Aldrich was sitting on the chair, with an oppressive atmosphere around him. He pulled his sleeves up, "inject me! Before Iron Man comes here."

Maya hesitantly looked at him, "although it's stabler, it's not ready."

Aldrich glared at her, "if I get caught, then you are coming down with me! Don't forget that you were with me right there, injecting them!"

Maya's lips dried out when Primo stroked her back, "wait, we still have time, right? We can think of another way."

"No, we don't have time! I have been keeping an eye on Tony and his activities! His flight records are getting faster and faster. At his highest speed, he should be here in a few minutes! Maya! Do it!"

Maya took a deep breath, opening the box, taking her time. When she was about to insert it, the roof broke apart, Iron Man landed on the floor. Aldrich took it away from her, jamming it in his upper arm, "you are too late, Tony Stark!"

He pushed Maya away, walking towards Tony, who stood straight, "It's Iron Man. And you will pay."

Aldrich laughed, "Hahahaha! No, it's time for you to pay!" He put his hand on Iron Man's chest, gritting his teeth, trying to melt it.

Iron Man looked at it, scratching his cheek, "so...something is going to happen?"

Aldrich growled, punching his face, but Iron Man just shrugged, "now you are just embarrassing yourself, man."

Aldrich turned around, shouting at Maya, "why won't it work!!"

Maya shrugged, without missing a beat, "because this is the successful and stable version of Extremis. Extremis 0.1. Although it doesn't give you a superpower, it is good with other things. It permanently doubles the healings speed of wounds, lets your body maintain prime condition even if you are old. When first taken, it gives you few heightened senses and acts as a steroid; It also lets you stay away for weeks without getting tired. You can get that effect back if you insert it again. Also, it basically works as a medicine for all things like influenza, hypothermia-"

"Shut up!! Just shut up! What the hell is wrong with you! Why did you insert me with that?!"

Iron Man was rubbing his chin, "come on, I was listening. But you did it...what did you call it? Extremis."

Maya pressed her lips, looking towards Iron Man, "sorry...but I was the one who dragged Jay into this. I was coming to see you...to ask for your help, to stop the human experimentation. But you were ...well somewhere."

She, herself, wasn't sure if this was going to work, but Primo told her, this way, she would come out as a whistleblower whose product was being misused. Rather than the evil scientist.

"You betrayed me!!"

"I think it's time for a timeout for you," Iron Man raised his hand, electrocuting him, making him fall down, but he still hadn't fainted.

He electrocuted him with an even higher voltage until Aldrich finally fainted.

He clapped his hands, "well, that's a very potent product. I want one. After it has been approved."

He looked up, only to find Primo hugging Maya, mouthing thank you towards him, "and my work here is done. Authorities would be here soon, taking him on the charge of attempting murder."

Los Angeles,

When Tony landed in the building, a doctor was leaving, having wrapped the burned skin on Jay's neck.

"You should have told me you have an inside man or more like an inside woman."

"Ah, so you met Maya," Jay whispered, touching his bandages when Pepper slapped his hand away, looking towards Tony, "so soon?"

"Well, they fooled Aldrich by injecting a less lethal and a very stable version of Extremis. I actually ordered a few for myself."

Jay chuckled, "for nightly activities?"

Tony sat down as the bleeding edge Uru armor disappeared in his body, "oh, you didn't just say nightly activities."

Jay smiled, glancing away, looking back at him, "changing the topic won't help. I know the effects."

Tony leaned on the sofa without replying, "with this, you are free to buy as many shares as you want."

"If you are asking if I panned the attack, then no. But I did know there was a chance that I might be attacked. Just didn't expect it would be in public."

Pepper worriedly looked at him, "can't you just heal your wounds?"

Jay pressed his lips, raising his hand to touch his pained neck, but Pepper slapped his hand down again, "I can...but then someone will start wondering how I healed it, and then you know...everything starts with one lie, and it all spiral downs. I don't like lying or keeping secrets."

"Good thing that Helen is coming over in the High-velocity jet," Tony smiled, "she'd be here in an hour. But you know that video isn't to keep him inside for long. His lawyers would be able to get him out by evening."

"Ah, don't worry about that. The inside woman wasn't the only one who was working with me."

AIM, Headquarter,

Primo was kneeling beside Aldrich Killian, standing up, looking at Maya, "all right, it's all done."

"What did you do?"

"Just made him...more truthful..."

"Like a truth serum?"

"Well...no...more like...yup, a truth serum," Primo gave up, nodding, standing in front of Maya, who was leaning against the table.

He put his hands on the table beside her, kissing her lips, "what's wrong? Why are you so upset?"

Maya pulled away, putting her head on his shoulder, "I am...I should be paying for these crimes as well."

Primo stroked her waist, whispering, "I have Extremis 2.0. You can become near-immortal with that. If you want, then you can take it and go to jail. If there is something that I can tell you, then it's that regrets and guilt make immortality hell."

Maya rolled her eyes, "you are seriously telling me to turn myself in after you went through all the trouble of making deals, so I don't get dragged down?"

Primo raised her chin, stroking her jawline, looking into her eyes, "if you went to jail just because you had to? You might feel be more vindictive than remorseful. But if you...well...turned yourself in, that's something else entirely."

Maya closed her eyes, hanging onto him, "I don't know...jail scares me...and I don't want to stay away from you."

She hugged him tightly, "mmmmphhhh...Primo...mm-mm-ph-mmmm."

Primo kissed her head, "it's ok...you have all the time in the world. How about this? Let's start with injecting you with Extremis 2.0? You'll be able to think more clearly once you feel the effects."

Maya raised her head up, watching him with a soft smile, "is it lonely? Immortality?"

"Yes, Yes it is." He said when he raised his eyebrow, "but there are times when something interesting happens. So, that part is fun?"

LA, Stark Industries,

Jay looked towards the door that was forced open. And a woman with scarlet energy surrounding her palm walked in.

Tony had just stood up to talk to her, but her palm twitched. His body got pushed back down, his mouth became shut tight.

Wanda walked over to Jay, sitting down beside him, "you got hurt. What happened? You could have taken care of someone like that without even blinking."

Pepper worriedly glanced towards Tony but looking at him squirm, trying to move or talk, made her laugh. She put her curled finger in front of her mouth, looking away, "sorry, who are you?"

Jay held her hand, chuckling while he looked at Tony, "yeah, she's Wanda Maximoff, the Dictator-"

"Leader, General," Wanda corrected him.

"Right, that of Sokovia."

Tony narrowed his eyes as Uru Bloodedge armor appeared around his body. He got free of Wanda's magic, but before he could say or do anything. Jay interlocked his fingers with Wanda's, looking at Tony, "and my girlfriend."

Tony's armor disappeared, while Pepper gasped, even though she felt that was the case, "your girlfriend?"

Tony's armor disappeared as he sat down with a surprised expression, "Oh, what happened to-" He was about to say when he stopped, wondering if he should talk about Natasha.

Jay shrugged, "she dumped me."

Wanda raised her hand, with crimson energy covering her hands, putting them on his neck, "well, she had reasons. Like you not telling her that the child she thought she killed was alive and well. Or the organization that tried to brainwashed her, and she tried destroying was still there. And the sleeping behind her back, there is a list to what you did wrong."

Pepper covered her face, "you are worse than Tony, and here I thought no one could be worse than Tony."

Jay curled his lips, glancing towards Tony, who had an impressed look on his face, "she is also my best friend since we were kids. So, she basically knows everything about me. Almost everything."

Wanda narrowed her eyes, "I am sure I know everything about you."

"No, you don't know know what I don't know about me," Jay smugly looked at her.

Wanda softly kissed his lips, touching his now healed neck, "No, pretty sure I know that as well."

Jay put his hand on hers, softly smiling, "I...doubt it."

"Not to interrupt you, but how are you fine with her healing you? And not heal yourself?" Tony confusedly blinked.

Wanda smiled, "I bet I know why. Almost anyone that keeps an eye out on supernatural things knows that I have powers. And the ones that know he is a wi- I mean sorcerer, can be counted on one hand."

Jay shrugged, "what she said."
