Summary
Palladium poisoning is not the issue he thinks. The issues is the pain. The issue is that the normally unnoticed satisfaction of breathing escaped him. The issue is that this may never end.
He has had many excursions skirting death, but he knows something no one left alive does. That no matter what, his heart will just keep beating - even if he does not want it to.
He thinks, "Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?" And of his response, the one he never allowed himself to say, "Everything special about you came from me"
And this is what he knows. Immortality is a curse. And he isn't so much alive as impossible to kill. He should know. His dad tried several times. And from his blood, from his marrow came the serum. And that's a secret he intends to take to the grave.
Just a drabble at this point - but I've read so much BNHA fanfics that this became a brainworm and had to be let out. Similar to how Eri is used to create quirk erasing bullets, Tony's mutant genes inspire Howard to run experiments that create the Super Solider Serum. AU obviously, where Tony and Steve are a lot closer in age.
