American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

But whatever Ghost Ava wants to do with the lab, she'll need Hank Pym's help.

As for Scott Lang?

It can only be said that this unfortunate kid was dragged into this mess by Hank Pym.

As can be clearly seen from the previous video, Ghost Ava's target was not Scott Lang at all.

“This is really a headache.” Scott Lang looked slightly annoyed. “After the last quiz, I asked Hank about ghosts, but he had never heard of them.”

"Regarding this," Captain America spoke up, his face serious, "I've found out something. Come to think of it, she's a pitiful person."

"Really? You found out who the ghost is?" Scott Lang asked, somewhat surprised.

The ghost was completely covered by a white uniform, even its face was completely obscured. In addition, the name Ava didn't even have a surname, and no one knew if it was its real name.

In other words, no one knew what this person looked like or even their name, only their nickname. Under these circumstances, how was Captain America able to find out who this person was?

That's pretty impressive, I have to say.

"Captain, who exactly is this ghost?" Peter Parker couldn't help but ask with great curiosity.

"She is actually... an agent of our S.H.I.E.L.D." After a moment's thought, Captain America gave this answer.

"A S.H.I.E.L.D. agent? Wow, that really surprises me." Strange, lying in his hospital bed, was quite astonished.

The others at the scene were also caught off guard.

"Ghost, whose real name is Ava Stell, is the daughter of Elysius Starr, a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Elysius was once Hank Pym's colleague and worked in the same laboratory as Hank Pym, researching quantum physics."

"However, later, Elysius was kicked out of the lab by Hankpym. Resentful, Elysius secretly studied quantum physics on his own, but eventually, an accident occurred."

“The explosion at Elijah’s lab killed him and his wife instantly, but some of the energy from the explosion altered Ava’s body, putting her into this… ‘quantum transformation’ state.”

"Quantum transformation?" Thor was completely bewildered and looked utterly confused.

The others had no idea what it meant either.

"Quantum phase transition is a state in which an object can change between different states of matter," Tony Stark answered without hesitation.

"Please, am I the only one who has done the homework? After going through so many rounds of questions, am I the only one who has tried to understand quantum physics?"

Tony Stark then naturally questioned everyone around him.

Everyone could only shrug and offer a dry laugh.

It's not that they don't want to understand or do their homework; it's just that this thing has a very high barrier to entry, and not everyone can understand it clearly.

There's only one Tony Stark!

"And then?" Scott Lang eagerly pressed Captain America for an answer.

"Later, Ava fell into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., who began to study her and train her to be a ghost agent, a ruthless killer."

Captain America spoke to everyone present in a somber voice.

He paused, then added, "No, to be precise, it should be Hydra, but now, Ava is under our control, and she no longer needs to kill."

After Captain America's explanation, everyone present shared the same feeling: this ghost truly did have a pitiful side.

"So that's why her body became like that—because of quantum physics. Is that why Ava wanted to take over the lab?"

Strange guessed.

"That must be it. Quantum transformations look cool, but for humans they are torture. Each transformation is like tearing your body apart."

"She must be trying to heal herself!"

Tony Stark said with great certainty.

After Tony Stark said that, everyone present felt even more sympathy for Ava the Ghost.

"Alright everyone, we'll discuss Ava's matter after we finish the quiz. Let's answer the questions first."

Captain America's voice rang out as he glanced at everyone and gave them a reminder.

Everyone gathered their thoughts and turned their attention to the large screen in front of them.

"Can we rule out option A now?"

Scott Lang immediately made a judgment: "Ava has fought with Hope and me before, as shown in the previous video. She knows we can shrink, so she must be on guard."

"Yes."

Peter Parker nodded emphatically in agreement, "In the previous video, Hope had never seen the ghost before when she appeared, which shows that it was the first time the ghost and Hope met."

"So the thing mentioned in the question, that the ghost captured so many people, must have happened after the previous video."

"So...that's right, the ghost must have taken some precautions."

Option A was eliminated without any doubt.

Next up is option B.

“I think option B is also unlikely,” Strange, lying in his hospital bed, made his assessment first.

"If I remember correctly, Scott in the title is someone who committed a crime and was detained at home, right? And because of that, Hank Pym and his daughter also became fugitives."

"He seemed to be carrying a burden of guilt when he helped Hope fight the ghost."

Chapter 304 Thor: From Now On, Not Just a Hammer God, But a True God

"So what's your point, Mr. Strange?"

Peter Parker didn't immediately grasp Strange's meaning, so he couldn't help but press for an answer.

“What I mean is, Scott might not have such capable companions.”

Strange began to explain to Peter Parker, “Let’s look at Scott’s resume. Before he became Ant-Man, he went to jail for standing up for others, right?”

"Before going to prison, Scott was just an ordinary office worker."

"After he was released from prison, he stole from Hank Pym's house again because of family reasons, which led him to become Ant-Man."

"But shortly after becoming Ant-Man, he was imprisoned at home because of the civil war at the German airport."

"All I can say is that, under these circumstances, the chances of Scott knowing any influential people are probably not very high."

"Wow!" Peter Parker thought about it and realized it was true. "Mr. Scott has been arrested three times? I think it's probably not easy for someone like him to make friends."

"Come on, Strange, Peter, who doesn't have a past they're ashamed to talk about? Do you have to expose my secrets in front of so many people?"

Scott Lang called out to Strange and the other man, somewhat speechless.

“Scott,” Captain America’s voice rang out, staring intently at Scott Lang as he asked, “So, do you have any friends who can help you? I mean, the kind of friends who can deal with ghosts.”

“Although I have some friends, …” Scott Lang shrugged, “I don’t have any friends who can deal with ghosts.”

Being able to deal with ghosts is undoubtedly not something an ordinary person can do; it requires enhanced abilities.

Or someone at the same level.

They either have cool equipment or extraordinary personal abilities.

And Scott Lang's friend?

It was just Louis, whom he met in prison, and the few guys Louis introduced him to later.

How could a bunch of idiots possibly save Scott Lang from the Ghost?

Just because it's not there now doesn't mean it won't be there in the future.

Thor chimed in casually, "Who knows, Scott might meet one or two impressive people in the future? We all know that Scott helped Captain America during the Civil War."

"But even so, Scott wasn't familiar with Captain America and the other Avengers. When he went to discuss the idea of ​​time travel with Captain America, he even had to introduce himself."

"It's clear that they haven't been in contact since the German airport civil war."

Tony Stark added.

“I know, I know, I was just giving an example,” Thor explained again. “What I mean is, Scott might still have the chance to meet some important people in the future, right?”

“That’s right! Mr. Thor is right!” Peter Parker nodded emphatically. “We certainly cannot rule out that possibility!”

"So... option B is pending for now?" Scott Lang asked, glancing at everyone.

"We can't rule out that possibility, so let's leave it at that," Captain America declared definitively.

No one else expressed any objection for the time being, so the analysis of option B was temporarily completed. Then, everyone began to discuss option C.

“I think we can rule out this option,” Captain America said first. “The Ghost didn’t take the lab for money; it’s more likely he had no other choice. That’s not something we can easily convince him of.”

"Agreed," Strange immediately agreed. "The effectiveness of verbal sparring is a low-probability event; reality isn't a movie!"

Everyone has seen similar movies where some villains, while doing something bad, are captivated by the protagonist's charisma and, after a few words, change their minds and reform.

But that's just a movie.

Would this happen in reality?

It's not absolutely impossible, but the possibility is ultimately not very high.

We're all adults, and the decisions we make are all well-thought-out. How could we give up just because someone talks a lot?

“That’s right, we discussed it before.” Tony Stark agreed. “Ava’s attempt to seize the lab and capture Hank Pym was likely to heal her body, which is indeed unlikely to be convinced.”

After discussion, option C, which was largely uncontroversial, was eliminated.

"What about option D? Hank Pym uses a scheme to turn the tide with ants?" Scott Lang nodded repeatedly when he saw this option. "I can only say that it's possible. That old man Hank is no pushover."

"The situation described in this option is logical, but we have no relevant clues, so we can neither rule it out nor confirm it, so... it remains to be determined."

Captain America offered his perspective.

“Wait a minute.” Peter Parker realized something was wrong. “Turning the tide with ants? Don’t you guys have any questions? Ants, how can you turn the tide?”

“Heh heh, kid.” Scott Lang chuckled smugly, showing off to Peter Parker with a smug look on his face. “The ants in Hank Pym’s hands aren’t ordinary ants. He once saved my life with ants!”

Scott Lang was referring to his attempt to steal the Wasp suit from Klaus Technology, where he was nearly shot by Klaus, but Hank Pym controlled the ants and made Klaus drop his gun.

"Ants saved your life? That's insane!" Peter Parker couldn't believe his ears. Ants could save lives?

This is absolutely insane.

“Sorry, I just remembered. It’s just that this is so unusual. There was a video last time of some giant ants helping Hank Pym with his work… Those ‘big ants’ shouldn’t be easy to deal with, right?”
