Chapter 12
Steve left. Sylvie was bored. Besides, she began to feel hungry. Sylvie was tired and hungry. She couldn't sleep because of the hammer, though her eyes were sticky. It was also starting to dawn. A new day has come. Where was Loki? So long ago, she had eaten Alfheim soup. She had to admit that vacation with Loki spoiled her. Previously, she ate just anything and could go without food for a long time. She used to steal food or money so she could eat in restaurants. They had the best dishes while on vacation with Loki. Sylvie had breakfast waffles with maple syrup, a bowl of strawberries, and buttered toasts. There was a variety of soups, meats and vegetables for dinner. Sylvie loved roast chicken and chips. Usually, Loki and Sylvie ate a lot of ice cream too. Sylvie liked the blend of four types of ice cream the most: Nutella, Strawberry, Blueberry and Lemon. Loki usually ate vanilla frosted ice cream with chocolate sauce with grapes and nuts. They always ate ice cream when they watched Disney movies.
They started with the classics - The Snow White.
Sylvie has watched most of the Disney movies herself. She never had company. Watching a movie with Loki was fun.
A mirror and the Evil Queen appeared on the screen. They watched in silence. Before their eyes flashed the story of a neglected princess who was sentenced to death by stepmother. It somehow struck both of them. They were both abandoned to death by Laufey. Only the appearance of the dwarfs relaxed the atmosphere. Loki changed shape every now and then and was every dwarf. He also started fooling around and singing the song of the dwarfs. Sylvie started to laugh. She shouldn't have do it.
"So you can laugh. I was already afraid that I would never hear you laugh," Loki said.
"Shut up" Sylvie attacked him with her sword, and Loki ducked and pulled out his daggers.
They hit each other with blows for a while. It wasn't really a fight. More fun, typical for Asgardian kids. They finally stopped. Sylvie won, but she had suspicion that Loki intentionally allowed her to win. They continued watching the movie. The rock was struck by lightning, and the Evil Queen was killed.
"Finally he came in handy," Loki sighed with a sad smile on his lips.
"Who he came in handly?" Sylvie asked.
"Whatever," Loki replied.
The next movie was Cinderella. During the fairy godmother's performance, Loki standed on the coffee table and started singing her song. And he covered the screen. Sylvie tried him catch. But he caught her in a hug, and then they both landed on the floor, overturning the table.
"What's going on here? Are you fighting or what? Because I really have valuable furniture" Owen appeared in the room.
"We're not fighting. Loki's a clown again," Sylvie snorted.
"Loki" Owen sighed.
"Don't be so radical, I finally conjured you the best jet ski on the this planet," Loki replied.
"Maybe jet ski is the best. It's just a pity it only works if I give a compliment about you," Owen replied.
"Oh it's just an innocent trick. After all, I deserve a lot of compliments," Loki smirked cheekily.
"You deserve compliments and more." Owen turned serious.
Owen still blamed himself. He must have apologized to Loki fifty times, until Loki forbade him to do so, or he would take offense at him.
Sylvie didn't understand Loki's behavior at the time. But now, she does. Loki tried to make them have a good time. She and Owen. Again the mask of the harmless God of Mischief. Just to cheer them up and stop them brooding. Sylvie that her life, despite taking revenge, does not matter anymore, and that Owen should stop to worry that he was treating Loki so badly when he was still Agent Mobius. On top of that, there were billions of years of propaganda and a shattered mind. Loki and Sylvie fixed the memory of variants. They couldn't fix the trauma. Again, Loki was acting like an idiot. To cheer them up. Loki couldn't make bad memories go away. But he made Sylvie and Owen feel better despite this emotional baggage.
Sylvie broke away from her fond memories. The facts were that Loki was still gone. Did they capture him too? Was he hurt? Did these agents do something to Peter? Why did Steve leave her so quickly when she talked about Loki's right to tesseract? How was she going to get out of this? How to save Loki and Peter if they got caught too? But they shouldn't catch them. Loki had Infinity Stones with him. He would definitely used them. What if they knocked him out?
"I'm fed up! I'm tired, I'm hungry and Loki is still gone!" she screamed out of frustration.
"I'm afraid I can't help you being tired Miss Sylvie and you are suffering from the lack of your companion. However, I can offer you something to eat, "said the foreign voice.
Sylvie looked around. She saw no one. She heard no footsteps. Where was that voice coming from?
"Who you are?" Sylvie asked.
"My name is Jarvis. I am artificial intelligence created by Tony Stark and I run the entire tower. I am also supposed to look after the people who are guests in the tower," replied Jarvis. Artificial intelligence? Like Miss Minutes? This scared Sylvie. Cameras. microphones, no privacy. Now she knew why they had burst into the room so quickly as she had started to control Natasha. They watched.
We always watch.
Prune variant!
Reset!
Look for a variant, she couldn't have gone far!
The white walls turned beige and orange.
The Time Keepers.
The terrifying predestination. No control. No chaos. No free will.
She didn't hear Jarvis's voice.
Her mind was stuck among the remains of TVA that cast a shadow over her life.
