chapter 169 part 2
"Perhaps, I should find a time to tell Helmut about this situation."
After tidying up things in his laboratory, Banner did not linger there. He hadn't forgotten the explosion at Hydra.
Although he wasn't sure of the cause of the explosion, it was clear that staying in the Hydra Tower was not a good choice.
Emerging from his specialized Super-Soldier Serum laboratory, Banner's hurried footsteps involuntarily slowed down slightly as he passed by other laboratories.
"Just one look, just one!"
After hesitating, his curiosity finally overcame his urge to leave. He adjusted his glasses, silently encouraging himself.
As he spoke, Banner cautiously entered the laboratory.
The next second, the scene inside instantly drained all color from his face.
Inside this laboratory, a large number of experiment chambers were placed side by side, with human subjects lying motionless inside as experimental subjects.
And among these experiments, Banner even saw the subjects of his own Serum research.
"I clearly refused Helmut's proposal for human trials, why?!"
The scene before his eyes filled Banner's heart with disbelief, shock, and a series of unacceptable emotions.
"The situation at Hydra is not as simple as you think."
Subconsciously, Dr. Hank Pym's earlier reminder flashed in Banner's mind from their previous meeting.
Before, he hadn't understood why Dr. Hank Pym would say that.
Now he realized that perhaps Dr. Hank Pym already knew what was happening inside Hydra, which was why he had advised him to leave.
"Leave, yes, leave!"
Thinking this, Banner quickly reined in his complex emotions, wanting to exit the laboratory.
Regardless of whether he would no longer participate in Hydra's subsequent Serum experiments or expose Hydra's human experimentation practices, the main thing was to leave first.
However, the moment Banner turned around, a familiar figure at the laboratory door made his expression freeze instantly.
"He...Helmut."
Helmut sighed, looking at Banner in the laboratory, and said expressionlessly.
"I regret this, Doctor Banner. Your research on the Serum is very fruitful, why would you do such a thing?"
Facing Helmut's interrogation, Banner opened his mouth, about to say something.
Suddenly, a crackling sound of electricity from behind him plunged his consciousness into darkness.
"Don't kill him, he's still useful."
In his last moments of consciousness, Banner only heard Helmut instructing someone.
...
"Explosion, run!"
Compared to the panicking people around him, Hank Pym's reaction was undoubtedly much calmer.
As a researcher who had experienced World War II, explosions were almost commonplace for Hank.
His gaze swept over the chaotic crowd, and Hank was gathering the items on his desk, intending to leave.
'Doctor'
Suddenly, on the desk in front of him, words formed by ants made him stop.
"Scott?"
Hank was no stranger to these ants.
After all, he was the one who gave Scott his original Ant-Man Supersuit. Without his tacit approval, how else would Scott have learned to use the Supersuit?
As for the Brainwave Device that controlled the ants, it also came from Hank's later work, and an upgraded version of this device was used on Ultron.
"What are you doing here?"
Scanning the chaotic crowd, ensuring no one noticed the scene on his desk, Hank used a book to shield the ants on the desk while quietly asking.
"We're here to save you, Doctor."
As Hank Pym's words fell, Scott's voice immediately echoed in his ear.
"Save me?"
Turning his head to look at Scott's miniature figure on his shoulder, Hank's face showed no trace of joy or excitement.
"I don't need you to save me."
He was working for Hydra for an unavoidable reason, and until that reason was resolved, Hank would not easily leave Hydra.
"Wasp."
However, the moment Hank refused, Scott's voice sounded again.
"What did you say?!"
This time, Hank's reaction was much more agitated than before.
"Calm down, Doctor."
On his shoulder, Scott gripped Hank's collar to keep himself from falling, shouting.
Hearing Scott's reminder, Hank took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
"Where did you hear that name?"
Hank had always kept silent about the Wasp's existence, a persistent pain in his heart.
There had been two generations of Wasp; the first was Hank Pym's wife.
The Wasp Scott referred to was, in fact, the second generation, his daughter Hope van Dyne, who inherited her mother's legacy to become the current Wasp.
Dr. Hank Pym had opposed his daughter becoming Wasp from the very beginning, but she had ignored his objections and stubbornly put on the current Supersuit, becoming the new generation of Wasp, until...
"Actually, the Dark Avengers told me."
Scott did not conceal Howard and the others' identities. Their purpose for this trip was to rescue Dr. Hank Pym from Hydra: "They have found information about the Wasp. Hydra deceived you; they did have contact with the Wasp, but in fact, they ultimately did not capture her. On the contrary, the Wasp escaped Hydra's pursuit, only to disappear later."
This was all the Wasp data Natasha had found within the Thunderbolts, sealed as top-secret.
"Hope is missing?"
The intelligence Scott provided was completely different from what Hank had previously known.
He had once believed his daughter was in Hydra's hands, which was why he had to endure and conduct research for Hydra, all to protect his daughter's safety.
And in fact, Hydra had also provided some parts of the Wasp Supersuit, making him believe this.
