John was surprised to see all this as he didn't expect his name to be famous instead of Dr. Helen Cho or Tony as they were the main person behind it.
"Propaganda really changes people's mindset."
In the last two months many people had gone to Mars and were amazed by the new scenery on an entirely new planet. Umbrella even did a lottery to send middle class people to Mars on a lower price as a sign of good will to the people and showing that only the rich weren't able to go to Mars. A normal person of the society could go too.
The people were happy for such a step of Umbrella. They have already rolled out new models of cars, planes and ships bringing down the cost of transportation and now Umbrella has come with med pods and even space travel. Umbrella had basically changed people's way of life now and the changes were very positive. Even though there would be initial problems, that was acceptable as they would have a brighter future ahead.
Umbrella even said that those who had been affected by the changes brought by the company would offer jobs to them and even take them away to Mars when the colonisation process would start in a few months. Even though Umbrella wouldn't be able to include everyone it was a good measure nonetheless.
As this went on, John received a call from Felicity saying that Pym Technology had sent him an invitation to attend the new suit that their company had built. Darren Cross wanted to show the new suit called yellow jacket. John understood that the arc of Ant-man had started.
This time John would directly stop the whole plot in the beginning itself and he needed to talk with Hank Pym, the founding member of Avengers in Earth - 616. He was an important part of Marvel stories and so he needed to talk face to face with him.
John directly accessed the memories of the members of the league who had infiltrated the company and understood Darren wanted to sell the jacket in the black market as the government actually didn't fund his research as the yellow jacket was highly unstable. The government had tested the product of yellow jacket before and they found it affects the minds of people when they use the suit and thus shut down the whole process.
Darren still insisted and since he didn't find investors of the suit he called for big companies who didn't hesitate to do anything to reach their goals. Since John represented Umbrella he was called too.
John was surprised by the invitation but accepted it. He called out ninjas who weren't affiliated to any village and tasked them to replace the members of the meeting by themselves. He saw the list of the members in the meeting and all of them had a bad history according to GAIA.
"He just walked right into the trap." John said as he summoned the ninjas and sent them to work. The convention was in a week so the ninjas had enough time to get to know their target and replace them.
On the day, John took Bumblebee to the company's headquarters, the place where the meeting would start. While entering the company he saw the person for whom he really came.
Hank Pym.
He approached him and said "Dr. Pym, it's nice to see you in person."
"Hello Mr. Jameson. It's surprising that you know of me." Pym replied. He was still being fidgety as he looked around. It was because he had sent Scott on a mission to retrieve the suit and sabotage the whole meeting of acquiring new investors.
"Of course I know of you. Let's go inside shall we." John said.
John went inside and saw all the other members and they were all his summons. John smirked at it. The story progressed like it should have in the original version as Darren was showcasing the yellow jacket, and Scott appeared with the Ant-Man suit.
John nodded at the members of the surrounding and before anybody could realise what was going on Darren was hit right on the face by a member. Another member directly appeared behind him and cuffed his hands.
"Now we can talk freely. Scott you can destroy the suit or do whatever you want and come out." John said.
"What is happening? You want to take away the technology?" Hank asked defensively as he still didn't understand what was going on but it was clear that the members who came to the meeting were under John.
"Pym particles are amazing and I might have a use for them in future. But for now I will settle with you Dr. Pym." John said as the ninjas took away Darren who was unconscious by now. He would be sent to Naruto's world and imprison him there forever without seeing the actual world ever again. John didn't want another person in the quantum realm.

"What do you want from me?" Hank asked. Hope too who was nearby came near dad as she thought John had ill motives. Scott who finally got out of the small showcase enlarged himself to the normal size.
"I don't want anything from you. But do you want the information that I have? But first let's sit down. I am not your enemy." John replied.
"Then why did you take down Darren?" Hope asked.
"Let's not kid ourselves. You three had already planned to take down Darren for a long time. I just made the whole process easier." John said. They were surprised that John knew they three were involved.
"Scott, you can show yourself. You can call your friends too to join." John said.
"How do you know about us?" Scott asked.
"I know a lot. I am not here to speak about your past. I am here to speak about your future." John said.
"Future? What do you mean?" Hank asked.
"Your wife is alive and is waiting for you to find her, Dr. Pym." John said.
"What? What did you say?" Hope and Hank almost shouted when they said that.
"You heard me right. Your mother got herself in the quantum realm on a mission. Like your dad who was the previous ant-man, she was the wasp. You can ask your dad more about it. But yes Dr. Pym, your wife is alive and is waiting for you."
"How do you know this?" Dr. Pym asked.
"It doesn't matter how I know this. All that matters is that you should start searching. Take over Pym technology. If you want, Umbrella will help you with finance and everything. The current condition of Pym Technologies doesn't look good. Umbrella will take care of it. Just bring your wife back." John said.
"Supposing I believe you, why do you want to help us?" Hank asked.
"Because we might need your help in the future." John said solemnly.
"Don't be so defensive. Do you really think I care about the Pym Particles? I don't. You can take away Scott and others and nobody would ever like both of you. I just want to be a good Samaritan for once." John continued.
"It has been years since my wife has been in the quantum realm. How will she be alive?" Hank asked as he had doubts.
"Because time flows differently in the quantum realm. I think you have already doubted that." John replied. Hope who had doubts now about her mother asked more from his father and Hank thus confessed everything and him not wanting her to take the mantle of wasp. John was listening to the whole story with a smile as he already knew this.
"I have heard there will be a protest soon against your Umbrella Corporation saying that your company has made an AI and it would be a threat to humanity." Scott said. Umbrella was liked by most people but like always there are two sides of a coin. Some people don't want to see Umbrella grow more powerful and thus this had started. In fact many people in politics had already started adding fuel to the protest which was going to happen.
"When people don't understand something, they will resist. When the solar cars came out, they accepted it as they understood it. But now suddenly there is an AI and the movie industry hasn't done justice to AI. Well of course there is a bad AI which is roaming but there are good ones too." John said.
"Bad AI? What do you mean?" Hank, who listened to the conversation, asked.
"Oh there is one bad AI on the loose. Courtesy of Hydra." John replied.
"Hydra? How will you kill this AI?" Hope asked.
"We have taken some measures. Once the rat is out of the mole, we will catch it and kill it. Don't worry about it, everything is in place." John replied.
"I hope so. Seems like I need to secure my research more. If an AI gets its hands on it, we will be in big trouble." Hank said "Do you want any help?"
"I thought you hated Stark. Don't worry, you focus on your wife." John said
"You know my hatred for Stark too? What more do you know?" Hank now asked with curiosity.
"I know you are arrogant Dr. Pym but asking help from someone isn't a crime. You should go visit your previous colleague from the Goliath Project. Maybe one person can help in your search for your wife." John said.
"I can do it myself." Hank insisted while Hope thought of it differently. If her mom is alive and somewhere else they need all the help they could get. Since John had said about his father's former colleague, she can go and try to convince this new person.
"You are really a good Samaritan? I have always believed that there are good people out there." Scott said.
"Maybe... Umbrella will send a job offer to you Scott. Now you can spend more time with your daughter." John said.
