Pepper gets used to using Extremis for mundane things.
Keeping her coffee at the perfect temperature. Making the bed toasty warm in case Tony slides in. Being able to wear that gorgeous Armani coat that’s not *quite* warm enough to protect against the New York winters.
She will never get used to using it in other ways.
The screams stay. The kidnapping was fast and violent and she had to defend herself but oh God the screams and all of a sudden she’s on her hands and knees in a puddle of vomit.
She understands now why Tony doesn’t sleep.
