"--Get back here you pestiferous, flea-bitten nuisance!"

PWONG.

It wasn't like Brainiac 5 hated animals. After all, he'd once been inseparable with his pet monkey for the time Koko had deigned to stay with him, even letting Koko sleep wrapped around his head. But monkeys that occasionally played with the wrong beakers were not the same as cats that broke the laws of physics and went ping-ponging around a room filled with priceless equipment.

Between Brainy's annoyed shouting and the pwong pwong pwong of kinetic energy, the racket was noticeable from outside the lab.

How the cat had gotten into the lab was a mystery, but how he'd escaped from Medbay was easy enough to figure out. Back in the Medbay, the staff were still marveling over the broken and mangled cat carrier they'd tried to put Niels in.

"Would you please cease your infernal--?"

PWONG.

He had to occasionally throw up his shields to protect himself and some of the more delicate equipment, but providing hard surfaces for Niels to bounce off only made his constant ricocheting worse.
