Introduction

"Time, it is a delicate thing. Time changes everything, how we live, what we do, when we do it, and how we do it. It is a strong element, something people of my time practically worship. Some say you can take advantage of the time you have at your leisure, when in reality, it is taking advantage of you. Only one thing can subside the power of time, and this is love. It blooms at an unpredictable time, opening into something that stops time itself when two beings experience it. Just as time does, love changes everything amongst our lives. Although everyone experiences it in different ways, they all experience it at some point, whether they realize it or not. I myself have two loves, each I realize to be, of different classification. My love for time is shared by a greater love, for my darling Ravona. She is the sun to my Earth and the most precious thing in my life. I know that it sounds overly poetic, but it is the strictest truth one could tell of, my princess is the only thing that keeps me going. Therefore, being trapped in this time is of no concern, as long as you promise me that she is being properly tended to. Even you vulgar barbarians should understand my reasoning…." Kang muttered to Hank as he rose from the bed inside his cell.

"I understand far more than you could ever know…." Hank scratched his head, looking at the floor before continuing his statement. "And I'll have you know that out time's top minds, including myself are working diligently on a way to save and revive Ravona. She is in good hands Kang, I promise." He lifted his right hand and looked at Kang with pure sympathy and understanding.

He knew what this man was going through, constantly worrying about someone he.. he loved. Ever since Hank left the team he had debated whether or not to follow the team, specifically Jan, as he had done on the Asgard mission. He could never forgive himself if she were to obtain any sort of injury. He thought that by leaving the team, he'd be doing Jan, the other Avengers, and himself a favor. But it had only made things worse. He spent all of his time either in his lab, studying Ravona, or patroling 42. It had seemed as though he'd only slept four hours this entire week. Jan wasn't around enough any more to prevent that from happening, or to help ease the stress of his current situation. She had her missions, and he had his… projects…

Reviving himself from his deep thought, he stepped away from Kang's cell, "I promise she'll be alright Kang, goodnight." He flashed a small smild and made his way to the portal.

"Goodnight Dr. Pym, I'm holding you to that." Kang said with a nod, as the good Doctor stepped into a burst of light.

Janet Van Dyne was alone in her room, lying comfortably on the bed. She looked out the window, the stars seemed to dance under a brightly lit full moon. She smiled as she saw a constellation she could make out as the Aries. Hank had told her this when they were camping out on a scientific exploration back in Cresskill. She could remember the night perfectly, the two had just got back from a walk with there group when Hank laid out a blanket for them. He patted the ground next to him, and she confidentaly took a seat close to him. The pair lied down, staring straight up at the star splattered sky, as Hank pointed out several constellations and stars. They simply lied there until both were asleep and cuddled close together under the stars.

The memory made her smile. This night was so much like that one, but sadly, Hank was no where near her tonight. She was alone, chilled by the frosted night air flowing through her open window. Tony always discouraged leaving it open for "security" purposes, but she couldn't help it, the sights and scents of the city always felt closer this way. She'd often sneak outside of the building, shrunken down to wasp size of course, just to admire her surroundings. It wasn't the small town she'd lived in before, but it had a unique beauty of its own.

Sighing, Jan perked her body upward to where she could see the photo of hank and her at the beach. He looked so nervous that it was adorable, and even if she looked confident, being that close to Hank for the first time scared her slightly too. She had been in love before, but nothing like this, this was something more.

She emerged from her current position and made her way to a dresser to change into her night gown. After quickly changing, she dragged her feet into the bathroom. She was in the middle of brushing her teeth, when she looked into the mirror. Even though she had just gotten out of the shower, she had to say, she looked awful. Could it be that Hank's absence had put that much on her? Sure, being an Avenger meant the world to her, but so did he, that is why she was falling into this slump, she needed him. She resumed brushing her teeth, still dazed by deep thought. Finishing up quickly, she hurriedly turned on the faucet. Cool water rushed rapidly into the sink, she splashed some onto her face, allowing it to sink into her pores. She had hoped this would wash away her pain, but it seemed as though nothing could. She had finally realized, she couldn't flirt her way out of this. Hank wasn't there to hear her flirtausious comments to her teammates, the jealousy game wouldn't bring his attention back onto her. He was far too distant to reach now.

She felt warm tears building in her eyes, but just as she was about to begin sulking, a knock sounded at her bedroom door. She fought back the salty tears and combed out her hair in a rush.

"Who is it?" she called from across the room.

"Jan, it is Tony, can I come in, I was hoping that we could talk."

"It is unlocked, not that you couldn't get in anyway," she said smirking at the infamous playboy in front of her.

He smiled back, "are you alright, you seemed… off today."

She knew exactly what he was talking about, they were capturing some wanna-be villain today, when she got distracted by her thoughts, the man managed to escape around her. Of course, Thor got him anyways, but it didn't matter, she should've been rady for him.

"Me? Oh yeah, I'm perfectly fine, everything is a- ok…" She laughed nervously.

"Are you sure, you sure seemed distracted by… well, nothing." He looked at her, as though he could see right through her, usually only Cap, Carol, or Hank could do that, but today, she was transparent.

"Oh yeah… I was just thinking about something, that is all," she said this nervously, and she knew it. She waited for him to bring… it up.

"Could It have to do with a certain former team member?" There it was, she dreaded discussing the subject with others, as she had made clear with Carol several times before. Even when Steve brought it up she was edgy about it.

"So what if it does?"

Tony sighed, "Jan, listen, you do know that he was only here because of you right. He has other priorities, and he wants to better the world in an entirely different way than us. Sadly, it is hard to have someone change their necessities in life… Especially with Hank." He laughed slightly, and she joined him.

"Well yeah, but I thought for sure he'd be back. I miss him Tony." She looked at the ground, away from the sympathetic look she was getting from Tony, she hated receiving pity.

"We all do Jan, and maybe he will be back, but for now, we need you on top of your game. So try to focus, please, I know it is hard, but if it helps at all… I can maybe talk to Hank."

"Thank you Tony, thank you, thank you, thank you!" she planted a kiss on his cheek, causing him to blush a harsh hot pink color.

"No problem, I'm Iron Man after all…. and I'm available if things don't work out, just fyi," he smiled hopefully.

"I'll keep that on my mind," she said grinning from ear to ear. "Night Tony."

"Goodnight Jan," he said closing the door abruptly behind him.

She crawled into bed, and turned off the light. Reaching towards the nightstand, she grabbed the picture kissed it. She dragged it in close to her heart, where she cradled it tightly in her arms as she slowly drifted off to sleep.

Across the city, Hank Pym collapsed into his bed, finally receiving some rest. He looked at the picture of Jan and him at the beach and smiled at it,

"Goodnight Jan, I love you…" he said, yawning as he fell into a deep slumber.
