Hello! I replaced this chapter with a much longer and better one so it can explain more. Still same story. Enjoy!
Tony sighed. He lost count on how many times he swore to himself he would not build anything while he was drunk. He already saw the consequences. Now he had three toddlers causing havoc in his tower.
"Do not ever invent something while drunk." He repeated this to himself while he worked on removing the fried pieces of the machine and trying to calibrate it to reverse mode.
Bruce was working on the codes in the computer. "So, what made you invent this thing? Or at least, what were you thinking of while you were drunk?"
Tony shrugged. "I don't know, I guess I was just thinking about my own childhood or something. I'm not sure." He turned a few bolts here and there, grabbed a screwdriver from Dummy, calibrated over there…
"I see." Was the only thing Bruce said.
"Done! Now all we need is to wait for you to write down the reverse codes and everything will back to normal." Tony looked at his watch. "Well, it's almost lunch time."
"Why do you care? You never get out of this lab to get a decent meal."
"Well, Pepper was going to arrive early today and I have lots of explaining to do."
Bruce sighed. "Alright, just let me finish writing this code. They should be turned into their normal sizes by midnight."
"What do you mean?"
"Once we hit them with the beam, it will take a few hours for them to transform and be as good as new."
"And then we have to deal with three pissed off Avengers."
"No, Tony, YOU are dealing with three pissed off Avengers."
OOO
"You what? You WHAT!?" Pepper yelled at Tony.
Tony laughed nervously. "You know, you could calm down."
Pepper took a deep breath and looked at Tony. "You have done many stupid things in your life, Tony, but this is ridiculous!"
"Would you just let me show you?"
Pepper sighed and nodded. Tony led her into the main room. The rest of the Avengers were sitting on the couches wondering why their lives were so miserable. Steve was sitting in between Sam and Thor, panting. Natasha had an ice pack on her nose and Clint had one on his forehead. In the middle of the room, where there was supposed to be a table, was a corral with a blanket in the middle and inside there were three toddlers: Vision, Pietro and Wanda.
Vision was playing with some wooden blocks, Pietro was sleeping in a weird position and Wanda was watching Barney on TV. These were three Avengers that Pepper spoke to just yesterday. And especially to Wanda about certain android…
Pepper glared at Tony. He chuckled. "I told you, but you wouldn't believe me."
"Turn them back."
"I'm trying."
"And no more alcohol for you for a month."
Natasha turned her head towards Tony. "You should spank him. He's been a bad boy."
Pepper keep glaring at Tony. "Oh, I'll do much more than that. FRIDAY?"
"Yes, Miss Potts?"
"Tony is not allowed to use his Iron Man suit for a week."
"Understood, Miss Potts."
"WHAT!? Pepper! Don't do this to me!"
"It's already done."
"Pepper…" Tony whined.
Pepper scoffed. "If you keep whining, I'll put you in the corral with the toddlers and make you watch Barney all day long."
"I'll be good."
"That's better."
Suddenly, there was cry coming from the corral and everyone turned their attention towards the toddlers. Wanda and Pietro were just fighting for the best spot to watch TV and Vision grabbed a wooden block and put it on his mouth.
"Are you kidding me?" Tony said. "Wanda! Pietro! Stop that! Vision, stop chewing on those things!" Tony face palmed. "First the cape and now the blocks. "Did someone got a pacifier for Vision?"
Steve started to look through the shopping bags. He found the item and threw it to Tony. Tony caught it, unwrapped it from the package and put it on Vision. He just started to chew on it.
Tony turned to look at the team. "I know, I know. I'm working on the damn machine. But we all need a plan B."
"A plan B for what?" Natasha asked.
"In case I can't fix the machine and they have to stay like forever." Tony said casually, but after catching Natasha's murderous gaze, he quickly added: "I mean, I will! It was just in case!" He waved his hands in despair.
Natasha nodded. Tony rolled his eyes. "Why do you hate me?"
"I don't actually. It's just that you are a pain in the ass."
Tony waved a finger towards her. "Language, Natasha! We have children in the room."
"Including you, right?" Rhodey asked.
"Exactly- Hey!" Tony glared at him. Rhodey chuckled along with Steve and Sam. The chuckling stopped when they all looked pass Tony. Tony raised an eyebrow. "What?" He turned around and found…
…the toddlers were gone.
