Interrogation room 023

2021

Agent Mobius paced the room and looked over at the Brunette sat at the table with handcuffs decorating her wrists. She stared at her cuffed hands that where resting on the table not showing any sign of emotion to the man in the room.

Mobius sighed and crossed his arms, he'd begged for this woman to be saved from immediate death so he could question her and so far it was getting him nowhere.

"Yano, if you talk to me you might actually feel better" He said in his usual gentle tone.

Mobius used the same technique time and time again, be kind, listen and make a joke or two. He never used to have to bring out the heavy forms of interrogation, people usually cracked quickly. Not this woman though, she looked up at him with an icy glare, her green eyes staring straight into his soul.

"I will talk when you take these off" She spat through her gritted teeth gesturing her head down to cuff.

He unfolded his arms and took a set closer to the table. "Not an option sorry. See we know you don't have any 'real powers' so to speak" He air quoted as he spoke.

He grabbed a chair and pulled it out to sit across from her. He rested his hands on the table and flashed her a small smile. "But you are one of the most deadly humans I have ever come across" He told her in a tone almost sounding sincere.

She frowned at the man across from her. "In all the timeline it's you. The most deadly human" He said with a smile shaking his head, almost like he couldn't believe this petite woman in front of him caused so much damage.

Her mouth dropped open for a second before she shook her head. "I have never killed anybody in my life, i don't know why I am here, This is insane" She raged.

Mobius remained calm and patient with her just letting out a little laugh to her outrage. "You messed with time" He told her calmly.

Her mouth twisted up and she looked away now watching a clock on the wall. The clock had many arms and they where all ticking at different times. She sighed and remembered the moment when she got the idea of time travel and she knew deep down given the chance she'd do it again.
"I had my reasons" She mumbled not willing to elaborate further.

Mobius lent back in his chair and folded his arms. "Wheres Loki?" He asked. She looked up at the man, she felt her heart beat faster, a lump grew in her throat but she managed to suppress any tears from falling.

Mobius could see the pain in her eyes when his name was mentioned, but he knew he had his reasons and it had to be done. He'd be lying if he said he hadn't shed a tear or two over their story. "I know it hurts when you love someone and the-" Mobius was cut off by the woman slamming her cuffed wrists against the table creating a loud bang that echoed through the room.

"I don't love him. He is my friend" She screamed, her sadness now replaced with anger. She knew how she felt about Loki and she felt more pain than anyone having their time cut short, her best friend she loved dying before she even had a chance to tell him. Then on top of that, there was the rumours she had to live with, that he left to take over her home planet and never returned for her.

Her heart had never healed nor had she ever really moved on. Life on Asgard was never the same for her after that. She looked at Mobius who was patiently waiting to talk, she had to give it to him, he did seem like a kind man but she was in no mood to talk about Loki. "He was always there for me and then he wasn't" She stated her tone now morbid.

Mobius cocked his head, unsure if she was telling the truth. "So you haven't seen him?" He rephrased.

"Not since he fell off that bridge and got swallowed by a worm hole, Loki is dead" She snapped.

Mobius smiled. "But you know that's not true" He almost sang. She knew he was referring to the rumours Thor had brought to Asgard, it wasn't common knowledge among the people but her being close to the queen she'd heard all about it. She didn't believe a word.

"Thor mentioned him on earth but it is impossible" She whispered shaking her head. "Can I have some water please?" She asked in a lame attempt of changing the subject away from Loki.

"So you went to earth to see for yourself" Mobius summaries ignoring her request completely. She didn't even realized her firsts where now clenched.

"No comment" She muttered through her teeth.

He smiled and stood up from his chair. "Come on" he said in an over the top playful tone. "I can help you find him" He said bending the truth slightly.

"He is dead!" She shouted slamming her cuffs on the table again. "That is why I took the time stone. I wanted to help him! Save him from death" She yelled at the agent. When she stopped talking she released a shaky breath realizing she'd given away her motive.

"Because you love him" Mobius repeated. She gritted her teeth together and pulled her legs up kicking the table with all her force. The table flew straight into Mobius knocking him back slightly. He shook it off and laughed. "See you're living up to your name already" He said in a lighthearted tone. She sat there breathing heavy she was full of adrenaline, she was scared, angry and confused.

She pointed at him raising both her cuffed hands. "You know nothing about who I am and what I have been through" She spat at the infuriating man.

"Actually I know everything" He said in a cocky tone.

Her mouth twisted into a smile, her eyes still boring into him. "Right the papers you made me sign of everything I have ever said ever... hilarious" she deadpanned.

"I know your real past, present and future" Mobius told her with a nonchalant nod.

She clenched her jaw together and looked away from him knowing full well at this moment in time she was powerless. "You broke time and now you're going to help me" He said told her in a more firm tone this time. "And it all starts with your lover" He whispered dramatically adding a smile on the end for good measure.

"Pass" She grunted.

He laughed and shook his head. He knew it was time to bring out the big guns, he'd never met a human so unwilling to cooperate. In his experience humans where so scared of being in the TVA he'd usually get his answers in seconds. She was different and he knew that was the influence of Loki. "Oh passing is not an option. You will help me find Loki" He threatened.

"He is dead" She said slowly her tone dripping with anger.

Mobius sighed and lent forward grabbing a metal controller from the table. She eyed him carefully remembering about an hour ago when someone zapped her with a similar looking device when she tried to attack and orderly. She internally sighed in relief when he pointed it towards the wall instead of her. "Lets look at your tape shall we" He said with a smile.

"I love movies" She said sarcastically hoping it would annoy him. Mobius smiled much to her annoyance. He pressed a button and the wall lit up like a screen taking her by surprise. The first thing she saw was Odin the all father and Queen Frigga holding a baby wrapped in a white blanket.

"Is that me?" She asked almost in disbelief looking over at Mobius, he didn't answer he only smiled and pointed at the screen gesturing for her to keep watching.

Her eyes fixated on the wall, her mouth hanging slightly open as the tape began to play. Mobius knew how personal and emotional the film would get for her so he chose to step out of the room and leave her to watch alone. She didn't even notice him get up as he slid out the door leaving her to watch her memories.
