Chapter 1
"Can I have a beer mr stark?" Peter asked coming into the kitchen his hair dripping wet from a shower after their most recent mission. "No Pete, I know your 18 but here your still under the legal age" pepper spoke up before Tony could even open his mouth. "Sorry kid, boss has spoken!" "Ugh it's not fair" he plopped down on a chair beside all the rest of the team who were drinking their alcoholic beverage as pepper walked over with an orange juice placing it infront of Peter who held a pout and Sam teased "poor baby" "fuck off Sam" Peter said sternly. "Language Peter!" Steve chastised, "Woah papa Roger's chill" Bucky chuckled. "I regret letting you all live here" Tony said pinching the bridge of his nose as he sat with his eyes closed.
"You don't really mean that do you mr stark?" Peter said looking at his mentor who glanced up smiling at the younger man, "not you kid, the rest maybe. Also how many times have I told you to call me Tony? I've known you how many years now?" Tony teased, this was a regular point of conversation between the two but Peter couldn't help it. May had raised him to call people older then him Mr or Ms and the team was no different.
The next morning Peter didn't feel so bad about not having a drink when he strolled into the kitchen to pour some cereal and a couple of the team were sitting nursing their hangovers with a coffee. "AH WHO FANCYS SOME BACON" Thor came in bellowing. "Ugh bring the volume down Thor!" Natasha growled as she rubbed her temples. "Okay no bacon for that puney human!" He pointed at Natasha before turning to Peter. "Bacon sandwich Peter?" He said as the younger began to nod frantically. With his fast metabolism Peter needed all the calories he could get!
It was merely only another few days when the alarm sounded, Peter always got giddy when it was time to go on a mission, he got his suit on sprinting and swinging to plane meeting up with the team. "Ready kid?" Tony asked as they buckled in, "yes mr stark! Do we know who we're fighting?" Peter said almost giddily in his chair. "No, and I believe they have a new technology gun, one with power we've never seen before, we need to try and obtain one to get it back to the lab to study, but Pete, be safe alright? I know your technically an adult now but your still my responsibility and I'd rather keep my balls attached to my body rather then splattered across your aunt mays apartment" Tony shivered with the thought picturing the scene as Peter was stifling a laugh before responding "I'll be safe mr stark" Peter responded before taking a deep inhale of air as the aircraft took off, this is something Peter never imagined getting use to in this life. It felt surreal each and every time he thought as he glanced around the team smiling under his mask.
"WANDA DUCK!" Peter shouted as he swung to kick the guy who held what could only be described as a ray gun in wandas direction. Wanda followed instructions ducking down before turning and unleashing her power on the individual, Peter spun a web at the gun to pull it into his grip but his web accidentally pulled the trigger while it was aimed at himself letting out a shout as he felt a sharp electric shock run across his body dropping to the ground pulling the gun to lay beside him. He could hear shouts and fighting happening around him as he lay amidst the rubble stewed around the grounds, his body trembled and rigored on the floor making him flow in and out of consciousness.
"Pete!" "Peter!" "Anyone seen the kid?" Tony and cap said as the crew congregated with cuts scrapes and burns inflicted upon them. they had won but as they killed each of the opponents the guns vaporised with them. There's probably more to come and they were unsuccessful in obtaining one to study. "Has anyone seen Peter!" Tony said spinning around in a panic. "He told me to duck, I havnt seen him since" Wanda admitted. "Where Wanda?" Tony said briskly walking to face her. "Just up there" she admitted pointing, she had barely finished her sentence as Tony's feet left the ground launching in the direction indicated with the others apart from the falcon, running on foot. Peter heard thumping galloping towards him as he sat up shaking his head looking around. He smiled at the laser gun lying beside him. Mr stark was going to be so proud of him!
A large thud landed infront of him as Tony fell to his knees retracting his helmet. "Peter?" Tony said in a panic making Peter tilt his head confused. "Mistew stawk I..." Pete began to tell him about the gun as he reached out his hand to the gun only to notice then his suit hanging off him and he was confined within, his high pitched voice foreign to his ears. He turned to look at Tony again as all the others approached gasping. "Mistew stawk? Wa Wong wiv me" Peter voice lisped out in a panic inside his suit. Bruce back in his human form fell to his knees infront of Peter.
"I heard talks of these guns, I didn't think it could ever be done. Pete did you get hit?" Bruce asked shocked. Pete just nodded glancing around the team that now circled him "wah Wong wiv me?" He asked again and Bruce glanced at Tony wondering if he would take the reins in breaking the news but he just sat shocked staring at the small framed baby swarmed by the sipper suit. Bruce took a deep breath, "Pete the lasers has caused your body to deage, regressing it back to, fuck I can't imagine you being more then two, you've got your adult brain at least" Bruce tried to lessen the blow.
Peter was too stunned to speak, he glanced down at himself, his full body fitting into the torso of his suit. His lip began to tremble, overwhelmed with emotion he broke down into a sob, tears streaming down his cheeks as he tried to raise his hands up to his face. The suit restricting his movement making him even more frustrated. Tony quickly opened the suit lifting out the baby's body in just oversized boxer shorts pulling him against his chest as the boy screamed. "Woah and you call me loud?" Thor shouts over the crying. "Not the time asshole!" Cap nudges the god of thunder stepping carefully around the gun as he stroked the boys bare back, "Pete did you save this gun buddy?" Cap asked softly as Peter turned to face Steve his face against Tony's chest as he nodded by way of response. "Good job! Non of the rest of us manage to salvage one, we will get it into the lab as soon as possible and we will look into how the resolve this situation. Steve went to pick the gun up as Peter screamed. "Nooooo not touch it! It ping me!" Pete tried to warn as cap picked it up and started walking towards the ship. "Let's get a blanket for you underoos" Tony said as he carried the sniffling boy to the ship sitting him on his lap before buckling them both in. These belts were not made for people of his stature. "Mistor stawk?" Pete's large eyes glanced up with his large brown eyes. "Yea bud?" "Will you fix me pease?" "I'll try kid, we'll get banner to do some diagnostic work when we're back at the compound, fuck! Pepper! She's going to kill me! I promised her you wouldn't get hurt."
As Tony stark carried the boy wrapped in a blanket out of the ship he's immediately intercepted by an irritate Pepper, "ANTHONY EDWARD STARK! Why are you carrying a baby?" "It's Peter" he said simply which makes her even angrier, "why are you carrying a baby Peter!" She shouted. For as much as they were all superhero's they scurried away from an angry Pepper, that was not a force to be reckoned with. "So they shot him with these new guns, but Pete managed to salvage one so I'm going to work on it to try and reverse it and Bruce is going to run dialysis on Pete" Tony explained truthfully. "Toni?" Pete's small voice drew his attention down to the boy in his arms one who held a drool covered finger to his mouth, Tony loved hearing Peter call him Tony rather then his formal title. "Yeah bud?" "Um they no shoot me, my web stuck on twiggew as I stoled it and it shot me" Peter admitted truthfully. "Oh Pete" was all Tony said in reply to the boy who had unintentionally deaged himself. "I'm sowwy pease no be mad! You still help me pease? I no wan be baby?" Pete could feel more tears well up with his heightened baby emotions."Hey, we'll find a cure don't worry, let's get to the lab" Tony said walking away with Bruce in the direction of the lab as pepper shouted after them, "he's going to need clothes!" "I'm going to have to find out his age bracket first!" Tony shouted.
Diagnostic ran and it concluded that Bruce was correct with his estimate of 1.5 years to 2 years as Pete's bones size and dental estimate his age to fall in the middle at 21 monthes. Tony swiftly texts the team chat informing them of the results and if some of them could grab the necessities to tie them over until they could get him cured. "Tony peps asking does he need diapers?" Bruce asks in hushed tones but Peter sharp hearing heard it and he immediately became iriate. "I no need diapie I adult!" He said as he stood on the floor holding his loose boxers as he stomped his bare feet dramatically. As if on Que a puddle formed at Pete's feet solidifying their answer. Pete's crying grew louder and Tony bent to sooth the boy Bruce shot back to the chat "yeah, he's going to need diapers"
(Okay guys guilty as charged taking on another story adding this to be story 5 on the go, marvel deageing is probably not everyone cup of tea but I fancied writing something a bit different. This will be a back burner story with infrequent updates as I try to wrap up my two longer stories. 'Little secret' and 'frat baby'.
I'm mostly writing this for myself to read as marvel fanfics have always been a favourite of mine, I was going to keep in my private library but I figured id give people the opportunity to tag along if it's something your interested in,
Anyway lots of love,
Annie xo 💋)
