Above Stark Industries, Thursday afternoon

Steve was still sifting through the file photos of the Chinese Theater explosion when his phone rang. "Rogers," he said, sounding distracted.

"Click the link I'm sending you right now," Natasha said in his ear.

"Should I be worried?"

"Just watch it."

And that was why Tony was probably hearing some distinctly un-PG words coming out of Captain America's mouth as he watched his Tony threaten the Mandarin live on international television.

He did not laugh! He looked positively murderous for a second before forcing it into a calm expression.

Because of course Osborn would have picked that name too.

"I would contact him once I was certain I wouldn't put him in harm's way." A beat. "And Rhodey would punch me for it after putting himself there on his own."

"I'd wait," Tony said, low enough that the other Rhodey wouldn't hear him. That would probably just make things weird. "Formulate a plan first."
imafuturist: (wait what)

"AIM. Advanced Ideas Mechanics," Tony said. "Maya Hansen works for them?"

He covered his mouth.

"Maya, what have you gotten yourself into this time?"
imafuturist: (...what)

It was just a little cracked!

"Remember MODOK?"
imafuturist: (smile)

"Built by AIM," Tony said with a smile that wasn't exactly happy. "And Maya... Maya Hansen was the primary programmer of Extremis."

"See if this version of her is as lax in following ethical guidelines as the one I know," Tony muttered just a bit bitter. "God, the idea of the Mandarin with that is just..."

"The pure version that Maya and FuturePharm created was meant as a technological version of the super soldier serum," Tony replied. "Nano-technology that reprograms a subject on the cellular level."

He took a breath, rubbing his forehead.

"One soldier to take down all resistance in a city by themselves."

"The paired down version is the one I programmed for myself using her last sample of the injection." Ahem. No big.
imafuturist: (...what)

"Enhanced strength, speed, regenerative capabilities, uh... breathing fire." That one had sort of puzzled Tony, but hey. Different strokes. "I got the feeling it was just a hodgepodge of powers go see what stuck?"
imafuturist: (let me explain this science)

"Psychosis," Tony said, finding absolutely no way to soften that one. "It's... see, with you and even Schmidt, they only enhanced the possible limits of human capabilities. With this guy, it was everything and the kitchen sink. Not something the human brain can adapt to all at once."
imafuturist: (listening to you)

"I don't know," Tony replied. "This strain could be different. Butterfly effect and all that. And I didn't really get a chance to try with the other test subject back home."

Nope, just blew his head off and panicked a lot.
imafuturist: (talking at you)

"That would fit the Mandarin's MO," Tony replied slowly. "If Extremis is involved... you don't need to build a bomb. A subject could be one."
