Heroes Of Marvel

C.996: After the Incident

“Whoa, a giant?” Lin Rui emerged from the bathroom, his head tilted to watch the TV news, muttering to himself in surprise.

Bucky, too, was drawn to the news report, despite its lack of substance. Both men had participated in the Antman incident and knew what the news meant.

“Do you know anything about this giant, Jackson?” Bucky asked Lin Rui when he returned from the bathroom.

“Yeah, I have an idea. If I’m right, this giant is another combat form of Antman – the giant mode. Besides shrinking to the size of an ant, the Antman suit can also make the wearer many times larger.” Lin Rui replied calmly.

“So, after we left, Scott got into another fight. And he couldn’t escape as Antman, so he transformed into a giant.” Bucky analyzed, his eyes gleaming.

“Yeah, it’s likely that Scott encountered a more challenging situation. The criteria for transforming into a giant are much more stringent than for Antman. Unless absolutely necessary, Scott wouldn’t choose to become a giant.” Lin Rui speculated.

“Can you confirm Scott’s status now?” Bucky knew Lin Rui could monitor Scott’s situation and would rescue him when needed.

“I just checked, he’s doing fine and resting in a hidden location arranged by Luis. But… he seems to have lost Darren Cross…” Lin Rui frowned, looking concerned.

After watching the news, Lin Rui utilized Scott’s communicator to check on his situation. However, the message he received left him speechless.

Lin Rui wasn’t taken aback by the armed squad that came to support Darren Cross; it would have been strange if nobody did. In fact, Lin Rui had some theories about the squad’s identities.

He could have easily resolved the situation by informing JARVIS about it, letting SHIELD take over, and swiftly putting an end to the chaos.

Nevertheless, Lin Rui believed that the Antman incident wasn’t a major issue, and Darren Cross wouldn’t cause any significant trouble.

With Bucky and him secretly assisting Scott, he should have been able to handle things without any complications. However, the attack from the armed squads resulted in Scott’s loss of Darren Cross, which left Lin Rui dumbfounded.

“Did he lose Darren Cross?!” Bucky was taken aback by Lin Rui’s words and asked in surprise.

At that time, Lin Rui had already trapped Darren Cross inside a small glass bottle. As long as Darren Cross couldn’t break it, there was no way he could escape.

However, Scott’s inability to keep him safe from the armed squads resulted in his loss, which was a shock to both of them.

“Well, he may have gotten lost during his escape. But there’s a chance that those teams haven’t found him yet. After all, the glass bottle can block many scanning technologies,” Lin Rui replied with a nod.

“What happens now? The police are searching for Darren Cross for causing a vicious gunshot wound, and with our help, Scott has defeated Darren Cross’s Antman team and seized several Antman suits. What direction do you think this incident will take?” Bucky asked, no longer dwelling on the loss of Darren Cross.

If Darren Cross was indeed lost on Scott’s escape route and never found, he would die inside the glass bottle within a few days. Lin Rui could easily locate the bottle. However, whether he would take action or not wasn’t Bucky’s concern.

“If Darren Cross dies this way, even the powerful people behind him won’t retaliate against Scott and Dr. Pym. However, I’m worried that Darren Cross may have already struck a deal with them, and they may have an Antman team in their possession,” Lin Rui replied with a serious tone.

“Even if that’s the case, we wouldn’t be able to handle the people behind Darren Cross,” Bucky said, feeling helpless.

“It’s not impossible. It’s just that I’m avoiding trouble,” Lin Rui replied flatly.

If Lin Rui’s speculations were accurate, then it wouldn’t matter. Those retired bigwigs of the older SHIELD generation, apart from acquiring some high-tech from SHIELD, had nothing worth considering to their name.

As long as Lin Rui and Steve Rogers spoke up, they wouldn’t be able to do anything significant.

“Afraid of trouble…” Bucky was left speechless by Lin Rui’s slightly disdainful response.

The more Bucky spent time with Lin Rui, the more he found himself unable to unravel the mysteries surrounding the young man before him.

Aside from being incredibly powerful, Lin Rui appeared to possess various enigmatic backgrounds. However, as long as it didn’t affect Bucky, he didn’t care what Lin Rui’s background was.

“Well, Scott and the others are safe now. The police have also intervened, so perhaps the matter is resolved this time. As for us, let’s take a look at these two sets of Antman suits first. Don’t you want to try them on?” Lin Rui looked at Bucky and asked, disregarding the situation surrounding Darren Cross and Scott for a moment.

Upon hearing Lin Rui’s suggestion, Bucky’s breathing became heavy. If Lin Rui had not put away the Antman suits last night after demonstrating their capabilities, Bucky would have tried them on. As a fighter himself, he was naturally interested in the special high-tech suits.
