Chapter 972: Cooperation

Upon hearing Dr. Pyms introduction, Scott turned his gaze away from Hopes attractive features. However, upon realizing the significance of the name Hank Pym, he was once again taken aback.

Hank Pym?! Youre the founder of Pym Technologies!! Scott exclaimed in surprise, snapping out of his trance as he gazed at Dr. Pym.

It appears someone in this city still recognizes me, Dr. Pym replied with a smile, upon hearing Scotts outburst.

This is my daughter, Hope. I apologize for her earlier rude behavior. I trust she wont cause any more trouble, Dr. Pym said, introducing Hope and offering a polite apology.

Hope was clearly displeased with her fathers apology, but she kept quiet. Scott, on the other hand, was extremely flattered. He had expected to confront a mysterious organization but never imagined it would be the founder of the renowned Pym Technologies. To hear an apology from him in person was truly an honor.

Oh no, its fine, no need to apologize! Scott quickly replied, waving his hands. Despite the bruises around his eyes, he had no intention of pursuing the matter further after Dr. Pyms apology.

Good, now that everythings settled, lets have a chat. Come on, lets have a drink and take a seat, Dr. Pym said with a smile, walking towards the small dining room next door.

Hope walked over to Dr. Pym after glancing at Scott, who finally caught up with his helmet in hand. Scott stood in place, taking a moment to compose himself after being overwhelmed with excitement.

Take a seat, Scott. This trip shouldnt have been comfortable, Dr. Pym said as he gestured for Scott to sit across from him as he himself was already seated.

Sorry about that, Dr. Pym. Its my first time taking a flight on a flying insect and I got a little nauseous, Scott said, settling into the chair with embarra.s.sment after throwing up in the living room.

Its fine, no need to worry. Just clean it up before you go, Dr. Pym said calmly as he stirred his coffee with a small spoon.

Scott was momentarily taken aback by Dr. Pyms nonchalance but then realized he had every right to be asked to clean up after himself. Sure, Ill do that, He said.

Lets have our coffee then. Do you want sugar? Dr. Pym asked, putting down the spoon.

Yes, Ill have a piece, thanks, Scott replied, trying to appear relaxed despite the awkwardness.

Never mind, Ill pa.s.s on the sugar, Scott said as he watched the two ants move a sugar cube toward him on the table. He was captivated by their behavior and the strange experience of riding on the flying insects.

How did you do it? Scott asked, turning to Dr. Pym who was sipping his tea.

Do what? Dr. Pym asked, looking up at Scott.

How do you control these ants and the flying insects? Scott asked with genuine curiosity, pointing to the ants on the table.

Its quite simple, actually. I use this brainwave device to emit electromagnetic waves that stimulate their nervous system, allowing me to control their behavior, Dr. Pym explained, gesturing to a device in his ear that resembled a hearing aid. He was open about his methods and technology.

What an amazing technology! Scott couldnt help but sigh with emotion at Dr. Pyms answer.

Being a masters degree holder in electrical engineering, Scott couldnt even fathom the level of advancement in this technology. He felt that he still had a long way to go.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, Dr. Pym said with a smile, noticing Scotts surprised expression. What about the Ant-Man suit? Thats a pretty miraculous thing, isnt it? he added, reminding Scott of the suit that allowed people to shrink to the size of ants.

Thats the Ant-Man suit I designed to work with Pym Particles. When you wear it, you wont experience any tearing while shrinking or growing, Dr. Pym explained, nodding and speaking with a casual tone.

Pym Particles?! Thats incredible! Scott couldnt help but be amazed by everything he had learned in the last few minutes. The information he had learned was more exciting than anything he had experienced in his life.

Now that youve agreed to work with me, let me explain the details of our collaboration. As you know, I am the founder of Pym Technology. Do you know who currently runs the company? Dr. Pym continued.

Darren Cross, also a brilliant mind, Scott replied.

Ha, hes just one of my former pupils, Dr. Pym chuckled.

During the conversation, Dr. Pym informed Scott about Darren Cross intentions to create his own Ant-Man suit and his ambitions.

Dr. Pym also explained that their plan was to stop Darren Cross and prevent him from completing his experiment by stealing the Ant-Man suit. Given Scotts background as a thief, he was considered the ideal candidate for the job.

So, do you understand why I asked you to cooperate? As long as our plan is successful, you would be able to save the world. Dr. Pym finally explained the situation to Scott.

Speaking of which, this Darren Ross is indeed a genius. He developed the Pym Particle and the Antman suit without your help. Hearing what Dr. Pym said, Scott first praised Darren Ross.

Of course, if he really intends to use the Antman Suit to partic.i.p.ate in the war, of course, I am willing to stop him with you. However, shouldnt the Avengers be notified of this kind of thing first? They should be professional at this? Scott proposed, with some hesitation, to notify the Avengers.

Oh! I established Pym Technology solely to keep my technology from ending up in Starks hands, and collaborating with the Avengers is out of the question now. Dr. Pym stated firmly with a stern expression, in response to Scotts proposal.

After the creation of the PymParticle, Dr. Pym resigned from his position at s.h.i.+ELD due to conflicts with others, despite previously working alongside Howard Stark.

As a result, Dr. Pym is not open to cooperation with Tony Stark, the son of Howard Stark, despite the pa.s.sing of decades. The relations.h.i.+p between Tony Stark and s.h.i.+ELD remains unclear so he doesnt want to include them.
