(A:EHH - Avengers: Earth's Horniest Heroes)
Ant-Man paused at the doorway to the room in the Avengers Mansion which had been appropriated by the Wasp.
"Well, I guess this is goodnight. Sleep well, Jan," he said, turning to leave.
"Not so fast, mister!" quipped the Wasp. "Get in here!" Suiting actions to words, the Wasp grabbed a hold of Ant-Man's arm and pulled him into her room. The Avengers had just returned from Asgard, where they had prevented a power-mad Loki from usurping the Odin-Force and using it to destroy the Nine Realms, including Midgard, the Asgardian name for Earth. Thor had opened a mystic portal to Earth to the Avengers Mansion, and most of the Avengers had headed for their quarters to indulge in some well-deserved sleep.
Once the door had closed, the Wasp had turned to face her companion. "Hank, it was sweet of you to have stowed away on the Quinjet I took," she began, her voice pitched low and soothing. "And I appreciate the helping hand against the Abomination...but you can't just follow me around, protecting me. I'm an Avenger, Hank - you have to let me stand - or at least hover - on my own two feet."
"Jan, I'm sorry. I know that... but I feel responsible for you," Ant-Man replied. "After all, I'm the one who gave you your powers... your wings, your sting, and your ability to control your size." Ant-Man, in his civilian identity of Hank Pym, had invented the size-changing Pym Particles which allowed him to change the size of anything. He had imbued Janet Van Dyne with Pym Particles, which had let her shrink to "wasp size", and had implanted subcutaneous wings in her shoulders, allowing her to fly. He had also given her the ability to fire bio-energy bolts, her "Wasp's Sting". He had never intended for her to become a super-hero, placing herself almost constantly in harm's way.
