Peter's eyes shimmered with a faint glow as he waved his hand, projecting a glowing golden barrier around Ava. The magical barrier encased her entire body, bathing her in a soft, ethereal light. It was a sight to behold, a fusion of science and magic, as Peter initiated the scans to understand the nature of Ava's affliction.

Tony, Hank, Hope, and Genie watched in fascination as the golden barrier began its work. They had never seen anything quite like it, and Peter's proficiency in both technology and mysticism left them in awe.

As the scans progressed, Tony couldn't help but break the silence, his curiosity getting the better of him. "So, what's the diagnosis? What's wrong with our ghostly attacker here?"

Peter continued to concentrate on the scans, his eyes locked onto the glowing barrier surrounding Ava. "Well, from what I can see, her body has been bathed in an unholy amount of Quantum Energy. It's soaked into her very being, from her physical form to her astral self." He spoke with a tone of concern, fully aware of the gravity of Ava's condition.

Tony furrowed his brow. "Quantum Energy? So she has some type of dimensional radiation poisoning?."

Peter nodded somberly. "In a way, yes. Humans aren't built to hold these kinds of dimensional energies within their bodies. To do that, you'd need to be either a master of the mystic arts or a meta-human. Ava, unfortunately, is neither."

Hank and Hope exchanged worried glances. They had suspected as much, but hearing it from someone as knowledgeable as Peter made it all the more daunting.

Ava, who had been listening to the conversation with rapt attention, finally spoke up with a tremor in her voice. "So, what does that mean for me? Can you do anything about it?"

Peter waved off her concerns. "Don't worry, Ava. I can help. Since you don't want to keep your powers, it makes things even simpler actually."

With a graceful wave of his hands, Peter began to conjure a complex spell circle in the air. The circle pulsed with intricate lines and symbols, each one more perplexing than the last. Ava's eyes widened as she watched the mystic display unfold before her and swiftly cover her entire body.

Tony watched as Ava began to glow in an odd light, a mix of concern and interest written all over his face. "Is she supposed to be glowing like that?"

Peter chuckled softly, his focus never wavering from the spell. "Yeah, that's just the Quantum energy being expelled from her body. It can be a bit... dramatic."

Ava gasped as the light surrounding her intensified, creating a breathtaking display of otherworldly luminescence. It was as though the very essence of her being was being purged of the Quantum torment it had endured for so long.

The room fell into a hushed reverence as they watched the transformation unfold. Ava's body trembled with the release of energy, and she let out a shuddering breath. It was a difficult and painful process, but there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the brilliant glow began to subside. The spell circle dissipated into shimmering motes of golden light, fading away like stardust. Ava stood before them, her breathing heavy, her body drenched in sweat.

Peter stepped forward, his eyes filled with genuine concern. "Ava, are you alright?"

Ava nodded, her voice a mixture of relief and exhaustion. "I... I think so. It's just... I've never felt anything like that before."

Hank and Hope approached her cautiously, concern etched on their faces. They had been witnesses to a truly extraordinary event, one that defied their understanding of science and magic.

Tony couldn't resist a touch of sarcasm as he quipped, "Well, that was one heck of a light show. But are you back to normal now?"

Ava gave a weak smile, her gratitude shining through. "I hope so. I haven't felt this... human in a long time."

Hope stepped closer, her expression empathetic. "We'll monitor your condition, Ava. If you need anything, just let us know."

Ava nodded in a daze. "Thank you…"

Hope smiled, happy that everything turned out okay. "No problem."

Ava, now free from her torment and subsequent death sentence, rushed up to Peter and dived into his chest. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice quivering with emotion. "I can't believe I'm finally free from that pain."

Peter awkwardly returned the hug. "You're welcome…" He pat her back gently. "You said you used to work for Shield, right?"

Ava nodded as she released him, tears of relief still in her eyes. "Yeah, they promised to help me if I worked for them, but they never did. Why?"

"Because, I'll have Fury whip you up a nice retirement package to help with the start of your new life." Peter explained, which only made Ava cry even more than before.

"Thank you!" She exclaimed as she dived into Peter's arms for a second time.

After sending Ava home for the night, Peter finally took a step back, his eyes scanning the room. His work here was done, and he was tempted to retreat to his cozy couch once again.

Tony cleared his throat and asked a question that Peter was hoping to avoid. "Now that that's settled, how would you like to give us a hand with this Quantum portal?"

Hank Pym, who had been silently sitting in the background, finally spoke up. "As you already know, we've been trying to safely access the quantum realm. But we've hit a dead end. The portal keeps destabilizing, and we can't seem to figure out why."

Peter's initial instinct was to decline, his cozy couch and Netflix calling out to him. But then he turned to look at Genie, who was wearing that unnerving expression that resembled a giant puppy dog, begging with teary eyes. 'Lily's puppy dog eyes are way cuter… When he does it it's just disgusting…'

Although he didn't want to, Peter decided to do what Genie asked. After all, he hasn't seen the Djinn in a while. "Alright, I'll help with your little Quantum Realm rescue mission. But Genie gets to tag along as well. He's visiting so I can't just leave him."

Tony's face lit up with satisfaction, knowing that he had convinced Peter to join their expedition. "Great! With your help, this trip should be a breeze. We're going to crack the Quantum Realm wide open!" He said before turning to Genie. "He's the Kree guy that helped us on Sakaar, right? He can come…"

Genie nodded with a knowing smirk on his face. "Yup, that me! Just your average Kree male, visiting my good friend-"

Seeing that Genie was hamming it up a bit too much, Peter had to cut in, slapping him upside the head in the process. "Don't mind him, he has brain damage. He hasn't been the same ever since…"

"Right…" Tony muttered suspiciously.

"Anyway, let's take a look at this portal…" Peter quickly changes the subject.

A few days later…

The lab was a hive of activity as Peter joined Tony, Hank, and Hope to work on the portal to the quantum realm. Tony had brought along an array of his own specialized equipment, which everyone was thankful for. After all, Tony always had the best toys.

Hank wasn't exactly happy to have so many cooks in his kitchen, but he begrudgingly adjusted to a crowded lab. As for his daughter, Hope was more than happy to have the help. She just wanted her mother back and would do anything to make that happen.

Meanwhile, Tony seemed to be enjoying his time with Hank, annoying the old man at every possible moment. Peter tried to keep the peace between them at first, but swiftly gave up on that far fetched dream.

Genie, on the other hand, just sat back and enjoyed the show. He wasn't exactly a scientist, so he was delegated to the back of the room, where he couldn't mess anything up.

As they worked together, the room hummed with a palpable sense of progress as the portal's energy signature began to shift with every test, inching closer and closer to stability.

Hope's voice crackled with excitement as she observed the data. "We're almost there, just a little more!"

Soon enough, the final adjustments were made, and Peter, Tony, Hank, and Hope shared a moment of anticipation. The quantum portal, once a chaotic swirl of energy, now stood still, radiating an eerie, otherworldly glow.

Tony couldn't contain his excitement. "We did it! The portal's stable."

Hank's skepticism had transformed into grudging admiration. "I... can't believe it."

Hope's face lit up with a brilliant smile. "We've achieved the impossible..."

Peter shrugged. After all, a portal to another dimension wasn't exactly a new thing for him. Though the Quantum realm is a bit different than other dimensions… "So, what now?"

With everything in place, Hank stepped forward to take the lead. "Now, we run some tests, prepare, and find a way to bring Janet back… If she's still alive."

Quantum Realm, Axia…

Deep within the shimmering city of Axia, in a chamber concealed from prying eyes, Janet Van Dyne lay in peaceful slumber. Though under her pillow, a shimmering pistol could be seen, hidden and ready in case of emergencies.

[Insert Picture of Janet here]

By her side rested her lover, their limbs intertwined under the thin white sheets. He was an older human-looking man with grey hair, and a fellow member of the resistance.
