SafeHaven

Summary:

Having escaped the Time Variance Authority after the Multiverse opens and set on forging their own destinies together, Loki ends up trapped alongside an equally trapped Sylvie and Mobius seeking refuge. He must choose who survives.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

 

"What the HEL is going on?”

Loki blinks, groggily looking to Sylvie.

“Ah, good.” A very tall and robed man steps forward. “We need you responsive to this test.”

“T'ssst?” Mobius asks blearily.  "Headin' to… SafeHaven…"

"We were," Loki reminds him.

"Didnnn' agree to a test…"

Loki grimaces. "Actually we did," he reminds Mobius about their long-signal transmission. "Verbally."

"Ohh…"

Sylvie lurches, pushing her fingertips on the grey-skinned man's temple. No glimmer-green. 

(Loki attempts to conjure his daggers.)

(Nothing happens.)

“Be seated, please." The man glances solemnly to a frustrated Sylvie. “You chose to come. If you attempt to leave before the test is over, you receive a fatal shock. If you refuse the test, you receive a fatal shock.” 

"I'm stronger than I look," Sylvie mutters, teeth bared.

“Before you is a goblet. No one must touch it unless intending to drink. You—” Loki discovers himself pointed to. “You will choose someone to drink. Two of your most faithful companions. Who will you sacrifice?”

“Are you out of your mind?”

“One must drink. Choose wisely.”

Mobius narrows his eyes, and Loki's fingers thoughtfully skim the goblet's rim. "What kinda malarkey—"

"Piss off," Sylvie mutters. "Nobody is falling for—"

"Take care of each other," Loki says apologetically, swallowing a mouthful. He collapses.

They lurch from their seats, kneeling.

"Hey, hey!" Mobius yells. "Come on!"

"Open your eyes," Sylvie demands, near-tears.

"Don't do this right now, Loki!"

Sylvie shudders, dropping her forehead onto Loki's shirt, clawing in. 

Mobius's hand rubs her back. 

When she glares savagely around the man-now-vanished, Mobius grabs Sylvie's arm.

"Look," he mumbles, touching Loki's chest sleepily rising.

 

SafeHaven welcomes you—

We do not take kindly to who would not give their lives for those they love most—

You both would do well to learn from his example—
