I used to believe in science

Antoinette didn't expect to meet the Avengers here before coming here, but it's reasonable to think about it a little bit. Since Maya's research is used to carry out terrorist attacks, then Tony probably needs the Avengers to help protect Maya.

When she got off the plane and looked at Dr. Banner who came out to check the situation, she didn't think anything was wrong, even though she was frowning and embarrassed, "Hey, Doctor, you are here, where are the others?"

"We caught the Extremis who triggered the attack. Natasha is trying to get clues from him. Everyone else is over there. It's just me and Hank here." Banner replied, looking past her curiously. Batman and a mage, who got off the plane behind her, followed silently at a certain distance, and only nodded to him.

"Where's Tony? I thought he liked being with you more than torturers?" Antoinette asked curiously as he walked in.

"Niti, why are you here? I heard you were seriously injured." Banner followed her and asked, his tone full of disapproval, "Why are you with Batman? How could the hospital let you Come out? What did the doctor say?" The latter sentence was obviously addressed to Doctor Strange walking behind them.

"They didn't let me out." Antoinette waved him. "But it's urgent."

She walked in, walked to the second floor with ease, saw Ant-Man coming out at the elevator entrance, and greeted him, but Pym raised his arm to block her way and opened his mouth to speak, which finally made her realize that something was wrong.She stopped, looked back at Banner who was nagging 'this is not in accordance with medical regulations', and asked strangely, "Doctor, you haven't answered my question yet, where is Tony?"

"..." Banner closed his mouth, he adjusted his glasses, his eyes wandered but he didn't meet Antoinette's eyes, "He...he's not here."

"Doctor, you won't lie at all." Antoinette asserted in just a second, she turned her head to look at Pim who was blocking him, and asked again, "Is Tony here?"

"..." Dr. Pym was even less good at interpersonal communication than Banner, he opened his mouth, and then he looked over her to look at Banner for help, and then said, "Listen to me, Nitty, Tony... he's okay. "

"..." Antoinette didn't want to listen anymore. Pim's words didn't mean "okay" at all, and there was never a good thing when it was about Tony. She was worried now, and she was blocked by Pim. The door to the room at the end of the passage "Isn't he here? Where's Maya?"

"Antoinette." Maya flashed out from that room, and then quickly closed the door, so that Antoinette did not see the scene in the room at all. She hurried to Antoinette's side, ignoring the others Just to appease her "Listen to me, Tony's current condition cannot be disturbed...he is going through the most critical stage of remodeling."

"Reshaping." Antoinette repeated the word blankly, feeling dizzy and unable to breathe.

This word repeatedly appeared in the experimental report of Extremis. Antoinette had read this report on the principle of Extremis.Maya's original design was to break through the human genetic code. It can modify some human defects at the genetic level. It will completely destroy the subject's body and reshape it according to the preset code.

She took two steps back, but a pair of hands supported her shoulders from behind, keeping her from falling. The hoarse voice asked him, "Is he in the laboratory now?"

Maya nodded.

"How long."

Everyone was silent for a while, as if they were afraid that what they said would irritate Antoinette again, and finally Banner answered honestly, "Since the battle on the highway."

"What highway?" Antoinette looked around blankly, as if everyone knew what was being said, only she missed it.

"That was already a day ago." Batman pursed his lips, but still calmly asked for information, "What's the situation now? Is this normal?"

"The reshaping of Extremis will take at least 72 hours...but Tony, deleting the insurance agreement from Extremis will speed up the process a lot."

"Insurance agreement, that means the risk is doubled." Antoinette no longer knew what to say, she repeated blankly, every word of Maya was pushing the low success rate of the hopeless situation even lower "I to see him."

"Niti, don't."

At the same time, several hands stopped her from different directions, so she had to stop and look at all the superheroes around who tried to stop her, "Why?"

"That scene won't be very good." Banner said this out of good intentions, but his words did not help stabilize Antoinette's mood. On the contrary, his desire to see someone became more urgent.She shook off those hands almost roughly, and walked towards the room at the end.

Fortunately, no one tried to catch up and stop her.

But before she could push the door open, the door was pulled from the inside, an arm came out of it, and then the whole person.Antoinette stood still, her eyes widening as she watched her brother come out, wearing only a pair of trousers.

The first thing Antoinette noticed was his naked upper body. The reactor that should have been deeply embedded in his chest and oppressed his heart was no longer there, and the scars left by the hasty surgery under harsh conditions were gone.

She cautiously reached out to touch the smooth and complete fake skin.

Tony didn't move, he watched Antoinette's movements, made sure that she confirmed that she was real after contact, and then pulled her hand away. "It's me, alive, and better than before."

"Better than before?!" For a moment, Antoinette looked up to see the raging anger burning behind her eyes, but it only took a moment to wilt, and the half-lidded eyelids were tired "Banner and Hank Said you were dying before."

Tony raised his head and cast puzzled looks at the friends behind him. The others were relieved to see him intact. Banner took off his glasses and wiped them with the corner of his clothes, "To be honest, we didn't say that ...but we can't fool her either."

"I can't blame you. Her job is to see through people's lies." Tony shrugged, and looked down at the person in front of him again. Now he started to worry about the other person. Antoinette shouldn't be here. "Why are you here?" ? I didn’t see the discharge report signed by the doctor, and your heart rate has increased by 12 percentage points from the beginning.”

"Why do you know that my heart rate has increased by 12 percentage points than usual?" Antoinette suddenly raised her head, and said suspiciously, she saw Tony's original gray-blue pupils were dyed black, and faded after a second .

"I upgraded and got better, and now I can connect to any network at will, and operate my armor like a part of the body, no more delays."

In all fairness, Antoinette doesn't think he's happy to hear that Tony gained these abilities, because the risks that come with it are quite high.

"This means that the Extremis virus has indeed passed the human experiment?" Batman raised a question to break the deadlock, and also reminded Antoinette of the purpose of her trip, "It repaired your injury."

"Yes." Tony was puzzled by his question, but answered anyway.

"So can it repair brain damage?"

"The design of Extremis can repair any kind of damage." It was Maya who answered him. As the designer of Extremis, she showed her pride in her work, as well as the fanaticism of scientists when they saw a glimmer of possibility, "What are you going to do?" ?"

"...We have someone." Antoinette glanced at Batman, and then replied, "Her brain is not seriously damaged, and using Extremis is the only way at present."

"It won't work." But before Maya could say anything, Tony firmly refused in her place, and Antoinette stared at him with wide-eyed eyes.

Maya, too, glared at Tony and poked Tony with her hand, "You, the beneficiary of the desperate situation, you are not eligible."

"Maya, you had a lot of worries when I asked for the injection." Tony refuted Maya's words, more like saying to all the people present, "The fatality rate of injection in the desperate situation is still 97.5%, I survived on my own." ..."

"97.5% fatality rate?!" Antoinette repeated with wide-eyed eyes.

"My point is," Tony continued, ignoring her words, "that an unconscious person would probably not survive this."

"Tony is right." Antoinette turned around and saw that the person who said this was Pim, and Banner's worried face showed that he was also on Pim's side.

"But we have no other way." Antoinette said, and she patted Tony's arm. "I need this, Tony, she has very important information, we have to bring her back to life. I know you guys The best biologists, as well as doctors, with you, you can help modify the impasse."

Tony frowned and glanced at Antoinette. He can be said to be very curious now. This unknown "she" made Antoinette drag his sickly body out and run, as well as Batman from the Justice League.And how desperate they must be, after knowing such a fatality rate, they still want to use this thing.

"Who is that? Who is the person you are talking about who is in urgent need of treatment, and why is she so important?"

When he asked this question, he saw Antoinette quickly lowered his head and looked away. This was not a good sign. As far as Tony knew, it was a signal that Antoinette wanted to avoid talking, so in Before she could make up nonsense, he simply walked past her and asked the others directly, "Who is she? Let me meet her."

"…" Batman turned sideways, telling Antoinette before he could do anything to stop him, "She's on the plane."
