Determining the Time and Place for Stones
Steve
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.
Stark
Well, I'd substitute the word "encounter" for "damn well near been killed by" one of the six Infinity Stones.
Scott
I haven't, I don't even know what the hell you're all talking about.
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.
Stark
Our history. So, not a lot of convenient spots to just drop in.
Clint
Which means we have to pick our targets.
Stark
Correct.
Steve
Let's start with the Aether. Thor, what do you know?
Natasha
Is he asleep?
[Thor is sitting on a chair with his sunglasses on]
Rhodey
No. I'm pretty sure he's dead.
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…someone's gonna need to amend that. Here's an interesting story though, many years ago…my ] had to hide the stones from the ], wooooh, scary beings. So ]… Oh, there she is. That's Jane. She's– an old flame of mine. She– she stuck her hand inside a rock ]– 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. We were dating at the time, you see. I got to introduce her to my ]…who's dead… …and, oh, you know, Jane and I aren't even dating anymore, these things happen though you know, nothing last forever… I'm not done yet, the only thing permanent in life is impermanence.

Excuse me?
Natasha
He's kidding. You can't say things like that.
Banner
It was a bad joke.
Natasha
You were kidding, right?
Banner
I have no idea. We're talking about time travel here. Either it's all a joke, or none of it is. We're good! Get your helmet on, Scott. I'm gonna send you back a week, let you walk around for an hour, then bring you back in 10 seconds. Makes sense?
[whispering to Romanoff; loudly and gives Scott a thumbs up]
Scott
Perfectly not confusing.
Steve
Good luck, Scott. You got this.
Scott
You're right. I do, Captain America!

Reflections on Choices and Life After War
Sam Wilson
Cap?
Steve
Hi, Sam.
Sam
So did something go wrong, or did something go right?
Steve
Well, after I put the stones back, I thought, maybe I'll try some of that life Tony was telling me to get.
Sam
How did that work out for you?
Steve
It was beautiful.
Sam
I'm happy for you. Truly.
Steve
Thank you.
Sam
Only thing bumming me out is the fact I have to live in a world without Captain America.
Steve
Oh. That reminds me… Try it on. How does it feel?

Time Travel Ethics in the Avengers Universe
Banner
Clint, now you're gonna feel a little discombobulated from the chronoshift, don't worry about that--
James Rhodes
Wait, wait, wait a second. Let me ask you something. If we can do this, you know…go back in time, why don't we just find baby Thanos, you know, and…
[makes a gesture of strangling a baby with a rope, complete with "choking sound"]
Banner
First of all, that's horrible...
[disgusted]
Rhodes
It's Thanos.
Banner
...and secondly, time doesn't work that way. Changing the past doesn't change the future!
Scott
Look, we go back, we get the stones before Thanos gets them? Thanos doesn't have the stones. Problem solved!
Clint Barton
Bingo.
Nebula
That's not how it works.
Barton

Banner
I don't know why everyone believes that, but that isn't true. Think about it. If you travel to the past, that past becomes your future. And your former present becomes the past, which can't now be changed by your new future!
Nebula
Exactly.

A Cautionary Encounter with Time Travel
The Ancient One
I'd be careful going that way. We just had the floors waxed.
Bruce Banner
I'm looking for Doctor Strange.
The Ancient One
You're about...five years too early. Stephen Strange is currently performing surgery about twenty blocks that way. What do you want from him?
Bruce Banner
That, actually. (He points towards the Eye of Agamotto)
The Ancient One
Ah! I'm afraid not.
Bruce Banner
Sorry, but I wasn't asking.
The Ancient One
You don't want to do this.

The Consequences of Time Manipulation
The Ancient One
I'm sorry, I can't help you, Bruce. If I give up the Time Stone to help your Reality, I'm dooming my own.
Bruce Banner
With all due respect, I'm not sure the science really supports that.
The Ancient One
The Infinity Stones create what you experience as the flow of time. Remove one stone and that flow splits. Now, this may benefit your reality, but my new one… not so much. In this new branched Reality, without our chief weapon against the forces of darkness, our world will be overrun. Millions will suffer. So tell me Doctor, can your science prevent all that?
[conjures a long ray, denoting the flow of time with the Infinity Stones circling around it; pulls out one of the Stones, which causes a black stream indicating a point of divergence to appear]
Banner
No, but we can erase it. Because once we are done with the stones, we can return each one to its own timeline at the moment it was taken. So, chronologically, in that reality, they never left.
The Ancient One
But you are leaving out the most important part. In order to return the stones, you have to survive.
Banner
We will. I will. I promise.
The Ancient One
I can't risk this Reality on a promise. It is the duty of the Sorcerer Supreme to protect the Time Stone.
Banner
Then, why the hell did Strange give it away?
The Ancient One
What did you say?
[Surprised]
Banner
Strange, ].
[[Avengers: Infinity War|he gave it away. He gave it to Thanos]
The Ancient One
Willingly?
Banner
Yes.
The Ancient One
Why?
Banner
I have no idea. Maybe he made a mistake.
The Ancient One
Or I did. Strange is meant to be the best of us.
[Reunites Banner's spirit with his body]
Banner
So he must have done it for a reason.
The Ancient One
I fear you might be right.
[Gives Bruce the Time Stone]
Banner
Thank you.
The Ancient One
I'm counting on you, Bruce. We all are.

Discussion on Thanos and the Infinity Stones
Iron Man
What's he been doing?
Thor
Absolutely nothing.
Captain America
Where are the stones?
Iron Man
Somewhere under all this. All I know is he doesn't have them.
Captain America
So we keep it that way.
Thor
You know it's a trap, right?
Iron Man
Yeah. And I don't much care.
Thor
Good. Just as long as we are all in agreement... Let's kill him properly this time.
[Summons Mjølnir and Stormbreaker]
Thanos
You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me. I thought by eliminating half of life, the other half would thrive. But you've shown me that's impossible. And as long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. They will resist.
Iron Man
Yep, we're all kinds of stubborn.
Thanos
I'm thankful. Because now, I know what I must do. I will shred this universe down to its last atom - and then, with the stones you've collected for me, create a new one. Teeming with life, that knows not what it has lost, but only what it has been given. A grateful universe.
[Thor starts up Stormbreaker and Mjolnir]
Captain America
Born out of blood.
Thanos
They'll never know it. Because you won't be alive to tell them.
