--Downtown--

T'Challa continued to send the video recordings of what the Mandarin said. She managed to get it but they were too busy for him to explain it to her. They opened the sewer hatch and proceeded to run towards Stark Tower.

"Do you know how Stark Tower looks like?" T'Challa asked, as he walked slower so Strange could catch up.

"I got it." Strange said, as he made a portal for them o jump through. The portal led to the top of the building where there was a bomb placed at the top. "This must be it."

They continued to un towards the bomb until a sniper started shooting. They both ran to cover from the bullets and hid behind the AC's. Strange created a portal while T'Challa got onto the bomb.

"I got your back. Just do what you are doing. And don't freeze." Strange chuckled, as he looked around.

"Are you done yet?" T'Challa asked, with a annoyed tone. He opened the fuze box and saw different colors of wires and buttons and all sorts of different puzzles. "Now this is going to get interesting."

--Avengers Headquarters--

Hope rushed to the emergency room where Peter, Scott and Wanda were staying. Pietro volunteered to stay behind so he could take care of his sister while Sam went out to find Strange and T'Challa.

"I have some news." Hope announced, as she entered the emergency room.

"It better be some good news." Pietro said quietly, as he was sitting beside a sleeping Wanda.

"Slattery is targeting us. I think he has a whole army going against us so you better prepare yourself. T'Challa and Strange are going to defuse a bomb back in Stark Tower." Hope said, as Scott suddenly sat up and screamed.

"Cassie!" Scott shouted, as he breathed heavily.

Hope went towards him to comfort him while Scott looked straight into the ground, not even blinking. Hope placed whatever she was holding down onto the desk and started patting Scott's shoulder.

"It's alright, Cassie is safe. She's at home, with Maggie. They're probably having their lunch." Hope whispered as he started to calm down.

Pietro couldn't help but chuckle a bit when he saw Scott's initial reaction. He suddenly sat up and shouted his daughter's name like he just heard a explosion from far away. Wanda and Prter were still sleeping so he prepared himself for the battle that was about to come.

"Can you still walk?" Hope asked, as she brought Scott down from the bed so he could walk.

"I think." Scott muttered as he tried to stand up, "All I could remember was our house being burnt down and Cassie was still inside."

"That is a lie, Scott. What you've seen was a lie. It's the Mandarin's tricks. He tried to turn your back on us." Hope said, as the TV turned on again.

"You speak of me once again, Hope Van Dyme. Yes, I know you are out there in your little facility, resting the Avengers so that they could fight me again. Well, T'Challa and Strange agreed with me that they will take the bomb instead of you. I'll take that promise very seriously, expect to see my guards at right about, now." The Mandarin said, as helicopters covered the sky above the Avengers Headquarters.

Hope and Scott ran quickly to the armory and wore their suits. They both met Pietro in the hallway who was wearing his new and improved suit.

"So who's wearing who?" Pietro asked, as he approached them.

"Scott has red; I have yellow." Hope said, as she turned into an ant.

"Get Wanda and Peter out, find a better location than that." Scott said as he followed Hope and became an ant.

"So your just going to leave me, and become ants. Thanks." Pietro then sped up and grabbed Wanda and Peter. He brought them somewhere away from the Avengers Headquarters.

Scott and Hope went outside the HQ and faced all of the soldiers. They started shooting down every floor and every room. They were lucky because they evacuated all of the staff the day the Mandarin released the attack. They were basically wasting their bullets at floors with nothing in them.

Suddenly groups of soldiers landed as Scott and Hope ran towards them. They both kicked some soldier ass as the men couldn't find their attacker. They ended up shooting either themselves or their allies. A swarm of ants with wings appeared and Scott used them to his advantage since Hope is the only one who has wings.

They quickly took out all of the soldiers as Pietro appeared from the woods. He was looking at them that he was caught off-guard when a helicopter started shooting at him.

"Pietr-" Hope paused, as Pietro appeared beside her in a blink of a eye. Pietro looked at her confused.

"You didn't see that coming?" Pietro said, as he dealt with all of the soldiers that just landed. "Let's play."

All Hope and Scott could do was watch as Pietro dismantled all of the troops of Slattery in a quick fashion. Once he was finished, all of the helicopters flew away besides one that landed. The Mandarin exited out of it in a classy rob.

"My students! I love the work you have done to this... failures. You were all very excellent." The Mandarin said, clapping his hands. "I must say, your leadership Hope is tremendous."

"Shut up and tell us what do you want?" Hope got straight to the point.

"Have you not heard my news reporting? I want the most valuable stone in the universe, the Infinity Stone." The Mandarin said, circling the heroes as they stood there in fear. "I see that you don't want to give me the stone. Very well."

The Mandarin then summoned a ring of fire which surrounded all of them. He smirked at them before he could laugh.

"Show me what you have learned." The Mandarin said, as he stroked his ten rings.

Pietro was the first one to strike, as he tried to speed up towards the Mandarin but he was immediately stopped when ice appeared on his feet. The Mandarin smiled. Scott and Hope punched him at the same time but he felt nothing. He was barely moving or feeling any pain. Suddenly rays of lightning struck their suits and they returned to original size. The Mandarin stood tall both of them and leaned in towards Scott.

"And I thought the warm-up was good enough." The Mandarin said, as he shook his head in disappointment. "Fools."
