[ Tony lets out a long breath, trying to buy himself a second or two of more time. He still hasn't figured out the best way to play this. He doesn't want to lie, obviously, but. How much does someone really want to know about their future? ]

Thanos was looking for the stones. We had one-- well two, actually. Stood to reason he was going to come for us. And he did. His lackeys tried to make off with Strange, you got involved, and you refused to goddamn go home when I told you to.

[ Okay, he might still be a little annoyed about that. ]

So we all ended up in space and it...seemed like a good idea to take the fight to him rather than wait and see if he'd come back.
