The three were back at the TVA, leaving where they were to hurry to a door, then out and to the desk room where the infinity stones were.

"Doomsdays. The variant's been ambushing our soldiers and hiding out in doomsdays to cover his tracks." Mobius said as he walked to one of the desks.

"Or their."
"You're welcome."

Wanda spoke a touch before Loki, but Loki still spoke over her cause he could.

"Yeah." Mobius said.

To which one he was replying too, neither knew.

"But in order for this theory to hold, the disasters have to be naturally-occuring, sudden, no warning, no survivors." Mobius continued.

He grabbed a file off of one of the tables then started out another exit, the variants following closely behind.

"How many disasters could there be?" Wanda asked.

"I don't know. We're gonna find out."

They went to the library and all sat down, picking up the variant files and reading through them to figure out where they could go next, or where they were now.

"How long have we been here?" Loki asked after a few minutes of them researching.

"Dunno. Time works oddly here." Mobius replied.

"It'd be easier to know if I had my magic but I'd say 26 or so hours in Earth years. Rounded at least." Wanda said.

"Great, well every god needs his beauty sleep." Loki said.

"We don't have any special beds for you- okay."

Mobius stopped as Loki set his arms crossed on the table and laid his head on his arms, soon drifting off to sleep on top of multiple files.

Wanda watched him, confused as to how he fell asleep so easily.

"So do the TVA soldiers ever sleep?" Wanda asked.

"No. This is a twenty four hour job. Besides, we were made to not need sleep." Mobius replied.

"Odd." Wanda nodded.

"Are you not tired?" Mobius asked.

"No. I've gone longer without sleep. I once didn't sleep for a week when I was ten." Wanda chuckled.

"So I saw." Mobius replied.

"What do you mean?"

"Well I haven't looked at the majority of your life but I did see the tragedies and your reactions to them. I've scanned Loki's past more, I will admit. Both of you have some pretty messed up lives." Mobius explained while looking at a file.

"So do the TVA soldiers really have no say over what could happen to the timeline? Everything that has happened to me was supposed to happen exactly how it happened? Nothing could've been changed?" Wanda asked.

"Yeah. And that's how it always will be." Mobius shrugged.

He gave a small sigh as he saw nothing in his file.

"This isn't going as planned." He shut the file folder and tapped Loki with it.

Loki looked up, a bit confused and a tad annoyed.

"Come on, let's take a walk." Mobius said.

Loki got up and Wanda stood as well, both following Mobius as he began walking.

Mobius led them to the cafeteria where they'd been before, although this time there were much less people as it wasn't lunchtime anymore.

Mobius and Loki had switched places from last time, Mobius on the left, Loki on the right, but Wanda still was in the middle.
