Theirs is not a case to challenge his theory. After all, in their universe humanity is just the latest in a horrifically long line of civilizations. This one simply didn't fight alone. Her glowing eyes narrow a little, not in anger but in contemplation.
"Heh. Good question. Sure wasn't a natural disaster. Our true enemy has a will, but I don't know if it's a person the way we think of it. No-one alive knows what it really is. It has armies, worshipers: we've fought those. It has immense power, and we've felt that. But there's little we know for sure about the Darkness itself."
At this stage there's going to be some shock if and when they realize who they're talking to. Blaze leans heavily on first impressions, and she rather likes this guy. He's got a sense of fun, he asks smart questions, he's mindful of signs of trouble in other universes. Trying to reconcile that with a name she knows mainly from Steve Rogers' stories (and admittedly some popular legends back home) is a guarantee of cognitive dissonance, to put it mildly.
She is pretty sure he's an Asgardian though, since Thor's around and she's never met anyone else here who casually references the old tales. Absent a specific name, that buys him some extra goodwill. "Tell me about it. Some battles you're just finding out who's going to get unlucky first. But it helps if you get team-mates with a complementary skillset. Or at least a lot of second chances!"
