I love all these descriptions of things Matt can sense even with the drugs, and the way he was so terrified and panicked, especially when he realized that they'd seen his face and knew who he was. I could read that part over and over again. *g* And oh, wow, he almost caused Bruce to Hulk out! What a close call!

Did they have to get Foggy's permission to do complicated medical procedures on Matt, is that part of the reason why they know who he is? Or is Natasha just talking about how they had to take the costume off in order to do surgery? I liked how she sat down close to him, but didn't touch, and when she does reach out, she does it slowly and gives him the chance to duck away. Yeah, she knows how to deal with traumatized people. I could definitely do with more Matt-and-Bruce-and-Natasha.

And of course Matt would ask about the children. :-)

As always, looking forward to more story.
