Chapter 145


Maddy, Steve, Natasha and Scott sat at a table in a small cafe....at the end of the table sat the Hulk but was actually talking like Banner.

"Come on, I feel like I'm the only one eating! Try some of that! Have some eggs," The Hulk said.

"I am so confused," Maddy replied.

"These are confusing times" The Hulk laughed.

Confusion filled everyone's eyes....except The Hulk.

"I know it's crazy! I'm wearing shirts now!" The Hulk said.

"How?" Scott spoke up.

"Five years ago, we got our asses beaten. Except it was worse for me! Because I lost twice . First, Hulk lost, then Banner lost. Then...we all lost," The Hulk replied.

"No one blamed you, Bruce," Natasha spoke up.

"I did! For years, I've been treating the Hulk like he's some kind of disease, something to get rid of. But then I started looking at him as the cure. 18 months in a gamma lab. I put the brains and the brawn together. And now look at me! Best of both worlds," The Hulk smiled.

Suddenly three small kids walked up to the table....looking from Maddy than to Hulk.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hulk? Miss America?" A small girl asked.

"Yes?" Maddy and The Hulk said.

"Can we get a photo? Please?" The girl asked.

"Sure....sweetheart!" Maddy smiled, looking over at The Hulk.

"100%, little person! Come on, step up!" The Hulk laughed.

"Scott....you mind?" Maddy asked.

"Oh uh sure!" Scott smiled.

"Thanks!" Maddy smiled.

Maddy moved over near Hulk and the small kids....holding up a peace sign.

"Did you get it?" Hulk asked.

Scott nodded and handed the kids the phone back.

"Don't you wanna grab one with me? I'm Ant-Man." Scott said.

The kids just stared at Scott....

"Whose Ant-Man?" The girl asked.

Maddy threw her head back and laughed....soon everyone joined in.

"They're Hulk and Miss America fans, they don't know Ant-Man......Nobody does," Scott sighed.

"Well Steve and I have been around for a while....so kids like us! Adults! and even the elderly!" Maddy smiled.

Steve nodded.

"Wait...No! No! They feel bad! You want a picture with him, right?" Hulk asked.

"Stranger Danger," A boy spoke up.

The kids quickly ran off....

"Listen to your mom! She knows better!" Hulk called out.

"About what we were saying," Steve spoke up.

"Right the whole time travel do over? Guys, it's outside my area of expertise," Hulk sighed.

"Well, you pulled this off! I remember a time when that seemed pretty impossible time, too," Natasha said.

"Maddy, what do you think," Hulk asked.

Everyone turned towards Maddy....waiting for a response.

"I believe it could be possible....which is why we need your brain," Maddy replied.

Hulk nodded.

                           *******************************************  

Everyone arrived at the Avenger's Compound, they all stood around and watched Hulk fiddle with the buttons on a panel....Scott quickly changed into his Ant-Man uniform.

"Okay! Here we go. Time travel test number one. Scott, fire up the.....the van thing," Hulk said.

Scott quickly opened up the portal.

"Breakers are set, emergency generators are on standby," Maddy replied.

"Good! Cause if we blow the grid, I don't wanna lose Tiny here in the 1950s," Hulk laughed.

"I heard the 50s were wild! Milkshakes and dancing," Maddy said.

"Excuse me?" Scott asked.

"Maddy! Stay on topic....also he's kidding! Bruce, you can't say things like that!" Natasha frowned.

"Just....it was a bad joke," Hulk smiled.

"You were kidding, right?" Maddy asked. 

Hulk motioned Maddy and Natasha towards him...

"I have no idea. We're talking about time travel here! Either it's all a joke, or none of it is," Hulk whispered.

Maddy and Natasha exchanged a weird look.

"We're good! Get your helmet on, Scott. I'm gonna send you back a week, let you walk around for an hour....then bring you back in 10 seconds. Make sense?" Hulk asked.

"Perfectly not confusing," Scott sighed.

"Good luck, Scott. You got this," Both Steve and Maddy said.

"You both are right. I do! Thank you Miss America and Captain America," Scott smiled, saluting them both.

Hulk presses a button, and Scott disappeared into the Quantum Tunnel.

"On the count of three. 3......2.....1!" Hulk said.

Hulk pressed another button...and someone in the Ant-Man suit comes back. Looking much younger than Scott.

"Scott?" Maddy asked.

"Uh, guys? This...this doesn't feel right," Young Scott said.

"What is this?" Steve asked.

"What's going on?" Hulk asked.

"That....who is that?" Natasha asked.

"It's Scott," Maddy said.

Hulk pressed some more buttons....trying to fix the problem.

"HOLD ON!" Hulk yelled, panic filled his voice.

"Are we sure that's Scott?" Natasha asked.

Maddy frowned.

"Yes. It's Scott," Young Scott said.

Young Scott gets sucked back into the Quantum tunnel....then someone much older appeared in the Ant-Man suit.

"Ow! My back!" Older Scott groaned.

"What is this?" Steve asked.

"Can I get a little space here?" Hulk asked.

"Yeah Yeah....Can you bring him back?" Steve asked.

"I'M WORKING ON IT!" Hulk yelled.

All of a sudden.....another person appeared in front of them. Only this time, it was a baby in the Ant-Man suit.

"It's a baby!" Steve yelled.

"It's still Scott," Maddy sighed.

"AS A BABY!" Steve yelled.

"He'll grow," Hulk shrugged.

"BRING HIM BACK!" Steve ordered.

"Maddy, when I say kill the power, kill the power," Hulk ordered.

"Okay!" Maddy said, rushing towards the generator.

"And......Kill it!" Hulk said.

Maddy pulled down a lever...and everything shuts down. Scott, the normal Scott, gets spewed back in.

"SOMEBODY PEED MY PANTS!" Scott yelled.

"Oh thank god!" Maddy and Natasha both said.

"I don't know if it was 'baby' me or 'old' me....or just 'me' me," Scott frowned.

"TIME TRAVEL!" Hulk replied. 

Everyone turned to look at him....

"What? I see this as an absolute win!" Hulk smiled.
