I never imagined. Never dreamed. My worst fear came true. I know now. No one's going to save me. I'm going to save myself.

Synopsis for "Growing Up"Edit

Pym discovers Veil in her attempt to bring back Janet Van Dyne. However, it turns out that what they perceived to be Janet is actually Carina Walters. And where she is, Michael Korvac is as well. However, Carina has no intention of returning to her husband. Korvac, on the other hand, isn't willing to let her go nor his eternal plans of conquest. The Avengers and New Avengers then arrive in the Academy to defeat Korvac once again. Meanwhile, Jocasta sequesters the Academy students and Carina into a saferoom which shunt to other dimensions every 2.3 seconds, though the effort is futile.

While Korvac is slowly besting the Avengers, Carina explains her history with Korvac and how she came to be his wife. The story came to an end when she trapped herself in Underspace. And that's when Pym found her, mistaking her for Janet. And when Pym gave Carina Janet's memories, she saw that the former Avengers was marked by similar experience but grew stronger for them. Unfortunately, she's not powerful enough to stop Korvac.

Veil then starts blaming herself for letting this happen. Carina compliments her to owning up to her mistakes and tells the students that Korvac is not invincible and cites the example of how the Red Skull disintegrated him with antimatter. In conclusion, the students themselves are the only hope of defeating Korvac. She offers to place them in the bodies of their adults selves from other timelines, but only if they consent. Veil is confused, thinking that she's dead in the future. Carina assures her that she's currently looking at a timeline where Veil is 30 years old. Veil then agrees.

Outside, Korvac floors the Avengers. Only Speedball is left standing. Though he is temporarily able to overwhelm Korvac and weaken him, it is still not enough. But that's the least of Korvac's worries, as the the Academy students step out as adults to face him.
