[It’s been a while since Pym’s been seen around the city. A combination of all-too-justified paranoia and a general lack of knowledge on the surrounding geography has contributed to that. The scant knowledge he has availed himself to isn’t all that comforting, considering his colleagues at the university seemed to know him before he even introduced himself, and the work left for him was already half-completed under his own name. An algorithm based on his own work on quantification of emotions has led him to discard the possibility of his previous stay being an impostor, and while that would be unsettling for most people, when you’ve gone through as many breakdowns and fugue states as Dr. Hank Pym, it becomes terrifying. The only question is, what did he do while he was here?]

Ah. Hello. This is Hank. Hank Pym.

I’ve already been filled in on the fact that somebody—err, that I was here for a while. I was wondering if somebody could fill me in on the details on what I did during that time.

[His not-so-subtle way of asking what he screwed up this time.]

Oh, also, I apologize if anyone has noticed an increase in ants around the dorms lately. I don’t really keep them in an enclosed space, so they seem to have scattered off while I was missing.

Hey there, Hank. We kind of got on a first name basis, despite never being on it before. [Which is probably creepy for him to hear, considering how he is. She pauses.]

I think giving Matt Murdock a call might be a good idea at this point.

I'll... take your word for it. Thanks, Kate.

[It does feel a little weird. Not so much calling people by name, but retaking acquaintanceships he never made. Not the first time this happens to him.]

Matt's here?

No problem. And yeah, Matt works with me. I do the PI work for his law firm. If you're worried, he's mostly kept himself out of trouble, but he might give you a better idea of how true that is. [Kate assumes that, being Matt, he sometimes keeps her in the dark.

Given some of his more jerkish tendencies, she ... wouldn't really blame him. And sometimes, it might even be for the best.

Though that doesn't mean she'd be happy to have complete confirmation.]

It's good to see he's settled in that well. I'll call him, but please tell me if he's ever in need of a house call.

[Hank is all too aware of Matt's tendency to keep things to himself, after all.]

I'll let you know. I'm still playing catch up from a brief trip out myself, so I don't know if he's been particularly ... in that way.

[And she considers making a joke about Matt's poor temper, but holds it back. The grudge is distant now for her, a vague memory of what she had to stop between him and Tony. She thinks it might be better to hold off on that until she and Matt have a talk.]

Oh, I do have a question. What do you remember last?
