Corpses covered the war-torn ground, a grotesque mix of Chitauri and Outriders with the worst of the fallen – his friends and family. So very like the vision gifted him by Wanda, the broken, bloodied bodies of those he loved.

“Please tell me you’re not about to dole out commandments.”

“Rules aren’t particularly my scene.”

That made Tony snort. He dared a few steps closer. “I have so many questions.”

Astarion grabbed an unlit candle and threw it at the naked man. It bounced off his arm.

“Ow,” said Gale.

“You can’t be real!”

“So how are we going to fix it?”

“You’re not,” said Loki, setting papers down. “I chose to interrupt that timeline. He has a family. I’ve no right to let whatever that was continue.”

Sylvie folded her arms. “You’re the god of mischief. You’re supposed to be egging this sort of thing on. It’s time to take what you want.”

“I’m more than that now. No, not more. Just different. Stark isn’t a plaything. I can’t simply drop myself into the story and change it for my own ends.”

“Yes, you can.”

“Don’t tempt me, Sylvie.”

“That’s what we do.”

Astarion shuddered on crossing the temple’s threshold. It was a place all were invited, so there was no struggle to enter, and yet he could feel the prickle of distaste from the gods of light. His presence was only half welcome here. Ingrates. After all I did for this city. Ensuring he kept his distance from any errant holy symbols, the vampire spawn stumbled before the towering statue of Mystra, Goddess of Magic and once lover of Gale Dekarios. There was no one else in the temple save its usual guardian, Vicar Humbletoes. Astarion didn’t think he would have cared if a legion of the Fist were here, too.

“The Loom was a machine He Who Remains, or Kang as he has also been known, created to contain the Sacred Timeline. When his death freed the multiverse, the Loom was not designed to cope with more than one branch. We tried so hard to expand the Loom to compensate, but—”

“You had an infinite scaling problem.”

Mobius set his fork down and gave Tony a hard stare. “Are you shitting me right now?”

“It’s nice to see you still have deeper wells of self-pity to drown yourself in.”

Astarion turned to the source of the dry, elderly voice.

“You little bitch, I knew you could speak Common.”

“What the hell was that back there?” Tony snapped. “What kind of sick game are you playing? Are you and Beck in this together?”

“What? What are you talking about? You saw he was using holograms.”

“Loki, you don’t let anyone do anything to you that isn’t part of your own damn design. I’ve seen you. You play Thor. You play all of us. You held my life in your hands and you gave Natasha’s back. You’ve hopped around time itself like it’s your little toy and you’re telling me you couldn’t have broken out of there before I walked into the trap? I don’t buy it.”

Loki picked himself up. The rain picked up, too. He glared at Tony, which reminded him how glad he was that he was wearing a suit of armour. “If only I were quite so capable as you imagine me. Easy to see me as the great mastermind of every plot. What reason would I have for putting your child in danger? It’s absurd you’d think I would intentionally look weak enough to let you save me.”

“Your last dealings with humans had you swatting us like flies. I’d hardly call that incentive to ask your advice on how to handle us.”

“I wouldn’t be here if Coulson didn’t believe my offer had merit.”

“Maybe you’re here just to keep you away from everyone else. Maybe we’re humouring you just like you’re humouring us.”

“They’re just the icing on the cake. You laid the groundwork of your own destruction by inviting Loki into your home. We have been waiting, begging, for you to slip up and show your true self, and Mysterio will show the world the truth. You would risk anyone and everything to control us all. The both of you conspired to make you into the hero you are now. Loki, the perfect monster to elevate you to an Avenger. Who’s to say Thanos was even real? Where was Loki when Earth was attacked all over again? When half the universe vanished? Convenient that you survived, all so that you could supposedly invent time travel and become our saviour. Convenient that he returns to bask alongside you in your glory. There never was a Thanos. He was an illusion you both created. We see you now.”

“You’re insane. You actually think people will buy this bullshit?”

“The truth,” Beck insisted, “and you’re going to ensure it. You’re going to hard reset that suit and wipe everything it’s recorded, because I know it has. You’re going to leave every piece of equipment in here intact and you won’t do a thing to any of us.”

Tony’s repulsors whined as they recharged, brought up to aim at Beck. “Why, pray tell?”

“Because we have a sniper on your daughter right now.”
