"ALRIGHT, JUST so we're clear, everyone knows their role, right?" Scott asked, early the next day. "Dave?"

"Wheels on the ground."

"Kurt?"

"Eyes in the sky." Kurt replied, pointing to the ceiling.

"Christine?"

"Get away driver, or backup if need be." she replied with a small smile.

"Luis?"

Luis had that knowing smile. "Aw, man you know it. You know what? I get to wear a uniform. That's what's up!"

"Luis." Scott pressed. Behind him, Hope looked at Hank with a smirk while Hank gave Louis a disgusted look.

"Sorry. I'm good, I'm good. I'm just excited. And plus, Hope is really hot, so that makes me nervous too." Hope gave him a look, and Luis stopped smiling. "And you are very beautiful ma'am."

"Oh my Lord..." Hank mumbled.

Scott pursed his lips, shaking his head. Christina couldn't help but smirk, cocking an eyebrow. "Aye, you know what? I was thinking about tactic," Luis continued. "like when I go undercover. Like whistling, you know what I'm saying? To like blend in."

"No." Scott frowned. "Don't whistle. No whistling. It's not the Andy Griffith Show. Don't whistle."

THE VAN rolled up near the front of the building, and Kurt exited the vehicle to set up their cover. While placing down cones, Christina moved between the front seats, dressed in electrician clothing. Accompanying her in the back, was Scott dressed in his Ant-Man gear.

Inside the building, Louis checked himself through security, getting through without a problem.

Kurt entered the vehicle, sitting in the passenger side. "We're set."

"Wish me luck." Scott said, with an uneasy expression. Christina smiled under the brim of her hat, looking up to meet his gaze.

"Good luck, Scott."

Scott smiled, exiting the van and shrinking down before jumping down the grate beside the van. Kurt and Chris switched places; her moving to the passenger seat and Kurt sitting in the back. He opened his laptop, starting his process of monitoring Pym Tech. After a short moment, he looked up. "Utilities online."

After a few moments, Kurt noticed the water levels dropping, Thanks to Luis inside the building. "Water level is dropping!" he announced.

Kurt watched on the computer as Scott traveled inside the pipe, coming closer and closer to the point to exit. "Coming up on the extraction point."

"I see it!" Scott replied, the sound of rushing water in the background. They all listened as Scott talked to the ants helping him. "Alright I gotta get up there. That's it, that's it, guys. Yes!"

"The Ant-Man is in the building." Kurt said, making Chris smile, relaxing in her seat.

Dave raised a pair of binoculars to his eyes. "Pym's pulling up, right on time." he said, watching Hank drive through the security gate. A sudden hiss made Chris look over at Dave, who gestured across the street. "Got a Crown Vic right outside there."

"This is problem?" Kurt asked, his face nearing the gate that separated him from the other two.

"Considering Crown Vic's are the most commonly used cars for undercover cops, man. Yes, this is problem."

"Probably Maggie's boyfriend; Paxton." Chris suggested, before Paxton and his partner exited their vehicle, racing to catch Hank in his car.

"Oh no." Dave mumbled, watching as well.

"I'm deploying the bullet ants. Papanera Claire de Merna Merna... I don't remember what they're called but I feel bad for this guy." Scott said, watching as the bullet ants lowered from the ceiling inside the building towards a security guard.

Luis walked up to him, standing beside him and giving him a nod. "Hey, how's it going?" he flashed his fake badge before standing 'on guard' as well.

After a few seconds, the security guard cried out, throwing himself back to the wall in pain. Luis stood for a moment before punching the guy out. He reached out his arms. "See that's what I'm talking about! That's what I call..." Luis trailed off, watching as Hope approached and opened the door. "...a very unfortunate casualty in a very serious operation..."

Hope entered the buildings mainframe, pulling out a drawer to place in the Stark technology they stole.

"Signal decoy in place." Kurt confirmed Hope's actions, typing away on his computer. "Mean pretty lady did good, Scott."

"Looks like Pym's getting arrested." Dave said, watching the two police officers with Chris.

"Scott, we have problem."

"Problem? What's the problem?" Scott asked.

Dave shook his head, suddenly exiting the van and running off. Both Chris and Kurt called after him.

They watched as Dave climbed into the Crown Vic, turning it on before driving away with Paxton and Gale running after him.

Kurt nodded. "Problem solved."

Christina climbed over the arm rests, now sitting in the driver seat. She grabbed the binoculars, watching for any other activity as Hank slipped into the building. "Hank is in the building. Scott, how are we doing?"

"Arriving at second position." Scott replied, flying over the servers. "Proceeding to command position."

They waited a few moments before Scott spoke again. "Alright guys, I'm in position. I'm going to signal the ants."

Christina looked around again just in time to see Dave sprint back to the van and jump into the passenger side. He laughed loudly. "Did you see that?! Did you see that!" he slapped Christina on the back roughly, making her fall forward onto the wheel.

Her chest pressed against the centre of it, pressing on the horn. It was a long one, unfortunately that instantly gave away their position. Christina slowly rose from the wheel, looking at Dave with a gaped mouth. "Nice going, you idiot."

"Assume formation." Scott dictated. "Alright you cute little crazies, let's fry these servers!"

"Server's are fried. Data backup completely erased!" Kurt swallowed, eyes rapidly moving around the screen.

"Heading to the particle chamber."

"Guys? I think we may have another problem. Pax on our eleven o'clock." Christina mumbled, nodding ahead. Dave looked as well before ushering Chris to the back along with himself.

"I know this van." Paxton said to his partner when they neared the van. He knocked on the window. "Anybody home?"

Dave cursed to himself, sitting down on the ground. Kurt shushed him and Dave did it back. Christina glared at both.

"Alright guys, I'm here." Scott informed. "I'm setting the charges."

Christina peaked over the seat beside Dave, watching as Paxton neared his face to the window to look in. She hunched back down, out of sight.

"Final position. Uh, guys? How are we looking on that laser grid?"

"Almost." Kurt said.

"No you're not." Dave shook his head, seeing the loading bar only half way.

"I'm getting close!" Kurt blurted, lying on his stomach.

"No you're not." Dave repeated, eyeing the screen.

"It's a waiting game, Scott. Hold tight." Christina added, trying to have some hope.

The heavy pounds of a fist against the van doors made her flinch. "San Francisco PD!" Paxton yelled. "Open the van!"

"Shit, shit, shit!" Christina cursed under her breath, pushing her baseball cap lower over her eyes.

"I know you're in there!"

"Make it go faster." Dave whispered.

"Dude, seriously!" Kurt spat, growing very impatient.

"Ready to jump. Do you read, Kurt?"

"So close." Kurt whispered, seeing the bar almost at ninety percent.

The van doors suddenly swung open with Paxton and Gale raising their guns. "Freeze!"

All three raised their hands.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Dave rushed, sticking his hands out. "There was a black guy who looked exactly like me who attacked us and put us in this disgusting van—"

Paxton stepped forward. "Get out!" He pulled Dave out before hauling Christina our next, forcing them both to the ground.

Just as they were pulled Kurt out, he called for Scott to jump, struggling to push the space bar. "Wait!"

"What?!" Scott exclaimed, nosediving towards the lasers. "What do you mean wait?"

Kurt strained, barely making it to press the key. He sighed in relief, allowing Paxton to push him to the ground with the two others.
