Onlookers crowd a diner window, trying to peek inside.
"I'm confused." Scott states.
Hulk/Bruce rolls up a pizza and eats it like a burrito. Scott, me, Uncle Stevie and Nat sit across from him.
"These are confusing times." Hulk/Bruce replies.
"No, that's not what I'm-"
"I'm kidding, I get it. It's crazy. I wear shirts now!"
"But why?"
"Five years ago, we got our asses kicked, right?"
Hulk/Bruce eats a stack of pancakes in two bites as I zone out for over the 100th time due to my attention span and my ADHD.
"I'm supposed to be on Oprah next week, but I guess I could move things around." I hear as I zone back in.
...
"Okay. I'm going to send you back one week, give you an hour to look around, then bring you back in ten seconds. Make sense?" Hulk/Bruce says as Scott.
"Perfectly not confusing." Scott declares.
"Good luck, Scott. You've got this." Uncle Stevie encouraged.
"Yes, I do, Captain America. Yes, I-" Scott says, inspired.
Hulk/Bruce pulls a lever. Scott shrinks into nothing.
"Counting down from three, two, one..." Hulk/Bruce says.
Suddenly Scott reappears. But he's a 12 year old?
"Uh, guys? This doesn't feel right." Scott says.
"Is that Scott?" I ask.
"Probably...?" Hulk/Bruce answers but more questions. He scrambles, hitting buttons. Scott shrinks to nothing.
"Get him back" Uncle Stevie yells.
Hulk/Bruce flips a switch. Scott reappears.. at age 93.
"Oh, my back," Scott whines.
"Bruce! Get it under control. What the hell is going on?" Nat states.
"I got it, I know exactly what's going on. Pretty much." Hulk/Bruce replied nervously as I facepalm.
Scott shrinks to nothing again. Hulk/Bruce types frantically with a pencil? I guess his fingers are too big for the keys. A 2 year old appears.
"Oh, my God." Nat comments.
"It's a baby." Uncle Stevie whispers, not amused.
"It's Scott" I comment amused.
"As a baby" He replies.
Hulk/Bruce hits a button and baby Scott disappears.
"When I tell you, kill the power" He screams as he flips a switch. "Now"
I kill the power and I huff a sigh of relief seeing normal Scott stumble off the pad.
"Somebody peed my pants. I don't know if it was baby-me or old-me. Or just me-me." Scott states as I stifle a laugh.
