Ant-Man

You Look Perfect


"It's about damn time."

Hope blurted out the words that were long overdue. Words which were then proceeded by Hope putting on the prototype Wasp suit and gleefully asking her father, "How do I look?"

Hank paused for a moment, taking in the sight of his smiling daughter dressed in the suit; the very image of his late wife. Tears of sorrow and joy filled his eyes as his mournful feelings for Janet resurfaced, but were soothed by the admiration he felt for his daughter.

"You look perfect." Hank finally gave Hope the praise she deserved.

But what came after was a surprise to Hank, as Hope thanked him for his kind words by giving him a mischievous grin, fluttering the wings on the suit and promptly shrinking down and flying away in a hurry.

"Hope?" Hank asked and looked around, trying to find the direction Hope had flown off to.

"I guess you're making up for all times we never played hide and seek." Hank surmised and walked away from the vault.

After looking around many rooms in the house, Hank entered the kitchen and scanned his surroundings in the hopes that Hope might be there, but she was nowhere to be seen.

"I guess you'll show yourself when you're ready." Hank concluded and sat down at the dining table and started reading his unfinished newspaper.

Hank read through two pages of it and turned the page, when his attention was broken by the familiar sound of a sugar cube falling into a cup of tea.

But he hadn't ordered any ants to make him a cup of tea...

With his curiosity piqued, Hank put down his newspaper and was greeted by the sight of his daughter standing close to him, suddenly returned to full size.

Hank jumped back in his seat with fright and exclaimed, "Jesus Christ! You scared the hell out of me!"

Hank applied pressure to the wound on his chest with his right hand, to alleviate the pain from the sudden movement caused by his daughter's sudden reappearance.

"I was testing out the suit!" Hope explained innocently and picked up the cup she had prepared moments ago and placed it in front of Hank, "…and I made you some tea." She quickly added.

Hope then leaned close to her father and whispered in his ear, "That was for taking so long to tell me." She then smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, which was her way of teasing her father and letting him know that she was there for him.


Thank you very much for reading my story, I hope you enjoyed it! After watching Ant-Man I really wanted to continue the mid-credit scene, so I wrote this. Plus Hope and Hank didn't hug like in the trailer so I decided to add my own emotional touch to the story idea of Hope trying on the suit.
