Aged Down!

Something has happened to you: Somehow, you've been aged down. Maybe you have memories of being older. Maybe you're aged down in memories as much as you are in form.

Don't worry, help is on the way!

...Whether you want it or not.

What happens next?

Post as either the aged-down character or as a potential finder. How it happened is up to you!

At this point in his life he was used to being ditched by his parents. His dad was busy building things, looking for a dead man, drinking, and 'trying to make the world a better place.' The less said about that, the better. His mother had planned a fun 'girls week' in Rome that turned into an entire summer. And so, Tony was sent to Live with Jarvis and Ana in Hollywood for the duration of the summer.

He almost wished that he took Summer Classes at MIT, instead.

He'd been given a hug and a kiss from his mother and a quick 'be good and have fun.' His father on the other hand, gave him a call with a stern 'stay outta trouble and don't leave until you've built something useful.'

And Tony did build something useful. Sort of. He'd spent hours in his makeshift lab coding and building the small robot, but it wasn't perfect. Not yey, at least. But he was tired and almost frustrated, and there was a cute girl who lived close by... Maybe he'd give her a visit.

So he left one of his records playing on full blast in his lab, and tried to sneak out the window in one of the hallways. He had thought ahead enough to disable the ridiculous security system so he was in the clear for that.

He just didn't think that he'd accidentally knock over one of his mother's Grecian pots. Goodbye a couple of centuries of history.

It was ugly, anyways.

Ana was about to round the corner and draw the pistol when she saw the teenager halfway through the window.

"Tony?" she asked. "What ever are you doing?" she asked, curious rather than unkind. "If you had wanted to go out, you could have told Mr. Jarvis or myself."

Her hand was steady when it drew away from her leg. She thought the days of high flying adventure were behind both of them. Yet it seems that Tony would keep them on their toes as Peggy did.

Tony was already halfway through the window when he heard Ana's voice. Crap. Maybe he wasn't going to meet that cute girl, after all.

"Uh, no, I didn't need to go out. I was just um. Getting some fresh air."

...Yep, fresh air.

"Fresh air."

Did she believe him? Absolutely not. There were some days, she wondered if Tony had been around Peggy a little too much. Sneaking off, having adventures, putting a poor strain on her husband's health.

"Through the window?"
