::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.

Peter, Reed... though I do love Thor more and more every day. Given the most recent canon Non-Skrull Hank screaming "How could you let it happen?" at Tony during *ahem* "someone's" funeral and then Thor hauling Hank away, I'd like to see it be Hank, Thor, and Peter. Something about ex-friends getting back together always makes me happy.

Reed... is a genius, yes, but a bad friend. I understand him keeping his head down because he has a family of his own to look after, but really, when everyone's blaming a friend of yours for something, and you were right there beside him every step of the way, the rules of friendship should make you speak up in his defence.

I agree about Reed, now that you mention it. But isn't he sort of... slow, when it comes to social nuance and responsibilities and stuff like that? I don't really know, that's just kind of the impression I got. Like perhaps he doesn't understand that he's thrown Tony under the bus with the Thor issue? I'd really love it if Reed would speak up about his part in the whole thing.

And yes, as re: Thor. That situation is so sad. It would be great to see Thor either relent, or learn something that exonerates Tony a bit, and they could mend that fence.

All by way of saying if it were a fic question, it would be healing to see Thor do something good for Tony.
