Back In Time

At the Avenger's compound.

Time travel was working. Okay, so all we need is a plan. 

We were looking at the holograms of the six Infinity Stones. 

Steve "Okay, so the "how" works. Now we gotta figure out the when and the where. Almost all of us has had an encounter with at least one of the six Infinity Stones."

Tony "Well I'd substitute the word encounter for damn well near been killed by one of the six Infinity Stones."

Scott "I haven't, I don't even know what the hell you're all talking about"

Bruce "Regardless, we only have enough Pym Particles for one round trip each, and these stones have been in a lot of different places throughout history."

Tony " Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in."

Clint "Which means we have to pick our targets."

Tony nodded " Correct."

Steve "Let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?"

No respond. 

We looked over to Thor. 

Thor was sitting on a chair with his sunglasses on, not moving. 

Nat "Is he asleep?"

Rhodey "No, I'm pretty sure he's dead."

I opened a can of beer and Thor jumped up. 

Thor "i am awake"

then he snatched the beer from my hand and looked at the hologram "Where to start? Umm... The Aether, first, is not a stone, someone called it a stone before. It's more of a... an angry sludge thing, so... someone's gonna need to amend that. Here's an interesting story though, many years ago... My grandfather had to hide the stones from the Dark Elves... Wooooh, scary beings. So Hayley,  Oh, there she is.  She... she stuck her hand inside a rock this one time... and then the Aether stuck itself inside her... And, she became very, very sick. So I had to take her to Asgard, which is where I'm from. And we had to try and fix her. We were dating at the time, you see. I got to introduce her to my Mother... who's dead,  and oh you know, these things happen though you know, nothing last forever, "

Tony pushed him to sit down.

Thor "I'm not done yet, the only thing permanent in life is impermanence."

Tony nodded " Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?"

Thor shook his head " I'd like a Bloody Mary, thank you."

We were all eating breakfast. 

Rocket "Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag."

Scott " Is that a person?"

Rocket " Morag's a planet. Quill was a person."

Scott "A planet? Like in outer space?"

Rocket "Oh, look. It's like a little puppy, all happy and everything. Do you wanna go to space? You wanna go to space, puppy? I'll get you to space."

I smiled.

Nebula "Thanos found the Soul Stone on Vormir."

Nat "What is Vormir?"

Nebula "A dominion of death, at the very center of Celestial existence. It's where... Thanos murdered my sister."
