Pepper pressed her lips together as Betty told what she knew. It wasn't nearly enough to really have any kind of preparation for the news that Pepper was going to deliver, but the truth was she knew Betty had been waiting for word on Dr. Banner as much as Tony had.
The waitress returned with Pepper's drink and she took a long sip, steeling up her nerves. She leaned forward. "We've got Dr. Banner to thank for our new guests," she said slowly. "He asked S.H.I.E.L.D. to let Tony house Loki."
It actually sounded more insane when she said it out loud. "Betty, I don't know all the details, but from what Tony's told me, Bruce and Steve have been trapped somewhere with Loki. They've only recently been able to escape... or were freed, we're not sure. But Dr. Banner - Bruce is back. He's staying on the forty-ninth floor."
