Never-Finished Fic: De-Aged Leverage
Since we're about halfway through, I thought this would be a good time for my one fictional person fic. If you want to know what I was going to do with this story, I talked about it here. This is just the very beginning.
Sophie and Nate blinked at the three children standing where, only a moment ago, the rest of their team had stood. The girl was about seven and clutched a stuffed rabbit.

"This is not my nana's living room."
"How are we going to do this job now?" Sophie protested.
Nate rubbed his forehead. "Plan B is now figuring out what happened and finding our team."

"How'd you know that?" Alec demanded. Parker nodded and clutched her rabbit closer. Eliot subtly shifted his stance to be a little looser, a little more ready to move.
Nate's attempted explanation went nowhere with Eliot. Parker remained silent. Alec started spinning sci fi theories no one else listened to.
