Something More: The Yellow Jacket

Chapter 4

The next day was more or less the same except for one crucial detail: he was now in charge. "Good morning people!" Darren came into the building with a giant smile on his face. "First things first! I have a new vision for this company" Darren said grinning from ear to ear. Hope walked over to him "Good morning Darren, may I ask exactly what you're planning to do?" she gave him a puzzled look. "Hope I will explain everything during our meeting this afternoon, other than that I can't say much" he said walking off.

The meeting had begun and everyone was seated. It was time for Darren to tell everyone about his big idea. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen" He started. "We are a tech company devoted to creating new technology that will change the world for the better!" He paused for a second. "I have been testing on an idea I've been quite fond of for a while and there's only so much you can accomplish at home...". "This idea will require everyone including me to start working as soon as possible!" He continued. "The 'Pym Particle' , a piece of fiction that Hank had been thinking of, will soon be reality with me in charge" he paused once more.

"Hank Pym had refused to help me build this tech and what exactly might it do I hear you asking... the 'Pym Particle' supposedly has the ability to safely shrink a man to the size of an insect and normal again in as fast as five seconds!" Darren looked around and everyone was staring at him now, eyes fixed up front. Once he was aware of their full attention he continued "I now have access to the testing in this facility and can start creating Hank's vision into a reality" he paused.

"I need help from everyone in this room to begin creating this incredible piece of technology." He waited for a moment before carrying on. "Now I hear some of you asking what's a particle without something to contain it... and I have an answer" he paused for effect. "In my research I found another myth that I can turn into reality called 'The Ant-man suit'. Hank had told me it had the ability to access farther into the abilities of the particle." "I have redesigned the suit into something new, something that won't stay a myth" he pulled out a blueprint design. "This is what I call the Yellow Jacket suit!"

Everyone had now begun clapping Darren bowed "Thank you all for listening to my presentation I hope we can all collaborate as soon as possible" he finished. He walked out of the room and went to get a drink of water. As he was walking Hope followed him. "Hello Hope" he turned around. "Have any questions about my designs, or my ideas?" he asked, staring at her. "I-" She paused and stared back at him. Instead of trying to reason with him she said this; "I have to go for lunch...have a good evening" she walked off. Darren was confused but he wasn't going to let her bother him he had bigger plans much bigger plans... The whole company was his for the creating.
