Sylvie was then woken up by people singing. She looked to see Jamie and Loki, in their TVA uniforms.

(A/N Reminder of Jamie's uniform (but with a TVA jacket with Time-Jumper on the back).)

Loki was singing with the people while Jamie watched with a smile

Loki was singing with the people while Jamie watched with a smile. Then as Loki started singing in Asgardian, he approached Jamie, took her hand, and kissed her knuckles before leading her into the open space. They started slow dancing as Loki continued his singing. Then the beat picked up, making him spin her and her laugh a bit. Then they noticed Sylvie was awake.

"To Jamie and Sylvie, everybody!" Loki declared.

The men cheered at that.

Loki took a swig of his drink, exhaled, then declared before throwing it to the ground, "Another!"

"You're drunk," Sylvie said.

"No, I'm just full. But bear in mind, I'm very full. Now, I need you to try this. It pairs very nicely with the Figgy Port. Who's got the Figgy Port? You have to take my word on the Figgy Port," Loki explained.

"Where's your uniform? We're meant to be laying low," Sylvie pointed out to him then said to Jamie, "And you weren't any help when he took both of your disguises off."

"Hey. They're drunk. They aren't going to remember us," Jamie stated.

"Exactly. And besides, nobody cares. It's the end of the world. I think something's happening," Loki added.

"Yes. Uh, that planet is about to crash into us," Sylvie answered.

"Don't be an ass," Loki told her.

"I saw some people looking at you weirdly," Sylvie said.

"What? When did you get so paranoid?" Loki asked.

"It must have started when I spent my entire life running from the omniscient fascists you work for," Sylvie remarked, sighed, then added, "It's a shame to let that go to waste."

"Hey! Change of subject. I thought of an answer," Loki replied.

"To what?" both women wondered.

"Your question. Love is a dagger. It's a weapon to be wielded far away or up close. You can see yourself in it. It's beautiful. Until it makes you bleed. But ultimately, when you reach for it..." Loki explained with a conjured up dagger, made it disappear when Sylvie reached for it, then finished, "It isn't real."

"Yeah. Love is an imaginary dagger," Sylvie said sarcastically.

"Doesn't make sense, does it?" Loki asked.

"No. Terrible metaphor," Sylvie remarked.

"Damn. I thought I had something there," Loki exclaimed.

"You definitely didn't. And besides I don't agree with it," Jamie replied.

"Then how would you describe it?" Loki challenged lightly.

She looked at him and explained, "Well, love is giving things up for someone else and/or their needs. Being there for them when you don't need to be. Protecting them with everything you have, even if it means you won't make it. Basically, if you see someone and you know it in your heart that you would die for them, that's when you know what you feel for them is love."

As Jamie made that speech, Loki seemed to be lost in her eyes. It felt like everything she said applied to him and how he felt about her.

His thoughts were interrupted when the door then opened and in came a man with a few guards.

"That's him," the man said, pointing to Loki.

"Stay cool," Sylvie whispered.

"It's gonna be fine," Loki assured.

"Yeah," Jamie nodded.

"Sir, can I see your tickets?" one guard asked.

Loki chuckled then answered, "You again. Hello. Um, tickets. Yes, of course. Here they are."

But instead of tickets, fireworks came out of his palm.

"Oops. Still, it looks lovely, doesn't it? Look, is this really necessary? There is a simple explanation..." Loki replied.

Then a fight went on for a while, Loki, Jamie, and Sylvie taking out each guard that came their way. Then Sylvie was in a chokehold, so Loki grabbed a dagger and threw it. But it got lodged in the doorway.

"Awful throw," Sylvie remarked.

Then one man got back up.

"Oh, will you stop it?" Jamie asked.

The fight continued then Loki threw one of the guards out of the train.

"Bye," Loki waved.

But then a couple of guards grabbed him and threw him out the window.

"Loki!" Jamie shouted, jumping after him.

"The TemPad," Sylvie realized then jumped after her.

Loki landed hard on the ground.

"Well, that's not ideal," Loki commented as Jamie got to him.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"I believe so," he answered then wondered with a slight smirk, "Did you just jump out of a moving train for me?"

"Maybe I did," Jamie shrugged.
