"Oh crap, oh crap, oh--!"
As Ant-Man continued to flee, attempting to evade Twisted Fate's explosive cards as best as he could. However, he didn't stop until Ada's warning shot in the form of her crossbow arrow landed in the ground just a few inches in front of him, prompting the man to stop and instinctively look behind him just to see what was behind. Underneath his helmet, the man could only worriedly purse his lips as Alice prepared her lasers and others around aimed their guns at him.
"Oh... Coooome ooon! Times like these I wish I could at least be... Iron Ant! Or something!" He exclaimed to himself, before taking a gambit and turning around completely. With that, in perhaps an unexpected maneuver, he began running towards his opponents again, and just as the likes of Miku, Lucifer, and Linda pulled their triggers at him, he leapt into the air and pressed the button on his suit, and with that...
His body practically disappeared, or rather, as Naomi's Luminol revealed, merely shrunk to minuscule size, dodging every bullet that would have come his way.
However, he didn't stay shrunk for very long, quickly changing back to normal size as Ali seemed to take a different approach and sheath his weapon, any sense of hostility from him seeming to disappear. With that, the Ant-Man ceased to move, looking cautiously at Ali, but remained his distance, just in case he or the others would attempt to continue their assault.
"Okay, did we like... Is there a 180 I missed here? We were just doing the opposite of helping each other, and... Listen, the civilian thing really bothers me. I'm confused, are you guys holding the civilians hostage, or are you like... The hostages themselves?"
...
Ant-Man snapped his fingers.
"C-Ceasefire, please! Everyone. Ceasefire? Uh... Pop quiz. Before we go on, uh, do you guys even know who we are? And who you're working for? You don't really want to fight, do you? Y'know, this puts me in a bad spot. Bad enough that I had to hit a woman, but... Ah, hell, I guess I am beneath hitting a woman..."
I let out a breath of relief when Ant-Man called for a ceasefire and my head didn't explode.
"Stop attacking!" I yelled loud enough for everyone in our fight to hear and hoping the sounds of battle would drown it out before reached the Umbrella goon.
"As to answer your hostage question, it's more like 'fight for us or die!' kind of situation," I explained and despite my swords being sheathed, one hand was gripping a pistol attached to my side, ready to pull it out if either he or the Umbrella grunts attacked."All we know is that they're a corporation called Umbrella and they can shut down our bodies and if need be, kill us on the spot so we're being forced to fight. Hell they even killed one of us already!" I pointed to the charred corpse of Travis."However, if you can get the device that can shut us down, we'll gladly turn our weapons against Umbrella. I can attempt to assist, but if I go down, I'll likely be killed so try to not to let that happen ok?"

Naomi ceased firing, however she placed the barrel of her gun against Ant-Man's head as a safety precaution and began answering his questions in sequence.
"We have no clue who you are, besides what we've been told, which is nearly nothing. All we know is that you're enemies of Umbrella.
"We work for Umbrella, a corporation with a lot of money, a lot of power, a lot of intelligence and a lot of technology, as well as the ability to travel to different worlds.
"I would say that we all don't want to fight, but for a few among us that isn't exactly true.
"And although I don't want to kill you, 'this woman' isn't exactly pleased to be punched in the face. So, although it's not my first choice, pulling this trigger does seem to be in my best interest.
"You're certainly not making it any harder for me to do so," she added as she drew her free hand to her nose, which was still dripping with blood. She would be lucky if it wasn't broken.
"HEY!" I shouted and waved my hands."I know he punched you, but we did try to kill him and we do need his help. Unlike us, when the Umbrella shit head presses the button, he won't faceplant into the ground! So cool it."

"Every second I spend without pulling this trigger is one second closer to the Umbrella techs pulling theirs and Kruger pulling his, blowing us to kingdom come. At least if I'm a threat to him, I'm seen as useful to Umbrella."
With her free hand, she pulls out the radio used to communicate with Kruger. "Commander, I could use a reminder. What's the situation on possibly taking live hostages?"
Miku stared, a mildly disgruntled noise escaping her throat. Her attempts to help from afar did not seem to be working out as planned. She didn't want to kill; but her attempts to use her bullets as a distraction didn't seem to be working out, either.
Forcing herself back to reality, Miku looked down her scope-- only to notice a lack of... action. Eyes widening in surprise, she did a double take. Ali had sheathed his weapons, and Ant-Man wasn't retaliating against Naomi. Despite the continuing sounds of battle from the other side of the battlefield, she felt a tinge of hope rise from her chest. Looking down the scope again, and keeping her cross hairs on Ant-Man, she silently hoped for some sort of resolution coming from this. She really hoped she didn't have to fire another bullet.
Twisted Fate weaved a card through his fingers, causing it to radiate energy. Soon after, a number of cards appeared in a circular formation in front of Ant Man. From these cards, T.F arose.
"You're comin' with us. Put your hands behind your head."
He took out a glowing gold card and positioned it in front of his face. Well, that looks odd. That's not how somebody threatens to throw a card. It turns out, T.F was holding it this way so his opponent could read what it said. On the back of the card, Ant Man would see engravings that read,
"I'm pretending to take you prisoner."
He would discreetly show the card to Ali and Naomi. To everyone nearby, he winked in an attempt to tell them of his plan. Perhaps the Umbrella slaves could pretend to take the S.H.I.E.L.D members as prisoners, and then unite against Umbrella when the time was ripe.
