"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 said as a list of the Infinity Stones showed up on the screens. Cecelia was staring at it from her seat next to Natasha.

The plan was time travel. They would travel back in time, get Infinity Stones, bring them back, snap there fingers, bring everyone else back. It was harder than it sounded.

"Or replace the word "encounter" for "damn near been killed" by one of the six Infinity Stones." Tony corrected Steve, slightly joking.

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

"Regardless, we only have enough Pym Particled for one round-trip each. And these stones have been in a lot of different places throughout history." Bruce said, pacing around the room.

"Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in, yeah?" Tony asked, also beginning to pace around.

"Which means we have to pick our targets." Clint said. Natasha had just shown up with him one day ago. He'd time traveled, and brought something back. So that meant, they could bring the infinity stones back.

"Correct." Tony said, slightly pointing at him with his coffee in his hand.

"So, let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?" Steve asked, turning everyone's attention to Thor. He was in the corner of the room, looking to be asleep.

Cecelia didn't recognize him. Last time she saw Thor, he was a fit man with a short haircut who carried a large axe, he also had a lot of lightening. Now, Thor is a man with a very big beer belly, a long hair, and a long beard that wasn't well kept.

"Is he asleep?" Natasha asked, seeing his comfortable position. He wore sunglasses on his face, and he held a can in his hand.

"No, no. I'm pretty sure he's dead." Rhodey joked, Cecelia slightly smirked before sighing.

So, Steve woke him up, and Thor walked to the front of the room. Showing a red stone called "The Reality Stone"

"Um, where to start. The Aether, firstly, is not a stone. Someone called it a stone before. Um, it's more of an angry sludge sort of a thing...so someone's gonna need to amend that and stop staying that." Thor said, everyone stared at him in complete and utter confusion. They didn't know what the hell he was talking about. "Here's an interesting story, though, about the Aether. My grandfather many years ago...had to hide the stone from the Dark Elves." Thor said before imitating what a Dark Elf was like. He chuckled at his own joke before continuing. "Scary beings. 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, 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 said, his face immediately dropped at the mention. Much like Cecelia when Bucky was brought up.

Thor sighed before continuing. He got teary eyed, and very upset. "Who's dead and, um Jane and I aren't even dating anymore, so...Yes, these things happen though, you know. Nothing lasts forever. The only thing that-" Thor said, Tony walked up to him, grabbing his arm. He needed him to sit down. His story was sad, but they didn't have time for that.

"Why don't you come sit down?" Tony asked him, Thor lightly pushed him away.

"I'm not done yet. The only thing that is permanent in life is impermanence." Thor laughed, Tony clapped his hands before putting his hand on Thor's shoulder.

"Awesome. Eggs? Breakfast?" Tony asked him, trying to cheer him up.

"No. I'd like a Bloody Mary."

The next stone was the power stone, it was a purple stone. "Quill said he stole the Power Stone from Morag." Rocket explained to them as he walked on the table. They'd gotten chinese food.

Cecelia was eating noddles as they had this very, very long meeting that was testing her patience. She was sitting there all day long.

"Is that a person?" Bruce asked him, not knowing what Morag was. Nobody knew what Morag was.

"No, Morag's a planet. Quill was a person." Rocket told him, Cecelia wasn't surprised about the whole planets thing. It was almost like old news. Not many things could surprise her when she spoke to Raccoons from Outer space.

"Like a planet? Like in outer space?" Scott asked as he fed himself his noodles.

"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 said, Cecelia laughed a bit before looking at Natasha.

"он похож на щенка" (he looks like a puppy) Cecelia joked, making Natasha smirk.

"Помните, когда Старк думал, что он медвежонок?" (Remember when Stark thought he was a build-a-bear?) Natasha asked her, making her chuckle. Rocket looked over at the pair.

"Hey, Russian ladies, pay attention!" He exclaimed, the two let out a small chuckle before looking down in sync.

One day went by, and the next Stone being studied was the Soul Stone. Natasha was taking notes on everything they learned about the stones.

"Thanos found the Soul Stone on Vormir." Nebula said, standing in front of the yellow stone.

"What is Vormir?" Natasha asked as she scribbled stuff down.

"A dominian of death.at the very center of celestial existence." Nebula said, making everyone look up at her. "It's where Thanos murdered my sister." She said, Cecelia pursed her lips as she looked around. Everyone had looked down in the dumps because of that.

"I'm sorry for your loss." Cecelia said, breaking the awkward silence. Steve sighed, shaking his head.

"Not it."
