Oh look an update which is not like two months after the previous chapter! Yeah I'm shocked too
Chapter 34
Running into the Tower Rosie practically fell into the lift. Hitting the button for the labs Rosie ordered J.A.R.V.I.S to get Reed to the labs. Seconds after she did the doors to the lab floor before they were even open properly Rosie was sliding out and sprinting down the corridor. Grabbing the lab coat next to the lift she shoved it on before fishing for her glasses in the pocket. Sliding them on she punched the code in for the lab she shoved her way in. Grabbing a needle and a plaster from one of the cupboards she slid to a halt she sat down on one of the stools. Grimacing she placed the needle to her arm. Squeezing her eyes closed she went to put the needle in her arm just as the doors slid open. Looking to the door a smile grew on her face as Reed walked in.
"Reed! Perfect timing!" she cried, "I need you to do it I can't!" With that she held the needle out to him. Making his way across the room he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the jag.
"What is this-" Reed started.
"Shut up just do it ok? No time I want this over with!" Rosie demanded. With questioning anymore he took the needle as Rosie looked away. As quick as he could he took the blood sample before placing the plaster on. He'd barely moved his hand way before Rosie jumped into action again. Rushing around the lab she briefly explained her idea to Reed.
An hour later everyone was down in the labs. Picking up one of the ten jags she handed it to Reed before taking one for herself. Kneeling down beside Clint she grabbed his arm proceeding to give him the jag no matter how much he squirmed whilst Reed did the same to Betty who was at the other end of the line. Slowly the pair moved their way towards the middle as Johnny and Susan handed them the jags with Ben watching holding a pile of clothes, just in case it actually worked. Once all her family had had their jags Rosie and the Fantastic Four could only look on, waiting for something to happen. Chewing her lip Rosie studied them looking for any kind of a change. Seeing the girl's anxiety Susan walked over to her putting her arm round her shoulders locking her in a supportive side hug. Looking up to the women beside her Rosie saw her smiling warmly down at her. It was then that Susan was able to pick out the fear in her eyes. Sighing she hugged the young hero tighter.
"It'll be fine don't you worry and if it doesn't work we'll just try again," Susan whispered. Rosie tried to smile but it was obviously laboured. Looking back to the toddlers in front of her she couldn't help but sight. She didn't want to have to try again. She wanted this to be over with. She wanted her family back. They were just about to give up hope when Jane let out a groan. Immediately they looked over to Jane to see her limbs slowly growing. Seconds later the same thing happened to Clint. Eyes wide Rosie caught Reeds eyes a smile on their face as the groans made their way towards the middle. It took a couple of minutes for it to speed up but when it did there was a split seconds before they were all their proper sizes. Naked. Letting out a scream Rosie covered her eyes before turning away.
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! Eeeeeewwww! My eyes! MY EYES!" she screamed.
"Right ok cover up you lot will ya?" Ben grumbled as he chucked the clothes he was carrying at the group.
"I'M GONNA NEED THERAPY!" Rosie screamed. Seeing her family naked was like something out of a nightmare and a factor to the serum she had completely forgotten about as soon as they started to grow. As they grew the toddler clothes would no longer fit them. Of course they'd planned ahead, that's why Ben had the clothes, but she'd forgotten about it and now was scared for life. Rubbing her eyes she desperately shook her head trying to shake the image that was now permanently carved into her mind out.
Keeping her back turned she didn't look back ground until she was given the all clear. Even then she waited a couple of seconds until she turned round just to be safe. Warily she looked round to see them all full clothed and the proper size. Smiling she let a sigh of relief escape her.
"Man it feels good to be back and Johnny about the nappy changing let's never speak of that again…" Clint trailed off looking to the man beside him. Johnny nodded eagerly. That was something everyone was eager to forget. Changing your friend's nappy was just weird and something you do not want to remember.
"Agreed. Although… I won't hold back from using it against you," Johnny smirked. At this Clint narrowed his eyes.
"You wouldn't," he growled. Johnny only smirked in reply as Clint prepared to threaten him. Sensing the fight brewing Natasha quickly put herself between the two. If they were anywhere else she wouldn't really care. In a lab with all the Starks' and Banner's precious equipment was probably not the best idea.
"So how did you get us back?" Tony asked looking to Reed.
"It wasn't me, it was all her," Reed nodded to Rosie. Smiling sheepishly Rosie lifted up the arms of her lab coat to show the plaster on her arm.
"Hormones," she smiled. Tony smiled before nodding approvingly.
"She's a smart kid," Reed smiled. As he said this Pepper rushed over to her daughter locked her in a hug before laying kisses all over her face. Rosie cringed at her actions but didn't make any move to get away.
"Yeah I know," Tony smiled. Feeling his hand on her shoulder Rosie looked up to see Tony staring down at her. She would have to be blind to miss the pride in his eyes. Seeing this Rosie smiled widely. It was like the ultimate approval.
Both Reed Richards and Tony Stark, two of the best scientists on the planet, called her smart.
