This will most likely not happen in the show but I thought hey I'll just write it. Lol. Warning season 2 spoilers.
Sylvie stared at the spot where he stood just a minute ago. She can still picture his face as he turned towards her and gave her a sad smile. A farewell. A goodbye.
Sylvie screamed his name over and over as he walked towards the button. Pieces of his clothes teared away the loom getting closer to his skin. She can remember the cry from his lips as the loom first made contact with his skin. Hearing him in pain made her more frantic and she found herself pounding on the door pleading for him to come back but he never listened instead he soldiered on determined to save everyone and he did just that. He saved them all but lost his life in the process.
"I just want you to be okay." He said to her moments before he entered the loom. Sylvie can still hear it loud and clear. Knowing he never made it back knowing he is gone forever caused tears to form in her eyes.
Sylvie has never cried for someone until now.
She allowed the tears to fall as she continued to stare through the door. She cried through grief and through regret she regretted not telling him how she felt about him. She realized too late how much he meant to her. Now she is alone.
A Loki is always meant to be alone.
A hand goes on her shoulder. Sylvie turns her head and sees Mobius giving her a comforting smile but she can see the pain in his eyes. Mobius loved him too. They both did but Loki died thinking only she didn't feel the same towards him.
Sylvie clenched her fists in anger. She is angry at herself. Angry for making this happen.
"I should of stopped him." She said.
"Don't blame yourself." Mobius replied with a shake of the head.
"He's gone Mobius." She swallowed. "Gone."
"I know."
"We need to do something." She looks round the room. Her eyes stop at O.B. "You know the TVA can't you do something?"
O.B gave her a sympathetic look.
"I'm sorry." He said.
Her face screwed up at that. She wanted to yell at him, force him to find a way to bring Loki back but she knew there is no point. So Sylvie drops her head into her hands and silently mourned her loss. Mobius remained rooted next to her his hand still on her shoulder.
"We can get some pie." He said quietly.
Before she would have smacked him for that but now she knew pie is his way of coping. An comfort he reaches out to when handing an difficult emotional suitation.
The Goddess looks at him and nods. She couldn't stare at the door forever nothing is going to change he is gone.
Gone.
She still couldn't believe it.
Sylvie stands up and brushes her dress down. She could go back to the timeline now everything is restored but she couldn't leave Mobius on his own. He needed her. She knew Loki would want her to be there for him.
"Pie it is." She forced a smile as they both go off looking for as Sylvie calls it "Pie Land."
Mobius barely touched his pie. He poked at it with his fork. Sylvie watched him and she too hasn't touched her pie. They both sat in silence.
Suddenly something comes stumbling forward and crashes into their table. Both Mobius and Sylvie quickly jump back and become defensive ready to attack.
They both look down at the destroyed table and notice someone lying on top of it.
Sylvie's heart leaps to her throat when she sees the familiar streak of black raven hair.
It can't be?
"Loki?" Mobius said his voice cautious. "Is that you?"
The new arrival groans and slowly gets to their feet. They then turn round to face them.
Sylvie gasped.
"Holy cow." Mobius's eyes widen. "It's really you? Loki?"
"Mobius." Loki's smooth voice said with a chuckle. "You should know by now a Loki doesn't stay dead for long." He then looks down at the destroyed table. He grimaced. "Not my finest entrance but in my defence I am still working on the time slipping. I am getting better." He flashed a grin.
Seconds later Loki is knocked back several steps he found himself enveloped in Mobius's arms. Loki smiles and responds the hug.
"Its good to see you too my friend."
Mobius pulls back. Then Loki's eyes go on her. The smile fades from his face.
"Sylvie."
He steps towards her. Sylvie looks up at him. Then she slaps him across the face. He recoiled at that. His hand goes to his cheek.
"What was that for?"
"You out of your bloody mind?" She yelled at him. "What were you thinking?"
His eyes widen at that.
"Sylvie."
"You have any idea what you put us through? We thought you were dead!"
"I was."
She frowns.
"What?"
"Well I think I was." He furrowed his eyebrows. "I mean I remember the loom, I remember feeling like I was being teared apart then it went dark then the next moment." He gestures to himself. "Here I am."
"But how?" Mobius asked.
Loki shrugs.
"I don't know but I...I feel different somehow I feel..." He bites his lip. "Like I'm not me anymore I'm not..." He sighs and looks up at the ceiling. "I feel connected to the TVA, to time in ways I can't explain."
"The loom." Sylvie says. "Do you think something happened in there?"
"I think so." Loki nods. "It's almost like I am..."
"Reborn?" Mobius said.
"Yes." Loki again nods. "I guess I am." He looks down at the ground as he tried to process this information over. He then looks back up. "Maybe we could ask O.B?"
They all agreed with that.
"What are you wearing?" Mobius suddenly asked.
Loki looks down at himself and shrugs.
"I woke up like this." He runs his hand over his new green clothing. "I like it. I think it suits me."
"It does."
Loki looked at Sylvie surprised by her answer. She smirked at him.
"You don't look like a clown."
He laughed at that.
After that they told O.B everything they waited for him to find some answers. Sylvie gazed up at her counterpart and made sure Mobius is out of earshot.
"You are lucky." She said.
Loki frowns at her.
"Pardon?"
"You survived. That's impossible."
"I'm just as shocked as you are." He admitted to her.
"So you knew there might not be no coming back from this but you went ahead and did it anyway?"
"I would do it again." He said without hesitation.
"But why?"
Loki licks his lips suddenly looking nervous.
"Don't say the TVA." She glared at him.
"I did it for my friends." He answered.
She nods.
Right. She thought with a sad sigh.
"And you."
She looked surprised by that. He is turning fully towards her now. He looks down at her.
"Everything I did was for you Sylvie." He continued. "I wanted you to be able to live your life. I wanted you to be happy. I...I just wanted you to be..."
"Okay." Sylvie finished the sentence for him. She can already feel the tears forming at the corners of her eyes.
He looks down suddenly not able to look at her. Sylvie reaches out and grasps one of his hands. He looks down at their intertwined hands.
"And I want you to be okay." She nodded at him.
He smiles at their hands.
"I am now." He replied.
Sylvie found herself smiling along with him. He squeezes her hand. Relief showed on his face. Sylvie squeezed back. She may not admit it out loud but she missed this. She missed them. Together. After what happened she is never leaving his side again. Never.
"Come with me." She said. "To the timeline."
He pulled a face.
"I'm not working in a restaurant."
She gives him a 'Really look'.
"Also." He sighs. "I don't know what's going on with me I..."
She silenced him when she placed her finger on his lips.
"We'll figure it out together."
His face lit up by those words.
"Together." He repeated with a growing smile.
She grins at his reaction.
Together.
Moments later the smile fades from his face. His face becomes blank. Sylvie frowns at the sudden change of behavior.
"Loki?"
She rubs his shoulder.
"Loki?" She repeated.
He didn't answer.
A feeling of unease suddenly rose inside her. Sylvie steps back.
"Guys. Something is wrong."
Everyone paused on what they were doing.
"Loki." Mobius frowned. "What's going on?"
Loki slowly turns his head towards his friend.
"Loki is not here."
Those words sent a chill down Sylvie's spine. Mobius's face screws up with confusion.
"What?"
A grin forms on Loki's face. There was no warmth in that smile. It is cold, sinister.
"My plan has all come together nicely." Not-Loki looks around the room. "Wouldn't you agree Ouroboros?"
All eyes went straight on O.B. O.B lowers his head.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"What the Hell is going on?" Sylvie looks at the thing wearing her counterpart's face. "Who are you?"
He smirks.
"Tell me." Sylvie takes several steps towards him. Her weapon clutched tightly in her hand. "NOW!"
He tilts his head. His smirk widens.
"Oh dear Sylvie."
She glares at him.
"We met once." He said. "And you..." He points at his chest. "Killed me."
Killed you?
Realization dawns on Sylvie's face.
"No."
He nods.
"Yes."
"No." She shakes her head. "It can't be."
"You must have thought it was too easy. Hmm?"
"I killed you."
"You did and you did a splendid job. You did exactly what you were suppose to do."
"What is he talking about?" B-15 asks.
"Allow me to explain." He walks to the center of the room his cloak sliding across the room. "You see I am powerful yes I am full of immense knowledge definitely yes but I had my limits I was strong but not that strong my variants could easily destroy me if a War did happen. I can't let that happen. So I discovered a way for me to reach my full potential. I needed a Loki and not just any Loki a Loki who is able to fulfill his glorious propose."
"For years I searched through the timelines, the TVA took many Lokis but none of them were the chosen one. They were a villain at heart with no redeemable qualities. You..." He points at Sylvie. "You were fascinating. You won't like the others you were destined to be good from the moment you were born."
"That's why the TVA took me?"
"Correct. However despite that you were hot headed, impulsive. TVA had to hunt you down for a long, long time. That all changed when he came along." His finger turns towards himself. "This Loki started off as a villain but he did eventually redeem himself on the timeline. Helped Thor's lover, saved the people of Asgard, had the opportunity for more but his life was cut too short...until it didn't thanks to a little shake up in the timeline. You know the rest."
He smiles.
"The bond you shared together..." He huffed a laugh. "Magnificent, pure chaos, a force to be reckon with. Who would have thought two Lokis working together? Sounds so weird yet so perfect the relationship you both had changed you both he...he cared about you all of you. That's how I knew he was the one. So I took advantage of your pain, ensured your hate towards me was so strong you would kill me without hesitation. Like I said you are hot headed and impulsive perfect in getting the job done which led to the next stage of my plan, ensuring this Loki meets his fate and performs the ultimate sacrifice. Due to me being out of action it was up to Ouroboros to guide you in the right direction."
Everyone's attention returned to O.B.
"You knew?" B-15 asked.
O.B slowly nods.
"Yes."
"All this time?" Mobius said. "All this time you knew what was going to happen?"
O.B again nods.
"I did it for the TVA."
"Bullshit." Sylvie yelled. "You did it for him!"
"You used us." Mobius's voice is quiet but the anger is evident judging by his tone.
O.B bit his lip. Sylvie wasn't sure if that was shame or guilt on his face but she didn't care. The bastard lied to them from the very beginning. He strung them along.
He knew Loki would be back. Sylvie thought. But he said nothing he let us all think he was dead.
"I trusted you." Mobius continued. "We all did."
"I'm sorry." O.B again apologized.
Mobius shakes his head with disgust.
Sylvie would have happily dealt with this asshole but right now they had a bigger problem.
"Don't be hard on him." He-Who Remains shook his head. "He was just doing his job."
"What about Timely?" Mobius asked.
"Him? Oh he was always meant to..." He does a kill gesture to his neck. "Die...In order to be reborn."
That made everyone confused.
"We all got to start off somewhere."
"You are Timely." Mobius said.
"Was. All that about needing to be brave yes that was Timely. He was eager to do the right thing. He didn't know that it was always planned for him to go into the loom and poof."
"And come back as you?"
"And come back as me. You see after Timely 'Died' His life essence split across the timeline all the way until the end of time. Then when Loki stepped in the same happened to him but with him being a God and the chosen one he was always going to come back. The loom unlocked Loki's powers, made him reach his full potential. He is not the God of Mischief anymore no he is so much more than that. With his and my essence we combined the loom brought us together as one and now we are the most powerful being in the universe. The timeline, the multiverse now belongs to us. If the other versions of me try to stop me, they will fail because the difference between me and them is I have my true vessel they on the other hand don't. I'm now a God."
"That wasn't Loki then?" Mobius asked. "That was all you?"
"Oh no you were talking to Loki you see we share the body but our minds are not on the same page yet. So I needed to...put him in lock down. That doesn't matter I don't need him he served his purpose. I just needed his power. His power my knowledge I'm unstoppable!"
"Loki! Loki fight back!" Mobius yelled. "You can't let him win!"
Mobius goes to run but suddenly he froze.
He-Who Remains sighs and flicks his wrist.
Mobius went flying across the room and he crashed into the wall. Everyone gasped as Mobius tumbled to the ground. He winced as pain shoots up his leg.
He-Who Remains let out another sigh.
"Pathetic."
"I knew I should have killed you." Sylvie clenched her fists. Her eyes blaze with fury. "I shouldn't have let you LIVE!"
"But Timely was a good man." He mocked her. "He didn't deserve to die."
"That was before I knew you were the same person."
"Too late now dear. I do have to thank you Sylvie none of this would have happened if it wasn't for you and Loki. He is the chosen one but you were vital to my plans as well so again thank you."
"Screw you."
"You are not my type. He however...he cares about you deeply like a teenager boy with a crush." Sylvie's eyes widen at that. "Adorable actually." He chuckled darkly.
"Loki." She gave him a pleading look. Silently begging her counterpart to come back. He responded with another chuckle.
"He is not coming back."
"You don't know him." She growled. "He is a fighter he will come back."
He shakes his head.
"You of all people should know Sylvie that a Loki will always lose. That's how their story ends." He shrugs. "It sucks but that's just how it is. Now if you excuse me I would love to stay and chat but I have business to attend to. Normality shall resume soon."
He gives the others a thumbs up. A smirk forms on his lips. Sylvie didn't back down. She slowly walks up to the man who wore Loki's face. It pained her to see the eyes that once held concern, warmth and love are now gone. The expression he wore is so foreign so wrong.
Sylvie wanted to rip it straight off his face.
"Listen to me." She said her voice low and dangerous. "I will kill you and that's a promise."
He raises an eyebrow at that. He then gives her an amused look.
"I would like to see you try."
Before Sylvie could respond he suddenly vanishes.
Mobius who is now standing banged a nearby table and swore out loud. B-15 is already ganging up on O.B. O.B was quick to respond he sets off the tem pad and quickly goes through the time door. It closed before B-15 could reach it.
"Damm it." She sighed.
Sylvie stared at the spot where he stood just a minute ago. This time she pictured that cruel smirk, those cold eyes that pierced straight into your soul. There is no farewell this time. No goodbye.
Loki is gone again and this time he may not come back. He might be gone for good.
And she allowed this to happen. Allowed her rage to get the better of her. Set off a chain of events that none of them can stop.
Sylvie continued to stare at the spot but this time not in silence.
This time she screamed.
The End.
As I said I know this won't happen but imagining Tom Hiddleston playing as a villain again I couldn't resist. The Timely and O.B theories inspired this as well. I do hope O.B ends up as a good guy he is so damm adorable I can't bear the thought of him being a bad guy. I'm super excited for the finale :D I can't wait to see what happens.
