Tony accidentally turned his husband into a toddler...so he looks after him, of course.

Enjoy!

"Ooh! This looks interesting..."

"Tony, that's alien technology, don't-oof!"

"STEVE!"

.

Steve was going to be fine. The effects from the magical-glowing-stick-thing were semi-permanent. All they had to do was wait.

Tony, being human and inexperienced in alien technology, didn't know whether this was actually true or not, but he kept repeating this to himself and the team anyway. They needed as much optimism as possible, because dealing with a scrawny, messy-haired, hyperactive toddler (who was also his husband, for crying out loud) was proving to be rather difficult for Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Tony would know since he was the one who'd been juggling the child on his hip all day (the other Avengers had argued that since Steve was his husband, he should be the one to take care of him).

He and Bruce were in the lab, trying to find a solution to the issue.

"You, Steven, are quite possibly the heaviest child I've ever held," Tony said, taking his eyes away from his work for a moment to readjust the blonde in his arms. "I thought you were s'posed to be skinny?"

"He was, as a child," Bruce commented, looking over his glasses at Tony. "But the test results say differently. Look-" He grabbed the screen, and spun it around so Tony could view it. "Do you see that?"

Tony squinted, tightening his grip on Steve as he leant forward to take a closer look (Steve giggled at the sudden movement). The image clearly displayed a close-up view of a sample of blood, Steve's blood, full of red and white blood cells and numerous other normal things found in the human body. But there was something else, too. "That's..." Tony frowned. "Is that the serum?"

"Uh-huh," Bruce nodded his head. "That's usually a normal thing to see, for Steve,"

Tony nodded slowly. "Yeah, I know. But Steve's younger now, so surely the serum shouldn't still be there?"

"Exactly," Bruce replied. "But that's not the case, for some reason. I'm trying to work out why,"

"Huh," Tony bit his lip. "Yeah, that is weird,"

"I actually think it might be more to do with magic, than science. Which goes against basically everything I believe in, but, well, we know it exists, because of Strange,"

"Ugh. Magic," Tony shuddered. "Let's not repeat that dreadful word again, 'kay? And as for that Doctor-" Tony scratched his goatee. "I'm still convinced that he stole my facial hair idea,"

"You look nothing alike-"

"Uh, actually-"

Bruce sighed, rolling his eyes as he turned the screen around again. "Whatever. Look, I don't suppose you've found anything out about that device, have you?"

Tony shrugged. "To be honest, Bruce, I've been too busy dealing with this little one-" He gently poked Steve's nose, smiling when the young hero squealed in delight. "-to actually get any proper work done. Thor took a look at the photos and didn't think it was Asgardian, but he can't really tell, so he's gone to S.H.I.E.L.D. to get a closer look at it. That's where it-hey, what's that look for?"
