Y/N and Yelena were back with Hank in the makeshift laboratory. Y/N was fixing his suit while Hank was busy creating a virus using the string of code the two collected. The old man was on a rant about Starr and what happened between them.

Hank: Elihas Starr is a liar and a traitor. I caught him trying to steal my research related to a theoretical quantum tunnel. It was too dangerous even for Starr to control. I had no involvement in its failure.

Y/N: Well, whatever happened in Argentina has seriously messed him up. He's got his own daughter running around as a trained killer seeking revenge against you and anyone associated with the Pym name. And he's just crazy enough to wipe out everyone, including himself.

Hank: Starr was always arrogant and thought mighty of himself. That's one of the reasons I despised him. However, he always cared about his family. Something must have changed.

Y/N thought for a moment before looking towards his mentor. 

Y/N: I found it odd that Starr said he was safe while his daughter suffered the most from the quantum energy that was released. he was exposed to that blast too. Is it possible that he was affected just at a neurological level, like how the Pym Particles can affect brain chemistry?

Pym looked at his pupil, a bit stunned that he thought of such an idea. After a moment of thinking, he gave his reply.

Hank: The Pym Particles use a synthesized form of quantum energy to operate effectively. It's entirely possible that the unregulated amount of quantum energy Elihas was exposed to could have altered his brain chemistry, putting revenge at the forefront and blocking out logical reasoning.

Yelena: That would certainly explain the whole 'allying with the enemy' thing he's got going.

Y/N: And it's also not the first time we've encountered someone like this. He may very well be beyond saving at this point. 

Pym finished typing in a few keys as the data drive was uploaded with the virus.

Hank: This should work. The virus should be effective against the  base code. You wipe that out, you wipe out the algorithm and the entire network controlling those drones.

Y/N: The base code? You mean we'll have to insert this into Zola himself?

Hank: It's the only way to not only wipe out the algorithm, but HYDRA as a whole. Without Zola, they've got nothing left. 

Y/N: Great. So we just have to sneak back in and upload this thing. Sounds simple enough.

Yelena: I wouldn't be so quick to bank on that just yet.

The blonde woman was looking at a series of cameras they had looking out at the facility. They noticed several large moving vans and trucks taking whatever was inside the theatre outside.

Y/N: They're moving to a new location. They know they've been compromised.

Hank: Follow them.

The ants with the cameras attached to them followed the trucks for a while. After a few minutes, the vehicles parked inside of a large facility before the garage doors were sealed shut.

Hank: Shit.

Y/N: What?

Hank: That's a secure S.H.I.E.L.D. research facility. They've turned on the blast door protocol. It was meant to protect the building in case of a possible nuclear warhead. No living being can get inside with those things shut.

Yelena: Well that's just perfect.

Y/N: Hank, you've got to know more about that place. Are there any blind spots or potential entrances we could use?
