Dr. Strange 2: My Thoughts

I will be putting everything under the cut as well as tagging it as spoilers so you can avoid it if you need to (also talking about Loki and Wandavison here as well).

Here are some of my thoughts about the movie:

Let me start off by saying a few good things about this movie:

1. I thought the movie was visually stunning. The CGI was brilliant, the costume designs were amazing, and overall, it was really pretty to look at.

2. I’ve never seen acting like this in a long time, and I thought Elizabeth Olsen did a FANTASTIC job with her character. I actually cried when she was visiting her children on Earth 838, and they were scared of her. She really pulls people’s emotions through her eyes. She has been playing this character since Age of Ultron came out, and she never fails to shock me at how well she can act.

The same goes for Benedict. I thought he did a really good job with his character as well.

3. The horror aspect was also done very well. Sam Raimi has been a director of horror movies, and he really brought what he knew to the table with this one. You really don’t see a superhero movie be centered around this much horror, but he did it very well (in my opinion).

Now, onto the bad things about this movie:

1. This movie was not worth the hype that Marvel was trying to give off. They made it seem like we were going to get this big movie about the multiverse with variants of hers coming in and enemies trying to defeat them, when in reality, the multiverse was not explored at all in this film.

The only thing the multiverse did for this film is to provide Wanda an escape to find her children. Apart from having some of the scenes set in different universes, they didn’t add any heroes besides Wanda and Strange (I’ll get to the Illuminati in a minute). They were all different variants of those two characters, and as much as I like to see Zombie!Strange and Mom!Wanda, they were pretty boring and uneventful.

When Marvel hyped up Spiderman: No Way Home, they talked about the multiverse opening up and exploring the different characters throughout alongside their enemies. No Way Home lived up to the hype that Marvel made it out to be, and they did it well.

MoM did not.

What's the point of having a multiverse with infinite amount of characters, and not utilize them? It seems like a waste of a movie, and this movie felt like it was supposed to be set up for an even bigger film like how the movies were set up for Infinity War and Endgame. Like MoM is only the start of the story and not a good chunk of it (which, yeah, it is the start of a story for the multiverse, but it just didn’t make any sense to me).

2. Marvel did a terrible job at hiding the cameos in this film. Their biggest cameo (in my opinion) was Professor X. But the trailer clearly sowed that he was going to be part of this film. I don’t know who made the trailer, but they spoiled the shit out the movie by showing Professor X, Captain Carter (Peggy Carter), Captain Marvel variant, and other cameos.

I watch the movie with an almost full theater. Not once did anyone gasp or cheer whenever these cameos came on screen because they were in the fucking trailer. The only person the audience was hyped to see (and it wasn’t that good of a hype) was Reed Richards from Fantastic Four.

The other cameos was a variant of Captain Marvel, Captain Carter, Black Bolt (for people who haven’t read the comics, they won’t know who this character is. I don’t know if he’s been in a marvel TV show, so I can’t confirm that) It was a big letdown to see Marvel not take the opportunity they had to bring back characters or even introduced variants of the characters we already know and love.

They could have done a lot with Iron Man, Loki, Deadpool, and even brought Chris Evans to play Johnny Storm. It felt cheap, in my opinion to have only these characters when they had a whole multiverse of characters to choose from.

3. The Illuminati was a fucking joke to me. When Strange was presented with the team, the variant of Captain Marvel told him that they could handle “his little witch” when Strange warned them that Wanda was coming to them. I honestly had no clue the Illuminati was even a thing prior to this movie since I’ve never read the comics, but even I can tell Marvel wasted an opportunity with this one.

I’m not saying we might not get another movie or something about them, but what good is it to introduce a team of very powerful people only to kill them off five fucking minutes later? This plot point could have lead to some very interesting opportunities since the whole fucking point of this group is to make the decisions that no one wanted to make and to protect people from Thanos-level threats.

Does Marvel not realize what they could have done with this group? Not to mention that Captain Marvel literally said that the group could handle Wanda only to have her be crushed by a giant statue. Love to mention Black Bolt getting his head exploded, Captain Carter getting fucking sliced in half by her own shield, Reed Richards turning into spaghetti noodles, and snapping Professor X’s neck from inside her own mind.

Five fucking minutes later.

They made it seem like the Illuminati was this all-powerful rag-tag team of heroes when they weren't. I didn’t see one ounce of power on their end in that fight scene between them and Wanda. What a wasted opportunity.

4. Let’s talk about America Chavez for a moment before I get to Strange and Wanda. While I love the fact that America is this new character with multiverse traveling, they really didn’t give her a whole lot of purpose besides to help Wanda travel the multiverse to find her kids.

I appreciate what she can bring to the table, but it felt like Marvel only introduced her because she can multiverse hop. She could have easily been introduced in some other movie with a much bigger role and purpose than what she got.

The fact that her storyline was the “I’m a teenager with these powers that I can’t control only to realize in the end that I had it in me”. What a fucking boring plot line. It’s been used over and over again, and Marvel didn’t do a good job at making this unique.

I’d like to mention here that Marvel wanted this story to proceed after Loki finished airing, but why? My friend who saw it with me had never watched Loki and she understood what was going on. I think the direction they were going in was to talk about variants and how that ties into Loki, but they missed the fucking point.

If MoM had brought in the TVA, then I could understand why they wanted people to watch Loki so they understood what this organization stood for. They can multiverse hop as well, and it would have been cool if we had seen the TVA try and come in and fix the timelines. I think I read somewhere that MoM wasn’t because of Dr. Strange messed with he multiverse when he tried to help Peter, but because when Sylvie killed He Who Remains (or King the Conqueror), and the timelines went out of control.

If that’s the case, then why bring in America Chavez at all? Why not save her for a better fitted role and another movie, and bring in the TVA who can help assist in the multiverse. Plus, MoM didn’t explain why the multiverse was collapsing in on itself, so who would have thought it was tied directly to Loki? If you haven’t watched the show, then this would have been missed.

Last point about America is that at the end of MoM, she is seen trying to learn magic at Kamar-Taj as if Marvel wanted to close the multiverse timeline by having her learn new powers to forget her old ones. I don’t know if this is what they were going for, but it seemed like that for me.

5. Now, let’s talk about Dr. Strange and how he was robbed of his movie. If you look at the Iron Man trilogy or the Thor movies or even the Captain America movies, each movie is centered around Tony/Thor/Steve. MoM did not touch on Strange’s character at all except to make him a “mentor” for America.

There was no growth with his character. No progression from arrogant asshole to some hero that the world looks up to. Yeah, he helped saved the world from Thanos, but that’s about it. If you look at the first Dr. Strange movie, you could see his progression from arrogant doctor to a broken man to a damn good magical being. MoM didn’t show anything for his character, and this is supposed to be his fucking movie.

This wasn’t a Dr. Strange movie. This was a Wanda movie. It was a Wanda-centered movie with Dr. Strange as a side character.

They even did him dirty with Christine. In the first movie, we could clearly see he was infatuated with her, but the more time he spent apart from her, the less he was interested. Yeah, he kept the watch she gave him, but there wasn’t any want or need shown toward the end of the first film (at least, not in my eyes). To have him go back to being obsessed with Christine after not being with her is just setting his character back further.

Not to mention that the best scene Dr. Strange was in is when he was fighting Gargantos. Even then, his powers were kind of upsetting. He spent the entire fucking movie in magic-cancelling handcuffs. The first movie showed the mirror dimension, showed magical artifacts, and used them to create visually stunning magical fight scenes that were done well.

This movie had none of that.

Don’t even get me started on that fucking musical fight scene. That was a shitty fight scene compared to some of the things that Dr. Strange can do, especially when fighting Sinister!Strange. It had no creative outlook on his powers. He was fighting Mordo with those handcuffs on. They could have done a lot more if they used the mirror dimension or even brought back the Time Stone from another universe to help in the aid.

They say Dr. Strange is one of the most powerful Avengers because of his magic, and this movie didn’t capture a single fucking power move on his end.

6. Finally, let’s talk about Wanda. When I say this movie pissed me off, it was because of what Marvel did with Wanda's character. Not only did they cheap out on her powers and had her completely out of character, she went through all her pain and suffering only to “die” at the end.

Let’s look at some of the things Wanda had to suffer through, shall we? She lost her parents at a young age, she was forced to tamper with an Infinity Stone to give her powers she never wanted in the first place, she lost her brother and her home, she moved to the States knowing no one only to find comfort in Vision, tries to redeem herself by helping others with her powers only to have it backfired, was the cause of the Sokovia Accords coming into play (in my opinion), fighting Thanos only to have to kill the love of her life before they could separate the stone from his head, going through the trauma of killing him only for Thanos to bring him back and kill him right in front of her, being blipped from existence for five years, coming back to see that the love of her life is gone-gone so now she literally has no one, has to resort taking over a town to get the life she always wanted and had kids with vision, realizing that she’s hurting people and can never be happy so she had to sacrifice her family and her happiness again, and just recently with this movie, the dark hold is manipulating her trauma and twisting it into a person she never wanted to become.

Now tell me, how is it fair to have her go through all that only to have her kill herself in the end? All that pain and suffering for fucking nothing.

This isn’t even the first time Marvel has done something like this. To me, it’s like having these people try and be villains (which they aren’t, they’re anti-heroes), and make all these mistakes and the only thing to redeem themselves is to have them die? They did it with Natasha, Gamora, Tony, Loki, Yondu, Nebula, and so many more characters.

To have them suffer only to die in the end without real resolution.

For those of you who didn’t watch Wandavision, she realized just how many people she was hurting at the end. She made the conscious decision to sacrifice her family so that these very real people can have their freedom back. She then took up residence in a remote cabin to separate herself from others so that she wouldn’t hurt them. Now, at the time, it looked like Wanda had taken a step back from magic because she was hurting people (I still believe that she wanted nothing to do with magic as much as she was using it)

All she wanted was her family back. When she started dabbling with he Darkhold, that demonic magic took hold of the trauma that was already there and manipulated her into being this person she was never supposed to be.

The thing that gets to me is that Wanda in MoM was so out of character. She has aways been portrayed as the person who didn’t wan to hurt others and would always try and find a way to save them or even stay out of the fight. It’s not like her to want to kill a child and kill all of these people just to get her family back. It’s not even within in her character to have killed the Illuminati that brutally. I don’t care what the Darkhold is doing, but it wouldn’t turn her into a person she doesn’t recognize. It may manipulate her into making mistakes but Wanda knew what she was doing when she killed all those people.

My friend had told me that she didn’t like how MoM portrayed how powerful Wanda really is, and I completely agree. I look back at Wandavison and Endgame, and you could see how powerful she was because of how much magic she was using and what she did with it. It really felt like a steal to not see that passion and hate in this movie.

Her fight scenes were really dull compared to other ones, and the fight scene with the Illuminati didn’t showcase how powerful she was. She turned Black Bolt’s mouth into nothing with just a few words. That is power, but there were no “badass” power scenes like the ones we’ve been given.

Don’t get me wrong, I will always defend Wanda and she is my favorite female character by far. She is very powerful and I love her for it.

The thing that bothered me is the fact that Vision wasn’t in this movie at all. Not one universe showcased her being with Vision. It was always with he kids. The whole point of Wandavision was for her to live her life with Vision and their two kids. I get that she wants to be happy with them, but to go as far as she did to try and achieve that was out of character (in my opinion).

Wanda has suffered enough, and while I don’t believe she actually died at the end (did you see the scene where she came out of that gong Ring style with broken bones?), I do believe she will be back for maybe her own movie? Another show? But at what cost?

I thought this movie was going to be about her and Strange teaming up to take down Mordo based on what happened at the end of the first Dr. Strange movie. I thought she was going to be kind of good and we’d get to see the progression into madness throughout the movie. She was “evil” from the start, and I didn’t like that for her.

Do I think this movie was bad? No. Do I think it was the best? No. I think this movie is the beginning of the multiverse storyline for phase four and possibly phase five. I just think it could have been executed better if they had delved deeper into the multiverse itself.

I’m sorry if this comes across as me bashing on MoM and tearing it down, especially for people who thought it was amazing. I just hate seeing Marvel kill off characters or turn them into something they’re not because they made bad choices and didn’t give them a shot at redeeming themselves.

Anyway, that’s my two cents. Please don’t send hate, but come talk to me if you want to discuss further!

You and Loki just make it through the Time door and you're.....back at the TVA

"Wait, why are we back here?" Loki asks, confused.

"Loki, she knows where the Time keepers are!" you say and begin running toward the door.

"Wait!" Loki calls out.

"What?" you walk back and ask.

Taking his daggers out of the locker, he looks at you and says, " Be careful, I don't want you to get hurt."

Face softening, you smile and say, " Don't worry about me, I took on a Mad Titan, I can be careful."

Loki's eyebrows go up at the mention of this 'Mad Titan' but he doesn't say anything.

"Come on, let's go!" you say and run out, him closely following you.

Readying your knives you slowly walk across the corridor, alert and ready to fight. Loki is doing the same except you have your hood on nd no one can see your face. As you keep walking you come across two bodies of some minute-men she killed.

Walking faster, both of you get there just in time.

Flipping your knives, you wait, but the ass can't help himself.

" A few questions" He asks, making you roll your eyes.

" Have you got nothing better to do?" she asks.

" I agree with her." you say making her smirk.

Ignoring what you just said, Loki makes his way behind her, "Rude, are you sure you're a Loki?" he asks, pointing his dagger at her.

"You're in my way" she says

"You are my way!" Loki quips back.

At this point, you're leaning against the wall, playing with a knife as you watch the scene unfold.

Finally The Variant unsheathes her Katana and ready to fight, she swings it at Loki, but he dodges it and is pushed back almost colliding with you.

"I thought we could work together, but I see you lack vision."

Groaning, she ignores him, walking toward the elevators.

Taking the chance you slip up behind her and using the moment, you kick the back of her knees, causing her to double over in pain.

Loki comes and twists her hand behind her, making her grunt in pain.

"Either, you'll come willingly or not, either way, I get to the time-keepers."

" Oh god. Shut up!" she says and wriggles out his grip, kicking him in the stomach before coming over to you.

Slashing her katana over your head, you duck and kick her in the stomach, causing her to be launched backwards, she extends her arms and manages to cut your cheek whilst being thrown backwards.

Loki gets up and making his way toward her, in a low and gravelly voice, he threatens," Don't ever touch her again." before she pushes him over, the three of you are now fighting, the sound of metal clanging, grunts of pain and the occasional sarcastic quip.

It's when you have a chokehold on her and she's pressing her katana into Loki that Ravonna comes in.

"Come any closer and I'll kill him." she threatens.

" Oh hehe, no darling, you hurt him and I'll kill you," you reply, which for some reason makes Loki's heart flutter.

"Go for it." Ravonna says before making her way towards you.

Just in time, Loki takes The Variant's TemPad and transports all of you somewhere else.

You wake up to see Loki and The Variant fighting like cats and dogs over the TemPad.

" Okay, where the fuck are we?" you ask. You're in a tent somewhere.

" Y/n! Thank goodness, you're alright." Loki says in relief.

Taking your hood off, you look at both of them, just in time to see The Variant's breath hitch.

"Wow, she's beautiful" ,you hear her thoughts.

" Better block your minds both of you, I can hear loud thoughts, thank you, you're really pretty too." you say.

Immediately the barriers come up,, making you smirk

" Thanks." she says her voice friendlier.

Suddenly, a rock is blasted through the roof, making your eyebrows furrow in confusion.

" Where did you send us?" you and The Variant say.

Walking out, you immediately recognize the place, purple, rocky and of course, the planet crashing into it

Lamentis 1

"Oh shit! This is Lamentis 1!" you shout.

"Wait what?" Loki asks.

"You idiot!" The Variant shouts, " We're in Lamentis 1!"

"I don't know what that means!" Loki answers, distressed.

" The moon, that planet is about to crash into and destroy!" you reply.

"Out of all the apocalypses, saved on that TemPad, this is the worst!" she says.

Dodging a few meteorites, the three of you run.

" No one makes it off here!" she shouts.

"Watch out!" you say pulling Loki away just in time.

" Sorry Madam, I didn't have time to scan the brochure!" he shouts back, the three of you taking cover under a rover

" By the way, I thought you wanted me dead!" he said.

" I don't know where you hid that TemPad, but if you blow up, it blows up and then I blow up-There!" she shouted, pointing to a mining shack.

" So we're a team now ?" Loki says running out.

"Oh god no!"

Suddenly, the both of them get surrounded with golden wisps of magic and you find yourselves inside the shack.

"What did you do?!" The Variant shouts in your face.

" Calm down, I teleported the three of us, into the shack, you're welcome." you reply face straight and voice monotone.

"Oh, Thanks." she says awkwardly before touching your forehead, green magic fizzling out.

You can hear Loki shout at her, but you smirk and say, " Darling take your hands of my forehead, It won't work."

"Why?" she asks, her and Loki looking at you in surprise,

" My mind is too strong, it's been taken over a few times, so I know how to block it. I'm Y/n by the way." you reply.

"Huh, cool." she says before making her way to Loki,

"No way, are you going to try enchanting me!" he says,

"Fine!" she says, unsheathing her katana.

Conjuring twin daggers Loki says, " Look are we really about to do this here? Again?" he asks

" Well, what do you propose instead?" she says

" Oh, I don't know a truce? Listen neither of us is getting of this rock if we can't get that TemPad on!" he replies

"Where do you have it hidden?" she shouts

"In my heart!"

"Well then, I'll cut it out!"

"Nice. very droll, lovely."

You had had enough of their petty bickering.

"All right! Both of you SHUT UP!" you shout gaining their attention.]

" I want to get of of this god-forsaken place as much as you do ok? But none of us are getting out of this place if the two of you keep screaming at each other like little children! SO GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER SO WE CAN HAVE SOME CHANCE OF LEAVING THIS PLACE!" you shout at the end.

The two of them have crossed their arms and look like they're sulking.

" I don't know how to charge a TemPad, I never used one, but I do know, that you need a large power source, and the only way to do that is by getting out of this abandoned mining shack. I've been here before, and there's a town up ahead, if we leave now, we might be able to find a source large enough."

The Variant uncrosses her arms and says, " Alright, a truce."

" A truce." Loki agrees.

" Great, now that you finished making up, we can leave, you say and walk out, the two of them following you.

"I like here." the girl says to Loki.

" I like her too." he agrees looking at you.

" So what's the plan?" Loki asks the Variant, falling behind both of you.

"What Y/n said, there's a town near here, and can you shut up, just because I have to work with you, doesn't mean I want to hear your voice." she shouts back to him.

"Alright, well slow down!"

"What part of imminent death confuses you? and don't call me Variant." she tell him.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not calling some faded photocopy of me Loki." he says

"Good, cause that's not who I am now, I'm Sylvie now."

"Sylvie? Nice name"

" Thank you! I like yours too!" she says smiling.

" Oh good, you changed your name! Brilliant!"

" It's called an alias." she says.

"Not very Loki-like" Loki comments.

" Oh really. what makes a Loki a loki?" you ask

" Independence, Authority, Style." Loki lists out.

" So you naturally went to work for the boring oppressive time-police?" Sylvie pipes in.

" I don't work for them, I'm a consultant."

"Oh, are you now?" you ask smirking.

" Yes." Loki says looking at you.

" You don't know what you want." Sylvie says

" Oh yeah, what about you?" Loki quips back, " Your years-in-the-making plan was to tear the place down, create the ultimate power vaccuum and then walk away? I'd never have done that!" he says, standing back.

" Yeah? Well I'm not you." she replies.

"I like you." you tell Sylvie.

" I like you too." she replies, half-smiling.

Loki looks on, his face a mix of jealousy and disbelief. but who is he jealous of? You or Sylvie?

" Can we get on with this now?" Sylvie says walking away leaving Loki and you alone.

Smiling at him. you reach your hand out to him, "Come on Lokes, let's go, Neither of us are dying today."

His lips quirk up and he takes your hand and both of you walk toward Sylvie, hand-in-hand.

"Brute force is no substitute for diplomacy and guile." Loki tells Sylvie.

" Noted" Sylvie says before kicking the door open, only to be blasted by an energy blast.

Groaning, she turns to face the cabin,

"It's remarkable you ever made it as far as you did." Loki taunts.

"Are you ok?" you mouth to Sylvie.

Nodding she turns her attention to the lady.

" Sorry about that!" Loki says

"Don't be, I enjoyed it." the lady says, still inside the trailer.

" Oh.." he chuckles, " I did too. But I can assure you, despite my acquaintance behaving like an animal, uh we mean you no harm, we're simply weary travellers." he says making you facepalm.

" Sure you are." She replies.

Snooping inside, Loki spies a picture of the lady and her husband, he then casts an illusion to make him look like the husband, before going to the front.

" Hello dear." He says.

" Patrice?" the lady says, face in shock.

Nodding his head and sobbing, he says, " It.. it's been a long time. You're as beautiful as--"

He too get's thrown backwards and this time you audibly groan,

" Ma'am. I'm really sorry what's been happening to you today, but all we want to know is where everybody is, we just want to get out of this place." you say.

" The ark." she replies.

" Um.. what?" you ask, confused.

" The evacuation vessel" she explains.

"Ok, how do we get there?" you ask

" Train station's at the end of town, but you'll never get tickets." she says.

" Okay, thank you very much Ma'am, we'll leave now, and you'll never see us again." you replay and walk over to your partners who look shocked.

"And that's how you do it. Come on, we need to get the train station."

When you reach the train station, you see a huge crown of people waiting in line to board the train.

" How are we going to get in there?" Loki asks

" I can be invisible, so I'm covered." you say

" Is there anything you can't do?" Loki asks, amused.

Apparently I can't move on-

" I suck at mathematics" you shrug and tell him.

Biting his lip and laughing, he shakes head.

" Well, Sylvie we can't fight our way onto that train, we're going to do this my way." saying so, he cast an illusion, now he's wearing the turtleneck uniform, and shit why does he look so good?

" Ok, Y/n? Y/n where are you?" he says suddenly panicking.

" I'm right behind you doofus." you say, now invisible

" How do I look?" he asks Sylvie.

" Like someone with a shit plan." Sylvie says, making you laugh.

" Come on, my legs are hurting!" you say.

" It's a great plan." Loki argues.

"Hmmm." Sylvie hums.

" Just follow my lead." he says, taking her arms and leading her inside.

Why the hell am I feeling jealous? They're basically the same person!

~~( I'm skipping that part, where they get on the train, I hope you don't mind."

"I can't sit, backward on a train." Loki says.

"Well, I never sit my back to a door." Sylvie says

" What there are doors on both sides." he exclaims.

" God! Choose where you want to sit, I'm sitting here." you say, sliding into the empty seat.

Loki immediately sits next to you.

Seeing Sylvie yawn, he says, " Oh, you a bit tired? Feel free to you know, take some rest."

" I can't sleep in a place like this." she answers.

" You can't sleep in a train?" Loki asks.

" I can't sleep around untrustworthy people." she says.

" Oh right, that's us?" Loki whispers.

" Just you." she answers smiling at you.

Scoffing, Loki narrows his eyes at you.

Narrowing your eyes back, you make him laugh.

"But, you feel free to take a nap." she says.

" Nice try."

" I'm not going to waste my time rooting around for the TemPad, when someone taught you fairly decent magic."

" My mother."

You gulp when he mentions Frigga, she reminded you of your own mother, who was shot to death, along with your family.

Sylvie looks around slowly before asking, " What was she like?"

Smiling, Loki says," She was a queen of Asgard, she was good, purely decent."

" Are you sure, she was your mother?"

"Uh, no she's not actually, I was adopted, is that a bit of a spoiler for you? Sorry about that." He says.

"No, I knew I was adopted." she replies.

" What? They told you?"

"Yes. did they not tell you?"

"No!" he says, shocked.

" Hang on a second, tell me about your mother."

" I barely remember her, just blips of a dream at this point." she says, voice low.

" You know, when I was younger, she'd do these bits of magic for me, like turn a flower into a frog or cast fireworks over the water. It all seemed impossible, but she told me that I'd be able to do it too, because I could do anything." He says smiling at the memory.

" I knew Frigga." you say.

Loki turns to look at you, " You-what?"

" I knew Frigga, she was.. she was amazing, accepting and took me in as her own, even though I had been in Asgard for a few days."

" You've been to Asgard?" Loki asks, Sylvie listening.

" Yes, um Mobius didn't tell you the full story. The first time you went to Asgard, Odin made you come back and stay the at the tower a punishment for around a year, I came a few days before you, and the second time you went and were put in the dungeon, I came along. We were actually really good friends." friends my ass.

"Wow, We were friends?" Loki asked.

"Good friends." mmm very good friends

" So what kind of magic did she teach you?" Sylvie asks.

" You wanna see?" Loki says suddenly excited.

He opens his hand, palm up, and fireworks of different colours apper and burst, you remember this, it's what Loki would do to cheer you up.

" Not bad." Sylvie comments.

Closing his hand, the fireworks disappear.

" So, where'd you learn to do the...you knew the thing that you do?"

" I taught myself." Sylvie replies.

" You taught yourself that magic?" you ask

" Yes, I did." she replies.

" What-you just go into their minds and project some sort of illusion?"

" It'd be easier if I just-" she leans forward as if wanting to touch his forehead.

Enchant me, and take the TemPad and leap out of the train, not thank you." he says making you giggle.

" Well then, don't ask! " she asks.

A woman comes up and offers champagne, Loki takes two and gives you one.

" Thank you." you say

" Your welcome." he says leaning in.

" No, thank you." Sylvie says,

"I'll take hers." he says taking the third champagne flute.

" Cheers, to the end of the world." he says and you both drink.

" A pity the old woman chose die, don't you think?"

" She was in love." you say.

" She hated him." he answers.

" Maybe love is hate." Sylvie adds.

Making a face, Loki conjures a paper and a quill, " What was that? Love is hate..." he writes down.

" Oh piss off!" you and Sylvie say at the same time, before looking at each other and chuckling.

Disappearing the paper, he says, " So on the subject of love, is there a lucky beau waiting for you at the end of this crusade?" he asks.

" Yes there is, actually." she replies.

" Oh!" you say.

" Yes, I managed to maintain a long-distance relationship with a postman whilst running across time from one apocalypse to another." she says jokingly

" With charm like that, who could resist you?" Loki says.

" Well, many people are willing in the face of certain doom." she laughs." It was only ever just to keep me going. How about you? You're a prince, must've been would-be-princesses, or perhaps another prince."

Ha ha! Sweetie, darling, if only you knew, I WAS HIS FIANCE!

" A bit of both, I suspect the same as you, but almost always, it was nothing ever...." he says.

" Real." Sylvie finishes.

" Love is mischief, then." she says.

Looking up, he says, " No, love is..something I need to have another drink about."

" You do realize, that we're about to hijack the power source to a civilization's only hope?"

Shit. You didn't realize that.

" I do." you and Loki say at the same time.

" It's not going to be easy. We should rest." she says

" All right, you relax your way, I'll relax mine." he says

" Fair enough." you add, conjuring up your MP3 and putting the buds in your ears.

"Men trærne danser og fossene stanserNår hun synger, hun synger kom hjemMen trærne danser og fossene stanser,When she sings, she sings come home!When she sings, she sings come home!"

You and Sylvie wake up to loud singing, looking to your left, you see Loki singing and dancing, clearly drunk.

" Hey!" Sylvie waves.

Waving back, he continues singing and then shushes everyone.

"I stormsvarte fjell

Jeg vandrer alene

Over isbreer tar jeg meg frem

I eplehagen står møyen den vene

Og synger

Når kommer du hjem?"

You remember this, a song you heard Thor and him sing, and you loved it.

The song picks up and Loki starts clapping and dancing, making you smile.

" To Sylvie everybody!" he cheers.

Finishing his drink, he throws the glass down, shouting, " ANOTHER!".

Just like how Thor would do it, every time he finished a drink he liked.

As soon as he finishes, Sylvie and you, walk over and pull him to the side.

" You're drunk." you say

"No, I'm just full, but bear in mind I'm very full. Now, I need you to try this, it pairs very nicely with the Figgy Port, who's got the Figgy Port? You have to take my word on the Figgy port.-"

" Where's your uniform? We're meant to be laying low."

" Nobody cares, it's the end of the world!" he says

" I think something's happening." you say.

" Yes, uh that planet" he says pointing up, " is about to crash into us."

" Don't be an ass, I saw some people looking at you weirdly." Sylvie says.

" Huh?" he says dropping the dish, " When did you get so paranoid?"

" It must have started when I spent my entire life running from the omniscient fascists you and Y/n work for."

" It's a shame to let that go to waste." Loki says , looking down at the food he dropped.

" Hey, change of subject, I thought of an answer to your question! Love is a dagger." He says his dagger appearing," It's a weapon, to be wielded far away or up close, you can see yourself in it, it's beautiful, until it makes you bleed, but ultimately when you reach for it," he continues, turning the dagger so the handle faced Sylvie, who tries to hold it, but it disappears.

"It isn't real." she finishes.

" Yeah." he says looking at her.

" So love's an imaginary dagger?" you ask

" Doesn't make sense does it?" he enquires.

" Nope, terrible metaphor." Sylvie says.

" Damn I thought I had something." he replies

Suddenly a door opens and a few guards walk in.

" That's him." an old man points at Loki.

" Sir, may I see your tickets?" the guards asks.

" Tickets! Yes of course!" he raises his hand, only for fireworks to blast out of them making you groan.

The guards take hold of Loki and Sylvie, not coming to you because they didn't see you.

Taking a glass bottle, you smash it over the head of the guard holding Sylvie, causing him to faint.

Loki kicks the knee of the guard holding him and pushes him away, elbowing the other in the head.

As everyone runs out, two more guards come in and start fighting.

With a blast of magic, you blast a guard out the window and Loki does the same, green and gold mixing together.

One of the guards start choking Sylvie and hold her against a wall.

Taking a dagger, Loki aims carefully, throws the dagger and ....misses, almost hitting Sylvie,

" What kind of a throw is that?" you said.

Sighing he turns to see another guard trying to fight him, " Oh will you stop it?" he says, kicking him out the window, " Bye!" he waves.

Sylvie manages to get out of the guard's grip and knock him out.

Suddenly two guards grab Loki and throw him out the window.

You and Sylvie look at each other, nod and she jumps out.

The guards them turn to you.

" Boys, you don't have to worry about me." you blast them with a burst of gold before jumping out.

" So, the TemPad's gone?" you asked.

" Yes, all because of this hedonistic jerk-ass clown!" Sylvie shouts, starting to breath faster.

" Woah, Sylvie breathe, go to the side and take a breath, let all of it out."

Nodding she goes to the side, where she then screams so loudly, her magic blasts some rocks nearby. She then goes and sits down on a rock.

You and Loki look at each other before going to sit beside her, one on either side.

" Did the uh, scream make you feel better?" Loki asks.

"It did, you should try it sometime." she says sarcastically.

You can't help but recall at how Loki screamed when Frigga died.

" What now?" you ask

" I don't know, he broke the TemPad." she says

" Well-" Loki begins

" -and that planet is about to crash into us." she continues.

" Well yes but,-"

" But what?" she urges

" But the entire moon is destroyed, right?" he asks

" Yeah, and everyone on it is killed." she says

" Including us." he says.

" Including us." she finishes.

" Wait, what about the ark?" you ask.

" The ark is destroyed before it takes off." she answers

" Never had us on it." you say.

Scoffing, she says, " So what? We hijack the ark and make sure it gets off this moon?"

" Sounds like a good plan." Loki says

"Okay." Sylvie says getting up, leaving you and Loki looking at each other.

"I did not think that would work." you say.

" Well it did." he says getting up and walking after her.

" Okay fine, you want to know how enchantment works." Sylvie says, " I have to make physical contact and grab hold of their mind."

" How?" Loki asks.

" It depends on the mind, most are easy and I can overtake instantly, others the stronger ones, it get's tricky, I'm in control, but they're there too. In order to preserve the connection, I have to create a fantasy from their memories, that young soldier from the TVA, her mind was messed up, everything clouded, I had to pull a memory from hundred's of years prior, before she even fought for them." Sylvie explains

" Wait, what?" you ask, " What'd you just say? Before she joined the TVA?"

" Yeah, she was just a regular person on Earth." Sylvie says.

" But, Mobius said that, everyone who works for the TVA were created by the timekeepers." Loki said.

" That's ridiculous, they're all variants, just like us, I don't know about Y/n though." Sylvie says.

" They don't know that!" you say,

'All ticketed passengers-"

" That's our ride." Sylvie says, all of you running towards the town.

" Do we trust each other?" Sylvie asks.

" Yes, and you can." Loki answers.

" Y/n?"

" Yes." you answer.

" Good, cause this is gonna suck." she says

The crowd is then filled with people who are trying to get on board.

" They're gonna let all these people die?" Loki says in horror.

" We're gonna have to get on there and make sure it takes off!" Sylvie says.

" How?" Loki asks.

" We go around!" she says, and you and Loki run towards her.

He holds her back and runs with her, and you feel it again.

NOT THE TIME TO BE FEELING JEALOUS

Taking a deep breath, you teleport to where they are, not wanting to lose them in the crowd.

The moment you reach them, meteorite crashes into a building, making all of you fly backwards.

" Y/n?! Are you alright?" Loki asks.

" I'm fine." you say shortly, " Where's Sylvie?"

" Here." he says pulling her up and running inside a bar.

You run after them, to see a man pulling Sylvie's cloak off her and about to kick her back, when you grab him by his neck and pull him backwards, kneeing his back, making him fall and shout in pain.

Running out of the bar, all of you find a place behind a garbage dump, to take a breather, before running again.

You're almost there, when you see a building about to fall on all of you.

" I've got it!" Loki says, using his magic to make the building go back to where it was.

" Come on! We can still make it!" you say and run with Sylvie, Loki following.

You've just reached, when a meteorite crashes through the ark, destroying it.

All hope lost, you turn back and walk out, Sylvie following.

Shit.
