Truth be told, when Olivia asked Loki what his nightmare was all those years ago when Ultron was the imminent threat, he only half lied.
He had had nightmares in the past about that day in the vault, but that wasn't really what Wanda had made him see. When Olivia had asked, Loki didn't really want to tell her because it seemed a lot more... Out there than what he told her. He came to pretty quickly after the nightmare started, so he didn't see all that much. Except one night, this night, when he and Olivia were asleep in their shared bed.

She had the scepter in her hand, to Loki's horror. She blasted everything around her, practically mirroring exactly what Loki had done in this scenario.
She sat in the back of the truck as she absconded with the Tesseract in the case.
The scene shifted to a grandiose ballroom. People in fancy outfits talking amongst each other. Olivia appeared on the balcony above, the scepter hidden as a charm on a gold necklace. It matched with the Midgardian looking dress she wore:
