Scott felt dizzy from the blows he took to his face, but he forced himself to focus on the task at hand. Lives depended on making this work, including his own.
Whether he was in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time, that remained to be seen.
He walked into the wrong room for a business meeting representing X-Con Security and instead, ironically enough, found himself face to face with six masked, gunned security breaches fully intent on causing some kind of trouble. He was subdued before he could do anything to stop them though.
Now he was locked in a sealed room in the basement that not even the Ant-Man could sneak out of, after receiving quite a beating for messing up the bad guys’ plans. His only hope was a very old, forgotten telephone line he was trying to electronically tap into to contact anyone on the outside who could help him and the innocents in the floors above him.
“C’mooooooon,” he pleaded quietly as he fumbled with the wires yet again, his words slurring a bit. “Work with me heeeeere. S’mbody answeeer.”
It had been a standard scouting mission, he simply needed a new location for a puzzle, nothing too dangerous.
And then the phone started ringing.
Odd.
"Yes?"
Scott frowned in confusion. The connection wasn’t super strong plus he’s having a hard time focusing. Concussion maybe? He couldn’t tell if this was a voice he recognized, nevertheless, he responded with urgency.
“Uhh, this is Ant-Man, and I’m looking for an Avenger or a superhero or a good guy in general. Someone who can help because there are innocent people in danger!”
"Ah, Mr. Lang." The Game Master cooed, rather pleased at who he was speaking too. "How's life treating you?"
Scott’s frown turned to an angry one, and he was considering hanging up and trying again. But it took a while just to get this guy.
“Hey, were you not listening?! There’s a life and death emergency going on upstairs, and I’m looking for someone who can actually help!”
"I hear well, Mr. Lang," He remained unfazed by Scotts fervent words. "Which floor are you on?"
Scott took a breath or two before answering, “I’m locked in some vault in the basement, but the rest are up on the 1st and 2nd floors.”
"Hang up, call the emergency phone on your floor, just hit # and hold 4 down. I'm one my way." He calmly instructed before hanging up without letting the hero on the other end say anything. Adjusting his trench coats collar to further conceal his identity, he made his way to the stairs
