Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym rolls off the lab table. He lands on a pile of pillows. He's fallen out of table before. He gets up and stretches, stretches some more. He walks over to the coffeemaker, which chugs into work with near perfect timing. Bo, the ant is lying on his side on a counter and eyeing Hank sourly. //Too much work. Sleep?// hank nods to him. The antennae stop twitching. The ant's spiracles whistle slightly.

"Dammit, things are looking up. Why did I backslide and do lab work for... 32 hours straight. Well, still not a new record. there is that. OK, little friends, quiet lazy day today." He eyes the coffee mug, filling sloooowly.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
As Hank recovers from his research binge, there is a knock at the door to the lab. If Hank is to check his phone he may see a missed message or two from Mike. Both of them seem to be referring to some thing that was supposed to happen today. Yes. THAT thing. The important thing. THAT one. YEP.

Jennifer Walters has posed:
It's been a while since Jen visited Hank, and she's been worrying about him after he left the Avengers. Like him, she sometimes loses herself in her work but she finally forced herself to take a much needed break and go and visit his new place.

When she pulls up to the place, she sees that she's not the only visitor to the lab. She walks up to Mike and grins, "Hi there. Looks like we're both here to see Hank." The green giantess holds out a hand to him, "Jennifer Walters."

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym says, "Get the door! Get the d... oh FML." He walks past the sleeping ant and almost shoves him off the counter but... that'd be overreacting. He shoves a leg out of his way and thwaps an antenna. "Coming... hang on... oh look Bo! It's the Queen and Ant-Girl! Save me! ... f***ing traitor." He opens the door. "Oh hey Jen, Mike!" At the name 'Mike' Bo flips onto his feet and charges at the musician. This gives Hank a moment to realize he was doing pantless science apparently. He shuts the door part way and reopens it in a lab coat. "Sorry about that. Come in." He sneers at the ant.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Getting the sense of someone coming alongside him. Mike turns his head to see the approaching Jen. The grin is not lost on him as he mirrors the expression looking up to the woman and offered hand. He reaches up to take the hand. "Mike Hannigan." He returns, "Nice to meet you JennifUUURH!" Mike tumbles forward as he's toppled by an excited Bo. "...hey Bo." Still lying on the ground Mike reaches a hand up to pat Bo's head.

Jennifer Walters has posed:
Jennifer's laugh is light and airy at Bo's antics. (Get it? ANTics?) "It's good to meet you, Mike." She tilts her head as she considers the downed musician. "I bet you get this a lot but did you know you look an awful lot like Nick Drago?"

Not to ignore Hank, she steps around the pair on the ground and gives the scientist a big (yet gentle) hug. "It's good to see you, Hank. How've you been holding up?"

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym umphs as he is hugged. A She-Hulk hug is a wonderful thing... unless we're talking wrestling, in which case, not so nice. He is released and finishes closing his lab coat.

"Ah, I'm doing okay, Jennifer. I still have my consulting job and -hey I'm teaching a workshop at Happy Harbor and helping Dr. MacIntyre. The staff and kids are really great. ... how are things at the Mansion? I haven't been back except to help with that Cthulhu thing in the pool. You are looking Sensational as always." And then in a rare display for Pym he gives her an impromptu hug. "Come in guys... Baudelaire! Home. Now!" The ant retreats.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Hearing Jennifer's observation, he tilts his head. "Really?" He asks, "I look like him?"

Once the ant moves off of Mike, the musician gets up off of the ground, following in after the others.

Jennifer Walters has posed:
Jennifer nods at Mike. "Yeah! Spitting image." She moves into the lab proper and walks with Hank and Mike, "Ooh, a teaching gig! I bet you'd be good with the kids."

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym regards the musician sourly. "You obviously have never seen Jennifer utterly thrilled, and no one should miss that experience. Ya know that atonal new age stuff I listen to, Jennifer. It's Mike's. He's Nick. Time you fess up. Secret identities never last." He grabs a small remote and starts playing Raphael's Flask. "And if she wants an autograph -you better give it to her."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Mike gives a slight smile as Jennifer confirms that he looks like himself, "Huh. Fancy that." The look of amusement stays upon his face until Hank calls him out on his previous response. He glances over to Hank.

"Hey it works for Tony Hawk. That guy can go anywhere get recognized and people just talk themselves out of recognizing him." He responds in protest.

He looks back to Jennifer, "...Yeah. He's right. Nick Drago's my stage name. Off-stage I'm Mike." He gives an apologetic smile, "Sorry. I couldn't resist."

Jennifer Walters has posed:
Jennifer laughs at her own mistake. "Well, consider me fooled. It's still good to meet you. I liked you in Life Bites!." She grins wickedly, "And while we're spilling secret identities, I'm secretly She-Hulk. You may have heard of me."

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym fills two more mugs for the others and carries them over to the 'big and tall' section. he sits in the normal recliner. "How's Wade, Mike? Does the possibility of me showing up still make that vein in his neck pop?" He settles in the chair. "Oh yeah, Jennifer is an expert in disguise. She's really taller but wears special shoes." Ahhh coffee.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Being that Jennifer is laughing, Mike figures he's not in trouble. The mention of the name does get a bit of a brow lift. "That movie seems to be doing better than I thought it would." He comments, "Glad you enjoyed it. And perhaps Dominic's antics made that joke earlier seem like nothing." The reveal that the woman to be She-Hulk gets another nod. "I have heard of both names actually."

He looks over to Hank. Thinking of the executor request. The inquires to Wade switches the train of thought though. "I don't think he's mad at you persay... He's just overprotective... maybe a bit upset with me about not bringing up Rod. So, unsolicited medical advice was probably not going to really be looked on favorably no matter the person offering it."

Jennifer Walters has posed:
Jennifer gratefully takes the offered cup and takes a cautious sip, even though it's unlikely she'd ever burn her tongue. Old habits die hard. "Mmm," she agrees. "Coffee." She follows Hank to his living area when she spies all the extra large furniture. "Big chair." she announces. "Big chair!" She sets the mug aside and hops up into the oversized chair. "I feel... powerful."

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym nearly does a spit take. He sets the mug down and wipes his mouth. He checks his lab coat... yep it's treated. He gets up, hands Mike his phone and says, "Please get a picture of this if she goes for it and doesn't yeet me across the lab. After a moment he grows to his 12 foot height and sits down next to Jennifer. "Is a picture ok?" He doedsn't wait to drape an arm around her shoulders and hug her. "It is a great chair. To be sure."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Mike takes the remaing mug of coffee, watching as Jennifer declares the size of the chair and how it makes her feel. Impishly he steps over to a bare space of floor and bends down. Legs twist to lower him self to the floor. His sense of balance allows for him to move to a cross legged position without having to lay a hand to the floor. "How do you feel now?" He calls up to Jennifer before a phone is handed towards him.

He sets his mug beside him to get the camera on. He waits for word from Jennifer.

Jennifer Walters has posed:
Jennifer giggles like a schoolgirl. "Tiny Jen!" she says instead of 'cheeze' for her picture to be taken. "You know, I've always wanted you to shrink me. I don't think I've ever told you that."

Hank Pym has posed:
Hank Pym starts chuckling. "Oh my gosh... Tiny Jen is adorable." He holds still for the picture.

"You really wanted me to shrink you? What'd you have in mind? Most people do not like it. It isn't as easy as it looks. Accessing your full strength takes a little practice. You also need an unstable molecule outfit. Ahuh. I like being the taller one for once. " He pats Jennifer on her back. "I feel like a mall Santa..."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
At the confirmation, Mike leans back, his new positioning giving even more of a looming effect of the big chair. Giving a smile, he taps on the button to take a picture. "Ok. Just getting another one just in case..."

The phone angles a bit more before he clicks off another. Task complete he straightens his posture and glances down to the photo to confirm. "Alright. Two pictures."

Jennifer Walters has posed:
Jennifer laughs, looking up at Hank. "I want a pony!" she declares, before hopping down and going over to mike. "Let's take a look." She grins when she sees the picture. "I love it. Send me a copy." She turns to Hank in all seriousness. "Now. About Tiny Hulk...."
