After Ragnarok. Let's just pretend that the thing that popped up at the end of the movie didn't show up and yeah. Hopefully if you've seen it you understand what I'm saying. I'm just trying to not spoil anything in case someone hasn't seen it yet cause I know some people who haven't. Also this kinda starts at the end of the movie so if you haven't seen it I'm warning you now. It's just probably the first bit, but other than that you're good to go.

Loki's POV

All was rather odd lately in my life. I look at where Asgard was realizing only a few years before I asked for a seat in to watch Asgard burn. Now that it's happened and with what had happened lately, I don't know what to feel.

The ship was lively and bustling with the survivors. I mainly stayed in my room and read. Today, I went out though. I explored and learned of my new environment and the people who inhabited it. After the eventful day I went back to bed and closed my eyes.

I was alone. I could hear what might have been the sounds of an ocean. Mist in the colors of blue and green surrounded me.

"Hello? I know someone is here. Reveal yourself." I tried to sound brave even though I was sightly scared.

"There is no need to be scared. Hello there you've entered my world. Or perhaps it is your very own. I think you can decide what you see. Perhaps you would like to see what I see. Perhaps you would like to see me. You will with time. Farewell Loki. Find me here when your eyes begin to droop, and you can no longer stay awake."

The feminine voice faded away. Everything faded away and I was floating in what appeared to be space.

All to soon, I woke up.

What was that? Somehow it had to be real for I had never heard it witnessed such a dream. I suppose I would find out the next time I fall asleep.

Today I walked around the ship to avoid my brother. Soon night had fallen and I returned to sleep.

I was floating in space again. I remembered how the voice said I could imagine anything I want so I pictured my room. Not the room in the spaceship but the one in Asgard. Then the space slowly transformed into what I was thinking of.

"Ah, I see you remembered what I said. Also maybe this is in fact real. Maybe I exist. Maybe this world, or perhaps this dimension can be discovered. A world in which your life would be alternate to this one." The woman whispered.

"Why don't you reveal yourself?"

"How does one reveal themselves? Do they open up? Do they appear? Walk out of the shadows?"

"Why do you keep answering in riddles or questions?" I was getting slightly irritated.

"For the master of mischief and a man of knowledge who likes to read and think, I thought you would like this. Do you not? That is very peculiar." The voice sounded so close.

"I suppose. How do you know my name?" 

"I told you. There are many dimensions such as Dr. Strange told you of. There are some worlds in which alternate versions of you exist. However if you can become aware of those things you can alter those alternate versions of you. You can enter those dimensions and be yourself. However it's hard for most especially since they do not know of this. Not even the alternate versions of yourself. I however have mastered the art. Dr. Strange has mastered the art. Maybe you can. If you want."

"That doesn't answer how you know me."

"But it does. Think. Use that intelligent brain of yours. If I know you, then that must mean I am in your dimension. You know me, or you have at least met me."

I was trying to find out who she could be, but my mind wasn't processing. "No one I know speaks like that."

"You are adorably silly sometimes. I know that. If I communicated with you as if I were talking regularly the puzzle might be pieced together quicker."

"I wish-"

"Loki." This voice was not hers.

"Well it would look like your brother is fixing to wake you up. You've been asleep for a long amount of the day it seems. I'm really flattered that you wanted to talk with me for so long."

"I don't want to go. I need answers."

"I know you don't, and do not worry. Your questions will be answered in time. I suppose I will see you again very soon. Farewell until then Loki "

I woke up to see Thor standing in front of me.

"Loki... Are you okay? You normally don't sleep this long."

"I know. Now can you please leave so I can change?"

"Not using your powers? Hmmm I think you must be getting sick."

He left and I was deep in thought. Then I remembered one thing. Dr. Strange. I found a way to contact him and he was soon in my room.

"What do you need Loki?"

"You know about dimensions right?"

He sat down and I sat in front of him.

"Yes. Why?"

"Do you know who all can become aware and be in control of their alternate selves?"

He looked confused. "How do you know that? More importantly why do you need to know that."

"I read it in a book."

"Sure you did Loki. Look just tell the truth because that was a sad lie for the master of mischief." He smirked.

"Look I just want to know. I heard about it from someone that I don't know, but I'm trying really hard to find out who this person is."

"Fine. There's only a few who know of this, me included. Well I mean there's plenty that know of dimensions, but there are only a few who know how to control their alternate selves. Now. I'm assuming you heard this from someone who mastered this art. Just tell me, where did you see them?"

"A dream." I sighed.

"Oh. Well there is one that I know who mainly contacts me through dreams. Was it a woman?"

"Yes." I was getting quite excited.

"Well. All I can say is that in another dimension she is my sister. Would you look at that. I really must be off."

Before I could say anything else, he was gone.

Eventually I went back to sleep.

I was back in that void of space. This time I concentrated on the dimension in which Dr Strange had a sister. Soon a world appeared. It really didn't look any different from the one I knew of. Perhaps it was the fact that they both knew.

"Well hello." A man with curly hair with a trench coat appeared. He had a British accent.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Dr. William Scott Strange. Perhaps Stephen Strange would be better? Looking for m/n (middle name) sorry she's not here. She really wants to make this rather difficult for you."

"Yes I know. Can you tell me anything about her?"

"I'm afraid not. I'd become the victim of a homicide if she found out I told you. Look just like m/n told you you are intelligent use that to your advantage and solve this mystery. I will say one thing. Just remember that her name there is different than the one here just like mine."

Next thing I new my surroundings were changing. I wasn't doing this. I sat outside at a little table in the sunshine.

"France is a nice place isn't it?" Until I could find out her name in my world I called her m/n.

"Well I haven't really been."

"I can recall one time this man who took me for a lovely night filled with dancing and looking out at the city of love. That was another dimension. It's funny how I keep finding him sometimes."

I looked around to see if she might be there.

"You know this would be better if I could actually see you. That way-"

"It could be a date?"

I blushed furiously "No. No. I don't know you and I don't know what you look like. All I know is that in another world your name is m/n."

"That was smart talking to Stephen. He didn't say anything did he?"

"No."

"Perfect. He knows I mean business. Also it's smart to see if anyone here might be looking at you. I'm just going to be honest and say that no one can see you so the chances are pretty much an all time low percentage."

"I just want to know you. You intrigue me. I think I'm feeling.... I'm feeling a liking towards you."

"You... Like me?" Then in the seat in front of me there came the smoke. It was f/c and began to make the shape of a woman. It moved with her movements. I could see her put her hands to her cheeks.

"I think I do. Now you've somewhat shown yourself, and I thank you."

"I really would love to stay longer Loki, but... No it can wait. I... I'm really getting tired of waiting... I figured you'd find me by now. I honestly think you'd be surprised when you find out who I am."

I grabbed her hand which was surprisingly solid. "Is that a good thing or bad?"

"I don't know. I'm not you. The thing is that I really didn't have to master this. I've been stuck I guess you could say going from world to world. I couldn't ever really stay in one place. It's a curse really. Only one can break it. I just want to be free. Sometimes I want to stay in one place longer like here in Paris."

"What must be done to break the curse?"

"Someone I love must confess to me that they love me. It's stupid and irrelevant from the curse I know, but I wasn't able to decide what breaks it. Anyway... I really want to stay Loki, I do, but I must go."

I had kinda seen her. Maybe I was getting close. I realized how fast she was able to make me feel important. How she made me want to find her and solve this.

I spent the rest of the day reading and thinking. I thought of what she said. The love thing. Maybe I loved her. The whole few days to fall in love though just feels to unrealistic to be true though. I don't think I care at this point honestly.

I must have fallen asleep from reading because there I was in this void. This was different though. In front of me was what looked like a mirror. As I got closer I realized it wasn't a mirror. It looked like the front of a glass cage. Worse than mine from all those years ago. Tight and cramped. It was the f/c smoke I'd seen last night. It was m/n. It's like she was in water. She was floating and her hair floated around her too. This must be what she was talking about. Her curse being trapped in this world. I touched the glass and nothing happened. No response. I wanted to save her.

I tried to break the glass with my magic, but my magic must have been cancelled out here. I only knew of one other thing I could do. I put my hand back on the glass closing my eyes.

"I love you." I whispered. I opened my eyes looking at her. Nothing happened for a while. Then she opened her eyes. Her hands reached through the glass and pulled me through. Then there was a blinding light.

I opened my eyes and discovered I was back in the spaceship. Then I realized someone was on me. I sat up and gently moved her up so I could see her.

I couldn't believe it. She was my first crush, of course we were only toddlers then. It was y/f/n. I was told she died before we were even teenagers.

"Y/n... Your alive?"

She opened her eyes slowly and smiled. "I am now. Now that you saved me. I thank you. I love you. I'm sorry I was being so stubborn in not trying to help you reveal myself. Most importantly, I'm just glad you're here. Sorry that we landed on the floor, like I said I'm not in control of my curse breaking abilities."

"It's all fine y/n. I have you now, and no harm shall come to you. I will be with you now. We can go anywhere you want, and we can stay as long as you want."

I held her and picked her up moving her to my bed. "Now you get some actual rest. I'll be right here beside you reading okay darling." I kissed her forehead before getting a book and sitting down. She nodded already closing her eyes and drifting away to probably her first actual sleep of peace in hundred of years.
