I hated my life. Sometimes a person wants to be someone else...looks at others and thinks...why can't I be someone else?

I remember when I was 7...I used to go with my friend Claudia to her house. We did our homework, then there was a delicious dinner cooked by her mother, and then we played until the evening. I always thought then, why can't there be something like this in my house? Why doesn't my mom do this?

In my house there were only arguments about money and debts.

I was a bullied child, many times I thought about suicide.

Loki suddenly came into my life.

I met him very late... when I was 18 my father died. Then I was skipping school a lot in that time...I went to the cinema. I didn't like superhero movies, but it was popular. The first MCU movie I went to was Captain Marvel. I was alone in the cinema room because I was there during the hours when people are at school or at work.

I didn't enjoy the movie, but overall it was about getting through another day at the time.

The next movie was Endgame....

I went to Endgame knowing nothing! Having only watched one movie and only knowing Spider-Man from cartoon!

I sat through the whole movie trying to understand what was happening on the screen... I didn't even notice Loki then, it was a short scene, I was trying to understand the movie... I just missed him then.

When the movie ended...I knew what I had to do...watch the previous movies to understand what was happening on the screen.

I haven't watched the MCU movies in chronological order. I didn't even know what the correct chronology was.

I first saw him in The Avengers.

A young girl who doesn't have a kind soul... hating to look at herself in the mirror, constantly tormented by bad people who are her ''family''.

And I watch the handsome Loki kill the Shield agents.

I loved him at first sight.

He was so strong, handsome, ruthless. I didn't care what the characters thought...

I was interested in politics, but I had no connections to ever try. Add my social anxiety, my family's bad opinion (you can't handle it!)...I've never tried. But I read, listened to lectures and podcasts. I've always liked history. I learned about corruption, incompetence, lack of respect for human rights... I quickly decided that Loki would be a better ruler than human rule (funny that subsequent films confirmed my arguments... Hydra actually ruled the world in 2012).

I loved Loki with all my heart.

I watched the rest of his videos, read metas, analyses, fanfictions.... Then I watched the series.... Personally, I wanted to rip Mobius and Sylvie apart for treating Loki. Add Kevin Feige and all MCU for doing it to Loki. I loved him with all my heart...but there was a sadness in my heart that even if he were real...he would never look at me. I was fat, with pimples on my face... I lived my love for him... he was the only meaning of my life... a bright spot in a dark life with no prospects. And suddently....I woke up here...in MCU.

Here is my story...

Chapter Text

I woke up in a strange bed. It was comfortable, very comfortable and nice. At the same time...I was wearing a short nightgown....I usually avoid wearing such things because of my body embarrassment. But my body was also different... slimmer. Normally anyone would think they were dreaming. But not me. In my dreams, I've never been so sharp, so lucid. And now... I felt real. Truly.

I slowly opened my eyes, watching my hair on the pillow...it was black. They were blonde the day before. My arms were slimmer, milky white. No blemishes, moles, short hairs as usual. Other people would have gone crazy, but I was curious.I turned to the other side of the bed.

I saw him.

Loki was sitting in an armchair reading a book. It was a bit like the scene in Dark World where he was sitting in his cell reading during a dungeon fight. He immediately noticed my movement...of course he did. He was so handsome... He was wearing an Avengers suit...I should have been thinking about what I was doing here, what was going on... but all I was thinking was that he was here... and what I looked like.

"Well, good morning" Loki said casually, he set his book down and stood up on to get a better look at me. I stared at him for a moment.

''Good morning'' I said calmy, my voice... it was different. More sweet. I didn't like my previous voice. I'm sure others in my position would be a little more panicked, demanding answers...but me...I wanted to make a good impression on him. I wanted to be polite and kind. Because no one has ever been like that to Loki in the movies and the show.

"How'd you sleep?" he asked. Loki tilted his head to the side as he spoke, he was a little closer now but was still keeping a safe distance between us. He was very calm and as if he was trying to be harmless?

I used to hear him mocking, shouting, even what he was saying to Sylvie or Mobius... it wasn't like this. I've never heard him use that tone of voice. He was the most ''nice'' in his show...but even that wasn't like that tone of voice. I was also trying to understand the situation, I was in a strange bed, in a strange room, in a strange body.I had to find out what was going on...but I had to do it delicately.

''Very good, thank you'' I told to him.

"Did you have any dreams?" Loki asked curiously. His look was soft and he had a kind smile. It was so odd...it was fitting more to Thomas Sharpe, other character which was played by Tom Hiddleston. Not to Loki. He never had such smile. Loki was getting a bit closer now but wasn't in personal space yet. He moved his hand up to brush his hair back behind his ear and his eyes were locked on me with curiosity and a hint of something more.

''No... I haven't had any dreams.'' Except for the one that's happening right now... I leaned back against the pillows. I looked at the room I was in. It was very luxurious. It was large bedroom set with light furniture and light pink walls. Some books and a couple plants in the corner, a large window with pink curtains, vanity with many lady things - fans, jewellery, cosmetics... Pink ottoman and three white doors.

"That's a shame... usually dreams are interesting, even if they are completely random" Loki spoke thoughtfully. I didn't understand why he was asking... and what was actually going on... I took a breath and had to... had to dare to ask him.

I just have to do it gently. I sighed and asked "Where am I?"

"My home," he replied. This time it was more like what I knew from the movies. He had an expression similar to when Dr. Selvig mentioned Thor. It was sharp and defensive. But after a while it disappeared. His face was blank and calm again. Loki stood there in front of me with a curious look as he waited to see my reaction.

"And what am I doing here?" I asked. Loki pursed his lips at that.

''I kidnapped you'' he said quickly.

Chapter Text

I looked at him surprised.

His face now reminded me of the time he had talked to Frigga by Odin's bedside. I've watched clips with him so many times that I almost know his facial expressions by heart. And now he had that expression. His arms were crossed and his attitude said:''Challenge me''.

"Is that a problem for you? That I kidnapped you?" he asked. He gave me his famous smirk. My heart raced at this... He was so handsome, so attractive... and I...my look...but...

I was in another body, kidnapped by him.

I started to think if Loki appeared in my world...I'd rather have my previous body. Since I'm in another body.... I thought about the isekai stories I'd read many times. To wake up in a different body and have a completely different life. Although it was usually caused by death...and I don't remember dying. I've had some slight suicide attempts...but I never did it. I just... went to sleep and woke up here.

''Why you kidnapped me?'' I ask. I had to figure out what was going on, who I was... It didn't remind me of any movie scene. Although Loki is wearing an Avengers outfit...so it's 2012 I guess? But there was no such scene in the movie. It was the outfit he wore for most of the movie...not the gold armor from Germany or the end of the movie. Does that mean we're somewhere in between? Something the filmmakers didn't show? I began to worry about what would happen to me when the Avengers arrested him. Maybe I can stop it... warn him about the Hulk? But will he believe me? Wait... didn't the theories say Loki was mind controlled? But...why would he kidnap some random woman when it came to the tesseract and fighting in New York? Why would he kidnap me? I couldn't be anyone important if it wasn't in the movie. But again... where are we? Loki had an underground hideout in the movie? There were mercenaries, Selvig and Barton. Earlier he said....his home... But Loki... had no home on Earth... and Asgard... it was complicated.

“Because I wanted to” he said.

"Why would you kidnap me?" I ask in surprise. Did I have any power? What would he want from kidnapping me?

"Why would any villain do the things they do? Because I'm evil, of course" Loki said teasingly, he gave a dramatic bow afterwards. Loki straightened back up but the smirk remained on his face. Poor Loki...I didn't know what to say to that...but that didn't get me any closer to knowing what was going on here.I knew him... I knew everything. My poor Loki who thinks he's a monster. I reminded his words from episode one: ''Because it's part of the illusion. It's the cruel, elaborate trick conjured by the weak to inspire fear''.

“Maybe I just thought you were beautiful.”Loki responded quickly. He tilted his head and looked down at me, his smirk became a soft smile. He was a lot more relaxed than he’d been earlier.

Me? Beautiful?

Well... it was different here.... I'm curious... What do I look like. ''Can I ask you for a mirror?" I asked politely.

Suprise flashed in his eyes. Suddently Loki was pulling a small hand held mirror out of nowhere and holding it out to me with a smirk. It was like episode 3...He took out parchment and a quill then. It was the same with the tesseract in Infinity War... also the casket from Jotunheim in the first movie. I was curious...dimensional pockets? I wonder how it worked...

I looked at myself...

It was a shock.

Chapter Text

In the mirror I saw a beautiful, sensual woman. Perfect features, pale skin with no imperfections. The only thing I had in common with her were blue eyes. I had it in my previous body and here too. I was wearing only a short nightgown. It was black with dark pink lace at the neckline. I stared at my reflection. I didn't say anything. I almost forgot Loki was next to me.

I've always dreamed of being beautiful.

I tried not to look in the mirror. Avoid mirrors... and now....

From the corner of my eye, I saw that Loki was slightly surprised by my long stare in the mirror.

"Don't you think you are quite the beautiful creature?"Loki said in a quiet yet teasing whisper, he was close enough now that he could lean next to me and whisper into my ear. I moved away from him in surprise....I've never been so close to a man... And he... he was perfect...masculine, powerful, handsome...

Loki looked amused by my surprise as he leaned forward again, his famous smile appeared on his face. He chuckled softly.... I loved his laughing....always...Often I was watched clips with that...When he was laughing at Mobius in episode 1...or when he was talking to Thor in ''Avengers''. His laughing is so sharp, so full of mischief...

"Why did you move? I only said that you are beautiful. Do you not like that?" he asked. I sighed...I needed to know what was going on here...I gently grabbed his forearm and looked him in the eyes.

"Loki, tell me where I am and what's going on here?" I ask him...I have to know.

A look of slight surprise appeared on Loki’s face as I touched him but he didn’t pull away. He looked at me...like he wasn't understand me. He seemed to be at a loss of words for a moment before shaking his head a bit and speaking.

“I told you already. I kidnapped you because I wanted to. Do you need more information than that?”

''Yes... tell me... where are we? What happened?" I ask him. I gently stroke his golden bracer. No one in the movies ever touched him tenderly...I think the only one was a hug with Frigga...I don't count Mobius because he was a disgusting liar who blamed Loki for his mother's death. I remember the furious discussions on Tumblr that Kurse was headed for the shields and not the queen's rooms... and the kiss with Sylvie was hideous and painful...when she pushed him to TVA...my poor Loki...and the fans wanted for him to look for her in season 2! What for? To be even more heartbroken?

Loki watched me when I stroked his bracer. A soft smile came over his face as he looked at my hands touching him.

''We are in my home. I kidnapped you. What more is there to explain?'' he asked me. He seemed really confused by my approach.

I sighed... I should have used more specific questions.

"Where is your house?" I asked. Where are we? Where are we in the movie? Are we before chaos in Stuttgart? Or are we just before the Battle of New York? How much time do we have?

"Why should I tell you?" Loki said as he still watched me stroke his bracer.His expression indicated that he was teasing me. God of Mischief, right? I gently touched his face with my fingers (I was trying to imitate Christine a bit from Phantom of the Opera, of course it's terrible that she took off that mask...but at first Erik seemed to like her touch).

''Please tell me'' I ask. Loki stayed still as I touched his face and he let out a soft sigh. The smile on his face grew a little, he seemed to like the touch of my hand( thank you Universe that I watched that movie!).

“Well I guess I am obligated to share that information with you if you ask so kindly.” Loki responded slowly, he smiled warmly as he spoke. His voice and overall mannerism changed, he is being softer and more gentle than before (it's so strange... he almost reminded me Tom Hiddleston). I'm waiting for his words, still stroking his cheek...it's wonderful...I'm really here with him doing this....it's a dream come true.

Chapter Text

“We are in Midgard. Also realm called Earth.” Loki responded without hesitation now, he continued to let my touch his cheek and didn’t move away. He was watching the whole time with a kind and soft expression. I never seen him like that... Tom Hiddleston and his other characters....yes....but no Loki. Then I realize...why would he tell me that if I am from Earth? Would that mean he kidnapped me from somewhere else and brought me to Earth? This body...this previous person...wasn't from Earth? Not human? Alien?

I needed more information

"You are the Prince of Asgard... why are you in Midgard?" I asked, using the Asgardian word for Earth. Suddenly someone knocks on the room.

Loki’s eyes moved to the door. He looked slightly annoyed at knocking.

''Who is it?''Loki asked.

Agent Barton entered the room...his eyes were scary blue (mind control). I was looking at him with curiosity...Hawkeye. So he still under control. So Loki was not in Germany yet.

"My Liege, forgive me for interrupting..." he began.

''What is it, Barton?'' Loki spoke with a bored tone, he glanced from me back to Barton.''You must have something important to interrupt me for'' Loki’s eyes were cold. It was familiar. Loki who want be respected. I thought about how he yelled at Thor that he wanted to be his equal. About how he fought Thor on Stark Tower. About how he took the throne at the end of the Dark World.

"My Liege... the beast just woke up," Agent Barton replied.

''The beast?''Loki repeated with a bored look on his face.''Explain. Now.''

"The guards said he broke the bars...but was trapped in the force field, but he managed to free Romanoff and Stark beforehand," replied Agent Barton. I was looking at them. What was going on here? Beast or Banner? Romanoff? Stark? What was going on here that wasn't in the movie?

“Where are Romanoff and Stark? Is the beast still in his cell?” Loki asked. His tone was very demanding. He was extremely serious at this point, his eyes were narrowed in a look of fury and his entire body was very tense. I stared at them, not understanding what was going on.

''The force field has stopped the beast, still in the cell. We fix the bars. Romanoff and Stark were last seen in corridor B, staircase 12'' Agent Barton replied.

''Send someone to deal with Stark and Romanoff. If they cause any trouble, kill them'' Loki gave the order and his face remained the angriest how I would seen it in my time with him. ''I will deal with the beast myself and do so quickly. Leave.''

I jump out of bed, not caring that I'm wearing nothing but a thin nightgown. He looks scary, but that doesn't stop my determination.

I am thinking of the clever Natasha who sacrificed her life for the Soul Stone.

I think of Tony, whose death I saw before I saw his life.

"Please don't kill them" I gently touch Loki's shoulder. Loki glanced at me. His face softened and his anger shifted to confusion.

''Very well. I will spare their lives for now'' Loki told. Agent Barton stared at me blankly...but there was something...some relief. I guess he was glad I convinced Loki not to kill them.

''Why would you want me to spare them?''Loki had a curious look on his face. What was I supposed to say? I don't know who I am...I don't know if I know them. I couldn't tell the truth that yesterday I was still in a world where the MCU is just movies and tv series on Disney Plus.

''Because I don't like violence,'' I say, throwing my arms around his neck, praying he'll accept it. It was true...I didn't like violence, which is why I haven't watched any MCU movies for so long. I preferred ''Pride and Prejudice'', ''Phantom of the Opera'', ''Labyrinth''...

Loki seemed surprised by my actions. He stood still for a moment and seemed frozen, confused by the sudden show of affection from my side.

''Well… I’ll spare them to make you happy…'' He told to me.

I gently caress his cheek."Yes, that will make me happy," I say with relief in my voice. They will be saved. This is good.

"My Liege....I understand your orders are changed?" Agent Barton timidly asks.

Loki looked at me when I was caressed his cheek, a soft smile remained on his face. He seemed at ease with the affection I were showing him, but that didn’t last for long as Barton spoke again. Loki frowned and pulled away from me and looked at Barton.

''What is it? What has changed?''Loki spoke with a hint of annoyance now, he seemed slightly disappointed at being interrupted.

"You ordered Stark and Romanoff to be killed... but this lady convinced you to change your mind, so I'm waiting for new orders," Agent Barton explained politely to him.

"Very well. Let the two of them live." Loki's voice was even but it had the slightest edge of annoyance to it as he spoke. Then he turned to me and looked down at me."Happy now?"

''Yes, thank you'' I replied to him.

Chapter Text

He stared at me.

"I am doing this to please you, not because I think it is the right thing to do." Loki said the last part quickly as if he was embarrassed to say it. He spoke with a tone of arrogance but it was clear for me that a bit of vulnerability was leaking through. Villain, monster for audiency, right? My poor Loki. I didn't answer. He turned away from me.

''My Liege, you must secure the beast. My people will find the fugitives," said Agent Barton.

Loki’s jaw tightened when Agent Barton spoke. Then he spoke, his voice was cold and threatening. He looked right at the agent.

''If your people fail me, there will be consequences. I do not like being failed and do not tolerate mistakes'' Loki paused to allow the agent to process the threat. It was all so scary and real...I didn't know how to deal with it all. It was nothing like the movie at all. I went back to bed, covering myself with a blanket. I didn't know...what was going on, where I was. And why events were so different. Loki apparently caught the Avengers? They escaped him? Where were we and what was going on?

''My Liege...we must go'' Agent Barton said. Loki shot the agent an irritated look but he didn’t argue with him.''Very well. Lead the way'' Loki once again looked at me...it was more delicate. Loki left quickly room.

''I apologize if he upset you, My Lady. He tends to be a bit… short-tempered'' Barton stated with a slight sigh as he spoke. His blue eyes watched nervously as he spoke.

I stared at him in surprise...how did this mind control actually work?

''Barton'' Loki called him from the corridor.

Agent Barton bowed to me and went to the door. I heard the sound of a key turning. I was locked up.I was alone in the room. I walked over to the window and parted the curtains.

A huge golden statue of Loki stood outside....like in Thor Ragnarok, but even bigger.

Was it some sort of courtyard? It totally looked like a palace courtyard. But it was unlike anything I'd seen in the movies.

I started looking around the room.

There were three pairs of doors.

I entered the first door and saw a luxurious bathroom. It looked... just like Cleopatra's bathroom from the 1963 movie... Big pool, columns. Shocked, I walked out of there.

Another door.... It was... a corridor with 5 rooms. I started opening doors to all of them. Everyone was huge! Everyone was filled with shoes, dresses, jewelry, crowns... Shocked, I walked out of there.

The last door... was the door to the corridor... a door that was locked. I wish I was free... but I didn't know this world, I wasn't in my body, I don't know where I could stay. Also, I smiled sadly. I know Loki. He wouldn't let me go. And he would find me quickly. Besides, he has so many abilities... and I don't. Besides...I love him...I want to be with him... But we have to set some boundaries, like not locking me up.I slowly drifted off into dreams that we could be together. That it's real, that my dreams have come true. Thank you Universe... still a long way to go to get a happy ending... but I'm on the right track. Besides, I liked the room he put me in....I've never had so much wealth around me...I just lacked some technology. I wish I could watch some movies again.

Suddenly I heard a knock on the door.

Once… Twice… and then silence. Perhaps someone had made a mistake?

A few seconds passed and then another set of knocks, this time they were a bit louder. Then silence once again… This was definitely no accident, it was someone knocking on the door. I was getting closer to door.

There was a small pause before the knocks started once again, this time they were much louder and more persistent. This was getting a lot more concerning...

I can't open the door because I don't have the key. So I'm waiting to see what happens next.

The silence came to an abrupt end when the door started shaking violently and loud thuds were coming from the other side of the door. The entire door was beginning to sway and it seemed to be only a matter of time before something broke. Someone was on the other side and they wanted in. Loud shouts could be heard from the other side of the door.

''Let me in!''There was a desperate and angry sound to the voice who was trying desperately to gain entry to the room.

''I can't! This door has been locked and only Loki has the key!'' I yell at this person.

Because of the screaming, I can't tell if it's a man or a woman.

The voice on the other side let out a noise of frustration and pain. Then silence followed after as they seemed to be trying to think of something to do. Then after a few seconds they spoke.

''Where is Loki?I demand to know where he is! Take me to him immediately!'' they yelled.

''I can't leave this room...I told you, Loki locked this door. He went with Barton...to secure the beast,'' I replied.

Beast or Banner? Or was it someone else?

Chapter Text

Suddenly I heard a loud noise outside...Suddenly my door fell off its hinges!

Loud thuds filled the corridor as the person ran inside. It was Sif! Her clothes were dark and black with leather armor around her waist and arms and legs. She had a sword on her hip.

''Where is Loki?!'' She demanded, her tone was cold and harsh. She glared furiously as she spoke.

I remember episode 4...

What has she done to Loki... my poor Loki...beat by her in time loop.

Before, I had rather neutral feelings towards her... but since watching episode 4, I hated her.

"I won't tell you," I replied proudly.

Her eyes was filled with rage.Her voice was menacing as she spoke again.

''Where... is... Loki?''

I was still silent.

She was almost speechless at this point but it seemed that I had truly incensed her. She let out a noise of pure anger as she took a step towards me. I was looking at her... She was terrifying... I remembered her fight with Lorelei in ''Agents of Shield''.

I couldn't fight... I would have killed me.

But it was Loki! I had to protect him! Because no one was protecting him... neither from Thanos... nor from TVA...

Suddenly Loki appeared in front of me

"Here I am," he said with a smirk. How did he get here? What was happening?

“You!” Sif yelled.

Loki drew his daggers and began to fight her. I pulled away from them, watching them fight...it was amazing...scary but amazing. Loki was so fast. Sif couldn't hit him.

"Where is Thor?" she screamed.

"I'm afraid my brother is undergoing punishment for attempting to assassinate the king," Loki replied with a smile. Sif tried to hit him, but only hit an illusion.

Loki kept teleporting and changing locations....until finally...he quickly stabbed her from behind.... I watched in shock....when he...he killed her....her body lay on the floor....I've never seen dead people....except for two funerals, but that was different then. They were waxed, in a coffins... I stared at dead Sif in shock. My lips were moving but I couldn't speak. I clung to the bed...looking at the corpse...and Loki.

“Are you alright? You have witnessed something quite… gruesome for the first time.” Loki asked. “My apologies, Lady… death is never an easy matter to witness for… do you feel unwell?” he ask...his eyes were nice. He gently caresses my face... I close my eyes, letting him do it.I want comfort. I hug him. I'm safe with him.

“I’m right here with you, my Lady… you are safe with me…” Loki was comforting me.

"Why do you call me as My Lady?" I ask him. Out of the corner of my eye, I see the guards taking Sif's body. I'm safe in his arms....I don't understand why Sif attacked. What happened. I couldn't understand anything anymore. Nothing like the movie. But that wasn't important... what mattered was his arms around me... the beautiful smell of pine... he smelled of pine... His face so close to mine

''It is simply a formality, My Lady, it is more polite'' Loki spoke in a kindly tone.

"You can call me by my name" I say...even though it sounds silly now...I don't know my name here. A soft smile crossed his lips again and he kept his eyes on me as he spoke, his tone had an undercurrent of amusement to it.

“Very well… may I know what that name is, My Lady?” Loki asked.

"You kidnapped me and you don't know my name?" I laughed bitterly, trying to hide panic that I don't know my name.

"I must admit, your name hasn't crossed my mind at all, My Lady" He started to laughting.

"I'm afraid I don't understand you...you kidnapped me, put me in this beautiful room and you don't know my name?" I asked, trying to understand what's going on.

"I apologize for my ignorance, My Lady, but you must understand that I am so preoccupied with your beauty that I cannot be bothered to think of other topics" He said with smile and wink.

"I would say that my name is an important part of who I am..." I replied to that.

"You are obviously correct... I am so sorry, My Lady... your name is...." Loki paused for a moment as he seemed to actually think and his smile grew larger. "...Is it...Sigyn?" He asked with a playful smile.

Sigyn....

Loki's wife in Norse mythology, appeared in the comics, never appeared in the MCU...Loki's first "romance" was the hideous Sylvie.

I'm not saying anything.

I don't know who I'm supposed to be. Sigyn never appeared in the MCU...never.

Where I am?

Chapter Text

I woke up a few hours later. After cuddling up to Loki earlier, he carried me to bed. He covered me with a blanket. He was very nice. He asked if I wanted a new room...but I said no. A new door was built in and I was locked up again. I couldn't talk to Loki about it because my mood.

I just wanted to sleep.

Then my meal was brought to me. Rolls that were smeared with Nutella, strawberries and orange juice.

I was an Asgardian. Sigyn. A character that never appeared in the MCU. I don't even know if I have any power, family... I don't know anything about myself. Did Loki murder my fiancé Theoric like in the comics? But then I'd be his wife, he wouldn't have to kidnap me. Besides... I couldn't be in a normal movie. Everything was different.

My kidnapping, Romanoff and Stark's escape, Sif... This strange palace... It all didn't fit into any movie.

After eating breakfast, I went to take a bath and started going through the dresses in my wardrobe. I put on a pink dress with long sleeves and pink slippers. I looked in the mirror again. I remember how I envied Morgana from the TV series Merlin. I wanted her type of life and her look. I had it now. I didn't look exactly like her, but I had this type of compelling beauty. I didn't know why I woke up here. I didn't even know what to think of Sigyn... she never appeared in the MCU. She was only in the comics. I didn't know how to get back. Did I want to go back? Would anyone believe me if I told the truth? Can anyone figure out? After all, there must be people who know Sigyn... her family, friends... maybe her fiancé?

Is it ethical? To have her life? I didn't want to go back, I wanted to be selfish. I wanted to live with Loki.

I was looking out the window at the courtyard. I saw a lot of guards. I even got a glimpse of them dragging Natasha and Tony inside in chains. I felt sorry for them...

Why did Loki kidnap Sigyn? Instead of normally courting?

I'm sure she wouldn't say no to him... though... I wasn't sure. I still remember his words from episode 3. That he had nothing real before Sylvie.

Did the real Sigyn reject him? We were on Earth or Midgard.... in an unknown palace... The events did not resemble the movie ''Avengers'' at all. Loki was more powerful here, he had a palace, guards, and possibly three Avengers in the dungeon if the beast was Banner. Wait... Sif asked about Thor...so he might be trapped too. Loki said he attacked the king...that he wanted to kill him.

I thought about the events of the 2011 movie Thor. There was nothing like that. But this alternate timeline? It was different. I thought about the show ''What If''... different timelines. Where was the discrepancy?

Logic kept me from thinking about other things.... (dead Sif's face...bad memories from a past life).

For better or for worse, I'm stuck here. So I have to make my life here.

And I knew what kind of life I wanted.

I looked at the locked door. Something must be done about it.

Bonus (Loki's POV)

Loki sat on the throne with his eyes closed.

Everything was different than planned. Sometimes in the chaos there are unpredictable paths...but this...this even amazed him.

Sigyn...

Ever since he became King of Midgard, he knew he had to get married. However, the problem was his reputation. The only option was to kidnap a suitable candidate. He didn't know what he was looking for until he saw her. He had his ways and he could go to Asgard and no one saw him anyway.

She was his mother's new lady-in-waiting.

From what he found out, she was hired right after his "downfall".

Her parents died tragically, and his mother gave her a job. She was really beautiful. As soon as he saw her, he knew it was her. When he first saw her... her eyes and mouth filled with kindness. And the most alluring beauty.

He kidnapped her at night and took her to prepared quarters. He knew she couldn't physically fight, but he thought she would resist him somehow... that she would start talking about his past, about his capture of Midgard...

Instead... he remembers her touch, she was so wonderful to him...

She was so gentle...he hadn't thought of that, the sight of Sif's death would scare her so much... Normally Asgardians are used to violence. But...not her. Sweet Sigyn.
