Steve looked towards the eager face of wife and back to the terrified face of the shrunken woman. This was wrong on so many levels. Science was meant to help mankind, not harm it. His wife had broken his golden rule and he was not okay with this.
Testing his acting chops, he decided gave her the best fake smile he could muster. "I can think of a few good ideas. May I?"
Debbie smiled, completely unaware of her husband's true intentions. He held his hand out and she wasted little time in dumping the crying woman onto his palm.
Li tumbled into the older man's palm from above and was left lying flat on her back. She looked up to see the mischievous he had and felt her blood run cold. She just wanted to go home.
"I'm going to go make dinner, you two kids have fun now." Debbie teased before leaving the pair alone. Once she was gone, Steve sighed and gave the smaller woman an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry about my wife, Miss..."
"L-Li." She stuttered out.
"I'm sorry about my wife, Li." Steve apologized, much to her surprise. "Science is meant to help not harm. Don't worry, I'm not actually going to do anything with you."
"Y-You're not?" She asked, allowing herself to feel the tiniest shred of hope.
Steve shook his head. "Nope. In fact, let's get you back to normal."
Li couldn't believe what she was hearing. She expected the woman's husband to be cruel like her but instead he was kind and was going to fix her. She felt herself crying again. "T-Thank you."
"There's no need to thank me. Just lay low in my pocket, alright." He finished before dropping the girl off in his pants pocket. He the proceeded to go downstairs to the kitchen where Debbie was cooking and spotted the shrink ray on the table. "Mind if I borrow the shrink ray, honey?"
"Go ahead." Debbie answered as she was more focused on dinner. Steve smiled and took the ray for himself before returning to the master bedroom.
"Well, that was easy." He commented as he fished Li out of his pocket. She saw he'd gotten the gun she his wife was holding when she shrunk her and felt her hope rising, along with a little something else. "Ready to get back to normal?"
"Yes please." She nodded.
Steve gently placed her down and the bed and fiddled with the gun's setting. He aimed the barrel and fired, regrowing the woman back to her original height.
The first thing Steve noted was just how pretty she looked even if disheveled. Her work outfit was dirtied, and she reeked of sweat and feet. He walked up to her and was immediately greeted with a hug.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She repeated into his shoulder.
Steve gave her light pat on the back. He still couldn't believe Debbie had terrified this poor woman so. It made him mad. There were definitely going to be consequences for this.
