We all gather in a room with some hologram displays, showcasing each of the six Infinity Stones, sitting around a table. Tony, Steve and Bruce are pacing at the front, clearly leading the planning of the mission. I sit beside Nat, Im looking at my cellphone because Carlos was asking where his baseball glove was at. I sent a quick text before Nat lightly elbowed me to pay attention.

"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." Steve announces

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

"My thoughts exactly" Tony points at me and agrees

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

"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." Bruce tells us

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

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

"Correct." Tony said as he clicked on the screens and up appears the stones and files on what we know about them.

"Let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?" Steve asks as we all turn towards Thor when we don't hear a word from him.

We see Thor sitting on a chair with his sunglasses on. It is impossible to tell whether he is awake or asleep.

" Is he asleep?" Nat asked

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

With my powers I give Thor a little shock with  electricity when I do he wakes up.

"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... someones 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..." He wiggles his fingers to imitate a spooky ghost "Whoooo, scary beings. So Jane," An image of Jane Foster pops up on the screen "Oh, there she is. That's Jane... She's... an old flame of mine... 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," Thor starts to look broken, and seems on the verge of tears. "and oh you know, Jane and I aren't even dating anymore, these things happen though you know, nothing last forever," Tony starts to push him back to his chair. "I'm not done yet, the only thing permanent in life is impermanence."

"Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?" Tony sarcastically asks

" I'd like a Bloody Mary, thank you." Thor happily says

Cut to the Avengers sitting around a table, eating a meal a few hours later, and Rocket is pacing on the table in front of everyone.

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

"Is that a person?" Scott looks up from his food

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

"A planet? Like in outer space?" Scott looks up with wide eyes

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