One moment Karia was talking to her mother while enjoying the tiny squirming of her three shrunken captives, the next thing she knew was that her clothes were slipping off her, the shoes dropping onto the floor, and that everything was becoming larger.  The three people inside her were shrinking down in size with the girl though and she stood up on the sofa to glance at her sleeves that had grown too big for her arms and were getting larger still.  She glanced back up at her mum in disbelief and shock.<br/>"Mum?  But why?"  She muttered as she used her power to wrench the gun from Juliet's hand then lost sight of it as she disappeared into one of her own socks.  The next thing she heard was the distant clatter of the gun dropping to the floor.  The way the gun had been calibrated after Natasha had demonstrated the workings of it to her mum meant that Karia was now less than half an inch tall and her sock stunk of sweat from all the running around she'd been doing this morning.  Carefully, she levitated herself out of the sock and looked around at the room...if she could somehow just get to the gun and recalibrate it to grow her, she could use her telekinesis to press the trigger.  Her levitation was quite swift for someone so small and within a few seconds she was down on the floor by the gun using her telekinesis on the calibration screen towards an increase in size.  Maybe her mum meant to punish her after all and Karia just couldn't take that risk.<br/><br/>In her rear, the two men had been pressed closer, Dane reaching the tiny lab assistant that was half his height.<br/>"Hello, is someone there?"  The assistant muttered while trying not to gag on the smell or taste surrounding him.
