Everyone looked towards the slowly waking up Karpov in disgust. “In 1991, December, Hydra got a certain information that a car was carrying 5 super soldier serum samples.

So Karpov ordered his Winter Soldier…” I pointed at Karpov then at Bucky who realised what I was about to say along with Steve.

“… to kill the occupants of the car and retrieve the 5 samples after saying the code words. The occupants of the car was…”

Before I could finish Tony interrupted me. “…Mum and dad!” Tony looked at Bucky in anger and rushed towards him.

Thor stopped him from going any further and held him back as he screamed at Bucky. It took a while, but Vision and Wanda managed to calm him down with their abilities.

“Tony, you have got to understand he wasn’t in control. I showed you what happens when the code is said. He is a robot like your suits which follow your command when given the order. You are venting your anger on the wrong person.” I said as I pointed at Karpov who looked at me in fear.

Hearing this Tony stood up and walked towards Karpov before he started assaulting him.

“Anyone want to stop him?” Vision asked from the side.

“Fucker deserves it!” Was the general response of everyone.

“Vision, may I?” I asked as I pointed at the stone on his head to which he nodded and took out and gave it to me.

I took the Stone and walked towards Bucky who was sat down watching me. “I am going to remove the commands from your mind.” I told him to which he looked at me in confusion.

Using the mind stone, I quickly erased the commands from his mind. After that I gave the stone back the Vision who placed it back on his head.

I once more took the book out and repeated the command to see if the hold on Bucky was still there.

Both Bucky and Rogers sighed in relief seeing nothing had happened. “You are free Bucky.” I told him with a smiled.

“Thanks.” He smiled back in genuine thanks as Rogers nodded at me.

I turned back to see Karpov was nearly dying by Tony’s repeated assault to his face.

I quickly went to him and pulled Tony back. “Don’t stop me!” He shouted at me in rage.

“Who told you I was?” I said and removed the gag on Karpov before feeding him a pill. All his wounds began closing and he was back to normal very quickly.

“You may start.” I said while placing the gag back much to Karpov’s horror as he realised what was happening.

Tony did not need saying as he went back to punching Karpov.

“So how long are we going to keep this going?” Vision asked.

“Till he vents everything. Otherwise, a part of him will hold it against Bucky forever.” I answered Vision.

“What about them?” Vision asked as he pointed at the slowly waking up 5 winter soldiers.

“They were the 5 other winter soldiers created with the serum on Howard’s car.” I told him.

Seeing everyone’s worried look I answered them. “I have taken away their power and they are just a very highly trained death squad.”

Rogers took Bucky to be examined while everyone else took the 5 winter soldiers to a confinement area.

Tony calmed down after 1 hour of continuously beating up Karpov. “You, ok?” I asked him.

“Never felt so satisfied and thankful to you.” He said tiredly as I fed another pill to Karpov.

“Do you want to kill him?” I asked Tony.

He was silent for a moment before he shook his head. “No. Death is an easy way out for him. I want him to suffer.” Tony said as he kicked with full force at Karpov’s balls.

Yeah, Karpov definitely lost his balls.

“Don’t heal that.” Tony told me as he left.

I turned towards Bruce to see he had transformed into hulk. “Yeah, he came out seeing the kick to the balls. No man can exactly remain calm seeing that you know.” Bruce replied in smile before he went back to normal.

I took Karpov to his confinement area and did some emergency treatment on him to make sure he wouldn’t die.

Natasha called the UN officials who quickly send a team to come by and pick them up.

The person leading them was Thaddeus Ross. He looked pretty happy to have some ancient hydra with him.

He saw Karpov’s condition and was subtly hinting at Tony to use that as some kind of threat from human rights. His subtle hints were the need for the free Bruce.

However, he quickly stopped talking when I walked past to get a glass of water.

“Never mind. Forget about it. I think he must have resisted when you tried to capture him.” Saying that he quickly left after glancing behind Tony, at me.

Tony turned back to look at me smirking before pointing at Ross. “How did you do that?”

“A video of him drunk amidst some strippers in Afghanistan back in his day got him to shut up about creating new legislation against the Avengers.” I told him as I drank the water.

“$1 million for the video” Tony looked excited.

I shrugged as I walked away with the glass as he came following me offering me more and more deals to get the video.

The next day Scott and T'Challa arrived.

I introduced everyone to the new arrivals while Tony went off to mentor Peter.

Needless to say, Scott was too excited to meet everyone while T'Challa stayed calm.

They all started doing some team exercise while I did some one-to-one session especially with T'Challa and Scott.

When I saw the ant man’s suit in the movie I was fascinated by it. But now comparing the primitive applications of Pym particle with how I used it in my suit, I rolled my eyes.

“Give me the suit.” I stretched out my hands towards Scott who seemed reluctant to hand it to me.

I rolled my eyes and snapped my fingers. Suddenly he was naked while his suit appeared on my hand. “Hey! Wait what?!” He looked at his naked self then at the suit in my hand in confusion.

“Don’t touch that!” He shouted at me as I started taking apart the control modules in his suit.

I held him in the air as he kept on warning and talking to me. Bruce came in to see what the noise was about.

“Everything ok here?” He asked as he looked at Scott screaming at me to stop while naked in mid-air.

“Does it look like everything is okay, Mr Hulk?” Scott asked Bruce in annoyance.

“Yeah, just upgrading this backstreet tech.” I replied.

“Ok cool.” Bruce left.

“Hey don’t leave. Stop him before he damages the suit. Hank doesn’t like people messing with his stuff.” He kept on saying.

I quickly implemented both a software and hardware upgrade for his suit and was done within 2 hours.

I unfroze him and snapped. “Try it.” I threw the new suit at him.

“What did you do to it?” He asked as he examined the suit.

“Made it better.” He looked at me in suspicion.

“If anything goes wrong you guys’ better take care of my daughter.” He said as he wore the suit.

“Woah!” He exclaimed as he saw the new visual aid for his suit.

“Where is the button?” He asked me.

“Just think if you want to be small, big or normal.” I answered.

“Whaaaaaa…!” He suddenly became small.

“How did that happennnnnn!?” He suddenly became normal.

“It happens whenever you think about it. Also disks now come out of your arm, which has a hidden holster fitted with much superior homing and tracking software…” I started explaining to him the new features of his suit.

Needless to say, Pym was shocked and not happy at the same time to see I knew about his particles and improved on it for Scott. But I did not care. “Did you steal my research?” He asked me through Scott’s communication device in anger to which I simply snapped my hand.

Suddenly his wife appeared behind him. “That should be enough payment.”

“What are you…”

“Hank?” Janet interrupted Pym.

Closing the video conference, I looked at Scott who was watching the scene with confusion. “Get out!” I kicked him out.

“T'Challa!” T'Challa came along with his suit. I began working on the Vibranium armour starting with increasing the suit’s defence, energy storage capacity etc.
