[there's nothing on-screen but a limited view of the front of a motel for about six seconds, then a tiny green glow appears from one of the first-floor windows and zooms towards the camera with a high-pitched whine.

The whine is actually very, very fast panicking, and the glow is actually a very, very small boy.]

It's working! Can anyone hear me?

[There's nothing but a close-up of James' gloves as he fumbles with the camera.]

Pym! You're here!

We haven't been captured by Ultron. Ultron's not here, he's gone for good. Where are you, Pym!?

[video]

[shutuppym]

James! [zooms up close to the camera D8] I don't know where I am! I just woke up in this creepy room and there was this guy and I ran and now I'm here!

[video]

[carrytheshield]

I'll come get you. I just need to see more video of where you are.

[video]

[shutuppym]

Okay, I'll just-- [looks around nervously for people, then picks the device up and flies in circles for a few seconds. The names of several of the motels are visible.] Does that help?

[video]

[carrytheshield]

Yes. I'll be right there.

[James leaves the video on as he takes off running, and everything goes past really fast as he sprints and leaps over things.]

[video]

[shutuppym]

[will just. be behind this trashcan over here.]

[James shows up, and looks around for anything small, glowing, and neon.]

Pym! Now's not the time to play hide and seek.

[action]

[shutuppym]

Sorry! [flies up to eye-level and does a loop of James's head to make up for the hiding.] I'm here!

[action]

[carrytheshield]

[James holds out a hand for Pym to land on. He can't really hug Pym when he's tiny, but James is so relieved.]

Pym! I'm so glad to see you. I've been here for months.

[James finally switches off his phone.]

[action]

[shutuppym]

[lands and promptly sits down to peer up at James]

Months? But we only beat Ultron last week!

[action]

[carrytheshield]

[James starts walking to his hotel. They're not that far away.]

I've been here for months. It's... a time travel thing. We're in the past.

And another dimension. Just like in those stories Tony told us about the Avengers.

[action]

[shutuppym]

I think Reed said something about th- [wait] James! James, did you know? My parents are here!

[action]

[carrytheshield]

Yeah. I know. Your mom is really nice, Pym! And she looks like you.

[James covers Pym up with his other hand for a moment as they go past some people, who give him odd looks anyway, and then uncovers him again.]

They're in this huge city called Manhattan. It's full of people!

[action]

[shutuppym]

Wow. So this must be a world before Ultron!

[action]

[carrytheshield]

No Ultron here!

[That had better be true or James is going to make it true. They do have the Hulk here, so that won't be a problem.]

Bruce is here, too, but he's younger, and Tony. He's younger too; His hair is still dark.

[action]

[shutuppym]

[without thinking] Are your parents here too?
