FuturePharm, Tuesday Afternoon

[imafuturist]

So, instead of calling The Avengers for help, Tony had decided to use an experimental process to fix his injuries and upgrade his... everything. Because that seemed like a reasonable thing that in no way would get him yelled at by anyone.

Sure.

For the moment, he was in what could only be described as a metallic cocoon as the changes to his body took place, blissfully unaware that someone was going to yell at him very soon.

[NFB again, duh. For the ladies]

Jessica shot webbing at his mouth. "I'm just really tired of him saying he's going to kill us," she said.

[imafuturist]

Thank you, Jessica! Only so much ranting could happen before it go annoying.

"Step back," Tony ground out, charging the unibeam.

Jessica backflipped onto the building behind her. "Clear!"

Mallen's response was somewhere along the lines of 'Mmph mmph mmmph!' which was probably more death threats.

This time he was hit with the unibeam, it didn't knock him back. Oh no, instead it punched right though his torso.

But he still wasn't dropping.

Be grateful Jessica had been trained by by Ultimate SHIELD leaders and wasn't going to lecture you about killing, Tony.

Oh wait, he wasn't dead? "Oh come on!"

[imafuturist]

Well, thank god for that. Even though Tony was going to have one hell of a freak out about it later. With alcohol.

"How is he still alive?!" And choking Tony still.

"Well, Extremis." Jessica webbed her fist up, then pulled herself in with a webline to add some extra velocity to web punch to Mallen's stupid face.

[imafuturist]

Extremis was the worst. And the best. But mostly the worst.

Tony took a deep breath and cupped Mallen's stupid, stupid face between his hands and fired both repulsors.

Which made one hell of a mess.

But it also finally caused Mallen to fall to the side. Until the headless body attempted to push itself back up and Tony had to scramble to the side like a macho superhero who spooked like a baby deer until it fell one last time.

"Should I web him to the ground just to make sure?" Jessica checked. "I don't think I fully believe that he's dead yet."

[imafuturist]

"...just to be safe."

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

Jessica webbed his arms and legs down, making sure to leave the gaping chest hole open so they could see if it healed somehow.

"Could've been worse. In my world, he probably would have also been a Hulk."

[imafuturist]

"What." WHY WAS YOUR WORLD SO TERRIBLE?

"It's a thing," she said with a shrug. "I need coffee. Know any place around here?"

DC was largely destroyed by an anti-matter person created by Reed RIchards by the time Jessica spent much time there. So she wasn't familiar with coffee places.
