Tony sighed. "Pepper is here, yes, but....she's not my fiancee." Tony made a face. "It's a long story. And trust me, the world can function without me. Though there is a theory that there are doubles of us back in our home lands running the show so no one misses us. Or that time here passes much more quickly so what's been six months here for me could only be a few minutes back home." He shrugged. "Lots of different theories."
"I think the time difference is most likely. I mean, having witnessed the existence of alternate universes and all that." Clint nodded.
