(y/n) - your name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I was only trying to help..." I whisper out as I looked at Mobius who was standing before me, trapped in the containment chamber that held my shadow form intact. "I didn't want anyone to die..." Mobius frowns at me, running his fingers through his hair.

"I know (y/n)..." he sighs out, not able to look me in the eye as I was in this demonic form. "I know you meant well but you can't save everyone. It disrupts the timeline."

"So you just let them die? Those people on Lamentis? You expect me to sit back and not do anything when I could use my powers to try to help!? To try and save Loki and Sylvie!? You know I love him Mobius! I would never let him die-"

"-I know!" Mobius yells back in frustration and I flinch back. "I know that you only wanted to save them! I know that you were only doing the right thing cause that's what you do but at the expense of yourself? Look at you, you lost yourself again to your powers (y/n)! You almost died again and I can't have that on my conscience!"

My mind flashes back to Tony when he said the same thing to Peter and me in Homecoming, realising Mobius was scared to lose me. "Mobius-"

"-stop, just stop." I frown as Mobius shakes his head. "I don't even know how to bring you back (y/n)."

"Mobius-"

"-they're planning to prune you." And my world crumbles around me. "I tried to convince them that I could reinstate you as a TVA employee like before but they wouldn't listen. I tried (y/n) but I can't help you this time." I smile at Mobius sadly and he frowns.

"It's ok Mobius." I tear up and his eyes narrow at me.

"How can you say that it's ok!? How can you just accept this!? You're not even going to fight-"

"-no." he freezes as I shake my head. "Not this time. You've risked everything to help me and I can't put you at risk again."

"(y/n) don't-"

"-thank you, for everything. For keeping me alive all these years, for looking after me and keeping me out of trouble with the TVA." Tears spill down my cheeks, knowing this was going to be the end for me.

"No-"

"-just tell Loki I love him but don't tell him what happened to me."

"What do you mean?"

"Tell him that the TVA wiped my memories again and reinforced me as an employee, sending me away somewhere far."

"He's not going to believe me, he is-"

"-the god of mischief and lies, I know." I chuckle lightly. "I don't want him to be sad."

"You care about others way too much sometimes." Mobius sighs, nodding. "I'm really sorry (y/n)."

"I know..." He pauses for a bit before heading out of the dark room I was locked in. "Mobius..." He stops immediately, turning to look at me. "Don't believe everything the TVA is telling you ok. You're all variants, you had a life before this, before TVA took you away from them." He furrows his brows at me. "They lied to you." Mobius shakes his head before leaving and I wilt as the darkness swallows the space around me.

I was slumped against the glass, huddled in a ball as I buried my head in my hands to try and ward off the whispers from the darkness around me. I could hear them try to make me lose control again, the edges of the container crawling with fingers that tried to grab hold of me. I didn't know how long I was in here for but I was glad for a bit of light that appeared when the door opened again.

"Mobius-" I deflate seeing that it wasn't him but the judge lady instead, pursing my lips and waiting for her next move. She presses a button and the wall behind me lowers to reveal a glass window that looked into the cell Loki was in. "What is this?" I narrow my eyes at the lady, turning back to watch as Sif attacked Loki.

"I hope you know you deserve to be alone and you always will be." Sif walks away and the scene changes to when I died in Infinity War. I bristle at the scene, watching as Loki stared with wide eyes as he saw his future self wept while holding my body.

"No..." I hear Loki mumble out, going over to my body but it disappears and the scene restarts. He was being tormented over and over by Sif and my death and I couldn't do anything except watch as he crumbled in despair.

"Stop it. Just stop it." I whisper out, seeing Loki just staring at his hands as he kneeled on the ground. "Please..." I beg the woman.

"Tell me what your plan is. How long have you been working with the female variant?"

"There's no plan, I just wanted to leave with Loki-" the woman presses something on that little remote of hers and I gasp as I get shocked with something so cold that it burned my body. I shriek out, my body freezing over that the shadows became solid enough for cuffs and a collar to snap around my wrists and throat.

"Tell the truth or it will just get worse from here."

"I am telling the truth! I don't care about the TVA! And I just met the female variant-" I scream as my body writhed, an electrical current shocking through my body. 

"What is your plan!?"

"To leave! I don't know what the female variant wants to do-" I howl as my body burns painfully. "I just want to live a normal life with Loki!" I scream out and the shocks turn off as I crumble to the floor.

"Take her." the bitch calls over to the guards that move my chamber out of the room and that's when I see Mobius. His eyes widen as I cried, banging on the glass and begging him to rescue Loki as I got taken away.

"I'll take it from here." I look up to see the guard that brought Loki in from the very beginning take over for bringing me wherever I needed to go, the others nodding before walking off. The guard takes me down a deserted hallway, looking around before freeing me.

"What-"

"-hurry, we don't have a lot of time. They're looking for the both of us now." I float out of the chamber, nodding as she took the cuffs and the collar off.

"What is that bitch planning to do?" I quickly follow the guard to an elevator, my body mystifying again to shadows.

"She will be taking the Loki variants to the Time-Keepers."

"Wait, they're real!?" We get into the elevator as it goes down.

"I don't know." The doors open and she leads me to a door. "Hide in here. Help your boyfriend when they get here."

"The element of surprise. I like it." I rub my hands, nodding to the guard. "Thank you. For helping us." She gives me a short smile before running off and I let my body travel through the gaps of the door like a living fog, a stream of black smoke trickling into the blue room before crawling over the floor. I could see guards and the Time-Keepers stationed, moving behind some stairs to hide behind as the shadows formed my body again.

I hear the doors open again after a few minutes and I peek my head out to see the bitch bring in Loki and Sylvie. "Gracious Time-Keepers, as promised, the Variants."

"What do you have to say for yourselves before you meet your end, Variants?"

"Is that the only reason you brought us here? To kill us? I've lost track of the number of times I've been killed, so go ahead. Do your worst!" Loki yells out and I growl, swallowing up the fog around us and turning it dark as it spreads over the room. The guards all whisper in fear as I grew around them, crawling up their legs as I hover behind the heads of the Time-Keepers.

"Love, if you encourage people to kill you, you will continue to owe me favours if I keep saving you." Loki cheers when he sees me, the bitch yelling at the guards to catch me but the door opens and that friendly guard comes back.

"For all time. Always." She grins at me as she throws Loki and Sylvie their weapons, me taking in a deep breath as I let out an ear-piercing scream that echos around the room. Everyone crumbles to the floor, the frequency of the scream deactivating Loki and Sylvie's collars.

"That's my girl!" Loki grins at me and I blow him a kiss before floating down, controlling the dark fog to form a vortex around us to stop any more guards from coming in. It was just Loki, Sylvie and I with that bitch as I pinned the guards outside the vortex against the walls.

"This is for everything you have done to me. This is for taking me away, for wiping my memories."

"You should be grateful! We brought you back to life!"

"Only to use me as a puppet! You made me kidnap people from their own timelines thinking I was doing the right thing! You made me take their own life away from them just you did to me!" I screamed out, raising my hand to pick up one of the Time-Keepers behind me. I slowly crushed him and that bitch widened her eyes at what I was doing.

"No!" I hear the creaking of metal as I rip the head off with dark fog like vines, looking behind me in surprise to see wires sparking instead of blood. 

The other Time-Keepers shut down as I punch the bitch with a foggy fist that knocks her off her feet. "They were fake this entire time!?" I hover the head in front of me, disassembling it to see motor parts and electrical wiring. 

"(y/n)..." I look up to see Loki smiling at me and I drop the pieces as he holds my cheeks. I was surprised he could touch me and that I could feel him. "You're ok." he breathes out in relief and I sigh out as I lean into his hands. "I thought they... I heard your screams... I couldn't do anything-
 Loki furrows his brows and I close my eyes as he pulls me to his chest. I could feel the dark fog roll back into me, my body slowly forming again as Loki held me. 

"You always manage to bring me back love." I chuckle, opening my eyes to see that I had skin again, wearing that stupid black dress again. Loki was my anchor who kept me grounded, the one who always manages to silence the whispers in my head and keep me human.

"I would do anything to keep you safe." Loki breathes out, looking down at me with sudden confidence. "I am in love with you (y/n). I am in love with you all over again and I will always love you." I tear up again, smiling in happiness.

"I-" I look behind Loki as the bitch was awake again, swinging the glowing staff. I quickly turn us around, flinching as I take the hit instead. "I'm in love with you too Loki." I whisper as he gasps, my body disintegrating away.
