Morning: Unknown House
Inside: Bedroom ⌨️

Scott wakes up the next morning in a bedroom, he looks up at the ceiling before lifting his head up and sees Hope and Amy standing at the end of the bed, both texting in their phones; Amy standing on Hope's left.

Scott gasps through his nose as he sits and jumps up in shock, when he sees Hope and Amy who both glance over to him.

Scott greets awkwardly as the two are silent, "Hello." The two don't look up but Amy is amused by his nervousness and shock. Scott alarmed by the unknown people to him in the room, he glances to the side before asking them, "Who are you?" They don't answer; Hope doesn't look up as she continues to text, Amy smirks at the question as she continues to text. Scott asks another question, "Have you been standing there, watching me sleep, this whole time?"

Hope doesn't look up as she answers a bit annoyed, for them both, "Yes."

Scott asks them, still confused, "Why?"

Hope looks up at Scott and crosses her arms as she answers him, "Because the last time you were here, you stole something." Amy stops texting and looks up towards Scott to see his reaction.

Scott looks around as he realizes that he's in the target house that he stole the suit in aka Hank's house and suit, "Oh. Oh!" He drops back down against the pillows as he puts his hands to his head, he then quickly sits up and throws the covers off him, "Hey, look." Scott goes to step out of bed but recoils and puts his feet back on the bed when he sees an army of ants crawling all over the floor beside his bed, "Whoa!"

Amy drops her arms and clasps her wrist in front of her professionally as she holds her phone in one hand, she's looking at Scott amused while she explains about the ants, "Paraponera clavata. Giant tropical bullet ants, ranked highest on the Schmidt pain index."

Hope tells Scott with annoyed blank look, "They're here to keep an eye on you when I can't." Scott looking at them shocked, "Dr. Pym's waiting for you downstairs." She turns and walks out of the room without another word.

Scott asks as he calls out after Hope, forgetting Amy in the room for a second, he doesn't know Hank's name or who he is, "Who?" He looks over the bed to the floor, seeing the ants, he groans in disgust, he calls out to Hope again, even though she's long gone, "Hey! Um... Whose pajamas are these?" He gets no response, he sighs and looks forward, he does a double take as he looks at Amy who hasn't moved and still looking at him amused, he narrows his eyes and points to her, "Hey, aren't you, Amy Stark?" Amy nods silently, Scott widen his eyes surprised, "Wow." He then asks as he looks and points to the floor where he ants are, "How am I supposed to do this?"

Scott slowly puts his foot down tentatively onto the floor and the ants make space for his foot, he sets the other one down and the ants move to make space again.

Amy watching Scott as he slowly steps on the carpet, she tells him as she side-steps towards the door, "I think you got this." She turns around to her right and leaves the room.

Scott mutters to himself as he barely heard Amy leave the room, "All right, just one step at a time." He holds onto the wall as he slowly steps towards the door with a big step as the ants make room for his feet, Scott disgusted by all the ants, "Ugh." He tells the ants, "You don't bite me. I don't step on you. Deal?" He makes it to the door and steps out into the hallway where more ants are.

Scott slowly stepping in the spaces that the ants are giving him as he walks down the hallway towards the dining room.
