I got the same schtik. Same room, too, probably, or one just like it. It sounds like a bad joke, to me, but my phone isn't getting service in this place, and my phone always has service. I can't even reach JARVIS, it's like he isn't... here.

Someone has a pretty poor taste in jokes if it is. Those things certainly act real.

[He frowns, crossing to the window and leans against the wall at an angle that lets him see outside.]

This phone works. [He reaches into a pocket on his belt and pulls out the device.] It doesn't make sense that yours wouldn't.

[Steve is calling on his very limited knowledge of how phones work here. He has absolutely no idea about JARVIS though. He knows Tony talks to him and that he's not a real person.] Isn't he... an app on your phone?

They said that our home - [He gesticulates with his hands just like he always used to back home, clearly thinking out loud.] - Stark Industries, the Avengers, our Earth and Asgard and whatever else was created entirely from... someone's mind. But that this place is... real. But I don't believe pamphlets. Or women on phones - and no no, not that phone, I have one of those too and it works fine. My phone.

[He pulls out his Starkphone and the new one, which looked completely different. Tony's was, obviously, way more sophisticated and thin. And awesome. And had JARVIS.]

...you know what apps are? Anyway, no, he wasn't just an app. I made him. He runs my house. all of my houses, and my suits and... he was an Artificial Intelligence. Not that it matters, because he isn't here.

[Steve watches Tony, silent for a few long moments. There had been plenty of times he hadn't believed the world he'd woken up in was real. That waking up from the ice had just been some horrible dream and he'd wake up at any moment. He'd be on time for his date with Peggy and have a life that didn't include aliens or norse legends.]

If we're just someone's creation, we wouldn't be able to exist in the real world. People don't just come off the pages of a book and decide they don't want to be fake anymore. I don't care what anyone says. We're real. Our home is real.

[He frowns at the phones; Steve could care less how sophisticated Tony's looked. They both made calls.]

I don't use them but I know the general idea. Would anything keep him from being on your phone?
