Chapter 11 Running Fuse
Izuku in his Ant-man suit made it to what remained of the buildings on a small flying ant, 'What happened here, did something blow up in between both of the buildings?' Thought Izuku, 'In any case, I need to check for survivors,' as Izuku ordered his ants to look for people while he scanned the rumble when suddenly some of it started moving, Izuku regrew to full size as he started digging through the rumble, he then saw something red before it opened to reveal someone inside. "HAWKS!"
Hawks looked up, "Ant-man," he said as the vigilante helped him up "Now that's two I owe you."
"You okay? What happened here?"
"I was following two criminals when I got into a fight with one while the other one turned the wall of the building into a bomb, I acted quick and used my feathers to shield myself but damn did that hurt. Felt like I got slapped by All Might, I don't think anything's broken but damn does it hurt."
"Wait you said, one of them turned the side of the building into a bomb." Izuku started to look around.
"Yeah, he was willing to kill his associate to bury me, he said his name was-"
Suddenly a huge chunk of the rubble was cut and launched upward as the dusted and ragged form of Sir Dazzle appeared. "TIMEBOOOOOMB!" he roared.
"Timebomb!" said Ant-man. "Wait Timebomb was here?"
"Yeah, he was the one that blew up the building. Wait, how do you know Timebomb?"
"Yeah, he used to work for a sex trafficking's a hole."
"EXCUSE ME!" yelled Sir Dazzel interrupting their conversation.
"Oh right this guy," said Hawks as he noticed the man with pure rage in his eyes. "Careful this guy isn't some goon." as he remembered Sir Dazzel's fighting experience. 'Shit, cause of the explosion, I only got a few good feathers left, some of them I can still use but no one i am using them to fly.'
"Wait a minute," as Izuku recognized the man, "Aren't you that one guy that killed the other heroes because they stopped your ice skating performance."
Hawks looked at Ant-man in disbelief, "What?"
"THOSE BASTARDS STOLE MY SPOTLIGHT," yelled Sir Dazzel as tears rolled down his eyes, "I had been practicing that routine for months and then those c list heroes had to barge in and stop some bomber from blowing up the ice ring, they got on the front page of the newspaper and had an extensive interview, not me!"
"Wait, so your whole motivation for becoming a villain is because some heroes ruined your performance to stop a bomber."
"Oh no, I performed before that all happened and won first prize," He said with a smug smile. "But what they did was far worse, they stole my spotlight, they made everyone forget my prefect performance, they-"
"Got more attention than you and you killed them when they tried to apologize, right?" said Ant-man as he remembered the story, but to be sure he took out his spare phone.
"YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP! It's my story and I'm the one telling it," yelled Sir Dazzle like a toddler. "But yes, they did come and apologize because they realized their inferiority. Killing them was a mercy and their deaths gave me a thirst for blood."
"No, they went to go and apologize to your manager for almost destroying the place," said Izuku as he showed Hawks the phone. "Yeah right here, former gold medalist Sir Bazzel lashes out and attacks heroes when they came to apologize to the event manager. The hero dies later in hospital due to prior health issues, causing the skater to leave the world of figure skating in shame."
The disgraced figure skater started to shake as he was filled with rage, "Those uncultured idiots called me Sir Bazzel!"
'That's what he's angry about?' Thought both Ant-man and Hawks.
"I'll kill them, how dare they screw up my name. I'll rip them from limb to limb." vowed Sir Dazzel as he started making plans to find and kill the reporters, but first he had to deal with the heroes and then Timebomb, "TIMEBOMB!" as he remembered how the man tried to blow him up. "Where is he, where did that fucking bastard go?" down the street watching him from the distance was Timebomb waving at him from the distance. "TIMEBOMB!" Dazzle then used his quirk to skate on the ground after his former boss.
"Shit," said Ant-man as he shrunk down and hitched a ride on a flying ant.
"Wait Ant-man don't, ah" Hawks clutched his sides, 'Shit that explosion did more damage than I thought, how did that guy not get hurt,' Hawks then summoned his remaining feathers to fly into the sky. "Good I still got enough feathers to fly. I might be injured but I'm still in this game."
~o~
Dazzle skid to a halt as he followed Timebomb to an old warehouse, "Come out you traitorous bastard," yelled Dazzle. 'I'll make your death quick and beautiful if you do."
"Well, you're a bigger idiot than I thought."
Dazzle looked up to see Timebomb standing above him on the catwalk, "Die!" as Dazzle sent a kick blade at Timebomb.
Timebomb remained calm and tilted his head dodging the attack. "Well you at least served your purpose, you brought Ant-man to his death."
This confused Dazzle and Izuku who had just flown in. 'What is he talking about?' Thought Izuku before Timebomb threw several stones at the small roof windows above them. "Evasive maneuvers." as Izuku's ant started flying dodging the shards of glass as the shards flew past Izuku, he saw small digit numbers on each shard of glass. "Oh, shit" Yelled Izuku as the shards exploded causing Izuku to fly off his ant and to regrow to full size.
Dazzle saw Ant-man suddenly reappear. "Ant-man! He was here this whole time!?"
Timebomb watched as Izuku struggled to stand. "Of course he was, this is his grave after all." as Timebomb taps the railing of the catwalk.
Izuku looked up and saw as a spark ran across the rail of the catwalk to the wall above Izuku. It was small but against the fading red bricks, Izuku could see a strange series of lines across the wall, using his helmet, Izuku saw that the line was made of a bunch of zeroes. 'He can turn his timer into a long fuse!' Izuku turned and jumped away.
The spark reached the decimal causing the wall to explode at the same time Izuku shrunk down hoping his small body would be able to dodge the shrapnel. Though to his surprise, it was not necessary as a feather caught him and flew him upward as Hawks came in through one of the roof windows. "Ant-man you okay?"
"Yeah," said Izuku catching his breath, "Thanks for the save."
"No problem," Hawks then looked down at Timebomb who stared back. "That guy ain't some scrub, he's trained."
Izuku agreed. "I thought this guy was just some nobody goon but he planned this, using a pawn to lure me here where he had the window and the wall set up to kill me." Izuku kept his eyes on Timebomb who had not moved. "We can't underestimate him."
"You're ignoring me?"
"Huh?" the three of them looked down to the ground level to see Dazzle glaring at all of them.
He was glaring at all of them with a look so heated you would have expected his eyes to light on fire or shoot beams out of his eyes. "I am Sir Dazzle, the best figure skater in the country, I was one of the most handsome bachelors a few years ago, now I am the most handsome villain across the country and you all have the audacity to ignore me!"
"Okay what the hell is with this guy?" asked Ant-man.
This was the last straw for Dazzle as he screamed and did a front flip, sending a massive blade upward destroying the roof and causing chunks of the ceiling to fall to the ground.
Hawks moved out of the way with Ant-man still on his feather. "Look as ridiculous as that guy is we should probably deal with him, he's got some weird quirk that allows making wind blades out of his kicks."
Izuku thought it over for a moment, "Then he's a perfect opponent for me. You handle Timebomb, I'll get the skater reject." Hawks was about to disagree. "Timebomb can turn objects like the ground into bombs, I don't think he has much of an anti-air arsenal, and the moron down there can't hit me if he doesn't see me coming."
Hawks smiled at the idea. "Alright, tic tac let's go."
Hawks sent the feather with Ant-man on it towards Dazzle, Izuku jumped right before Dazzle sent another blade kick at him taking the feather out but Ant-man turned back into his regular size and kicked Dazzle hard enough to send him tumbling backward to the ground.
Dazzle slowly raised his head, "You piece of-huh where did he go?" Dazzle looked around trying to find Ant-man but couldn't see him until Ant-man jumped and punched him in the gut. "Aw, you stop you distrusting insect." as he sent a kick randomly hitting part of the wall, hoping to hit Ant-man but those hopes were dashed as Izuku punched him in the face. "How dare you!"
Timebomb watched this from above. "Moron has no chance," as he took several coins out of his pocket, "I'm guessing that means I'm fighting you?" as he looked up at Hawks.
"Oh don't sound too disappointed," as Hawks manipulated one of his feathers turning it into a blade. "I'll make this quick."
Timebomb threw the coins between them causing a small smoke screen as he turned and ran down the catwalk.
"You ain't getting away from me." as Hawks flew after him, sending some feathers at him. Timebomb saw this and jumped off the catwalk onto some boxes before jumping down to the ground left. "Not bad parkour, but that won't help you."
Hawks sent two feathers down at Timebomb, the bomb man saw this and then tapped two boxes causing several sparks to form on the boxes, the sparks followed a trail down below the boxes before making an explosion, causing the boxes to fly upward at Hawks.
"Oh crud," as Hawks maneuvered out of the way of the boxes, as he was rolling in the air he saw Timebomb touch the wall making a new spark that followed a trail of tiny zeroes. "Enough of that." as he redirected his two feathers hitting the line the spark was following and the other at Timebomb who dodged at the last second. Hawks floated in the air and looked at the wall where the line of zeroes was. "So it does work like some kind of fuse, cut it before it gets to the end, and no boom."
Timebomb just smirked. "Yeah, your right. When I realized my quirk had a decimal point it made me wonder what would happen if I add a whole bunch of zeroes to it and who would have guessed it, my quirk gets a fuse of some kind."
"Interesting," said Hawks as he eyed Timebomb. 'He's quirk is much more unique than I first thought, not to mention with a fuse that means he could have boobytrapped the place, he was using this place to kill Ant-man after all.' Timebomb then held a coin in his hand before flipping it into the air, as it landed it rolled for a moment before causing a small explosion, like a firecracker but it was enough to set off several other lines of Timebomb fuses. 'What! His bombs can set off his fuses!'
"Pay attention," yelled Timebomb as he threw several playing cards at Hawks.
Hawks quickly batted them away with his feather blade as Timebomb started to throw other objects at Hawks. Hawks kept moving but small explosions kept happening all around. "Okay, I'm getting tired of all this random bullshit." Then something caught his eye as he saw part of the railing of the catwalk had a fuse wrapped around it that was almost about to blow, quickly using his feather blade to cut it from the catwalk. "Here, have a taste of your own medicine." as he kicked the railing towards Timebomb.
Timebomb moved but not away from the railing but towards it, catching it. Hawks waited for it to explode but it didn't. "Bet you thought it would explode in my hand," said Timebomb held the railing showing as more digits were being added. "As long as I can touch the timer I can manipulate it."
"Well fuck."
"Let's kick it up shall we," Timebomb throws the railing past Hawks into the ceiling igniting several timers on the ceiling causing it to rain dust, and dirt. "Don't lose sight of your opponent."
Hawks' feathers picked up movement to his side as he brought off his feather blade in time to block Timebomb's knife. "That won't work." Timebomb then grabbed Hawks' arm bringing him down. 'Shit I don't have enough feathers to stay afloat with a passenger.'
"Good, now hand-to-hand combat." Said timebomb before spitting out a small rock that was hidden in his mouth.
Since it was a small rock it didn't cause a big explosion but enough for Hawks to lose focus and fall to the ground, 'Shit' Hawks quickly recovered and rolled to his feet but to his surprise so did Timebomb, who followed up on the attack with quick jabs from his free hand and adding knife swipes when he saw an opening. With his training Hawks was able to either block or dodge each attack but wasn't able to counter. 'What the hell, this guy is trained like a soldier.'
"Keep your head in the game and don't forget your footwork just because you can fly." Timebomb swept Hawks legs but the winged hero didn't fall as he used his feathers to float back.
"What the hell is this?" asked Hawks as he clashed blades with the man. "A lesson?" The man just smiled at Hawks. 'Time to end this.' Thought Hawks as he focused on one of his remaining feathers that were on the ground. 'I'll go for his leg.'
"Going to try and hit my leg." Said Timebomb smirking causing Hawks' eyes to widen. "Or did you forget I grabbed your coat when we fell?"
Hawks eyes went down to his arm where he saw four digits, 0.001. 'He turned my jacket into a bomb, I'm wearing a bomb.' Hawks then grabbed Timebomb and held him close. "Go ahead, make it a big one take us both down."
"HAWKS!"
Hawks looked over to see Ant-man holding an unconscious Dazzle. "Stay back. This bastard turned my Jacket into a bomb, but if he wants to pull the trigger he'll just take both of us down."
Timebomb smiled. "Not bad, It's been a while since I've had to really put my back into a fight. I'm rusty as hell, but at least it was you who took me down."
"Me?!" Hawks just stared at the man. "Who the hell are you?"
"You made me proud today, little bird."
Hawks felt his blood freeze. "Wha?"
"Ow" as a young Hawks was hit to the ground again after a long session of training.
"Come on, little bird. You have to do better with close combat." said an older boy with a bow staff. "If you want to roll with the big ones you got to learn to handle yourself."
Hawks slow lifted himself up in a sitting position. "I'm doing my best and all the adult are telling me to focus on my quirk."
The boy spun his staff around. "I admit you do have a kick-ass quirk, but you're never going to make it into the big leagues just by focusing on your quirk. Take Endeavor, for example, you think he got that big bulking body just by focusing on his quirk?"
Hawks thought about it, "I guess not."
"See, all of the greats don't just rely on their quirk. Hell I'm pretty sure when they make her sidekick, she'll have me running through hand-to-hand combat exercises all day." said the older boy with a grim expression.
"Well with your quirk that should be easy."
"Huh? What are you talking about?" The older boy was clearly confused.
Hawks pointed to his weapon. "Your bow staff."
"Oh this has nothing to do with my quirk," said the boy. "Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever shown you my quirk."
"What? Then why are you always practicing with that thing?" asked Hawks. "I see you practicing with that thing all the time."
The older boy gave a small laugh before looking at his staff, "Well for one, it give me a good workout, and secondly, my hero used a staff like this."
"Your hero?"
"Yeah, to be honest when I was younger than you I thought my quirk was the kind that a villain would use, but when my parents brought me to America to visit some relatives I saw footage of a hero who had a quirk similar to mine, he was so cool. The way he fought the way he talked, everything about him was just so cool."
"So you practice with a bow staff so you can be like your hero."
The older boy nodded. "Yeah, well that and I think it works well with my quirk. I hope when I become her sidekick I can take up his name and be a hero like he was."
"Oh yeah, what was his name?"
The older boy smiled "His name was..."
Hawks stared at the man in front of him. "...Gambit..."
He smiled, as he raised his hand. "Keep flying, little bird." He then flicked Hawks' visor off of his face, using his quirk to make it explode above them. Timebomb used the distraction to kick Hawks away before running away.
"WAIT STOP!" Yelled Hawks as he sent his feathers at Timebomb. "GAMBIT!"
Timebomb dropped a coin that exploded and caused several lines of his fuse to ignite, one that quickly exploded making an opening in the wall to the outside. "Keep flying, Hawks."
Hawks was about to try and run after him but Ant-man stopped him. "We need to go now." as several parts of the warehouse started to explode. "Come on."
Ant-man and Hawks turned and ran through the warehouse as it started to explode around them. They quickly jumped through the main doors as the warehouse collapsed behind them covering them in dust, "Ant-man, you okay?" asked Hawks as he coughed out the dust from his lungs.
"Yeah, I'm fine," as Izuku stood up and stretched, "but what was that back there?"
"This may have just gotten personal." Hawks stood up and dusted himself off, "Hey what happen to the other guy?"
"Oh, I knocked him out and tied him-"
"FREEZE ANT-MAN!"
The two turned to see several police officers pointing their guns at Ant-man, behind the officers the two saw as they placed an unconscious Dazzle in the back of police transport. "Oh look they got him right over there."
"Oh, you dragged him out beforehand."
"Kind of, knocked him out, tied him then more or less threw him outside with my ants keeping watch, dude was surprisingly light," said Izuku as he started stepping backward. "Anyway it seems you guys got it covered, I'm just going to head home now."
"Don't you dare move," For a moment Izuku thought one of the police had said that until he turned to see Endeavor's sidekick Burnin standing right behind him. "Don't even think about trying to escape, you're surrounded by police and Endeavor's sidekicks." as she grabbed Izuku's shoulder. "Make any sudden moves and I got permission to give you one hell of a burn."
Izuku looked at the hand then at Burnin, 'Does she really think this is going to work?'
"Nice work Burnin." They all looked up to see Endeavor descending from the sky. "I came here as soon as I heard. We have you now vigilante."
'I'm really starting to hate this guy.' Thought Izuku.
"Endeavor, hey buddy," said Hawks stepping between Ant-man and Endeavor. "I've wanted to talk to you, but I know we got other business at the moment so let's put a pin in that for now." As Hawks turned to Ant-man and grabbed his free hand. "Despite what this guy about to arrest you, it's been fun teaming up with you."
Izuku felt something in his hand and gave a slow nod to Hawks. 'What is he doing?'
"Now on to the important stuff here." As Hawks got serious. "Burnin, you wanna go on a date?"
"HUH?!" Burnin blushed so hard that her flames turned pink. "What now is not the time for a date."
"What are you talking about, I just caught a bad guy and survive a very tough opponent I think now is the perfect time to celebrate," said Hawks as he wrapped one arm around Burnin. "Come on what do you say?"
"I..uhhhh." Burnin was so caught off guard she couldn't help but let go of Izuku.
"BURNIN! DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE" Yelled Endeavor as he lunged at Ant-man.
"Bye Endeavor, see you later." as Izuku shrunk down and escaped.
Endeavor looked around the ground before turning and glaring at Hawks. "What the hell are you thinking?"
Hawks gave him a blank look for a moment, "Oh I'm sorry." He then turned to Burnin. "Endeavor's right, I can't take you on a date like this."
"huh?" as everyone just stared at him.
"Look at me, I'm dusty and probably look like a mess." He started walking to the prison transport. "Give me an hour or two to get cleaned up and I'll take you out to dinner tonight, my treat."
"Wait what?" as Burnin's flames turned pink again.
Endeavor marched after Hawks. "Hold, we're not done yet."
"Sorry Endeavor duty calls," as Hawks jumped into the prison transport. "I need to take this guy in, you can handle the rest right." as he shut the door.
"HAWKS!"
Above them sitting on a rooftop, Izuku couldn't help laugh at Endeavor getting pissed. "Hawks you are now officially my favourite hero aside from All Might." Izuku then looked at the card Hawks gave him that had the hero's number on it. 'Maybe I will give you a call, I still have some questions about Timebomb and if it's personal, I will definitely be seeing you again.'
~o~
Timebomb ran through the alley, clutching his side, stopping at the entrance before a van stopped in front of him as the door opened revealing the military woman he's been working with. "Perfect timing Camo." as Timebomb got in, wincing as he sat down.
"What the hell chewed you up?" she asked.
"Hawks, he got be good, with two feathers as I ran." Timebomb felt his wounds. "I ain't going to die but this is going to take a while to heal."
"Madam Aka won't be happy about that," said the Soldier. "What happened to the idiot?"
"Oh Dazzle he got captured and I'm not going to rescue that idiot. He ain't worth the trouble."
"Good he was getting on my nerves." Asked Camo as she started driving down the road. "So what the plan now?"
"Rest up for the moment, the Trash Pit has gotten quite loud recently. While our goal of killing Ant-man shall remain the same, we have to be careful of the other heroes that are now running around the Trash Pit," said Timebomb as he looked out the window and saw a payphone.
A younger Timebomb was running down the street in a hoodie trying to hide his face. He sat down at a bus stop to catch his breath for a moment even though it was the middle of the night and he was sure that no one was following him, he was still on edge. A sudden ringing got his attention as he turned to see an old payphone ringing. After a few rings, he stood up and answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Reji, stop running, you're only making things harder for yourself." said the voice of the new president of the public safety commission.
"So you can kill me or lock me up as you did her," said Reji with anger. "You told us we could be heroes, you said we could be symbols of hope and protectors for others heroes. You lied to us, you used us like tools and after everything we did you stabbed us in the back and told everyone were criminals even though we were just doing what we were told."
The president sighed. "Yes we did, we pushed you all too far and it got my predecessor killed. I admit what we did was absolutely wrong but we can't change the past, we can only do better moving forward. Turn yourself in and I promise you a light sentence of five years, you'll even be able to have visitations if you promise to not tell anyone."
"Bullshit. that's a load of Bullshit!" yelled Reji as he punched the side of the payphone.
"I'm sorry but that's the best I can offer, even if you go public with your knowledge it won't do you any good, we've already scrubbed you from our records and your parents will be deported if you do so. They may have raised you here but all of you are also American citizens."
"FUCK!"
"Reji, just come back, theirs's no place you can run that we won't find you," she said with sincerity in her voice.
Reji closed his eyes for a moment before finding his resolve. "You're right there is no place for me to hide, but there is one place I can go where you can't catch me."
The woman was silent for a moment. "You wouldn't dare."
"You've known about that hell pit for years but been too afraid of what would happen if it spilled over to the rest of the country."
"Reji listens to me, if you take a single step into that place you will become a prisoner in hell on earth. Please don't do it, you'll be throwing your life away." Pleaded the president. "Isn't it your dream to be a hero?"
"You people destroyed that dream a long time ago."
"Reji"
"I'm done listening to you." as he walked away from the payphone as it blew up, not looking back.
"That sounds like a smart move, we can't be reckless," said Camo getting his attention.
"No, we can't," said Timebomb as he noticed something. "What is that?"
Camo followed his eyes, "That shouldn't be here."
~o~
Sarah flipped the card in her hand, "So Hawks just gave you this before giving you a chance to escape."
Hanah looked at the card over her shoulder. "This can't be tracked can it?"
"I don't think so," said Izuku from his computer room at the Ant-Hill, it was located right above the garage. "I gave it a look over and there nothing on that can be tracked, I even had my ants check it if it had a unique sent but I found nothing."
"So does this mean we're working with Hawks?" asked Hanah.
"No," said Izuku quickly. "If he didn't act weird near the head of that fight then maybe I would have agreed to work with him, but now until I know who Gambit is, that ain't happening."
"Is that what you've been looking at?" asked Sarah.
"Yeah, take a look." as Izuku showed them several pictures. "This is an old American hero, named Gambit, I surprisingly can't find out a lot about his early career or schooling but apparently he worked with a few American teams, he died almost two decades ago."
"So he can't be Timebomb." stated Hanah. "So how does an old American hero have anything to do with Timebomb and Hawks?"
"No idea," admitted Izuku. "That's why I'm a bit iffy about working with him but I am willing to hear him out. He's stuck his neck out for me today and that is worth something in my book."
"We that's good to at least know we have one ally in the hero community." Said Sarah looking at the positives.
"That aside, there's something else we need to talk about," said Hanah getting serious. "What did that little girl and you talk about today outside of the Ramen shop?"
Izuku frowned before grumbling. "Oh, that?" Izuku then sighed. "It was a job request from-"
"IZUKU!"
"Huh?" The three looked out the window to see someone enter the garage. "Kenta?" Izuku walked to the garage with the girls. "Kenta what's going on, why are you freaking out?"
"He's freaking out because we got a problem." Yelled Genta as he and Benta ran into the garage breathing heavy, "Oh shit man, you can run Kenta."
Benta was breathing hard, "My lungs feel like they're on fire."
"I told you I've been working out," said Kenta with pride.
"Guys what the heck is going on?" asked Izuku as he was now on alert. "Is someone after you guys?"
"No," said Genta. "America is after you."
"What?"
Benta stepped forward, shoving the RC controller in his face. "Take a look at the video we got."
Izuku took the controller and ran back to the computer room, plugging the controller in and playing the video.
"What is this?" asked Sarah.
"Two guys in a van," said Hanah.
"Shush, listen," said Genta as the video played at the beginning.
Izuku listened to the first part. "These guys are from I island and they are looking for me."
"Keep watching man, it's about to get to the crazy part," said Kenta.
After that Izuku turned up the volume of the video as the two men got a video call from a man Izuku knew well, "David Shield!"
"Have you two found anything about Ant-man?" asked David shield.
"No sir," said one of the men. "Me and Jeff have been looking for a while but we can't pick up a trail."
"He's been jumping all around this place, shrinking and growing a lot of things," said the one named Jeff. "We can't get anything."
David Shield frowned at the information. "I expected as much but it is imperative you two find some way that will lead us to Ant-man, that technology is key to solving some of the world's biggest problems, medical, technological, it could even solve world hunger."
The two men looked at each other. "Sir is that the only reason?"
"Yeah, we're both scientists sir, why did you send both me and Travis to Japan," asked Jeff. "Why not just contact All Might, I'm sure he would have plenty of friends to track down one guy."
David looked conflicted for a moment, "I'm sorry, I sent you to another country without telling you just how much this with affect the world."
"The world?"
"You see one of the reasons that suit was buried was not only how much power it had on its own but the mysterious power behind it. The Pym particles are so revolutionary, its founder Hank Pym didn't want anyone to have it unless they could figure it out on their own, It is why the formula for the particles was the passcode for his computer. No one knows what was on that device, no matter who we asked or what quirk they had no one could get into the computer or copy its data. That's why it has been a rumor that Dr. Pym figured out a way to control people's quirks or cancel them, with the recent news we can confirm now without a doubt that Pym particles can somehow manipulate other peoples quirks." Explained David Shield shocking everyone.
"Wait, are you saying that Ant-man can take quirks away?" asked Travis.
"I'm saying that whoever Ant-man is right now has a hundred terabyte computer with the knowledge to change the world as we know it. He may very well have the power to take, change and alter any quirk he so chooses." Explained David "Part of me prays that the only reason he can make that suit work is because he has some strange quirk that allows him to use it."
"Wait then sir, shouldn't we really tell All Might," asked Jeff. "If Ant-man is so dangerous then shouldn't we report this."
"No!" David shot back immediately, "the more people that know about this the more dangerous the situation will become, the fewer people that know about this the better. Right now Ant-man is just using the suit to be a hero, I don't believe he understands the value of what he has right now. If you find him first talk to him, if he gets caught first I'll call All Might."
"Uhh sir," Travis raised his hand. "What happens if we're attacked?"
"Well you two both have extremely powerful offensive quirks but if you feel that you are in any danger, here is the emergency number for All Might." as a series of numbers flashed along with the screen. "Call him and say your on a job for David and he'll come running." Jeff wrote down the number on a notepad and held it as if it were gold. "Please, don't use it unless it's an emergency, I don't want to hear from All might that two of my top scientists used the emergency line for an autograph."
Izuku paused the video. "Does...um...does he say anything else important?"
The three wombats looked at each other for a moment. "No that's about it."
"Good cause I'm about to freak out." Izuku then took a massive deep breath.
Hanah and Sarah looked slightly alarmed. "Izuku, Izuku calm down deep breaths, okay."
"Yeah, didn't you already figure a lot of that stuff out before?" Sarah pointed out. "We kind of already knew some of this stuff."
"I have All Might's number."
Both Hanah and Sarah froze. "What?"
Kenta was the first one to un-freeze. "Oh yeah, I forgot how much of an All Might fanboy you were." This caused Genta to facepalm and Benta to hold in a laugh.
Izuku scratched the back of his head. "What can I say old habits die hard."
Both Hanah and Sarah raised their fists before bopping Izuku on the head. "Don't scare us like that!"
"Sorry," Said Izuku as he rubbed his head. "Yeah but I kind of suspected that much from when we tried to shrink all of you guys." he then turned to the corner of the room where an Ant farm was, inside was Hank Pym's Laptop being guarded and cleaned by a horde of Ants. "Every time I go through that Laptop I find more formulas than answers, research notes that I barely understand, he was truly a genius. His knowledge could change the world and then some."
"Why not call Meg," asked Kenta. "Doesn't she already know about the formula, can't she figure the rest of it out?"
Izuku slowly shook his head. "No, theirs a limit to her quirk and she doesn't remember the formula. I checked up on her and Yamada not too long ago, apparently using her quirk on the formula alone was enough to keep her bedridden for days and she doesn't remember the formula at all. Her quirk might help her figure it out but it also and I'm quoting her here, 'Shove a rusty knife into her skull and drill her brain out sideways.' Translation it hurts a lot to the point that it affects her physically afterward. If I ask her to figure out the formulas or any of the other notes on the laptop it might make her comatose." explained Izuku. "Not to mention I don't want to put them in any more danger and I want to figure it out on my own. Now that I know this was all done so that no one but someone who can understand Hank Pym's research can get in, I want to live up to that. Unlock the secrets that probably no one but Hank Pym has."
"Izuku, that's nice and all but that doesn't change the fact we got scientists from I island on our ass now." Pointed out Genta.
"That's the least of our worries." as Izuku then explained to everyone his day.
The others were silent as they just stared at Izuku. "We got Turk asking for our help and to top it off, Timebomb is back and has some weird connection to Hawks."
"Yep."
Genta sighed before grabbing the RC car off the table and grabbing Benta. "Kenta meet us in the gym, time to get serious."
"Uh okay," said Kenta before turning to Izuku. "Meeting adjourned I guess." Izuku nodded. "Okay, then I'll work with the guys and get back to you."
"Thanks and tell Genta I'm going to make his car is a priority," Izuku yelled at Kenta as he left. "Those came through today. We now know others after us and we got All might's number for emergencies."
"Yeah they sure did, So what now?" asked Hanah.
"Well I need to go talk to my mom right now," said Izuku as he got ready to leave. "Need to calm her down about working with Turk again."
Sarah gave Izuku a small smile. "I'm guessing she has issues with you working with a notorious gang leader."
"Not at all," said Izuku before trying to look on the bright side. "But it does give me a good excuse if I ever need to head somewhere to be Ant-man."
"Well good luck," said Hanah before catching Izuku off guard and kissing him on the lips.
Hanah then released Izuku as he looked at her in utter shock. "uhh?"
"My turn," Said Sarah as she kissed Izuku as well making his brain go blank. She then let him go giving him a warm smile. "Well don't just stand there go talk to your mom."
Izuku was a statue for a moment before turning to the door. "Right...cool...cool cool cool," he muttered as he left to go talk to his mom along the way his brain unfroze leaving him one question. What just happened?
Next Time: School and love talk | You want to read this now just head over to my page. ~P-A-T-R-E-O-N~ Lorenzo the story teller. There you can read all chapters a head of time and my exclusive stories.
A/N: So you're probably wonder where I was and why I wasn't uploading any fics, well I write at work between tasks and this last week I was in charge of training the new girl, the only problem is that IT wasn't able to get her her log ins for the computers for a whole week, meaning she had to use my computer during training, my job is boring as hell in the first place it's even more boring when I have to watch someone else do without doing anything else, to make it worse her pass time between tasks was playing solitaire for hours and that's not a fun game to watch someone else play, I'm pretty sure I fell asleep at one point.
Though rant aside what did you think of the chapter and what I'm doing with some of the characters, I'm really curious what you guys think.
Also if you read this far type cookie in the comments section if you're going to leave one, I kind of curious aswell how many of you guys actually take the time and read the author's notes.
