"We are going in undercover."

"How exactly are we supposed to do that, ma'am?" Two-Gun Kid answers Hellcat, "There's some high society types in there and I don't see us fittin' in rightly."

Eric O'Grady speaks up, "Settle down, Cowpoke. I don't need to 'fit in' to 'git in' you know what I'm saying?"

"I am not gonna warn you again, you use proper language around the lady or there's trouble." Matt Hawk and the Irredeemable Ant-Man engage in a stare-down until they are interrupted by Hellcat.

"You boys can put your pistols away, it's time to start the action." She continues with a glint in her eye, "When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping!"

In unison, Eric and Matt exclaim quizzically, "Did she say 'shopping'"

Indeed she did, Patsy Walker finds the nearest boutique and accesses her Ultra Platinum Credit Account to outfit her and Two-Gun in the finest wardrobe. Eric O'Grady, having been told to wait outside in ant size, has made his way into the women's dressing room and found a perfect perch for sightseeing.

When the trio is reunited outside, Patsy details her plan. She and the Kid crash the party using her celebrity to gain entry. He is posing as her latest 'boy toy'. Ant-Man infiltrates through the kitchen and they keep contact through miniaturized communication devices that O'Grady has um, found.

Once inside the gala function Patsy eases effortlessly through the crowd, chatting up old friends and charming new ones as the Two-Gun Kid follows along awkwardly. Inside the chandelier Ant-Man is scanning the crowd for familiar faces, the hours he spent doing video surveillance for S.H.I.E.L.D. eventually pays off and he spots the Russian agent conversing with several high level government officials.

He relays the information to his partners and jet packs off to a new location.

"This is our opening, let's go!" Patsy grabs the Two-Gun Kid by the hand and drags him over to an imposing figure surrounded by bodyguards. "Vladimir! How wonderful to see you! How is Anya, your niece?"

The Russian leader warmly responds, "Da, she is well. Our thanks for the autographed poster and the Barbie dolls."

"Not Barbie - they were Patsy dolls!" Her coquettish laughter turns all attention and no one notices the miniature form of Ant Man sliding into the Russian Agent's pocket.

Ensconced within, Eric finds the device holding the data file and shrinks it. A moment later he enlarges the dummy device he carried in to replace the original and then quickly zips out.

"It's about time we get going, ma'am." The Kid offers his arm and Patsy takes hold, "Yes, darling. Where's the next party?" Under her breath she whispers, "Stop calling me 'Ma'am'! You could blow our cover and don't you know that I'm married?"

"Sorry ma'am - uh, I mean Miss Patsy." he blushes.

The pair exit the soiree and climb in the rented limo (courtesy of Patsy Walker, Inc.). "We did it!" exclaims the former teen idol. "Ant Man, you do have the file - right?" No response. "Eric?"

"Oh yeah, I got it."

"Wait a minute, where are you? You are not looking down my dress are you?!"

"Um...no?" Eric O'Grady lies.

"That's it you pervert! You need to grow up so's I can teach you a lesson in manners!" Two-Gun Kid swats Ant Man out of Patsy's cleavage and the pint sized hero enlarges to normal height.

As the fisticuffs begin Hellcat kicks back with the stolen technology. "Boys will be boys," she murmurs as the limousine rolls down the road - occasionally jerking back and forth as the brouhaha continues.

Victory Avengers!

OK---This Challenge immediately looks to be near impossible for just about anyone of the competitors, but truth be told, The JLA has an VERY Plausible way to get this done----

Leading into the Challenge the rules are laid before the three heroes--- wreaking of Brimstone The Blue Devil opens by saying "this is going to be quite the test.....not one of us has stealth capabilities."
"No worries," Chime Major D, "We have more the enough tools to get this challenge taken care of faster than our opponents----They cant even disable the electronic alarms...and then there is the challenge of leaving undetected"
"My thoughts exactly!!" Coldcast Chirps "lets begin shall we?"
After a quick discussion it is decided that the first phase of the plan should be to create a storm of sorts to cause a little bit of discomfort and worry among the attendants---- Major D lets loose with a mid range attack on the atmosphere. Storms clouds roll in and the party goers quickly become uneasy with the amount of rain and lightning that has seemed to surface out of nowhere---A silent EMP from Coldcast and the party becomes a bit concerned--- Not only would the electricity go out, the security would too.... as the crowds begin to file out of the venue Major disaster and the JLA identify their target and start to put phase two into affect--- disaster causes the target to trip up with his powers as Coldcast disturbs the electromagnetic field around the other patrons--- detouring the masses away from the intended target---- once they have their mark alone Disaster starts the ground a shaking and Blue Devil emerges from one of the cracks--- This throws the target into a state of disbelief and at that moment Coldcast causes the equilibrium of the target to go off kilter causing a temporary blackout. the trio proceeds to burn a copy of said device in the venues control room and replace the device once completed---When the target is finally able to recall what happened he attributes it all to a hallucination and temporary moment of disorientation---- not even concerned about the breach he continues on. When the dust settles nobody is the wiser and the JLA are long gone with their prize------

Unfortunately for the Avengers there is no way to get in and out without being detected----

Victory JLA

and to debunk my opponents rational, Eric is INCAPABLE of shrinking another object

Eric has the ability to shrink to the size of an ant and grow back to normal size by pressing a button located on the Ant-Man armor's helmet which releases Pym Particles onto the wearer. He is also capable of communicating to ants and, while he is ant-sized, Eric is capable of punching a human being with the same amount of force as a normal-sized person. The Ant-Man armor has three buttons on the helmet that can do various things to the armor. Mode one keeps the uniform intact which can be useful in the case of repairs being needed to the armor or if Eric needs to do something full-size as Ant-Man. Mode two peels the uniform off Eric as he grows to normal size, reducing the size of the uniform and storing it inside the helmet. It remains to be seen what the function of mode three is. Ant-Man is also capable of releasing tentacles that are located at the back of his armor. These tentacles can be used for crawling or flying. It is unclear whether these tentacles are released automatically or manually or both.

Not so sure about that. This is from Marvel Wiki:



Is it possible that Mode 3 is the capability to shrink/enlarge other objects?

Eric O'Grady doesnt have the same capabilities---- he can shrink himself--- thats it

AN UNDERPOWERED GROUP OF AVENGERS WINS THE DAY AND GAINS THE NEEDED INFO. FOR THEIR SIDE.
