Steve Rogers: 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.

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

Scott Lang: I haven't, I don't even know what the hell you're all talking about

Bruce Banner: 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.

Tony Stark: Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in.

Clint Barton: Which means we have to pick our targets.

Tony Stark: Correct.

Steve Rogers: Let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?

We see Thor sitting on a chair with his sunglasses on. It is impossible to tell whether he is awake or asleep. y/n pokes him and gets no reaction.

Natasha Romanoff: Is he asleep?

Rhodes: No, no. I'm pretty sure he's dead.

y/n slaps Thor harshly across the face and he wakes up. Nebula bites her lip.

Thor: 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.

Steve cocks his head back in confusion. y/n chuckles and pats Steve's shoulder somewhat patronising manner. 

Thor: 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.

Thor: Wooooh, scary beings. So Jane- 

An image of Jane Foster pops up on the screen.

Thor: 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. 

Steve makes a mildly disgusted face.

Thor: 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.

Thor: 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.

Thor: I'm not done yet, the only thing permanent in life is impermanence.

Tony Stark: Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?

Thor: No, I'd like a Bloody Mary, thank you.

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

Rocket: Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag.

Scott Lang: Is that a person?

Rocket: Morag's a planet.

y/n: Quill was a person.

Scott Lang: A planet? Like in outer space?

Rocket: 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 get you to space.
