There we go. There was the moment Steve had been trying to get to, as Tony talked over him and freaked out. Now Tony was actually paying attention.
He gave Tony his best serious look, holding those dark eyes with his own, and a supersoldier-strong hand around Tony's bicep.
"Tony, we've been kidnapped by powerful alien beings, and are being held in a pocket universe. While you're here, time isn't passing back home, so there's nothing you can do to help Pepper at the moment. I've been here for nearly four months, but for me, what you're going through with the Mandarin was a while back. I can tell you that Pepper is fine, and you will survive it and stop the Mandarin."
He released Tony's arm and sighed. "Bruce is here, and so is Bucky Barnes. And Jane Foster - Thor's girlfriend. And Loki, but he's different. But the rest of the people here are from other parallel Earths, or other alien worlds we've never heard of."
He knew this was a lot to take in, so he stopped there, giving Tony a chance to catch up.
