Hey guys. Sorry I haven't updated in FOREVER, I've just been really busy. Thanks for bearing with me!
As usual, I don't own Iron Man. However, I was recently given an Iron Man plushie, thanks to one of my sister's friends, who has somehow heard that I absolutely love Iron Man. This is true.
Chapter 5
He understands why Pepper did it, why she injected him with the Extremis: she loves him, and couldn't bear to lose him. She claims that it was because the world is still in need of his brilliant mind, but he sees right through that excuse. She was selfish in saving him, but he is definitely not one to judge her for her being selfish.
That isn't to say he is upset that she did it. Quite the contrary, actually. But using the Extremis so soon was not something he would have considered. Yes, he would have injected himself with it eventually, but this was way too soon. The Extremis easily could have killed him.
However, Tony isn't one to question why things like this happen. Sure enough, if he would have wanted to know where ultrahigh-energy particles come from or how the heavy elements from iron to uranium were made, that would be one thing. But, all he knows is that the Extremis did heal him as it was supposed to, leaving him with a healing factor that rivals Wolverine's, and also gave him the remarkable ability to directly link his mind with other technology. He isn't going to go prodding around for answers just yet.
Having a constant connection to technology sounds cool, but it really messes with your head. Any normal person would have had their brain overloaded with the constant supply of data. But he is Tony Stark; if he can't handle it, no one can. He welcomes the steady stream of data. It makes things interesting and more convenient. With the entire expanse of technological ability available to him in his mind, the possibilities are endless. And now, all of this comes as naturally as breathing to Tony.
Of all his new abilities, his favorite is his aptitude to send out signals that allow him to communicate and easily control technology. Including his suit.
He likes this. He used to feel that without the suit, he had no power, nothing to protect him. Now he can call the suit with a simple thought. Now he will never be vulnerable. Now Iron Man is truly a part of him.
