The Superior Loki

|3|

I hear footsteps coming up behind me and they stop. I hear someone sitting down next to me. I'm guessing it's Mobius.

"Look.. I'm so sorry about this. I- I didn't even know you cared about him this much. I didn't even know you cared at all, to be honest. But it could be for the best. I mean that in the nicest way possible." He says, trying to comfort me.

"What if it's not for the best? What if he didn't want to? I- I just can't believe he's gone. It just doesn't sit right with me. He's faked his death in the past way too many times. He could be faking it now actually... but how would he with no pulse?" I say, wiping the tears from my eyes and cheeks.

"Maybe it's still there.. it's just so low we can't feel it..?" He replies, unsure if that makes sense.

"You're a genius, Mobius!" I exclaim.

I get up and walk back to Loki's body. I look at it for a second and feel his pulse. Nothing. I try again but on his wrist but nothing.

"Mobius? How do you make sure that he doesn't have a pulse? You know.. them things they have in hospitals?" I ask.

"Oh, a heart monitor?" He replies.

"Yeah." I say.

I flick my wrist and one appears beside me.

"Do you know how to use it?" I ask, looking back at him.

"I might.. let me see a sec." He says, kneeling down next to me.

He gets a couple wires and stuff and puts them on his chest underneath his shirt. I look away so I don't see his bare chest.

"You don't have to look away from it ya know? He loves you. He would love to date you and stuff. And if you both do start to date, you are probably gonna see a lot of his bare chest." He explains, looking at me with a smile.

"Oh, alright then.. that's a weird thought but I guess it's true." I reply.

"I though you would seem creeped out by that. Do you like him? As in more than a friend?" He asks, his eyebrows furrowed.

"W- what? You think I love him? W-why? Why would you think that?" I start, answering too fast. I do but I never want to admit it out loud because love is a weakness and I never want to come across weak. But I think he noticed the nervous tone in my voice. Dammit.

"You're lying. You do! Anyways.. we'll talk about that later, I've got him hooked up to it. All you need to to is press the power switch." He says.

"Alright.." I say, taking a deep breath.

I hesitate for a second but press it.

At first on the screen, there's nothing. Just a long, high pitched beep with a red line.

We wait some more but... nothing. Just the same.

"I- is it faulty maybe? Is it slow?" I ask, worried.

"I- I don't think so.. I'm sorry." He says, a tear or two in his eyes.

I stand up and walk off. I start to walk a little faster then it turns into a run. I run over all the dead bodies and never stop. The place where the battle took goes on forever. It feels like it doesn't stop.

I just can't stop thinking about the fact that he's dead. I can't bring him back if he's been dead from more than a couple hours and he probably has. Tears streak my cheeks but I don't stop sprinting.

I eventually get out of breath and slow down to a walk. Tears still stream down my face and I try to wipe them off but more replace them.

I feel a pull on my back and I see green sparks. I turn around and all I see is a dark green cloud.

I turn around and keep walking, not questioning what it was. This planet is too alienated to question anything. But I feel a pull again and I turn around. There's the same green cloud.

I do the same again but it appears in my path. It's up close and it looks like it resembles a man. I can't tell who it is but they're starting to bug me.

It calms down slowly and they walk closer to me, putting their hands on my cheek. I recognise the way they're doing it, the way it feels.

The cloud calms completely and he's in front of me. Loki's standing in front of me. He's smiling and tears cover my cheeks, without stopping.

"W- wh- what... I- I don't un- understand.." I say, my voice shaking.

"I know you thought I was dead but I did have a pulse, it was just incredibly slow. If you stayed longer you would have heard it. Mobius did and he got me to wake back up and heal myself, then he told me to come to you and well.. for me to kiss you but I don't think it's necessary." He explains, smiling and putting his hands on my shoulders.

"No.. just no.." I say, looking at him and remembering how beautiful his eyes are.

"No what?" He asks, confused.

"You must've faked it! It all fits together! The package you sent me, then no pulse, then Mobius saying about a severely low pulse, then a heart monitor, then him doing it so it didn't actually connect, then a minute or so later your here in front of me saying I missed the heart beat! You liar!" I exclaim, walking away from him

"It's not fake! You saw the sword in my chest! You can even use the tempad to go back in time to when Faldrus almost killed me! It happened, Sylvie. Please understand. Before I blacked out, all I could think about was you." He explains, a tone worry in his voice.

My face that was full of anger smoothed into a soft look of concern. He looks at me with worry, probably thinking if I believe him.

I smirk and crash my lips against his. He at first doesn't kiss back but he does after a second or two. I put my hands on his neck and he puts his on my cheeks. My mouth opens a little without me knowing and he slips his tongue into my mouth without my permission. I don't mind though, so I slip mine in his and our tongues intertwine.

He breaks the kiss to take a breath and he looks me in my eyes and I look back into his. We touch foreheads and I think about how much I hated him dying. I'm so glad he's ok. He moves his head off mine and looks me in the eyes.

"What was that for?" He asks.

"I'm doing what Mobius said we should do. And what he said to me while he was connecting you to the monitor." I explain, smirking.

"Ok.. and what did he say to you when I was on the verge of dying?" He asks.

"Oh, nothing you need to know yet.." I say, smirking.

I kiss him again and I brush my hand up his chest. He likes it and puts his hands on mine.

"You ready?" He asks, having that sexy smirk on his face.

"Ready for what?" I ask, smiling back but confused.

"You'll see.. but does Mobius have a way to get home?" He says.

"Yeah, he has a tempad." I reply.

"Good, because we're leaving." He says.

"Wait. I need to ask you something before we go anywhere." I say.

"What? About the TVA baton? If you're asking why, it's because I wanted to reach out to you again and I wanted to see your reaction when you see me again. Obviously that didn't work out. But can we get back to what we were doing before?" He explains.

"Yeah, I guess.." I reply.

He kisses me again and flicks his wrist to take us somewhere else. But before he has the chance, I hear Mobius saying something like: 'Wait. Don't leave.' or something. Loki obviously ignores him and we disappear.
