Once inside, Mobius shut the door and prepared a projector on a table with three seats while the two prisoners just stood there.

"For the record, this really does feel like a killing-me kind of a room," Loki pointed out.

"Not big on trust, are you?" Mobius asked.

"Trust is for children and dogs. There's only one person you can trust," Loki remarked.

"Yourself? I like it. Slap it on a T-shirt," Mobius told him.

"If the TVA truly oversees all of time, how have I never heard of you until now?" Loki asked.

"'Cause you've never needed to. You've always lived within your 'set path'," Jamie answered with air quotes around "set path".

"I live within whatever path I choose," Loki stated.

"Sure you do. Okay, come have a seat," Mobius said as Jamie went to her seat.

Loki approached him about to attack him when Mobius activated the device for his collar, making him go back to where he stood.

"I told you, time moves differently in the TVA. Come on, sit down," Mobius instructed.

Loki walked to the seat, but remained standing.

"Let's get into this. Go on, have a seat," Mobius insisted.

Loki finally obeyed with a long glare at Mobius, crossing his arms.

"If looks could kill," Mobius commented.

"What do you want from me?" Loki asked.

"Well, let's start with a little cooperation," Mobius answered.

"Not my forte," Loki remarked.

"Really? Even when you're wooing someone powerful you intend to betray? Come on," Mobius told him.

"You don't know anything about me," Loki remarked.

"And when she says she does, you don't question it," Mobius said, pointing to Jamie.

"At least I'm not attempting to get inside his head," Jamie pointed out.

"Maybe I'd like to learn more without doing that. I specialize in the pursuit of dangerous Variants," Mobius said.

"Like myself?" Loki questioned.

"Mmm...No, particularly dangerous Variants. You're just a little pussycat," Mobius told him, making Jamie giggle.

Loki lightly glared at her before she straightened up with her hands up in surrender. They then turned their attention back to Mobius.

"I got a set of questions for you. You answer them honestly, and then maybe I can give you something you want. You wanna get out of here, right? Yeah, so we'll start there. Should you return, what are you gonna do?" Mobius asked.

"Finish what I started," Loki answered.

"Which is?" Mobius wondered.

"Claim my throne," Loki clarified.

"You wanna be king?" Mobius said.

"I don't want to be, I was born to be," Loki remarked.

"I know, but king of what exactly?" Mobius asked.

Loki scoffed before telling him, "You wouldn't understand."

"Try me," Mobius challenged.

A slight pause took place.

"Midgard," Loki said.

"Earth," Jamie replied.

"All right. Now you're the king of Midgard, then what? Happily ever after?" Mobius continued.
