I double checked just to be sure. Sorry about the extra work.
This image isn't working for me. Is it a problem on my end or with the image itself?
Those should say 'Anna Marie'.

"You-?" Henry actually turns away from his work station to stare at me. "You actually did it?"
I tilt my head slightly to the left. "Yes..? I did say that was the next step."
"Well… Sure, but I didn't think you'd actually…" He shakes his head. "How did Tony take it?"
"Phlegmatically. He's still trying to work out how I talked Ronan the Accuser down." I shrug. "I asked him if he wanted me to go in disguise…" I shake my head. "He told me not to bother. According to him, he's got a bet with Doctor Richards going on how long it takes to blow up in my face."
"Don't let them put you off. Victor is an amazing man. Some of the designs he's come up with could put human civilization forward a century."
I nod. "I'm more interested in utility than raw sophistication, but I doubt that his pride would let him work like that."
He frowns curiously. "Like what?"
"A way to extract microplastics from the environment? A way to remove feminising hormones from the water supply? A way to erase radioactivity? Energy teleportation so that we could fuel the Earth using solar panels around the sun? Virus-hunting nanobots?"
"Ah-."
I shake my head, waving my right hand back and forth. "Okay, not nanobots, there's no way that would end well."
"No. No, that's-." He shudders a very small shudder. "No."
"Right. It's-. Building a faster than light drive would be an amazing technical achievement, but it wouldn't really fix any of the problems we have at the moment." I look over at his work station… And I have no idea what that is. "What are you working on?"
"Infrasonics. Are you familiar with the subject?"
I shake my head. "I know some sound frequencies produce feelings of unease, but I can't say I've studied it in any detail."
He nods. "I'm hoping that I can find a frequency that does the opposite."
I nod sympathetically. "Prisoner rehabilitation?"
"Maybe if they were calmer they'd actually listen to the people trying to help them." He shrugs. "It wouldn't be a permanent solution, obviously. Even if I found the exact frequency, they'd still have to process their traumas and learn how to do something productive with their skills, but it would be a start."
"How about colour?"
"Color?"
"I'm guessing that The Raft was grey on the inside? With fluorescent lighting?"
"Huh." His eyes grow distant. "Not throughout the entire building, but in a lot of places. I'll look into it."
"I'd suggest therapeutic gardening, but-"
"We tried that, the sharp-"
"-gardening tools-."
"-objects-. Yeah." He smiles ruefully for a moment. "So what's Anna Marie doing?"
"School prom, actually."
"I…" He frowns. "Thought she wasn't going."
"Yeah, and Janet talked to her about that, and it brought up the whole 'touching people' thing-."
"Ah. Look, I-. I know the.. suit wasn't really-."
"Nonono, the suit was an improvement. Not perfect, but it would have been ridiculous to expect a solution to a problem like that right away."
"Maybe you could as Doom about it."
Ah… "I-. Don't-. Think that would be a good idea. That gives him too much leverage. When it comes to Anna Marie I want someone I trust working on the problem."
It looks like that made him feel worse. "And I'm playing around with the world's biggest sound system. So, she went?"
"Yeah."
"Going stag, or..?"
"I located a young masculine humanoid by the name of Aaron Stack. His skin's synthetic, so her power doesn't register it as being 'alive'."
"'Masculine humanoid'? He's an alien?"
"Android. Though I think he prefers 'robot', which… Legally, is probably correct."
Because he's probably not legally a person. Or… It might be that he would be if it was up to the courts, but at the moment he's firmly in the hands of a government research facility with military ties, and while they're not going to be dicks about things now that they've got an X-series robot that actually works, they're not going to be happy if he starts wanting to go to college, vote in elections or foreswear violence and take a job in a petting zoo.
Henry nods. "Steve not tracked down Jim Hammond yet?"
I shake my head. "Trail went dead in Nevada, and since I have no idea what Horton Cells look like, I can't just 'completely violate the unwarranted searches amendment' and do a general scan for him."
"I'm pretty sure Tony was joking when he said that."
"Oh yes, and if I knew what I saw looking for I'd do it anyway, but…" I shrug. "I don't. And none of the old pictures are good enough for facial recognition scans, so that's out too."
"I suppose finding him would be like finding a needle in a haystack." He thinks for a moment. "And you're okay with him dating Anna Marie?"
"He seemed like a well-mannered lad. And… I think that Anna Marie and I are both realistic about.. things. Even if you made her some sort of energy field that let her touch people enough for normal social interactions, intimate interactions represent another level of challenge. Maybe they'll hit it off, maybe this is a one-off thing, I don't know. I'm sure that Janet's going to grill her when she gets back, and I'll just stand in the background looking stoical. Unless she's visibly upset, in which case…"
A construct shotgun forms in my hand. I hold it up for a moment in an attempt to get a smile… But he's not looking, so I let is dissipate.
"Yeah, Janet's… Really taken to her. What was it..? Made you decide to.. involve her?"
"I needed someone who could cover female-specific issues. Janet was one hundred percent of the women I knew at the time; I hadn't been on this Earth for long, and my.. mother and my sister are back on my original Earth. Honestly, she's…" I briefly run through the women I've met since in my mind. "Still the woman I'd ask."
"You know, we… Never really talked about it." I raise my eyebrows interrogatively. "Having kids. And then, we-. The Avengers… Happened…"
"Are you..? Having some sort of problem..? Between the two of you?"
"At this point…" He turns back towards his work station. "I honestly think she'd be happier dating you."
"A-uh?"
"She's the mother of-"
"Elder sister."
"-your daughter, you actually… Like fighting. And I-. I can't. I just… Can't relate to that-. I… I.. j-. I don't think we're… Right, for each other."
"Aah. Uh-huh. Ah. This is… A surprise to me. Um. I'm… Just going to go and… Speak to her..?"
"Yeah. You… Do that."
