Gis was completely oblivious to what had happened to Carl and Nolan. For that matter, he had no idea Ethan was in the process of testing the serum on three more people. For the now teenage delivery man he was simply focused on getting his work done.
While not exactly thrilled to be 19 again, he had to admit he looked incredible. Gus had always been rather skinny, a high metabolism meant that despite his best efforts he could gain no weight. As he now flexed his biceps in the bathroom mirror he smiled.
"Okay maybe this isn't so bad," he said quietly. Lifting his shirt, Gus couldn't help but smile. An actual six pack of abs with well defined pecs. Gone was Gus's flat stomach and undefined chest, replaced by the body of a young man who appeared to be a track star.
"Wow just look at me," he said in wonder. "I've been hitting the gym for years and could never get close to these results." Glancing at his face, Gus was somewhat disappointed by his boyish features. "Well its not perfect," he whispered, rubbing his hand along his face. Gus's blond hair had always meant that even when he went days without shaving it looked smooth. Now, it looked like he could go a week perhaps longer.
"If Dr. Dunn can figure out a way to give people this body without making them younger he'll be rich."
Gus now pulled himself away from his reflection, he still had work to do. The packages weren't going to deliver themselves and he had already spent far too much time gazing at his athletic body. Pushing the cart into the mail room, the 19 year old now went about gathering the packages together.
Gus was unaware though that, like the others, he too was slowly growing younger as well. In only a few moments thw 19 year old athlete had become 17. Gus's face lost a bit of maturity, the slight amount of stubble lessening as his muscles thinned slightly. Gus paused for a moment as his slacks sagged ever so slightly on his narrowing waist.
"Thats weird," he thought as he examined himself. "Maybe gaining all this muscle made me lose some fat around my midsection." Gus now cinched his belt as tight as it would go as he continued loading his cart.
Still the teen grew younger. Gus's face now rounding as he became 16. As he continues to backtrack in age, he now began tobrelive puberty in reverse. Becoming 15 Gus muscles began to thin as he shrank in height. By the time the boy became 14 he paused, taking a deep breath.
"Huh guess my stamina took a hit with the serum," he said quietly, not noticing the rising pitch of his voice. "Guess my body is still trying to get accustomed to the change."
Gus now went back to work, loading the cart up to almost overflowing as he usually did. Wiping some sweat from his brow, Gus now looked towards the top shelf. He always waited to grab those packages for last. Each and everytime he would end up kicking himself before laughing. Still, no matter what he would always do the samething. A bad habit he refused to break.
As Gus now reached towards the high shelf, he paused. Usually Gus had to reach to grab these packages, now he found himself on tip toe, straining to get these packages. "Huh thats so weird," a now 13 year old Gus whispered.
Gus paused, still oblivious to the fact he had grown even younger. As Gus now became a blond haired boy of 12 he still had no idea he had become a child once more.
