Things had escalated pretty quickly, and that was an understatement. They'd kept up with the news, had combed the papers over breakfast and listened to the reports, morning, afternoon, and evenings while working; they'd had to go on the run after the fallout of the debacle with the Accords - a twist to their plans, sure, but then again there was only so much they could do studying the potentials of the quantum realm. The new information provided by Scott prior to everything rolling downhill had been huge, but it also led to a hell of a lot more questions and only one person knew the answers.

Then everything had to be flipped upside down again. Convenient, as always. But no one ever said scientific breakthroughs were simple matters.

New York was a place unfamiliar to Hope, being that her headquarters - and the headquarters of the now-flattened Pym Tech - had been across the country in California. But she'd find her way here, somehow. Alone. Without her father or Scott, which caused a pang that felt suspiciously like a side stitch - but she was attached to them, she had to admit. Getting along without them would be difficult but she would do it, and hopefully have something to show for it in the long run.

But first, tea.

Sounded right. You, as a human, floating through the Quantum Realm? You were literally a speck of dust. And still continuing to shrink, while trapped in some world where nothing existed and nothing mattered - not even you. It gave her a shudder just to think of it.

"My mother - " Hope paused, sipping on her tea, blue eyes cloudy with the memory, "...she may still be in the Quantum Realm. She worked for SHIELD, back in her time. Nanotechnology is her thing, our thing - me and my father too - but while on a mission, she shrunk herself to disarm a Soviet missile, in order to save millions of lives. We just...never knew what happened to her after that."

There was a chance, wasn't there? Maybe Dr. Strange had even heard of her, stranger things (no pun intended) had happened.

"I don't know much about the mystic arts, but I was hoping to continue my research here. I don't suppose you know of anyone looking for a nanotechnology expert?" she chuckled softly.

Strange wished, even in his astral form, that he could have seen more. He wanted to see and know everything. But his time there had been nothing more than a brief glimpse. He looked regretful, since that seemed like it wasn't a place one would want to get lost in, even if it was a heroic act.

"I'm sorry. Your mother sounds like she was very brave and selfless," Stephen said, issuing his condolences. He didn't know anything about Hope's mother, other than what he was told. And it would be difficult to pinpoint one person in a realm that was so infinite. There was one thing that stood out in his mind, though, and that might offer some measure of hope. "When the Ancient One showed me what I believe was the Quantum Realm? She made it seem like she was showing me something benevolent. I don't want to offer false hope, but...."

Dr. Strange sighed and shrugged a shoulder, gazing down at what was left of his tea as though it might hold the answers to every mystery. If only that were the case.

"I do know there's some scientists here. Tony Stark has a lab in the city, and there's a research center upstate. And Princess Shuri of Wakanda has a private lab in the penthouse at the corner of Church and Chambers St in Tribeca. If you need an apartment to stay in, she's taking in some of the new arrivals. Stark's hiring people on. Under the table. They're on the network, if you want to contact them."

Maybe some of those options would help.

Hope tried to imagine the look on Scott's face if she told him she was working for Tony Stark - it wouldn't be a pleased look, that was for sure. But she was still a little bitter about how he just ran off to assist 'Team Cap' without considering how it might affect the people close to him. And look what happened, they all basically had to go into hiding. On the run. Because of the fight between Cap and Iron Man, because of the Accords. It was something Hope wasn't involved in, so she couldn't be expected to pick sides now.

Besides, Scott wasn't here. It felt a bit like an icy trickle down her back, realizing that, but it was unfortunately true. So while he wouldn't be pleased (and Hank really wouldn't either, for that matter - but his beef was with Howard Stark anyway; old SHIELD politics that she also wasn't involved in), hopefully he would understand later.

"Thanks," she said, offering Stephen a smile. For sharing his experiences involving the Quantum Realm and the recommendations. "I'll look around, see what I can find. And thanks for the welcome package too."

It seemed like Hope would settle in just fine. It was nice to find another sensible person around, who was able to thoughtfully navigate through a mess like this. Considering she studied another dimension that he laid eyes on before, one that not a lot of people could fathom, he wondered at her part in the greater scheme of things. Surely, with her expertise, it was going to be significant.

"You're welcome." Strange finished the remains of the tea and looked appreciative. "Thank you for the tea recommendation. And for being so understanding about our shared...situation. I'll pay for my tea on the way out. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask."

He stood up and one point of the cloak's collar waved a tiny toodle-loo of a farewell.

"Take care, Hope," Strange said, before he departed. The normal way. Toward the exit.
