Trick Arrow 2

Kate stumbled forwards, tripping over the edge of the costume’s neck as she struggled to fully untangle herself. She’d almost gotten a heart attack when the world had gone black as she’d been shrunken inside her costume; now she just had to get out of it. Sometimes she’d gotten her head lost in while full sized, and it was proving just as tricky while shrunken.

She mumbled a string of swear words, and fell flat on her face. Kate wriggled a few inches that might as well been several feet for her, trying to ignore how weird the fabric felt against her body. This was normally against her while she was naked, she told herself. It wasn’t weird.

Well, no, it was weird. It was very weird.

She got back to her feet when she was back on the actual floor. Only a couple of inches tall, the pile of clothes behind her very nearly towered over her.

“Well this is great,” Kate mumbled.

There was a sound from downstairs. Kate’s eyes went wide. Oh, right, Lucky.

Her dog was normally sleeping at around this time. The last thing she wanted was to be hanging around when he woke up though - she wasn’t sure she wanted to be smaller than an excitable dog.

“Er, wear off, please?” Kate said. “Pretty please?”

She fidgeted, looking around the expansive floor of her apartment with wide, pleading eyes. Her face couldn’t help but go hot.

Okay, plan, plan, she could come up with a plan… She was a shoe-in for an Avenger! Well, probably. She could come up with some solution.

Maybe her phone? Assuming her voice was loud enough, if she could dial, she could call Clint and…

And what? “Hi, thanks for the trick arrows. Funny story, I accidentally shrunk myself with one and now I’m naked in my apartment and hiding from my dog. Send help.”

Kate blushed. One, that was not so not a story she wanted to tell her idol. Two, oh he’d never trust her again if she messed this up, would he? If the first time she had her own trick arrows, she managed to do this to herself…

Kate swallowed. She looked down at herself. No, no, there was no way this story was ever going to make it back to Clint.

Which left what exactly? He was the only person who might be able to undo these arrows, or knew the person that made them. She was…

She paused. Wait, no. Surely there was a growth arrow too? There had to be. If she could find her way back to the package, she could find the inverse from the shrink arrow - a size-change arrow to bring her back to normal size.

It would just be up…

Kate tilted her neck back. And back. And back. She craned her head to look at the table far, far above her.

Kate gulped.
