more diabolical than a genetic transmogrifier.

<3 Great work, go kitten Tony confess you love of Steve!

The real questin, I think, is "Why would Doom make a kitten machine?" Unless maybe he's got a secret fondness for cats...

Doom has build a kitten-machine?

I know it´s more complicated than that, but the idea seems so great to me^^

Woah. The idea of Kitten!Tony is really cute. But I'm a little scared by this line:

"Maybe you would have been something like a golden retriever..."

Because I'm currently writing a fic where Steve is turned into a Golden Retriever. Huh. *stares at monitor some more*

*grins* I'm torn between glee at Tony getting turned back into a human to "have a conversation with Steve," and sorrow that the adorable kitten content will be drawing to a clse soon.
