Embarking on one of the most dangerous heists of his life, Scott Lang leaped down the narrow pipe, readying himself for whatever he would find on the other side.

Thankfully, Peter already shut down all of the sensors and lasers. Otherwise, Scott would have tripped the alarm before being sliced into finely diced pieces.

'Will it be a trap like in the movie?' Peter wondered as he watched through the monitors.

The wind whistled past Scott as he plummeted through the darkness.

Suddenly, he saw a glimmer of light ahead and he braced himself for impact. He shot out of the bottom of the pipe and performed a perfect superhero landing.

His heart raced as he looked around, though he didn't like what he saw.

Immediately, Scott realized he had been caught in a sealed glass box at the center of the vault with everyone inside staring at him, including Darren Cross, who had his face rather close to the glass.

"Hi there, little guy." Cross said, a wicked grin on his face. "I knew you would come."

Scott tried to bang on the glass, hoping to break it open, but it seemed to be bulletproof. He looked around for a way out and noticed that the pipe up above was still open, though it was supposed to have closed by now.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you trapped." Peter's reassuring voice echoed in his ear. "He tried to reactivate the lasers, but I kept them off."

"Does he know?" Scott asks in a hushed whisper.

"He shouldn't." Peter replies.

As Scott was whispering to himself in the miniature cell, Cross turned to his former mentor.

"I always suspected that you stashed away a suit somewhere, which begs the question, who is the new Ant-Man? Who is the man that my beloved teacher trusted even more than me?" Cross pauses for a moment and looks expectantly toward the glass cell.

Seeing the bad guy call him out, Scott reached up to open his helmet.

"Stop!" Peter called out over the helmet.

"Huh? What?" Scott whispered as everyone around watched him in interest.

"He doesn't know who you are, so why are you about to reveal yourself?" Peter was shocked that he had to explain this. "First rule of being a hero. Keep your identity a secret."

"Huh? What about Stark? He doesn't hide." Scott asks in confusion.

"Does Stark have a daughter that he has to protect?" Peter asked as if Scott were a blubbering idiot. "You do know that revealing yourself could put her in danger, right?"

In the movie, Cross managed to figure out that it was Scott who was in the Ant-Man suit, which subsequently put his daughter, Cassie in danger, but luckily, that didn't seem to be the case anymore.

"Ugh!" Hank grunted as he fell onto the padded training mat in his basement, his daughter beside him.

As they landed on the ground, Hank looked around, trying to figure out where they were.

"We're back home?" Hope muttered in confusion.

"Yeah, you're welcome by the way." A voice calls out from across the room.

Turning their heads, the father and daughter found Peter peaking his head out from the security room.

Instantly, they realized that they were saved by Spider-Man.

"If you can just open portals like that, why didn't we use that to steal the suits?" Pym asked incredulously.

If it was so easy to get into the vault, then they could've ended this days ago.

"Well, this is Scott's admission trial for the Avengers. If I helped him too much, then that would be cheating." Peter shrugs uncaringly.

"This is serious!" Hope spoke up in anger. "Scott's still trapped there!"

"Yes, and those suits are about to be sold. This isn't a time for trials..." Pym lectured.

"Well, to me this is a rather tame situation. As for Scott..." Peter peaks over at the monitors. "Who said he was still trapped?"

""?!""

As Hope and Pym disappeared from the vault, Scott didn't seem to notice as he was too busy preparing his escape.

Although the pipe leading to the glass cell was still open, going that way wasn't exactly viable, so he decided to do something rather dangerous.

Pulling a small disk with a blue shine from his belt, Scott didn't think much as he tossed it at the glass wall.

As he did so, Scott recalled Pym's earlier words. 'Here, use these if you need them. Just throw them at your target. Red shrinks and blue expands. Careful not to damage them. The outcome could be rather explosive...'

"Don't die... Don't die... Don't die..." Scott repeated as he pulled his Kree blaster and opened fire.

As the blue expansion disk hit the wall, it was immediately struck by a bright laser bolt, breaking it in half.

*Boom!*

A loud explosion rocked the cell, shattering the thick bulletproof glass, and breaking it open.

"What the-" Cross muttered as he turned just in time to see Ant-Man dive out of the destroyed trap, growing back to his normal size in an instant.

"Hey, motherf*cker!" Scott greeted him with a heavy punch to the face, sending Cross falling to the floor.
