Looking Through New Eyes [Sequel to Better Than You]

Walk Through Time

           The subject did change thankfully by Mobius pushing a button to have the sound of the gears turning bounce around the room. On the front wall, a holoprojection of what seemed to be New York started to form. Loki scoffed at it, "What is this?" "A sampling of your greatest hits, if I may. Maybe we can get to (Y/N)'s next if we have time." Oh no. He pushed another button to change it to a view of the Avengers, both (Y/N) and Loki rolled their eyes a bit seeing them for many different reasons of course. "If it's all the same to you," It start to play. "I'll have that drink now." She's be lying if she thought he wasn't so hot on that screen, but she kept that to herself. 

         "I remember. I was there. Anything else?" "It's funny, for someone born to rule, you sure do lose a lot. You might even say it's in your nature." Loki's eyes darkened a bit when he said that to him. He tried to scare him a bit, "You know, things didn't turn out so well for the last person who said that to me." "Oh yeah, Phil Coulson." Who? (Y/N) turned to Loki confused before Mobius pressed another button, changing the screen to a S.H.E.I.L.D Agent to what it seems holding a large weapon. In a split second, Loki came up behind him and stab him in the back with his specter. She jumped a bit hearing his groan of agony and Thor scream, now looking at his body slumped against a wall. (Y/N) knew of what Loki did when first going to Earth, but of course she didn't actually see it. She knew of his situation that he wasn't all the way there during it all, but he...he still did it either way. Just not of his own free will. Mobius asked, "Didn't the Avengers come together to avenge him by defeating you?" "Little solace to a dead man." The next question was backed with footage of explosions and screams of pain echoing loudly. "Do you enjoy hurting people?" Mobius asked Loki. He then turned to (Y/N), "You love a guy who hurts innocents for his own enjoyment? Hell, you do it too, so I shouldn't be surprised." She didn't say anything back to him.

        "Making them feel small, making them feel afraid," He went on. Loki was definitely getting worked up, "Your games don't frighten me!" "Making them feel little?" "I know what I am." The screams didn't stop, "A murderer?" "A liberator." "Of eyeballs, maybe." The clip finally changed to him holding down a guy, and jabbing something into his eye as people gasped and he screamed. "Look at that smile," Mobius pointed out. "You are enjoying that. Did you enjoy hurting them?" Loki's mask was slowly breaking, (Y/N) could see it clearly. "I don't have to play this game. I'm a god." "Of what, again? Mischief, right? Yeah, I don't see anything mischievous about this." The screen stopped on a crowd of people looking up in horror. (Y/N) was use to this stuff, but it was just now that the guilt started to catch up. "No, I suppose you don't," Loki quipped back. Mobius simply sighed, glancing over at (Y/N), and changing the topic. 

           "Lets talk about your escapes." Oh god. "You're both really good at doing awful things, and then just getting away." Loki's tone was now just annoyed fully, "What can I say? I'm a mischievous scamp." "This is one of my favorites from you, Loki." The holograph changed to footage of a flight attendant walking down the isle of a plane. The pilot spoke over the PA, "From the flight deck, Captain William A. Scott, Northwest Orient Airlines 305, on schedule to land in Seattle." Wait...no! (Y/N) soon realized what she was looking at, smiling to herself. "No...if this is what I think it is," She laughed quietly. Once the attendant said 'Mr. Cooper', (Y/N) felt covered her mouth in shock. Loki was the mysterious D.B Cooper! He jumped out of the plane, being caught by the Bifrost as both (Y/N) and Mobius laughed in shock. "I can't believe you were D.B Cooper! Come on!" "My head was already hurting, but this is something else entirely..." She started rubbing her temples. Loki didn't seem amused, "I was young and lost a bet to Thor. Where was the TVA when I meddling with these affairs of men? And what does this woman have to do with this apparent crime I have committed?" "I did the same, but for much longer and multiple times before I came peacefully. Trust me, I'd rather be here then where I was before," She looked over at him. "Well," Mobius broke their conversation. "Might as well play some of yours as well. Let's start with your most famous one with Eris," He pushed another button.

         The holograph changed to a landscape of Japan. It was the middle of the night, and the next thing shown was a woman in her late 20's walking down the sidewalk. It took a second for (Y/N) to finally realize which thing Mobius was showing, the Alice Killings. The 5 random killings around Japan from 1999 to 2005 that only had one thing; a playing card with the word "ALICE" written on it with the victims blood. Yes (Y/N) had a hand in these, but she didn't actually do the killings herself. With the first one, she got into the woman's friend's head with Eris to brainwash her and make her kill. Right after, that memory was locked up with a cover of selective amnesia. The 2nd one (Y/N) took a boyfriend and drove him to murder the person, then seeing him flee the country. The 3rd one she did the same whispers to brainwash a guy who use to love the girl, making him kidnap and mutilate her. The twin children were simply a copycat, (Y/N) doesn't go that far. You must think that she just picked randomly, but most had a reason along with the picking. She looked into each of their heads; the 1st victim had too sharp of a tongue towards her friend that made it perfect for that one, the 2nd seduced a girl who already had a boyfriend which is the one who murdered him, and the 3rd humiliated the guy who use to love her. All had a good story to fed the media and everyone else, Eris was so proud of her too. 

     "You were the Alice Killer!" Mobius sounded surprised. (Y/N) raised her eyebrows, "It was my first bigger chaos makings when I was first learning from Eris. It was quite entertaining and clever, feeding the media with such mysterious tales. The last two wasn't me, as you should know, I don't go after kids." Loki was still a bit shocked from what he witnessed on the screen, looking over with surprise but still a little impressed by the work. Mobius gestured to the both of them, "You see, we were right there with both of you just surfing the sacred timeline." "Oh, so all of this had the Time Keepers seal of approval, did it?" Mobius started to explain, "Well I wouldn't thin of it in terms of approval and disapproval. That's sort of a..." He switched it up real quick, he truly didn't know. 

      "Let's get back to escapes, a little psychobabble." He said to Loki's loud sigh. "What is it that you think that you're really running from?" Loki tried to get up, but was quickly put back into his chair with the small remote. He was just trying to make a point, but ended up standing up again anyway to pace.
