[ His answer should be no. Maybe this looks like the Bruce he knows. Maybe he knows details about the whole Avenger thing that Tony’s experienced. But it doesn’t mean that they’re from the same world. If there are endless possibilities, an infinite number of iterations of an individual and the life they could lead, then it stands to reason that some of those variations would be extraordinarily similar.
Bruce and Pepper had missed him, he’d been told and he knows that they’re going to keep missing him. The man that they lost. Their Tony Stark. Because he’s obviously not the same one and to pretend otherwise is just going to hurt them in the long run.
He takes the light, careless sounding approach. It’s easier that way. ]
You’re there, aren’t you? The company?
[ Bruce said that his name’s on the door, but it’s not his company. It’s, well, it sounds like it belongs to Pepper and Bruce now. Not even some alternate dimension counterpart. ]
It’s probably better I don’t. Might get confusing. I ran it once, my Stark Industries, and those people were confused practically every day. And that was before anything weird happened. I can only imagine how it must be now.
