MHA #4; Late Tuesday Morning [07/25].

At this point, every return back to the apartment without incident after going somewhere that koala-Stark very clingingly insisted on going with Summer felt like a close call, and she returned to her apartment (gold-stickered koala in arms, of course) with a sigh of relief. But at least Summer could reassure herself that at least when it came to the gym, it was hopefully more about Stark just not wanting to let being a koala break up his sticker-streak than anything else. Like, Summer (with her own gold star magically managing to remain on her cheek even after her workout) got it, breaking the streak had to be a major bummer.

Besides, she had to admit, even if she was holding her breath practically the whole time he engaged in anything that might wind up being a comically terrible moment for him to change back, a koala trying to find good ways to sort-of work out was kind of adorable? She had some great potential fodder for her Insta and tumblr (lol, but, you know, with Twitter going the way it was....) for when Stark turned back and gave her the okay, and now? She was just glad she didn't have to run damage control on a mid-chin-up transformation for the whole gym to see, and could focus on prying herself free from a koala long enough to feed the cat, hit the shower, and then whip up some lunch.

"That sounds like another very good idea."

It seemed a bit odd to be holding the pants in front of himself at this point but it also seemed odd to drop them.

"Holding on to you as a koala just isn't the same."

Would it help it to feel less odd to know that Summer wasn't paying any attention to the pants whatsoever at the moment, her attention entirely on Stark as she stepped in closer, sliding her arms up to drape over his shoulders?

"I am so glad you're not a koala right now."

But, hey, this would be one helluva time for her to go squirrel, wouldn't it?

Well, now seemed like a good time to just drop the pants so they weren't in the way. He needed both hands to pull Summer in anyway.

"So am I," he said in a low voice. "I like being me-shaped. Even if koala-me gets to be close to you. This is much better."
