Chapter Text
"Loki, I found him," said Mobius, holding a file. They were sitting in Mobius's office going through some files.
"What?" asked Loki. "Who's him?"
"Our son," answered Mobius, excited.
Loki's mouth dropped open. "What?" they breathed. They shook their head then opened and closed their mouth a few times, completely speechless. "How?" they asked when they got their voice back.
"Okay so you know of Draco Malfoy?" Mobius started. Loki nodded. "It says here that his parents are Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy."
"As it should," said Loki, their eyebrows knitting in confusion. "What does this have to do with our son?"
"I'm getting there," said Mobius. "They don't have the same type of magic as you do. Right?"
Loki nodded.
"Well, Draco blasted Moody with your magic."
"That's not possible. That type of magic doesn't exist in that timeline."
"I know. But it happened."
"Okay, I believe you," said Loki. He had only lied to them twice. If Mobius it happened then it probably did.
"So I was thinking how it was possible."
Loki nodded.
"So I thought someone dropped him into that timeline. Then I asked myself why. Then I remembered that Kang dropped our baby in a timeline."
Loki nodded yet again.
"Then I looked at Draco's personality, his features, the way he handles things. He has a similar face shape, look in his eyes to you. Not to mention the same skin tone. What's more is that his personality and the way he handles is almost the same as you. And not to mention he has a similar fashion scene as you."
Loki thought for a moment. Then they looked through the files for a certain file. When they found it they read through it quickly. "And Draco Malfoy isn't supposed to exist in that timeline. Narcissa can't get pregnant," they said holding up the file. "You're right. He could very well be our son."
"What do you want to do about it?" asked Mobius.
"I'm going to talk to him and see if I can get him to do that magic again," answered Loki, "Then I'll figure it out from there."
"Okay," said Mobius, then gave Loki a quick peck on the lips.
Loki time slipped to that timeline. Once there they transform their outfit into one for the Ministry of Magic. Then they ran around look for Draco. When they found him, they called out, "Mr. Malfoy I would like a word."
"Okay," said Draco, a little nervous but hiding it well. Loki led Draco to an empty classroom.
"I'm here to talk about the magic you used on Moody," they informed Draco.
Draco's eyes widened with fear. "I swore it was an accident."
"Hey, it's okay," said Loki gently, "I believe you."
"Then why are you here?"
"I was curious to see if you could do it again," answered Loki.
"I haven't tried," responded Draco.
"Try," said Loki encouragingly.
Draco pushed out his hand and closed his eyes. Sure enough a burst of green magic left his hands and hit the wall. Draco laughed. Loki watched, deep in thought.
"Draco, have you ever felt like you didn't belong here?" they asked, "Ever felt different?"
"All the time," answered Draco, honestly. "What does it mean?"
"It means that you're not from here?" responded Loki.
"What do you mean?" asked the fourteen-year-old.
"What do you know of the multiverse?"
"What's that?" asked Draco.
"Okay, this is going to be hard to believe but I promise you it's true. Multiple universes exist stacked on top of each other. Time flows through them in a cycle. Every time something different happens than what happened before a new universe is created. I call them timelines. The magic you used doesn't exist on this timeline."
"So you're saying I'm from a different timeline?" asked Draco, looking shocked and hurt.
"It's more than that. A pure human can't use that magic. Only an Asgardian or Jotun. Or someone who is part Asgardian or Jotun," answered Loki, looking away.
"What?" asked Draco softly, pain coating his voice.
Loki turned around and their heart broke. Draco looked just like they did when they found out they were a frost giant. And sounded like they did too. Any doubt in Loki's mind about Draco being their son vanished. "I'm sure you're my son," said Loki softly.
"S-So my whole life has been a lie," Draco choked out, a tear sliding down his cheek. Then the pain inside turned to anger just like it had for Loki. "You know it all makes scenes now. Why my father always hated me. I bet you did too, " He spat out.
Loki winced. Draco was resembling them a little too closely. ' Well at least I'm not going to fall into an Odinsleep. Not after destroying this kid's reality. Unlike Odin, ' Loki thought bitterly. "I never hated you. You were taken from us when you were a baby and dropped into a timeline," Loki said softly, tears of their own leaking from their eyes.
"Why didn't you look for me?" Draco asked savagely.
"Of course we did. There's millions of timelines and we had no leads. In fact we probably would have never found you if you didn't use my magic," answered Loki.
"Who's we?" asked Draco.
"My husband Mobius and I."
"Then who gave birth to me?"
"I did," answered Loki. "I'm genderfluid and a shapeshifter after all."
Draco nodded. "Can you teach me how to use your magic?"
"Of course," answered Loki, then added hesitantly, "You can even live with us. We would really like the chance to be your parents."
Draco thought of a moment. "I'll give you a chance," he said reluctantly.
Loki's face broke into a grin. "Thank you," he said. "Can I hug you?"
"I guess," Draco shrugged.
Loki wrapped his arms around Draco. Draco had to admit that the hug felt good.
"Can I meet Mobius?" asked Draco.
"Of course," answered Loki then added, "Son."
Draco smiled. That felt right coming out of Loki's mouth. It had never felt right when Narcissa or Lucius had called him their son.
Loki opened a time door and stepped through. Draco followed.
"Wow," said Draco. "What is this place?"
"The TVA," answered Loki. "It's not part of any timeline. It's decanted to protecting the multiverse from people who want to destroy the multiverse and create one single universe."
Mobius ran up to them. "You're back."
"How did you-" Loki started then realized the answer. "You tracked my TemPad."
"Sorry."
"It's fine," Loki shrugged. It was cute how protective Mobius was over them even though they were a god and more than capable of taking care of themself.
"So I see things went smoothly," said Mobius nodding to Draco. Then he turned to Draco and said, "Hi I'm agent Mobius. I'm guessing your Draco. Which I guess makes me your dad." holding out his hand.
Draco took it and said, "Yeah. I guess."
"See that? That's called a hand shake," said Mobius to Loki, referring to the fact that they had refused to shake his hand.
Loki rolled their eyes and stuck out their tongue.
Draco laughed.
"How would you like a tour Draco?" asked Mobius.
"Sure," Draco shrugged.
"I'm going to go tell Thor that we found Draco," Loki informed them.
"Who's Thor?" asked Draco.
"My brother," answered Loki.
"Kay, Lokes," said Mobius. Loki time slipped away. "I really hate when they do that. It looks awful."
"Uncle Loki," a young voice greeted them when they arrived. A tiny pair of arms wrapped around Loki's waist. It was Love, Thor's adopted daughter.
"Hi, Love," they responded.
Thor walked over and brought Loki into a tight hug.
"Hello, brother," said Loki with a smile when Thor released them.
Thor moved to Loki's side and put his arm around Loki's shoulder and patted their shoulder a few times. Though Loki was sure that Thor was trying to knock their arm out of its socket. "What brings you?" asked Thor. He could tell that Loki had news to share.
"Thor, we found him," said Loki excitedly.
"Your son?" asked Thor.
Loki was so happy that all they could do was nod.
"Sibling, I'm so happy for you," exclaimed Thor. And he meant it, tears of happiness were in his eyes. He saw how devastated Loki had been when Mobius and they had lost their son.
Loki smiled to themself. They loved how Thor was always able to pick up on their gender no matter what, without them having to say anything.
"So when can I meet him?" asked Thor.
"Soon," answered Loki. "Give him a week or two to adjust to this situation."
"How old is he?"
"Fourteen," responded Loki. "He used my magic, that's how we found him. And if we had got him before he used the magic it would have created a timeline where we never pick him up."
"Okay," said Thor, Loki knew more about this than he did. They did spend centuries at the end of time observing how the timelines grow so it made sense that Loki knew more. "What's his name?" asked Thor.
"Draco Lucius Malfoy," answered Loki. "But if he's cool with it I'd like to change his middle name to Don and his last name to Lokison."
"Isn't Don Mobius's original name?" asked Thor. He didn't need any information on Lokison. He knew why Loki wanted to change Malfoy to that.
"Yes, in fact it is," answered Loki. "That's why I wanna change it to that. Draco Don Lokison."
"You know that is a good strong name," commented Thor.
Loki laughed. "Well I just wanted to share the news," they said.
"I know. You want to go and get to know your son."
"Yeah, and make sure the tour Mobius was giving him didn't turn into a walking rant about jet skis. I love you, brother."
"Love you too," responded Thor. "See you."
"Good bye, brother," said Loki, "See you, Love."
"See you too," she said.
Loki smiled at the both of them and time slipped away.
"How can they stand that?" said Thor, "It looks really painful."
