[Bruce laughs quietly.] Don't apologize, everything is of interest to me. Especially if things like time travel and alternate realities might be involved here. It's a little outside my areas of expertise, but hopefully I can help figure things out.

[It takes Bruce a moment to place the name.] I think...I might know of a Miss Potts, if her first name is Pepper and she works for Tony Stark. He only mentioned her briefly when I accepted his invitation. But if "several of her contemporaries" are here, I probably will recognize some of them.
