I heard a clang from above me. I looked up. The vent was rattling.
"Hank, Scott, is that you?" I whispered to the ceiling.
"Yeah." Scott said.
"What's the diagnosis?" I whispered, holding out my hand to catch them, and cushion their landing.
"It appears…" Hank started. They jumped onto my hand, shrunken down. They had ANTonio with them. I smiled at ANTonio. "...that in the explosion, you're DNA merged with our technology." Hank finished.
"So, What does that mean?" I asked. "Am I gonna die?" I asked. I set them down next to me, on my bed.
"No, but there are some side effects." Scott said.
"Like what?" I asked. Suddenly, the world was getting bigger, and I was shrinking. I looked as big as a 5 year old.
"Like that." Hank said.
"Holy shit!" I exclaimed. Hank returned to normal size, and pulled of his backpack. He handed me a small metal thing.
"What's this?" I asked.
"Put it in your mouth. If you shrink too small-" Hank started.
"I know, I won't be able to breathe. The air molecules will be too big for me. I know a lot of science, hanging around with Bruce, and you guys. I'm the kind of girl who spends her nights, pointing out scientific inaccuracies in Sci-Fi movies. I can understand your science talk." I said.
"Alright, I'll speak to you using 'Science Words'." Hank said.
"Are there any other side effects?" I asked.
"Yes, you will be able to communicate with ants. You can talk with them, they can talk with you, and you can control them." Hank said.
"Without the earpiece?" I asked. Hank nodded.
"So, she's cooler than us?" Scott asked.
"Scott, I swear to god if you try to blow yourself up, and connect with the technology, I'm going to kill you." Hank said.
"Alright, fine." Scott said.
"Guys, could we keep this a secret from the others? They worry about me enough as it is. I mean, with me being famous at my private school, and people wanting to come after me because I live with the Avengers." I said.
"Yes, we'll keep it a secret." Hank said.
"Alright, now, how do I get back to my normal form?" I asked.
"Just try and concentrate. You can shrink and expand at will." Scott said. So, I concentrated. And suddenly, I was normal sized.
"Okay, good. Now head back to your rooms before everyone suspects something's up. I need to get up early tomorrow, and pack for my 2nd year at Hogwarts. We have to head to England, and go to Diagon Alley." I said. I scooped up Scott and Hank, and stood on my bed. I put them in the vent, and they were gone. I fell asleep.
