Captured Twice:

"I cannot believe that idiot!" George cursed. "How could he…does he not care about anyone but himself? Does he not think?!"

Hank and Hope would have joined in on his criticisms, but they had other matters.

"I'll start the van," Hank said. He pressed a button and the lab shrunk. Suddenly they felt tense when they realised, they were surrounded by dozens of FBI soldiers.

"Oh no," George breathed.

"Freeze! You're surrounded!" one of them shouted.

"You're under arrest!" another said.

Immediately they were shackled and brought forward.

"Here…let me take this one," a man in a brown suit suggested to an officer who had a hold on George.

"Let go of me!" he scrambled.

"Not a chance!" his captor brought his ear close to his lips. "You've got a lot to catch up with Sonny,"

George's eyes widened. The FBI officer worked for Sonny. Before he could shout or scream for help, he was suddenly taser in the neck and pulled away quietly. He tried to call for his sister or father or even for an FBI officer, but he was too weak. The double agent pulled him towards the car which was being loaded with the lab. He opened the trunk and heaved out the lab before taking out a phone.

"I got the lab Birch. And I've got George too,"

"Good,"

He switched it off. Suddenly Ghost appeared out of nowhere and stabbed her phasing hand into his chest, killing him. George collapsed. He tried to fight back but he was heaved up by Ghost.

Hope and Hank were pushed into a car.

"Where's George?" Hope asked worriedly.

"Sir!" one of the officers shouted. "Pym's lab is gone! And so the boy!"

"Sent more men after him!'

"It was him who escaped! A strange ghost like creature took him! He disappeared!"

George and Hope looked at each with fear. George and the lab had been kidnapped by Ghost.

George could see nothing but darkness as he was hulled away. He couldn't make out what he was seeing. He was abruptly pushed to the ground. He coughed and he struggled to breathe.

"Get up!" he was kicked in the back.

He looked up and saw Ghost having taken off her helmet.

"Don't you ever give up?"

"Don't you," she hissed.

Bill appeared from behind the corner. He looked flabbergasted.

"Ava! I thought we agreed we wouldn't kidnap anyone!"

"Relax Bill! I kidnapped George and we need him anywhere!"

"I won't help you!" George shouted.

"You shouldn't have exposed yourself to the FBI like that!"

"If they did, they won't even know what's really coming to them!"

Bill peered down at George. "I suggest you get to work unless you'd rather have your heart crushed,"

"I would rather be dead then see my mother dead,"

"Looks like we're need new alternatives," Emma's voice threatened from down a corridor. She pulled forward a tied-up woman who was gagged with duct tape. George's eyes flashed.

"Alison!" he gasped. "Oh god,"

"George!" muffled Alison from behind her gag.

"Seems like you've got no choice," Emma threatened.

"Now help me! Or I kill her," Ava threatened.

"How did you…"

"I happened to learn about your fancy for this woman," Ava sneered. "Now get everything ready, unless you'd rather see someone else have their heart crushed,"

"Bill!" George implored. "Don't do this! Whatever hatred you have towards my father, don't bring my mother or Alison into this please!"

Bill said nothing.

George glared coldly at him and then at Ava and Emma. "Fine! I'll do what you want but don't hurt Alison!"

"Good," Ava pulled him away and pushed him to the control consoles.

"How could you two agree to this?" Bill criticised.

"Father, Ava is dying!" snapped Emma.

"You call kidnapping people a solution? It's not! You're two are exposing us!"

"We'll discuss this later!" Emma retorted. "Now let's get to work!"

Reluctantly Bill helped his daughters, both foster and biological, with setting up Ava's resting chamber to the tunnel whilst a forced George set everything up.

"Forgive me mother," he felt like he was about to cry. A tear escaped his eye when he saw Bill attacked a pipe to the chamber.

"Is it ready or not?" Ava demanded impatiently.

"We can begin the extraction process," Bill announced. "Listen Ava. this whole thing could be very dangerous. Maybe we should…."

"Maybe we should what?" Ava demanded. "Wait? Look at me!" Ava's body was phasing in and out more frequently than ever. It seemed as if she did not have much time left. "I've got days until I am dead. We're doing this Bill now!" she stomped into the control. "Is it ready?" she demanded.

"It's done," George sighed, feeling guilty.

"Good," Ava suddenly hit him in the abdomen, and he collapsed.

"George…" Alison muffled through her gag. She watched helpless as Emma handcuffed to some poles before gagging him with tape.

He managed to gain consciousness, but his vision was still dreary, and his hearing was fractured. He heard the clicking of engines and saw the turbine spinning around. Then all of a sudden, the impatient tone of Ava rung in his ears again. "What is it?!"

"I don't know," Bill's silent voice uttered.

Alison glanced at George.

"It's them!" Emma's voice shouted.

George felt hope surging through his body. His family had come to rescue him.

"They can't be far," Ava said. "Fix this and don't let George out of your sight! I'm going to look into it!"

George and Alison watched as Ava walked out with his helmet strapped over her face.

"You're goanna fix this," Emma unhandcuffed George again.

"Get away from my son," Hank's voice echoed in the halls.

Emma was suddenly startled by the snapping jaws of four giant ants. Her father was surrounded by them too.

"Hank?" Bill asked.

"I'm right here,"

The group turned and saw Hank in a red and grey suit.

George, free from Emma's grasp, pulled the tape of his mouth and ran to his father and embraced him.

Hank embraced him back. "Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine," George turned his attention back to Alison. "I'm so sorry Alison!" he uncuffed her and pulled the tape of her mouth.

"Ow!"

"Sorry," he pulled her up. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine,"

"Really you two? Kidnapping?!" Hank hissed. "You're way higher than that,"

"I had nothing to do with this," Bill said.

"But your daughter. And she's is dangerous as much as you are. You should put behind bars along with Ava. Because no one…" Hank walked closer to them. "I repeat no one…takes my son…or any of my friends,"

"Please Hank. We just wanted to save Ava. She's dying for god's sake!"

"Still doesn't excuse the fact that you kidnapped my son and his friend," Hank shook his head. "First I will rescue my wife. Then after that, I will help Ava. Then after that, I will ensure you two are apprehended. Now I'm goanna need you two to step back,"

Bill and Emma were forced back by the chittering of the ants. Bill was forced to give him the remote before they were 'escorted' to a lift.

"Are you alright Alison?" Hank asked.

"Yes,"

"What are you doing?"

"I managed to talk my way to the US Government into letting me be free of their constant watch. I came to San Francisco to try and track you guys down and see if you were alright. But then all of a sudden, I'm knocked by that…Ava…ghost girl…and handcuffed here,"

"Dad. They threatened to kill Alison if I didn't prep the tunnel. Mum could have died because of me,"

"It's alright son,"

"Where's Hope?" Alison asked.

"She's outside with some friends and Scott. He helped us escape,"

George was surprised.

"Go out and join them. I'm going in to find your mother George and bring her home,'

"No dad,"

"You must. Whilst you guys get as far away as possible with the lab and Hope and Scott…I will find Janet. it'll be okay George,"

George hugged his dad. "Just come back. Hope and I can't lose you,"

"I love you son. Go,"

George grabbed Alison's hand and they rushed outside. They saw Hope and Luis waiting for them. They entered from the back where Hope pulled George into her arms.

"Thank goodness you're safe," Hope breathed.

"Hey little man," Luis greeted.

"Stop calling me 'little',"

Hope blinked when she saw who was with Alison. "Alison? What are you doing here?"

"Ghost, Bill and Emma kidnapped her to make me power up the tunnel,"

"She's pretty, your girlfriend,"

"I'm not her girlfriend and who are you?!"

"I'm Luis. Pleasure to meet you," Luis offered a hand. It was rejected. "Okay? not a shaker of hands okay?"

"Time to go!" Hope called. "Dad's gone through the tunnel!" she held up the remote and pressed it. Voom.

The lab shrunk and Luis collected it from the ants. Hope turned on the engine and they made a turn to make a getaway….only to be stopped by an approaching van.

Oh my Alison is back. What did you all think of this chapter? Hope you all enjoyed it. And the chase is on! Please feel free to send over any idea. Hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving yesterday.
