As thunder sounded, He Who Remains started to get nervous.

"Oh. So, I fibbed. I fibbed earlier when I said I know how everything's going to go. I...I know...I knew...everything up to a certain point, and that point was about...seven, eight, nine, ten seconds ago. But now I have no idea. No idea how the rest of this is going to go. I'm being candid," He Who Remains admitted.

"So, that's it? That's it? This is what happens at the end of time? And now you're just gonna sit there with all that freedom and...let us decide your fate?" Loki guessed.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! What's the worst that can happen? You either...take over and my life's work continues or you plunge a blade in my chest and an infinite amount of me...start another Multiversal War. And I just...end up right back here anyways. Reincarnation, baby," He Who Remains stated.

"No, it's just another lie. Another manipulation," Sylvie stated.

"Oh. No lie. No manipulation," He Who Remains promised.

He then sighed in relief.

"Wow. I love this. I love...all this honesty. Feels like a fresh start," He Who Remains replied.

"Yeah. A fresh start for the man who thinks he's the only one with free will," Jamie scoffed.

"Oh that reminds me! Loki, if you could hand me the little drive your girlfriend gave you," He Who Remains requested.

Loki looked skeptical before looking at Jamie. She sighed then nodded, so he gave it to him. He Who Remains then set it up before the first of what was on it appeared above them.

She opened her eyes to see nothing but white. She got up to see she was still wearing her outfit then looked around in confusion.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" Jamie called.

She walked around for a little bit, looking for any signs of life.

"It's good to see you, my love," a familiar voice said.

She immediately froze and slowly turned around. She saw Loki, alive, well, and a smirk on his face.

"L-Loki?" she stuttered, he nodded, then she shook her head, saying, "No. It can't be. Loki's dead and this is a dream."

"Well, I may have died physically, but my fate hasn't been fully decided," Loki told her.

"If you really are my fiancé, tell me something that I've only told him," Jamie challenged.

He chuckled as he walked to her and replied, "You told me I had a right to worry about Thor, that when you hit rock bottom, I was the one who brought you back, the emerald is your birthstone, and...you have collected all cards, whether they are birthday, graduation, get well, etc., since you were sixteen."

Jamie's eyes went wide as tears started forming. She started to smile then leapt into his arms.

"Loki!" she exclaimed as he embraced her.

He laughed, which was music to her ears. They parted and she crashed her lips on his. He eagerly returned it as he placed his hand on the back of her head, tangling her hair. When they parted, they rested their foreheads against the other.

"I love your haircut by the way," he told her.

"Thanks," she giggled.

Then it switched over to a different time they met in the white area.

He kissed her, them embracing each other. When they parted, they let their foreheads rest against each other.

"Do you mind if I sing you a song? It's what I've felt for the past five years," Jamie asked.
