Tim looked down at the pleading eyes of the small, furry creature on his desk.
"Don't you pout at me. It's only 24 hours, and besides, this is your own fault. You should have known better than to slap Jaime's girlfriend on the butt - and don't think we're not going to talk about that when you're human again - considering that she's an incredibly powerful sorceress. You're lucky this is all she did."
The ferret cocked its head at Tim, and Tim had to admit that Kon made an awfully cute small mammal. He gently skritched the little creature behind the ears, and Kon made a soft, pleased sound.
"Master Timothy, can I get you any - Good lord! Is that some kind of wild animal in the house?"
Tim turned around to see Alfred, who looked like he might pass out at any second. "Don't worry, Alfred. It's just...a pet."
"And does Master Bruce know about this pet?"
"No. Look, Alfred...I'll level with you. It's not a pet. It's Kon. He pissed off a teenage sorceress, and she turned him into a ferret for 24 hours. So I've got to keep him safe until then. Although - "
"My word. Is that ferret hovering?"
Tim rolled his eyes. "Yeah. Apparently it's still a Kryptonian ferret. Lucky me, huh?"
Alfred blinked a few times, then walked out of the room without another word. This usually happened when he met a situation he just did not want to deal with. Tim had a feeling the case of the flying ferret would never be mentioned again. He stood up and stared at the hovering Kon!Ferret.
"Come on, boyfriend. Don't make this too hard. Having me pet you all night...there could be worse things, right?"
The ferret seemed to nod for a second, then calmly drifted down and landed in Tim's lap as he sat down.
"But no trying to crawl up my pants again, okay? That was just awkward for all concerned."
The ferret seemed to smirk as it drifted back to sleep on Tim's lap. Visits to Titans Tower always lead to the wierdest things happening.
