Are you sure about that? I've kinda gotten the impression they're all-knowing and all-seeing. If there's any chance I'd get myself or anyone else in trouble I'd rather just focus my efforts somewhere else. Between the time that Thor first came to Earth and when he came to me in London, I was working with SHIELD trying to recreate the way the Bifrost works. I even created a machine that could partially recreate the bridge, but I could never get it to work fully. My first idea was, if I could get it to work here, I might be able to get all of us back home where we belong.

[There's a pause as his words sink in. Mere projections and not reality? That's beyond disappointing.]

Well, if that's true, and they're not real... that changes my plans considerably.
