Tony's face remained blank as Jayce continued to spout these hypothetical scenario's. A big part of him wanted to deny these things, but for some reason it felt as if there was some truth behind the claims.
Such was the thing when people's whole worldview is questioned. Luckily for Tony, he had only been in the Apocalypse for almost a year now.
Jayce on the other hand had lived through it for almost 11 years by the time he had reached these conclusions. It had taken him far longer to reverse his opinions that had been drilled into him for so long.
Therefore, he could understand the older man's reactions. So instead of forcing him to accept these thoughts, he merely let his words stew, continuing to prepare the meal.

Early chapter for today :)
