Dr. Banner called me down to the lab to talk test results yesterday. I guess getting hurled through time and space and dimensions wasn't good for my molecular stability. He estimates 356 days before I'm too insubstantial to have solid interaction with the world, and about a year after that until I dissipate completely.
He says SHIELD can put the best scientific minds in multiple dimensions to work on this. He didn't promise me anything. That's good, I guess. I mean, if I'd gone in there and he was like "We will find a way to fix this," at this point I would've just wondered what he was selling. Everyone else has been, you know? But he said they'd do what they can, and that they've got plenty of really brilliant refugees here that can put a lot of time and energy toward this, not like with Dr. Pym having a million other things that were more important.
So there it is. They'll try. And if it doesn't work, I've got a year left before I'm a ghost and two before my body's completely gone. And of course it'll mean a million and one more tests, when I really want to just turn into CO2 or maybe just scream every time I walk in anything that looks like a lab.
And I'm sorry I'm dumping all this on you. I just had to tell somebody, and I didn't want to like...make a public service announcement. I don't know if I should tell the others at all. I mean, if any of the treatment ideas work it'd look like I was just attention-whoring, and if they don't, everybody'll figure it out when I can't pick up a hamburger anymore.
I don't know what to do, or say, or anything. Unless I get a Miracle of Science, I'll maybe live to see 19.

I'm sorry I didn't say it yesterday, but I wanted to say it now: Thanks. For trying to help, and for being straight with me. And for being so nice when I lost it in the CT machine. I haven't had good luck with sciencey types before, but so far you seem pretty okay.

Dr. Banner called me down to talk. Thanks to the Tesseract, I've only got a year or so before I'm too insubstantial to interact with the solid world, and maybe a year after that before I dissipate all the way into nothing. He's pulling together all the super smart scientists, and they're going to try to fix me. No promises, but they'll try.
In case they can't, I'm going to start a bucket list and get on with checking it off. Feel free to start submitting ideas.

Here's a "getting to know you" question: if you had to name one thing that you've done that you think everybody should experience before they die, what would it be?
