A Love That Lasts Forever | Steve Rogers x OC (1)

54

While everyone is gathering at the Compound, Kiara and Tony are already busy with building the time machine.

'Tony, this is incredible!' Kiara exclaims.

'Thank you, Tremors. So, who is this Robbie anyways?'

'He's a friend. He took care of me when no one else did. He saved my life. We can trust him if that's what you're wondering about.'

'You can never be too sure.'

Then a big man comes walking into the Compound and Kiara walks towards him. 'Can I help you!' Kiara shouts, still not seeing the man propperly.

'Kie! It's me! Thor!' The man shouts.

'Thor?!' Kiara asks in disbelieve as she starts to walk to them and looks at Rocket and Bruce with a questioned look.

'Don't ask. Just don't ask.' Rocket says.

'All right. I won't.'

Then Kiara walks to Clint. 'Well, Thor is here.' Kiara says, still a little shocked.

'Is eveything all right with him?'

'Well, you ask me.' She says as she points at Thor.

Clint jaw drops. 'Is that Thor?!' Clint asks in disbelieve. 'How-'

'Rocket said not to ask. I have no idea what happend to him.'

'You're drifting left.' Tony says to Thor. 'One side there, Lebowski.'

'I have no words.' Clint says.

'Me neither.'

'Ratchet, how's it going?'

'It's Rocket. Take it easy. Your only a genius on Earth, pal.'

After a number of tests and sending Kie back into the past. They know that it works. Now they just have to know where the stone's are in time.

'Okay, so the how works.' Clint says. 'Now, we gotta figure out the when and the where.'

'Almost everyone in this room has had an encounter with at least one of the six Infinity Stones.' Kiara says.

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

'Well, I haven't. . . but I don't even know what the hell you're all talking about.' Scott says.

'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 says.

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

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

'Correct.'

'So, let's start with the Aether.' Kiara says. 'Thor, what do you know?'

Everyone looks at Thor but he isn't responding.

'Is he asleep?' Robbie asks.

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

After much time, Thor is standing in front of the group, ready to explain everything he knows about the stone.

'Uh, where to start? Um. . . The Aether, firstly, is not a stone. Someone called it a stone before.' Thor explains as he points to Kiara who gives him a confused look. 'Um, it's more of an angry sludge of a thing. . . so someone's gonna need to amend that and stop saying that.'

Robbie and Kiara give eachother a look as do Clint and Rhodey while Thor continues his vague story.

'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 beings.'

'What the hell is he doing?' Robbie whispers.

'I have no idea.' Kiara whispers back.

'So, Jane, actually. . .' A picture of Jane appears on the screen. '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, which is where I'm 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. . .' Thor stops talking as sighs sadly. 'Who's dead and, um. . . Oh, you know, Jane and I aren't even dating anymore, so. . .'

Bruce gives Tony the kill sign, as does Kiara.

'Yes, these things happen, though. You know? Nothing lasts forvever. The only thing that. . .'

'Why don't you come sit down?' Tony asks as he walks to Thor and puts his hand on Thor's shoulder.

'I'm not done yet. The only thing that is permanent in life is impermanence.' Thor laughs.

This time Clint and Kiara give eachother a look.

'Awesome.' Tony says as he claps. 'Eggs? Breakfast?'

'No. I'd like a Bloody Mary.' Thor says with a smile.

After the first lesson about one of the six stones, the team decided to get some food first before they begin with the next stone. As soon as the food came, the team sits down at the table again. Now they're eating while Rocket explains where the Power Stone came from.

'Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag.' Rocket says.

'Is that a person?' Bruce asks.

'No, Morag's a planet.' Rocket answers. 'Quill was a person.'

'Like a planet? Like 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.'

After rocket explained more of the Power Stone, it's Nebula's turn to explain about the Soul Stone while Kiara, James, Clint, Bruce and Scott are listening to.

'Thanos found the Soul Stone on Vormir.' Nebula says.

'What is Vormir?' Kiara asks.

'A dominion of death. . . at the very center of celestial existence. It's where Thanos murdered my sister.'

The room fell into a akward quietness.

'Not it.' Scott says.

'What do you say, Robbie? Wanna go to Vormir with me?' Kiara asks.

'Sure. Sounds like fun.' Robbie says as he sighs.

While the rest of the team took a break from the stones, Kiara, Tony and Bruce are now trying to find out where the Time Stone is.

'That Time Stone guy.' Kiara begins.

'Doctor Strange.' Bruce corrects.

'Yeah, what kind of doctor was he?' Kiara asks.

'Ear-nose-throat meets rabbit-from-hat.' Tony says.

'Nice place in the Village, though.' Bruce says.

'Yeah, Sullivan Street?' Tony says.

'Mm. . . Bleecker Street.' Bruce corrects.

'Wait, he lived in New York?' Kiara asks.

'No, he lived in Toronto, Tremors.'

'Uh, yeah, on Bleecker and Sullivan street.' Bruce says.

'Have you been listening to anything, honey?'

'Tony, Bruce. If you pick the right year, there are three Stones in New York.'

Tony and Bruce both look at Kiara.

'Shut the front door.' Bruce says.

'Tremors, your a genius.' Tony says.

Kiara smirks.

'I know.'

Now the team is making themselves ready to retrieve the stones from the past in the hope of restoring everything that Thanos broke five years ago.

'All right. We have a plan.' Clint says. 'Six stones, three teams, one shot.'

'Let's bring everyone home.' Kiara says.
