I'm trying to get some sort of gravitas into the story that cant just be handwaved away, but I don't really know how and it's crippling my ability to do it.

Ever considered a reverse of what happened to Mackie: Jet wakes up in a flesh and blood body? Reverse everything that she counts as a strength: take away her pazerkunst, her connections, her deep pockets. Leave her barefoot making fists with her toes when the shit hits the fan in a smaller, more person-able way (that she can't just punch, kick, or shoot). Something more Doctor Who. Something opening the door to character growth. Maybe she chooses to walk away and leave it behind to start fresh.
In short, make her vulnerable, and the challenge doesn't have to be cosmic?
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle
"Being told to be 'open minded' about something is usually a code for 'you're not going to like this, but I want to subject you to it anyway'. Conversely, being told that you are 'closed-minded' is generally a means of asserting that 'I don't like the fact that you're proving me wrong, so I will pretend that your failure to agree with my argument is a philosophical deficiency'." - RationalWiki
