As soon as Scott pressed the trigger, the botanical gardens below him flew into chaos. Bursts of electricity seemingly sprouted from the electrical EMP coils attached to the backs of the crazy ants covering the glass dome, sending a very brightly coloured surge of electrical energy inside the gardens. For a brief second, the sound of an alarm could be heard over the sound of static, only for it to be struck short by the force of the EMP. Through the glass, Scott could make out the sight of the metallic insects inside dropping from the air deactivated, followed by a very feminine shriek. Obviously somebody was not very happy to find her killer robots shut down. 

Following suit with the Bandit’s falling bugs from inside, Ant-Man steered his carpenter ant down towards the ground, moving quickly. All around him, his ants followed suit, making their way down the botanical garden’s glass walls. They converged on a window a couple of metres off the ground on the east side of the building. The mass of red insects encircled it, painting a clear target for Scott, as he shot forward on his mount. They passed through the open window with ease, with Ant-Man instantly finding himself surrounded by plant life. That was no issue for the astonishing Ant-Man though, as the miniature hero managed to steer his way through the leaves in no time at all. 

As the edge of the treeline came into side, Ant-Man leaped forward, springing off of his ride. Midway through the air, he shifted in size, resulting in him emerging with a flash from the darkness and into the open centre of the gardens. The place certainly wasn’t pretty. 

Dirt and mud covered the floor, alongside the occasional pool of filthy looking water. However as expected, they were also joined by the metallic remains of the robotic insects. There must have been hundreds of them laying there .The centrepiece of the room, which had long ago been a very ugly looking stone fountain was no little more than a small pile of rubble. To Scott’s left was the generators he had spotted previously. Despite being top of the line, the things were currently motionless and silent, having fallen victim to the EMP. They weren’t the only things to be affected by it though. A line of computers were sat on the other side of the room, mirroring the setup located in the original Bug-Eyed Bandit’s warehouse. It would seem that the EMP had also broken the sprinkler system too, with water erupting ferociously from pipes on the railings above. And to top it off, someone was now unfortunately shooting at Ant-Man with a gun. 

Luckily the Bug-Eyed Bandit’s aim was all that sharp, meaning that Scott had time to dive behind cover; with the fountain finally finding some use after all these years. 

“[color=92278f]You think I’m powerless without my hive, Ant-Man?[/color]” She cried manically, firing two more shots in his general direction. 

“[color=crimson]Yes I do![/color]” Scott cut in cockily before she could continue.

The comment seemed to stop her in her tracks for a few seconds. Deciding to test his luck, Scott peered over the fountain’s rubble in an effort to get a look at the full situation. Unfortunately he was simply met with gunfire once more. 

“[color=92278f]Shut your mouth Bug Boy![/color]”

"[color=crimson]That's Spider-Man's nickname actually.[/color]”

“[color=92278f]I said shut it![/color]” She cried once more. Instead of the sound of a gunshot rupturing the air however, all Scott could hear was a click.

He smirked. Looked like she was out of ammo. Springing to his feet, he vaulted the rubble and charged towards the purple clad woman, as she scrambled to reload the weapon. Just as she fired once more however, Ant-Man was leaping into the air and shrinking once more. His tiny body found itself landing on the barrel of the pistol, and with one more leap, he found himself leaping up towards the Bugged-Eyed Bandit’s bright green goggles, his fist flying forward as he did so. 

“[color=crimson]Bug-Eyed Bandit? More like Black-eyed Bandit![/color]” Scott exclaimed loudly, regaining his original size and posing somewhat heroically above the now unconscious woman. That was until he realized what he said, and began to shift uncomfortably between his feet. “[color=crimson]Yeah, that’s probably…Forget I said that. I’d… I’d never hit a woman.[/color]”
