Looking Through New Eyes [Sequel to Better Than You]

We Got It!

             Pompeii here they were! The sun was beating down on the people, somewhat more on the three who was in suits and jackets. The volcano was about to erupt at any moment. Our group of three was huddled out of site to the people, and Loki was just so giddy to do test the theory. "Any minute now....until this entire town is wiped off the face of the planet. Imagine, all that volcanic ash," He kept his smile. "Could you smile any larger?" (Y/N) furrowed her brows as a joke with Loki laughing a bit to himself. Mobius tried to calm him down, "We don't want to get too giddy now. It's just not in good taste..." "They're all gonna die anyway." (Y/N) hit him in the arm, giving him a look and him just shrugging his shoulders. 

         "Listen, I'm going to watch the Tempad for any variance energy. We gotta be careful, if you're wrong, and there is a good chance you are, anything we do can cause a huge branch," Mobius explained. (Y/N) nodded to this, but Loki just exhaled shortly, "You make even the end of the world sound boring!" "Boring as it is he's right. One misstep and we're all dead," (Y/N) told Loki. Mobius went on, but Loki kept it going in her head with telepathy, "I thought you were on my side." "I think of your safety, I'm not always going to stay on your side." "Come on (Y/N), you know what we have to do! We need to actually test this theory...if we're wrong-" "Enough! .....I trust you, alright. You haven't broke it yet."

         "Anything we could do can impact history. We're gonna start with very small disturbances, can any of you make bird noises?" Mobius asked. They both seemed confused at that as Mobius kept going with his request, "Like some, like, whooshing noises." He then started trying to give an example of it, and (Y/N) simply looked at Loki to get him to pull her with him out in the open. "Loki! (Y/N)!" He made a B-Line for the the cart holding the goats while (Y/N) ran out past the people to conjure up two whips. After the goats were released, she cracked them loudly to get everyone's attention, "I've always wanted to do that!" He smiled at her for a second, then addressed the public in Latin. "Loki nomen meum! [My name is Loki!]" "Ego autem (F / N)! [And I am (Y/N)!]" Loki took over, " Agentibus et nos sumus Tempus Bacteria auctoritati. Nos vobis omnibus tenebris nuntio. [We are agents of the Time Variance Authority. We bring you all dark tidings.]" (Y/N) smiled and jumped to Loki's side.

      "Vos es omnes ad mortem. Quod mons ignivomus est, ut erumpat! [You're all about to die. That volcano is about to erupt!]" "Nos scimus esse, quia sumus in futurum. [We would know, because we are from the future.] We are from the future, right? What is the TVA? I mean, it's from the future," Loki questioned. (Y/N) nodded, "I thought it was outside of time." The rumbling and explosion of the volcano answered the civilians' confusion, making them all scatter like rats. Loki started to yell out different phrases of 'nothing matters' while throwing some stuff, smiling big. (Y/N) looked over to Mobius, "How'd we do?" "I don't believe it. Zero Variance energy. No branching in the timeline."

      The theory was right, so of course they had to move immediately. Getting back to the TVA, they had to figure out what kind of doomsdays the Variant has been. It had to be sudden and natural occurring with no survivors, so that must eliminate a few of them. Turns out it takes more than 2 to 4 hours measuring down, going to the point of Loki falling asleep on the files themselves. Mobius took them both for a walk as break, and ended up back in the cafeteria that was more empty than last time to just sit down and talk. 

        "At your desk, that magazine? Why do you have that?" Loki asked. Mobius answered, "The one on jet skis? Because they're awesome. You know, some things....Actually, most things in history is kinda dumb, and everything gets ruined eventually. But in the early 1990's for a brief, shining moment, there was a beautiful union of form and function, which we call the jet ski, and a reasonable man can't differ." (Y/N) laid her head on the table on top of her arms, "Have you ever seen one in the person?" "Maybe even rode one?" Loki added on. He shook his head, "I think a TVA agent showing up on a jet ski on the Sacred Timeline, that would create a branch for sure." "It'll be fun though," Loki smiled. This was the moment (Y/N) started to tune out of the conversation with a tingling feeling in the back of her head. It wasn't any magic of course, so it was maybe something technical? Or perhaps internal? Her mind went back to when she first got her, when Mobius called her Loki's dog and a leash. It jumped to her looking back on all her past adventures with Eris; the blood, the screams, and fun they had. It all just started to wash over her slowly in that small moment. She only got taken out of it with Mobius putting a hand on her shoulder.

        "And who made you who you are today, (Y/N)? ....(Y/N)?" She looked over at him, "What?" "You okay? Look like you were about to cry.." She shook her head, "No, I'm fine. Eris gave me this power, of course." "And who raised you?" Mobius asked them both. Loki answered with Odin, which (Y/N) disagreed with entirely, and she answered with Eris and rarely some of her underlings. "Odin, God of the Heavens. Eris, Goddess of Discord. Asgard, mystical realm, beyond the stars. Frost Giants, listen to yourself..." Mobius explained. "If you think too hard about where any of us came from, who we truly are, it sounds kinda ridiculous." He does got a point there. {You can tell that I'm rushing it a bit, because this already getting longer then I hoped for. I'm skipping to the the next scene if you don't mind.}

                "You know, you called me a scared little boy." "I called you a lot of things," Mobius said back with (Y/N). "Especially before you ruined his lunch. It started getting creative too," She smirked. Loki looked Mobius in the eye, "You're wrong, though. You see, I know something that children don't. That no one bad is ever truly bad, and no one good is ever truly good." Mobius's eyebrows furrowed, "Scared little boy..." (Y/N) took notice, looking at him in confusion. He got up and the rest followed, hearing something about an object being left at an old crime scene. Some kind of candy. "I gave it to analysis, but they couldn't find anything real. Now we have two variables; apocalyptical natural disasters and..."He unlocked a box to take out a thing of Kablooie in a bag. "What's that?" "Candy. Do they not have candy on Asgard?"

      "Absolutely not. If not fruit, then it's so much meat you'd think you've turn into a pig, "(Y/N) answered before Loki could get a word out. He glared at her, "That is Thor you speak of. We have grapes, nuts..." "No wonder you're so bitter," Mobius walked past them. "You should've seen him eating a warhead for the first time." "A what?" The search was back on for where the Variant could've been hiding with the new variable to cross examine. It lead them to a Class 10 apocalypse in Alabama in the year 2050.
