I'm pretty sure they're the ones that found him. [The differences are comforting, easy to talk about. Pepper's very glad for all the ways that her world isn't the same as Sue's.] Of course, I don't know for sure. It's all "classified."
[She bends her fingers when she says the word: air-quotes.]
The Avengers I know are Tony and Steve, obviously, along with Bruce Banner, an Asgardian named Thor, and two SHIELD agents: Clint Barton and Natasha Romanov. Or, they were SHIELD agents. I'm not sure how things ended up for them.
[She pauses then, makes a guess at what question might come next.] SHIELD called it the Avengers Initiative, but it got cancelled at first. Then--well. The world needed them. SHIELD had gathered most of them after another Asgardian named Loki stole something from them. It ultimately led to an alien invasion, and the Avengers broke away from SHIELD, and saved the world.
