Fanfic for Spring Challenge

Title: Lost Pet

Written for Spring Challenge prompt: "Lost puppy/ or kitten rabbit whatever cute cuddly animal floats your boat." Though, uhm... maybe cute and cuddly isn't exactly the right word.


"I can't believe we're doing this," Tony muttered as he got down on all fours to peek under the sofa.

"We're Avengers," Steve said staunchly. "We do what needs to be done." He pulled the TV stand away from the wall and poked at the tangle of wires behind it.

"Yes, but does this actually need to be done?" Tony scooted toward the coffee table. Nope, not there either. "Can't we just let the damn thing stay lost?"

"Tony--"

"I mean, it's one thing for you to go around rescuing kittens from trees all the time--"

"It was only that one kitten that one time. Anyhow, just because Chauncey isn't cute and fluffy doesn't make him any less of a pet."

"Chauncey?" Tony sat back on his heels and stared up at Steve with a stupefied expression. "You know its name?"

"Hank told me. He's very upset, by the way."

"Oh, come on." Tony rolled his eyes. "He's got ten thousand more."

"That's not the point."

"No? What's the point, then?"

"The point is, do you want to wake up in the night with that thing crawling up your leg?"

"Good point." Tony looked under the sofa again.

HAHAHA, AWESOME. Poor Hank! We love your pets, even if they do freak us out.
And: "It was only one kitten! It doesn't indicate a pattern of kitten-rescuing!" Suuuuure, Steve.

"Steve, did you fill the Jacuzzi with baby ducks again?"
"But Tony, they need our help. It's the right thing to do."
"Why does doing the right thing always end up with me taking showers in the lab?"

I laughed so hard. *grins* Just the idea of Steve and Tony searching for Hank's lost ant. :-D :-D :-D

Oh, they absolutely would. They're good friends, and Hank really would be crazy worried for his ant. He's incredibly cute that way sometimes. *g*

MA Hank is definitely made of adorable. *g* MA:Avengers Hank actually seems to be different from MA:Super Heroes Hank, but they are both impossibly cute--and the ants are a big part of that. The ants singing to Hank to cheer him up in MA:Super Heroes just about killed me with the adorable. :-D

You wouldn't happen to have a copy of that lying around the internets would you? That does sound crazy adorable; Hank being serenaded by his anst.

Ask and you shall receive. *grins*

I'm 90% sure that's the right issue, but let me know if you open it and it isn't about Hank. :-)

That's it! And aww, isn't that so sweet of them to give him their princess... *snicker*

"The point is, do you want to wake up in the night with that thing crawling up your leg?"

Couldn't Hank put on his ant hat and tell Chauncey to come the hell back to the lab?

I kid. :D This was cute.

But then he would lose the free entertainment of watching his teammates tear the house apart in search of a pet too small for them to properly see or catch.

Listen to Steve, Tony. *shudder*

This is great! I love pithy little bits of cute. Except now I'm thinking of a million different inconvenient places Chauncey could hide. Like inside the armor, and Tony only discovers it AFTER he's set out to fight the villain of the day.

Hey, I'm sure that Hank thinks that Chauncey is very cute and cuddly. :) Steve rescuing kittens, Hank naming ants, Tony being Tony--wonderful.

Loved it. And that ant is totally freaky. Find it, Steve! XD

*hugs Hank* Of course his ants have names.

That's not the point."

"No? What's the point, then?"

"The point is, do you want to wake up in the night with that thing crawling up your leg?"

"Good point." Tony looked under the sofa again.


I started smiling at the kitten-rescuing banter, but this bit, with the reveal that the "pet" they're looking for is *one of Hank's ants* made me grin like a loon. (And I wouldn't want to make up with 'Chauncey' crawing on me, either).

It can be hard to live with Hank at times!

Very cute fic, loved it.
