Thor and Rocket were teleported to Asgard in 2013. They snuck their way into the palace through the basement where the dungeun was.

"Wait," Thor whispered, "I have an idea."

"What is it?" Rocket demanded, "We're here to get the aether and get out, nothing more, nothing less!"

They walked passed the countless cells in the basement and Thor found Loki's. He was laying on his bed, twirling a cup in his hand, bored out of his mind. "Loki!" Thor shouted as he banged onto the wall.

Startled, Loki yelped and nearly fell off of the bed. "Thor?" he asked.

"Yeah, it's me!" Thor said excitedly, "You're here!"

Rocket demanded, "What are you doing?!"

Thor walked around to the side and explained, "Loki I can get you out of there but you have to help me and then go right back in there when we're done so the space time continum doesn't get messed up for this universe, yeah? Okay?" He hit a button so that the walls came down.

"He didn't say yes!" Rocket said hastily, "Wait!"

Thor tried to grab Loki to hug him tight but he ran out of the cell and away from him. "Don't touch me!" Loki said, "You smell ghastly. What happened to you, Thor? It's only been one year since I've been in here." He looked down and saw Rocket. "Why are you with a talking midgardian garbage eating animal?"

"What did you just call me?" Rocket demanded.

"Don't pay any attention to him," Thor said, "Loki, I'm from the future! Isn't that amazing?" He outstretched his arms.

Loki said, "Keep your arms down! What are you talking about?"

"Listen to me, brother," Thor said, trying to keep himself together, "Thanos wins. He comes back! He collects all of the infinity stones and then he snaps his fingers and half of all life is gone! Poof!"

Loki stared at him in horror and whispered, "No."

"Yes!" Thor shouted.

"How far in the future are you from?" Loki asked.

Rocket warned, "Don't answer that."

"10 years from now," Thor replied, "It's bad Loki. I need you. The aether inside of Jane right now is the reality stone. If we suck it out of her now and use it in 2023 we can bring everyone back and then we'll bring it right back here so it'll still be a problem in this timeline. Are you in?"

Rocket asked, "Do you know what you're doing, Thor?"

Loki asked, "Does Thanos really win?"

"Yes," Thor said sadly, "he really wins."

"What do you need me to do?" Loki asked.
