Steve just eyed Tony dubiously; well it sure seemed like he wasn't all that worried about it. Tony claiming to be a genius was...something else, but Steve wasn't going to analyze it too closely. Even though he looked like he couldn't be that much older than Steve...well, he just had to take it at face value for now, because he literally didn't think he could compute any more revelations today. Or ever, possibly. "You might be right, but I don't have to like it."
"Thanks," Steve sighed as Tony lit the cigarette, rubbing a hand over his eyes. "Look, shit, sorry. I'm sorry. You're trying to help me, I'm just - I'm wiggin', dude."
"The dogs. We call them Demodogs it's - the kids named it." He rubbed a hand over the back of his neck, watching Tony try to parse it out. Maybe it was the same thing, and he just had a different name for it? Fin Fang Foom? Steve has to wonder whose name is weirder, honestly. "No, it's not like, uh, a person? They're these creatures and their faces open - and they have more teeth than you've ever seen in your life."
"And they came from a place like this, I guess - like a parallel world? We call it the Upside Down." Steve dropped his voice out of habit; it was ingrained into him, after signing so many NDA's his eyesight had blurred (or maybe that was the concussion?).
"What's a Nintendo?" Steve asked, which effectively answered that question with a negatory, Captain. "So - like - this is the only place that exists? And you're from the future?"
"Is this for real?" Steve muttered to himself, because seriously, what the fuck. Just when he thought life couldn't get any more bizarre, it inevitably found a way.
