Summary
scott seems like a good choice for the job, and everything is going just fine. the obvious dislike simmering between the recruit and his daughter isn't ideal – just because the sassy comments and eye rolls and, well, face punches, they get in the way of their productivity – but eventually, hope and scott begin to find some common ground. gradually. like testing out ice before they step. early on, hank thinks that’s all there is to it: two people who distinctly do not like each other, painstakingly learning how to work together as a team. later, he thinks maybe he was sort of blind.
or, hank takes a look at his daughter's relationship with scott lang.

Summary
she cuts him off again, turning to step directly in front of him so he has to stop talking and walking all at once. “i don’t want to talk about germany,” she says, holding his gaze carefully, meaningfully. maybe it’s selfish, but if they talk about germany, she’ll be angry with him, and she’s tired of being angry. he looks rather as if he wants to push; she can see it in his eyes, in the set of his jaw. but he gets the hint, nods, kisses her. like maybe he’s wanted to do it for a long time, because maybe they will just always have that quality to them – lost time and too many firsts.
or, a study of several important milestones in scott and hope's relationship. in which hope has never been that great at timing.

or, adjusting to the world after the snap when you've been through this much trauma is hard. and scott lang can't sleep.

Summary
hope struggles, usually, with how to express her feelings. she's not good at the romantic, flowery language that makes up poetry and music. scott goes for simple and it comes across precious and cute, accompanied by a crooked little smile and twinkling eyes, and it makes her heart swell in her chest. but when hope goes for simple, it comes out... wrong. too harsh, sharp edges and corners. simple, yes – but vaguely emotionless, as if she feels detached. which she doesn't. she's felt detached from things for long enough to recognize when she's not.
or, hope navigates her relationship with scott over time.
