"C'mon Tony, there's someone I want you to meet." Loki said, sticking out his hand and Tony took it, looking curiously at the door they were drawing closer to. Loki winked at Tony and pushed it over, and Tony jumped backwards as he was crushed.
"Tony!"
He tried to breathe but he couldn't as the arms wrapped around him, he grappled to open his mouth but a cluster of hair that wasn't his made its way between his molars. He choked.
"Oh my God, are you okay?" Pepper said, holding him at arms length- taking him out of the bone crushing hug.
"Y-yeah." Tony gasped. Then he looked at Loki, confused.
"I wanted you to see something." Tony watched on in horror, mixed with a burning curiosity as Loki touched Peppers shoulder. Tony lost all the curiosity however as he watched Pepper change, Loki chuckling slightly.
"What're you doing?!" He yelled, running forward and hammering hard on Loki's leg. Loki frowned slightly. "Stop it! What're you doing?! Leave her alone!"
Tony carried on punching Loki's knee as Pepper fell to the ground. Tony couldn't see through the tears that had swelled up in his eyes as Loki bent down and checked Pepper.
"Stop it. She's alright." Loki said reassuringly as he stopped Tony from punching him again. His knees were starting to hurt.
"What did you do to her?" Tony sobbed, looking down at Pepper, but not being able to see anything through the flood of tears.
"What I did to you."


"Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on?" Fury roared, as everyone looked down. They really should have told Shield what was going on as soon as Loki showed up.
"Tony ran off, had a nasty run in with Loki at McDonalds where Loki turned him into a kid, and some other stuff." Clint shrugged, not being bothered to go into the details. Fury glared at them and opened his mouth to respond, but the surrounding monitors suddenly came to life.
"Hello."
"It's him!" Bruce yelled, pointing madly at the closest monitor.
"Well spotted Dr Banner." Loftus snarked, Clint's lip twitched slightly. "Now I guess you're all wondering where Tony and Pepper are?"
"Yes." Steve nodded. Loftus smiled and nodded.
The screen changed to show Tony, hammering on Loki's leg while bawling something as Pepper shrunk.
"What the hell?! Do you just like turning adults into kids?" Natasha yelled at the monitor as it switched back to Loftus gloating grin. He raised his hands.
"Not my idea."
"Loki." Thor growled. Loftus nodded and smirked slightly.
Steve stood up suddenly, picked up his shield which was perched against his chair, and as though it were a frisbee, chucked it at the monitor. It had a domino affect, slicing through each one as it bounded around. Clint ducked as it whizzed past his head.
"I'm going to find Tony and Pepper. You coming?" He beckoned at the rest of the group, catching his shield as they all scrambled to get out of their seats.


Tony was thinking, and he was proud of himself for it. More often than not he couldn't hold a conversation with someone, let alone have an in depth discussion with himself without getting confused.
What was Loki doing? Was he a friend or foe? And what about Pepper? Loki had said she was against him, but now he had her, and she was a kid too.
Had Loki done that to him? Was he once an adult too? Why had Loki changed him if so?
"C'mon Tony.. Remember." He urged himself. If only he had Jarvis. Jarvis. The AI he had running his house. His house. Stark Tower. Malibu. He had a house in Malibu? When did that happen?
His cars. Dummy. He had robots! Dummy, You, Butterfingers. But he couldn't tell whether that was real, or something he'd coaxed from the realms of the imagination.
He remembered Pepper. He knew Pepper now of course, but he remembered her in different light. 'Proof that Tony Stark has a heart'. The small blue disk flashed into his memory. What was that?
A new voice spoke up, it sounded older. It sounded wise but slightly mischievous.
"This is a miniaturised Arc Reactor. I have a big one powering my factory at home."
Who was that? Metal and Coconut. Palladium. Arc Reactors. Iron Man.
He was Iron Man.
Iron Man was him.

That toy, that was him. Clint, Natasha, Bruce, Thor, Steve- they were his friends. That's why they cared so much.
But what about Loki?


"Loki." Tony said as fiercely as he could as he slammed the door open. Loki turned and smiled at him.
"Yes?"
"Loki- did you push me out of a window?" Loki froze.
"What would make you say that?" Loki questioned, trying to disguise the worry in his face.
"Did you push me out of a window?" Tony pressed on, growing redder in the face.
"Yes." Loki nodded. Tony just looked at him.
"I'm going, I'm taking Pepper with me. But before that I want you to turn us both back into adults." He commanded.
"And why would I do that?" Loki quizzed, smirking slightly.
"Because of the Avengers."
Loki's face hollowed as he recalled the last time he heard that.
"What do you remember?"
"I remember everything." Loki could indeed tell that Tony knew stuff now. He didn't have the same voice as a seven year old anymore. The same tone. It had wished up. He knew what he was talking about.
"Do you remember killing millions of people? Do you remember being held captive for 3 months in a cave in Afghanistan?" Loki questioned, Tony bit his lip but hid the fear as he nodded. "Why would you want to go back to a life like that?"
"Because it's my life."
