Sorry, wrong Asgard

Mobius office
2021
Mobius sat in his office watching the CCTV of Maxine. Suddenly he suddenly noticed a blip on his screen, it replaced his CCTV with a picture of the sacred time line. He sat forward in his chair and squinted his eyes at the now branching blip. He raised his finger and pointed at the branch on his screen.
"Where is this?" Mobius asked as he looked at the blip on the screen that was slowly branching off. He turned his head slightly to see Hunter B-15, she stood over his shoulder and eyed the screen.
She clenched her jaw in annoyance knowing it was most likely another Loki variant. "Problem in the time line. We just got signal. England 1873 " Hunter B-15 said with a serious look on her face, she was ready for this to end, she wanted that variant.
Mobius' eyes widened and he turned to face the woman that had been tasked with hunting down the variant. "Do we think It could be him?" Mobius asked in a hopeful tone.
"Only one way to find out" Hunter B-15 said as she grabbed her tempad and turned to open a portal. Her and 4 others walked through the portal before it closed behind them.
Mobius sighed and sat back in his office chair and switched the screen of time lines back to the CCTV of the interrogation room Maxine was currently being held in. He watched her tormented expressions as she stared at the screen, he couldn't help but feel bad her, unfortunately this was necessary.
He heard footsteps approach but didn't bother looking up from his screen "Why are you making her live through her traumatic life" Ravonna asked as she approached him, Mobius didn't even have to look at her face to know she was rolling her eyes.
"I'll need her help" He aswered simply. Ravonna sighed and lent on his shoulder watching the traumatised girl.
"And this is how you plan on gaining her trust?" She asked her eye brows now raised.
Mobius sighed and sat up straight, Ravonna stood up and he turned to her. "Listen I don't want to. You know I am not a bad guy. Loki is mischievous and we need him to help us find the others. He will never work with us unless we get her on board" He explained in a soft tone.
Ravonna cocked her head and raised her eyebrows again "And if this isn't the Loki variant you are looking for?" Ravonna asked.
He sighed and turned back to the screen "Then maybe she" He began pointing to the girl on the screen. "Can give us some incite on where that slippery bastard could be hiding" He said looking back up at the admarible woman.
Ravonna smiled a little but it soon faded. "Do you really think she would sell him out like that. Look at her, he is the love of her life. Soulmate if you believe in that kind of thing" She trailed off.
Mobius let out a little laugh and smiled fondly at the woman in front of him. "Do you believe in soul mates?" He asked in a cheeky tone.
Ravonna rolled her eyes at the flirtatious man. "All I am saying is you are wasting your time with her, she would never sell out the man she loved" She told him simply. She turned and began to walk towards the door leaving him alone.
"What if it meant seeing him again?" Mobius called out turning to Ravonna, she turned round and cocked her head. "Would you sell out the one you love if it meant seeing them?" He asked.
She paused and looked to the ground smiling before looking back up at him. "Never" She said confidently still with that beautiful smile.
Mobius placed his hand over his heart and smiled. "You're such a romantic that's what I love about you" He told her in his usual cheeky tone.
She shook her head at him. "Stop trying to fix broken things Mobius, it only ends in tears" She warned before leaving him alone in his office not even giving him the chance to argue back.
Mobius smiled and turned back to his screen, his smile soon faded when he saw Maxine sat with her knees up and cuffed arms around them crying. He sighed and sat back in his chair, he hoped this was the Loki variant he was looking for, then they could stop this.
Asgard
2012
The sky opened and Loki came falling to the ground with a thud. He groaned and picked himself up from the ground, he lend down and collected the tesseract of the floor. his cuffed wrists tight against his skin. He raised his hands and he gripped the metal mask off his face that was stopping him from speaking and threw it to the ground.
The beaten and bruised god looked around quickly and instantly recognized where he was. The markets of Asgard, he knew he didn't have much time before they sounded the alarm he was here. Loki began to run through the crowd pushing shocked civilians out of his way.
"Get out of my way" he yelled as he pushed through more people, while he ran he managed to brake his wrist restraints and let them fall to the ground as he ran, there was nothing stopping him now.
He sprinted to the palace to find Maxine and take her with him, he needed to explain to her what had happened before Thor appeared and apprehended him for a trial. He knew he needed to act quick so he could explain to her what happened.
Once he reached the palace he ran through the halls rapidly heading for her bedroom when suddenly he was grabbed by his arm.
"Brother, where are you off in such a rush?" Thor asked with a look of humour on his face.
Loki cocked his head at his brother who now had shorter hair. He frowned in confusion wondering why his brother seemed so care free "Thor?" Loki asked in a careful voice.
Thor laughed at his brothers weird attitude and looked down at the blue cube Loki held in his hands. "What is the matter and what is that?" Thor asked pointing at the cube.
Loki sensed something was off, of course his Thor knew what the tesseract was and was currently hunting him down. "The tesseract?" Loki offered, Thor shrugged not caring about Loki's relic. "You cut your hair" Loki said hoping it would give him more insight to what was going on.
Thor pulled a face and let out a little laugh. "No I didn't".
Loki rolled his eyes. "Were is Maxine?" He asked.
"Whom?" Thor asked in a confused tone.
"Maxine!" Loki yelled back. Thor cocked his head wondering what was going on with his younger brother and why he was acting so strange. Loki clenched his jaw and took a step closer to Thor "Tell me now brother or I swear-" Loki began to threaten but was cut of by a feminine voice.
"Husband there you are" A woman called. Loki turned his head to see a petite woman with flowing white hair walk towards them, she had a small baby cradled in her arms and wore a beautiful smile.
"Lady Sigyn" Thor called with a loving smile on his face. Loki turned to Thor his eyebrows knitted together now completely confused as to what was happening.
"You got married?" Loki whispered.
The woman rolled her eyes as she reached the men. "Ha-ha full of jokes this one. The little one is hungry could you feed him" The woman asked batting her eye lashed at Loki. Loki looked at the woman and then down at the child.
"Something isn't right" Loki muttered quietly to himself.
"Husband your face" Sigyn said quietly noticing the cuts on Loki's face from the battle of New York that had happened just an hour ago for Loki. He stared at the woman and took a small step back when she tried to touch him, the whole interaction made him feel uncomfortable.
Thor laughed loudly and stepped forward grabbing the baby of Sigyn. "That's right, this one is too cute to be your daughter" He said in a soft voice as he cuddled the baby. "By the way brother what ever did happen to your face?" Thor asked sounding less concerned than the woman.
Loki frowned at the pair and took a small step back from them. "No" He mumbled knowing something was very wrong. The cogs in his head began to turn finally working out what was wrong. "This is the wrong Asgard?" He said it almost like a question. He was confused and didn't know how it was possible, all he knew was this wasn't his reality.
Thor frowned at his brother now growing concerned. "What?" He asked.
The woman stepped forward and placed the back of her hand on Loki's forehead, he tried to dodge out of her way but it was like she saw it coming and grabbed him by the arm to hold him in place. "Loki are you okay my love?" she asked in a sweet voice.
"Sigyn" Another familiar voice called. Everyone's head turned and Lokis jaw almost dropped. The woman gasped and jumped away from Loki, Thor stepped back with the baby who was now cradled in one hand, He held his other hand out summoning Mjolnir.
He saw himself dressed in the exact same clothing stood at the other side of the hall. As soon as the other man saw him his expression turned to rage. "Who is that?" the other Loki spat as to daggers appeared in his hand. "Step away from my wife and child you imposter" He yelled as he began running towards Loki.
"Wrong Asgard, sorry" He said quickly flashing a smile as the other version of himself sprinted towards him. Loki activated the tesseract and it pulled him back into the blue light sending him flying through time again.
Loki landed on his back this time on a pile of hay in the back of a wagon. He sat up and bushed himself down, he let out a sigh as the impact had almost knocked the wind out of him.
He jumped out of the hay wagon and looked around, the streets where gravy and crowded with people. The strong smell of dirt and waste was almost unbearable for him. He noticed a young boy walking past, Loki's hand shot out and grabbed the boy by the collar of his shirt and pulled him to a stop. "Child where am I?" Loki asked frantically.
The boy gave him an odd look and laughed. "Why you're in London sir" The boy said proudly. "Shoe shine?" The cheeky young boy offered with a smile hoping to get a customer. Loki frowned at the young lad.
"Midgard?" Loki asked not being able to hide his disgust. The confused boy cocked his head and Loki grew impatient quickly. "Cat got your tongue boy?" Loki said in a raised voice.
The young boy took a step back and stared at the terrifying, oddly dressed man. Loki rolled his eyes and sighed "How do you work this thing" Loki hissed to himself looking down at the blue cube in his hand. He looked around and wrinkled his nose at the sights and smells surrounding him. He knew he was a long way from home he needed to work out how to get back to his time.
