There was a moment after Bruce spoke where Val simply looked towards Bruce with a wondering look. Of course, she wasn't going to keep it to herself. "Is that what happens to the Big Guy? And you by extension?"
It sounded like a hard life to live if you didn't have a spaceship and a whole galaxy, but Val could still relate to what Bruce had been living like before. "But now people know you and count on you and you can't just drop off the map again." She reasoned. "I hear you're buddies with the Stark man, you could lean on that friendship. Or we could find you a place at the present Asgardian delegation on Earth. And you could do science again maybe?"
