Chapter 10: Hi I'm Scott
Sorry it's so late, I've had a bit of writers block and I've been redecorating my house (Not very good excuses so I'm really sorry) I don't know how long the next chapter will be but I'm not giving up on this story, I've got at least another 10 chapters planned so please bare with me and I'm sorry for keeping you all waiting.
The journey to the UN's residency in Germany was not a particularly good one for Barry, both Barry and Sam had been put in a separate jeep of armed soldiers to that of Steve and the Black Panther. Barry and Sam had sat the first half of the journey in complete silence, this wasn't a particular good moment for both of them, Sam was clearly worried about his good friend Steve and Barry was worrying his head off about Wanda.
He hadn't exactly left Wanda in the best of places with the Vision, he wondered what she'd done to him. Barry knew that the Vision was no match for Wanda but he'd hate to see her do something she'd later regret. She wasn't in a good place right now and Barry knew that. He just hoped that Pietro would get back from the farm soon, Wanda would need a speedster after all with Barry locked up in some German prison.
After a while Sam spoke up. "It sure would be handy if that little guy from a few months back was here." He said to Barry. Barry nodded and grinned slightly at the thought. "Why, so he could hand it to you again?" he said remembering that faithful day from three months ago where Barry Allen and Sam Wilson had met the one and only Scott Lang.
It had been a bright and sunny day like any other and Barry had just finished his morning race with Pietro before returning to the Avengers base. No one else was home which had confused Barry greatly before he remembered Steve had decided to take them all combat training without their powers. Due to Barry not expecting to stay there much longer and Sam's already strong combat training Steve had decided to leave the two of them behind to watch the facility. They'd therefore spent most of the day playing games and watching films, to Barry's shock Sam had never seen "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy. This was until a sensory alarm was triggered.
Sam was the first response telling Barry to go and check it out due to his speed. Barry had then zoomed off to the roof that the sensor had been set off on, seeing nothing whatsoever. He'd reported this back to Sam through the coms who then flew over in the following minutes. Unlike Barry, Sam's goggles allowed him the ability to track lifeforms which to both their surprises detected a little man running across the floor. "Barry… there's a small man down there." Said Sam calmly.
"Is that Ray Palmer?" Asked Barry "I didn't know you guys had Palmer tech here." Suddenly as if out of nowhere a fist hit Barry knocking him backwards off the roof. Both Sam and a Man in some kind of weird imitation Iron-Man costume looked over the edge to check that Barry was alright. "Sorry about that, I just meant to grow bigger not punch you." The man said before pressing a button causing his helmet to rise upwards over his head "Hi I'm Scott. Do you mind if I borrow some stuff to save the world?" He asked turning to Sam.
Barry then watched from the floor as Sam walked forward to cuff Scott but instead Scott pressed something shrinking him down just as Sam reached for him. "Barry I can't see him!" Stated Sam.
"I'll be up there in a minute." Said Barry was he slowly sat up, he decided to watch Sam's fight. The fight itself was fairly short and consisted of Sam firing gusts of air around at this mini man. Eventually Scott somehow got inside Sam's Falcon pack and destroyed it causing Sam to fall from the sky. "Barry now might be a good time to do something!" He stated "And don't tell Cap."
"But Sam I can't see where he's gone." Joked Barry before then running up the side of the roof and creating a void by running several circles around the roof, removing the air inside. Eventually Barry stopped running seeing Scott now lying at full size in the centre of the roof. Barry quickly ran over and checked his pulse, he was still breathing due to Barry having controlled the void just right.
Barry and Sam had then placed Scott in a cell after removing his helmet and belt. He eventually woke up and after a short interrogation Barry and Sam agreed to let Scott take what he wanted to stop Darren Cross however Barry would remain at Hank Pym's house so that Scott could return it when he was done. Sam clearly didn't like that agreement but Barry trusted Scott he seemed like a good down to earth guy and Barry would help him anyway he could. Eventually Scott had done exactly as he said he would and returned the device to Barry, neither Barry nor Sam had heard from Ant-Man since.
Back in the present day Barry and Sam's car had pulled to a stop for they had now arrived. "Well Sam, it was nice knowing you" said Barry as they were escorted out of the car. "I mean we could escape now if you wanted?" Said Barry as all the soldiers turned their guns towards him and Sam. Not that it meant much to Barry when he could phase through the cuffs and disarm every one of them before they could even fire. "I'm joking; I'm joking" He said. "We did come in peace after all." And with that Barry and Sam were led inside.
