"I love you, too. And how right you are--about everything. I've pretty much dropped all of my other projects trying to fix this one.
I've gotta tell Pepper. I can't keep her in the dark, either. She won't be any happier than you are about it, but she deserves to know."

"She's going to be pissed" Jess replied with a miserable laugh "she cares more than she lets on that Pepper."

He smiled faintly.
"Yes. She's like family. I can understand her getting mad because it just means she feels the same way."
He sighed, giving Jess a light squeeze.
"I...I'll find a way. Somehow. I don't give up easy."

"Yea, I know."
When Jess thought about it, Pepper would probably be her maid of honor if Tony and her ever decided to tie the proverbial knot. She'd ask her sister, but she was pretty sure her sister was working for Lex Luthor and too busy being, well her sister to have time for something like that.
"We're pretty fucked up aren't we?"

His laugh was a ragged one.
"Oh, yeah! But it has it's perks sometimes, you know."

"Sometimes" she mumbled in to his chest, rapping her fingers gently against the arc reactor.

He frowned down at said arc reactor, a source of one of his woes.
"I don't suppose you know a good replacement for Palladium?"

Jess actually thought about it for a moment, something nagged at her brain, like she'd read it in a comic book once.
"I don't," she looked genuinely confused for a second "there's nothing?"

"No. You'd need an element just like it, but the problem is...there isn't one. It'd have to be something completely new."
An element that didn't exist. Wasn't that just dandy?

And I need a new brain
She sighed "You'll figure it out, don't you know any scientists that could help?"

"Not personally. I'd have to be careful who to ask, since, well...you and I are the only ones that know about the poisoning, and you can imagine what kind of mess it would cause if that got out."

"If any of this got out" she thought about Dr. Crane for the first time in a long time. It was obvious to her now that it was his fear toxin that helped create the creature that was inside of her. Before then she had been normal, wel as normal as it was for someone like her in this place.
She wished silently that she could find Dr. Crane and give him a taste of his own medicine, but she imagined he all ready had.

"I was, heh" she smiled sadly "I was thinking about Dr. Johnathan Crane. After Ra's Al Ghul and him kidnapped Alfred and I, they both fell off the face of the earth. I was thinking it's obvious now that it was his fear toxin that helped create her, Bruce had taken samples of my blood hoping to create a anti venom but I don't know that he ever actually managed to do it."

He frowned as he thought about Crane and Ras, two adversaries of Batman that had no resolution. But on the other hand...
"Did you ever have a chance to ask about an anti-toxin?"
As much as he loathed to admit it, he was starting wonder if he could get the curmudgeon to help him with the Palladium poisoning.
