"...Ohh wow! Yeah!" Tony exclaims as the light of the arc reactor blinds those in the room.

Since every part of his body is enhanced, Peter could still see and was surprised to witness the black veins on Tony's chest recede and disappear. It was like the new reactor was affecting his body and cleaning the toxicity from his blood in some way.

Peter didn't understand how it could actually do that though, and he wasn't sure anyone else in the room did either, including Tony himself.

Once the light dimmed and they all could see, Tony stood there breathing heavily with a layer of sweat on his body. He looked far healthier than before. His skin was clearer and had a pinkish hue to it instead of the pale whiteness that it was before. The effects of Palladium poisoning seemed to just disappear in mere moments.

He almost looked a few years younger as well.

'I need to study Badassium. It could help with both the Super Soldier Serum and the Resurrection Elixir.' Peter thought as he observed the shocking result.

"Tony..." Banner asks as he makes it to Tony's side. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah... I think so." Tony replies as he checks over his body.

"Good..." Banner sighs in relief as he smacks Tony upside the head. "You idiot! You could have gotten yourself killed. Look what happened to me and learn from my mistakes! Always double, triple, quadruple, and quintuple-check before doing anything! Especially when you're dealing with something like a new element!"

While Banner was yelling and lecturing Tony for his idiotic behavior, Peter walked over to Tony's computer and started looking into Badassium.

It didn't take long for the others to notice his actions.

"What are you doing, Spidey?" Tony asks as everyone turns to see Peter scrolling through the PC.

"I'm looking at the structure of your new power source..." Peter says as his eyes are glued to the screen.

"Why?" Banner asks as they all walk over.

"Because if you haven't noticed, Tony is completely healed. Even the poisoning in his blood is gone. Test his toxicity levels and you'll see." Peter says and Tony grabs a device with a needle attached to it, poking his finger with it.

[Toxicity: 0%]

"Sh*t, he's right..." Tony mutters as he shows the test to everyone else.

"The new element somehow healed and purged the poison from your body..." Peter says as he turns to Tony. "Did any liquid or something exit your body?"

"No..." Tony says as he feels around and checks himself over.

"Then It wasn't purged but destroyed in some way..." Peter says, getting everyone else interested in the mystery as well.

"That's amazing..." Banner says as he thinks this could help solve his Hulk problem.

"This could be a cure for cancer." Beast comments from the side and he was right.

This could be a way to cure a lot of diseases. If the element could destroy poison and heal Tony's body, then it could possibly destroy other bodily afflictions as well.

"Yup, we need to do some testing, but cancer isn't the only disease this could cure." Peter says as he turns to Tony. "It could also help our little side project as well."

Of course, Peter was referring to the Super Soldier Serum. He just didn't want Beast and Banner to know about it just yet.

"We should run some tests on Tony to make sure he's alright before jumping into this." Peter says as he forcibly detaches himself from the computer. "Those tests can also help us understand the effects of the new element. Whatever you want to call it."

With that, everyone jumped to work and started running diagnostics and tests to make sure Tony was okay. During this time, Tony had nothing to do as they worked so he came up with a name for the element.

"...Badassium..."

Of course, many didn't agree with such a joke of a name for something so important, but Tony's father was the founder of all of this, so they couldn't force Tony to change his mind.

After the tests were finished, they found that Tony's body was completely healthy, almost too healthy. Tony is a big drinker and smokes on occasion, not to mention the drugs he's taken during his partying years, so seeing such a healthy liver and lungs was crazy.

His body is in perfect condition.

To further test this, they had Tony drink heavily and found that the damage to his liver was healed in an instant. The arc reactor would radiate its energy through his body and slowly heal any damage.

Thankfully for him, this didn't speed up his liver, so he could still get drunk all he wanted. Tony just doesn't have to worry about the ramifications anymore, which wasn't good for Tony who was already a big drinker.

'I'll have to watch and make sure he doesn't start overly drinking...' Peter thought as he didn't want his friend to become an addict.

They also found out that Tony's body heals faster than before. It's not anywhere near as fast as Peter or someone like Deadpool that could heal at crazy rates, but he could heal about 3 times faster than the average human.

Nothing that can be called super but certainly a good improvement.

-A week later-

The Avengers were invited to the annual Grand Prix in Monaco. No one wanted to go but Tony as he already planned on attending for the fun of it.

Though, Peter knew that this would be when Vanko attacked Tony. Both from the movie and the Hand members that were currently tracking his every movement.

Ivan Vanko doesn't empty his bladder without Peter knowing about it after all.

Seeing that this would happen, Peter took the opportunity to accept the invite and form a team that would accompany them.

Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Sabertooth, and Storm would be the team. Mystique was a possibility but her power is better used for espionage, which wasn't needed in this situation.

Speaking of Mystique.

-Flashback-

After the Senate Armed Services Committee meeting, Peter called Mystique for a mission. It would be her first mission as an Avenger.

Waiting in one of the many meeting rooms in Avenger Tower, Peter sat with a Manila folder in hand. Only a minute later, a beautiful blue woman came strutting into the room naked.

At first, Mystique wasn't comfortable showing her true form in the Tower, as she's used to constantly hiding. The only person that saw her real form constantly was Magneto, but thankfully she's gotten more comfortable in the Tower.

"Do you need something?" She asked as she waltzed in and looked at Peter questioningly.

"Yes, you have your first mission. Congrats." Peter says as he slides the file across the table.

"Hammer?" Mystique says as she opens the file and skims through it.

"Yep, his involvement with Tony's hearing was odd. I want you in his circle. Assistant, bodyguard, whatever. Just get close and inform me of his every move." Peter explains.

"I can get that done..." She says as she closes the folder.

"Good, if you need more information, feel free to ask Jarvis. He can get you information on the people you need to switch out with." Peter says as he stands up to leave the room. "Just remember no killing or hurting the people you switch with."

"I know..." Mystique rolls her eyes as she and Sabertooth have to deal with warnings like this all the time. "I'll send them on a vacation like the last guy."

She understands the warnings when it comes to Sabertooth though, as he is far more wild and bloodthirsty than she could ever be.

"Good, thanks for the help. Let me know if you need anything."

"I should have brought my suit..." Tony says as they pull up to the hotel they would be staying at in Monaco in a limo.

"Oh relax." Peter says from beside him. "There's five super-powered Avengers here with you. You don't need your suit for this trip. Just enjoy yourself."

Tony was having a bit of a panic attack without his suit in arms reach. Peter specifically dragged him here without the suit on purpose. He had to literally drag him kicking and screaming.

Let's just say that there was a fight and Tony didn't win.

"..." Tony was like a man that borrowed from the mafia and lost it all, twitching and looking over his shoulder at every possible moment.

"Tony, relax." Peter says soothingly. "Look, I understand you feel unsafe, but that's all in your head. You need to get over this. Look around you."

Gesturing across the limo, Tony could see Sabertooth, Wolverine, Storm, and Nightcrawler. Sabertooth and Wolverine were glaring at one another but that's a problem for later.

"Including myself, we have enough power in this car to take over a country. Breathe and ask yourself 'Am I really in danger?'" Peter says as he pats Tony on the shoulder. "You're smart enough to know this."
