Normie bit the inside of his lip as he pondered that. "Did Spider-Man do it?"

A frown. No, he was wrong. Spider-Man wasn't bad.

"Can he help?"

[daughteroftheoriginal]

She prepared to say something to correct him- she really did not need to go through that again- but thankfully he switched tack.

"We'll see about that." She was pretty sure her dad definitely wouldn't be able to if this had happened back home, and she didn't think this was in this Peter's abilities either. Probably. Even though her dad did seem pretty comfortable with the equipment at Avengers Mansion and around the F5's.

"I think this is more a Fantastic Five sort of problem."

[areyougonnaleave]

Old habits, you know. Even if this was a young body.

At her statement about the Fantastic Five, he frowns. "But they aren't here."

[daughteroftheoriginal]

"No, they aren't," she admits. "But there have to be other people around here who have the same kind of knack for this kind of thing." Like Dr. Pym.

Unless it's a magic thing? There are enough different possibilities to make this a huge problem.

"Like Tony Stark or Big Man's dad?"

He made a face. Neither of those seemed like great options, but maybe he was biased. Normie looked around the room.

"When's Mayday coming back? Are you sure she's not kidnapped?"

[daughteroftheoriginal]

"Maybe one of them." Even if she wouldn't necessarily trust Stark to fix this and she's not entirely sure even the second would be able to fix this. But really, Normie remembers who Big Man is but doesn't believe she's her?

She sighs and kneels down so she isn't looking down at him as much. "Normie, I'm Mayday, I promise. You used to share gummy bears with me when we were little and right now there's a glider in your room that you made while I spent a bunch of time talking to you. Remember? Just because I don't look the age I'm supposed to be doesn't mean I'm not me."

"But you're Auntie M." Sorry May, he's really adamant about that. He can't imagine what you'd look like older, so he can't make the connection. "May isn't a grown-up."

This is really going to be a lost cause, isn't it? "And you're normally not fun sized," she responds. There's a part of her that knows she's going to regret this later, once they're both back to normal, but she tousles his hair, too. Maybe she should suggest Normie grows his hair back out like this afterwards, if nothing else comes out of all of this.

[areyougonnaleave]

For now, at least. Normie smiled at the hair tussling, then gently tugged at her arm.

"Can we play something?"

[daughteroftheoriginal]

For now. She'll probably try again later.

"Sure. Like what?" She isn't sure if she should be making any suggestions here; what's appropriate for a four year old?

[areyougonnaleave]

"I wanna make something!"

He frowned a bit as thoughts of smoke bombs came to mind. Why would he want to make something so silly? And why did he know how to make it? Ah well.

"Do you have any LEGOs, Auntie M?"
