Chapter 4: Mobius M. Mobius
The man in the suit walked a bit ahead of them as they trailed behind
“They offer you a position to work with them?” Loki asked looking ahead with a low voice
“Affirmative. I'm assuming you also?” (Name) asked in a low voice also
“Mmhmm… however, something doesn’t feel right about this place” Loki confessed.
They continued to walk and (Name) too the time to look him up and down and held an amused smile, Loki arched a brow and looked at her
“What’s so funny?”
“Nothing just odd to see you in that. You look so normal, granted a prisoner uniform of sorts. But so normal” she chuckled “I mean you’re a quote on quote “god” so seeing you so ordinary is just odd that’s all”
“Keep amusing yourself darling” he said rolling his eyes at her
“In all fairness miss the whole god like Asgardian attire” she mocked lightly.
Loki gave her a small smile then smirked “won’t change the fact I could kill you right now if it were for this suppressor”
“So you are just an ordinary man, give or take 5,000 years?”
“I am not that old. I’m 1,048” Loki exclaimed, almost offended.
They finally arrived at this large door. Walking in it was a conference room with a large oval table. Loki and (Name) shared a look with one another as the man in the suit asked them to take a seat, the two prisoners sat side by side
“Now let me understand something. Looking through your personal files there’s no mentions of you two ever meeting. However it’s a little tricky with multiple timelines that had recently been created…” spoke the man
“Sorry to interject just now but. What even is your name?” (Name) asked him
“Oh my apologizes Mobius M. Mobius” he introduced himself before getting back to talking “so I want to know the chemistry you both displayed before you capture...it’s unheard of, unforeseeable”
“With all due respect agent M. but when two people are in life or death situations it is natural to try and work together and get out hopefully alive.” (Name) held her expressionless look
“Well say what you like but there was chemistry no doubt.” Mobius shrugged “The idea is that we have you both work for us, (Name) would serve as more of a babysitter for you, Loki. Your reputation is known to be wavering on your alliances, and proved so in your possible futures?”
“I beg your pardon?” Loki asked now engaging in the conversation and a bit offended of the suggestion of him needing a babysitter.
“If you look at this hologram projector this was you up till now, 2012. Captured by the avengers and was to be taken to your location point; for Odin’s judgment back on your home world, Asgard. However, 2018 from 2023… things go downhill from 2018 onward” Mobius spoke with grim in his voice.
Both Loki and (Name) watch Loki’s original future unfold. Loki being sent to life imprisonment, the Almother dying protecting Thor’s girlfriend, Jane. Loki’s first ‘death’ as he takes over Asgard; send Odin onto Midgard in a retirement home. Thor and Loki get Odin, but the Alfather dies. They find out they have a sister, goddess of death, Hela. The day of Ragnarok and the end of Asgard and lastly Loki’s second and final death, by Thanos’ hands-
“The sun will shine on us again, brother-”
“That’s enough!” (Name) slammed her hands on the desk.
Loki stared at her in confusion. Although it was a hard pill to swallow to know he lost so much and despite trying to redeem himself it was short lived. But the death of his mother was the most effective one. Loki for once was silent.
“That’s enough! You claim to hold balance and here you are showing him his ‘true’ future!” she yelled “the repercussions are absolute! Showing his future he will now try to prevent it as soon as you allow him to step foot out!”
“Now agent (Name). Loki’s death is in a way a fixed point. It needs to happen. He is one of the biggest threats of the T.V.A and the multiverse time continuum. As long as Loki ceases to exist in 2018 it does not matter what time, day or location all that matters is that he is dead” Mobius explained calmly
“That’s obscured! Granted Loki is dangerous, but surely he was shown to change his ways. In the end he chose to save his people of Asgard-”
“He gave Thanos the space infinity stone!” Mobius spoke with a raised voice
“To save his people!” (Name) snapped
Loki watched as this Midgardian woman fought for his future self. It shocked him, although aware that in this moment; he was not that person that had redeemed himself. But seeing someone genuinely fight for him brought a sense of warmth that he felt from only his mother.
“So let me get this straight Mr. Mobius. If I take your proposition and conditions, you will have me get rid of other threats to the multiverse timeline, that is too hard to do yourselves. Inevitably after that you’d send me back to my time of 2012, to follow the said script and die of Thanos’ hand...and if I don’t I’d be a wanted man”
Silence (Name) gave Loki an exacerbated look which he returned a look to tell her to trust him. Clenching her jaw tight she sat back down
“More or less...but there is a catch”
“Go on” (Name) hissed out
“Well the end game is that you both kill Thanos… before he collects the stones but we would still have to kill you in 2018”
“Here are you. Your uniforms” Mobius spoke, handing them both a pile of clothing “before you get changed and we take off the restraints we do need to do one little procedure...follow me”
Loki and (Name) walk with Mobius and walk into what looked like a medical bay. The two weren’t sure but they were seated in these chairs and automatic metal restraints came up. The two started to struggle in their seat
“We already said we join this stupid organization” snapped Loki
“Oh we know. But we need to put a space and time GPS bio-implant to make sure to track both of your whereabouts at all time... through time and space” Mobius explained as two people in white walked over to them and started to inject some kind of thing in their forearms.
Once the whole procedure was done the two changed into their uniforms in their separate change rooms while Mobius waited for them outside. When they finished up and in their new uniform; khaki trousers, blue button up and a dark navy tie and black closed shoes. Loki was wearing a T.V.A tan coat while (Name)’s was being tied around her waist as she rolled up her sleeves
“The trousers are hideous” (Name) mumbled out
“Agreed” Loki said quietly, giving a small smile.
She looked at him with a raised brow. She wasn’t sure why he was smiling ‘he’s planning something’ she thought. She looked to Mobius as he started to show them around the compound. (Name) was emotionless as she was lost in thought until she hear Loki’s smooth voice
“You remind me of someone back on Asgard” Loki quietly
“Hopefully not a lover of yours. Wouldn’t want to damage your ego when I turn you down” she said half jokingly
“Oh gods no, she is a very strong warrior” Loki chuckled “and don’t flatter yourself, I would never stoop so low to fall for some Midgardian wench”
“I’ll ignore that last part. I’m surprised honestly, from what Asgard has been described and what has been on your file Asgard seems so medievalesque. So I’m surprised a woman would be allowed to fight. Given the whole prim and proper attitudes” she said rather casually.
Loki stared at her a little baffled by her sudden friendly and casual attitude “It’s not common but is accepted we- people of Asgard tend to overlook gender and focus on your abilities as an individual.”
(Name) took notice of his hesitation and frowned lightly. Their conversation fell for a moment.
“Your file says Asgardian. You were raised as any other Asgardian, jötunn or not you are Asgardian.” (Name) said with a small shrug “but what do I know, I am just a Midgardian”
