[What does an insomniac superhero do at night? They wander off the pool house and build their own working area in the underground labs]

[redacts]

[pads out of the way, trying to peer over at whatever it is he's working on.]

[biggerstick]

[he's working on the nice alarm bracelet things for Steve. STEVE DESIGNED THEM THEY'RE PROBABLY NICE-LOOKING]

[redacts]

[hmmmmno I'm bored already.

hops off the table and starts poking around some more.]

[biggerstick]

[yah ok, back to work because whatever cat, you can continue being a cat. There's a trashcan you can knock over]

[redacts]

[KNOCKIN' OVER THAT TRASH CAN, YEAHHHHHHHHH.

where you at, rats. i can smell you.]

[biggerstick]

HEY!

[gets up to shoo him away]

Slick, help me out here will you?

[redacts]

[darts into another hole in the wall.]

[biggerstick]

Sir, I believe the cat has found a tunnel.

...

Yes. Thank you JARVIS. I figured.

[redacts]

[it's pretty quiet now.]

[biggerstick]

... well, let's hope that doesn't happen again.

[and he goes back to work while Slick picks up the trash]

[redacts]

[then suddenly: LOUD SQUEAKING OH JESUS.

then nothing.]

[biggerstick]

[SLICK IS VERY ALARMED BY THIS TURN OF EVENTS. Tony just drops his head on the table momentarily]

He's bringing in dead things, isn't he?

Most likely, sir.

[redacts]

[trots out, somehow managing to haul along a large rat.

and drops it at Tony's feet.]

[biggerstick]

...

...

... is this because I said I don't have food?

[redacts]

. . .

[biggerstick]

...

Any chance you can go back in there and clean up a little? You'd probably be saving me a rabies shot.

[redacts]

[looks like he's considering it for a moment.

then lays down on the ground. eh.]

[biggerstick]

... yeah, didn't think so.

[paragon]

[ so basements and underground labs have windows near the ceiling right.

because an eagle with a 7-foot wingspan just crashed right into yours. ]

[biggerstick]

[jumps at the noise]

WHAT THE—

...

Why. why... there's an eagle. I don't understand. I really don't.

[paragon]

[ picking himself up, feathers ruffling a bit but not seeming any the worse for wear.

and he peers inside the window with a caw, head tilting. ]

[biggerstick]

JARVIS is there actually a bald eagle on my window?

That appears to be the case, sir.

... okay.

I don't actually have a follow-up to that.

[redacts]

. . .

[meows and goes over to bat at Slick again.]

[paragon]

[ sees the cat with a twitch of his head in that direction and taps his beak against the window. ]

[biggerstick]

[looks from the eagle to the cat and back]

Where the hell did you find a bald eagle to piss off?
