"Uh, where to start? Um, the Aether, firstly, it is not a stone. Someone called it a stone before. Um, it's more than an angry sludge sort of a thing so someone's gonna need to amend that and stop saying that." Thor says either drunk or has a really bad hangover
"You guys wanna get some tea and tell him it's whiskey." Carrie says
"Won't work" Rocket says
"Ok then." Carrie says
"Here's an interesting story though, about the Aether. My grandfather many years ago had to hide the stone from the Dark Elves. Ooh. Scary begins. 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 then the Aether stuck itself inside her and she became very, very sick and so I had to take her to Asgard." Thor says
"What the hell is going on in the story." Carrie mumbles.
"Which is where I'm from and we had to try to fix her. We were dating at the time, you see and I got to introduce her to my mother, who's dead and um and you know Jane and I aren't even dating anymore, so yes these things happen, nothing lasts forever. The only thing that-"
"Why don't you come sit down." Tony says, trying to get Thor to sit down.
Carrie's sitting there with a confused face right now.
"I'm not done yet. The only thing that is permanent in life is impermanence." Thor says
"Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?" Tony asks
"No, I'd like a Bloody Mary." Thor says

"Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag." Rocket says.
Carrie's eating sushi so she's just kind of pointing.
"Is that a person?" Bruce asks eating
"No Morag's a planet." Rocket says
"Peter aka Quill is, was a person." Carrie says. The smile fades on her face
"Like a planet? In outer space?" Scott asks
"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 take you to space." Rocket says petting Scott.
Carrie just stands there.

"That Time Stone Guy." Natasha says
"Doctor Strange was his name right?" Carrie asks Tony while she lays on the floor.
"Yeah, what kind of Doctor was he?" Natasha asks
"Ear-nose-throat meets rabbit-from-hat." Tony says
"Where'd he live?" Carrie asks
"Bleecker Street?" Tony says
"Wait, he lived in New York?" Natasha asks
"No, he lived in Toronto." Tony says
"You just said he lived on Bleeker which is in New York, have you been listening?" Carrie says
"Guys. If you pick the right year, there are three stones in New York." Natasha says. Carrie sits up
"Shut the fuck up." Carrie says in amazement

They start walking to the time machine all suited up, ready for the plan. They get on the lift and get ready
"One round trip each. No mistakes, no do overs. Most of us are going somewhere we know. That doesn't mean we should know what to expect. Be careful. Look out for each other. This is the fight of our lives and we're gonna win. Whatever it takes. Good luck" Steve says
"He's pretty good at that." Rocket says to Scott and Carrie
"Right?" Scott and Carrie say. Carrie backs up into the outer circle.
"All right. You heard the man. Stroke those keys, Jolly Green." Tony says. Clint is holding the tiny Milano
"You promise to bring that back in one piece." Rocket says
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I'll do my best." Clint says
"As promises go, that was pretty lame." Rocket says.
"See ya in a minute" Natasha says
All of their helmets come on and they get sucked in. Natasha, Clint, Nebula, Rhodey, and Carrie land in 2014 Morag. Carrie makes the ship bigger and takes the pod out for Nebula, Rhodey, and herself.
"Hey, can we hurry it up?" Clint asks
"Guys, chop-chop. Come on. We're on the clock." Natasha says while they're taking the pod of the ship
"All of that is really helpful." Rhodey says

"Coordinates for Vormir are laid in. All they have to do is not fall out." Nebula says
"Okay, so, uh, we just wait around for this Quill guy to show up and then he leads us to the power stone, is that it?" Rhodey asks
"Let's take cover." Nebula says
"We're not the only ones in 2014 looking for the stones." Carrie says
"Wait a minute. What are you guys talking about right now?" Rhodey asks
"I thought I mentioned it. Peter gets caught but outsmarts all of the people looking for the stone." Carrie says
"Who else is looking for these stones?" Rhodey asks
"My father, my sister, and me." Nebula says
"And you?" Rhodey repeats
"Oh yeah she was an evil son of a bitch until she helped us defeat Ego." Carrie says
"Where are you guys right now?" Rhodey asks
"Nebula's probably on Thanos's ship somewhere and I'm about to crash my ship on Xander." Carrie says

"Come and get your love" Peter sings. Carrie stares
"So, he's an idiot?" Rhodey says
"Well right now-" Carrie says
"Yes." Nebula says
"You're in love with this guy?" Rhodey says
"Well not at this point in time, more like in two days. So yeah." Carrie says. They get up and Rhodey knocks Peter out. Carrie goes in Peter's bag and takes out a lock opener.
"What's that?" Rhodey asks
"The tool of a thief." Nebula says
"I had one of these. They're amazing." Carrie says. They go to the entrance of where the stone is and unlock it. Nebula and Carrie are about to walk in. Rhodey stops them
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is the part where spikes come out with skeletons on the end of them and everything." Rhodey says
"What are you talking about?" Nebula asks
"This is not Indiana Jones." Carrie says
"When you break into a place called The Temple of the Power Stone, there are gonna be a bunch of booby traps." Rhodey says. Carrie walks in
"Okay, all right, go ahead." Rhodey says. Carrie goes right in front of the power stone. She makes the orb come to her. Carrie walks over to Rhodey and Nebula
"Here." Carrie says giving Rhodey the orb
"Let's sync up." Rhodey says. Their suits come on
"Three, two, one." Rhodey says.
They get sucked back into 2023
