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?"

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.
