Or are we talking another version of this, where Christine goes digging through through the dirt and finds the facts don't match up? Should she confront Tony at the end? How far is she going to get now that SHIELD is covering Tony's ass? Will they let her publish?

That, that, that one. ::pointing vigorously:: Not only is it a damn good excuse to see more Christine, about whom-- since she has no close relationships with the main folks in the story-- precious few stories have been written (and of those, even fewer are not of the sexist "catfight" type), but it's also a fine, fine way to see one of my favorite things: the concequences for all that cover-up, and/or how it worked. So much handwaving happened in the movie that anything cleaning it up a bit is AWESOME.

Cookies! For serious. I bake a mean chocolate chip.
