In another world the Avengers are all born several years after they were supposed to, yet they were still saddled with the same responsibilities.

Or the story of a 12 year old Tony escaping from months of torture in a cave to face his destiny as Iron Man, a little sickly 12 year old boy from Brooklyn gets taken in by the army to be experimented on and becomes a national icon having to guide his best friend - among other - through a war, a little girl turned a spy redeeming herself, a little boy with a penchant for arrows who got himself a spot in an international spy organization, a genius boy having a deadly experiment blow up in his face and surviving with devastating consequences, a prince of another realm trying to live up to expectations, another prince trying to live with the lack of expectations of him and a terrible truth. And many more stories of children faced with the burden of the safety of the world coming to rest on their shoulders despite their young age and somewhat coping - and then learning to cope as a family.

So, I've been working in this story for months and its all written down up until Doctor Strange. I'm waiting till I see Infinity War before I continue cause of various plot points that I'm afraid will stop making sense if I'm not aware of all that's gonna happen there.
Good news is I have so many chapters already written that you'll still be seeing new chapters by the time Infinity War comes out.
Bad news is I'm entering third year at uni this year and I'm aiming to get the yellow belt in Aikido this year so there might be times where I disappear. Nothing I can do about it really.
So, updating schedule: I plan on updating this every Thursday. I previously planned on doing this every Friday or maybe Wednesday, but I have my Aikido classes on those days. I also considered doing this on Saturdays, but I often end up doing other shit those days, mostly uni projects, classes of whatever or simply an outing since I also happen to have a social life(miracle of miracles). But I;m confident that I'll be supplying you without any interruptions(bar any serious rl stuff) with new chapters for the next 20 weeks or so.
Written words for this story are currently about 70k on computer and I have more than 10 chapters already planned out and about another 10 in the doubts.

So this story came to me one day when I was browsing Pinterest and saw images of chibi Avengers and I set myself on search of any Avengers fics where they aren't de-aged that might be good. Didn't find any that I liked all that much so I decided to take it upon myself.

Anyways, all hail the chibi-Avengers and enjoy your reading! 3

PROLOGUE

"So you're probably asking yourself, how did a bunch of teenagers become Earth's mightiest heroes? Well, it all started with me, of course, because I'm awesome!"

"Tony!"

Sigh, "Fine, fine, the rest might also be awesome and all that – not as much as me though-"

"Tony, do not make me call Pepper on you!"

"Oh my gosh, look at Steve's face!"

"Don't point Clint, its rude!"

"You're no boss of m-ack! Sorry! Sorry! Lemme go already!"

"Guuuuuuuyyyyssss! You're stealing me thunder here!"

"Man of Iron, the only one here with thunder is-"

"Oh shut it Thor, you know it's only a Midgardian expression."

"Yeah Thor, get learned."

"Clint, I swear to-"

"Can you stop it already?! You know the cameras are still rolling, do you? This is supposed to be my moment!"

"Okay, okay team, let's leave Mr. Fancypants here have his moment."

"Excuse you, Mr. Fancypants? That's a terrible nickname Rhodey. I'm disappointed, I'm deeply disappointed."

"Does the Man of Iron even have pants that are fancy? I have only ever seen him wear those blue pants full of tears."

"Those are jeans Thor, you know this, you've fucking worn them yourself!"

"Language!"

"I'll have you know that those jeans with tears are top quality, thank you very much!"

"But why do they have tears?"

"For goodness sake Thor, that's just how they are! You know this!"

"He's being obnoxious on purpose, leave him alone for a while and it'll pass."

"Look how cute his pouty face is!"

"M'n't cu't"

"What's that Thor? Stop mumbling."

"Leave him alone!"

"FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, CAN WE GET THIS THING STARTED ALREADY?!"

Cough, "Okay, back to you, camera one. So, as I was saying, all this started with me a couple years ago. I was still a little innocent boy back then- Stop giggling! Ahem, so it was a couple years ago, fine, not that many, but still, I've grown since then! I have medical evidence of this! Don't look at me like that Steve, this is serious stuff! So, let's start at the beginning of this whole new world.

You see, I was 12 when I was overseeing a weapon I had, at the time, secretly designed for Stark Industries. Back then it was a secret that I had been designing weapons for ages for the company, Stane had me believe that if somebody found out terrible things would happen. I would never be able to continue with all my projects. I was pretty stupid back then. But even if this was a well-kept secret, somebody apparently figured it out and told the Ten Rings about it, so they decided they wanted to have the duck that lays the golden eggs- what? Goose? Why the fuck is it a goose? No-stop looking at me like that Steve! And I'm sure it was a duck! Whatever, you get the gist.

So there I was, travelling the desert as a treat from my then friend and guardian, Obadiah Stane, when suddenly the world went up in flames. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I got kidnapped."
