It had been quite uncomfortable at first.] Well, no. I mean, yes there are multiple Tonys, but only one here. Our Tony in fact. But there are two Starks here. [And he pauses for a moment, taking another drink of water before continuing.] Howard Stark is here. Except it's Howard from back in the 1940's. Shortly after I went missing.

[That causes him to chuckle. A lot of things would have been a lot easier if the Chitauri had had a weakness like that.] Reality is never quite as clean cut as fiction.
