Can insects dream?
We know it will. The man we know, Hank PIM, he will.
In his most common dreams, he and his girlfriend toured the Danube River, walked through Budapest's most famous residential areas and strolled through the antique streets.
To be sure, it wasn't his girlfriend, but his fiancee. They were supposed to get married after the trip.
While he was still thinking about which way to get back to their hotel as soon as possible, the screeching noise of a black car's tires scraping the ground sounded in his ear.
"No one can escape!"
Almost as the car passed by, the man leaning out of the window said, and the masked man took out his submachine gun.
It was a dream. PIM couldn't do anything. He could only see his fiancee standing in front of him and being swept to the ground in the rain of bullets.
When the vehicle left at a high speed and he was holding his fiancee and crying, there was an explosion in Budapest, and the logistic and Hydra agents rushed towards the explosion like moths to the fire.
Everyone passed by his side, but no one looked at him. He seemed to be abandoned by the world.
He woke up, sweating as usual, and though it was midnight, he couldn't sleep any more. Watching one's lover die in his arms is something that human beings can't forget.
The nightmare kept repeating itself in his mind.
Although things have been going on for many years, he can see the phantom of his girlfriend. She is here, talking to him and playing games with him.
As a scientist, he knew that he had some mental problems. He also talked to a psychiatrist in the aegis Bureau. However, compared with the general PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) therapy, it was useless.
The shadow of his girlfriend is always with him, making him sink into the whirlpool of happiness and sorrow.
Reason knows this is not right, but emotionally it is like addiction, even if he knows that his girlfriend has already left, he can not let go.
So after being awakened by the nightmare again, he went underground as usual, went into his basement, put on the special red uniform and the silver helmet like an astronaut.
He came to his backyard, then pressed the red button on his palm, and his whole person became smaller than an ant in an instant.
Yes, he can only get rid of those illusions in the past in such a way, because he is smaller, the soul of his girlfriend can not see him.
Through the lawn like a virgin forest, I know clearly that the grass mowed by genius is like a towering tree to him now, and the unformed dew on the grass leaves will be able to wash him out for a long time.
But his goal is not here. He sends out invisible commands through a hormone transmitter in his helmet.
Soon, a big red ant showed his head from behind the grass roots. His red glasses looked at him, and then rubbed him with his tentacles.
He climbed up the ant's back and let the elephant like insect carry him to the ant hole.
The ants there are his friends. He still has human power after he becomes an ant, so he helps them carry food, resist the enemy, and really leads an ant like life.
Ant hole is his refuge, to help him away from the cruel reality, because the ants are very simple, and when they are together, they will not think of the sad past.
But evasion is only temporary. Today in 1980, he is in his thirties and works in the aegis Bureau.
He had to work to maintain his scientific research and his secret life. He had been a volunteer policeman for several years as an ant man, but no one had ever said that it would cost so much money to be a volunteer policeman.
While playing with ants, he was thinking about many things. At least, he didn't have to go to work today, because there was an annual meeting of physicists in Arizona. He needed to give a speech at the meeting. Howard said that he could take him by private plane.
A few years ago, the aegis lost many excellent scientists. Dr. Richards, Dr. Zola, and Dr. Tesla died for various reasons. After Howard became the director, the title of the aegis chief scientific adviser fell to hank.
Dr. Richards's son, Reid, is now pursuing his fourth Ph.D. degree. Originally, he should have inherited his father's career and entered the aegis. Unfortunately, he was taken away by the military, because major Ross of the military robbed Reid when aim tried to kidnap him.
At present, the science department of aegis is facing a serious shortage. PIM is tired like a dog every day, but this is life.
After finishing the weightlifting game with the ants, he left the ant cave and returned to his original shape and went to the bathroom to take a bath. The phantom of his girlfriend reappeared and was pasted behind him with a smile.
He could see her face through a steamy mirror and feel the touch of her skin. If she had not tried it a few years ago, she would have believed it.PIM, accustomed to the bizarre scenes, dried his hair with a towel, slipped into his suit, and drove to the airport, where stark Industrial's plane was waiting for him.
The white beard of the old man, who was on the sofa, told the old man, who was sitting on the sofa with white hair, to get on and off the plane.
"You look tired, my little friend. Come and sit down." Howard waved and told the flight attendant, "open another bottle of champagne to quench my colleague's thirst."
"No, Howard, thank you." PIM squeezed out a smile and sat on the sofa opposite Howard, staring at his girlfriend's phantom sitting on his lap: "I'm going to publish a paper on bioelectricity today. Drinking is not a good choice now."
Howard laughed, and he always felt that hank seemed to be talking in the empty space: "your loss, my wine here is Skywalker's good wine. Most people don't drink it when they come. Forget it, beauties. Give him a glass of milk
Hank couldn't resist the milk. He did not eat in the morning: "is there anything to eat? Bread will do. "
"I've got Wilson's cheeseburger. I was going to make lunch for you." Howard asked the stewardess to bring a small paper bag and ordered the plane to take off.
Although he flies to Arizona with stark industrial aircraft, in fact, the crew are all disguised by aegis agents, and the aegis fighters will follow the escort. He knows that he is the target of countless people.
PIM thanks him again, and then over the clouds he eats and chats with Howard to avoid staring at the phantom.
Even if there is no topic, PIM has to find a topic.
"Is Dr. Vanke really a leviathan spy?" He asked stark.
Howard also posed to look around, as if to see if the stewardesses were eavesdropping, although they were actually field agents, but PIM didn't know that.
"I didn't kill him. I just let someone drive him out of the situation and drive him back to the bear."
PIM chewed the hamburger and nodded: "so there's no evidence that he's a spy, because it's against aegis to release hostile agents."
"Yes, I have no proof." Howard wiped his beard, picked up his glass and tasted it slowly: "his country is an enemy country across the ocean. He tried to steal the computer technology left by Dr. Zola, as well as the data of the" black uterus "project. I can't leave him any more... But he should continue to live. His intelligence can continue to contribute to the cause of mankind no matter what country he is in. ”
PIM is a little happy. As a scientist, he does not kill people, and he also hopes that Howard, who is also a scientist, will not kill people, because then science will not be pure.
Unfortunately, in addition to his secret identity as director of aegis, Howard is also the largest arms dealer in the United States. He may not have killed anyone himself, but there are many souls under him.
"What about the new element reactor you worked with him on?" PIM is more concerned about this. New energy can solve many social problems.
Howard sighed and added another glass of wine.
"The theory is complete, but the process of materialization should be over. Without Dr. Vanke, we can only put it on hold... I hope he won't blame me in the future. Hi, what do I say? We're all at this age. It's no use if he resents me. He won't be back in America in his lifetime. In the future, let his son hate my son, ha ha. "
With that, Howard laughed again. Science has no national boundaries, but scientists do. He can only hope that Dr. Vanke can understand the situation of human beings in the universe and devote his energy to the real great cause.
In fact, according to the habit of spy agencies, Vanke would have died, and the black widow would have killed him in minutes. But now Howard is in charge of the aegis Bureau. In recent years, great scientists have died too much, and he is more willing to leave precious wealth for mankind.
So he raised his glass to PIM's milk and drank it like a strong drink.
