Loki series version
"So what kind of a Loki are you?" Mobius asked as he sat down at the table with the variant.
"There's only one kind of Loki." Loki said, "Me."
Mobius let out a chuckle, "Sure, sure. Each Loki has similar traits but they're all different."
The detective pulled up a screen flashing different Loki variants.
"We've got King Loki, Boastful Loki, Classic Loki, Horse Loki, and to many other ones to name." Mobius read off as the images flicked past. "But they all have one thing in common. One thing that makes every Loki tick."
Loki rolled his eyes, "I'm sure you're going to tell me exactly what that is?"
"I was hoping you knew. I have some guesses but as you can tell I'm no Loki." Mobius joked.
"Obviously. Now what makes a Loki tick is their glorious purpose. The thing that moves them and what they strive to achieve."
The two shared a questioning glance before Mobius let out a hearty chuckle, "Well that's one theory. Want to hear mine?" Loki didn't answer so Mobius continued, "Love. That's what drives Loki's. They strive to be loved by all and don't care how they come about that love. They'll give kisses on the cheeks to their moms or try and conquer New York. All they care about is admiration and affection. And that's the one thing no Loki can have."
The air held still as Loki processed Mobius's words. "No." He said simply.
"No?" Mobius repeated.
"No." Loki confirmed, "We're capable of love. People love us."
Mobius thought for a second before clicking over the variant slide show to get to a certain one. "This is one of my favorite Loki's. Happiest out of all of you. But he's just like the rest of you Loki's always messing it up. Turning into the villain."
Clips of the "Happy" Loki's timeline start playing.
------------------------
A warm yellow washes across the screen as a h/c stands in a homey kitchen cooking what looks like breakfast. He's humming a song Loki immediately recognizes, his mothers lullaby, she used to sing it to him at night.
Then the h/c turns around with a kind smile on his face and you can now clearly see the 'kiss the cook' apron loosely clinging to his frame. "Morning my prince." He says in a playful tone as we see the 'happy' Loki variant appear on screen.
His black hair is a mess and he adorns a 'ask me about my god complex' t-shirt, obviously bought for him by the h/c.
"Hello lovely." The Loki on screen says as he tiredly kisses his lovers forehead.
"I see your wearing the t-shirt I brought for you." You tease and the Loki cant help but roll his eyes.
"I still can't believe this is your lousy excuse for an anniversary present." He held a scowl on his face but there were no malice behind his words.
"Hey! I custom made that for you!" You pointed the spatula at him accusingly.
You then shove the freshly cooked eggs and sausages on to two plates and hand one to him. Both sitting down at the small table to share breakfast and have a lovely morning.
------------------------
Loki stared at the screen, his eyes locked on you smiling and talking kindly to this other version of himself. "Where's the twist?"
Mobius cocked an eyebrow, "What?"
"You had said earlier love is what all Loki's want but can never get. It seems like this one has love. You were wrong." Loki explains.
That's when Mobius clicked forward on the slides with a sad chuckle, "I wish I was."
------------------------
The warm kitchen setting shifts away to a cold stormy street view.
You're stood in the rain, no umbrella and the tears running down your face blending right into the rain.
"What?" You whisper out, voice cracking, as you look to the god in front of you.
The 'happy' variant of Loki doesn't look happy anymore. There's a frown on his face and his eyes hold a deep sorrow. "I said we're through."
You took a step towards him, "But why? Why now?" You asked.
"Because I'm a god, an heir to the throne. I cant be scene with a mere mortal, my reputation is at stake. I hope you understand but we both knew this wouldn't work out. Is was a mere fling at best." He says the words calmly but you can clearly see the pain each one causes reflecting in his eyes.
He doesn't want to say them but he believes he has to. If he doesn't push you away he's afraid you'll push him away. He is the god of mischief, what could you really see in him that was worth anything?
"Loki," You look him the eyes and he can see the heartbreak in yours, "Please don't do this. I don't know what I did wrong but we can fix it." You plead.
He stands rigid for a second getting one last look at you before leaning to whisper in your ear, "I'm sorry my love. The sun will shine on us once again."
Then in seconds he was gone and you dropped to your knees. You let out strangled sobs as you dig a small black box out of your pocket. Opening it you look at the ring you had picked out and burst down crying even more. With one last look at what was going to be your future you chuck the ring and the box far away from you.
------------------------
Once again Loki is left staring at you, hunched over on the sidewalk crying your heart out. "I'm sorry Y/N." He whispers.
"Y/N?" Mobius repeats, scaring Loki back to the present. "Not once in those clips was his name mentioned."
Loki glares at the jet ski fanatic, "I didn't realize till now I happen to know a variant of him."
Mobius smirks at the god, "You wouldn't happen to have had feelings for him?"
"NO!!" Loki yelled abruptly only to fake cough to try and contain himself, "He was just an acquaintance."
"Oh I'm sure." Mobius laughs, "Statistically every 6 out of 10 Loki's has a variant of Y/N in their lives so it's no surprise you know one. He seems to be a recurring character in many Loki's lives."
"Fantastic." Loki rolled his eyes.
"If I read your file correctly Y/N in your time line was a minor god? The two of you grew up together but he fell in love with a mortal." Mobius inquired, "Is that was started the whole 'conquer New York' thing? Revenge for making your first love leave you?"
Loki jumped forward to kill Mobius but he was snapped back to his seat by the tempad in the detectives hand.
"Y'know I think my theory might be true." Mobius said with a smile.
"What's that again?" Loki asked sarcastically, "What makes a Loki tick?"
Mobius nodded, "Love makes a Loki tick."
Idk I'm kind of proud of this one :)
If someone wants a part two I was thinking either kid loki or a continuation of this Y/N variant concept in a later episode of Loki, what would be better?
