Bruce avoided S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ as much as possible; Fury's office, in particular. But he'd been called in for his expertise in nuclear physics again, and was there to discuss the details. Natasha had reassured him there would be no cages involved this time, but he wasn't entirely convinced.

Not that he wouldn't be wary even if she was telling the truth. His past experience with General Ross made dealing with any branch of the government a little difficult, to say the least. But now, as an Avenger, as a S.H.I.E.L.D. asset, he didn't have much of a choice in the matter.

All of his thoughts on the matter were completely derailed when he saw a tiny kitten on Fury's desk. He raised an eyebrow.

"Please tell me that's not Loki in cat form," he said, dryly. He wouldn't be surprised, if it was.

Fury was currently trying to salvage some paperwork said kitten had knocked off his desk when Bruce came in, dry quip and all. The Director managed to look at him over the lip of his desk, the kitten batting a pen around like it was going out of style.

"Loki didn't cause this much damage." Fury sighed, sitting up again and rubbing at the bridge of his nose. "But no, I haven't seen our demi-god trickster in a while. This is just a run-of-the-mill nuisance."

Bruce chuckled, and picked the little terror up off the desk, gently holding him in his arms. The kitten looked a little uncertain when he sniffed him...which was to be expected, considering.

But then he settled down, and started to purr. "I don't know, I think he's kind of cute," he replied. "Does he have a name?"

"No." For being a giant rage monster, Banner had a way with animals. Fury would need to keep this in mind for any future reference. For the time being, though, he simply sat back and watched. "Got any ideas?"

"What about Schrödinger?" he asked, innocently. Tony would get the reference, but Fury might not. Which might be amusing, if Tony found out. Of course, Tony finding out Fury had a kitten would be amusing enough on its own. Fury would never hear the end of it.

Fury was smarter than he let on, what with being the head of a super secret spy organization, and he gave Bruce a warped smile. "Something a little less ambiguous."

Bruce gave him a slight smile in return. "You could name it after Loki. Imagine his reaction when he finds out you've named a tiny, harmless fuzzball after him." And Thor's reaction, for that matter.

The look Fury levels toward Banner is impressive, considering the looks Fury usually levels toward people who say dumb shit in his vicinity. "I'm not naming it anything. It's not mine."
