Scott sat on a beach chair, surrounded by a sandy beach. He had a book in one hand, and a drink in another. He clinked that drink against the one of the person next to him. It was a typical day at the beach for most people, except for a few minor details: the "person" was Ant-onio Ramos, Scott was in the Ant-Man suit while wearing swim trunks and sunglasses over it, and the "beach" was a sheet of cardboard covered in sand, next to a bowl full of water.

"Scotty?"

"Yeah, Luis?"

"What the hell are you doing?"

Scott lowered his sunglasses. "The ants and I have been working our asses off for Hank. I think we deserve a break." Scott said.

"Yeah, but why do you need to make your own tiny beach? We're just a few miles away from a real one." Luis said, holding back laughter as he watched Scott.

"If I go to a real one, the ants will get lost or smushed." Scott replied.

"If you say so." Luis said, walking away. Scott sighed peacefully, drifting off into sleep, his ants cuddling up beside him.

While Scott was fast asleep, Luis came back to see him, this time accompanied by Kurt, Dave, Hank, Hope, Cassie, Maggie, and Paxton. All eight of them could barely contain their laughter when they saw him.

"Oh my god. This is adorable." Paxton said.

"It sure is." Maggie said, eyes wide with disbelief.

"Why do you look so surprised, Mommy?" Cassie asked.

"How am I supposed to react when a vague acquaintance of mine shows up and says 'Hey, your ex-husband sort of has superpowers and is being a dork with them.'? Because that is, word for word, what Luis told me and Paxton. And Paxton doesn't even seem surprised!" Maggie said.

"I knew." Paxton said.

"You're the last person here to find out, Maggie." Dave said. Maggie blinked in surprise.

"Well then. Don't expect me to tell any of you if I get superpowers." Maggie said.

"That's fair." Kurt said.

"Mister Pym, can you shrink us all down so we can play on the beach with my daddy and the ants?" Cassie asked.

"I'm afraid not." Hank said.

"No fair..." Cassie sighed.

"We can go to a normal beach, though." Maggie said.

"Yay!" Cassie cheered.

"We should all go!" Luis said.

"Except Scott. He seems pretty happy napping with his ants." Paxton said. Scott seemed to wake up at the sound of his name.

"...What?" He mumbled, before looking up to see everyone staring down at him.

"Enjoying your nap?" Hope asked teasingly.

"Oh, come on, Luis! This is humiliating!" Scott said.

"You brought this upon yourself, Scotty. We're all going to a real beach, anyways. You want to come?" Luis said.

"No thank you. Me, Ant-ony Stark, Ant-onio Ramos, and Gr-ant Gustin will be enjoying our own personal beach together, thank you very much." Scott said, crossing his arms.

"Suit yourself." Paxton said, as everyone but Hope left to head to the beach. Scott watched them go.

"You really do look cute, Scott." Hope said, patting his head with the tip of her pinky finger.

"Thanks." Scott said, blushing beneath his helmet.

"You're missing out, though. Knowing Luis, someone is going to get buried in sand." Hope said.

"Yeah, well, I can do that with the ants. They're natural burrowers." Scott said.

"Yeah. Have fun, Scott." Hope giggled.

When Hope came back from the beach a few hours later to check on him, she indeed found him being buried by the ants.

"This is so cool, Hope! They caught on to what I wanted to do without me controlling them!" Scott said. Just then, Hope realized what kind of ants Scott was partying with: Sokovian Pygmy Diggers. An invasive and predatory species.

"Scott, those ants are trying to bury you alive and suffocate you so they can eat you!" She said, scooping him out of the sand.

Scott only had one reply. "That is badass."

Hope sighed with amusement. How could she not love him?
