I used to believe in science

"Who is she?" Tony stood in front of the life support cabin, looking at that face in disbelief, he knew that other people could not explain this, and Tony didn't want to hear it from others, he wanted to hear it from Antoinette himself.

Antoinette sat silently on the right side behind him.Since the life support was moved from the plane to the lab, the others had left, and Antoinette had asked them so these experts and geniuses would take a moment to discuss Extremis, and she and Tony were destined to have a conversation.

"She's me, a part of me." Tony's stiff back because of this sentence made Antoinette realize that starting with this sentence might not be a good choice.

"Is that a joke?" Tone too lightly is a sign of avoiding the question.

"No." This is the most regrettable.

Bruce had to join the discussion, it was really efficient to discuss with a group of geniuses, and given that there was an MD, two top biologists, and the remaining one was the creator of Extremis, so now instead It was he who became the one who struggled to follow up on ideas.

He could just sit back and wait for these experts to come to a conclusion, but this was Antoinette's business, and he wanted to make sure he understood every detail.

The voices that were going to be talked in the other door were getting louder and louder. The scientists who were discussing heatedly didn't notice, but they didn't escape Batman's ears. He quietly exited the discussion, turned around and walked to the experiment room. When I raised my hand to knock on the door, I heard a clear voice from inside asking, "If nothing like this happened, when are you going to tell me?"

There was ten seconds of silence before another voice said honestly "I'm never going to tell you."

"Howard must have his reasons for doing this, and it's not just his decision..."

"Howard has never been a qualified father!" Tony's raised voice reminded Batman that what he was hearing now was a private family matter, and he should probably push it away, but if he didn't remind him, their next conversation would get louder and louder. The tone will be heard by all.

So he pushed open the door, and the two people in the laboratory looked at each other across the life support cabin. When he broke in, they shut up tacitly and turned their heads to look at him. Batman cleared his throat and reminded "your voice too big."

Tony's glaring was ignored by him, and the former also realized that it was pointless to get angry with him, so he turned his head to look at Antoinette again, and then looked down at the life support cabin, with a sad look creeping up the corner of his eyes.According to Antoinette, the half of her lying in the life support cabin is her split half, so this girl he has never met is also his sister. He has never seen her for more than 20 years. This form is simply ironic.

Tony didn't know, should he say something?How to get along with family members does not seem to be written in the genes of the Stark family, and they have not dealt with each other when Howard was still around.He half-desolately wondered if it was because he never listened to Howard that his father hadn't told him such an important thing about Antoinette.

He wanted to leave, terrified of not being able to speak, knowing that he should support Antoinette the way Antoinette supported him every time, but what kept repeating in his mind was that if he knew Howard's chance, everything would be different. will go this far.

"I'm going to see Maya's plan." In the end he ignored Batman and fled.

Now only Antoinette and Batman are left.

Bruce watched Antoinette slowly sit back in the chair, curled up with his feet on the chair, his head buried in his arms and knees.He wanted to go up there and give her a hug and tell her it was going to be all right.

He can't, he doesn't have the qualifications, and Batman isn't a symbol of hope.

But at least he can go, "Are you sure you want to do this?" As Tony said before, the reshaping process of Extremis is very painful and difficult to endure.

"I'm not sure, I don't know if Natalie wants to do this... When we talked before, I told her that I respect personal will... And now I'm making the decision for her."

"That's not what I'm talking about," Batman said. "The remodeling process might affect you too." Early on he wondered why only Antoinette was hurt so badly in that explosion, and then he confronted the It took time for Superman to salvage Natalie, and realized that the reason why she fell into a coma might be because Natalie's injuries reflected on her body.

"Ah, that." Antoinette responded with a bleak smile. "Maybe, but that's just empathy, and it won't really hurt me."

"Injury is not defined in this way." Batman said this, but it was cut off abruptly. He couldn't show too much concern. Antoinette was a psychologist herself and she would quickly realize that he had crossed the line.

It took more than half a day to finalize the final technology. Several biologists have their own opinions, but they all agree that the hopeless situation is not stable enough and there is absolute danger, and it is necessary to do everything possible to implement safety protocols to ensure survival.

"There is no enhancement, no additional new ability development, only brain repair, putting all the first elements above the protective receptors."

Antoinette could even see the dangerous light in Maya's eyes. She was excited by the knowledge given to her by so many experts and the long-term breakthrough in a short period of time.This made her a little concerned that Maya might be on her way to becoming a mad scientist.

"We will not let the Extremis virus appear in the world." Others beside her saw her worry, "No drug should enter the clinical stage until the potential danger is confirmed to be controllable, and this mode of operation of Extremis will never This condition may be met.”

She turned her head and saw Tony standing beside her, looking at Natalie with her eyes closed.After half a day, they both calmed down and could talk normally. She was very grateful that Tony was willing to take the initiative to talk to her, which meant that they could solve the problem together.

"I still hope you can think carefully about it again." Banner walked over, he looked worried and quite skeptical about the possibility of this desperate situation, "Me and Hank still think the risk is too high."

"..." Antoinette didn't answer right away because she was actually not sure. She knew that Natalie would definitely agree to do this just for the betterment. There is a whole hell of demons out there who want their lives. People like Natalie Situation impossible to survive this wanted.

But in fact, there is another way... Antoinette said to himself in his heart, you know, the Supreme Mage must have left such a spell to allow them to reunite...

So is it necessary?Take the risk of extremity?All were certain that their union would have serious consequences, but no one could say exactly what.

I will follow your method first, if not, then you have to listen to me.

Antoinette put his hand on the life support cabin, scratched off a piece of frost on it, and revealed a clear face that was probably [-]% similar to her, and said to another person in his heart.

"We will find a way to save you both." Tony put his hand on her shoulder, she turned her head in surprise, and saw the firmness in the other's blue eyes.

"Tony." Banner called out to him warningly, "Don't encourage her."

"You can't persuade her." However, Tony just shrugged, which felt unexpectedly familiar, just like Tony came back from Afghanistan and firmly demanded to close the weapons department, just like when Iron Man's identity was exposed, time and space reversed, This time Tony also chose to support her.

Banner next to him sighed and said resignedly, "At least I tried."

Antoinette had been standing outside the laboratory during the injection of Desperation. She watched the needles being pushed into the human body in the life support cabin, and jokingly asked Batman, who was also standing outside the laboratory, "You said Captain America Is it the same in your experiment?"

"The report of the super soldier serum did not mention any reports of mortality. The only known serum injectors are Captain and Red Skull. Although the circumstances are not the same, they are not fatal...Dr. Erkins is a very A scientist with high moral standards." Batman answered her flatly, his eyes still looking into the laboratory.

But Antoinette averted her gaze. She turned to look at the bat. Most of the other's head was tightly wrapped in the helmet. The small ears on the helmet looked cute in bright light. Words wrapped in low air pressure.She carefully observed the other person's chin, which was one of the few exposed, trying to figure out some clues from the shape of that chin.

Of course Batman noticed her gaze, and after she'd looked long enough, he turned his head and met her, looking warningly.

So Antoinette said thoughtfully, "This is very interesting... Captain America's super serum report is quite confidential material, and it is not very important intelligence content. But you are quite aware of some details in it. Have you seen it? This report..."

"Stark." Batman froze for a moment, then gritted his teeth and warned her in a low voice.

But Antoinette was not scared, she was never scared, so she continued to reason, "Either you are a scientific researcher in the military, so you can read the report openly, or you are that kind of crazy The scientists who wanted to copy the serum deliberately hacked this report...of course it is also possible...you read this by the way when you get a lot of information."

She nodded her chin, thought for a while and asserted, "It's not the first type. The military's scientific research personnel are not so good at reaching out, and they are not so free to patrol Gotham every night. You are not like a mad scientist...you know Well, interestingly, both of the latter guesses mean you're not that much of a conformist person."
