Lang continued to support her husband Scott Lang when he was fired from Vistacorp for discovering they were illegally overcharging customers for their transactions. However, she tried to dissuade him from taking actions against them, knowing her husband was capable of manipulating the company's computers and steal from them in return.

Lang reminded Scott his promise, and asked him to simply move on and find a new job and, especially, not do anything stupid. Scott did not heed his wife's advice, and ended being arrested for infiltrating both Vistacorp Headquarters and his former boss Geoff Zorick's mansion and stealing millions of dollars from the company, even though he returned it to its legitimate owners.
