Oh, yeah? What'd you do to test that?

What were you watching?

[ Curiously.

Alright, so he knows these things usually blow over, but still. He's got this need to figure out how to fix it early -- if he can. ]

[tadeadshi]

Well, experience? We saw what happened with this equipment and with the nanites before. But to be safe, [insert the most bullshit science method they could've tried in their garage with a busted generator that caused it to begin with.

When he's done, he shrugs, watching Koromaru climbing onto his lap instead of Tony's reaction.]

[liverletdie]

To be safe? Experience?

Oh, don't tell me...

[ Of course they were. ]

Did you guys have a hand in this...

[tadeadshi]

[He smiles just a little.]

Might've. We were testing something and it got a little out of hand.

[More like Hiro was testing and went overboard but y'know. Big brother's gonna take some of the heat for him.]

[liverletdie]

Oh yeah? What were you guys testing?

[ And why did it get this out of hand... ]

And how did it hit this badly?

[tadeadshi]

Hiro wanted to see if he could do anything to alter the nanites, see if he could change how they healed and repaired things.

I wasn't actually in the garage when it happened, so I'm not sure what he did to get this result.

[liverletdie]

Well, alright. So what did you guys do to the nanites? What have you tried to do to reverse it?

[ he looked perfectly intense, actually. Like he was already trying to figure out how to fix it.

Then again, he hated looking this young. ]

[tadeadshi]

I'm not sure what exactly he did, but I can tell you we haven't tried fixing it yet.

[And here he looks intensely embarrassed.]

We have to rebuild the equipment we were using, it blew as soon as he tried.

[liverletdie]

Just great. So how far in are you doing that?

Do you guys need anything? Is there anything I can do to help?

[ at least he was enthusiastic about it. ]

[tadeadshi]

Time is what we need most.

[A beat.]

And the house to not be so crowded. You got lucky aging down to just this, we've got a couple five year olds with us.

[liverletdie]

Oh.

That's...unpleasant. And you know, nanotech's tricky stuff. I wouldn't recommend messing with this in the future. Even I know better than to touch it. There are all sorts of protection mechanisms built into these things, we're lucky it was just ages that moved down this time.

[tadeadshi]

I agree. I've got no intention of doing anything else with them.

[At least until he knows for sure what he can do. But he'd rather put his efforts elsewhere than the nanites.

Also Hiro, buddy, your boss is way more intense than Tadashi gave him credit for holy crap.]

We'll call this a learning experience and work on other stuff.

[liverletdie]

[ It's true, even as a child, Tony Stark is hella intense. He grins at him. ]

Oh good. One mistake I can say just happens, repeated attempts are more troublesome.

I figured you'd be the balancing influence for Hiro. He's... got some big ideas.

[tadeadshi]

That's a fairly nice way of saying he gets in over his head, but you're right, he does.

The catch is funneling all those ideas into manageable projects.

[liverletdie]

Hey, I only say it because I know what it's like. I've...been in that position myself from time to time. [ Constantly ]

but he seems to look up to you a lot.
