TWO BUGS IN ONE MIND

Back in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helocarrier, all of the agents watched Wasp and Atlas' match were both stunned and disappointed. From the agents on the carrier's main bridge to the agents stationed in guarding the cells which housed both captured Avengers and defeated Thunderbolts.

Two male agents, one a Latino and the other African American, engage in conversation regarding the match all while wheeling the now frozen Atlas to his cell.

"Geez," said the Latino agent in disgust. "This guy can grow to the size of the Empire State Building, and he still lost to that Wasp chick?"

The African American agent gave his fellow agent a nod of agreement, then looked at Atlas with disappointment. "I know, right? And I sure do hate to see what Director Osborn has in store for this guy once he comes back up here."

As the agents conversed while rolling Atlas to his empty already prepared for him, they passed the cell of the bound and immobile Yellowjacket. And while he seemed unresponsive...

...inside his own mind is a different story. For inside the white, bleak, almost purgatory-like place, there was the lab coat wearing, peace-loving scientist that was Henry Pym. He watched as the guards rolled Atlas right past him via the two circular, eye-shaped mirrors and was stunned from what he just heard from them. "Jan won?" Hank asked, sounding both delighted and relieved upon hearing Wasp's victory and, for the time being anyway, was in no immediate danger. "Oh, thank god!"

However, even within his mind, Hank was not alone. For right behind him was that of a smug Yellowjacket, who just so happened to be the dominant personality that was in control of Hank's body. "So what? said the unimpressed Yellowjacket. "If you ask me, I say she was lucky. You know as well as I do Pym that she was never cut out to be fighting all superpower psychos, let alone the ones in Osborn's little tournament."

Hank, angered by the Yellowjacket personality insulting the woman he loves, turned and confronted him. "She's proven that she is more than capable of stopping villains many times, and you know it! Besides, wasn't it YOU who lost to that meathead when you fought him!"

"Yeah, after he cheated like the coward that he is!" Yellowjacket retorted, then as he moved forward to the right 'walleye' window, he bitterly bumped his shoulder into Hank's. "But I doubt she'll win the tournament anyway. Now shut up and try to figure out how we can get out of here!"

Hank shook his head at the cocky Yellowjacket's bravado, then looked through the left eye window. Through there, he saw one of the guards watching the cell was watching the tournament via the wall-mounted screen, and more importantly, saw the Wasp herself being transported back to the Garden."Jan..." he said in both sadness and anger, wishing he could be down there to help both Wasp and the rest of the Avengers. Sadly, however, he could not...

...Due to his body being heavily restrained in a cell. Yellowjacket was

not the only costumed hero being held captive. For just outside, two agents had just placed the frozen Atlas inside his cell, which was right next to that of Wolverine, who they also placed in his cell and helped in getting the device that made him go berserk removed, despite the feral X-Man putting up a fight afterward and putting claw marks on the steel wall to prove it. As the two agents exited the cell, the Latino agent pressed a button on the keyboard next to the door, and thus activated an electric force field 'door' to seal Atlas inside.

Moments later, the yellow energy that was keeping Atlas' body frozen vanished, leaving the giant with the freedom to move once more, but was still somewhat dazed and confused. "What the...?" said the disoriented Atlas, but once his vision was clear and realized where he was, his eyes grew wide with panic. "No...NO!" he yelled, then attempted to break out by pressed the 'A' buckle on his belt to glow, but to his surprise and dismay, nothing happened.

On the other side of the cell, the agents watched Atlas rapidly pressing his belt buckle, and it was the Latino who decided to explain with the giant's belt buckle isn't working. "Yeah, you can thank Director Osborn for you belt not working. We just received word that he used his metal suit to shut it off so you would grow big and destroy the Helocarrier."

Atlas did not take kindly to the news of him being depowered was not what he wanted to here. "No...NO!" he exclaimed. "Osborn can't do this me!"

The Latino agent soon answered the former Thunderbolt with disdain in his voice. "He can, and he just did," he told Atlas. "So just do us all a favor and shut the hell up." With that said, both the Latino and African American agent turned away from the frantic Thunderbolt and proceeded to walk away. However, though the corner of his right eye, the Latino agent spotted the cell at the end of the hall, which door looked like that of a vault and a small window on it. The officer then peaked through the small window and saw that that cell's occupant was that of the subdued and unconscious Bruce Banner, who's alter ego, the Hulk, lost on his last stand against his enemies and was now shackled to the wall via specially made metal cuffs. After, despite Banner being restrained, it still made the agent uneasy, because he witnessed one of the Hulk's rampage's first hand, and did not feel the least bit safe around him, whether it was Banner in his human form, or as the Jade Giant. "Jeez," he said quietly to himself. "And I thought that clawed mutant was scary."
