The Avengers (Marvel;Re)/Issue 1 (GazzaB9)

The first issue of Ant-Man's Avengers in Marvel;Re and the first part of "The Assembly Era" arc.

Synopsis
After many questionable acts he has committed, Hank Pym, AKA Ant-Man, tries to prove that he is still a hero to both his peers and the world as a whole.

Plot (unfinished)
Hank Pym lies in bed staring at the ceiling. Several memories flash through his mind one after the other. The first thing he remembers is his first fight against Ultron. The next memory he has is him in the Yellowjacket costume surrounded by several supervillains locked up in cages. The final thing he remembers is his ex-wife, Janet, crying behind a pair of sunglasses. Back with the actual Hank, he continues lying in bed in a very small, rundown apartment. A high-tech phone beside him rings and he picks it up. Hank looks around the room sad at first but slowly grows determined. Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Wasp, and Bruce Banner are seen gathered around a table waiting for Hank. Janet is looking at her watch. Tony shows some live footage from outside, revealing Hank can't enter Avengers Mansion due to the fact he is surrounded by people booing him and holding signs protesting against him. Tony turns the sound on. Outside, Hank continues to try and calm down the crowd. Janet suddenly grows beside Hank. Hank and Janet walk through the crowd, Hank raising his hands in the air as he does. Eventually, they make it inside Avengers Mansion and Cap tosses Hank his helmet.
 * Memory Hank: Ultron! why are you doing this?! You're meant to help humanity, not--
 * Memory Ultron: Humanity is the earth's biggest flaw. You built me to eradicate all war and hatred across the world, father. And humanity is the root cause of all of it...
 * Memory Hank: Welcome to the Ant Farm, folks! a prison where supervillains can rot away the rest of their pathetic lives!
 * Memory Janet: Hank... please... You're better than this, so... so just stop!
 * Hank: Hello...?
 * Tony: It's Tony. Are you coming or what? everybody's waiting for you.
 * Hank: No they're not but thanks for lying...
 * Tony: Hank, you were the one who had this idea, you can't just bail out now.
 * Hank: Maybe this was a bad idea.
 * Tony: Hank, I'll be honest. There is nothing I can say to you that'll convince you to come down here other than I know that you know deep down that this is what you need. Now get your ass down here!
 * Janet: Three... two... one... and he is officially late...
 * Bruce: I'm honestly not that surprised.
 * Steve: Yeah, Hank's a good soldier but he's not exactly--
 * Tony: He's here.
 * Thor: What?
 * Tony: He's here and it looks like he's been here for a while.
 * Janet: What do you mean?
 * Bruce: Why did nobody help him?
 * Tony: Hank is practically a pariah now.
 * Janet: Does it have sound?
 * Hank: Listen, I get why you're mad at me and why you don't believe me but I do, in fact, have a meeting inside that building.
 * Protestor A: Oh sure, you expect us to believe someone like you would be invited back into the Avengers after all the things you've done?!
 * Hank: What do you want me to do? do you want me to pull out my phone and play the message of Tony telling me to come to the mansion?
 * Protestor B: You probably have a fake message ready! I wouldn't put it above you!
 * Hank: Oh my god...
 * Protestor C: Down with Pym!
 * Bruce: We should probably send someone out to help him.
 * Steve: Good idea. Janet, go get him.
 * Janet: What? why me?!
 * Steve: It'd be a lot harder for them to get angry at you if you showed up to help him.
 * Janet: How so?!
 * Steve: Cause you're one of the reasons they're protesting.
 * Tony: And most of us would likely be called suck-ups if we come out.
 * Janet: ...Fine, but you all owe me one!
 * Hank: No, I am not Yellowjacket! Yes, I regret my creation of Ultron! And yes, I regret everything I've done! Unlike other people in my position, I'm actually trying to make up for what I've done and you people aren't letting me! Just let me into the goddamn mansion!
 * Janet: Calm down, everyone! Let Hank through, he's doing his best!
 * Protestor C: Fine... but we're only doing this for you, Ms. van Dyne. Not for him...
 * Steve: There you go, soldier. You best not make us regret our decision to let you back in.
 * Hank: Oh come on, even you guys are saying stuff like that?
 * Bruce: To be fair, Hank, you're... sort of... um...
 * Hank: Untrustworthy, I know, I agree...
 * Thor: I mean people can redeem, can't they?
