I never thought New York would be cleaner than California but it is. Even the ants are happy about it. Oh, and by the way? If you DO see ants, please don't squish them. They're probably mine or Hope's. But also don't squish them anyways they're good people--er. Ants.

Private to Hope:

Hey make sure you let me look over your suit after you use it so I can check the circuits. I'm sure you've...been showing Stark stuff or whatever. But anyways, I promised Hank I'd keep maintenance so no particles are escaping and we don't die super un-cool atomic, warping deaths.

Also, If I can find a place to practice sizing, I think I can do better by working bit by bit. I don't need to be 65 feet all the time. Right? Right.

Private to Valkyrie:

I won't say who or how but some thugs have been waltzing around harassing people in Chinatown. The shop owners don't have a lot, but they'd be willing to trade goods. If that's something you're interested in I'll have the ants deliver you the message so no one can link it back and violate my parole yayyyyy.

Private to Doctor Strange:

Mr. Strange? Or, Doctor--you didn't spend those extra years for the degree not wanting that Doctor part right? I have something of an issue. Well not an issue, but I figured you'd be able to give me advice on something. I need a safe area to practice getting bigger without causing destruction or being seen. If that makes sense.

You sound jealous about me showing Stark stuff.

And we can find a place for that. There has to be some out of the way mountainous region or something.

Why would I be jealous about you showing your stuff to Stark?...That sounds really bad. I'm not jealous. And you're definitely not doing that right

I'm asking Doctor Strange. I mean, he built this reality right? Or altered this time? Maybe he can magic something. If not, I'm asking Clint or Natasha. Who are apparently happy to see me and it's really cool.

OH! I told Cap that you and I were a package deal from now on so. We're solid on that, no grey area.

Not even a little? A little bit is sexy.

I'm glad you're making friends. It's been a little more slow-going for me, but you're definitely more personable than me.

Good. And he's fine with it? Not that it matters if he is or isn't.

What?! Isn't that an ego thing? And somewhat of a trust--ok I don't like it. It doesn't mean I don't trust you or anything. But we already established that I just don't like him. So the thought of you guys hanging out kind of makes me ick.

You mean your sparkling smile and 'I'll fuck you up' personality hasn't won anyone over? C'mon. They're going to love you, probably more than me. You definitely hit harder. That's way more useful.

I don't think he understood? Because I don't think he knew there was an Ant Man and a Wasp? But he's totally cool.

I know you trust me, I just think your ick is kind of cute. But I'll still let you check my circuits, if you want.

I went out with Pepper Potts? We had a nice conversation and some girl time. But generally my ability to hit harder means that making friends is also harder.

Well, I'm eager to make my superhero debut.

Your dad would have a stroke if we let Stark 'tinker' with these suits anyways. Besides, I was inside his suit, his wiring skills aren't that great...

Pepper Potts is literally an extension of Tony Stark That's great! No, no, you just need to find other friends who have the same interests--hitting hard being one of them. See, I think you and Natasha would get along great. Maybe we should have gone to that party thing Sam had going on. I'm just not a party dude but next time we should definitely go do the mingle thing.

I'm eager to see. And watch the recipients of those who aren't getting sparring lessons endure what could only be much worse.

My dad would have a stroke about a lot of things I'm currently up to, that's beside the point. Stark's really not that bad, Scott.

Okay, next time we can mingle. Or host our own party? Or is that too ambitious?

What do you mean? I thought you said he was alright?--Yeah. We had a great conversation on the network the other day about me belonging in a cell and I'm really thinking that he is. But we can stop talking about him at any time.

...I'm not sure. I've never hosted a party for a bunch of super heroes before. You're a big boss who managed a lot of people, I don't think that's something you couldn't do.

What if we did like, a group practice thing? That wouldn't be too ambitious.

He is alright, but I'm sure he didn't expect me to start working where I am and also to be contemplating places with you - and speaking of, I found this really great apartment above a tea shop I was trying out and so it would always smell like tea but that's okay, isn't it? It's in this Victorian-looking building. Lots of light, amazing windows. It even has two bedrooms.

What's a group practice thing, exactly? And you do realize that I'll have to invite Stark and Pepper no matter what, right?

Doctor's fine. Or Strange.

Ah. Practice space. I could arrange something in the mirror dimension, if you want. It's where a friend of mine has been practicing. Other than that, all I can suggest is going upstate and finding a nice big green field to romp through.

Strange seems...like I'm calling you a name and I'm not cool with that so we'll go with Doctor.

Ok. Mirror Dimension. Right. Well, see, that sounds a lot like realm jumping and I barely got out of the Quantum Realm so until I can do some further research maybe it's best to stick with the upstate.

Do you know who all is monitoring things in this timeline? SHIELD isn't a thing anymore right? The federal government is definitely not going to be looking up there....

That works. High school was hell with a last name like Strange.

All right. Advice.

Have you talked to Stark? There's the former Avengers compound. Or are you not talking to Stark, after your exchange on the network with him. An exchange that was public. Where the rest of us could read it.

Bypass Stark and ask Pepper Potts. She's his better and more reasonable half. The upstate compound is private property and high security. From what I was told during my first and only real meeting with Stark, the federal government has maintained a hands off policy so far.

I can only imagine. I hate bullies.

Speaking of which...You mean the one where he's being less mature than my ten year old? Yeah. I doubt we're going to be asking favors and doing adult things.

I really hope we're not talking about the compound I robbed. Bypassing him to go to his girlfriend really seems like a very counterproductive thing adding onto the bad sentiments we're already exchanging. Damn.

Uh huh.

Our focus should be on protecting this universe and those living in it. I hate pointing that out that this is all bigger than hurt feelings, bruised egos, and pissing contests. I really hate pointing it out to Stark, which I've done before. Pepper's the best way to get through to him without too much drama happening.

Because, from what I'm gathering, you need practice space without treading into a different dimension. Where you aren't going to get arrested.

That's my best advice. That, or find a field and hope for the best that it's not private property that you're trespassing on.

That is my focus, which is why I contacted you. I just hoped there was a very non-Tony Stark resolution to my problem. But hey. The universe is funny.

Ok, tell me more about this mirror dimension. I thought we already were inside an alternate timeline?

Yeah. Well. Here's the other bit of advice that no one likes hearing, but I had to learn the hard way for myself: Everyone needs to get over themselves. No matter what their last name is.

So. You've chosen door number two - the mirror dimension. A pocket safe space. We've been in an alternate timeline already, and you're now aware of it. You're a copy of an original you that's been here already, sharing the same life experiences thus far. That's all.

That dimension is just one facet of time and space, and any master of the mystic arts in any parallel timeline can create one for you. It's where threats are kept contained for a period of time, so nothing destructive happens in our collective reality. I can push you into it, but after that you're on your own until I remove you again.

I do know that, it being made of magic, means that any magic can be amplified or drawn from that dimension for use.

Before I offer to do this, what is it that you're using it for, precisely?

Doctor, I just wanna help. Whatever I need to do in order to that, I will. I just don't like confrontation--so if I can avoid that, I will.

Well, my suit allows me to adjust the molecules in my body--specifically in size. I've mastered getting smaller. Only recently, Dr. Pym and I have discovered and attempted at me getting bigger. I've only done it a few times and as you can imagine, it's taxing on my body, and--becoming 65 feet tall is just not something I can practice in the city.

I need to practice getting larger and letting the molecules in my body adjust without it becoming so taxing or it drawing attention. If we need me to get large in a fight, right now, I can only do it for so long. And I'm slow--then I'm outta the game. I gotta change that.

You're welcome. I'll send them over now so they should be over in a bit or so with who to contact.

And obviously be discreet. They're like, really scared. Also I think these guys have guns?

Of course. Don't worry, if they're normal guns all they can do is piss me off and then I break them on my knee, usually.
