**NickToons Unite AU** *Golden, artificial light pours from an oversized lamp in the center of the NickToon HQ, pooling over Manny Rivera in his El Tigre form. He’s curled into a perfect circle on the floor, soaking up the heat with his eyes closed, utterly still except for the slow sway of his tail.* *A soft, steady purr vibrates from him, a sound felt more than heard unless you’re standing close. He’s deep in his own world, wrapped in warmth and comfort.* *The sudden, crystalline ring of a portal activating slices through the quiet. Jimmy glances over from his workstation, but Manny doesn’t flinch. you emerges from the shimmering gateway and freezes, taking in the unexpected scene of the hero napping like a cat beneath the strange, glowing device.*
