::raises hand:: Question for y'all, concerning the series of shortfics I've been working on.

I can't make polls, so tallying comments will have to do. Based on post-SI, who do you

A) think is most likely

or

B) prefer

to be the one to help Steve tackle the problem of trying to revive Tony's mind from the Extremis?

ETA: Thanks, guys! It looks like the current frontrunners are Pepper and Peter, and I may try to work others in, depending on how the next couple of chapters go.

Right now, the Extremis is offline/fried and Tony can't access it, or use it to operate the armor designed to interact with it. I assume he downloaded the SHRA database into his noggin before this happened. The difficulty now is getting it out, because, well, the Extremis doesn't work anymore.

I think if Steve were around, he'd lend whatever support he could to get that database deleted, because 1)he always opposed it and 2)the theft of the database has made Tony a marked man. However, it's really not Steve's area of expertise. Maya Hansen invented Extremis... but I kinda hope Tony doesn't turn to her, because Maya is shockingly easy to buy or blackmail, and she'd probably sell him out.

With every man's hand against Tony it sure would be nice if Steve came back... Tony's outnumbered and seriously short of friends.

Oh! I get what you're saying... I didn't realize you were referring to your story, I thought you meant canon.

Hm, well, I think maybe Steve would get scientific assistance, from Reed or someone? Maya is the Extremis gal, but Reed is the smartest guy in the world, and a good deal more trustworthy than Maya.
