Disclaimer: I do not own Skye, Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Grant Ward, or FitzSimmons. I only own the variation I have created off of this very popular idea.

I firstly must thank Neeeeeal who, as the author of Turn Back Time, has done such a very interesting and lovely job on their story I wanted to give my attempt of it a go.

However, because I cannot find B.J. Britt's wiki page or his age, I'm going with Ward. But that's not the only reason. It's because with the Hydra plot, I see no room or logical way for this story to make sense. So... It's AUish. Ward isn't hydra. Yay! Because I really did love Ward.

Warning, MAY include Avengers. I upped the rating for my own comfort.

The only sounds Tony heard when entering the lab was the beeping of each machine and the clatter of beakers. Standing in front of Stark was the one and only Bruce Banner, examining one of SHIELD's most recent weapons, the I.C.E.R.

Tony cleared his throat, causing Bruce to glance over his shoulder, "Tony, what brings you to my corner?"

"Oh I don't know... It is my tower."

"Our tower now Tony, you share it with like six other people."

Tony pouts playfully, "But Brucie you know I don't like sharing!"

Bruce sighed, running a hand over his face, "What do you need Tony?"

Tony slid over a few examining dishes, the ones for a microscopes. They had names, dates, and were blood types. Bruce glanced up at Tony, skeptical as the billionaire slid him a vanilla file folder.

"What is this?"

"Maria asked me to have us look into it. This team of agents were on a temporary leave while their plane was under repairs, the two senior officers had left the vicinity at the time, one to check on the plane and the other to take a drive for... Well just 'cause. When they came back to their hotel..." Tony showed him the pictures of the trashed hotel room, "They were missing for two months and were found twenty years younger. As little kids. They want us to see if we can find just a microscopic trace of whatever did this still in their system."

"SHIELD scientist out of their leagues?" Bruce softly smiled.

"Maria didn't phrase it that way but I assume so," Tony says, "So want do you think? Can we do it?"

"Most likely," Bruce says taking a sample to start examining, but he stared at Tony quietly, "Tony, is there any other reason Maria let you bring me this stuff and debrief me?"

Tony remembered Coulson and reminded himself to let the Agent give himself away, "No... Why?"

"One, your lying. Two, why are you lying. Three, give me the truth."

"It's classified!" Tony says, repeating exactly what Natasha or Fury say to him when he gets too curious which is always.

Bruce glared at him, "Since when do you care about things being classified or not? What's going on Tony?"

Tony gulped, pulling at his collar nervously. He tried to not look Bruce in the eye, or else he would spill the secret, "Just- Well-" He suddenly ran from the lab to avoid interrogation, "WHERES MY LAWYER!?"

"Tony! This isn't over!" Bruce shouts, not leaving to chase after him and leans over the microscope. He'd just cash in a favor with the Black widow later to get his answers.

In a small, dark room, there laid an elderly old man. He was hidden away, somewhere safe and unfortunately cold, a secret bunker that has gone unnoticed for 69 long years.

Laying on a small cot, connected to several medical machines laid a man. His entire face was hidden by the darkness of his room, his body covered by the many heavy blankets that covered him. The door opened, allowing two woman to enter the room, one speaking in a very thick German accent. The other spoke in crisp clear English, watching the other woman fuss over her patient.

"Leave us my dear..." The man says, speaking with a clear German accent that made him sound a bit more exotic. He ushered the nurse away, watching his associate take a seat, "How hav ze experiments been going?"

"We've run into an issue," The Englishwoman explains, "Our subjects have been relinquished due to a SHIELD team recovering them, we lost a lot of our data on our way out. To avoid discovery sir we had to delete have of our notes and work. I deeply apologize, some of our staff have been apprehended and captured. We are trying very hard to synthesize more, so far the latest vial, which was injected into the shield agents took off twenty years, however if we give more than one dose it kills the subject and we are having difficulty evolving it to take off more years."

"Hav ve been compromised?"

"No, our staff is very reliable and if they do spill our secrets we will make sure they are taken care of. None of them know that you are here, that you are safe here. They only know the mission in our project."

"Good... Good... Is zere any way to recover our lost work?"

"I am working on that now sir, we will recover it."

"Good..." He started to cough heavily, "Good... The future... Is bright for me, is it not?"

Ok... I have noticed that a lot of people are surprised that Coulson didn't scold Grant for hitting Skye. However, Grant is fully aware that he shouldn't have done that. He's eleven, he said that his anger got the better of him. Coulson does not need to elaborate it to him, he's more concerned about Grant trying to run away and the fear he experienced. And, I just like to point out that this isn't the same Grant we know (and to some people loathe). He's a vulnerable, confused little kid. And none of their parents are coming for them. Their parents are old, they cant know about their missions. Plus Grants parents are assholes, they don't want to get involved and they can't get involved. None of their parents can get involved in fear that they children will be recaptured.

I also added this chapter, because I'm not ready for more interrogation with Hawkeye and Hill, actually, I think Hawk-Eye has been removed from it. But I am not ready to do more bonding with the children. So... To a new aspect!

Also, how old was Captain America when he entered the Super Soldier program and became Captain America, defeated Hydra and got frozen? How old was he? 19? 21?
