[ Steve can't help but smile at Nero's remark about Thor. That doesn't surprise him at all, given how strange it must have been for Thor to arrive here and have no one even recognize his name, let alone his title.

And, on a more melancholy note, for someone like Thor who'd had so much stripped from him already, to lose even his divinity... Well, it's probably better not to dwell on it. ]

I guess my point is, they can run the gamut. Any god who's demanding sacrifice isn't one that people should be listening to, but maybe some of them can be reasoned with. [ It's hard to know when their interactions with the gods have been so limited so far. Steve shrugs; given that he's in the Cities, he has little in the way of a direct line to any of this. ] What's maybe more worrisome than the gods themselves is what lengths people will go in service to them.

[ Also true back home. ]
