Finding the Truth

After getting the kids dressed, and fed the women had all gathered around the coffee table in the living room. Natasha was sitting cross-legged on the couch with Clint in her lap, snuggling her chest. Jane, Betty, and Pepper were sitting on the couch. Betty was holding a sleeping a Bruce Banner, who had reverted back to normal after calming down. Thor, Steve, and Tony were on the floor playing with a few of the toys they had managed to find in the attic along with the clothes.

"So… any ideas on how this could have happened?" Pepper asked aloud.

"The only thing I can come up with is that they ate or drank something that had something in it to turn them this way or there's some kind of magic stuff going on…" Natasha said.

"That's possible, which means it must have come from someone on Asgard." Jane said, "I bet it was the Enchantress…"

"If that was the case… then why did she not just target Thor?" Betty asked, "He's the one she wants. Why would she target the others as well…?"

"Good point." Jane replied.

"Well, what about…" Pepper started to say, but stopped when the doorbell rang.

Everyone turned to look at the door, and then looked at each other.

"Were anyone of you expecting someone?" Natasha asked.

"No…" Pepper said, as she stood up and went to answer the door.

After a bit of trouble wrestling the kids in the car and separating Johnny and Ben, the Fantastic Four and Mary Jane finally made it to the Avengers mansion. They walked up to the door, Susan holding Johnny and Mary Jane holding a sleeping Peter, with Ben and Reed walking in front of them. Susan rang the doorbell.

Pepper answered the door and stared at them for a minute, until Reed stretched himself up to her height and spoke.

"I'm guessing you are Miss Potts. My name is Reed Richards and this is Susan, Johnny, Ben, and our newly made acquaintances Mary Jane and Peter." Reed explained pointing to each person as he named them.

"Please… may we see Mr. Stark? Normally these four are adults…" Susan explained.

"I don't think we'll be able to help you much… but please, come in." Pepper said, stepping out of the way for them to enter.

"Thank you very much, Miss Potts." Reed said as he walked into the house. The others quickly followed.

Before Pepper could shut the door, Storm landed on the doorstep and looked at Pepper.

"May I come in? I have a bit of a problem…" Storm answered, gesturing to the sleeping Wolverine and Black Panther in her arms.

"Come on in. It seems like we aren't the only ones affected by whatever this is." Pepper answered, shutting the door behind Storm.

Storm looked confused until she entered the house and made it to the living room, where everyone was waiting.

"Make yourself comfortable…" Pepper said, as she returned to her seat on the couch.

Storm made her way over to an armchair and sat down there, since the love seat had been taken by Susan and Mary Jane.

~After everyone is situated~

At this point, all the kids were awake and the ones that were playing on the floor had turned to face the new comers, wanting to make sure they knew what was going on too.

"So…" Reed started. "We weren't the only ones affected by this. It seems to be only the males, though."

"That means it couldn't have been something in the air." Storm said frowning a little.

"Not necessarily." Reed said looking thoughtful.

"It could have been in the air… but only affected men." Betty answered catching on quickly.

"We haven't had any distress calls or anything from the city about men suddenly turning into three year olds…" Natasha said. "So… maybe that means it's just those men with superpowers or something different about them…"

Reed nodded his head and opened his mouth to say something else, but at that moment the door flew open and very angry looking Janet van Dyne, aka Wasp, stormed into the room, carrying a three year old looking Henry Pym, aka Ant-man/Giant-man.

"WHAT, THE HELL, HAPPENED TO MY BOYFRIEND?!" She yelled.

"Jan dear… please calm…" Hank tried to say.

"YOU GUYS HAVE FIVE SECONDS BEFORE I SET HANK DOWN AND START KICKING YOUR ASSES!" Janet yelled.

"I believe I have the answer to your question, Midgardian maiden." Sif said appearing behind her and stepping into view, holding a squirming Loki by his shirt collar. "This is your culprit."

"Put me down, wench! When my father Odin hears about this…" Loki started, before being interrupted by his brother.

"Bwother!" Thor yelled, and got up then ran over to Sif and held his hands up trying to reach Loki. "Welease him, maiden! And I shall not harm you!"

Sif raised an eyebrow, then shrugged and dropped Loki, figuring if he really was his three year old self, then he wouldn't be much trouble. Thor caught him as he fell and proceeded to cuddle him. All the others could do was stare at them.

"I have missed you bwother!" Thor exclaimed still cuddling him.

"I missed you too, bwother…" Loki said sniffling a little, happy to see a familiar face and no longer feeling alone.

"O-kay…" Janet said, then looked at Sif. "What happened? You said he was the cause of this, so you must know what is going on."

"Well. It may be my fault in part." Sif replied. "You see…" she said, then proceeded to explain everything to everyone.

~After the explanation~

Susan had dumped out the toys she had in the bag, and the children were busy playing with the toys and generally ignoring everyone else, except for Reed, Henry, and Bruce. The latter was still sitting on Betty's lap, snuggling her. The former two were still trying to puzzle out all that Sif had told them.

"So… it was a potion that did this, then?" Reed asked.

Sif nodded. "I am not exactly sure what it was, and the Enchantress has not woken up yet to give us an answer."

"Well… maybe we can reverse it. I mean… Asgardian magic isn't permanent, right? We may be able to reverse it with science…" Henry said thoughtfully.

"Yes." Jane said nodding. "Thor once told me that our science is not that different from Asgardian magic…" Jane answered.

"Then I suppose we need someone to do tests and figure out what exactly it is that happened to the men…" Storm said.

"I shall return to Asgard and find out what I can from the Enchantress when she wakes up." Sif said, before walking out of the house and disappearing.

Natasha nodded. "Alright. Well. Betty. You're good with science. Reed, you, Hank, and Janet go with Betty to the lab. Before that, get whatever samples you need from the guys, we'll hold them still if they try to squirm or run away."

The group of people she mentioned all nodded.

"Follow me gentlemen." Betty said politely sitting Bruce on the ground.

"No! Me too! I can help!" Bruce said, clinging to Betty's neck. "I know science~! Please! I wanna stay wif you Betty…"

Betty's heart melted, and she picked him back up and cuddled him. "Alright, Bruce. You can come help too."

Bruce smiled at her, then proceeded to snuggle her again, as she started walking, leading the others to the lab to get everything set up and to get the things they would need for getting samples from the kids.

A/N: So~ now everyone knows what happened. In the next chapter we get to see how the kids react to getting 'samples' taken. Out of curiosity, what do you guys think is going to happen?

Oh! Also, before I forget… how many of you would like Deadpool to show up at some point in this story? I'm a little if-y about it, because I'm not sure I can do his character justice, but I can try. For all you lovely people who have been reviewing and are following my story.
