"I hope everyone got the last of the glitter out of their hair," Tony said once the class begin. "And clothing."

And probably a few places glitter was not meant to go.

"If not, well, keep trying." He was the most helpful person ever. "Today we're going to discuss something a little more... advanced. But it's fun, so you'll all like it. Tday is about Pym Particles."

Without Hank around. Because Hank? Hank had totally gone off the deep end into crazytown back home. But in a PG-13 way that didn't involve storylines that would haunt him for years to come. So, he lucked out in A:EMH. Though it was for the best since Tony got to skip Demon in a Bottle and Cap got to skip his weird Nomad phase.

"Pym particles were discovered by Dr. Hank Pym, who was successful in isolating them to the point where he could control the flow to increase and decrease the mass of objects and even people." So, he promptly fought crime with it. Made sense. "Prolonged exposure to these causes the body to be able to produce them naturally---ish. But that takes years to do."

He had yet to deal with any Young Avengers, though. So.

"Now I know, physics hurts at the thought of something being able to reduce and increase mass, but what they do is link the object to a different dimension where that mass can be siphoned to or from, depending on the size you're changing something to."

Tony cleared his throat and held up a gun that may or may not have been confiscated from 'Yellow Jacket'. Not that it would stop Hank from building a new one or anything. But it gave Tony an advantage should he edge toward villainy again. He pointed said gun at his desk, causing it to shrink down to the size found in a doll house.

"Ta-da." Wasn't that fun? "Okay, classwork today... I want everyone to discuss how this discovery could be applied in real world situations. That don't involve ants, Johnny."

All them particles.

Practical, real world applications for this new science. Tony was all ears.

"Can you put it back to normal size again?" Four asked. "Because carrying food and large amounts of stuff would be much easier if they're tiny, but kind of useless if it's all still tiny at the end."

"Takes a little finagling, but yes." Unless you were Jan or Hank. With their skill at using Pym Particles. Tony wasn't jealous or anything! Shut up!

"Though we'd probably want to test any side effects the particles might have on food meant for human consumption."

Four nodded. "Make sure it doesn't mess up weapons, too." He arched an eyebrow at the tiny desk. "It would make life easier for movers?"

"Pym Movers. I kinda like the sound of that." Because Tony was a terrible person.

"You could shrink annoying people so you didn't have to listen to them anymore," Cecil suggested. Steve Carlsberg

"Possible, but probably not legal." He'd have to get his lawyers on that one.

"Really?" Cecil frowned. "I don't remember seeing it listed anywhere in the municipal guidelines."

"If it's not, pretty sure it will be."

Cecil sighed. "Okay, in that case you could use it for...making sure you don't blow away if it's really windy?"

"Well the medical field would benefit," Barry tilting his head in thought. "You could miniaturize something like the Mars Rover and in eject it into a body. It could deliver medicine directly to a tumor and cut down on chemotherapy. It could perform surgery internally without doing anything invasive."

Well, that was a gross thought. "As invasive as having someone else inside you can be."

You are so lucky the joke made itself without him having to.

"Well it might be good for a doctor to take a patient out to a movie and a dinner first," Barry quipped.

"Maybe it would make construction easier and less expensive?" he tried. "You could build small models of buildings and then just size them up to the size you need?"

"But, you'd need to make sure of the structural stability of the models would translate to a larger size," Tony pointed out.

"In theory, you could mass produce it and create an army of Giant Men for military purposes," Johnny said. "Not that the is a thing that exists or anything."

If Tony was specifying ants, maybe his Pym hadn't gone giant. And bit the Blob's head off after Blob are Wasp.

Seriously, everything immediately following the Ultimatum Wave sucked.

"Yes, let's give people like General Ross that kind of power." THAT WAS A BAD IDEA. BAD.

"Actually, it's Nick Fury who did that for SHIELD," Johnny said. "I dunno if that's better or worse."

"Could have been Maria Hill for SHIELD."

And her insistence on registration.

"Oh my god, it'd be so much easier to get friends to help you move if you could shrink and unshrink your stuff," Gwen said.

"Vote number two for Pym Movers!" See, Hank had a brand new career path here. That didn't involve all the crazy.

In Andros' universe, a variation on this technology had eventually been used to imprison criminals, but that was really a bad idea on a number of levels and Andros wasn't about to be the first one to suggest it. "It does seem like it would be useful for storage and, as others have said, transportation."

Been there, done that. Twice now!

"Also good ideas. Anything more?"

Who was trying to get his desk back to the exact size it was before. Which was proving difficult because he wasn't Hank.

I'm doing all the laundry today. And clearing out my closet of clothing I don't wear. I FEEL ACCOMPLISHED.
