Scott Lang was a peculiar man. He wasn't particularly mature, but in the right circumstances he was one of the best Avengers. They knew it, you'd thing he knew it, but he didn't.

He was spending his time in two places. He was in Atlanta during the week, and most weekends too, but every other weekend he took a plane (provided by Tony) up to the New York compound. It was a little tough, but he enjoyed it.

To be honest, he didn't really do much in New York. Scott hadn't bonded with anyone yet, and they hadn't bothered to seek out his company, so he just kind of spent all of his time in the training rooms.

Unless Hope tagged along, then they spent time together. Couple stuff and whatnot.

Ever since the death of Ant-tony, Scott had tried to not get too attached to his ants, but it didn't work that well. His weekends at the Compound also held hours of him coming up with names for them.

It was one weekend in New York, one where Hope hadn't come along, that it was time for the monthly team building exercise. Clint wasn't there because he was with his family and Vision really didn't want to go, but otherwise almost everyone was there.

This month, they were going to an escape room. They hadn't come up with code names like they usually would, so when Scott needed to get a clue to Nat, he panicked.

"Uhh... this is bug boi to Mama Spider. Do you copy?" He asked nervously.

Nat's voice echoed through his earpiece. "Scott, I'm not using that name. Choose something else. Like, countries."

Scott tried again. "Scotland to Russia, do you copy?"

"Good enough. What?"

"Oh," Scott scrambled. "I've got the code for the big door."

He told it to her, and then people started claiming their country code names.

Steve was obviously America, Bruce was Greenland, Tony had chosen Italy, Wanda was Sokovia, Thor was given Australia, T'challa was Wakanda, and Sam was dubbed Sweden. He didn't really know why, but he figured Tony (sorry- Italy) found it funny.

Peter Parker spoke last. "What should I be, guys?"

"Canada, obviously." Tony said, "Since you're always so polite and stuff."

The escape room was actually not that easy. They had started in separate rooms, and once they had left their individual spaces, some of the hallways connected and led to two other rooms. The two rooms each had a door that led to the same one room, and then that had a door that led to the exit.

Right now they were in the two bigger rooms, five in each. Everyone was having fun, and honestly, Scott was just happy to be there. Suddenly, Thor spoke through the coms. He was not in Scott's room.

"Australia has found the code! This room will proceed through yet another door!"

Nat sighed next to Scott. "Nice job, Australia. Everyone with Russia and Scotland, let's get a move on!"

It wasn't that much longer until their group got through and everyone was reunited in a large room, only one door standing between them and freedom.

Speaking of freedom... "Alright everybody, we've got no idea what we're dealing with here. Spread out and find something to help us out." 'America' said in a commanding voice, and everyone scattered.

It ended up being Canada who found the key that let the Avengers out, since he reached into a small crevice with his small arms. Italy was very proud.

Scott sighed with content as he leaned back in the car on the way back to the compound. He'd had a good weekend and would be a little sad to leave, but he couldn't wait to go see Cassie. And Hope, of course. Hank, not so much, if he was being honest.
