-New York City Courthouse: 9 AM-

The atmosphere in the courtroom was heavy with anticipation as Scott Lang, accompanied by his lawyers Foggy Nelson and Matthew Murdock, made his way to his seat.

Hope van Dyne, filled with unwavering support and affection for Scott, walked by his side.

The tension between Nelson and Murdock and the prosecutor sent by the District Attorney's Office was certainly palpable, and only intensified by the presence of numerous lawyers representing Vistacorp, their determination to bury the case evident.

What was even more evident was the odd connection that Vistacorp seemed to have with the District Attorney's Office.

As the proceedings began, the judge entered the room, prompting the Baliff to command the attention of everyone present. "All rise! The Honorable Judge Judith Sheindlin presiding."

(Insert picture of Judge Judy here????‍⚖️)

"You may be seated." She said as she took a seat and banged the gavel a single time. "Court is now in session."

Vistacorp's head lawyer wasted no time as he rose to his feet. "Your Honor, this entire endeavor is a waste of your and the court's time." He argued, citing the lack of new evidence to justify such a step. "There is nothing here that warrants re-examining Mr. Lang's case. And I find it odd that they would try doing so."

Hearing this, Matt turned to look at the man, as if he could see him with his blind eyes. "I find it odd that Vistacorp's entire team of lawyers found the time out of their busy schedules to attend such a small legal matter." He said, bringing attention to their weird interest in Scott's case.

The judge turned to Matt. "Thats enough Mr. Murdock. We aren't here to throw cryptic quips at one another. Do you have any evidence to present or not?"

After all, without evidence, they would have no ground to re-open the case.

Truthfully, the evidence should have been filed with their motions to re-open the case, but everything was rushed thanks to Peter calling in some favors.

The gears of the legal system started turning rapidly as soon as Spider-Man said the word.

And since it was rushed, the judge called this meeting, where they would handle everything that would normally lead up to the re-opening of a criminal case.

Swiftly, Foggy and Matt rose from their seats, producing stacks of documents from their briefcases.

"Your Honor, we have piles of undeniable evidence of Vistacorp's unethical practices, their exploitation of vulnerable customers, and their complete disregard for the law." The room fell silent as Foggy addressed the court, his voice firm and unwavering. The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

Matt chimed in, his tone assertive yet measured. "Let's start with something juicy, shall we?" He says as he picks up two documents, handing one over to the Baliff, who then brings it over to the judge.

Holding the document in the air for all to see, Matt addresses the court. "Your Honor, the document that your looking at is proof of over 100 different cases of Identity theft committed by Vistacorp and its high-level members. Not only did they illegally access customers' personal information, such as credit card details or social security numbers, they used that confidential information for their own financial gain."

The judge, contemplating the arguments presented, nodded her head.

She turned her attention to Scott's lawyers. "Mr. Nelson, Mr. Murdock, you've made a compelling case. Your motion is approved. Please don't forget to submit all of your evidence to the Court before the first trial date."

Hope, unable to contain her emotions, jumped out of her seat and wrapped her arms around Scott, happy for his victory.

Though they still had to have the trial all over again, so this was only a minor battle, which would help them win the war that was coming.

Scott awkwardly wrapped his arms around her waist, grateful for the support.

"This Court is now adjourned!" The judge calls out as she bangs the gavel one last time.

"Wait! Your Honor! You can't just-" Another Vistacorp lawyer tries to argue.

"Did you not hear me?" The judge asks as she stands from her seat.

"Your Honor, I heard you but-" He continued to try to argue.

"Then are you dumb or deaf?" She asks angrily. "Because I'd like to know the reason when I file to have you held in contempt of court."

"I-I'm sorry, Your Honor!"

While the judge was dealing with the idiotic lawyers on the other side, Scott's side was already on its way out.

Although Foggy and Matt weren't the most seasoned lawyers, they knew that it was best to stay on the judge's good side, so they decided to leave as swiftly as possible.

They only hoped that the opposing counsel would continue to dig themselves into a deeper and deeper hole.

"Wow..." Scott muttered as the courtroom doors closed behind them. "I actually think we can win this..."

Originally, he was a bit skeptical as he did commit the crimes that they sent him to prison for.

Though, after going through that, a newfound confidence filled his entire being. Scott realized that he really had a chance at what Peter promised him.

Matt smiled and placed a hand on his shoulder. "We won't just win. We'll get your record expunged, get shared custody of your daughter, and take down Vistacorp." He said, full of confidence.

"I hope you're ready, Scott." Foggy smiled, happy with their first of many victories. "Because now is when things get busy!"
