Ned moved towards a seat in the cafe, and he nibbled on his muffin as Tony spoke to him, nodding along when Tony mentioned the barrier. Though Ned still felt the undercurrent of excitement about the whole ordeal, his mind had something logical to focus on, and his voice dropped to a more serious level.
“Well, When I helped…” Ned paused there, and sort of looked around the cafe to see if anyone was listening to them, “Spider-man with checking out the arms dealers who were using alien tech… they had this big pink alien battery that went explosive if it was knocked around too much.” Though of course, Tony probably knew all sorts of things about that tech, but he ignored that part. “I was just thinking that like… something that big would have to at least one.. Like power supply or something. Maybe more-- but i mean, that is assuming it isn’t some weird magic thing. I kinda want to go look at it. If it does have a power supply, is it stable? Because the one ….spiderman brought me accidentally almost blew up the Washington Monument with all of our Decathlon team in it.”
