Sliding Scale

Summary:

“Uh, Marc.” Steven’s voice was hoarse. “We’ve seen ‘Honey I Shrunk the Kids’, right?”

Marc and Steven have been free from Khonshu for two months. Yet for some reason they've woken up with the god breathing down their neck, missing time, and the creeping realization that they're not alone in the body.

Oh, and they're five and three quarters inches tall.

Chapter Text

“Uh, Marc.” Steven’s voice was hoarse. “We’ve seen ‘Honey I Shrunk the Kids’, right?”

Marc came forward, suppressing a groan. “Look, Steven, if you want to have a movie night, feel free--HOLY SHIT!”

He screwed his eyes shut. “Steven, tell me you somehow got ahold of a fly agaric mushroom.”

‘A-a what?! What is that?!’ Steven’s panicked voice pounded Marc’s brain as he let Marc control the body.

“It’s a toxic mushroom that causes macropsia.”

‘What the hell is macropsia?’

“It’s a psychoactive side effect of---it makes stuff look big, okay?”

‘Oh. Uh, no, I haven’t had any mushrooms.’

Marc opened their eyes. “Yeah, I was afraid of that.”

They were in the flat. Half-packed boxes of books were scattered everywhere; they’d both agreed to find a new place to live in case any of Harrow’s people were at large. Things had been quiet in the two months since Ammit’s capture, but they couldn’t just trust that it would remain so.

Marc walked to the edge of the bed. It was roughly the size of a SHIELD hover carrier (he’d seen a few of those back in his service days).

‘What the hell happened to us?!’ Steven peered out of the reflection of one of the buttons on the duvet cover.

“That is an excellent question.”

Notes:

Whelp, my usual plot bunny has come back with a vengeance. As my long time readers know, there's something about taking a physically strong character and making them teeny that just tickles my brain. What can I say? Folks seem to enjoy it.

Small personal note; I'm in the middle of moving (life imitates art, am I right?). As such even though I've written quite far ahead, I won't be posting new chapters every day (or perhaps even every other day) like some of my other stories. 2-3 new chapters a week is a lot more likely. Thanks for bearing with me.
