Somewhere Along the Way...To the TVA

We Have a Situation...

"Breaching his timeline?" I scoffed, "What do you mean breaching his timeline?" I couldn't believe what I had just heard.

Mobius grabbed his pen, pushing a blank piece of paper in front of me and drawing a line across it.

"Ok so...the TVA Y/N, is short for the Time Variance Authority. This here." He tapped his pen on the line. "Represents the timeline and how the time keepers want it to remain."

I blinked at Mobious in disbelief. Time keepers? Was he fucking kidding me?

"Long ago, there was a huge multiversal war..."

"Multiversal?" I interrupted.

"Many timelines...just. Listen to the story please? It will help you understand?" He huffed looking at me pleadingly.

"Fine. Continue..." I waved my hand in front of me signalling I was listening and he could finish his story. Before I dropped it crossing both hands over my chest.

"As I was saying, countless unique timelines battled one another in an attempt for supremacy. Which nearly resulted in the destruction, well of everything as we know it really. Then the Time Keepers stepped in. Bringing about peace and reorganising the timeline - the Sacred timeline." He tapped his pen on the paper again. "Now, the Time Keepers protect the timeline. We, at the TVA help preserve the proper flow of time. Although sometimes like everything else, people, like Loki in this instance veered off his path when he saved you." He paused, looking at me sympathetically, "He wasn't meant to die in that battle Y/N..."

I stared at him sceptically. Who thought of this shit? Was I dead? Was this some kind of joke? I looked around the room again, in hopes of seeing something that would make sense...but Mobius began talking again.

"Those people who veer off their path, become known as Variants. Maybe they start an uprising, or it could be something as simple as being late for work. Whatever it is, if it causes you to step off that path. It creates a nexus event. Which if left unchecked, could branch off into madness. Which could lead to another multiversal war. But that's where we come in. We stepped in to fix Loki's mistake. All be it partly your mistake too. But it left him without a place on the timeline. So, he was to stand trial for his offences."

That.

That caught my attention.

"Offences?! Do you actually hear yourself right now?!" I yelled, staring bewildered at him across the table.

"Calm down Y/N. Please." Mobius tried to chastise me.

"So if he wasn't meant to die...who was?" I growled.

Mobius hesitated to answer me.

"Tell me."

"It doesn't matter Y/N, what's done is done."

I stood from my seat, banging the table, "WHO WAS MEANT TO DIE MOBIOUS?"

"ODIN WAS Y/N, BUT YOU SAVED HIM!" Mobius yelled back at me.

I took a step back, staggering slightly as realisation kicked in.

This was my fault.

"You saving Odin" Mobius started "...it created a nexus event, but before we could intervene. Loki died. Which caused an abnormally. Two nexus events on the same timeline...that should never have happened, then this happened." He clicked something on the small screen in front of him, before pointing to the wall beside us.

I watched on as a video began to play. It seemed to be a contemplation of my greatest hits. I watched on as it showed me as a young girl. Helping on the farm with the horses, moving onto my showjumping career. It showed my short lived singing career. Then, the devil himself. Jackson. Thor appearing in Tony's office with Loki. Them coming to my house. The little glances in Loki's direction as I observed him when he was busy reading. My birthday. The kiss outside the elevator. Drunken Bucky and myself on the counter singing....it continued right up to me clutching Loki's dead body on the battlefield, then the screen went blank.

I turned to find Mobius watching me, as tears had began to fall from my eyes as I rewatched all our greatest moments. "What...what happened?"

He sighed, "When you and Loki both caused a nexus event. Your timelines went blank. We have no idea what happened. Or why."

I sniffed, wiping my tears from my face with the back of my hand. Abruptly I stood up and walked over to the wall. Placing both hands onto the cool stone I rested my forehead against the wall in an attempt to steady myself as my body trembled. The serum was rearing it's ugly head, it wanted me to lose control and I couldn't. Not until I got more answers.

"Y/N? Look, the TVA doesn't just know your whole past, we know your whole life. How its all meant to be..."

I spun around, "Where do you have him? Where is he at?!" I shouted.

"We don't have him."

"I don't believe you. You-you're lying. It's not true!"

"It is true." Mobius remained calm, while I was in a blind panic. In utter denial once again.

A knock at the door interrupted us.

"Mobius what is this place?" I pleaded for an answer that made sense. Because in actuality none of this did.

"Mobius what are you doing?" B-15 asked, looking between us and the screen behind us.

"My job B-15. Is it yours to interrupt me?"

"We have a situation..."

Mobius sighed, "There's always a situation. Y/N excuse me for a moment please?"

I watched as Mobius and B-15 left, closing the door behind them. Leaving me alone.

I made my way over to the desk, looking at the computer, I hit the rewind button before pressing play.

There he was.

My Loki.

I had paused it on us. The morning before I got taken by HYDRA. When we had been lying in bed after waking up. We looked so happy.

So...In love.

"This is all my fault...I'm so sorry Lokes. If...If I hadn't saved Odin. We would have been ok. We could have been together..." I cried into my hands, "This is all my fault." The sob caught in my chest as I felt my heart twinge in pain.

"Y/N?" Mobius' voice sounded from behind me. Startling me.

"I can't bring him back can I?" I sobbed looking up at him.

He made his way over to me, rubbing my shoulder gently, "There is a possibility. That's why I came looking for you. We can help each other."

"How?"

"We...we offered Loki a deal. That we could send him back to his timeline. If he would help us..." Mobius chanced a look down at me, "A fugitive Variant has been killing our Minutemen."

"So you needed Loki to help you stop them?" I quizzed.

"That's right."

"Ok...so where is he?" I looked around the room again.

"The Variant we are hunting is him."

"Excuse me?" I looked at him, waiting for an explanation.

"A variant of Loki, Y/N....and it's taken him."
