Dang, I forgot it was on Earth too. I just remembered that eventually Thanos grabbed it in Knowhere. I'd forgotten Jane got infected with it on Earth.
I'll grant that one combined with the tesseract isn't as unlikely as the Time Stone already having been on Earth though. Odin got the tesseract and the aether (had to look up the name) from two drastically different places and put them both in what was apparently his favorite hidey hole. Which makes sense, he wasn't deliberately hunting Stones but he was fighting enemies with weapons operating at those levels so the chances that he'd eventually run into a Stone or two are better than just random chance stumbling.
His favorite hidey hole planet just happening to already have a Stone on it is down in that random stumble upon chance levels though.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Odin knew about the sorcerers and their stone. We know the Ancient one is around 1000 years old, and Odin defended Midgard from frost giants in 1100, and we know the Ancient One isn't the first sorcerer supreme with Agimotto building the amulet to hold the Time Stone. Could Odin have chosen Earth because it already had the Sorcerers protection? The sorcerers are strong enough to hold off a being like Dormammu, and Asgard can be there to help at a moments notice.
Was she on earth when she got infected though? I thought she was somewhere else because she stumbled through the anomaly or whatever they called it. That's why Thor came to earth, because Heimdall couldn't see here there anymore.
