Ask Dr. Hank Pym

uncannyavenging asked "which avenger has the best taste in music?"

Tony, ‘cause his music taste is the least boring. No offense to guys like Steve or Bruce, but y’know - Bruce has a lot of those crappy “relaxing tapes” - for a good reason, and Steve listens to a lot of Frank Sinatra and stuff like that.

So I suppose I’ll say Tony, although I’m not happy about doing so, ‘cause it’ll just give him another excuse to blast his music in the lab as loud as possible.

Anonymous asked "Dr. Pym, have you noticed anything 'weird' going on between Tony and Steve?"

Besides Tony’s terrible flirting despite being sober, the arguing like an old married couple, the way they sit way too close to each other when we’re all watching movies together, the phone calls that last around 9 hours, the longing looks across the hallways or the fact that I’ve seen Tony sneak into Steve’s room several times?

No, there’s nothing weird going on between them at all!

scarletrage asked "Hank, what is your favourite food, and can you make it?"

My favorite food is muffins! All kindsa muffins, blueberry ones, lemon ones, etc.

Yeah, I bake quite a lot actually. Tony finds this hilarious, ‘cos apparently that’s not very manly or something. What would he know? I think being able to cook for yourself is more “manly” than having someone else do it all for you.

Actually, the last time I made muffins it went to hell… I don’t mean to embarrass the guy or anything, but I was trying to help teach Steve how to cook.

We had some trouble with the oven.

At least I don’t need an electric hand mixer any more with Steve around, I can just hand it to him instead!

pleaseaskjarvis asked "Doctor Pym, would you please remind Tony that he is to wash his hands before handling my keyboards and controls as I do not particularly enjoy cleaning engine oil out of my keyboard, and please also remind him that the computers in the lab are for research on work-safe subjects only and that if he wishes to engage in such activities would he please move elsewhere. Preferably where I cannot see him."

I tried to remind him of all of those things, JARVIS - uh, in less formal terms, anyway, and all I got in reply was “mmh”.
Honestly. You’re better talking to him than me.

Yeah, uh, about that “work-safe subjects” thing…

Actually, you know what? I take back what I was gonna say. D… Doesn’t matter.

pleaseaskjarvis asked "Good Morning, Dr Pym. This is Jarvis speaking. Tony has requested I answer all those 'loser' questions he does not think are appropriate for him."

Oh, good morning JARVIS!

Well that’s kinda cool, I guess he’s quite bus—

Wait.

‘Loser’?

H-he put ‘talking to me’ in the category of… Loser task that JARVIS can do instead.

Well, that sure explains a lot, I guess.

Anonymous asked "Hank, have you ever worn a dress?"

Wh-

What kind of a question is that?!

No!

W-well, notintentionallyanyway!

You remember I said in a previous question that Tony threatened to dress me up with doll’s clothes when I was asleep?

Yeah.

I am not a very good Barbie.

Anonymous asked "What do your pajamas look like?"

They’re… Small. Ha.

I sleep in the lab very often, so when I do, I shrink down pretty small so I can get comfier without taking up as much space.

So my pajamas are really, really tiny.

Tony insists that the next time he catches me asleep in the lab really small, he’s gonna start buying clothes for kid’s dolls and dressing me up.

…So I started hiding, too.

Anonymous asked "do you prefer tea or coffee?"

Uh, depends on my mood. I drink a lot of herbal tea nowadays.

That’s either a sign that I need to calm down, or that I’m getting old… Or maybe both, hah.

I drink coffee first thing in the morning - though not nearly as much as Tony does!
