“From what I can tell Reed wants to understand, the things he finds uses for are just to help him get even more understanding. It's why most other scientists don't like him. They want to make money or share the information or make use of it. Reed just wants even more understanding.

Johnny was a motor head at best and bright wasn't generally a term used to describe him, Pepper listened as Loki bragged about her kids. And then When Loki pointed out the truth, that Pepper wanted a family with Tony and that he never would accept it, that he couldn't even handle just being with her. Pepper sobbed and hiccuped as the sadness was suddenly overwhelming once more, especially considering that she was the one who had just broken up with Tony.
