"Okay, so the "how" works. 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." Steve told the whole team. Everyone around the table, listening.
"Well, I'd subtitute the word 'encounter' for 'damn near been killed by one of the six Infinity Stones.'" My dad also said.
"I haven't. I don't even know what the hell you're all talking about." Scott pointed out.
"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." I said as I tapped my pen on the table.
"Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in."
"Which means we have to pick our targets."
"Correct. So. Let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?" We all turned to Thor. He was in the corner of the room. He didn't even move, I couldn't even tell if he was even breathing.
"Is he asleep?" Scott said.
"Is he dead?" Rhodey asked.
"Well, he isnt dead for starters." I told him as i peeked out the side of the door with some ice cream.

"Where to start? Umm... The Aether, first, is not a stone." Thor wobbled to the screen. Still drunk and it isnt even happy hour. "Someone's called it a stone before. Ahem... It's more of a..." he tried to gather his thoughts. "an angry sludge, sort of thing. So... Someone's gonna need to amend that, and stop saying that. Here's an interesting story, though. About the Aether. My grandafther, many years ago, had to hide the stone from the Dark Elves. Scary beings." He mocked a scream and laughed at the end. "So Jane... Oh, there she is." He smirked as Jane showed up on the screen. "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." Like if we didnt even know. "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 umm.... Oh, you know. Jane and I aren't even dating anymore, so... These things happen though, you know. Nothing lasts forever. The only thing that..." I felt bad for him. Jesus. He lost his mother, his father, his friend, Loki. So much burden. I can see why he like this after the snap happened.
"Why don't you come sit down." My dad said as he pulled Thor away.
"I'm not done yet." Thor gently pushed my dad away. And continued. "The only thing that is permanent in life, is impermanence." We all where just shocked. Nat and I get exchanged looks. My dad then grabbed him and made his way to the table.
"Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?" He asked.
"No. I'd like a Bloody Mary." Thor chuckles. He took Thor to the kitchen and it was Rockets turn.
