Nadia Van Dyne is new to this. New to being a Super Hero, new to being a real friend and stepdaughter (to one of the founding Avengers, no less), new to running her own lab, and new to being her own person, far, far away from the clutches of the Red Room-the infamous brainwashing/assassin-training facility. She''s adjusting well to all of this newness, channeling her energy into being a good friend, scientist and Super Hero. But Nadia''s finding that there are never quite enough hours in a day. So, when she''s gifted a virtual assistant powered by the most cutting-edge A.I. technology that the world has to o er, Nadia jumps at the opportunity to "do less, experience more"-just like the advertisements say. The device works-really works. But it''s never quite that simple, and not everything is as it seems.
