[That why is exactly what Pepper would like to know, thank you very much. But at the moment, Loki's goals seem to fall in line with hers: play decoy, let Benjamin Link get to the computers, and get off this blasted planet before things get worse. She doesn't want to press too much in case Loki changes his mind--plus, there are plenty of other questions she's got when he scoffs at her titles.
Like why hadn't that name rang any bells?]
I don't think there's anyone in the world who wouldn't recognize you. [He'd led an alien invasion, after all, confirming the existence of extraterrestrial life as he attacked one of the most prominent cities on Earth. But he doesn't react to Stark's name, and Asgardian prince or not, Tony isn't the sort of person anyone just forgets.
Unless they've never known him. Pepper's eyes widen as the question enters her mind: could Loki be from a point in time even further back than herself, or Bruce?]
The Avengers. Have you heard of them? [Have they beaten you is what she really wants to ask, but outing herself as affiliated with his enemies hadn't been her brightest idea. Far worse to establish them as that when it looks like they've got an advantage. She'll have to tell Tony right away, along with Bruce and Steve.]
