[ He tips his head in a nod, eyebrows arched. ] Yes... fair enough. That does seem like something out of the norm.
[ But basically, she is right. Normal is relative to everyone. Bruce's notion of normalcy, for instance, is very much different from literally everyone else around him - his condition alone is enough reason for that. Pepper's examples do leave Bruce feeling curious, though. Had those things really happened recently? Tony had only told him so much, and mostly of the more recent events, with which Bruce had been directly involved.
He saves questions for another time. Because she's the new arrival here, and naturally she has concerns more pressing than his curiosity. ]
You go straight to the toughest questions. [ Not that it surprises him. In fact, those are exactly the questions he was expecting her to ask. ] No, we can't go home. Supposedly the ship's taking us all back, but... I'm not sure I believe that. Especially with the way Steve left and came back, just like that. I can't tell you much about the rest, though. I figure the captains have access to some pretty advanced technology, and that's how they brought us here. As for the why? They might've needed people to keep the ship running. Although snatching people from multiple other universes seems like an unnecessary effort. [ Even with dubious intentions, they could probably get some people to join the crew willingly without going to such lengths. ]
