Tony Stark woke up feeling rather relaxed. "Those must be some really amazing drugs," he immediately said as his brain started to kick into gear.
That got a giggle from off to his left. Panacea could not believe that he said that and that she actually found it funny. The woman next to her had a smile that you could see in spite of the carnival mask she wore. Her outfit was a far more covering version of a Brazil carnival costume.
"Mr. Stark, my name is Paradisio. I've been your attendant parahuman healer for today. Just so you are aware, what you are feeling is only half the tranquilizer drug. The other part is my power having reset neuropathways in your brain that have been damaged by your traumatizing experiences."
"You messed with my brain? It's my second most important feature!"
"Much less than any drugs would do. In fact, you should feel like a teenager. Well, sans the out of control hormones," the hero from New Orleans said with a chuckle.
"But I like my hormones," Tony shot back with a grin. "So no more PTSD? I know a ton of millionaires back in my home dimension that you could make a killing off of."
"It should alleviate most of the gross effects. I do have a question." Paradisio gave another wide smile. "Actually, we were wondering about the lack of the the Gamma Potentelia in your brain."
"Just a genius, not a Tinker," Tony said while waving it off. "So can I get out of bed? Why am I asking, of course I can get out of bed. I feel fine." He slid his feet out of bed and stood up. "Ooh, cold linoleum floors. Bracing."
"Mr. Stark, I don't think-"
"I'm sure you do think, but I disagree with what you are thinking. Where's my assistant?" he asked Panacea.
"Um, at home? It's only nine o'clock on Sunday," the young healer of New Wave said as she hunched backwards ever so slightly.
He picked up his phone to quickly dial Taylor. Then his expression turned dumbfounded as he started to poke the center of his sternum. "Taylor! Good morning. I seem to have misplaced some things. My armor, my A.I. My very special ARC reactor that used to be in my chest?"
"I left it with JARVIS," she said immediately. "Panacea said it was interfering with your health."
