Delicate Time

When Janet Van Dyne's birthday comes along, she realizes that only one gift could satisfy her desires. She has waited quite a while for this gift to come along, and she doesn't know how much longer she can wait. But this gift doesn't come in a package nor envelope, for this gift, is love. Yet, she wonders how will she be able to acquire this gift when the one she loves, won't cooperate. And whenever a group of powerful enemies get in the way, things go even more wrong than imaginable!

Jan slowly arose from a night of much deserved, peaceful sleep. It was a pleasant Saturday morning, and the sun greeted her through the curtains of her bedroom. Now fully awake, Jan realized that today was her special day, her birthday. Today she'd finally have the chance to be around her close friends and a certain someone, in celebration of another year of her life! The birds outside of the mansion seemed to chirp in full awareness of the joy lingering inside her. In deep thought of what the day might bring, Jan began to get ready. Starting her day as usual, she crawled into the shower and let the steam soothe her.

'Today calls for change,' she thought, as she picked out a unique black and yellow halter top and jean skirt. "Perfect! Now all I need is to, ahha!" she stated as she grabbed a new necklace from her dresser. While doing so she looked at the picture on the dresser of her and Hank at a party. They both looked so happy, they were happy. She could recall every detail of that night perfectly, for it was imbedded in her mind ever since it happened. The way he spoke to her, that tender voice he had was so calming and music to her ears. Not to mention how close they were, they never left each others' side that night. I mean, it was probably the only time she had ever seen Hank dance!

"Ms. Van Dyne, you are needed in the foyer," a voice sounded, snapping her out of her daze.

"Thank You Jarvis, tell the others I will be there shortly," she said hurryingly adding the finishing touches to "today's new look."

She quickly slipped on her jet black heels and rushed downstairs where the others were supposed to be waiting.

To her surprise, the room was empty and darkened. She slowly went over to the curtains to let the sunshine make its way into the room, when all of the sudden…

"Surprise! Happy Birthday Jan!" and a surprise it was indeed, Jan smiled and looked toward each one of her teamates with a huge grin plastered on her face.

"Awe, thanks you guys, this is too much though, I mean decorations, gifts, hats, what are we five?" she chuckled a bit as she heard Hulk mumble something about him saying the same thing.

"Now, we know that this may seem like a lot, but it is all in good reason," Tony said glaring at the Hulk a bit.

"Tis' a fine day for a celebration as well, what say you Captain?"

"Well Thor, I agree with you and Tony, but I think that we should cut the chatter and let Jan here open some of her gifts." Cap smiled as he gave Jan a small wrapped package with a pink bow. She opened it slowly revealing a poem and a small silver bracelet with an engraving that said, 'Forever an Avenger.'

"Steve, it is precious, you are too kind, thank you!"

"My pleasure Jan," Cap said as she hugged him.

Each Avenger gave her their gift and she thanked each one with much gratitude, even Hulk's gift was simply perfect! Tony had given her a diamond necklace, which was more than over the top according to Hank.

"Alright, now please bring in the cake Clint, I think now is a good time to dig in," Hank stated.

" Who made you the boss?" Clint said in a matter of fact tone, "Besides, where is your gift for her lover boy?" Clint and Tony laughed a little and Hank shot a glare at them to shut them up.

"Well, I was hoping that Jan could meet me in the lab after cake to get it." Jan's heart skipped a beat as she heard him say it, she joyously smiled as she nodded yes.

"Well, this is interesting," Clint said while smiling at Jan, who simply elbowed him in the hip causing him to laugh.

The Avengers finished up their cake and conversations soon after they started. Seizing the opportunity, Hank called Jan over and told her to come with him, she couldn't help but smile as she walked loyaly by his side.

"So," he said while lifting up a small box, "I saw this at the store and couldn't resist not buying it."

Jan, hurriedly opened the box to reveal a pair of crystal earings. They had small Wasps made of some gemstones surrounded by crystals. She smiled and lept up to hug Hank.

"They are absolutely perfect Hank, thank you so much!" She said squeezing him tight before letting go.

Oh, and Jan there is one more thing I wanted to ask you," he said with a pleasant tone.

"And what would that be," she said eagerly awaiting an answer.

"Could you reschedule my appointment with Richards, I am in the middle of a breakthrough in my research that is very important to tend to."

Jan sighed and agreed to take care of it before leaving the room. 'Well that killed a moment,' she thought. She started to dial the number of the Baxter Building whenever something occurred to her. She grinned widely as she made a few phone calls. 'This time, things will go better,' she thought, 'much better…'

Well, that is the end of the first chapter of my first Fan Fiction! I know that it was kind of childish and lacked substance, but I had to introduce it this way so the story would make more sense. I'd just like to remind you all that I am not exactly into comic books, I just love this T.V. show and Wasp, so if anything seems out of character let me know, I am willing to research! I love the Ant-man and Wasp relationship and was surprised to find that there was only one F.F. on them, so here is my own!

Ok, so It isn't good, but I can promise you, it gets much better as it goes on. Especially since Jan now has a goal that I can tell you, she will not let up on. How will Hank take this? After all, he is awfully caught up in his work… Find out in the next chapter!

Well, be honest and tell me what you think! I take suggestions and will respect, respond, and take into account any review. (Yes, it was short, but this was an irritating chapter in all honesty!) Please to point out grammatical errors and areas where it lacks substance, I will change it! *But, I will say it once again, it will get better in time!*
