It was now time to enter the office of who ever headed up this stone tower it would not be as simple as the other times. The only entrance was again a set of doors however these had no gaps no key codes not even a handle. Her left foot tapping against the tight weaved grey fibers of the floor. She scanned the room she was in just behind was the desk of what was probably a receptionist. The desk was made out of glass blocks and black granite tops with an inlaid crown of gold surrounded by a silver ring. The walls decorated with beautiful artwork of the life of royals in different parts of the world through the ages. She had to admit it was a nice office space even without windows or natural light.

She then turned her gaze back to the door and the puzzle of how to get in there were no tracks no hinges no nothing to say it opened except the line that split the two doors. She could blast a small hole but that would make too much noise and leave a mark behind that could be seen easily. She looked to the lights thinking of following the wires inside but the she realized like all commercial buildings the wires would be encased in a pipe making it impossible for her to find a gap in the wall to go in. "Okay cheese I need your help."

Coulson spoke softly, "What is it?"

Janet told him her situation and what she was in front of, "Any Ideas?"

"Try the desk behind you maybe there is a switch that can open the door. Also check for a manual override near the door they must have a way to open it in case power goes out."

Janet sighed, "How come I went to the more complicated or destructive ways of getting in."

Coulson chuckled, "To much time around the avengers."

"Wasp out," She grumbled as she flew towards the desk flying over it seeing a phone with a port to hook up a laptop a cell charging station a few books a gold cup filled with pens. She began to fly under the desk looking for a button or switch but instead finding four of the guns she had seen being carried by the guards downstairs. She headed towards the door flying to a painting hanging next to it she pushed it aside and saw a button. She quickly pressed the button the door would pop open slightly enough to get some bodies hands inside it.

She would fly slowly over to it and look into the room it was empty from what she could see. She flew in slowly and looked around the room in a bit of awe at what she saw, "Amazing."

The office was huge the floor was marble with gold inlays forming a giant crown on the floor. The room was lit by lights that were in frosted glass that ran around the entire upper edge of the wall. From the frosted glass fell water onto large polished stones the only gap in the water was the door she came in. Pillars of crystal shot up out of the ground at random each lit a different color. She flew forward towards the back noticing for the first time this was the only room that had no cameras beside the washrooms. She stopped suddenly and stared at what was before her up on a pedestal was a wooden throne with red satin seat and back. The entire throne was adorned with gold and gem inlays lights hitting it just right to make it shine beyond belief. She began to look around more now seeing works of art that should be in galleries not held in this room.

"How can they afford this?" Janet took out the box from between her breasts and took out a camera turning it on as she grew to two inches, "Okay Coulson, take a look." She began to scan the room with the camera, "Are you getting this?"

"Yeah Janet I am it is amazing...is that a giant fountain around the whole room?"

"Yes it is, I mean to acquire this stuff must have cost a fortune."

"I think we may have stumbled onto something bigger than we thought set up as many cameras as you can then get out of there."

"You guys still haven't told me how I am getting out."

"We have two methods of extraction, one is to go back out the way you came the other is we have a shield robot act like a villain have Cap deflect a shot and strike the building making a hole and you get out of it that way."

"I say the first one would be better would cause less of a scene then the other way which might make them scan the building afterwards."

"Al right I will trust your call just place those cameras and get out of there."

"Wasp out," Janet flew over a piece of artwork that was kept in a plexi glass case close to a corner she attached the camera to the top of the case before flying over to a case that held an amazing pearl and alexandrite, "That must be from the Elizabethan era but it is too well preserved." She shook her and flew on stopping at another piece of artwork placing it on the case she flew over to her final case. The case held a simple scrap of metal about the size of a piece of paper and very rusted a single white T could be made out. She shrugged at this and flew up to the ceiling in the center of the room and placed a single microphone before she shrunk down, "How is that?"

Coulson spoke up, "Very nice now just get out and your first mission went off without a hitch."

Janet flew towards the door before ducking quickly to the cover of painting as a figure walked in dressed in the same two button suit as all the rest of the people. His mask was much more detailed than the others in the building. It had a stone look to it with wrinkles carved into the stone to look like an elder person. The ears were exaggerated with hoops for lobes it had a crown of colored stone that wrapped around his head.

He was followed by three women and two men in the same suits they all wore the same masks. Their masks were simple in the face but a around the entire face was a pale blue fan that stuck out three inches at most. Each of them had four of those same odd guns that made Janet curious as to why they carried them and nothing else. Janet wanted to watch what would happen next but decided against that she could not be caught and have the last five hours mean nothing. She quickly darted out of the door looking behind to see the man who had entered first ascend to the throne and the other five bowing. The five spoke in one voice, "Welcome back Ajaw"

"Coulson look up the name Ajaw for me."

"Not a name Janet it is an old Mayan word for Lord," He was looking it up on his tablet even before she asked him too.

"Make sense the mask had Mayan qualities to it. But I doubt he is the top of this group the mask was to plain for a leader."

"Explain?"

"Well if you look at the rest of the stuff in the office the paintings the jewelry it all points to extreme wealth. If I could afford that why would I go with a simple mask like that I would be showing it off to those beneath me letting them know I am higher than them. It is text book villain logic keep those beneath always aware they are beneath."

"I am going to add that to the missions logs as your theory as we watch them we will keep this in mind." He sighed logging it in to the tablet, "But it makes sense to me that he is the leader. This seems to be a scientific organization like aim. Ajaw fits perfectly with a group mad of scientific people the Mayan's were very advanced for the time who knows what their math could have brought on if the Spanish had not shown up on their shores."

"I can see that but if you look at the other people in the building the guards seem to well trained and disciplined to be just following scientist as mercenaries. They have to believe in this way too otherwise the soles of their shoes would not be so worn out from training."

"You can tell that?"

"Yeah they are all wearing expensive Italian leather shoes from a specific maker whose soles are all the same thickness they are worn down about halfway. No mercenary I have met would train that hard just for pay plus the wear pattern on them is all similar as if they trained in the same fashion every day. No mercenary follows the same creed of fighting even in the same group they each have their own way and spin these people don't. Plus all of them keep their shoes perfectly polished not a scuff or scratch on them."

"Okay I am impressed."

"Spend a few years studying fashion and another few working with martial artists and you pick up on these things quickly. I noticed the wear pattern thing after being kicked a few thousand times I can even pick out a few distinct styles by the way a shoe is worn down on the bottom."

"I never knew that was possible I am going to put your theory on the top. How close are you to your exit."

"I am just...Coulson the toilet is gone."

"They removed it?"

"Yep."

"That was fast."

Janet looked around, "Should I try another one."

"No that would be to suspicious if two toilets went the same way in one day."

"So how do I get out now?"

"we are going to try something new I am calling in an old friend who needs a bit of a walk on a few dealing he had recently."

"Please anybody but him."

"Sorry but you will get to hit him once you are out you take him down and hold him for shield to retrieve."

"So then we all get extracted that way. Fine just note I will not be holding back."

"I wouldn't dream of it. Get to an office on the third floor and then contact me and we will begin."

"You already had him arrested for something didn't you?" Janet flew into a very plain office wood desk white walls grey carpet a phone and a computer hook up. "I am ready when you are."

"Yes we did that is why he needs this chance." He tapped a few keys on his tablet, "in ten seconds you will have your way out."

Janet watched the wall and waited she heard a thud then a sudden explosions blew the white wall in making a few holes just big enough for her to get out. At the same instant there was a siren going off she could hear footsteps coming down the hall. She dove into a hole and began to work her way through it. She suddenly heard the sound of water hitting the wall she looked back at the hole she was crawling out of, "Oh no!" She scrambled quickly as a thick liquid was rushing into the hole she knew what it was almost instantly. It was a special chemical that her company used to well most labs did to plug holes instantly. She pushed harder knowing if she got caught she would not get out of it plus the smell it gave off was worse than rotten eggs and month old fish. She was holding back vomit with every movement that smell always got to her she would rather sit in the hulks armpit after a fight than smell this.

She burst out at the last second kicking her feet free of the liquid and looking down to see a group of 20 people rushing towards the building. Standing just to the rear throwing cards at the walls was Remy LeBeau or gambit as he went by. She caught his usual smirk and a wink up at her she knew he could track small movements he had to if he could call anybodies bluff at poker. She gave a gentle wave flew behind a building waiting for the right time to jump in and save the day like it was planned.

Remy yelled loudly, "Go my little thieves get what we have come for." Remy smirked he had set this entire thing up. Sure getting caught by shield while breaking into the helicarrier would seem bad but when his little birdy told him they were going to infiltrate the stone tower today he had to spring his plan. He had a woman inside the stone tower that had seen the treasures in the office and this was his best chance to get in. A raid sanctioned by shield was the best way to keep his risks low. If he failed and was caught by shield he was free if he got in and got his treasure well all the better either way he had no risks. He threw more cards at the wall firing them at the same spots each time weakening the one area. His crew was placing tubes on the wall of the first floor before they ran to hide behind some cars.

One of them yelled to him in a british accent, "We are ready."

Remy turned his attention to the tubes and threw a single card into the center of one a second later the wall lit up, "I am in." The wall began to glow a second later there was a small thud before the wall turned to dust.

Janet recognized what had happened instantly he had taken a device from one of her labs. Originally it was designed to help get minors out in the event of collapse it would vibrate and pulse the ground loosening it to make it easier to dig through. However they had benched it due to the fact that it could only do at max an inch before burning out. He must have gotten it modified to work with his powers and increase the acceleration of the particles and make them brake down, "Coulson in your report remind me to go through my security and figure out how he got in."

"Will do Wasp," Coulson was sitting several blocks away now sipping on a coffee.

From the dust emerged 12 people dressed in black two button suits each had their face covered by a mask. All twelve had the same masks on they were white and slightly demonic looking with pointed eyes and small fangs each one held two guns in their hands the same ones Janet had seen all through the building. They also had two more on their belts ready to be used just in case. The 12 people began to open fire shooting at the thieves behind the cars the masked groups guns fired purple beams out of the top barrel. Their shots fired just above the cars or hit the sides.

Remy yelled again, "Now!" The thief's guild stood up firing back with bullets hitting one of the masked gun men who simply took a step back and kept firing. "So there suits can handle bullets dress to impress I guess." He charged up several cards and let them fly towards the crowd having them imbed in the ground and their guns. The explosions knocked several of the masked fighters down and rendered a few guns useless. The broken guns were thrown back into the building the five remaining masked men drew new ones and kept firing finally taking out a few of the thief's guild. "Wish I could have gone in more quietly dis just feels coo-yÔn." He threw more cards as he ran forward taking out another masked man, "But I cannot let dis chance passe'" He drew his staff making it grow just in time to strike another masked man who had taken out one of his little thieves. He ducked under the guns of a third and struck him under the chin and sending him flying. Just as Remy was about to take out another guard he jumped backwards dodging the yellow bolts that had come down "Mais Looks like I got a little gep to deal wit' too."

Janet was now just less than four inches in size, "Heard a fight thought I should come help who would have guessed I would find a swamp rat in new York."

"Cherie that hurts I am no nutria" He swung his staff at Janet who dodged out of the way only to be struck by a card that exploded and sent her flying. Janet flipped around mid air and dove towards Remy firing her stingers off in rapid succession at different spots on Remy's body each one being blocked by his staff as he spun it around his body. "Do not just watch the staff gep." He did a quick flip as she got close and kicked her up into the air before striking her with his staff and sending her flying through a car window.

Janet burst out of the car blood at the corner of her mouth she fired her stingers to her sides striking the four thieves that had tucked behind the car. They all fell to the ground smoke coming from either their necks or cheeks. "I guess now is the time to show off." She picked up her speed blasting passed Remy in what seemed like less than a second spinning around she fired her stingers off hitting him in the back several times pushing him forward before he blocked the next set with his staff. Janet kept firing faster than before aiming at Remy's shoulders and knees only. Remy kept blocking the attacks with ease.

"You are going to have to better den dat my little ge..." He dropped his staff a second later noticing now the whole thing had become bright red. "Now that is new." He drew his cards and began to throw them at Janet. Janet weaved in and out of them rapidly shooting some down as she grew closer to him. "Time for my new ace," He reached into a pouch a second later the air was filled with glowing sand that began to explode creating a barrier large enough for Remy to jump back and get some space.

Janet fired her stingers through the sand to create an opening she could see through only to be met by gunfire. She rolled quickly her right wing however was struck by the bullet however with the new upgrade to them the wing simply cut through the bullet the strike barely sending her off course, "I will have to thank Caden later." Janet continued to spin as she dove forward going between the bullets firing her stingers off at the same time taking out the three thieves that were firing at her. At the same time the last two of the masked men took out a thief each.

Remy drew another set of cards before looking up as a group of shadows appeared around him. "Mais tink it is time to leave. My friends grab your brothers and go." He turned to Janet and smiled, "Good bye my little gep."

Janet smirked, "Do not think I am going to let you get away." She charged at him the yellow on her arms began to glow and she let fly her stingers. Remy had already turned his gaze for a split second to his men who were helping the injured thieves up. It was this lapse in judgement that gave Janet an even strong advantage. Her blasts would hit Remy and send him up off his feet the shots causing smoke to rise from his trench coat and knock him onto his back and out. She flew so she was hovering over him with a grin on her face so often she wanted to knock him out and doing it in public just made it better. She checked over her shoulder as shield agents landed on the ground pointing their guns at the thieves who had raised their arms in surrender.

From the darkness of the hole in the building stepped the man she saw sit on the throne his mask still on his suit perfectly pressed except now it was covered by a lab coat. He coughed slightly, "Well this is a first." His voice was soft and friendly with a tone of pure happiness in it. He bowed slightly and looked at Janet, "You must be the Wasp it is a pleasure to meet you."

Janet grew to her regular size, "Yes I am and you are?"

"I am Ajaw or at least that is my title with the company."

Janet looked over him closely, "So what is with the masks?"

"Ah to the point I like that. You see our company believes in equality among all members of the staff so they decided to give us these mask. This is so we do not judge based on race religion or gender. They want us all to be seen for who we are and what we can do. They also act as a filter for some of the chemicals we use in our labs. They protect our lungs from build up even the most harmless substance can become damaging over time." He looked down at Remy, "You and shield seemed to have gotten here quite quickly. How is that?"

"I was on my way to interview a company I was thinking of purchasing they are struggling and could use a bit of help. They do amazing work with recycled fibres from clothing I am planning on going blue with a clothing line I am designing. As for shield once I saw Remy I called them in you never know what he has in store when he tries to break in to a place." She stepped to the side as two shield agents lifted the unconscious Remy up and cuffed him taking him to a SUV that had just landed.

"Well I must thank you then but I am sure my security team could have handled it."

"Not from what I saw most of them went down pretty quick."

"Yes they did but I had more coming out to meet them if they failed." He really did not have more to send outside they would have let them get in before attacking in full force. "We even have my team coming down to repair the wall. The building should look exactly as it did before the day is done." From behind him came six men carrying black panels that they held up to cover the hole the men were in the same black two button suit as all the rest. Their mask however were sand colored with delicate features and lines of blue across the cheeks. The men would brace their bodies against the black panels as the sound of water could be heard hitting them.

"Really that is quite amazing if you can repair it this fast."

"We put a lot of effort into preventing leaks and gas escapes no matter the size of the whole we are all about safety." He clapped his hands and them men pulled the panels away the previous large hole was now gone in its place was a perfectly blended concrete wall.

"Wow besides the sun fading on the other cement I cannot tell the difference."

"Yes well they still have 4 hours to fix that."

Janet nodded and shrunk down as she saw the shield agents take all the thieves away, "I must be off it was nice talking with you Ajaw."

"As was it for me, next time let us meet at a boardroom table I am sure both our companies can offer the other something." Ajaw turned around and walked to the entrance of his building disappearing into it a second later.

Janet took off down the road to go meet with Coulson and go back to the helicarrier, "Interesting fellow but he is hiding something." She would grow in size as she landed in car beside Coulson, "So back to the Helicarrier or do we get something to eat. I know a great diner around here."

Coulson looked to Janet, "How could I say no to dinner with the gep."

Janet shook her head, "You know cheese if you do not want the rest of the heroes to know that name you will never call me that again."

Coulson coughed and adjusted his tie, "I will make a note of that Janet."
