grace shook her head. " no need to apologise. i suppose i've never really stopped to think of it that way. you are right though. all sorts of people come in here to get their caffeine fix and you just never know what they could be thinking or doing. like that little old lady there... " she nodded towards the woman sipping at her tea. " you think she's a secret gymnast or something? or a hoarder? " grace teased. not to make fun of the man but to join in... in her own way. " what sorta journalist? " she questioned, intrigued. she nodded her head. " i'm a firefighter and sometimes coming here helps me decompress a bit, you know? take my mind off things. " @tccsweetfcrmc

" yeah , yeah , that's it ! all these people come from different places and have different lives and probably most of them have crazy stories but they all meet here at one point . glad to see someone gets what i'm saying ." an excited grin light up his face , as he glanced at the woman that he seemed to have started a conversation with now . she did get his point and for once , that made him feel not that strange . he enjoyed watching the humans and their daily lives and simply being among them , even if he was aware that he was never going to be one of them in the slightest . they didn't know that , he did , all the same . " oh , no . clearly , she's either a spy or a writer , just observing everyone around her to get just the right amount of inspiration that she needs , in order to finish her next book . " a laugh was given at that , as he was glad that he seemed to have found good company and someone that did get it now . "print journalist , but i do a little bit of this and that every now and then , " it wasn't as if he could tell the other what his actual job was , could he ? "that's .. incredible! helping people too ? how long have you been a firefighter for ?" / @daydrcamings

"i'm not sure i'm giving you enough. without you i'd probably still be trying to conquer worlds. it was your friendship that changed me." loki argued shaking his head. no he wasn't going to say that everything good was his doing, that his change of heart was spontaneous. "good. i have a feeling i'm going to need that." he smiled at his friend. he couldn't help but chuckle at how mobius' words sounded familiar to the old tva motto. "okay now that is a lie. i may not have a completely frozen heart but i wouldn't say i'm a teddy bear either." he shook his head. even though he was a bit annoyed, he couldn't keep himself from grinning. "no, no at least not as far as i'm aware. renslayer is here though. she doesn't seem to remember much. had no idea who i was or you. remembers her husband unfortunately." he rolled his eyes. "they're close? is that how she got the throne? she seduced him?" oh he had to do something to change that. get the throne away from her. he wasn't sure who to give it to but it needed to go to someone else. "i've tried. i... i'm just not sure how much she believes me." @tccsweetfcrmc

" loki , " shaking his head , with a little knowing smile , as if to say that the man in front of him truly had no idea of the effect that he could have on other people . on him . " you already give me enough just by being here , you know ? and besides , you're really giving me way too much credit . you did all of this yourself . i just helped . " as far as he knew , that had been precisely what had happened . he had been there along for the ride , but it had been loki that had made all of that happen . wasn't it? " i'd say it's somewhere in the middle . leaning towards being a softie ? maybe ? no ? alright , i'll stop . " holding his hands up , as if to say that he would indeed . but how could he , when this was the side of loki that he had wanted to see all along ? be it as it may , he was just glad that his best friend was here now and safe . alive . to see loki again had been all that he had ever wanted and apparently , that had come true now . " her husband? that .. ah . yeah . right . forgot that . yet another lie , it seems , " he bit down on his cheek . was that better than showing that it hurt to know that his once former best friend had been keeping more than just one lie from him ? maybe so . a shake of his head . " no , no . it's nothing like that . they fought together and grew close . from what i remember , nearly died for each other at one point . they're family . " how it had seemed to him , a player that had simply watched it from the screens of the tva and knew not much else . " hey , we can work on that together , alright ?" / @bejcwcled

the hesitance showed perhaps as clear as day in his face . it was not .. it was not coriolanus ? now , that had not been something that he had seen coming . his old friend would have been more than glad to lie about all of that but his heart was telling him that it was not him . " i thought that you were someone else . someone i used to know . my apologies , " clearing his throat at that , as an apology . " you know him ?" / @bejcwcled

" oh , that is quite the relief . i'm happy to hear it ." accident or not , sejanus did not wish to be left thinking that he had hurt someone . it was a reality that he did not wish to focus on . when he heard the other's words , he found himself letting out a sigh of relief , seeing as that had been the answer that he had hoped to hear . " thank you for asking , " offering the other what he hoped would show as a thankful smile . " but not really . i've ran into some people from my past . it's been .. troubling so far . " / @furyfms

" woah, woah, woah. giving me away too much credit there . i was just .. doing that fun thing that some of us try sometimes, you know? speaking from the heart . it does wonders . you should try it sometimes ," it would have been impossible, then, to stop the corners of his mouth from curling into a grin . happy to be here ? that wouldn't have begun to describe it . what could have done the situation justice would have been to compare it to a huge weight being lifted off his chest , as soon as he had realised that maybe , if he were lucky enough , he'd never have to say goodbye to loki again . " but i guess that what i'm trying to say is .. you're welcome . got your back . always . " the irony of that last bit having been said as part of the motto of the tva wasn't lost on him and so , mobius kept his voice to being just a simple whisper . " my lips are sealed . i won't ever tell anyone that the god of mischief is a complete softie at heart , don't worry . will take secret with me to my grave . " a zipping motion was made over his lips , but it was all in good fun . if anything? this was the most at home he had felt , ever since he had been brought to this strange , strange town . " damn it . is she here? we wouldn't want her doing it again without knowing what it means . either her or renslayer . " thinking about his former friend was still something that had turned out to be quite upsetting to him . wasn't it ? it seemed as it was . " king valkyrie ? yeah , i heard about her . she and your brother became petty close , " eyebrow raised at that . " and have you tried talking to him about it ? doing that .. speaking from the heart thing was i was just talking about ?" / @bejcwcled

Lucy Gray paused as she heard her name being called, turning toward the sound of the voice. “Sejanus Plinth,” she murmured, feeling a frozen drop of anxiety fall into the bit of her stomach, sending shivers up her spine. She smiled at him. They had not known each other well back in Twelve — as far as she could recall, anyway; her memories of returning home after the Games were still spotty at best — but there had always been kindness in his eyes. As there was now. “I ended up here after…” She paused, a slight frown pulling her eyebrows together. “After…sometime after the Games, I guess. I don’t really remember what happened after that. I know I got home. I know I saw…” But it seemed wrong, almost blasphemous, to say Coriolanus’s name to Sejanus right now. “Are you…are you alright, Sejanus?” @tccsweetfcrmc

a smile was given at her reaction , as he straightened his shoulders , feeling a little bit relieved . it would have been hell to explain to her who he was and how they would have known of each other , had she not remembered . " you remember me . i wasn't sure if you would . there aren't a lot of things worth remembering from back then , are there ? " mouth twisting into a sad smile , as his eyes found his way down to the floor . he could remember how excited he had been back then . to start anew , with his best friend by his side . how it had all so quickly gone down the drain , as he realised that he had been stepping into the belly of the beast all along . nodding . he too did not like to say that name out loud , so he was glad that she had not . " we never spoke . not really , but i say you play a couple of times back in twelve . you and the covey . it was absolutely beautiful . you were even better when surrounded by your family , " of course , she had been excellent during the games too . the best voice that he had ever heard ? he thought so . looking down , a shrug was given . " can anyone truly be alright , after that ? he got me killed . for nothing . i thought we were friends . i thought that he cared and all along , he was planning on betraying me . just wish that i knew why , you know ? " just thinking about it made his chest hurt . / @thefinalgxrl

" don't even worry about it. it is a nice night, i only wish i'd brought a warmer jacket, you know ? " daisy couldn’t help but smile at the way the man rambled on with himself. she had been there herself once, when she was younger ; lost, looking for something, maybe not even sure what that something was. his energy was almost contagious, a stark contrast to the quiet, cold streets around them. " yeah, i think so. just trying to figure things out, new city, new life, i'm sure you know how it is. " london wasn't her home, but it seemed she didn't get a choice in the matter now, so she was making the most of it. " how about you ? you seem like you got your own thing to figure out. "

"it means the world to me to hear you say that. i... i wanted to say goodbye before but i knew if i tried... you'd never have let me do it. it was hard enough making the decision without you or sylvie..." he shook his head unable to finish the thought. he wished there had been another option, an option that hadn't left him all alone but he had to do the selfless thing, the thing best for the multiverse. "i'm not the biggest fan of them but reuniting with your best friend seems like an appropriate occasion." the hug also served as proof that mobius was actually here, that someone wasn't using an illusion to mess with him. "not necessarily, not if it means kang can take back control. he's here, mobius. i can't promise you that. if i have to keep you safe." he bit his lip hesitating over asking mobius the favor he needed. "i do need your help with something. thor's here. he's mad at me. he thinks my death on the timeline was faked, that i'm that loki. i need you to help prove who i am, that my story is true." @tccsweetfcrmc

" yeah , they really do . that was .. that was pretty damn close , like .. damn it . " clark's heart was still racing , just from the scare . that had been close . he knew that he would have given away his powers if he had to , just to save the other person . everyone in that street and then more could have gotten to know just who superman was . wasn't that a scary thought ? to him , who had fought to keep his normality ? yes . " giving anythin' away ? what .. what would i have to give away ? just a way , at the right place , at the right time , i think . " a second passed and then another , as he glanced at the man next to him . did he know something ? no, he couldn't . not possibly . " take it that you'd jump at the chance to save them too ? that's .. good . " / @furyfms

" sorry . i was just saying .. you know .. it's a place where everyone comes together? so many people with different stories , different goals , different lives . at one point during their day , they stop here . it's quite something . " at least , to him , he was . a part of him was well aware that he was not one of them and never would be . was that where his desire to get to know them had come from ? he didn't know . " i'm a journalist , " a shrug was given , as if that could explain the rest . " it's what i do . " part of what he did but he didn't think he wanted to talk about the rest . " also attempting to get away from your thoughts ? yeah , i think that i do get that . " / @daydrcamings

.

" i could say the same thing ! that was .. stupid and brave and incredibly smart and .. i'm proud of you . thought i'd never get to say that so .... yeah . get the emotional stuff out , you know ? " had there been anything he had hated , it had been the fact that he had not been able to say goodbye to loki . his friend's decision had saved all of them but he found his chest tightening whenever he thought that he'd never get to see him again . that he'd never be able to say that he was glad that he hadn't been wrong about them . as loki's arms wrapped around him , he did the same thing right back . " woah , okay . thought you hated hugs ? woah , we're ... hugging . we're huggers now . that's great . " but he held him back just as tightly , only pulling back as they did so . " that's probably for the best . i mean .. we need you and i need you and we all do and .. huh , yeah . i mean .. if anything needs to be done ? we'll figure it out together . no more self-sacrificing , okay ? get some of that ol' loki back .
