Taylor: The Winsom Wasp

Taylor tried not to fidget as flechette applied the Eyeliner to her face, the older girl had been asked to come along because Taylor still hadn't got the hang of makeup, nearly two years of total social isolation tended to do that, Thank you very much Emma.

"I still don't see why i have to do this."

"Its your own fault." Vista looked up from the wig she was trying to Style with Panaceas help "You let your ants eat that guy after all." The younger girl had been sent to keep an eye on Taylor and because the youngest ward was popular with the younger generation. Panacea meanwhile was due to start work soon.

"They did not eat him!" Nibbled at worse "besides," she gestured at Panacea "Amy regrew his toes".

Ok so maybe shrinking a guy down to 1 inch tall and surrounding him with ants till he gave up his boss wasn't a heroic thing to do but he deserved it, She thought to herself.

That the look on his face had been priceless was only a bonus.

I am so glad win built that camera into my mask.

Reaching for the blusher Flechette spoke up "Is it just me or is the director getting more creative with her punishments lately?" the other wards nodded.

It was clockblockers fault, after another dressing down for inappropriate comments in public, he had come up with a long and contrived theory that proved 'Miss Piggy had no sense of humor and therefore a soulless abomination sent to torture them all' that he had decided to share with everyone.

Loudly.
In the ward common room.
Which was in the local PRT headquarters.
While the director was in hearing distance.
Seriously, who knew she could move so quietly?

Since then her punishments to wards who acted up had taken a turn for the cruel, most involved public events and speeches.

Done with the wig Vista passed it to Flechette who spent a couple of minutes pinning it into place.

"Hmm, you know Wasp, blonde really doesn't suit you...or maybe its the mask." Panacea wasn't even trying to hide her amusement.
Satisfied Flechette nodded to herself "Ok all done, stand up and lets see how you look."

How she looked was, in her opinion, ridiculous and she had to fight the impulse to cringe.
The "leaf" green dress was backless, which, ok she could understand, she grew wings after all. But there was no reason to show so much skin, her shoulders, arms and most of her legs were bare and the top had required way too much padding to get the right look. Give me a good armoured bodysuit anyday.'she thought to herself, and did they really have to hide bells inside the dress?

Panacea had been right about the blonde hair, the wig was currently pulled up into a high bun and its bright colour did not suit her skin tone. The domino mask did an ok job of covering her face even if it wasn't the wasp styled full face mask she usually wore.

At least no one thought to bring a wand she shuddered and privately swore that should anyone produce anything sufficiently wand like or sparkly that person would find it violently inserted into uncomfortable places.

That was when a grinning Vista drew her attention was a cough and waving the camra she had produced from her bag. It was part of the days PR, she was going to follow Taylor around taking pictures the PRT could use to show 'A ward taking time out to cheer up children at the local hospital'

"Its time to start my shift, are you ready?" looking over to the healer Taylor sighed before nodding, shoulders dropping in defeat. Reaching for her power she rapidly shrank herself down to about 6 inches tall, small enough to play the part but big enough to be seen. as always when she shrank a pair of insect like wings grew out of her back, letting her fly much faster than they should have.
Landing on Panaceas shoulder, dress ringing like a wind charm, she turned on the tinker device that made her glow faintly and called the butterflies from the box Vista had brought with her.

For the next week she would be making the rounds with Panacea through the various childrens wards entertaining the children while the healer worked.

As they moved through the halls she went over her mental checklist
1, Smile.
2, Put spiders in Clockblocker bed for this.
3, Remember Tinkerbell "can't talk" (thank god).
4, Tell Vista it was Clockblocker who started that rumor.
5, Take care not to hurt any of the children.
6, Cover Clockblocker in bees.
7, keep an eye on the butterflies.
8, kill Clockblocker!

It was going to be a long week.

This idea came from rewatching Avengers:EMH. I figured it would be amusing to give Taylor all of Wasps canon powers (size change, insect control, flight bio-blasts).

This is just a one shot i wanted to write to help me improve my writing, though i do have some notes for the story (mostly power info and some world info) if anyone wants to run with it.

This was un-beta'd and constructive crits and advice are always welcome.

Edit: forgot to title it, fixed a format issue
