I would like to state for the record that it wasn't me. However, if I am able to help correct the situation I will certainly do so.

I have no idea what happened, but I can walk. Hell, my body hasn't felt this good in years.


I didn't drink anything strange last night, did I?

It's been a long bloody while since I could grope both at the same time.

Something is clearly wrong. If you are currently older or younger please report that information to me or another SHIELD operative.

If you're responsible, I suggest you come forward sooner rather than later so that we can work to fix this thing. Immediately.

I need help acquiring clothes. Which is to say, Darcy I need you to find me something and Clint I need you to bring it to me. Darcy, if it has an animal on it or flowers we will be having words. Don't think I'm any less lethal in this form.

Three women and one man hit on me this morning. One told me I can return to her bed and be her king.

OKAY, adult pubes are a big fat pass, but I bet I can get anything I want with these tits. Can I keep them? They would probably look weird on a 12 year old but in a year or two, I could own high school boys for all their worth. Which isn't much, but it's something.

I think I'm going to do it. I'm going to watch the show. Will you guys watch with us?

And I'm thinking we might need a lot of liquor when I do this. Like a LOT of liquor.

If it wasn't for Netfix, I'd probably die of boredom.

You know, I don't think this is such a bad thing.

Any idea what's going on, because I'm not me right now. And if Chase tries to get OL to eat me one more time...I'm not responsible for my actions.

Is there really this much danger in this city?

Alright. If everyone that's had their physical age messed with recently could answer the following questions, I'll do everything I can to help you. You can make the filter private to me if there's anything you'd rather not say publicly.

1. When did you first notice the change? Where were you when that happened?
2. Is the change just physical, or have you (or anyone else) noticed a change in your memories or mental state as well?
3. Been anywhere unusual recently, or noticed anyone unusual hanging around you and/or the Tower? Anything that you've noticed that was strange could be a clue, an indication of magic.

I'd also suggest doing a careful sweep of the room you were in when you noticed the change, to make sure there isn't anything new or weird or out of place. It's probably a long shot because I doubt this was magic from my world, but no harm in checking anyway.

Until this gets sorted out, if there's anything you need, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

NOBODY LOOK AT ME! I'M OLD!!!! uuuuuuugh.

Well, I guess it could have been worse. All of my clothes still fit for one thing. AT LEAST NOW I KNOW I DON'T GROW UP TO BE REALLY, REALLY UGLY AND FAT.

I wonder if I can still get guys to buy my drinks! CINCO DE MAYO IS THE BEST DAY TO TEST THIS THEORY. BBL!!!

Oh come on. I'm younger than my son, and I'd really like not to be. Does anyone have clothes that will fit a 6 year old who's a little too tall and a little too skinny? I can't exactly go out in the stuff I have. My shirts might look like a dress, but I don't have anything to wear under them THAT FITS, and that's not going to happen.

If you don't have clothes to fit, I'll give you money if you'll grab me some.

I have no idea what's going on, but it's good to know what I have to look forward to in ten-fifteen years. I could get used to this.

All I can say is that I am not to blame for whatever just happened, if anything goes wrong with my science experiments they usually explode.

You still you? I think I'll be spending more time at work come tommorow till this blows over.

We have intelligence that suggests activity in London on the part of the Winter Soldier.

Kontar Sayed, a former Afghan general, was found dead from a single shot to the temple. Given the direction of the bullet and surveillance, there aren't many who could have made that shot, nor is there any indication of how the shot was made.

There are also surveillance photos from Leicester Square which support the theory of the Winter Soldier's involvement.

I'm going to need all of you to come in on this. We need to move quickly if we want to have any chance of finding him or, at the very least, any information that could lead us to him.

Well.

Now I can say with confidence that the only thing that makes trudging downstairs for coffee after a spectacular evening spent celebrating one's brother's removal from the face of the earth more of a chore is trudging downstairs for coffee and tripping over about eighty children in the process.

I hope I am doing this right. I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date I believe it is called have dinner with me this week? I thought it would be nice if we did that before the prom so I won't be so nervous. What night is good for you? I am free any time that you are.

UHHHH I am pretty sure my fingers were bigger yesterday.

THIS IS NOT FUNNY!

For those of you currently experiencing the joys of being older or younger than your current age, I'd like to let you know that I'm having Happy and a few other employees meet in the lobby with some more age appropriate clothing for you. There will be a wide range of selections, and we'll also have things like brassieres for those finding themselves differently shaped and step stools for those who are much shorter than they were.

ETA is currently 10 minutes.

Oh well... hehe this is gonna make work hard....

TEXT TO THOR:

✉ I have a request.
✉ As I'm sure you can see, your brother's alternate universe counterpart has changed, much like others in this place.
✉ I'm sure you can see the inherent problem in someone who looks like your brother walking around the city.
✉ We'd like you to accompany him, to make sure nobody tries to attack him. And also to be sure that he doesn't become a threat.

TEXT TO NATASHA (616):

✉ I've spoken with Fury.
✉ Barton and Romanoff are grounded until this passes. Too much risk that they might regress mentally in addition to their physical change.
✉ But he doesn't want to pass up this opportunity to gain intelligence regarding the Winter Soldier.
✉ So, I'm going to need you and Barnes to accompany me to London, if you're able.

The person responsible for this had better fix it and fast.

I haven't bloody well looked like this in over a hundred years. More.

And I know magic when I see it.

Undo this, please.

Is it a good idea for everybody to go running off? It's not a good idea for everybody to go running off. This might wear off. Stay put. No running off. Let SHIELD figure this out.

Well, this isn't the worst thing that's ever happened. But it sure as hell isn't the most fun thing that's ever happened to me, either.

I'll be running tests this afternoon.

Well now, this is unsettling.

I can't say I've ever shared my sister's desire for humanity so this is less pleasant than it might have been for her.

I must admit that I'm at something of a loss for how to proceed.

While the rest of you are bitching about the age switch, I'll be enjoying myself. Later, fellow refugees.

Children.

Well, I guess it was as good a time for a holiday as any. My name is Remus Lupin. I was told James and Lily there were others from my world here. Is that true?

James? James?

Just gonna stick my nose in here to ask:

How many of you are less powerful or incapable of producing the same degree of whammy as yesterday? How many of you are more capable of handling yourselves?

I don't need a tall pointy hat to say that the whole thing stinks.

Is it worth repeating that I am not terribly fond of magic?

[...]

We are assuming this is a spell, right?

I worked all afternoon and then spent the time after my shift doing some wandering as I tried to find a dress from prom (which left me both unsuccessful and feeling very old as most clothes shopping does since being ripped from my time), only to return to the tower, check the network, and see that people are... different ages? Different appearance I can handle, but actually being a different age is something else.

Never a dull moment in any universe, is it?

ok so remy gonna tell you what

he dont like no games and he dont like no people pokin and proddin where they aint supposed to be and he dont like this one bit

but damn if this aint one fine room they done put me in so maybe it be worth it

[ Filtered to the Avengers of all universes ]

One of you magic kids better figure out how to fix this soon, since Fury fucking benched me and now I have nothing to do for the rest of my longer than anticipated life

So is this the sort of thing that happens often in other universes? Cause it's sure as hell never happened here before.

I would really like to have it fixed before my 17-year-old brain takes over and I start... knocking over mailboxes with my friend, Combo, or busting up fluorescent light bulbs with a baseball bat in the pit behind the middle school. This is serious, guys. It's already starting to sound like fun.

Do you think we have enough room for Regina as well? I know. I know what you're probably thinking but she is Henry's mother too and it seems cruel to leave her alone like this.

I guess it's lucky just last week I found my way around an electric razor finally.

A man who came in today had a Yorkshire terrier called Prometheus and I told him it was a funny name for a little dog but he said it wasn't the hero he was named after but the tree. There was this bristlecone pine what some idiot cut down to see how old it was and it turns out it was about five thousand years old. Which I didn't hardly know things could be five thousand years old until I came here but in any case this fellow thought it was sad and named his dog after it. Which can't mean much when the thing won't live more than twenty years no matter how lucky it is but I suppose it's what you'd call a gesture.

Anyway in a country with five thousand year-old trees I can't feel all that creaky now can I.

Hello? I was told to post here so that's what I'm doing. I was also told I was here not long ago but I don't remember that. I've also never heard of New York or Earth or the year 2013. Is there anyone out there who could enlighten me?

It is curious to know what you would look like had you lived had the opportunity. I suppose I'm getting used to it rather easily.

By the bye, this is Septimus.

Hey guys, I wanted to hit you all up and let you know that I'm around and normal should any of you need me for anything. Probably don't want me to cook for you, but I can go pick up take-out or snacks or you know, chaperon you for those things.

My number is [Number].

hELLO? HELLO?

hello
HI hello

am I doing this correctly?

Hi y’all. I guess that’s the best place to start.

Name is Rogue and I plan on hitting any brown bottle in the next fifteen minutes, so anything you think I should know would be much appreciated before the inebriation begins, because sugar, momma doesn’t have her ‘healing’ abilities anymore. The only other thing I could ask for is maybe a drinking partner for the night.

Any takers? All worlds and timelines invited.

If what I have been told is true, I have been pulled from my universe into an alternate one, where Liara T'soni's life is fictional, it is the Earth's year 2013, and I am now a human being. Apparently there are others from my universe here too, who have been here for some time, even though the version of them from my universe was still there when I left. I assume that means there is still a version of me there too. Which is... odd, but I guess that means I don't need to worry about that universe so much anymore?

That will be difficult to get used to.

And apparently I was here briefly before? I do not remember that.
I'm not sure what to do with myself. If there's no Protheans in this universe, then my entire life's work will not do much good here. I suppose I never really had an excuse to research human culture and customs very thoroughly before - my focus was always on the extinct.

So, um. That is to say hello. My name is Liara T'soni. I am an asari archeologist and information broker. It is nice to 'meet' everyone?

Uhm, hello? I- er, I'm Neville Longbottom? I was told I have friends here, and fami- er, people. I was told I have people? Harry, Ron, Hermione?
