~Y/n pov~
"Aren't you gonna tell me not to kick the door in?" Sylvie asked.
"It never made a difference."
"Well, if you think it's a bad idea. I prefer you to speak your mind."
"Just go for it." I told her.
She nodded and was about to kick the door down when it opened by itself.
We cautiously entered, looking around for someone, but there was no one.
"Hey y'all."
I almost had a heart attack as Miss Minutes suddenly appeared in front of us.
Loki and Sylvie drew weapons towards her.
"Welcome to the Citadel at the end of time. Congratulations. Y'all had an awfully long journey to get here. He's impressed." Miss Minutes exclaimed.
"Who's impressed?"
"He who remains."
"And who is he?" Loki asked.
"He created all and he controls all. At the end, it is only He who remains."
"Sounds a bit ominous." I commented.
"And he wants to offer you a deal." Miss Minutes continued, "He's been making a few creative adjustments, and he's worked it out so we can reinsert y'all back into the timeline in a way that won't disrupt things."
"What do you mean by that?" I asked.
"The TVA can keep doing it's viral work and y'all can live the lives you've always wanted."
"And what have we always wanted?"
"To change for the better and to live a happy life. You can have the throne too if you want it."
"That doesn't solve the problem. It only solves it for us." I stated.

"He who remains." Loki said.
"Not for much longer." Sylvie added.
We walked towards the lift.
It made a ding noise and the door opened.
We all raised our weapons.
A man was sat there.
Is that him?
He got up and walked out of the lift.
"This is wild." He chuckled, holding his hands up, "The two of you.. same person.. and you, Y/n."
He seemed stunned but it also seemed like he was expecting us.
Miss Minutes told us he did all that planning so he must've been expecting us.
Was this supposed to happen? But that's not possible... right?
"He who remains." I stated.
"He who remains." The man repeated, "She still calls me that? Creepy, right? But.. I like it. Come on. Come on, let's talk in my office."
We all got on the lift, still pointing our weapons at him.
We were all huddled in the corner.
When the lift stopped, we stepped out and made slow steps into his office.
He who remains was over by his desk, pouring us drinks for some reason.
"Please, take a seat." He told us.
We all slowly took a seat.
He who remains sat on his chair behind the desk.
~*~
"Been a long journey for you, hasn't it?" He who remains started, "Lot of running, lot of pain."
"I don't think you quite understand the situation. You've lost." Loki announced, "We found you."
"Duh. Of course you did."
So I was right. He was expecting us.
Was this supposed to happen?
Sylvie stood up and swung her sword at the man.
He quickly dodged, "So, we'd still doing that, hmm?"
He who remains grabbed a file and placed it on his desk.
He routed through it for a few seconds and then placed a few pieces of paper in front of us.
"You can't kill me because I already know what's going to happen."
The paper had everything we had said and done since we got here written on it.
"It's a parlour trick." Loki stated.
"No." I frowned, "You've been expecting us, haven't you? Was this meant to happen?"
He who remains smirked, "Wow, you caught on fast. This was meant to happen. That's exactly why I can get out of the way just before you kill me."
~*~
He made a little clay figure and showed us a different version of himself.
Then, he explained about the TVA.
Everything. We knew everything.
Sylvie was having none of it.
She charged past Loki and cut the man's head clean off.
He was gone.
"Why did you do that?" Loki exclaimed.
"Was there really any other way? It doesn't matter if there was because what's done is done." I stated.
"I don't know if I trust you." Sylvie smiled coyly.
"What?"
"Sylvie, do to really want to do this?"
She hesitated for a second before nodding.
The blonde came towards me and pressed a light kiss to my forehead.
"Goodbye."
"What?"
Before I could do anything, a portal opened behind us and Sylvie pushed both of us into it.
~*~
We were back in the TVA.
I grabbed Loki's hand, "C'mon, we have to do something."
He nodded, "You're right. Let's go."
This whole thing was a mess.
We walked down the corridors.
I saw Mobius in front of one of the screens.
"That's, what, sixty three new branches in this unit alone?" Mobius stated, "At this point, how are we gonna stop it?"
"We can't." Loki yelled, "It's done, Mobius. We made a terrible mistake."
"What's done?"
"We freed the timeline." I replied, "We found him beyond the storm. A Citadel at the end of time. He's terrifying. He planned everything."
"He's seen everything. He knows everything." Loki added, "Someone is coming. Someone dangerous."
"Take it easy. You're an analyst, right?"
"Mobius, what are you talking about?" I was stunned.
"Who are you? What's you're name?"
This wasn't our universe.
What the hell is going to happen now?
