I don't own any X-Men Evolution characters or GI Joe ones. My recent trip to Epcot inspired this latest fic. I saw this 3-D film called 'Honey I Shrunk the Audience' and it was awesome! I think you know where I'm going with this.
Guys I Shrunk the Adults
Chapter One: A Little Invention
"This has got to be my best invention ever!" Forge grinned.
"You keep saying that and it never turns out that way," Sam told him. He and Tabitha were in Forge's lab.
"Hey there's always a first time," Tabitha shrugged. "So Forge what's this one do?"
"Watch!" Forge held the hand held strange looking ray gun and pointed it at some equipment. He turned it on and with a whir a blue beam hit it, shrinking the stuff to no more than three inches tall. "Presenting my shrink ray!"
"Wow! That is cool!" Tabitha said.
"Yeah now I have twice as much room to store all my inventions!" Forge grinned. "Think of all the possibilities we could do with this!"
"I am," Sam groaned. "That's what I'm worried about."
"Oh don't be such a gloomy Gus Sammy!" Tabitha took Forge by the arm. "We gotta show the Professor this! Come on!"
"I got a bad feeling about this," Sam sighed as he shook his head and followed them.
They went up to the Professor's office where they saw Ororo entering with some papers. "Hey Storm! Storm!" Tabitha called out. "Forge just invented the coolest thing! You gotta see it! Is the Prof. in there?"
"Yes but I'm afraid this is not a good time," Ororo sighed. "The Professor is in a meeting."
"That's okay, this will only take a second," Tabitha grabbed Forge's arm and brushed past her.
"Tabitha!" Ororo shouted. But it was too late. Tabitha, Sam and Forge walked in and saw the Professor at his desk next to a man with glasses who had a strange resemblance to Rick Moranis. In the room as well were Logan, Warren, John, and Hank.
"Mr. Xavier I can understand the deductions for lasers and knock out gas," The man said. "But this deduction is a bit hard to believe. Do you really go through so many fire extinguishers in a year?"
"Mr. Small, some of my students have a slight tendency to lose control of their powers," Xavier tried to explain.
"Not to mention some of the instructors," Hank glared at John.
"If you're still miffed about me about using those stupid textbooks for target practice…" John glared at him. He stopped and looked at the kids. "What's going on?"
"Sorry Charles they just barged in," Ororo sighed.
"We came to show you Forge's latest invention," Sam said. "What's going on? Who's this guy?"
"Wayne Small, Internal Revenue Service," The man in the glasses waved.
"The IRS?" Forge asked.
"I'm being audited…" Xavier sighed.
"Gee I wonder why," Tabitha asked sarcastically.
"Look my superiors found an alarming number of strange deductions on his tax form and they sent me to get to the bottom of this," Mr. Small moaned. "I didn't ask for this assignment and I don't hate anybody so please don't try to chop me up into little pieces like that guy here!" He pointed at Logan.
"Hey I said I was sorry I overreacted," Logan began.
"I'm only doing my job here!" Mr. Small whined. "Why do people hate the IRS? We don't write the tax laws! It's those guys in Congress and the Senate that do that. All we do is collect money to keep the country running. But does anyone understand that? Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
"Okay! Okay! Calm down!" Logan groaned.
"You think mutants have a bad reputation you should try being an IRS agent," Mr. Small kept going. "I know what it's like to have people throw rocks at you every day! We're people too you know!"
"Perhaps we should take a break for a few minutes," Hank sighed. "Forge you wanted to show us something?"
"Yeah it's my latest invention," Forge turned it on. "Watch this you see…" It began to sputter. "Uh oh…that shouldn't be doing that…"
"Uh Tabitha something tells me we should leave the room now," Sam gulped as he took her by the arm.
"Forge what exactly is that contraption supposed to do?" Warren asked.
"I think we're about to find out the hard way," Hank gulped as it sputtered.
"Oh man somehow the system got overloaded!" Forge tried to hold the machine steady. "I can't control it!"
"RUN!" Sam grabbed Tabitha and flew out of the room through the door as fast as he could.
"SAAAAAAAMMMMY!" Tabitha screamed.
They flew by Scott and Kitty in the hall just as Forge's machine went off. "What the…?" Scott gasped. He heard an explosion just as Sam crashed into the wall. "Cannonball! How many times have I told you not to fly around in the house?"
"Are you guys okay?" Kitty asked as they ran up to them.
"Oh yeah…" Tabitha said in a dazed voice. "Wow, what a ride…"
"I'm okay," Sam groaned. "I took most of the hit to the wall!"
"Great just what we need," Scott snapped as he looked at the damage. "Another hole!"
"It's not all his fault," Tabitha wobbled to her feet with help from Kitty. "Forge was trying to show the Professor his new invention and it kind of went off…"
"Forge…" Kitty blinked.
"Invention?" Scott looked at them.
"Went off?" Scott and Kitty shouted at the same time.
"Yeah we had to get out of the way before…" Sam began before he was interrupted by a loud scream.
"That came from the Professor's study," Kitty said.
"Yeah that's where Forge is with his invention," Tabitha told her. "And the adults including this IRS agent. Hey did you know the Professor was being audited?"
"Oh no!" Scott groaned as he and the others ran back to the study. "FORGE! WHAT HAPPENED?" He looked around and saw only Forge standing there in the room. "WHERE'S THE PROFESSOR?"
"Oops," Forge gulped.
"Oops?" Scott snapped. "What do you mean oops? Forge what did you do? Where are they?"
"DOWN HERE SCOTT!" A small squeak could be heard. They looked down and couldn't believe what they saw.
"Oh no…" Scott gulped. "You didn't…"
"Whoa…" Tabitha blinked.
"You're really in for it now Forge," Kitty said.
"YOU BET HE'S IN FOR IT!" A miniature Logan screamed and flashed his claws. In fact all the adults in the room were now only three inches tall.
"I never should have come here!" Mr. Small moaned.
"I know just how you feel buddy," Warren groaned.
Next: Little problems, big fun! Hahahhahahaha!
