For the first time since this whole shrinking mess started, Steve was able to feel somewhat relaxed. Being surrounded by beakers and test tubes just had that affect on him. He gave Nicole specific instructions and she would follow them to the letter.
'At least she's listening to me now.' He thought. The pair weren't creating anything special, only green sludge.
"Ta-da!" The giantess cheered as she held up a large beaker for her tiny father to see. "Lime green slime!"
"I can see that." Steve responded. "Good job."
Nicole playfully rolled her eyes. "You told me what to do to make it better than what the instructions say. I expect nothing less from a great scientist."
The anger Steve felt at his daughter hadn't completely vanished but cooled ever so slightly. Working in his field of expertise helped calm his mind and now he could think more rationally. He needed to find a way to separate his youngest from the shrink ray and undo the shrinking process. He was big enough to calibrate the device, he just needed a good enough distraction.
"Okay, I think it's time for you to clock out." Nicole spoke.
Steve blinked. "What do you mean?"
"You made science happen, now it's time to go home and see how Lisa is doing?" She answered.
"Oh." Was all he could say. That made sense.
Nicole grabbed him by the waist and airlifted him back to the car. She drove him out of the room and into a quiet upstairs hallway. Once she returned to her parent's room, she was greeted to a rather odd sight. Her mother and Patricia were still there along with Lisa, but now there were bunch of action figures littering the bed that were no doubt her brother's that he kept in storage in the basement. Even the tub he kept them in labeled 'action figures' was on the floor.
"Do I even want to ask?" Nicole turned to her friend.
"We got bored of playing house and decided to play warriors instead." Patricia shrugged. "Check this out!"
Her mother flipped her phone over to shower her youngest daughter and husband and video of Lisa dressed in plastic armor along with a sword cutting a path through a bunch of toys that were surrounding the dollhouse. Nicole blinked and so too did her father.
"That's actually pretty cool." Nicole said.
"I know, right." Patricia grinned.
"At least it's safe." Debbie whispered.
Nicole placed the car on the bed and as she went to talk to her friend, Lisa began to approach her father. She was still wearing the same doll's clothes, but now there was the plastic armor covering her arms and torso, as well as the plastic sword sheathed at her side. If he had to describe her, she looked like a dolled up version of Xena the Warrior Princess.
"Hey, Xena." He half-joked.
"Oh, ha-ha!" She fake laughed. "I'm uncomfortable and sweaty."
"I was stuck making green sludge." Steve responded.
Lisa leaned on the hood of the car. "I take it you've calmed down?"
"Pretty much, yeah." Steve answered. "So you all want downstairs to get Derek's old toys."
"Yeah." Was all Lisa said.
"Did you see Derek and Bianca by any chance?" Steve asked. He was curious to know how his son was holding up.
"Well..."
