You've been sitting around for a few hours at an empty desk, feet up rocking back and forth on your chair, boredom setting in.
"So what do we do around here, just wait?"
"Well theres always paperwork, but yes, we wait for a nexus event, then we go to it and reset it"
"Fair enough, and those doors? Portals? They just take is straight there?"
"Yes, these" he takes something out of his pocket
"Tempads, these show us the exact location of the nexus events, and open the time doors to get us there, takes a bit of getting used to"
He very briefly demonstrates how it works.
"And do i get one of those?"
He laughs. "When i say we trust you, it isn't that much"
"You earn one. So for the time being, you will follow myself or Hunter b-15"
An alarm goes off throughout the building, red lights flashing in sync.
"Whats that? A nexus event?"
You jump up excited to be doing something.
You look over to Möbius.
He shakes his head "no, thats someone trying to escape, and my guess will be your friend"
You snuff "friend? Far from it"
Möbius heads towards the door, following the Hunters running down the corridor, you go to follow, something catches your eye, he's left his Tempad open on the table, you quickly pocket it before chasing after him.
Further down the hall you see Möbius coming out of Lokis room, empty.
"He couldn't of gotten far, he isn't able to use his magic here"
Thats when you hear shouting coming from further down the hall, you both race out. You're put to a halt as you see Loki backed against a wall, 3 hunters covering him, pointing their weapons.
You barge past them, standing next to Him.
"You kill him, you kill me"
"What are you doing?" He turns his head and whispers to you
"Saving your ass, you can thank me later"
Both pressed against the wall with your hands up, you reach down into your pocket opening the Tempad.
"Can we lower them please" you say with your eyes wide and eyebrows raised, directing the question to Möbius.
Slight hesitation, but he nods. The Hunters lower their weapons and take a step back.
You lower you head and whisper to Loki
"Follow me"
"What?"
You sigh "follow me" you say with a firm whisper
"Come on, you're coming with us" B-15 steps forward.
You press the Tempad, a time door appearing in front of you, you quickly turn and hold your hand out to Loki, looking at Möbius as you do, he grabs you hand as you both escape through the door.
***
You step out. The door disappearing behind you.
"What was that? What are you doing?" Loki turning looking back for the door, arms flayed
"So no Thank you? No Thanks for saving my life Amelia, thanks for getting me out of there?, seriously Loki?"
"Getting me out of there, and where do you suppose we are now?" He turns in a circle, arms stretched out, he shrugs his shoulders.
"I don't know do i? I just got us out, i didn't know where too, we should move, they wont be far behind us"
You begin to walk, looking back Loki still standing in the same spot
"Come on!" You yell to him
He sighs, looking around one more time before walking quickly to catch you.
Silence as you both walk, not knowing where to go or what to do next.
"Here" Loki points. "We can go in there" gesturing to a small hut.
You both walk in and sit down. You take the Tempad from your pocket.
"How did you get that?" He asks
"Möbius left it, so his fault we escaped really" you smile.
Loki looks down. "You already had a way out, why escape, and why with me?" He lifts his head to look at you. Thats the first time you've seen it, a human side to Loki, a slight vulnerability in his eyes, a deep sadness within.
"Some of us have a conscience, i don't need your death on my hands thank you, plus i didn't trust them, they kill people for stepping off the "sacred timeline" seems un trustworthy to me"
He presses his lips together, forming a weak smile.
"So is that a thanks? Or are you going to give me a long speech about why i shouldn't of helped you, as you had a plan and can do everything yourself?" You look at him questionably.
"Well theres no doubt in the latter, however you didn't give me much choice, to which i am slightly grateful"
You look to him bemused "i will take that"
You sit for a while looking at the Tempad, trying to figure out how to use it to its full advantage.
"Come on, we cant stay in one place for too long, lets see what this can do, where we could end up"
You stand up and open another time door, you both step through.
