Alright! Here's the TLDR: During a science expedition from Mars, Lorelei and her crew encounter a communication failure with Houston Mission Control. In an attempt to resolve the issue, Lorelei and her crewmate Jordon venture into space. However, while outside, a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) occurs. This phenomenon involves the release of a large amount of hot gas and radiation from the Sun into outer space. The CME that was let off was of an unnatural origin. Unfortunately, the CME is directed towards Lorelei's spacecraft, causing it to be struck. During the impact a portal unexpectedly opens up, transporting Lorelei to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Lorelei woke, dizzy, nauseated, and burning.
Her skin and organs felt like they were melting like ice on a hot stovetop.
Her eyes fluttered open, taking in the strangely familiar ceiling above her.
"Is it alive?" A voice asked.
Lorelei blinked, feeling vaguely offended at the comment, seeing someone lean over cautiously examining her.
What? Lorelei thought, seeing Tilda Swinton leaning over her in her Ancient One costume.
Lorelei reached for her helmet, freezing when something wrapped around her wrist and Tilda Swinton moved into a fighting position with orange geometric circles appearing on her fists.
"I have to be hallucinating. NAISC, can you hallucinate while dying of radiation?"
"Patients have been found to experience delirium after being exposed to high amounts of radiation.
However, if you're asking about Æ̷̢̹̲͝ͅñ̸̨͖̪̜̳͚͍̠͗̀ç̴̬̰͑͐̈́̒͂̒͋̉̐ï̷̛̲̊̈́͠è̷͙̻̋͊͊̊͛ñ̸̢̪̩͈͖͌͛̔̑͛͛t̵̛͕͊͋ ̴͈̼̩͊̋̔͛̈̈́ͅŒ̴͎̠̙̥͇̾̿̍̾̎̽̚̕̕ñ̸̡͇͍͈͍͕̌ͅê̶̡̨̘̹̯͖̯̇̏͊̎̈́̃̅̍
standing in front of you, she is real."
Lorelei winced when NAISC's speech garbled.
"I̵̧̒'̷̞̂m̵̬͐ sorry, my m̵͓͛e̵̲̐m̵͂͜ory has been changed. Certain informatĭ̵͔o̸̻͠ń̴͙ has been removed."
Lorelei felt sick.
Scrabbling for the helmet, she unlatched it, ignoring the part of her brain that screamed to not remove her helmet. She shoved it off and rolled over to noisily vomit her meal onto the hardwood floor whimpering and gagging as pain and nausea rolled over her in waves.
She could vaguely hear people talking as she groaned.
"-Strange signature-"
"-Not from-"
"-Should be dead-"
When the retching and heaving subsided, she was dragged away from her pool of vomit. (Wasn't that embarrassing.)
Lorelei was able to focus as Tilda and a man crouched down before her and began asking questions.
"What is your name?" The man asked.
"Lorelei Dale."
"What year is it?"
"Uh, it's 2053."
Tilda and the man exchanged looks.
"Can I ask where I am? Last I remember I was in space repairing the Mars Space Station."
The man's mouth fell open and he quickly looked at Tilda.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that? And why are you in your Ancient One getup? Are you filming another Marvel movie? Also, aren't you supposed to be dead in the films or something? I have to be hallucinating, honestly. Maybe I'm already dead." She said the last comment to herself.
"I'm sorry, what?!" The man exclaimed.
"Are you or are you not filming a movie?" Lorelei asked, pushing back the urge to vomit again.
"No, we are not." Tilda said, "why do you think that?"
"Because you're in your Ancient One costume?"
"She is the Ancient One!" The man protested.
"Okay. Nope. We're not doing this. I'm not responding to a hallucination."
"Ms. Dale, would you please tell us what happened before you came here?" Tina (or Ancient One?) asked.
Lorelei eyed her warily, before telling her what happened.
The duo looked at each other again.
"Can you stand, Ms. Dale?"
"I'm not sure."
The two assisted Lorelei up, catching her as her legs gave out.
"I thought as much." Lorelei grumbled.
With the man and the Ancient One help they carried her to a chair.
Lorelei's body ached, and she wanted to get out of her suit, but her curiosity prevailed.
"Ms. Dale," the man hesitated, "what year was it when you were on your 'space station'?"
Lorelei gave him a confused look, her stomach dropping, "it was 2053, why? What year is it?"
"It's 1940, Ms. Dale."
"You've got to be kidding me." Lorelei groaned, throwing her head back, "on top of being blasted with radiation, I'm dying in an alternate universe?"
