Hindsight: My thoughts on Loki (2021)

Welcome back! Spoilers below!

I need to clarify that I watch Loki purely as an escape. I've got a biased perspective in that regard because I don’t actively try to find fault with the show, though there are definitely things I’m not so inclined to. This is more of what I noticed and think things mean and it’s something I’m doing for fun. Anyways, here's my thoughts on episode 2 my loves.

Episode 2: THE VARIANT

Pre-title scene

Miss Minutes’ monologue in the recap is different to the one last ep.

1985 Oshkosh, Wisconsin

C-20!

“Today’s guest performances” on a board. Don’t really know if it means anything tho.

The Iconic (TM) I Need A Hero scene.

Pony.

The green tent - the lair of Loki.

I know not everyone’s a fan of the lighting, but it made sense to me. They’re still in the dark about who Sylvie is.

Why does C-20 take off her helmet? For the drama?

I hope Sylvie cleaned her blade. Narnia taught me well.

The Time Samsung (I can’t remember what it’s called right now) says that the date’s 04/12/1985.

Loki’s first mission (?)

‘Volume 26’ - how many of these does Mobius have?? #giveMobiusajetski

“ONLY at your LOCAL AUTHORIZED DEALER” - subtext about the TVA being control freaks? Jet ski safety?

I googled Wake Magazine. They’re up to volume 20 from what I saw, whilst Loki is reading volume 26, so I guess that’s something

Loki and Miss Minutes lmaooo.

Behind Loki’s elbow is the taxidermy something from the last episode. Also confirms that Loki threatened Casey at Mobius’ desk lol.

The thing has an egg?? What the hell is Mobius collecting? (He’s a Harry Hart variant lmao).

There are little twitches in Miss Minnutes’ hands. That’s so cool!

The egg timer’s a nice easter egg (I’m a comedian).

Mobius! B-15! :)

Is it just me or do the minutemen look similar, but not exactly the same. Makes sense if they’re variants.

I just realised the lights are built into the ceiling. Whoops.

What’s Mobius’ favourite?

Couple of things:

The racks full of identical uniforms/ones just hung up on doors.

The music has started to pick up the pace, but not in the way we see later on in the episode.

There’s a sign saying ‘FARE THEE WELL’ on it. Google tells me that it’s ‘used to express good wishes on parting’. Dang that was some good foreshadowing!

The person that looks like Agatha is still present.

I wonder whether it was supposed to be colder or whether the weather was just like that when they filmed.

The pony’s still around.

I think B-15 certainty that “a Loki couldn’t have gotten the jump of C-20” comes from her experience with them. She constantly tries to make it clear that because she’s not a variant, she’d know Loki better than he would, which (personally) makes the revelation that she’s a variant feel more devastating.

Again with the lighting, they’re still in partial darkness, constantly moving in and out of the light. Whilst what Loki says about the variant setting a trap is true, it isn’t in the context that he says it. Sylvie whoops their asses later.

The black and red-orange flags remind me of tomb markers. It’s a stretch, ik.

B-15 only has tally marks on one side of her helmet.

Mobius has fake pockets in his suit jacket. They’re the worst.

The ticking increasing in tempo as they approach red line - great for setting up tension.

I believe that Loki uses personal space like a weapon - slowly approaching them from the front, and then going behind Mobius’ back when he wants his way. It would make anyone uncomfortable, especially on a subconscious level because there’s a threat behind you.

Or maybe it’s that I have different personal space boundaries, not everyone likes being approached from behind. Loki’s movement felt intentional at least.

Getting Mobius to physically turn his way because of that might have been very subtle manipulation?

Loki looking back and forth trying to judge their reactions lol.

I liked the music in this scene, it sets up tension for Loki’s first attempt at betraying Mobius but then doesn’t completely dismiss it when it’s resolved.

Ravonna Renslayer’s office

The music here is 18 morceaux, Op. 72, No. 2. Berceuse. 18 morceaux, Op. 72: No. 2, Berceuse (Arr. For Theremin and piano) by Clara Rockmore for anyone that’s curious. I found out through Natalie Holt’s Twitter (I think).

The score is, and always will be, perfection.

Mobius’ small talk amuses me.

“Why do you get to keep all the trophies from my cases in here, you don’t think I’d love having that roller skate?” Mobius, what about the thing on the shelf behind your desk????

Ravonna seems like she’s answered these questions before, but she has a fondness for him that makes me think they’re good friends.

Also does Ravonna have multiple complete collections of the Encyclopaedia Britannica in her office? What are those books??

“I hope it’s a double.” Me too Mobius, me too (drink responsibly).

I don’t get how people think Mobius doesn’t remember leaving the stains. It sounded like Ravonna was chiding him for a bad habit and Mobius just made up a remark, not confusion.

Although he does place the cup at a different spot to the rings.

The ship flying past in the windows is a wonderful detail.

“The variant likes to stall for time.” It's very satisfying to me how everything stays relevant. Every detail advances the plot/contributes to it.

“Look, I know you have a soft spot for broken things.”

“I don’t think so-”

“Yes you do.”

Both Mobius and Ravonna only look at the middle figure when referring to the time Keepers. Either the other two are side-lined or don’t contribute at all.

“I’ll delete him myself.” At this point in time, I think Mobius is serious. As the episode progresses, his status may have changed, especially after the Jet Ski philosophy session.

Ravonna’s sash on the peg reminds me of the ones the people talking to Casey were wearing in episode 1.

Man those doors are so cool.

Peak sitting outside the principal’s office energy.

Mobius whistles at Loki as opposed to talking to him like he does later.

Any screen shot from the following scene is pristine chaotic disaster bi Loki energy featuring tired-of-your-tomfoolery Mobius.

“Isn’t that precisely why I’m here?” This marked a change in Loki to me. Up until that point, he’d tried to use what he’d known, who he’d been by scheming his way to the Time Keepers. By admitting he wasn’t sure of his purpose, we’re back with the person at the end of the last episode. It’s very Loki to try all avenues to get what he wants, and after having his world turned upside-down a few times in a short period, maybe he just wanted the familiarity of his old tricks, who he thinks he is.

Loki tensing up and then trying to assert control again reaffirms what I just said.

Man, give Mobius a holiday after all of this. Loki really tested him, huh?

Loki definitely likes validation on some level.

TVA archives (a.k.a the Salad Scene)

I can’t believe that place really exists. The looks combined with the music are just *chef kisses*.

I’m not sure if I’m thinking of the right progression, but the music reminds me of a plagal cadence. Google examples and play it side-by-side, you’ll get what I mean, maybe someone knows what it really is?

On either side of the elevators near the Time Keeper statues are the signs TVA archives.

The symmetry pleases my goblin brain.

I believe the entire show was just flexing the skills of the Loki crew and I couldn’t be happier.

“Pretend your life depends on it. I’m gonna get a snack.” This was so funny in the trailers but Mobius is dead serious (delete him myself comment). And he couldn’t even enjoy his salad.

Love that the end of credits takes from some of the scenes in episode 2.

The archivist has neat glasses.

I want some TVA stationary y’all.

It’s that moment fam.

I can’t be the only one curious by the ‘DISPLACED by 000:000:002:162’. Is that in Units? It would explain why the time line looks slightly bendy whenever we see it, especially if Apocalypses are so frequent.

IT’S THE SALAD LADS!

Mobius is reading the magazine that Loki was looking at earlier. Jet skis are Mobius’ comfort character.

“Don’t set fire to the palace.”

Tom Hiddleston has so much energy, he can move so fast.

“Oh God.” - Mobius, Null Time Zone

“YOU.” - Casey, Null Time Zone

Casey!

No thoughts, head empty, the Salad (TM).

But seriously, people only seem to be at their tables with others that work in a similar section. Not hunters and analysts eating in tandem to me, folks.

Oh Casey. Please don’t hurt him.

Aw, Mobius’ little giggle warmed my heart. Owen Wilson’s giving me whiplash with Mobius. My heart can’t take this y’all.

79 AD Pompeii, Italy

They’re both so giddy, Your Honour, I love them.

Mobius snuck them out lol.

“Bird noises?”

“BE FREE MY HORNED FRIENDS, BE FREE!” The post wouldn’t be complete without this.

Loki just throwing food at people and telling them “...enjoy your last meal while you can” is top tier comedy to me.

This is the first time we see Loki openly say nothing matters. I feel like the case file on the destruction of Asgard really pushed him to treat fate as unchangeable.

LXXIX is 79. Nice one Loki crew!

Mobius’ eye twitching as he checks the variance is a nice touch.

Loki throws away the stick that was holding the goat pen closed at the end.

TVA Archives, TVA cafeteria

Mobius picked up those files so smoothly I had to re-watch it.

Their position reflected what they were talking about - when Loki thinks it’s his individual contribution, he’s walking separately to Mobius, but they meet up when working together. I loved the blocking in that little moment.

I seriously thought that Loki was unconscious when I first saw him asleep around Mobius. I’ll admit it, it felt out-of-character for someone with such bad trust issues. Both of them seem pretty tired tho.

It’s the Jet Ski conversation comrades!

I’m beaming. Mobius talking about Jet Skis was the only time I’ve really remembered it’s Owen Wilson talking. It’s such a fun line to think about!

Loki’s smile. Adorable.

Just go watch the scene, it’ll give you good brain juices.

Mobius does it all for the Jet Skis and nothing else. I don’t make the rules, the Time Keepers do.

“My own glorious purpose.” This is a recurring theme in the season. Ultimately, I think that Loki is going to run for as long as it brings in money/until Loki gets killed again. However, I do like to think that in following seasons we’ll move beyond setting up Phase 4 Marvel stuff and just get deep dives into Loki’s character, though it may happen in the later eps or not be as interesting. Part of what made this show so interesting is the new setting in the Marvel universe but it’s hard to make predictions as to whether it will last in a show featuring the God of Mischief. Whatever happens, I’m happy that we got to see Loki’s existential crisis together, lads.

The music picks up, signalling that this quiet moment is about to end.

“No one bad is ever truly bad. And no one good is every truly good.”

“Scared little boy.”

These lines mean a lot to me. Loki perceives Mobius as an equal, similar to himself but not completely identical. The TVA’s whole aesthetic is Kafkaesque (Disney+ used that word), the imperfections keeping the place from looking mechanical and orderly like what the TVA promotes itself to be. Loki wants Mobius to acknowledge it, but Mobius is in the past, not addressing what’s right in front of him, surrounding him. That’s probably because Mobius doesn’t believe, he accepts what he’s been told though Loki wants to change that. He’s still focused on his job, the variant. I don’t think Mobius will struggle against change in the ‘belief’ part as long as things are rational.

Kate Herron (director) said that the Kablooie scene was improv which makes me wish we had more B roll of Owen and Tom. They seem so professional, invested and fun on set.

“No wonder you’re so bitter.” I’m sorry Mobius you sound as salty as your salad.

‘Artificially flavoured chewing gum’ Has something happened causing artificial flavouring to be preferred?

‘Blue’ has canonically changed to ‘Bloo’ by 2050 in America in the MCU. I blame capitalism.

Why does Mobius look so tiny? I say that like Owen Wilson wouldn’t look like a giant next to me lol.

Owen Wilson is 3.5 inches (9 centimetres) shorter than Tom Hiddleston. Yet he is dwarfed as Mobius. I need to stop talking about this and move on.

There’s no ‘variance energy detected’ line in the report.

“You’re gonna take my job if I’m not careful.” Loki looks so chuffed.

One day, I’ll properly address my thoughts on the shipping. Until then, I just want no one to die.

“Yeah, he’s doing great.” Mobius is so hyped. Good for him.

Owen Wilson has dimples.

Ravonna’s screen doesn’t show the timeline like it does later.

Ravonna is the done mom friend. Sane, undeserving of this, please give her a jet ski moment.

Buckle up folks because the last twenty minutes of this episode are my favourite so far.

At 34 minutes in, we get the music fading in with “Okay. But Mobius...” and a transition to my favourite composition so far. Natalie Holt outdid herself. The soundtrack is nearly constant, there’s no break for a moment of clarity anymore. The progression of events is inevitable, tying the bow on a plot line created in an hour and a half. The little embellishment from the strings (possibly) as Mobius and Loki exit is perfect. Combined with Loki’s raised fist leading to a pan to the ceiling, it prepared the audience for everything being turned upside down.

The changing camera angles and shot lengths (the continuous shot when B-15 takes the knives, the circling behind as the briefing occurs) keep viewers on their toes. The continuous shot is fluid, B-15 doesn’t look at Loki or Mobius, her reaction is natural and that just proves that the timing on that scene was impeccable. The circling behind reminded me of Loki positioning himself behind Mobius as he did earlier, but now he’s on the same side, part of the team though he continues to distinguish between himself and the variant. The building sensation that change is coming is met by the incredible swell in the music as we watch the picturesque Haven Hills get destroyed by modern technology and face the terrifying reality that is the Roxxcart store. There’s a close up on the Roxxcart storefront with school buses with the words ‘Evacuation shuttle’ in the background as we see the TVA’s minutemen come out reinforcing that even when the end is nigh, large corporations will loom over. A storm is raging with worse to come. I can go on and on, but you get the point.

2050 Roxxcart Disaster

I love that y’all are calling this the Alabama supermarket breakup. Makes me chuckle, that’s for sure.

I too hate when people can hear my footsteps. Someone that gets the struggle.

Sylvie places the TVA Samsung over a Roxxcart Security manual. She’s overridden both and is in control.

The date is 03/15/2050.

I think that the way the Hunters and minutemen hold their baton things is so that they don’t get yeeted. Neat.

As always, the beats are slick yo.

I hope the Azaleas guy gets some Azaleas wherever he ended up.

I love the way Loki says “In this storm.” It’s so satisfying for no real reason.

The wonderful Wunmi Mosaku does not get the recognition she deserves for this scene. She switched from B-15 to Sylvie so effortlessly. They’re two distinct characters, her facial expressions, body language everything changed in that instant. Even from the one line, “No, they usually survive,” her delivery had changed in a way that was noticeable. It’s uncanny, exactly what was needed when facing a foe that remained unseen. And the smile? It’s before we know the variant as Sylvie, so naturally it’s that signature Loki smile with a hint of malice we associate with the variant. Damn y’all, Wunmi’s incredible! I really hope she’s recognised for being so talented in this series, if not in all her other work!

Mobius really cares about those people. I really want his redemption (?) arc.

It’s been pointed out that even in those conditions, Roxxcart were selling blankets and water. I think it means that by 2050, cash would be defunct. If only electronic payment existed, as long as there’s electricity they can run a business. Chew on that.

If the man they speak to is 50 to 60, he was a 90s kid.

There must be a difference in the reprogramming or kind of variant selected to be a hunter as compared to an analyst. The Hunters look after their own, but the analysts (or Mobius) go as far as empathising with variants.

C-20 is sitting in front of safety standards.

“A bit amateurish.” Loki knows that the variant isn’t as skilled with magic as he is.

As Loki and the possessed people walk, the lighting becomes brighter. He’s moving out of the shadows.

Me too Loki, I’m worried about B-15 too.

Sylvie unironically saying bless is hilarious.

Randy must be hella tall.

There’s a low angle shot as Loki and Randy face off with the flickering light above with a sign hanging above them like a sword of Damocles and a physical separation. Terror is nearly constant in Loki's life now, but he responds by letting go of his drive to survive.

The subtle swells in the music just add to my rising blood pressure.

C-20’s voice over is sad lads.

“I wanna go home,” we know she’s not referring to the TVA.

Mobius seems like a caring person.

When B-15 sits up and searches the room, I think it’s her realisation. Her shiver was from fear and shock, the music wasn’t about her not seeing Loki, it was about the TVA and what had happened to her.

The head snap and the score timing matching. So satisfying.

“I would never treat me like this. Hi.” I think that’s Loki realising that his foe is not willing to talk their way through conflict.

This fight scene contradicts all the magic we see later ik, but if he didn’t want to hurt anyone and was trying to draw out the real enemy it made sense.

Some of Sylvie’s powers must come into the people she possesses. The guy punched a glass screen and didn’t even bleed.

“I have shit to do.” Sylvie wasn’t raised with court etiquette (from what we know) and her lexical choice reflects that.

Dell computers survive into 2050 in the MCU. So do those robot dogs and Roombas. I am only happy about the Roombas. Where did the real dogs go? :(

“Mobius.”

“Where is he?”

“I lost him.”

“What happened?”

“I...”

Until now, B-15’s delivery has felt slightly rhythmic, like she was used to having the same arguments, particularly with Mobius. When she trails off however, I think it’s her trying to rationalise what she’s been through with Sylvie’s possession. Her devotion to the TVA was rooted in the fact that she wasn’t a variant, her life had a purpose and it was intentional. This must have rocked her, I’m invested in where she’ll go.

THE CUT TO BLACK OH GOOD GOSH.

Sylvie, my queen. I’d roll off a cliff for her.

The person with the moustache (you know the one) has pure fear on his face.

Ravonna knows what’s up.

And so do you, yes it’s the music, go listen to it.

THE RED LIGHTING

The zoom out to that incredible hallway shot and then stopping behind the time door. It was never about him after all, he was in the background of her plans.

Sylvie’s wave in Roxxcart vs. Loki’s on the train. Discuss.

The blackout, thunder and Loki’s pause under the flickering red and white light, do y’all really want me to talk about the s y m b o l i s m????

He’s conflicted, you know it, I know it, Mobius knows it.

Speaking of Mobius, there he is, we cut back to Loki and see him make his decision, zooming back in on him.

And with that final flourish in the score, we are done with episode 2!

Cue the most amazing end credits score you’ll ever hear.

Do yourself a favour, listen to all of it, including the part after the main credits, both are Works. Of. Art.

Ep 2 review

In case you didn’t notice, this is my favourite episode so far. There are parts I didn’t take to as much, but details from the previous episode being used in the plot as well as others being explained by Sylvie in episode 3. Rewatching it was easier than episode 1 though it left me wanting more. It will get more interesting from here, but until then, that was a fun romp.

See y'all next time. I hope whoever's reading this has a wonderful day!

Part 52 - Safe for now...

youtube

Flashback...

It was a very sunny day outside of the Palace of Asgard. Today was Loki's 7th Birthday ! You, Frigga and your friends planned something very awesome for his Birthday. Morro and Garmadon were teamed up, Jana and Micha were also teamed up, Lena and Sahra were also a team and you had to get Loki out of the Palace to the Tree houses in the Forest. Everything was prepared and planned, besides the cake. Garmadon and Morro worked on it very hard and long and now it was in the oven. They were proud of their work. You and Frigga agreed to fool Loki a bit today, but you both didn't know, that Loki would be reacting to it badly...

You ran back to the Palace. You told Loki, that you will hang out with your and his friends, but didn't tell him why and that he can come with. So he stayed behind. He really believed that you forgot his Birthday. You admit it was a little mean tho, but nothing was fully finished back then. You ran down the Hallways and soon ended up on Loki's door. You knocked.

"Go away !", came a little weak voice.

You became worried.

"Loki ? It is me ! Please let me inside !"

"I said go away !"

"Why ? Why are you upset with me ?"

"You forgot what day it is, didn't you ?!"

"Uummm.....22nd day of December ? Why ?"

"It is my Birthday !!!", he yelled disappointed.

You smiled and opened his door, stepped inside and closed it again. You giggled at him. Loki looked at you with tears in his eyes.

"I know, Loki. Happy Birthday."

"Let me guess, you just remembered. I hate you !"

You giggled even more, not affected at his words.

"No. Come with me and I will show you, why I just now wished you a Happy Birthday.", you stretched your hand out to him.

He hesitated but soon took it and stood up, sniffing. You wiped his tears away and smiled at him brightly.

"We have something great to celebrate and you cry ? The important special person is crying on their special day ? That won't do. Now come !"

With that you tore Loki with yourself away from the room and the Palace. He stumbled after you.

"Where are we going ?!", he asked.

"You will see, Loki !", you said excited.

He followed you, until you stood in front of the forest.

"Mother doesn't even now about this place ! She will be worried !", Loki said worried.

"She won't !"

Loki looked down.

"I know...She didn't celebrate with me today and hasn't wished me a Happy Birthday...She forgot my Birthday...", Loki mumbled.

You frowned at that. The plan was a little harsh, you admit that. Soon you smiled again, knowingly. Frigga knows the whole plan and will get Loki and you in the late evening, showering Loki in gifts also. You knew it.

"Then forget about that ! I have a huge surprise for you !", you laughed out.

Soon you and Loki reached the Tree houses and in the lift was Morro, dressed nicely in a suit and waited for them. You smiled at him and waved. He bowed.

"C'mon Loki !", you said grinning at him.

He did as you told him and followed. Morro soon bowed and smiled at Loki.

"Happy Birthday, to your 7th year of being alive Loki.", he said smiling.

Loki looked at Morro in shock.

"Morro ? Is that you ?"

He nodded laughing. Loki also laughed.

"How are you dressed ? You look funny and at the same time great !", Loki complimented.

"Thank you, my Prince. But today is just your day to shine."

Then Morro started the lift up, Loki looked at it amazed.

"You never told me that we have a lift here too.", Loki said to you.

"Well, we don't use it actually. Today is an exception. Your Birthday.", you answered him softly.

He smiled at you.

"Thank you."

You smiled at him.

"You will hate me after we are with the rest. Believe me. You will be embarrassed.", you joked.

He laughed.

"I do not believe you."

Soon you were up and exited the lift, walking into one of the many Tree houses. Garmadon soon opened the last door. That Tree house was once Michael’s, but after he died, they decided to gift it to Loki today. Loki looked around amazed. You chuckled.

"Now !", you called.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOKI !!!", everyone yelled, jumping out of their hiding places.

Sahra was dressed in a yellow dress, Jana in a orange dress, Lena in a red one. And the boys were dressed in suits. Morro had a green tie, Garmadon a purple one and Micha had a silver one.

Loki covered his mouth in shock and let tears escape. He turned to you.

"It is a very cool surprise. Thank you Destiny.", he said and hugged you.

You chuckled.

"No it wasn't just my idea. We all had that one and even told Frigga. That is why she didn't wish you a Happy Birthday. It was all a plan."

He smiled at you in happiness and then went to hug and thank the others. Garmadon even clapped Loki's shoulder softly.

"We aren't done though !", Jana yelled.

Loki looked at you confused. You chuckled and shrugged, not telling him anything.

"You know the plan guys. Surprise him.", you said, amused at the confused and curious Loki.

Lena pulled Loki along in the living room. He looked at you helpless and you giggled at his troubled face. Lena pushed him down on the couch and then ran away, giggling. Soon Morro came back with plates and silverware, Garmadon with cups and glasses and you with a huge covered thing. You set it in front of Loki and the rest got distributed. You gave Loki a huge knife and then sat next to him.

"Uncover it.", you said as everyone sat in their place.

Loki did as told and gasped. A huge cake was the covered thing. The icing said 'Happy Birthday to Loki Odinson !'.

"You may cut the cake, Birthday - boy.", you joked, touching his side with your elbow.

He smiled and laughed softly at that. And then he cut the cake into equal pieces, for everyone. Everyone cheered at him as he cut the cake. He was even more amazed as he saw the inside of the cake.

"Chocolate ? My favorite ? How did you...?", he asked you all surprised.

"It is called a Volcano cake. Garmadon and Morro made it.", you explained.

"Wow...Thank you !", he said happily and digged inside it, excitedly.

The rest laughed and also digged inside. After the cake was gone, one piece was left for Frigga. Loki wanted it like that. Then they lead him to another room, the Bedroom and sat him on the bed, they blindfolded him, so he will not see anything. On the bed behind him were presents and a huge decoration too. Then they unblindfolded him and he gasped.

'Happy Birthday Loki, wish you your true friends, Sahra, Lena, Jana, Micha, Morro, Garmadon and Destiny !!', said the decoration.

Loki teared up in happiness. You wiped them away and smiled.

"Turn around...", you whispered.

He did so and gasped at his presents from you and your friends.

"C'mon ! Open them !", Morro said excited.

"Yeah !", Lena cheered at Loki.

"They are all yours.", Sahra said.

"We spend a long time, to find something for you.", Garmadon told him.

Loki smiled brightly, jumped up and hugged everyone. Then he sat back down and started to open the presents. He got 4 whole dagger sets made out of undestroyable metal, 10 green capes, a few shirts, pants, socks and scarves, underwear...which made him blush, some new boots, a bit more stuff for his nails, a new brush, perfume, soap, many books about potions, spells and more magic and knowledge and the last present was a very big one. Loki made big eyes at that one and opened it eager to find out, what was inside. He was confused as he saw what it was.

"An armor ? But it is very big...I do not fit inside it...", he said sad.

You laughed softly.

"Of course you don't, for now ! I thought it would be nice, to gift to you something, that you will need in the future. When you are older and bigger, this armor will fit and it will be very light. You can do whatever you want with it on yourself. It is unbreakable, well...until frost of course. But just the frost of a Frost Giant. It is very stable and not even a bullet can get a scar into this armor ! It will surely help you in the future of all your adventures with Thor and without him.", you explained.

Loki smiled at you brightly.

"You didn't forgot about my dream ?"

"Of course not ! I planned this armor now for 5 months to be finished ! Are you pleased with it ?"

"More than pleased. It looks awesome !!"

(Minus the helmet, cape and spear ! Belongs to rightful owner !!)

The rest of the day they laughed and partied. Until it was late.

"Loki ! Come with me on the roof of the Tree house. I need to show you something.", you said smiling.

Loki smiled and stood up. You and Loki went to the roof and laid down, looking at the stars. You showed him some pictures the stars made and he did the same. You even laughed at some together. 45 minutes went by until you told him one last surprise.

"Listen Loks...Our friends and I...we came to an agreement...."

He looked at you worried.

"What is it ?"

You giggled.

"The Tree house, you were in with us the whole time...belonged to Michael until he...left us. We decided that we gift you his old Tree house."

He sat up in shock and surprise.

"WHAT ?!"

You giggled.

"That is also why it was already a little green and black...We couldn't finish it though, because of today..."

"You really gift me, my own Tree house ?!", he asked excited.

You giggled again.

"You are officially now one of us. Welcome to the family, Loki.", you told him softly.

He smiled brightly and hugged you tightly.

"Thank you !! I love you all !!!", he cheered.

You gigged even more and hugged him back.

"We love you too, Loks."

Soon Frigga came by and Loki showed her his new Tree house. She was happy for him and thanked you and your friends for all the work and effort. Frigga teleported every present of Loki to his room, besides his future armor. He wanted it hidden here, so he can get it, when he is old enough. Odin would take it away from him and Frigga agreed. She was so proud of you and everyone else. She never saw Loki this happy. Then you returned home and Frigga gave Loki her presents.

A blanket he always wanted, new pyjamas, chocolate with mint, a fluffy cape and warm clothes. Then you and Loki decided to have a Pyjama - party and fell very late asleep.

End of Flashback...

You teleported to a very dark place. It was night clearly to you.

"Where are we ?", Loki asked.

"We are in Haiti.", you answered him shortly and simply.

"Haiti ? Where is that ?", Frigga asked.

"It is on Midgard ! Jane told me about that place ! It is a swamp.", Thor answered.

You nodded.

"A swamp and a great hideout for the Library of All – knowing.", you said.

You turned to the others with a stern expression.

"You stay here and wait. I will put my former friends and the Library of Allknowing in a safe place. Hide and let no one see you."

Everyone nodded. Loki looked disappointed that you left them behind and didn't take them all with yourself. It wasn't time yet, for them to find out...

You went away and let the secret cave be opened. You stepped inside and deep into the hideout. As you arrived in a very big room, you teleported the Library and your former friends into that room. Nothing was changed.

"You will stay in here and never try to get out of the cave. It is the only safe place for you to stay at, without Thanos tracking you down.", you told them.

They all nodded and you did the same. Then you left and went into the freezing room. You looked into a capsule and saw what you wanted to see. You put your hand on the capsule that was able to freeze and keep a body alive, then left.

"Thank you for opening the entrance, old friend...", you said smiling a sad smile.

"No problem."

"But I am afraid, that it isn't quite the time yet..."

They chuckled.

"I know. We will see one another soon again. Destiny Andrea Dust."

You smiled at them sadly and then left.

"See you soon...", you whispered.

You unfreezed the time and called the others. They came to you in the clearance and looked at you.

"They are safe for now."

Everyone nodded at that.

"HEIMDALL !!!", you called.

The Bifrost hit you and you got all teleported to Asgard. The Asgardians and Jotuns parted and you gave Laufey a small smile.

"We will chat soon again, Laufey. Until then...be careful.", you said.

He chuckled.

"I will be. Be also safe, Destiny."

You nodded and with that Heimdall opened the Bifrost and sent the Frost Giants back to Jotunheim.

"Thank you Heimdall.", you said.

"No problem, General Dust.", he said, bowing his head.

You smiled at him and then turned to the rest.

"Time to head back inside the Palace. Odin surely didn't know anything. We were gone for 30 seconds. Nothing big. Let us go back to sleep.", you told them.

They all nodded and you teleported everyone back into the Palace. Lastly you teleported yourself to your own room and fell into your bed, deep in thoughts.
