202. Pym Particle

The crew landed on the moon's surface successfully. Then they proceeded to set up the small habitat. It was nothing but a huge ready-made module carried by Spacecraft. The lady with superstrength simply picked it up and put it in a nice spot.

Then they got to find an ideal location. They had pretty high tech stuff made by Stark Industries so it didn't take them much time to find a good place to start the colony. They had found a crater nearby which had a high possibility of there being ice.

The one who could live in a vacuum went in there and checked the samples. The end result was satisfactory. There was indeed ice under the layer of the surface dust and rocks.

Hence the initial habitat was brought near to the now named 'Hope' crater. The habitat wasn't anything luxurious. It had simple divided areas for sleeping, working, and exercising.

The team did many tests while living there. They collected samples of Helium 3 and four of them returned to Earth with it.

The same spacecraft easily landed back on Earth without much trouble. The whole project was surprisingly very smooth. It only lasted for 2 weeks.

...

"Tony, how's the stability?" Alexander asked with a wrench in his hand and a big control wheel in his hand.

"Yeah, it's quite stable. The output is at 100 percent too. I think we are successful." Tony lauded.

"These are just the baby steps. Fusion reactor will surely change the world but it will not take us that far." He said, wiping out some sweat.

He, Howard, and Tony had just finished their first-ever large-scale Fusion Reactor powered by Helium 3.

"Now we just need to find an efficient way to travel, and mine the moon," Howard added.

A sudden light bulb lit in Alexander's mind. "Howard, do you remember Hank Pym?"

Howard quickly realized, "Yeah, but he won't give us the formula. He's too egoistic and would rather take the formula to his death."

"I don't need the formula. It only took a few minutes for Thanos' people to replicate it. I only need his yes. I don't want him to jump around filing technology theft cases against me later. I'll go and try to talk with him. Pretty sure he can't say no to the President." Alexander thought.

"You can try all you want. I just hope you don't underestimate his ego." Howard warned.

"Wait, what are you two talking about?" Tony asked.

Howard quickly told him about the Pym particle.

"So you're telling me that by using this tech we will be able to transport whole space stations and colony ready-made on earth to space and moon. I say, f*ck him. Let's just use it. We're using it for humanity after all." Tony said. It wasn't surprising that Tony would say that. He was still not mature enough.

"Still, he got a pretty good head. If he can join us we might be able to advance quicker." Alexander said and got ready to leave.

"Alright, I have a press briefing in an hour. Be sure to redirect the power to the city grid now." He instructed and left.

The new mega fusion reactor was enough to power the whole of New York State. From this evaluation, they only need 50 reactors to keep the U.S. always online.

...

Alexander appeared in the press briefing room to answer some public questions and also talk about his progress on some things.

"Thank you for coming here. First of all, I want to tell you that I successfully caught 478 companies of fortune 500 companies doing Tax evasions. I have heavily fined them and also given them a one-week ultimatum to pay back. This was 2 days ago and by now the Tax department has received 600 Billion Dollars in taxes. I am also creating a new software for the IRS. It will heavily help them monitor all the taxpayers.

"Now to the second announcement, my defense secretary has identified 300 different terrorist organizations operating in some African and Arabian countries. They will all be dealt with in the coming months. Shield, the US army, and many more superheroes will be joining this operation. Our objective is to bring stability to the whole region.

"Finally, about the Moon Mission. We are preparing to build a colony there. I have come across a very famous scientist and if he joins our work time and expenditure will decrease by half.

Another briefing will be done in a week in which we will give you updates. Thank you. Now my V.P. will give answers to your questions as I have to be in a meeting."

Alexander had hinted towards his meeting with Hank because it would put some psychological pressure on him that he should accept his offer.

He got into his helicopter from the White House lawn and headed to Pym estate. It was quite a large place. Hank Pym was surely not running low on funds in this timeline.

Alexander wondered if Scott had already been selected by him as the next Ant-Man. He was hoping that what he thought was right as he wasn't really interested in this story.

His helicopter landed and he walked towards the people waiting for him. Not much surprised, Hank had come to greet him. Behind him was his daughter standing informal clothing. But there was another person standing beside Pym who looked more excited to see him. The man was Dareen Cross, the protégé of Hank Pym who usurped his mentor as CEO of Pym Technologies and rebranded it as Cross Technologies.

Alexander ignored the man and went straight to Hank. "Haha, how are you, old man."

Hank shook hands with him. Alexander didn't really have much contact with Hank but he had still met him during the world war. He hadn't made Pym particles at that time.

"I am fine, Mr. President. We were surprised to receive a call for your sudden visit." Hank said, hiding some disdain behind the sarcastic voice.

"Well, I had come across a problem and thought you might be a good candidate for solving it. After all, you are a fellow visionary so I thought you might be interested in helping humanity." Alexander said. Making it impossible for Pym to ignore him as he knew that if he did then he'd be labeled a traitor by the people.

Hope saw the tension and spoke. "Let's talk inside, Mr. President."

Alexander looked at her and smiled, "Haha... Let's go, child. I heard you are very good at quantum physics. What about joining our space program?"

They all walked into the mansion. Suddenly Alexander noticed a painting in the lobby. He smiled seeing it as it was the one Amy drew for her first auction.

Hank saw him admiring the painting and came to boast, "That is one of my finest investments yet. I bought it many years ago and it still gives me a feeling of peace."

Alexander just smiled, "I know. I was there when you bought it. After all, it was my granddaughter who painted this."

His words surprised Hank and hope, "Your granddaughter?"

"Oh, my little Amy. The same girl with whom my statue is erected in the war museum. She was just 10 when she drew this." Alexander replied and remembered those cute moments.

Hank remembered the famous picture and statue with a girl on Alexander's shoulder. "Then this painting is priceless."

Alexander appreciated that hank thought so highly it. "Yeah, it is. Let's go and talk now."

After that, he negotiated with him for the right to use Pym particles. But he wasn't bulging. He kept on saying that he doesn't trust the government. Alexander got fed up and decided to leave. There was no point in talking with him, the man had gone senile. Even when his daughter tried to convince him he denied.

Alexander secretly ordered Shield to take Dareen Cross in custody and seal the Cross technologies as he knew that Cross was trying to sell ant-man like suits to private organizations. That was also one of the reasons why Hank and Cross were looking at each other in disdain even in his presence.

"Thank you for finding time for me but sadly this meeting wasn't fruitful. I'll probably just make some new particle that acts like Pym Particle." Alexander commented and left.

But when Alexander was leaving he felt like a small thing was following him.
