Who: Henry Pym Jr and OPEN
What: little kid is lost in a new demension
Where: about a block or two from the Villas.
When: Monday evening.

One second, Pym had been standing with his siblings, celebrating their victory over Ultron with Tony and the Scavengers… and with the next blink he was standing in an unfamiliar part of Machine City. “Uh… guys…” His voice hung on the wind around him, with no response. He was absolutely torn between his own curiosity and concern over wandering alone. He had always been told not to do that, which is why when he did things he knew he shouldn’t, he always brought Azari with him.

The flutter of paper caught his eye, and he read it… but it was still-- it didn’t really explain anything, did it? Not the how or the why anyway. Sure, it said where, but none of that made sense. He’d never heard of goodland before--- and this sort of looked like Machine City-- but cleaner maybe? And definitely more people.

Kicking a rock, Pym decided to move towards the building where it looked like most of the people were going in and out of. He tried to think about all the training games they played, and it made him feel better to know that he could shrink and fly away if he needed to, but honestly, he was too exhausted to do it unless he had to. Still, he kept his arms bent, ready to blast or fight if he needed to.

“Uh… excuse me?!”

Ernie spent the better part of the day using his magic to help clean up the city. He liked feeling useful, but seeing the city in shambles reminded him of the war, which caused him to lose sleep at night. Still, he did the best he could with the fallen signs and broken windows before his stomach told him it was dinner time. He was about to head inside when he heard a small voice behind him. "Hello?" He turned to the child he didn't know.

"oh... uh..." Pym wasn't exactly sure what his first question should be. He had several of them, "Hi. I'm Pym... well, my siblings call me Pym. My name is actually Henry... but Tony only calls me that when I'm in trouble, so I guess you can just call me Pym too."

He thrust the letter that had fallen at him towards the stranger, pointing to the bit about the villa. "Um. I guess I'm looking for this place. Or ... have you seen uh... I tall guy around this tall with red hair and like a shield. Or my sister--- she's tall and blond and has a sword and uses big asgaridan words like 'forsoothe' or Azari is closer to my height and he wears all black. Have you seen any of them? Or Tony. Uh. He's old?"

The boy was obviously new and Ernie thought he was remarkably calm considering the situation. "This is Ostrich's Villa," he told Pym. "I'm Ernie." He glanced over the note and nodded. Pym was on his floor. "I know a Tony Stark," Ernie added. "And a Torunn and a James match your descriptions." Ernie had a pretty small social circle, but he paid attention to the network and he got to see many different OV residents while fighting the monsters.

Pym's eyes lit up and his whole body seemed to relax when Ernie confirmed that his family was there. That was something at the very least. "Yeah! That's them. I mean, probably. They are hard to miss."

"So, uh. Are you one of Francis' people? The Scavengers? I don't think I've ever seen this part of Machine City, or uh, goodlands I guess. Seems like Ultron didn't destroy it as much as the other parts."

Now Ernie was lost, but he figured Pym was talking about his reality. "This isn't Machine City," he explained. "Do you know anything about science or magic?" He launched into a kid-friendly explanation (or so he hoped). "This is a place created by those two things. It pulls people from different realities." He pulled out his wand and flicked it so that the note floated again. "See, I'm a wizard. I'm not from around here either." He then presented his cell phone, something he was still getting used to. "We can use this to contact your family."

"I'm pretty good at science," Pym patted his temple with his middle and pointer fingers. "Tony says I have a brain like my dads, and he was one of the greatest scientists. He made the particles that allow me to shrink to the size of a molecule."

Pym's eyebrows knit together at the explanation that they were from different universes. His eyes widened a bit, "This isn't my fault is it? I grew for the first time, and when I grow I borrow mass from other dimensions, and ... that didn't do this though, right?" He seemed to calm though, when Ernie pulled out his cell phone and said that they could contact his family. "Yeah, alright, that would be good. Uh. Please."

The child could shrink. Well, nothing surprised Ernie since his arrival in Goodland. However, before that thought could sink in, Pym mentioned "growing" and borrowing mass from other dimensions. Ernie quickly summed up that the kid had powers. "No, Pym, it is not your fault. This place has been around nearly two years already." He smiled softly. "Here..." He showed him his phone again and demonstrated how to connect his account to the network. "Go on and write them. Tell them you are on the sixth floor. They'll know where you are."

	"Oh. Okay. Cool then." Pym nodded along with a little bit of a grin. He watched as Ernie showed him the phone, and began typing out a message to the network, throwing up a quick post about his arrival. "Thanks, Ernie." Pym beamed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You are welcome." Ernie was always a bit stilted, but he wasn't cold. He was just extremely proper. "Are you hungry? It is dinner time. We should get up to our floor." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pym_jr 2021-02-15 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	Pym nodded wildly, "Oh yeah, like I just helped fight Ultron and stuff, so I am pretty hungry. Like I could eat a horse or something." "Oh! You live on the same floor as me?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Then come along, this way," Ernie said, gesturing to the doors. "Be careful of the ostriches." He still didn't know what was going on with those birds. "I'm one of your guardians technically. Frigga, she is your sister's grandmother, is the other." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's okay. My siblings are here, I don't really need a guardian." Pym said with a grin as he walked along side Ernie. "Oh! Runey's grandmother? No way! I bet Torunn likes that, she was sad to be the only Asgardian at home, I think." "This is the biggest building I think I've ever seen." He said casually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ernie chuckled. "The entity disagrees. Anyone under eighteen gets a guardian of some sort." He led Pym into the elevator. "It is pretty big, yeah, we don't have buildings like this at home either. I'm from England." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pym_jr 2021-02-15 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Pym just shrugged his shoulders at Ernie, "Whatever, I guess. But I'm pretty good at staying out of trouble." Pym's eyes roamed around the elevator, it reminded him of sneaking into Tony's lab and he was pretty curious. "I'm from..." Pym wasn't really sure. "The artic, In a dome. I had my own house though. So that was cool." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ernie_macmillan 2021-02-15 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	"You lived alone?" Ernie was curious now. He was mighty young, but he also knew different realities and times had different ideas about children. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well, not alone, not really. Tony lived in the main house and he fed us and stuff. But we all had our own like Mini-house. You know, so we could have our own space. There was also a lot of outside space for playing and training and stuff. We didn't even know it was artic until Ultron attacked." Pym bounced on his heels a bit. "It was really fun. There was only the five of us."

	"A secluded world?" Ernie asked. "You were hiding from Ultron?" He quickly deduced the information from the snippets the boy gave him. "Here is our floor," he added as he rested a hand on Pym's back to guide him to their rooms. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

'Yep." Pym said a little more matter-of-factly than someone might have normally. "Ultron killed our superhero parents and I guess he thought we would be a threat too since we have a lot of the same powers of our parents and so we hid away until we accidentally told him where we were."

He moved with Ernie, looking around as he did so. "So, there are a lot of kids here?"

	The child was remarkably happy for going through all that. Ernie barely had time to process the information before he was onto the next topic. "A few on this floor and then a few more in the building." He pushed the door to Pym's room open. "What do you think?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
