As an exit strategy it's a little bullshit relying on an Imp like Q, but Janeway and Q were developing a completely different sort of relationship than he had established with the Boy Captains... They were almost buddies.
"I'm here, have your way with me, send my crew home."
But would he tap that?
I'm not slighting Janeway for losing bluebook value with the passing calendar, but Q is either going to feel the need to behave like a police man since there's this criminal in front of him being criminal and doing something very wrong and he'd have to, despite his instincts to not give a shit, deal with this interloper splitting timelines (and Q) in half from what must be, since she is derailing the incumbent civil war which he is more than aware about (we've all been the scarecrow!) or is he going to feel all seduced and romanticized, blushing that she would fold the universe over itself just to get into his pants?
What Q is asking for, alittle slap and tickle, is nothing different almost than what she gave the quicksilver lifeforms or how she mothered a new race of holograms with the Hirogen who were born to be tortured and slaughtered for the godmasters thrill... So really by season four Janeway would have accepted his proposal and by 2404 she was probably due for a roll in the hay and damn the consequences.
Of course would she approach him as the Admiral or try to pretend to the captain?
Being a man(like entity) he might have played along just so as to be the meat in a Janeway/Q/Janeway ses sandwich like Anya was suggesting in Buffy when she had two Xanders to play special hugs with this once in season 4.
