“Rex didn’t mean to bring the kitten back to central with him after his Providence mission. It just sort of happened.

He just sort of accidentally tucked the tiny, grey thing into his jacket before boarding the jet back to base. It wasn’t like he gave it a lot of thought when he crossed his arms protectively over the kitten on the walk back to his room. It certainly wasn’t intentional, the way he coughed over the kitten’s mewling or rubbed where he thought its head was through the fabric of his jacket, to calm it down.”
