Yeah, no, that stuff isn't secret. We've had...superheroes, don't like that word, since 2008. Or since World War Two if you count Captain America. The Chitauri, though, that was...that was closer to home.
Yeah, well. The extradimensional horrors would've been enough by themselves. There's another dimension, neighboring one. Some people I kind of would have known from home were here from it, and it sounded like theirs was...more.
[He doesn't know. He'd been cloistered away from the real world during his training, and when he'd returned to New York the first thing he'd done was to fess up to Christine about exactly where he'd been and what he'd been doing.

I'm not so great at keeping quiet about it. Not here, especially.

[Okay, hang on.]
So aliens invaded New York and Thor's been on the news. That doesn't sound very secretive at all.

It's too bad it doesn't work. I'd love to learn about your arts, see it in action. That would be fascinating.

I'm sure I'll find a way to pass the time somehow. Don't worry about me.

[There's real warmth in his voice. It's nice to imagine one day getting back to where and who he's meant to be.]

I should probably let you go back to your day. But hey, uh, if you ever feel like telling me more about that stuff, give me a call.
