[A slow smile spread over Steve's face as Peter got excited and started jabbering at him, and he relaxed a little. He'd missed the kid. He'd also guessed right about where in time Peter fell. Sort of anyway. It sounded like maybe he was from closer to when Tony left home, but that was alright. If Peter had seen . . . that, he'd be glad to see his mentor again. Alive and mostly alright. Somewhat. Not that Steve had all the details. He was still years behind Thanos and the eventual defeat.

Same here. I'm from a lot farther back than you are though. I left Earth and ended up on an alien island for a while before I woke up here, and I think it really messed with how time flows everywhere else. Somehow everyone I meet from home is from what, for me, is the future. But that's a different conversation. Right now I'm trying to answer your questions about the here and now. And don't be shy, just ask what you need to know.
