You make such a good punching bag, Tony. [ said with humour ] So, what do you say to some---

[ INSERT LOUD AND GIRLY SCREAM HERE, then muffled silence ]

Oh God. What. Why am I naked? And why is Tony naked?

*And Tony is laughing, because it's just too much. And if he didn't laugh he'd have to stare and she would probably kick his ass even worse for that.*

I just... your scream...

Action Stuff

[theredreaper]

For the first five seconds after the scream, Cat just stood there with both hands clasped over her mouth and wide eyes, not sure what was worse; that she was naked, or that she'd screamed like that.

Then realisation began to creep in that she was naked. In front of Tony Stark. And with that came the blushing.

"Stop. Laughing." Cat glared, but it edged dangerously close on a pout. At least he wasn't staring. She looked around for something to cover herself with, but there wasn't exactly much in the dojo.

Tony just stood there, arms crossed over his chest with a rather amused look on his face. He was at least a gentleman enough to glance down at the floor though as Cat was obviously not comfortable with the nudity. Not that she had anything to be ashamed from what he had seen.

"Hey, I can laugh, I'm naked too," he told her. "Only I didn't scream like that."

Re: Action Stuff

Cat blinked and then blushed even more because, yeah, Tony was naked. She kept her eyes above waist level, but that didn't change the fact that Tony was handsome - and she hadn't gotten laid in four years. Not good.

"I didn't-- I didn't mean to scream." Cat narrowed her eyes. Her instant reaction of "I didn't scream" was so obviously a lie that she swallowed it down.

Tony just stood there, not saying anything for the moment as he grinned broadly and stared down at the ground, even thought it was really, really tempting to look up. Not that her regular clothes hid a lot.

"Why don't I have the car come around to the front," he said. "You can hop into the backseat and then I'll take you home."

Re: Action Stuff

[theredreaper]

"Yes, please," Cat said immediately, completely ignoring the turn her mind took at "backseat of the car".

She looked around again, searching for anything to occupy her eyes with. It wouldn't do to see Tony see the green swirling in them, even if he might not know what it meant.

"I hate curses," she muttered quietly, more to herself than to Tony.

Re: Action Stuff

[morethanasuit]

Tony concentrated on pulling the car up as close as he could to the exit of the dojo as close as he could so that Cat wouldn't have to bear everything for very long.

"You hate them?" Tony said. "I have a gorgeous, naked woman in front of me and I can't even look at her."

Re: Action Stuff

[theredreaper]

Cat brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes, looking aside when she realised that Tony was, in fact, behaving much more nicely and gentlemanly than she would have expected, so she bit down the initial sarcastic response that came to mind. "Yeah, thanks for that," she said, meaning it.

Re: Action Stuff

[morethanasuit]

Tony waved a dismissive hand at her thanks. More than the fact that she could kick his ass by the time his eyes traveled up her body Tony never took anything by a woman that wasn't offered.

"Don't worry about it," he told her. "The car is out front and ready to do. Doors up and everything. You can run as fast as possible and be inside before anyone sees so much as a white blur."

Re: Action Stuff

[theredreaper]

Cat took the time to nod at him before she started sprinting. It was a bit different to be doing it without any shoes, but that didn't slow her down much. A moment later, she sat curled up in the backseat of Tony's car - and began wondering how the car had come out front and opened his doors. Remote control?

Re: Action Stuff

[morethanasuit]

Tony took a bit more time to head to the car, making sure to grab both of their bags before heading outside and sliding into the front seat.

"I can drop you off at the roof of your place if that would be more... discreet for you."

Re: Action Stuff

[theredreaper]

"I think the main entrance would be the best." For a moment, Cat thought about asking Tony to just leave her to climb in through her window, but she'd have to smash that and anyway, it was a terribly stupid idea.

Re: Action Stuff

[morethanasuit]

"Alright," Tony said, making a gesture as if to say "it's your naked body that will be on display". The car lifted off the ground and Tony reached up to adjust the review mirror to make sure there was no chance he could get a glimpse of Cat in the backseat.

"I'll take you as close to the front door as possible."

Re: Action Stuff

[theredreaper]

Cat curled up in a corner of the backseat, her legs drawn against her body and her hair falling over her, concealing at least a little.

"Yeah, thanks."

Re: Action Stuff

[morethanasuit]

"Try not to worry about it too much," he advised her. "The more you do the more makes people want to give you a hard time about it."

Tony certainly wanted to give her a hard time about it, or at least reassure her that she had nothing to be ashamed of. He had a feeling she was more than aware of that though. Tony also doubted she would appreciate it.

"And here we are at your place," he said, pulling the car up to the front."

Re: Action Stuff

[theredreaper]

"You seem to manage just fine," Cat pointed out. "The not giving me a hard time about it, I mean."

She was surprised, actually, that he wasn't teasing her a lot more about this, wasn't making lewd remarks or staring at her. Clearly, he had more self-control than a vampire. Or maybe he just didn't want her to kick his ass again.
