Nadia Displaced Into the MCU (Specifically: FATWS)
okay so the idea goes that Nadia doesn't realise that she's been transported to another dimension. Which means that something outside her microlab must have happened.
So, I pose the idea that this was a G.I.R.L. accident and all six of them are here now. All having their own crisis.
This is all simply so that I can have this reunion:
Priya: This place is literally hell. Lexi: Please two me one of you did your child genius thing and figured out a way back home Taina, who joined the Flag-Smashers and equipped them w murder bots: Don't be ridiculous, it wasn't that bad. Shay: Yeah! The place me and Yin landed in was sketchy, but people were very helpful when I was studying a way to reconstruct the accident! Yin, who achieved that helpfulness through much violence: Every day I got closer to murder.

Heroines of WOCtober: Agents of G.I.R.L.
While the Unstoppable Wasp series centers around Nadia Van Dyne, a white girl, I wanted to showcase a rich cast of brilliant young WOC that have been introduced, fleshed out and made into series regulars in these books. The premise is that Nadia wanted to use vast resources left her by her late father to find and help brilliant young girls that could have made it to the top of scientific fields if it wasn’t for lack of said resources. And so we were introduced to Taina Miranda, a robotics expert with ceberal palsy and her tomboyish sister Alexis; Priya Aggarwal, a genius in biology and botanics fields who had almost give up on science when we first meet her; Priscilla Lashaya Smith, Shay for friends, a physicist with a knack for portal technology; and Ying, Nadia's childhood friend who shares both her brilliance in study and application of Pym Particles and assassin training and who becomes Shay’s goth gf.
Recommended Readings:
The Unstoppable Wasp vol.1 #1-8 collected as The Unstoppable Wasp: G.I.R.L. Power - the series that introduces all the girls.
The Unstoppable Wasp vol.2 #1-10 collected in trades Fix Everything and G.I.R.L. vs A.I.M. - further develops the characters and their relationships.
I also want to recommend other titles from writer Jeremy Whitler, who has been known for creating a cast with many well-developed female characters and giving big role to WOCs in that cast. Pretty much everything in the Princeless series, be it the main series now composed of 9 4-issue miniseries or gay af Raven the Pirate Princess spinoff is worth giving a try.

So, Unstoppable Wasp is being canceled after issue #10, which stinks. Jeremy Whitley has new projects coming up at Marvel, and Nadia will continue to appear in Champions, but the particular magic of Nadia and the G.I.R.L.s and Janet and Bobbi and Jeremy's incredibly nuanced and engrossing writing is something I'm going to miss hard.
