Tyra, Daughter Of Odin

56

"Uh, where to start... um... The Aether, firstly is not a stone... someone called it a stone before. Um, it's more of an angry sludge sort of a thing so someones going to need to amend and stop saying that. Here's an interesting story though about the Aether. My and Tyras grandfather many years ago had to buse the stone from the Dark Eleves. Ooo, scary being! So, Jane actually...oh there she is! Yeah so Jane was an old flame of mine. You know she stuck her hand inside a rock this one time and the Aether stuck itself inside her and she became very, very sick... and so I had to take her to Asgard, which is where me and Tyra are from and we had to try and fix her! We were dating at the time you see and I got to introduce her to my mother... who's dead and, um... oh, you know, Jane and I aren't even dating anymore so... yes, these things happen though, you know? Nothing lasts forever, the only thing that-"

"-why don't you come and sit down?" Tony interrupted Thors off trail story

"I'm not done yet" Thor answered
"The only thing that is permanent in life is impermanence" Thor laughed to himself

"Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?" Tony offered

"No, I'd like a bloody mary" Thor said

"Ty" Steve said as she then stood up

"Basically. The Aether is the containment state of the Reality Infinity Stone. Me and Thor had our encounter in the year of the convergence of the nine realms... it is a powerful stone that can alter a person's reality in many ways through visual, sound and some other senses... it would be the best place to get it on Asgard because finding it through the usage of the alignment back then is super unreliable" Tyra explained as she showed the picture before sitting down again

"Wait, hang on... reality?" Scott asked

"Do I really have to teach this from the beginning?" Tyra asked, getting an enthusiastic nod from Scott. She rolled her eyes a bit before she placed her hands down on the table, using her magic to show a visual of what she was saying
"At the creation of the universe, six stones where formed in a way to basically control the existence... they work together for a a huge amount of energy and can do a lot of good but a lot of harm if in the wrong hands. These six stones are Reality, Time, Space, Mind, Power and Soul... all different but also alike in some senses and all they weren't suppose to ever exist in one place at the same time, so the people spread them across the universe in order to have an attempt to prevent such an event but it never stuck" Tyra explained as she then ended the little show for Scott

"How come you know so much?"

"I can basically control them, sense them and all sorts... well all except 2 but if I push through the pain I could do it" Tyra explained

"So, if it works and we get the stones... I assume we are letting Tyra do it?" Scott asked

"We can figure that out later" Tony answered

"What other stones do you know about the best?" Steve asked her

"Well, I know Nebual and Rocket have encounters or at least a decent amount of knowledge on the Power and Soul stone so they can explain those... I can explain the space, time and mind as well" Tyra answered

"Suppose we better get started with our Tyra lectures... I'll order some food in an hour" Tony said as they sat down around the table

"Okay so, the time stone. This is the green one, but was kept in the hands of Earths sorcerers for years in end inside the device they created to obtain the powers of a Infinity stone for safety, the eye of Agamotto. The two keepers I know of are the woman named the Ancient One and another which was Doctor Stephen Strange... they used it in order to control and manipulate time. It is super handy on earth for their way of reversing spells, damage and much more in order to fool the humans who aren't awake during the time change to know there was ever a battle or issue that occurred. I don't know exactly when Stephen gained the stone from the Anceint One but all we do know, it was kept at the New York sanction for countless years" Tyra explained

"Sorcerers?" Scott questioned

"Wizards, like the fun kind who would make balloon animals at a party" Tony answered

"That's not what he is Tony" Tyra laughed a little
"Right so any questions?" Tyra asked

"I'm so lost" Scott stated

"Its hard to understand it when  you haven't had an encounter with it" Tyra told him

"What about the space stone?" Steve asked her

"Right, a famous thing we have all encountered... the Tesseract. It was apart of Asgards vault for years but then we sent it to earth where it was kept safely stored away from humans until a man decided to raid the safe house for it. Then Captain America was famously born and faced of ths Red Skull, dropping the Tesseract in the ocean... after Howard had it, it was passed around SHIELD for years when it was funded, prior was the SSR. When Loki came to earth after somehow mind controlling Eric, we all were assembled to stop the Tesseract from opening the space hole and yeah all of that stuff... after it was safely stored in Asgard until Asgard was destroyed and then we brought it with us... only for Thanos to get it in order to bargain for Thors life" Tyra explained

"How guarded is the vault on Asgard?" Nat asked

"Very, very heavily guarded... it is not like Earth as to you can jump a few walls, cut cameras and that... our vault is protected under my and Odins powers as for sight as well as Hiemdall but we have the best metal warrior in the galaxy there. You wouldn't get inside" Tyra answered

"So New York is the best place to get it then" Nat nodded

"Yeah" Tyra agreed

"Alright, let's take a little break before we continue. What are we thinking, Chinese take-out?" Tony asked

"Sounds good to me" Scott nodded

"I'll go order then, anything in particular?"

"You should know our orders by now Tony" Tyra laughed as she sat next to Nat

"Sister, you should make some of those famous cocktails you made on Asgard" Thor suddenly stated

"Thor, I don't have anything even close to our measurements and I honestly don't think you should drink it"

"You are one to be a hypocrite... you use to what, shut off everyone when you went through things and when I ask for my own coping I get told 'no' by you, even when I stood by you?" Thor blurted out

"Thor!" Nat yelled at him

"He's drunk he didn't mean it, Ty" Steve told her

"No, he has a point. I'm not gonna sit here and watch you down bottle after bottle. It has been 5 years Thor, you need to move on! Loki is dead, mother is dead, father is dead! Half our people are dead! It hurts but you need to move on because you are hurting yourself more as you keep drinking it away!" Tyra yelled at him as she stood up
"I moved myself away from people because I don't like who I am when I grief from loosing those I love. I-I... I am a hypocrite because I want people to be better than me and I want to be there for them, so sorry I am not helping you drink it away right now" She said, shaking her head before she walked out the room. She made it into the hallway and slid down the wall, taking a shaken breath before she saw Thor walk out and sit down next to her

"I'm sorry, Tyra... I haven't been the best brother to you, I know that... I haven't been an uncle for the twins either and I'm sorry. I know you went through a lot with finding out about your old In-Law family... I don't want you worrying this much about me" Thor told her

"Do me a favour then? Try get through it with me... the proper way... I haven't got over Lokis death at all and it hurts the most because I keep seeing him in the past" Tyra said, cleaning her tears

"I promise, sister" Thor said as they hugged
