[Question: Why did Thor come to Earth and bring astrophysicist Jane Foster back to Asgard?]
[A. Jane Foster was infected with an unknown substance, and Thor brought her back to Asgard for treatment.]
[B. Jane Foster was possessed by the Aether, and Thor brought her back to Asgard for protection.]
[C. The Nine Realms converged, and Jane Foster stepped into the critical point between Earth and Asgard, so Thor brought her back to save her life.]
[D. Jane Foster picked up Mjolnir and was summoned by Odin.]

Soon, a new question appeared.
This question was specifically about Thor.
"Jane Foster?" Tony Stark's eyes immediately lit up. He quickly realized something. "Looks like this person must be that 'Jane', right?"
In the image of "Thor Breaking the Rainbow Bridge", the question system showed everyone that Thor and a woman named "Jane" had a close relationship.
It seemed like they were lovers.
Everyone was very interested in that "Jane," but unfortunately, just using the name "Jane," it was impossible for them to find out who she was.
But now.
A woman named Jane appeared in the question system and was brought back to Asgard by Thor, clearly indicating a close relationship with him.
Everyone could almost immediately determine that this "Jane" was that "Jane."
After all, in the vast Nine Realms, the chances of two people named "Jane" having a special relationship with Thor are slim.
"Your mysterious lover's identity has finally been revealed."
Black Widow couldn't help but glance at Thor, a hint of teasing on her face. "She's also from Earth, Thor. Are you going to see her after the quiz?"
"Don't be ridiculous! I am a god of Asgard, the son of Odin. How could I possibly fall for a human woman!"
Thor immediately declared with a proud look.
However, he felt his words were a bit inappropriate, considering everyone around them were from Earth.
So, he added an explanation, "I mean, we're not from the same planet, and I'm not even considering such things right now."
"Thor, you were still thinking about 'Jane' when you destroyed the Bifrost, and Loki threatened you by saying that if you destroyed the Bifrost, you wouldn't be able to see Jane."
"Even if you aren't lovers, it's clear your relationship is beyond the ordinary, reaching a certain level of intimacy."
Captain America said to Thor with a serious expression, "We need to clarify this, as it might affect the following questions."
Thor didn't say much. He nodded, "Fine! 'Intimate relationship', I have no problem with that term!"
Then everyone turned their gaze to the big screen, staring at the multiple-choice options, thinking and analyzing.
However, they didn't know much about Asgard, and the options in the question didn't involve much of the clues or intelligence they already had.
They were still completely in the dark, with no leads.
"This question is really impossible to start with." Hawkeye Barton shrugged and shook his head.
The others agreed.
"Thor, what do you think about this question? Are there any options we can eliminate or confirm?" Captain America pondered for a moment, also at a loss.
He then turned his gaze towards Thor, asking seriously.
"Actually, there is one. I think we can eliminate option C," Thor nodded.
Everyone followed Thor's words, focusing their gazes on option C, equally bewildered and confused.
The Nine Realms converge? What was that supposed to mean?
"Although I'm a scientific genius, I haven't really delved into astronomy much. 'The Nine Realms' converging? Those nine realms should be the Nine Realms, right?"
Tony Stark glanced at Thor beside him and asked.
"Correct, the Nine Realms are the Nine Realms! The universe experiences this kind of cycle every five thousand years. During each cycle, the Nine Realms align in a straight line, and their boundaries become very blurred, allowing them to cross each other."
"Whether it's gravity, light, or matter, they will all be squeezed and overlap into another world! Many critical points will appear between the Nine Realms."
"And option C states that Jane Foster entered the critical point between Earth and Asgard."
Under everyone's gaze, Thor explained to everyone.
"Isn't this Schrödinger's cat, right?" Tony Stark said with a look of understanding.
"Cat?" Thor was baffled, "What's that?"
Tony Stark was completely perplexed. Why would this suddenly involve something completely unrelated?
"In other words, Jane Foster in option C is both on Earth and in Asgard, so if she's brought from that critical point to Asgard, it's not considered being brought from Earth to Asgard?"
Dr. Banner accurately understood what Tony Stark meant and explained it in more detail to everyone.
"Makes sense. The question says Thor brought someone from Earth to Asgard." Hawkeye Barton nodded seriously, "So, C can be ruled out."
Thor: "..."
Odin's son's expression stiffened slightly. So, they were already ruling it out?
I haven't even really started yet, and you're already jumping to conclusions?
"That's an interesting theory, but it's not what I was going to say. I want to talk about another, more reasonable and convincing reason."
Thor scratched his nose and continued to speak to everyone.
"Actually, what I want to say is, if Jane Foster really entered that critical point, I wouldn't be able to bring her back to Asgard."
"Because within that critical point, even Heimdall's eyes can't see!"
"And that kind of critical point appears randomly, without any warning. If someone accidentally enters that critical point, they effectively disappear from the Nine Realms."
"Unless she comes out herself, no one can find her."
"But you're right... Option C can indeed be ruled out!"
Tony Stark and Dr. Banner's theories, combined with Thor's, corroborated and supplemented each other. Option C could indeed be excluded without any dispute.
"Thor, besides C, are there any other options that can be ruled out?" Captain America asked, staring at Thor again.
"I think D can also be ruled out," Thor said without hesitation. "That's simply absurd! My Mjolnir is a divine weapon; how could just anyone pick it up?"
Vision and Hela were one thing; those two were certainly not ordinary individuals.
Even the most ordinary Captain America was a super soldier.
But a theoretical physicist?
What was that about?
Does my Mjolnir have no prestige at all?
"Thor, you haven't ruled out D, you just don't want to admit it, right?" Tony Stark ruthlessly exposed Thor's current thoughts. "You have absolutely no idea how to lift Mjolnir!"
Someone who doesn't know how to lift Mjolnir acting as a judge to determine if others can lift it is incredibly unconvincing.
"Odin said only those worthy can lift it, but he never said what that worthiness actually is," Black Widow interjected seriously.
"Even if we knew, we don't know Jane Foster, and we can't determine if she has that qualification," Hawkeye Barton added.
"So, D is out. Let's look at the other options," Captain America declared decisively.
"I have some ideas about option B," Black Widow suddenly said after a moment of thought.
"Thor, didn't you say the Aether had been destroyed?"
"Although it was later confirmed that the Aether still existed, at least we should believe that the Aether was indeed destroyed during the war between your grandfather and the Dark Elves."
"Otherwise, why would Asgard believe it so firmly?"
Everyone agreed with Black Widow's words.
What level of weapon was the Aether?
It could bring darkness to the entire universe.
If a weapon of this level wasn't truly destroyed, how would such news spread throughout Asgard?
Odin's father, Bor, the previous Allfather, wouldn't fail to confirm such an important matter, would he?
That was clearly impossible.
And after confirmation, Asgard still believed the Aether was destroyed, which meant that, at that time, the Aether really was destroyed.
Thor recalled the past and nodded, "Indeed, all of Asgard believed the Aether had been destroyed."
"So, there's a high probability that the Aether was indeed destroyed, but after countless years, it was somehow repaired," Black Widow continued, elaborating on her thoughts.
"That sounds reasonable. So, Natasha, are you saying the Aether was destroyed in Vanaheim, the Dark Elves' home world? And therefore, its repair would also be taking place there?"
Hawkeye Barton keenly picked up on the key point in Black Widow's statement. "So the Aether isn't on Earth?"
Everyone seemed to agree with this assessment. Repairing the Aether's remains on another planet wouldn't be as likely as repairing them on the spot.
"Is it possible that some remnants of the Dark Elves, after the battle, secretly returned to Vanaheim and collected the Aether's remains before escaping to Earth?"
"We all saw that the Dark Elves' ships could become invisible, even Heimdall's eyes couldn't see them!"
"Or maybe something else happened that we don't know about, causing the Aether to appear on Earth?"
Captain America raised a reasonable question.
This was a reasonable question, as no one could be certain whether something similar had ever happened.
Everyone began to carefully consider and analyze Captain America's question.
"Right, we can't rule that out. Let's see what would happen in such a scenario," Tony Stark said, lost in thought, before launching into an explanation as everyone watched.
"First, we need to be clear on one point. If the Aether appeared on Earth, the most likely scenario is that the Dark Elves brought it here. Does anyone disagree?"
Of course, no one disagreed.
The Aether didn't have legs to run around. The most probable way for it to go from one planet to another was for someone to bring it.
And who would do that?
Based on this situational analysis, the most "likely suspect" would be the Dark Elves.
Tony Stark highlighted a key point: if the Aether was on Earth, then the Dark Elves were likely on Earth as well.
Of course, nothing is absolute, and this discussion focused on the most probable scenario.
"In other words, after the great battle of the past, the remnants of the Dark Elves, along with the fragments of the Aether, have been hiding on Earth, secretly growing stronger."
"How strong have they become? I think we've all seen it. They can invade Asgard, breach the royal city, and kill Thor's mother!"
"So the real question lies here!"
"The Dark Elves have amassed such considerable power while hidden on Earth, and the Aether is so crucial to them. So, how did a human astrophysicist come into contact with the Aether?"
Tony Stark finally revealed the core of the issue at this point.
"Even if Jane Foster really came into contact with the Aether for various reasons and became its host, wouldn't the Dark Elves control her immediately?"
"The question says that Thor 'came to' Earth, and at that time, Thor wasn't on Earth!"
"And when Asgard finally discovered the Aether on Earth and sent Thor to bring Jane Foster back, Thor should have been intercepted by the Dark Elves!"
"Frankly, Thor, judging by the military strength the Dark Elves displayed in the image, I don't think you could have taken Jane Foster from Earth."
"Even if you did take Jane Foster, there would have definitely been a fierce battle with the Dark Elves, and Asgard would have been prepared."
"But when your mother saw Malekith, she didn't know who he was, which is a bit unreasonable."
"In summary, based on the premise of the Aether being on Earth, there are many inconsistencies."
"So... I think option B can be eliminated." Tony Stark concluded his analysis and came to this conclusion.
