"She's just Jane to pretty much everyone. You're safe on that one."
Tony winked at her as he held up his wrist. JARVIS immediately cast out a blue light to sweep over Skye's body from the top of her head down to her feet and back up again before casting a blue schematic replica of her at her side. He cocked his head to the side as he studied the numbers running through JARVIS's bioanalysis of her. She was something else. Not Extremis, but damn impressive all the same. He raised his free hand to tap the front of the holographic simulation of her, sliding it away as if it were every day he peeled off the top layer of a person's body for an exam in a garage.
Her musculature seemed human, but her energy readings were off the charts. She had enough blood pumping through her veins to where she should have been in some state of cardiac arrest. Hypervolemia was a truly strange diagnosis. What caused that? Not for the first time, Tony wished Bruce were around. Jane must have really enjoyed talking to this one with her curiosity for anything different. Tony wasn't sure how much he could get from a basic scan and imprint. He might have to inject her with a nanite to see what he could get from an inside view. Testing his imprint, Tony tried to pull away another layer of Skye's holographic self, surprised when it worked.
"Woah," he shook his head, whistling, "I don't get to see that every day. You're something else, aren't you? I'd swear someone engineered you, but I've seen engineering in action. You aren't that. This is too random, haphazard, shoddy really. You have to be some kind of mutation. Do you know what caused it? Birth defect? Gamma radiation exposure? I know a guy with that problem. Very hard to miss."
He lowered his arm from scanning her. The holographic version was self-sustaining. He wouldn't need to continuously scan her to keep it going. Tony had JARVIS running tests while he was talking to her to see how she responded. She mostly seemed young. Painfully young. Eager, too. Tony was starting to bet more heavily on science experiment gone wrong the longer he considered Skye. The lucky part about that was if she was just someone else's mistake? Tony could potentially correct it instead of simply masking its aftermath. If she was born as she stood before him? Well, he'd have to go for the whole "inhibitor" plan which still seemed far-fetched to him.
