"You just said so many random things that kind of sound like words? But they're not. Not ones I know, anyway." He's not gonna front - internet? Netflix? Spotify? Why does everything sound like it's something out of Science Fiction Theatre? "But yeah, sure. What about like, reading books?"
He does that, occasionally. Not like Nancy and Dustin, but he could get into a good book now and again (especially when he was high).
"But you just said - " Tony, are you trying to get Steve to lay down on the ground and never get up? Super soldiers and government experimentation makes his head swim, but Steve's with Tony on that one - after seeing everything at the Hawkins lab? He couldn't imagine volunteering to be their lab rat. Not that Steve's version of the government ever deigned to ask nicely. He's also not sure which war, but his mind just fills in the Cold War - which, to be fair, was still happening from Steve's perspective. It still took him a second to catch up, thinking through everything Tony had just said. "So...wait, how did he get frozen in ice by accident? That's like - holy shit, that's insane."
Steve has to bite back a curse when Tony reveals the number - okay, worse than he was expecting. Definitely worse. There's no way he can be here for that long, and leave the kids? To fend for themselves? But he's definitely no expert at navigating parallel worlds - he wouldn't even know where to begin. "Well shit."
