Chapter Text
Tony screwed up big time. This time even he knew it. He had two choices: run away and hopefully make it to Australia by the time everything was normal or stay and try to fix it. Obviously he tried to do the first one but Barton just wasn't having that.
Now he had to deal with the fact that he shrank the Black Widow. He shrank Natasha Romanoff. He was a dead man.
Waking up something bright hit Natasha's eyes. It hurt. So as any sane person would do she rolled over. Something extremely soft was under her, she was sure it felt like a pillow or a couch. Forcing her eyes to open allowing them to adjust for a moment, everything seemed normal but very different. There was someone yelling in the other room. It sounded a bit like Tony based on how many swears were being used but the voice seemed a little too deep for him.
It took her a minute until Natasha noticed exactly what was wrong, everything was huge. Like way too big for her liking. She knew better than to freak out or scream no matter how much she wanted to. She heard voices and loud footsteps come towards her so she started fake sleeping just in case.
"See Nat's still asleep Barton so we have a little more time to try and fix it before we have to tell her." Tony pointed out
"Wow Tony you really don't know her that well do you? She's obviously faking it. Tasha, you can stop now, it's just us." Clint remarked
She slowly opened her eyes, fully taking in her teammates. Either everything around her got much bigger all of a sudden or she shrank. It was definitely the latter.
Tony was staring at her in shock and fear. It was much easier for her to read his emotions when the signs were so much bigger.
"Okay Natasha don't freak out. We will find a way to fix you." Bruce tried to calm her down. He made a grave mistake.
"No reason to freak out? How about I freak out because hmm I'm barely 6 inches tall!" She yelled. The boys all simultaneously agreed the anger on her face did not match with the fact that her voice went up a couple octaves. She signed before looking
back to the boys "Now is anyone going to tell me how Stark messed up this time?
"Hey it-!" He shut up with Clint's glare.
"Tony would you actually like to tell her and make yourself look better or have someone else tell her?" Steve spoke up.
"Fine. Long story short I had maybe watched Honey, I shrunk the kids a couple times to many. I thought it would be a cool upgrade to start working on as a way to bring bad guys into custody. I was working on a prototype when you maybe did your creepy spy thing and I maybe got scared and maybe shot you with the shrink ray. But, there is a plus side that being that it works.
"Have you figured out a way to reverse it yet?
"No, but I am working on it right now."
"Good. So am I good to leave?"
"Yup Tasha, let's get out of here." Barton stepped in and placed his hand on the counter for her to step onto. She cautiously did so. He slowly placed her into one of the jacket pockets.
"Oh! One more thing Barton, I sent some supplies over to your apartment." Tony finished before walking back towards his lab.
Clint and Natasha raised an eyebrow at that but walked out nonetheless.
Something told Natasha she wasn't going to like this.
