"WE CARRY ON, THROUGH THE STORM-..."
———————————


-Scott sat peacefully. He smoothed out the food wrapper to his taco, placing his foam cup in the corner. A set of tortilla chips were in front of his food. He took a taco and stuffed in its contents, ready to eat it. The winds suddenly picked up, looking into the sky to see a ship descend.

Scott watched with a frown and suddenly, sadly, a strong gush of air from the thrusters made his taco filling blow away, along with his chips and drink.

Scott had his mouth opened as Nebula and Rocket came from the ship. "Hey humie! Where's big green?" Rocket called. "The kitchen....I think." Scott answered.

Nebula neared the entrance, avoiding eye contact with the man. "That's awesome." Scott pointed at the ship. Nebula reached for her comm. "Rhodey, careful on re-entry. There's an idiot in the landing zone." She said.

In a flash, War Machine landed in front of Scott with a loud thud. Scott jumped in shock, placing a hand to his heart. "Oh my god." He mumbled.

"What's up regular sized man." Rhodey greeted and followed Nebula. Bruce came next, seeing the poor man's food in the floor. He took two tacos from his batch and handed them to Scott with a smile and nod.

Scott accepted them.














-Thor strutted into the room, wearing pajamas with crocs and sunglasses. He popped open a can and took a large gulp.

"Drifting left," Tony said from behind Thor, a pipe over his shoulder. Skylar was carrying the other end. "On the side there, Lebowski." Tony walked ahead of him, Skylar passing. She eyed Thor quickly then turned away. "That's depressing."

"Ratchet! How's it going?" Tony asked the raccoon who was working under the glass platform. "It's Rocket. Take it easy. You're only a genius on Earth, pal."

Thor burped loudly behind them.















-"Time Travel suit? Not bad." Rhodey said, entering the open room. Scott stood still as Bruce, Nebula, and Skylar worked on the suit.

Ryan came in shortly, making eye contact with Skylar.

There had been an awkward tension between them and everyone noticed.

Bruce took the Pym Particles tube, ready to place it into the suit. "Hey!Hey! Easy! Easy!" He exclaimed, grabbing the particles from Bruce's large hand. "I'm being very careful."

"No, you're being very Hulky." Scott grumbled. "Fine, I'll do it." Skylar said, shaking her head. She reached for the vial in Bruce's hand but Scott quickly snatched it. "No! I need to do it!"

Scott held up the tube. "These are Pym Particles, alright? And ever since Hank Pym got snapped out of existence, this is it. This is what we have. We're not making any more."

"Scott, calm down." Rhodey said calmly, holding out his hands. "Sorry. We've got enough for one round trip each. That's it. No do-overs. Plus two test runs," He accidentally presses a button, and shrinks, and then grows back to his normal size. "One test run."
