...

You perch on a sofa next to Loki, refusing to relax, and watch the Y/N and Loki variants interact. It's difficult to watch, because it's so clear that each of the variants from the same universe belong together.

'Resilient Y/N, what was your Nexus Event?'

You look up at Kid Y/N as she asks the question, and the rest of the room falls silent to listen to you.

'I killed someone I wasn't supposed to.'

'Who?' she probes, and Kid Loki rolls his eyes.

'Thanos,' you say, and Classic Loki chokes on his drink.

'Me too,' Boastful Loki says loudly, raising his hand. For some reason this annoys you, and you see TVA Loki smirk out of the corner of your eye.

'Yes, well, it's not a competition, is it?' the male Y/N variant chimes in.

'I'm sorry, I have to ask. Are you..?' TVA Loki asks him, pointing between you and him. The male variant of you smiles.

'I am a Y/N variant, as they say, yes. My name is Nico.'

You can't help but stare at him, and the scar which graces one side of his face. It looks remarkably like the one you'd seen on your future self, back in the time theatre with Mobius.

'What about you, Resilient Loki?' Kid Y/N asks, leaning forward. This time Loki doesn't correct the assumption that you're from the same timeline.

'I stole the Tesseract from the Avengers. The Space stone,' he clarifies, when mostly everyone looks confused.

'The Avengers. I still can't get over how stupid that name is,' Boastful Loki snorts, and everyone apart from you laughs, a twinge of protectiveness materialising in your chest. You stand up, and everyone stops laughing abruptly.

'I'm going,' you say.

'Going where?' Boastful Y/N asks, rolling her eyes.

'Out of this place. Back to the TVA,' you say, already starting to walk away back towards the ladder. You don't need to stick around to see the sympathetic and judgemental looks in their eyes.

'Loki's are as good as escaping as we are at surviving. That gives us a decent chance,' you hear TVA Loki say behind you, and you smile ever so slightly.

'You'll be murdered,' Classic Loki tells you.

'Well, so be it.' TVA Loki says firmly.

'Don't be stupid,' you hear Kid Loki say, and you turn around sharply.

'Have any of you ever heard of a woman Loki variant?' you ask. They all shake their heads.

'No. Sounds terrifying,' Boastful Loki says.

'She is. She's different. She's not trying to take over the TVA, she's trying to take it down, and she needs us,' you tell them desperately.

'You say Alioth is what's keeping us here. You said it's a shark, a living thing. Well, if it lives, it dies. So we're going to kill it, and we could use all the help we can get,' TVA Loki says, moving to stand by your side.

No one says anything. Boastful Loki shakes his head and chuckles, and Classic Y/N looks at you imploringly.

You turn on your heel and walk away, wrenching open the door which leads to the ladder open. Loki follows you.
