Brief Introduction: Tony Stark's body was accidentally turned into a 5-year-old boy during an experiment, but his mind was still an adult. Everyone was so fond of him.

Claims: Again, I do not own any of the characters appeared in this fanfic and I did not create them, all I did was to translate the work of 開皇人 from Chinese to English. All the applause and credits go to the original author 開皇人.

1.

Actually Steve realized it very very very very very late that no matter what peculiar situation they were in, like facing weird outer-space insects, freakish aliens, odd psychics or problems created by their own very member, they should always stay calm. Because if you and your friends formed an organization named the Avengers, and you were kinda related with the what-the-hell Supreme Headache International Eccentric Law-Enforcement Division, SHIELD in short, then it wouldn't be good to your health being so nervy about everything.

But when there was weird noise of electric wave coming from Banner's lab on the 10th floor and led to an explosion, Steve wasn't so sure about the 'being-calm' stuff. He immediately called for Black Widow, Hawkeyes and Thor, wearing the uniform and bringing the shield, heading to Banner's lab carefully but quickly. He had imagined every possibility, for example Loki's purpose to the earth was to bomb the lab, another freakish aliens attack, or some psychics had a row and fought with Banner in the lab, which the perfect solution was, Banner turning into Hulk.

Standing outside the lab with strange golden glowing light, Steve was wondering whether that was some kind of better-not-to-be-touched emitted rays and would the ray turn the gamma-ray-exposed green Bruce Banner into golden green, like the color of a scarab.

He didn't come out with a conclusion before the golden light faded and Banner's cough was heard from inside the lab.

"Bruce? Are you alright?" Steve raised his voice, at the same time interrupted Hawkeyes who wanted to enter the lab.

"Oh, oh, I'm okay…" Banner stopped coughing, and shouted in shock: "NOITHINKIAMNOTOKAY!"

"Bruce!" heard the anxious voice of his teammate, Steve put down his hand which was in Hawkeyes' way. Hawkeyes ran inside, Black Widow followed. Thor walked slowly with his Mjolnor upheld.

But Hawkeyes burst into laugh after entering for three seconds, Thor did the same. When Steve stepped inside of the dilapidated lab, Banner was busy wiping his eyeglasses and Hawkeyes was pointing at a little boy, wearing an over-sized vest and stepping on long trousers, laughing crazily. Black Widow simply shrugged when she saw Steve. Thor was laughing like a kid with a brand new toy.

"I didn't know earthlings could change their body size as they like!" said Thor.

"Apparently, we can't, muscle brain, so this is an accident, understood? Or you don't know what's meant by an accident?" the boy with brown hair with arm akimbo, was standing proudly. His head upheld at a 45 degree angle, trying to look like he was sneering. Due to his height, under 100 cm by guess, it was very difficult for him to sneer at a demigod from Asgard.

"Hahaha accident! Hey Tony! You look tiny! Did you look exactly this way when you were five?" Hawkeyes was still laughing. No one could have possibly known how could he talk while he was laughing insanely.

"Oh I think no matter how old am I, I have a way better brain than SHIELD's Birdeyes agent. Do you need a little transformation for your arrows, dear Barton?" the little boy replied sarcastically, but Hawkeyes wasn't threatened, he just kept laughing.

"…so this is Tony?" Steve put down his shield, looking at the boy with a surprised look. 'Hmm, he looks tiny, around five, with curly brown hair, a lighter color hair when compared with Tony's, but it's long. He has no moustache…yeah, a five-year-old doesn't have moustache,' thought Steve.

"Yes, there seems to be some problems with our experiment…" Banner walked to Steve and stood beside him. He rubbed his temple tiredly and paused, hesitated and asked: "To the conclusion directly, Captain?"

"…it doesn't look urgent at all, explain as you like," Steve watched as Hawkeyes threw Tony into the air then caught him again, what Hawkeyes received was non-stop and smooth swearing. Hawkeyes ignored it and continued his little game with Tony. Steve, on one hand listening to some complicated and he would never understand high-tech biological explanation, on the other hand considered stopping Hawkeyes, 'What if he misses? The Iron Man suit doesn't have a mini size.'

"So, this condition won't last long, one week at most," Banner concluded, and added: "Oh I wasn't affected due to Hulk, sometimes a curse turns into a lucky charm."

"No matter it's a curse or a lucky charm, we face it, then we need to fix it," Steve shrugged. 'Now we know that kid's really Tony Stark, and the condition lasts for a week, then besides the reconstruction of the lab, it's important to stop Hawkeyes from bullying Tony.'

So when Steve left the lab, he had gotten a Tony Stark clinging to him like an octopus.

"Jarvis?" Steve didn't even need to carry him with his arms, because little Tony was using his four limps, clinging to Captain America's chest like a monkey.

"What can I do for you, Captain?" a kind but monotone voice with British accent replied instantly.

"Can you find me some clothes for a five-year-old boy?" asked Steve. As little Tony was only wearing a vest, no difference from wearing nothing, he thought he should dress Tony with clothes which could keep him warm. After all, cool and room temperature to an adult might actually be cold and uncomfortable to a kid.

"I will order from a children's clothes boutique now. It takes around half to one hour for the clothes to arrive. There is a traffic jam in Manhattan," said Jarvis.

"Thank you. We'll need at least seven," Steve nodded.

"I wanna go back to my studio," Tony, still clinging to Steve, said sadly.

"You can't reach to worktable now," Steve replied.

"I can help, Stark, the technology on earth is so fun! What's the rationale behind your flying screens?" Thor approached, obviously interested.

"NO! I don't need anyone's help. I have Dummy, I have Jarvis. I can make a suit for a five-year-old and wrap myself in even without a pant!" Tony held Steve tighter.

"You'll have clothes to wear within half an hour," Steve tapped Tony's back gently, with a hint of comfort: "Bruce said you'll recover in a week's time."

"But criminals aren't taking holiday for a week!"

"We can cope with them, Iron man. That's better than you running out all alone and the press reporting something like the Avenger's involved in child abuse or Tony Stark's son's also Iron Man," Hawkeyes tried his best to stop laughing, but he just couldn't help it in the end, so Tony glared at him, though useless. Hawkeyes didn't stop until Natasha showed everyone how to take down a strong adult man.

"Tony, maybe we can start with a body check," Banner walked towards Steve, his eyes were burning with fanaticism: "X-ray scanning, build a file… do you have any information about your body structure when you were five? I think I need to cross-compare them and we can discuss it together. Maybe that ray could be utilized after modified, maybe we can name it."

"It sounds like a great idea, I'll need it, but the information 'bout when I was five, no I don't have it, we can just use average values," Tony mumbled and lifted his arms from Steve's neck then turned to Banner.

But obviously Banner wasn't willing to be in touch with little Tony, he stepped two steps backward and rubbed his hands anxiously.

"I don't want to hurt you Tony. I think holding hands will be a better choice," Banner said doubtfully.

"Oh, no, I'm just a kid now. Walking is exhausting, I might die of it," Tony said rightfully and confidently, he wrapped Steve's neck with his arms again.

"…Captain?" Banner gave a requesting look to Steve: "Can you please…?"

"Do you really want to work under such a situation? Jarvis, how long has it been since these two last slept?" Steve frowned. Banner rubbed his hands, like a student caught playing truant by his teacher.

"23 hours and 15 minutes, Captain," Jarvis replied.

"Almost a day," Steve said doubtfully.

"It's just a little check."

"Jarvis, please deliver the clothes to the lab," Steve wouldn't believe them. The 'little experiments' or 'wait a minute' of these two scientists were never trustworthy, but maybe Tony really need a body check right now. He sighed and turned around: "So here we go, Bruce."

Banner nodded enthusiastically and led Steve to the undestroyed part of the lab.

All the Avengers followed.
