In all honestly, with the buzz going around with the deaging, Jr. was not only happy that it wasn't contagious, but happy that he didn't end up getting affected by whatever caused it in the first place. Heavens forbid something could have happened and he wound up going back too many years. It unnerved him, the idea of his memories and mentality reverting to that of him when he was a child. He hated his upbringing enough, and reliving it was something he'd already done too many times for comfort.

He was heading through the city unsuspectingly. And though he could sometimes get a feel from others when it came to their own power levels, he wasn't really paying attention - defenses for the most part, down.
