"okay, so the 'how' works." Steve say. We gathered in the office with notepads and files scattered on the table. Images of all six stones are hologrammed around us.

"Now, we gotta figure out the when and the where." I say, standing in front of everyone with Tony, Bruce and Steve.

"Almost everyone in the room has had an encounter with at least one of the six Infinity Stones." Steve says.

"Or substitute the word 'encounter' with 'experimented on' or 'damn near been killed' by one of the six Infinity Stones." Tony says.

"And sometimes, all of the above." I say.

"Well, I haven't." Scott says from his seat at the table. "But I don't even know what the hell you're all talking about."

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

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

"Which means we have to pick out targets." I say.

"Correct." Tony points at me.

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

We all look at him in the corner of the room. He's wearing sunglasses and his long greasy hair is twisted into dreadlocks. He sits in the chair silently with a beer in his hand.

"Is he asleep?" Nat asks.

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

Suddenly they all look at me. I sigh and roll my eyes. "I got it." I mumble.

I walk behind his chair and put my hands on either side of his head. My hands glows with a red aura and it seeps into his temples.

He inhaled sharply and jumps out of his chair. "Here. Yes, I'm here." He says and I walk back to where I was standing.

The screen shows an up close image of the Aether with analytics around it.

"Uh, where to start? Um..." He takes his sunglasses off and squints at us.

"The Aether." He taps the screen. "Firstly, it's not a stone. Someone called it a stone before." He gestures at Steve who stands next to me looking very confused.

"Um, it's more of an angry sludge sort of thing. So someone's gonna need to amend that." He says as he tips his head back and squeezes eye drops into his eyes. "And stop saying that." He gulps.

"Here's an interesting story, though, about the Aether. My grandfather, many years ago, had to hide the stone from the dark elves." He says. "Ooh, scary beings." He chuckles.
