And it burns like a gin and I like it
Put your lips on my skin and you might ignite it

"What are we tryna steal?" Scott asked, trying to catch up with the two teenagers, they walked so fast, he didn't know if they had too much of super strength or he just simply got old.
"The eye of Agamotto." Strange girl said.
"The eye of Aga what?"
"It's some sort of stones that can control time." Parker boy replied.
"Control time...? For real? Like shrinking into ant's size is not shocking enough." Scott said tiredly.
"For certain objects, I'm not trying to go back in time, I don't know the consequences for that. We're about to repair this damaged photograph." She handed him the picture of Ben holding Peter.
Scott looked at her confusedly. "You're about to steal the powerful thing time controller for a piece of paper?"
"It's not just a piece of paper, it's a rare photograph of young Peter with his dead uncle." She said bluntly then apologized. "Sorry, Peter."
"It's okay, it's true." Peter shrugged.
"And I've always wanted to try and bring my dead brother back to life too." She added.
"Dead brother--" He cut himself. "Won't we get in trouble for doing this? This sounds even more serious than the airport fight."
"I would be in trouble, not the two of you, if anything goes wrong I'll take the blame." She crossed her arm.
"A job this big... with the team would be better, but I understand that you need to keep Peter identity's a secret." Scott murmured. "So... where exactly are we going?"
"Nepal."
"What?? That's like 20 hours flight."
"Or 2 seconds." She made a portal and Scott screamed at the glowing light that hit his eyes and hid behind Peter's back.
"Relax, sir, I know it's hard to take in but magic is real." Peter told him.
"Wow... this is kinda amazing." Scott said, as soon as he stepped over the glowing circle the air changed, he realized it worked and he actually got teleport all the way to Nepal.
"Welcome to Kamar-taj." She said, showing him the place behind her. Only Scott Lang was still amazed by her teleportation.
"Holy shit. You know what you should do?"
"Huh?"
"You should start an airline business, only you don't need a plane, all you need is to circle your hands like that and get their money. You have to do it, you'll be crazy rich!"
"..." She looked at him blankly.
"Or... maybe not. Just a suggestion."
"Will you help me steal the eye of agamotto?"
"Sure, I don't really have any choice." Scott smiled.
"Good, Peter. I'll need you to hear my dad's summary, first." She looked at him.
"Oh? Okay?"
"Don't know if I mentioned it, but my father was an actual doctor before."
"That makes sense."
"He was a great, great surgeon, he was rich, and successful, and smart, and stupid that he use his phone while he was driving. So he drove himself off the cliff."
Peter stunted a little, and he replied. "That's why you always do jumping off the cliff joke."
"Unintentionally. Still, he was desperate, his hands are always shaking, he couldn't continue his career like that. So he went into many surgeries, also went completely broke. Those were the time I ran away with Hayden, which I didn't know anything that happened to him."
"Your brother. Right." Peter nodded. Scott stood there, feeling very interested in the story.
"He heard from rumors, that one crippled man can walk again, so he traced him with his last money, and found this place. Kamar-taj, Peter, a place to train the master of mystic arts, so they protect all our sanctums in the world including all the enemy."
"That's one hell of a plot." Scott chuckled. "For me, I got out of jail then robbed people, stole this suit, confusedly put them on, and now I can be an ant-sized man."
"I thought you were bitten by an ant." Peter said.
"What?" Scott asked back.
"Because-- I was bitten-- by a spider." He blinked his big brown eyes.
"I was saying, this is a place for broken people to feel whole again, you don't entirely have to be injured, but be here you are healed."
"..." Peter didn't say anything.
"Okay maybe that doesn't apply for me but I know you can put on an act." She signed.

Wong was listening to Beyonce.
Who run the world?
Girls.
Who run the world?
Girls.
Who run the world?
Girls.
His ears were running the world with girls and so he didn't notice when (Y/n) Strange, Peter Parker and tiny Scott Lang on her shoulder snuck behind him deeper into Kamar-taj.
Once they passed him, she put a spell on Peter, made it seem like he wore one of the trainee's uniform. Meanwhile, Ant-man was hidden under her cloak.
A couple of masters of magic walked their ways.
"Just put on a show." She said.
Peter didn't really know what that meant but they got too close now.
"Littl-- I mean, Lady Strange. It's been a while since you last came here." One of them said.
"Masters." She nodded, they wouldn't walk by so she continued. "This is..." She looked at Peter. "Ben. Ben Shapiro. I'm taking him in to see Wong and let him join one of us. We have my father's permission."
"What's your story, Ben?" The master asked. "What have you been through that made you choose this path?"
Peter, as Ben, breathed nervously. "I... ugh..."
He couldn't think of anything, he wanted to say he was bitten by a spider, but then that would be obvious. He can't say he has some disease for he sure didn't look so.
And so he went with some of his experiences, "I was a climber, of Mount Everest. But I got lost with my team in the snow, and my... genital organ was frozen.
"What the fuck?" Little Scott asked, too small for the two masters to hear.
(Y/n) snorted. "--Well, yes, he's here to cure his frozen, genital organ."
The masters of magic looked at each other.
Then smiled.
"That's very brave of you. Get well soon." They walked away.
Peter let out a long exhale. "That was close."
"Your penis is really frozen, kid?" Scott asked.
"No!" Peter laughed.
"Sh..." (Y/n) said, the hallway had almost 10 masters guarding ahead. She bit her lower lip, not knowing how to fix the situation.
"Can you take them down?" Peter asked.
"Not all at once, they're too out in the open, I act on one I might alert them all. I mean, my magic is strong enough to make hundreds normal human sleep at the same time, but these are the masters, the mentors."
"Let's deal with them without magic then." Peter said. "Time to put you to work Mr. Ant."
"It's Lang but never mind."
"These are sleeping spideys." He released them out of his suit. They were cute robotic Spiders in the size of the beans. "We're going to sneak around every corner, and you can secretly put these on their necks, then I activate it, and they all sleep safely altogether."
That plan went nicely, and Scott sure made himself useful, from afar it almost seemed nothing happened at all, but look closer and a man in the size of an any was working his ass off.
"Phew! That was long." He returned to them.
"But that should work." Peter preyed, then pushed the button on his wrist, it shocked all of them manually and they fell right to sleep. Though the masters of mystic art are skillful, their physical form is still human.
"Technology and magic are a good match, don't you think?" Peter asked for a high five.
"Yup." (Y/n) gave him back.
"Yeah, you two are a good match." Scott smiled.
They froze, then turned into two tomatoes, they've discussed nothing about that kiss yet, and so they walked awkwardly away from each other, Scott wondered what he said wrong.
"We're here." She said as she looked at the library, Wong usually stays here but since he was out jamming to Beyonce, she was good to go. She walked through all the books she read before and headed straight to the forbidden ones.
"I don't think this is a good idea." Scott said.
"I just want one book." She said, lost in the hope for magic.
It was out of her reach, and so she tried to fly up, but cloak pulled her down.
"Hey!" She yelled.
"I think it agrees with me." Scott muttered.
"Go away, cloak." She removed the cloak, and asked Peter instead. "Give me a lift please?"
"Can I give some suggestions instead?" Peter scratched his head nervously.
"You may not."
"Okay. But like, listen to me." He walked very close to her. "All this, for my picture, stealing a forbidden book that would likely cause consequences. Maybe let's not do this."
"I'm not turning back now. This is my only chance, dad got things to take care of, I need to do this now before he comes back."
"You're amazing, (Y/n)." That went blunt out of the blue. "You're an incredible person, spectacular witch. You're charming and kind. But you're holding onto your past too much."
He was a little afraid he'll get sent to Everest but she shrugged.
"I'm self-aware. Only about I'm holding on my past part."
"So why don't you move on... with me?"
"..." The whole room got quiet.
Scott buried himself into the darkness of the library's corner, hoping he was lizard man instead so he could blend in with the wallpaper.
