S.H.I.E.L.D. HEADQUARTERS

The Triskelion—S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters is still being newly built in Washington, D.C.

~
Inside: Hallway

A man in a suit walks down a hallway in determination, he reaches the end to metal slide-doors.

~
Inside: Conference Room 🎖

The metal slide-doors open and the man walks into the room that only has four people in it. The man named Dr. Hank Pym enters the room and shouts, "Stark!"

An older Howard Stark mutters, "He doesn't seem happy." He greets loudly, "Hello, Hank." He stands up, looking at Hank confused, "You're supposed to be in Moscow."

Dr. Pym walks closer and tells Howard bitterly, "I took a detour." He takes something out of his pocket and slams a vial containing a red serum on the table in front of Howard, "Through your defense lab." Howard looks down at the vial, the man sitting next to Howard on his right is Mitchell Carson who looks down at the vial with a blank look.

An older Genevieve Davis standing by Carson looks at the vial in shock and glances to Hank before looking at Howard with narrowed eyes, "Tell me that isn't what I think it is." An older Peggy Carter standing by Howard, she looks and reaches across the table to grab the vial in shock.

Dr. Pym tells Genevieve, "It depends, if you think it's a poor attempt to replicate my work." He glances at Genevieve who looks at Howard disappointed and he looks back guiltily, "Even for this group, that takes nerve."

Carson looks at Hank, telling him, "You were instructed to go to Russia. May I remind you, Dr. Pym, that you're a soldier-"

Dr. Pym cuts in as he corrects Carson, "I'm a scientist."

Howard tells Hank loudly and sternly, "Then act like one." He points to the vial in Peggy's hands, "The Pym Particle is the most revolutionary science ever developed. Help us put it to good use."

Dr. Pym looks at Howard, "I let you turn me into your errand boy, and now you try to steal my research?"

Carson looks up at Hank and says lowly and coldly, "If only you'd protected Janet with such ferocity, Dr. Pym." Howard closes his eyes and silently sighs knowingly.

Dr. Pym gets emotional and shakes his head, looking down and leans his hands on the desk in front of Carson, "Ah." Suddenly, Hank quickly looks up and reaches across the table, grabs Carson by the back of the neck and slams his face down on the table in anger.

Carson groans in pain upon impact and Genevieve quickly grabs Hank's arm that goes to punch Carson, stopping him.

Peggy steps forward towards Hank and tells him, "Easy, Hank!" Carson's nose is bloody and he shakily touches it with his fingers, he pulls his hand away and sees blood on them.

Genevieve let's go of Dr. Pym's arm who then points to Carson with his other hand, tells him dangerously calm, "You mention my wife again and I'll show you ferocity."

Carson looks up at Howard as he wipes blood from his nose, Howard glances at Carson and sees him looking at him and Howard looks away as he tells Carson, "Don't look at me. You said it." Carson looks away, glancing at the blood on his hand before looking at Hank.

Dr. Pym steps back and looks at Howard, "I formally tender my resignation."

Howard tells Hank professionally, "We don't accept it. Formally." Peggy and Genevieve share a silent look before they look to Howard as he says gentler to Hank, "Hank, we need you. The Pym Particle is a miracle. Please. Don't let your past determine the future." Carson wipes the blood off his nose with his white handkerchief.

Dr. Pym promises lowly and dangerously, "As long as I am alive, nobody will ever get that formula." Pym glances to the two women before he turns around and walks away, the metal slide-doors opens and Hank leaves the room.

Carson puts down his handkerchief and says lowly almost like in a desperate manner, "We shouldn't let him leave the building."

Genevieve turns to Carson, crossing her arms as she looks at him in disbelief, "You've already lied to him. Now you want to go to war with him?"

Carson looks up at Genevieve angrily, "Yes! Our scientists haven't come close to replicating his work."

Howard leaning his hands on the desk, he looks at Carson, "He just kicked your ass, full-size. You really want to find out what it's like when you can't see him coming?" He looks away, "I've known Hank Pym for a long time." Peggy looking at him, "He's no security risk." He stands straight and puts his hands in his pant pockets, "Unless we make him one." Carson still angry and holding the handkerchief up in front of his nose, he looks up at Howard.

26 Years Later

Outside: Park ⌨️🕊

Two pairs of shoes are walking up the hill grass towards a quiet park, the two people reveals to be Amelia 'Amy' Stark and Alexandra Jean 'AJ' Barton.

AJ walking beside Amy on her left, she asks worriedly, "Are you sure about this?"

Amy holding a file in her hands, she doesn't look at AJ as she admits, "Nope." AJ turns her head and gives her a look of disbelief, Amy glances at AJ as she tells her, "I'm just gonna go with my gut and hope for the best."

AJ narrows her eyes and teases a bit, "For a person who is engaged to Captain America, I'm surprised you didn't think this through enough."

Amy turns her head and gives a AJ an annoyed look, "I did think this through.." She looks away and adds sheepishly ".. Enough." She shrugs and mutters, unsurely, "I just don't know how it's gonna turn out."

AJ starts to say, "Well-"

Amy tells AJ as she stops walking, "Shh." They both stand about 10 feet from behind a bench, Amy points at a man seating on the bench with his back towards them, "He's there." She looks at AJ, giving her a pushy look, "Hope for the best, remember."

AJ nods as she retorts, "I remember."

Amy walks up to the bench, holding the file in her hands, she walks around it to face the man that's sitting on the bench, "Excuse me? Doctor. Hank Pym?"

The man looks up to reveal an older looking Hank Pym, "Yes?"
