I double checked just to be sure. Sorry about the extra work.
This image isn't working for me. Is it a problem on my end or with the image itself?
Those should say 'Anna Marie'.

"You-?" Henry actually turns away from his work station to stare at me. "You actually did it?"
I tilt my head slightly to the left. "Yes..? I did say that was the next step."
"Well… Sure, but I didn't think you'd actually…" He shakes his head. "How did Tony take it?"
"Phlegmatically. He's still trying to work out how I talked Ronan the Accuser down." I shrug. "I asked him if he wanted me to go in disguise…" I shake my head. "He told me not to bother. According to him, he's got a bet with Doctor Richards going on how long it takes to blow up in my face."
"Don't let them put you off. Victor is an amazing man. Some of the designs he's come up with could put human civilization forward a century."
I nod. "I'm more interested in utility than raw sophistication, but I doubt that his pride would let him work like that."
He frowns curiously. "Like what?"
"A way to extract microplastics from the environment? A way to remove feminising hormones from the water supply? A way to erase radioactivity? Energy teleportation so that we could fuel the Earth using solar panels around the sun? Virus-hunting nanobots?"
"Ah-."
I shake my head, waving my right hand back and forth. "Okay, not nanobots, there's no way that would end well."
"No. No, that's-." He shudders a very small shudder. "No."
"Right. It's-. Building a faster than light drive would be an amazing technical achievement, but it wouldn't really fix any of the problems we have at the moment." I look over at his work station… And I have no idea what that is. "What are you working on?"
"Infrasonics. Are you familiar with the subject?"
I shake my head. "I know some sound frequencies produce feelings of unease, but I can't say I've studied it in any detail."
He nods. "I'm hoping that I can find a frequency that does the opposite."
I nod sympathetically. "Prisoner rehabilitation?"
"Maybe if they were calmer they'd actually listen to the people trying to help them." He shrugs. "It wouldn't be a permanent solution, obviously. Even if I found the exact frequency, they'd still have to process their traumas and learn how to do something productive with their skills, but it would be a start."
"How about colour?"
"Color?"
"I'm guessing that The Raft was grey on the inside? With fluorescent lighting?"
"Huh." His eyes grow distant. "Not throughout the entire building, but in a lot of places. I'll look into it."
"I'd suggest therapeutic gardening, but-"
"We tried that, the sharp-"
"-gardening tools-."
"-objects-. Yeah." He smiles ruefully for a moment. "So what's Anna Marie doing?"
"School prom, actually."
"I…" He frowns. "Thought she wasn't going."
"Yeah, and Janet talked to her about that, and it brought up the whole 'touching people' thing-."
"Ah. Look, I-. I know the.. suit wasn't really-."
"Nonono, the suit was an improvement. Not perfect, but it would have been ridiculous to expect a solution to a problem like that right away."
"Maybe you could ask Doom about it."
Ah… "I-. Don't-. Think that would be a good idea. That gives him too much leverage. When it comes to Anna Marie I want someone I trust working on the problem."
It looks like that made him feel worse. "And I'm playing around with the world's biggest sound system. So, she went?"
"Yeah."
"Going stag, or..?"
"I located a young masculine humanoid by the name of Aaron Stack. His skin's synthetic, so her power doesn't register it as being 'alive'."
"'Masculine humanoid'? He's an alien?"
"Android. Though I think he prefers 'robot', which… Legally, is probably correct."
Because he's probably not legally a person. Or… It might be that he would be if it was up to the courts, but at the moment he's firmly in the hands of a government research facility with military ties, and while they're not going to be dicks about things now that they've got an X-series robot that actually works, they're not going to be happy if he starts wanting to go to college, vote in elections or foreswear violence and take a job in a petting zoo.
Henry nods. "Steve not tracked down Jim Hammond yet?"
I shake my head. "Trail went dead in Nevada, and since I have no idea what Horton Cells look like, I can't just 'completely violate the unwarranted searches amendment' and do a general scan for him."
"I'm pretty sure Tony was joking when he said that."
"Oh yes, and if I knew what I was looking for I'd do it anyway, but…" I shrug. "I don't. And none of the old pictures are good enough for facial recognition scans, so that's out too."
"I suppose finding him would be like finding a needle in a haystack." He thinks for a moment. "And you're okay with him dating Anna Marie?"
"He seemed like a well-mannered lad. And… I think that Anna Marie and I are both realistic about.. things. Even if you made her some sort of energy field that let her touch people enough for normal social interactions, intimate interactions represent another level of challenge. Maybe they'll hit it off, maybe this is a one-off thing, I don't know. I'm sure that Janet's going to grill her when she gets back, and I'll just stand in the background looking stoical. Unless she's visibly upset, in which case…"
A construct shotgun forms in my hand. I hold it up for a moment in an attempt to get a smile… But he's not looking, so I let is dissipate.
"Yeah, Janet's… Really taken to her. What was it..? Made you decide to.. involve her?"
"I needed someone who could cover female-specific issues. Janet was one hundred percent of the women I knew at the time; I hadn't been on this Earth for long, and my.. mother and my sister are back on my original Earth. Honestly, she's…" I briefly run through the women I've met since in my mind. "Still the woman I'd ask."
"You know, we… Never really talked about it." I raise my eyebrows interrogatively. "Having kids. And then, we-. The Avengers… Happened…"
"Are you..? Having some sort of problem..? Between the two of you?"
"At this point…" He turns back towards his work station. "I honestly think she'd be happier dating you."
"A-uh?"
"She's the mother of-"
"Elder sister."
"-your daughter, you actually… Like fighting. And I-. I can't. I just… Can't relate to that-. I… I.. j-. I don't think we're… Right, for each other."
"Aah. Uh-huh. Ah. This is… A surprise to me. Um. I'm… Just going to go and… Speak to her..?"
"Yeah. You… Do that."

Just double checked, and the problem was the wifi I was using. Also, there is one last correction.
That hyphen should be removed.
I can't wait to see the fallout of this little mess. I assume Hank won't go after Paul because he's literally telling him to date Janet, but I doubt Janet is just going to do that.

Just reread the latest story part and noticed this error. That should say 'ask'.

Oh, boy. The genius with a whole newsstand worth of issues, none of which he's probably even considered therapy for. It makes him an incredible hypercognitive, but he so easily falls into malign methods. Mad Science, basically.
Ronan was, at least, just threatening to call in a bigger fish and see what rattled loose. Quite likely
At the very least, Doom has to be seen as the mind behind such accomplishments. To have humanity knowing Doom is the one responsible for every improvement... To some degree, he's a bit like Luthor, in that one respect.
...The last could be useful against Sublime. Not that letting any human know that would be a good idea.
Grand understatement there.
The joy of being an ordinary man with a powerful tool amongst several geniuses...
The Brown Note, basically. Though the Note itself isn't really a thing, the concept behind infrasonics is a studied thing. Basically, low-frequency sounds that unsettle the human senses and thus the mind relying on them.
So... Something of a 'Happy note'? That would have to be very subjective...
And of course, some of them might not want to do productive things with their skills. They might want to turn people into dinosaurs, for instance.
For instance, the way a nice, pale blue glow feels welcoming and calming.
Oh god.
I can hear the tubes buzzing now. Never have I felt so much sympathy for supervillains.And you know someone with earth-based powers would manage to dig their way out. Even if the space was entirely metallic.
Still fun to see an Xavier's school with enough students to have a decent prom. As far back as the 'New Mutants' comics, the kids had to go to the local town school's socials (since they attended some classes there.)
(EDIT: Dang keyboard's getting old. Some keys losing reliability...)
To be fair, that is a traumatic matter for her.
Honestly, talking to Reed about it might have helped, but that would have needed Hank to consider that sort of collaboration.
And Doom may decline, stating Doom is not sufficiently learned about Mutants... Okay, the likelihood of Doom wording it that way is incredibly small, but I still think Doom might not be interested. I mean, how large is Latveria's mutant population, hmm?
Hey, you go where the science ideas lead. Even if they're not great ones at first glance..
Very specific wording there. But given the number of non-Human sophonts on Earth at any given moment... And yes, I'm counting Mutants amongst the Human population.
Even if all the words English has for 'artificial person' are
It could be worse, he could work in an insurance company, like that one alternate reality seen in NextWave.
I suppose he hasn't really worried about tracking down Namor, either. If he heard about Steve's return, you know he would come looking to greet him.
Facial recognition would also not work if the person being looked for never comes in view of the cameras doing it. And depending on continuity, The Human Torch might be anywhere. In hiding somewhere remote, buried in a tomb, or even some government lab somewhere...
Just be sure to get the full story...
...Before you go off half-cocked. And you could have cocked the construct, with the appropriate sounds, to get Hank's attention, you know...
A lot of the women he's run into... Not really the maternal type, no.
And has Jan noticed any problems yet, or is this all in Hank's head because he's convinced her can't have anything nice?
Oh, boy. Here we go. Henry Pym with romance and emotional issues... Never ends well.
Choose your response very carefully, AMH!OL. Because Hank like this gets crazy.
Oh man... He's either going to turn into Yellowjacket, or somehow invent a Power Ring out of jealousy.
You just know Hank took that last reply so, so wrong. Hopefully AMH!OL can talk to Jan about getting him therapy before he goes full Yellowjacket on them. How is it that the MCU version is so well adjusted, I wonder... Such is the peril of a genius mind, in a universe where genius and madness are like the flip of a coin...

'ask'
Hela might have an opinion on the matter, too.
Ultron's long since come and gone in the EMH timeline. It looks like we're tracking the dates in-universe as the air dates of the episode (April 22, 2012, being when the epsiode featuring Ronan aired, for instance); since we're now in June 2012, Ultron was fourteen months ago.
Yellowjacket, on the other hand, made his debut in an episode that first aired (in Australia) on June 14, 2012...
...which was two days ago.
Oh dear.

Thank you, corrected.
Technically correct, but you missed an opportunity to use the term 'intergalactic war' accurately.
The Mutants who say Ne?
Since they were building combat robots, the masculine frame was a superior choice.

...I was going to say something about Jocasta, but then went to look up when she made her debut in EMH, and realised I have to qualify:
...because it's been long enough I'd forgotten that Ultron came back, and Jocasta debued, in an episode that first aired in Australia (I suspect the in-universe dates may reflect UK air dates, hence it being "a few days later"?) on June 13, 2012.
Oh dear.

I honestly forgot about her. Does Hank not know about Paul's relationship with her?

Yes, yes, Marvel is fucked, as always.
The question I have is: how fucked is Paul?

With how the last chapter ended, and before following the hyperlink, I momentarily thought that Anna Marie and Aaron really did shag in the cupboard.
This sounds concerning from a comic book perspective. Almost guaranteed to turn out badly.
'it'
Feels very real, making some sort of joke or whatever that doesn't get noticed. The sort of imperfection common to human interaction that fiction often smooths away. Though I imagine here it's also serving the role of indicating Henry's distraction due to his concerns about his relationship.
Was he only dating Hela in the other Marvel universe? I have no idea whether it was this one or not.

In 90s X-Men world, he's engaged to Anna Marie. In Avengers: EMH world, he adopted Anna Marie and started dating Hela after spending so much time with her as part of a bargain.
