Looking Through New Eyes [Sequel to Better Than You]

Your name is Sylvie?

         "So what's the plan?" "There's a town near here, and can you shut up? Just because I have to work with you two doesn't mean I wanna hear your voice." That was the goal. Maybe a large enough power source was sitting in this town, and if it wasn't then they would have to travel further. The female Loki was ahead with (Y/N) keeping up with her easily, while Loki was behind them both. "Alright, well....slow down, variant," Loki ran up to her side. "Don't call me Variant." "I'm sorry, but I'm not calling some faded photocopy of me Loki." She answered back, "Good. 'Cause that's not who I am anymore. I'm Sylvie now." Loki rolled his eyes at that, but (Y/N) smirked. "That sounds...really cool," (Y/N) and Sylvie both looked at each other, and Sylvie smiled a bit before wiping it away. 

          "Since you think I'm not very 'Loki-like', what exactly makes a Loki a Loki?" She asked. Loki answered quick, "Independence, authority, style." Looking over at her, she sighed deeply, "And the woman with you?" (Y/N) answered, "A story too long to tell with the schedule we're on at the moment." There was a small moment of quiet before the conversation continued. Sylvie asked, "So, naturally you both go to work for the boring, oppressive time police?" "I don't work for them. I'm a consultant." (Y/N) stepped in once more, "WE are consultants. We wouldn't be doing this if a certain person didn't think of bring another variant to catch another one of himself....or if Loki didn't want to take over for the 90th time." 

       "He doesn't know what he wants," Sylvie added on. Loki looked really offended at the both of them, "Your years-in-the-making plan was to tear the place down, create the ultimate power vacuum, and just walk away." She shrugged when he stopped. "I've never have done that." "Yeah? Well, I'm not you. Can we get on with this now?" She went on ahead as (Y/N) and Loki stood for a moment. Walking again, Loki started to speaking with (Y/N), "So you're on her side?" "Loki, I respect you from the very bottom of my heart. You are very important to me, but just because I don't attack her like your personal guard dog doesn't mean I'm on her side. Especially with two Loki's, I REALLY don't take sides."

        The town was very metal and broken down, and with the supposed towns people already abandoning the place, it was already a ghost town. "How long do we have?" Loki asked. Sylvie sighed, "12 hours or so. Things down here are only gonna get worse. More meteors, gravity quakes, and of course the collapse of society in the face of annihilation." "Of course, can't forget that part," (Y/N) joked. They kept walking through the town, until Loki spotted a slightly blinking neon light. "Can that charge the Tempad?" He asked. Just looking at Sylvie for a split second, you could be wrapped in the amount of sarcasm and anger floating from her body and face. She decided to play into it most likely to try and get the Tempad, "Maybe." She ran up to the sign, going to take out some cord connected to it. "Just checking the coupling.." "Right..." Loki started to catch on when she asked for the Tempad itself. 

        Loki laughed, "Pitiful. I'm not giving it to you. You're gonna have to try harder then that." "Then don't give me your 'tech savvy' ideas either," She quipped back. "The Tempad requires a massive power source, not a night light." She walked past him with the rest of them following in suite, "How do you even put up with him without cutting off his head?" "The same way you've planned out the apparent end of the TVA....never give up," (Y/N) smiled a bit at her. "To give a short answer since my voice must be very irritating, I've got a lot of history with Loki." "History?" She nodded, "Oh, but not him though." She shot a confused look at her, but didn't say anything else. It was strange, but Sylvie felt a bit comfortable with (Y/N) by her side.
