Right. I’d heard that. [Twenty years instead of two, and can’t predict how the burden Tony’s taken on will change him, because although there has been definite good, Pepper’s all too aware of the dangers he’s faced too. If she’s truly honest with herself, there’s no way to know if Tony will even live that long—how many times has he almost died already?
But she’s not being honest then. Pepper is very deliberately not thinking about what Tony might be like in twenty years, dead or disillusioned or somehow worse.]
You think so? [Pepper’s been told things like that before, that she’s good for Tony--too good for him, by certain people. Still, it’s hard not to wonder just what happened in that other world that kept the relationship she has from occurring there.]
You know, I think we’ve gotten pretty severely off-topic.
