Heroes Rise

this is a psa to write scott lang (for me)

I am gonna lay this down gently onto the dash, I'll give you context, but you really don't need this.

This hurts my heart and my soul. Nadia, my girl, and than there's dad Scott on full display. I am gonna write a Nadia headcanon for this specifically later, and in general, cause I need to talk more about Nadia, write more Nadia. Talk about the "father trauma" that Nadia processes.

Look at Scott, we love him.

what symphony are you ?

* Prelude: The First Movement

You are the opening of the suite, the beginnings everyone awaits, the soft hum of the violins tuning as it grows louder and louder till the lights come on. You are the excitement one feels knowing they have this world to themselves, and the love one feels knowing there cannot be an end. You are the comfort of the unknown instead of the fear, and the happiness you hold, though it may fade, will always return to you. You are the beauty most lack, and the originality everyone strives for. You are the warmth of a light that never fades.

Your song: Bach Street Prelude by Vanessa Mae

what shape does your pain take?

* Mask

You hide your pain behind a mask. Maybe you feel you can't be helped, maybe you think no one cares, maybe you don't want to hurt anyone else with it, you're afraid of being judged, or maybe there's another reason. But whatever the reason, you fake a smile and try to function normally even though you're one step away from falling apart. Secretly, you wish someone would notice it's a mask, ask you if you're really okay, see right through and make it be okay somehow. You're hurt and a little angry that no one's noticed yet, but you'll never admit it. White lies, not that bad... Are they?

Find a way to start talking to someone, even if it's a stranger or about something small. A therapist is the best kind of person to talk to because you have uninterrupted time to talk to somebody that's not in your personal life, who won't judge you, and is trained in ways to help you talk comfortably. Just be clear when you go in that you're there to talk and learn how to communicate your feelings, and you'll get what you need much more quickly. Then in personal life, I like to start by admitting I'm not great and not really getting into it. You find out pretty quickly who's the best to talk about emotions and hard stuff with. At the basic, hey how are you? question, I answer something like, meh, been better, how about you? The answer you receive is pretty telling. Something along the lines of, "Sorry to hear that, you know you can talk to me about it, right?" Is good. You can talk to the person, and especially good if they're not pushy about making you talk. If they ignore it, they might not be the best person to talk to, but you know their personality and your relationship best, read facial cues and how they talk to you after. They could also be awkward talking about emotions but care about you, or they could just not be that kind of person. If they're really pushy about you opening up and talking to them, then they do care a lot, but let them know that it may take time to break the habit of hiding things and you appreciate and trust them, but it's not going to just happen overnight. Just start with small honesty, you don't need to get deep about it if you don't want to, but just being honest with yourself and others that you're not great is a good first step to breaking down the mask and being a more authentic you.

thinking about it; and like we all love how bright and positive Nadia is but there is a flip side to that; and that's not talking about her being bipolar and the manic side and depression side.

I mean in that Nadia tends to, despite only being 15 to 23 (depending on where in canon you meet her), play the therapist for people; even if they are adults way older than her.

while that makes her a bright, positive person to be round, a good person and it all comes from genuine place of comforting, of wanting to tell someone it's not their fault, that it's okay; and so on, taking on others emotional/mental states, or trying to give them comfort and guidance, assurance and sharing some of what she has learned from therapy once she's started therapy; but even before that she would do that.

it's good about her; but that's also something that like she's a kid, even when she's "legally" an adult, at 18 to 23; she didn't have a childhood where she got to be a child, and she shouldn't keep taking that on, acting like that the therapist and support, as the fixer/healer for others.

it can be a really dangerous fact about her, especially when she's struggling worse with her bipolar disorder; as we have seen in her second unstoppable run.

just thoughts i was having about nadia. about her "maturity", about when she want to help people and fix things, and it becomes her determent to health, being the therapist friend

do they drive? if so, do they enjoy driving or do they hate it? or somewhere in between? & is there an artform they've always wanted to try (glassblowing, woodworking, painting, ect) but never have? if so, what about that artform speaks to them? @ nadia

THE TINIEST DETAILS: CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONS

FIRST QUESTION -> Nadia can now successfully drive, thanks to the ever patient Jarvis, whom had taught her how to drive; as well as was patient (mostly) when she would postpone her lessons, than her test (missed once from superhero business).

Nadia does not mind driving, but why drive when you have wasp wings and can fly? Now flying, she absolutely adores. It perfectly encapsulates her feelings of freedom.

SECOND QUESTION -> Nadia is capable or drawing, mostly learned from drawing models, floorplans, and things that she would need for doing technical drawings. Sketches for costume design, invention, gear, architecture, and buildings. Plans and floor plans. That's done out of necessity, learned. ART FOR ART SAKE, was not something done. Even knowing ballet was not for enjoyment. Now Nadia is someone whose interested in trying everything at least twice; and looking forward to finding all the things she's terrible at.

It will be said, that she definitely enjoys spatter painting, painting with her hands; something messy and any artform that doesn't require much thought, but has a degree of randomness. That's good for Nadia as well to do something like spatter painting and freeform, and it's fun and messy.

what they smell like : the top two scent would be lemon and honey, those are pretty much her go tos, than followed by florals and baked goods. nadia loves light and sweet scents. fresh laundry is also a light, airy scent too. but if you were think of nadia, than lemon and honey perfumes come to mind.

how they sleep ( sleeping position, schedule, etc ) : when nadia sleeps, gets actually good sleep which she starts to have once she's escaped to america, nadia sleeps solid and in just about any position she's curled up in. now she does have an issue with falling asleep, and when her mental health isn't taken care of, or starts to sleep she will lose sleep; this is typical a result of a manic episode of her bipolar disorder, with which she will stay up for days on end, and even when she enters into the depression half still may not sleep. part of taking care of her health, does include trying to adhere to a sleep routine of at the very least, 6 hours, and allow naps if she feels they are needed

what music they enjoy : when it comes to music it's what on the radio, whatever is the current pop culture, although she does love t-swift, pink, lady gaga, lizzo, olivia rodrigo, dua lipa, beyonce, selena gomez, rihanna, ariana, miley, the list goes on and on; again whatever pop culture female singer is on the radio, she likes. someone really does need to introduce her to acoustic and folk music, cause she'd really like the soft and lowkey vibes of music like that.

favorite thing to collect : plushies, bee themed item of any sorts, trinket, she will hold onto any trinket or knickknacks gifted to her. anything really, she didn't have this before and now she simply gets to have possessions.

left or right-handed : ambidextrous, she'll tend to default to whatever the most common is being used by others (everyone is right handed, so she's using her right too), or whatever is convenient at the time

favorite kind of weather : sunny and partly cloudy, and with a slight breeze. that's the perfect weather, not too hot or cold, warm and the breeze feels so nice when she's flying and partly cloudy so the sun isn't blinding.

weird/obscure fear they have : so with nadia, there isn't necessarily a weird or obscure fear she has, that isn't to say she is fearless; but for one, she's got things that is very much afraid that she battles with and overcomes, and than there's so much of the world he didn't have access growing up, and grown up in a place where fear would have been snuffed out; so that she operates under try everything at least twice, and her fears are very reasonably developed based on her childhood; such as freedom being stripped away, failure, loss, and etc that's her top fears

tagging: do it yourself if you want to.

The correct way that Nadia should be is freckled, not just a few over her nose, I mean cheeks and even some on her chin and over her. Back and arms too, they are fainter as freckles do fade with age, but when she first appeared in at 15/16? Freckles everywhere, not just over her nose/cheeks. They are less noticeable in Winter, as freckles are affected by the sun, and normally by middle age is when freckles are really gone/fully faint. Nadia's only on her early twenties. Nadia doesn't use foundation or makeup that will hide them (she does use makeup, normally just lip color and some eye makeup varying on days)

Additionally, her hair does have some natural wave that is coming back. In the Red Room, her head was regularly shaved and hair straighten, but over time it will return to being wavy, and she'll stop straightening it.

Nadia looks a lot like her mom, her hair is more naturally like her Mother's and her freckled are more prominent like her mother's (image edited by @pympartic to give hank greys). Her eyes however are more like her father's (yes I am following Pow's canon for Hank having brown eyes)

She'd given him So Much. So much more then she could Ever Know. Supposedly it went both ways, which was something that both filled him with a sort of dread, but also lifted his spirits more then any drink ever could. He wasn't sure he could ever convey how MUCH she'd brightened his life. Mostly because he wasn't very good at putting sentiment to word. He wasn't usually very good at Physically showing it either, but he was Nothing if not Creative! Today of all days especially, his mind was Buzzing with ideas!

It had started as a 'simple test' for his old wasp suit. It had needed some love and care, care that Nadia was all to proficient in providing the poor neglected thing. Now, he hadn't planed on the suit also getting a tailoring touch up, but apparently he'd waited far too long to touch it up to modern 'taste'. Yet today he could find no care in the world but for the focus on her face, the concentration as she modernized the wing system. The flick of her wrist behind every tool switch, and the steady hand between the bioenergy blasters. All the while they chatted and quipped, debated and theorized until at last the old suit had been sparked with new life.

However, once she had given her all clear, that is when his capacity to withhold his thoughts lost its grip on his tongue. Smiling with nothing but sheer unfiltered Pride he scooped her up into a big, heavy hug. Careful not to damage the work as the wings upon his back flittered up to attention and buzzed as if powered by the force of his joy alone.

" Oh Nadia, "

Nadia, not the name they had chosen for her so long ago but it didn't matter, it'd Never matter. She could change her name every single day and he'd adore each, and every one of them. Releasing her from his hold he set both his hands on her shoulders, seeing the light hit those hopeful eyes of hers as his heart Ignited with what he could only understand as pure parental love.

" Nadia you work so hard, not just on things like this old mans outdated suit but yourself, your work, The World! You keep finding ways to put your foot forward and stride into a world rife with pitfalls and difficulties and YET you keep pushing onward. Head in the clouds and eyes on the road you have forged a road that is Genuinely awe inspiring, it spurred me to pick up my mantle as Giant Man again and I've seen it spur so many others to action. "

His hands rose, cupping her face in their gentle hold.

" My dear Nadia, if you'll forgive this old man his sentiments, I am So. So Proud of You, and Knowing the world is in your hands- oh Nadia, I've never been so excited to see the future you help make. "

There's one thing that she knew was more belief than theory. It's one of the few things that she didn't need to test and that was having hope that things would work out. Partly that she would male them and partly the part that Nadia didn't need to break down in scientific understanding. She did not need to know how she got so lucky or delve into probability science; she could count this as a blessing, as a proof that the universe was inherently good. That thing that defied the need for like-minded bugs to understand was that she got to have a family. First a chosen family which that was her family, her first, and there was no putting value of less than the next onto anyone. Nadia wouldn't, couldn't, trade them.

Following that was the shock of Hank Pym in the flesh, no lingering Ultron, at the front door of her living residences. It took months to find the stride and rhythm between the two of them, but at the end of that? She got to know her hero who became not so much less than that, but truly became like a father not so much by blood or genetics (that didn't matter) but by work and effort into maintaining a bond, a relationship.

Helping with Hank's own and old Wasp suit had been a project she eagerly took on. Getting to work alongside him, not just sharing the lab space, but in the ideas and common goal had been delightful. More than delightful but English didn't have a better word. This how they bonded, science and their work. He really had inspired her own view on science as a whole, the way he wrote about new discoveries or theories, anything is possible and there was a wonder that not many dissertations could ever inspire.

They talked at a speed all their own and laughed together. One of the greatest, happiest sounds to share and hear. She had been intent upon keeping his single pair of wings design since that felt more him, but there's something fun they could do with the silhouette. A nod off to his favorite things a trench coat without worrying about a trench coat being a hindrance to Wasp mobility. Anything additional flapping could interfere with wing function.

Her hands move adept at what she was doing, engineering had been one of her most important skills and modernizing the gadgetry in the bioenergy gauntlets, head piece with the googles, and wings were a must. The tailoring being snazzed up also had been a necessity if only because she is nothing if not Janet Van Dyne's step daughter and supersuits could and should look cool!

When the final touches are done and it was time for them to move onto full body testing, with him in the whole suit and plans to go out somewhere, maybe to a park to enjoy the flowers up close or something, or head into New York and zip around between the skyscrapers together. Nadia stands up and it was not even a minute of standing, not a chance giving to put her foot forward that Hank pulls her into a hug. He doesn't realize it, but he pulls her up onto her tip-toes (luckily she's a ballerina). Then he even lifts them a little further just by the fluttering of his wasp wings.

OH NADIA and there's something to the tone of his voice that gives her pause. Nadia's only five foot, and she tucks her face into his chest at the unexpected hug and pulls her arounds around carefully to hug his torso back. It's a good hug, a nice hug, and it's been a good day spent with HER DAD. That is not the end of her father's affection as he sets her feet back onto the ground and large hands go onto narrow shoulders.

Nadia looks up a little confused, but smiling and about to ask "everything okay" but doesn't when he repeats her name. A whole speech follows that which she wasn't so sure what spawned such a moment or what she was ever so deserving, but than that didn't matter she reminds herself in thought half way through as he tells her that she inspires him. Tears well up in her eyes, for it was a lot of emotion, it's been a long journey to this and she genuinely had once been content and accepted this was a fantasy, and then once more had thought maybe she couldn't trust this or him (from her own lesson from quantum entanglement).

❝ I- ❞

Yet she did get this, and did get to trust him. They both made this dynamic a real one, built on work and trust. It felt real, nature, and it had little to do with being related (that was an added bonus). Nadia swallows a little, wants to go wipe her eyes because she gets to feel loved, and the inner child in her had dreamed of that every day until she came to America.

❝ Mhm! If you forgive, uhm, my tears... ❞ She sniffles, leans her head forward and goes in for another tight hug and rarely does Nadia not have words, but her happiest, her feelings and emotions were so much right now after the day that she had share working on a super suit and talking about anything with Hank. ❝ Thank you... thank you so much. ❞ It wasn't thanking him for his praise of her, but for being here and building her trust and teaching her, for working on being a better him and being her dad not just her biological father.
