"It hurts, doesn’t it? Being lied to. Being told you’re one thing and then learning it’s all a fiction.”

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

He’d take the photo examining it closely as he noticed the similarities between the two women. The serum had changed her a lot but he could still see some of her mother in her eyes and facial features

“She was a healer, is that where you got your drive to try and fix the world?”

[ᅟ͏ ، ͏ 𝑊𝑂𝑀𝐴𝑁 𝑂͟𝑈͟𝑇 𝑂𝐹 𝒯𝐼𝑀𝐸 ⋆*･ﾟ @VALOREDSHIELD]

She looked at the photo for a moment longer before she held it out towards Loki, wanting to show him too. Sarah had been a petite woman… Stephanie had looked just like her before the serum.

“She was a nurse. Which was real fitting for me being such a sick kid.”

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

“I’m sorry to hear about your mother..”
He spoke with a half smile, one of sympathy.

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

Loki would let her have her moment looking around her old home, the place she felt safe. Then she brought up the story of her mother.. Loki could understand that sort of thing.

The kind of pain it caused to lose a mother, only the memories of what was to comfort you. +

[ᅟ͏ ، ͏ 𝑊𝑂𝑀𝐴𝑁 𝑂͟𝑈͟𝑇 𝑂𝐹 𝒯𝐼𝑀𝐸 ⋆*･ﾟ @VALOREDSHIELD]

She stepped into her apartment and just froze for a moment. She felt like crying. Stephanie put a hand over her mouth, only to be pulled from her own thoughts to see Loki using his magic to change.

She laughed a little bit at him, only to then give him a blank stare. —

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

it wasn’t exactly glamorous. A brow raised as he looked around.
“You missed this ?”

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

Loki was dragged along as he absorbed the thanks she gave him, doing such a good deed was out of his wheelhouse to be sure.

It made him feel strange.. good but strange. Making it to her apartment without being spotted the trickster decided to +

[ᅟ͏ ، ͏ 𝑊𝑂𝑀𝐴𝑁 𝑂͟𝑈͟𝑇 𝑂𝐹 𝒯𝐼𝑀𝐸 ⋆*･ﾟ @VALOREDSHIELD]

She squeezed him a bit before she let go, immediately wiping under her eyes so he wouldn’t see her tears like that.

“That’s okay, I get to be home again… thank you, Loki.”

She had been homesick for so long. . . and Loki, of all people, was the one to give her something —

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

change clothes once the door was shut behind him, green magic flashed dimly and his clothes changed into a casual time appropriate outfit.

“You were having so much fun sneaking up here I didn’t want to ruin it.”
He teased her with a little chuckle. His eyes looking her dwelling+

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

@hmmerpwr Well, he didn’t remember making friends with this particular cat. He’d kneel down and gently stroke the creatures head.
“Well hello”

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

not wanting to ruin the moment but also keep her expectation’s in check.
“But at least you’ll get to experience home once again.”

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

He wasn’t expecting her to tear up like and definitely didn’t expect the sudden hug. He’d freeze for a moment before finally stroking her back slowly up and down.

“You’re welcome but remember this is only temporary.. we can’t stay forever unfortunately.”
His tone was gentle +

[ᅟ͏ ، ͏ 𝑊𝑂𝑀𝐴𝑁 𝑂͟𝑈͟𝑇 𝑂𝐹 𝒯𝐼𝑀𝐸 ⋆*･ﾟ @VALOREDSHIELD]

He was being absolutely serious… this wasn’t one of his illusions… Stephanie didn’t answer him, but instead looked to the road at the end of the alley. She started to walk towards it, needing to see more evidence of where they were.

When she saw that it was actually —

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

first?”
He’s of course coming along on this adventure.

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

“It’s not really important how I did it.. it’s a long and convoluted story that we could discuss another time.”
He’d offer her a helping hand as she stood and got her wits about her.

Dimension travel was a strange thing. His lips formed into a smile.
“So, where are we off to +

[ᅟ͏ ، ͏ 𝑊𝑂𝑀𝐴𝑁 𝑂͟𝑈͟𝑇 𝑂𝐹 𝒯𝐼𝑀𝐸 ⋆*･ﾟ @VALOREDSHIELD]

“Loki!” she yelled as he pushed her inside the portal, only to land in an alleyway that she had been very familiar with once upon a time.

She looked around as Loki came through behind her, absolutely confused. . . and amazed. . . she looked around before her eyes landed —

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

Jacket. An old car driving by as Loki looked around, strange place.
“Well, here we are Captain. Home sweet home, you have three days to enjoy yourself.”

He didn’t think it was safe to stay in one timeline longer than that.

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

“Safe, of course it’s safe.”
He’d shove her through the portal before stepping through himself as the door closed behind them. Now if the TVA showed she could blame it all on him.

They were in an alleyway, this was likely all familiar to the captain. The pad placed in his +

Stephanie watched as the orange rectangle appeared, staring at it for a long moment before she looked back to Loki with a confused expression.

“What? I don’t. . . understand? This thing lets us time travel? Is it safe?”

She seemed to lean into Loki a little bit more —

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

@hmmerpwr Why is she in the shadows? That’s where assassins hide, is she out to kill him?

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

Her on to the portal.
“We should have two days to experience your old life or what it would have been after you retuned.”
He smiled at her sure this was actually a good deed.

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

“1943, we’ll go there.”
He typed the number along with selecting an earth that was nearly 100% identical to the one she knew back then. The TemPad opened up a golden orangish portal before them.

Loki placed the device safely in a packet space using magic before waving +

[ᅟ͏ ، ͏ 𝑊𝑂𝑀𝐴𝑁 𝑂͟𝑈͟𝑇 𝑂𝐹 𝒯𝐼𝑀𝐸 ⋆*･ﾟ @VALOREDSHIELD]

“What? Um… I..” she leaned over to try and see what he was doing.

“I was born in 1918. I went in the ice in 1943.”

She moved over more into his side now, though, and watched the tempad. What was this strange little device?

“Why?”

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

He chuckled slightly shaking his head at the though.
“This isn’t a phone, something much different.”

He was typing away on the tablet looking for a suitable timeline for one last visit.
“What year was that again? 1940 or something like that?”

[ᅟ͏ ، ͏ 𝑊𝑂𝑀𝐴𝑁 𝑂͟𝑈͟𝑇 𝑂𝐹 𝒯𝐼𝑀𝐸 ⋆*･ﾟ @VALOREDSHIELD]

Stephanie looked at Loki as if he were certifiable. She stayed quiet for a moment in case he were to say sike… but he didn’t.

“What’s your phone going to do? Loki, that was a long time ago. It… already passed me by.”

But oh how her heart longed for home. Just one more time.

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

he’d pull a tablet from his jacket showing it off. He’s not the first or the last Loki to toy with the TVA.

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

He understood more than she’d ever realize, the feeling of wanting to go back to a place you could never get to again. However he simply smirked, hiding the true feelings.

“Well, I’d know a way you could visit.. sort of.. but it could cause a lot of trouble.” +

[ᅟ͏ ، ͏ 𝑊𝑂𝑀𝐴𝑁 𝑂͟𝑈͟𝑇 𝑂𝐹 𝒯𝐼𝑀𝐸 ⋆*･ﾟ @VALOREDSHIELD]

Maybe if he actually 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 up to something all the time…. Maybe then she’d have a chance to believe him.

Stephanie shrugged and stayed quiet for a moment, as if this topic just meant a lot to her.

“Maybe. You always wonder what if, you know? I missed out on —

[𝔏𝕠ᛕ𝒾 @AnomalousDeity]

That’s fine, he didn’t expect her to change her feelings. He’s sure he will always be treated as suspicious, up to something.. he can’t blame her.

“Would you even really want to go back if you could? The modern world is much more interesting than the old dusty one.”

[ᅟ͏ ، ͏ 𝑊𝑂𝑀𝐴𝑁 𝑂͟𝑈͟𝑇 𝑂𝐹 𝒯𝐼𝑀𝐸 ⋆*･ﾟ @VALOREDSHIELD]

“Slightly,” she said in a sarcastic laugh under her breath, only to look up at him once he had gotten closer.

Just because they had some sort of history now didn’t mean her feelings had entirely changed of him.

“How could I not? It’s one of the only things I’ve got left —
