I woke up with the sun coming through the windows, little and narrowed iluminated lines on the bed, blinding me for short instants until I saw him there. The icy blue eyes staring at me, the hair completly messed, my sheets smelled like him, the bed was still warm, he looked sweetly at me, lied on his belly, the arms beneath the pillow.

-Good morning gorgeous-He spoke with a cute smile on his lips.

-Good morning handsome.-I replied and kissed his cheek.

-How are you feeling?

-I'm good.- My thighs were sore -okay, maybe tired, you beat me up last night.

-I'm so sorry love.

-It's okay-I chuckled- I liked it. Totally worth it.

-You've seen nothing yet, I'm just getting started-He gave a malicious smile and I gave him a quick kiss on the lips- Don't try me.

-I didn't do anything-I teased.

-We'll be late for work-He said and kissed him fastly again- You're such a troublemaker.

He wrapped his arms around me and we rolled on the soft mattress, Mobius kissing me between the laughs and smiles, the bright day outside just complemented the perfect joyful aesthetic of the room.

-We need to go now-He said while carressing my cheek.- People are going to ask about us.

-Can't we just let them ask?-I said as I held my chest close, against his.

-That's very seductive-He said- But we really shouldn't push our luck.

-Fine!-I rolled my eyes and he gave a soft laugh.-Use the same luck to find your clothes, you just yeeted them last night.

-Well someone was in a rush...

-If only someone didn't sneak into my room while I was taking my bath...

He chuckled and kissed the tip of my nose.

-No regrets.

⏳

I walked radiantly through the hallways, I think I even scared the others by how much I smiled. The amount of serotonin I must've had at that moment should be so high that I could have an overdose.

My life at the moment seemed nearly perfect, all I had to do was to make amends with Bee, besides that I had everything I could ask for, a job, (well I think I should be happy about it), a "house" and a boyfriend who truly loved me. That is how a perfect life should be right?

A song would come in hand now, I could pretend that I was in my own musical, I wouldn't mind to scream my lungs singing through the TVA.

But some things can really...feel off. As much as everything seemed awesome for me, so many people suffered, and when I say people, I refered to the arrested variants walking as I passed by, wearing those chokers, controlled my timepads. I could see my reflection on them, I could see the struggle, the confusing thoughts passing through their minds.

I forgot about my routine as I saw her, a little blue girl being held as a prisioner, walking slowly and scared with a TVA guard. Her dark eyes fragile as she stepped foward with her cyborg body. They treated her in such a hostile way, like she was a criminal, and I couldn't help but feel empathy for her.

I started to follow where they were going, Judge Renslayer's trial. That wasn't my favorite place to visit in the TVA of course, I avoided it as much as possible whenever I could. The memories from when I arrived at that corporation haunted me whenever I walked into that room.

I tried to don't be noticed, I fastly sat on a bench at the extreme back of the saloon while the guard directed the girl to the wood structure.

Ravonna was there, behind her huge desk, the face a stone, the mouth a straight line, fearless and rigid, with no emotions as the girl stopped in front of her.

-Nebula, Variant N 2472, AKA Nebula Daughter of Thanos, is charged with sequence violation 6-32-72-77.-Ravonna's strict voice echoed through the room. She looked fiercely at the girl- How do you plead?

-What am I being charged about?-The girl answered and I surprised myself by how courageous she seemed at that moment.

Ravonna stared for a moment at the files at her desk, then lifted her eyes at the culprit:

-You were accused of winning a battle against your sister Gamora. Is that true?

Winning a battle? That girl knew how to fight? But she seemed so young! And why couldn't she win? Why don't let her win once?

-I had to.-the girl answered- Or he'd replace my body with metal again.-She showed her meatallic arm.

If that wasn't natural it must've hurt to put it there.

-By doing that you've comitted a crime against the Sacred Timeline.-Ravonna's cold tone persisted.

-But Gamora won so many times!-The girl insisted-Why can't I escape harmless at leat once? Why do I have to be the one to suffer?

Her speech was breaking my heart, why did she have to endure so much when she was just a child? She didn't deserve that, nobody did.

-Because winning means that you are going against the Time-Keepers will.

-Please-

-Then, I declare that the court finds you guilty and sentences you to be reseted.-Ravonna hammered the wood surface- Next.

The guard came after the girl as she insisted to let her go, but it was useless since she was stuck with that choker.

I didn't have time to think. I didn't care about the consequences, all I could see at that moment was a girl being accused and sentenced to death, they were going to prune her. I couldn't just sit there and watch.

I got up from my seat and yelled to the judge, to the girl and every single person in that room:

-I PROTEST!-All the eyes turned at me.

-Y/N what are you doing here? This is a trial and you're not authorized here-

-She is just a kid! Can't she...I don't know, be forgiven?

Ravonna found fun in my words, almost like I told her some sort of joke.

-She is a variant and must be treated as one. -She turned to the guard- Reset her.

-She couldn't even defend herself!-I walked and standed next to the girl.- Look at her, how can you condemn a helpless girl in her situation?

The child didn't react, she just stayed quiet, she must've been 8 or 9 years old. She just observed me quietly as I tried in any way possible to save her, but nothing seemed to work on Ravonna's hard and narrowed mind.

-Can't you imagine yourself in her shoes?-I continued.

-No, I'm not a variant. Enough miss Y/N, case closed.-She hammered again on the wood.

-No, wait!

They started to drag her away, I tried to reach for her hand but the guard pushed me away, the girl standed her arm in my direction:

-Help me!-Her thin voice broke the silence and my heart ached.

-No, please Ravonna, don't!-They were driving her to the corner of the room.

-What is going on here?-His voice awakned me, I felt like there was a tiny, little chance, and my eyes sparkled. I ran towards his direction and grabbed his hand.

He stopped, looked at me surprised by my attitude. The white cloudy hair in his head in its perfect place, it seemed soft and fluffy at the same time, a contrast of the last night, so wet and hot. The same strong characteristics that gave him that charm. His eyes were deep and almost sparkled as mines met his, that were colored a light blue sky. His mouth opened a little, surprised for a moment while he stared at me.

-Y/N? What is going on?- Mobius asked concerned observing my visible panic.

-Mobius, don't let her go.-I almost begged.

-The Mantis variant is interfering in a case.-Ravonna spoke and I could feel the annoyance in her voice.-The veredict has been made.P rune here already.

-No! Mobius do something!-I searched for help in his eyes, trying to seek answers in their blue reflection, but I received nothing.

-Y/N I...I can't, there's nothing I can do, it's already done.-He tried to explain to me.

-You saved me, can't you save her too? She is just a kid Mobius!

-I could save you because you started working for the TVA, that doesn't apply to everyone-

-She can fight- I was desperate- Mobius she can fight, sh-she can train, I will take care of her, just don't let them kill her.

The guard was taking his baton out of his belt and pointing at her.

-Y/N I'm sorry, but I can't.-Mobius replied.

-No....-My eyes met with the girl's- Please no, Mobius...-I was crying already, I ran towards her direction but he held me- LET ME GO!-I sobbed and yelled- LET ME GOoo...!-My voice failed, I cried so ugly, The guard counted to 3- SHE IS JUST A KID! SHE DID NOTHING WRONG!- A tear rolled through her cheek as I fighted in Mobius arms for him to let me go, that was the first time I didn't want him holding me.

And I saw it. Almost in slow motion. The guard pulling the TVA's baton into the girl's stomach, she gasped between the tears as a glow from the edge of the light started, consuming and taking her body slowly, I could see her eyes meeting mine moments before she disappeared.

My knees failed, I cried so much that I thought I'd drown that whole room, I fell on the floor as she completly disappeared, I couldn't feel her emotions but I but empathized with her, I felt identified by her situation.

Mobius tried to comfort me but I didn't care, I was angry at him, angry for not helping, for not letting me go after her, angry for obeying those rules that killed an innocent.

-Mobius can you please take her? There are more audiences left and she's making a scene.-Ravonna asked him.

-Sure, I'm sorry about this.-He answered like an obedient employee and started to pull me to get on my feet- Come on Y/N....

I still stared at the same spot the girl was before. The guard had already put the baton back in his belt and I was there, crying on the hard and cold TVA's floor.

Mobius managed to take me out of the room, we walked towards a more empty area where nobody could see us. He standed in front of me and put his hands on my shoulders.

-Y/N please...-He tried to touch my face but I leaned back avoiding it. - Y/N?

-Why did you do that?-I spoke between my teeth.

-What?

-How could you just let that girl die Mobius? How could you?

-Y/N, it's against the rules...

-You could've tried to help, but you didn't.

-Please don't get mad at me, I-

-Or at least should've let me go after her!

-You know I can't do that.

-Why can't you?!

There was a pause in silence, Mobius looked at the floor for a moment, maybe gathering courage for what he wanted to speak:

-She...She's a variant Y/N.-He said and I couldn't believe in his words- We need to maintain the Sacred Timeline, you know that-

-Did you forget?-I stared into his deep eyes- Did you forget who am I? I'm a variant Mobius!

-I know.

-That girl...-I pointed to the direction we came from- That girl is just like me. She tried to change her situation, tried to defend herself and was dragged to the TVA.

-Y/N-

-I could've had the same destiny as her.-My words had a heavy meaning at that moment- And if you followed the rules I wouldn't be here with you now.-I was still so schocked by what I just saw- If I was pruned as I should have you would've never met me. We wouldn't be friends, Lamantis would never happen, last night would never happen.-I looked intesely at him.- We would never have loved each other.

My words echoed for a moment in the air, I couldn't just endure the current situation, I couldn't pretend I didn't see what I just did. I couldn't collaborate with that attitude.

-But it happened.-He held my hand.

-And that girl could've had a life if you helped me.

-She's not you.

-But she is like me.-I corrected- I don't want to just be an exception if that means I have to watch people like her die. People like me die.-I aparted the touch of his skin on mine- And if you agree with that, then I've mistaken who you truly are.

I started to walk away, I didn't look back at him.

-Y/N, I need to help the the TVA.

I stopped.

-At what cost Mobius?-I looked at him over my shoulders- How many lives are enough for the Time-Keepers to be satisified? How much blood of innocents are you willing to have in your hands for them?

He didn't reply, my heart ached by what he was doing. I believed so much in him, I trusted, I only saw the good in him. But at that day I saw what I didn't, I experienced what I never did. I realized that the Mobius I loved and the real Agent Mobius M. Mobius were completely different.

I walked away, my foosteps echoing through the hallway and my heart sinking as I got far and far from him.

I couldn't recognize the man I loved.

⏳

Mobius' POV

Ravonna closed the door behind her, I was sitting on the chair in front of her desk. The curtains were closed and the were lights on. This time the office was cold, serious, no music was playing, no jokes were made and no whiskey was served.

She walked fastly back to her desk, the high heels making a loud noise as she stepped with anger on the floor. She sat in front of me, she wasn't with that compassionate face she always had, she was extremely angry.

-We need to talk about Y/N.-She spoke  briefly.

-I know, she crossed the limits today but-

-She didn't just cross the limits Mobius, she questioned the Time-Keepers' will. She wanted to change the rules!

-Because she saw the child, Y/N is very sensitive Ravonna, she isn't like you, not saying that's a bad thing of course, but we need to be patient with her.-I tried to explain, I was nervous, My leg shaked while I tried in any way I could defend Y/N.

-It isn't just about the child. She doesn't agree at all with the TVA's rules.

-Of course she does, she works with us.

-She is involving herself too much with other variants. Just like the Loki one.

-That...-I sighed, she did have a point there- What can I do? We have to deal with variants everyday Ravonna.

-I already said what was my suggestion.

A silence fell between of us. I knew what she meant, I knew how strong and heavy that sentence was. But I couldn't. I could never agree with that.

-No. I'm not prunning her Ravonna.-I spoke fiercely.

-Can't you see Mobius? We are just receiving damage by keeping her here.

-There must be another way.

-She failed on Everest, then failed at Roxxcart and ran away with the Loki Variant. Now she's interefering in trials. What else do you want Mobius? Do you want her getting down in that elevator and yelling at the Time-Keepers' faces? Is that what you want?-Her voice was loud but clear, she made a pause- I assure you that they have way less patience than I do.

I passed my hands through my face, I was in a dilemma I didn't want to be in. I knew that Y/N wouldn't listen to me even if I tried, on the other side I was going against everything I fought for in my whole life. I looked at my friend:

-I can't kill her Ravonna.-I spoke in a weak voice.-...I'm sorry, I can't.

-Then someone else will. Even if I have to.-Her eyes reflected murder and I trembled at her words.

-Please no.-I insisted- Ravonna don't do that, she's useful to the TVA.

-Enough Mobius. I gave her too many chances already.-She was getting up from her chair.

I was helpless, desperate. The thought of loosing Y/N just broke my soul inside, I needed to stop Ravonna. I'd do anything to make her stop.

I grabbed tightly her hand. My eyes seeking help into her cold ones.

-I beg you.-I asked- Ravonna please, Please Ravonna let her stay. Do anything you want, just don't prune her.

Ravonna stopped, looked at me and her mouth opened a little, her eyebrows lifted.

-So that's what is happening.-She muttered.

-What?

-You fell in love with the Variant Mobius.

I revealed, I revealed unconsciouly our secret.

-No-

-I can see it in your eyes.-She took her hand from me and continued- The Nexus Event...I can't believe it..-She sniffed bittersweetly- A TVA Agent and a Variant. Incredible. That's why you keep defending her.

Ravonna's glance at me wasn't just schoockness, it was full of sarcasm, superiority, she mocked me, she looked at me from up, she seemed disgusted by my act.

-I take responsibility for what happened, just don't kill her-

-You know what I should do?-She interrupted and ignored me- Do you know how serious is this affair of yours? Do you know that I should say this to the Time-Keepers?

I stood in silence while she spoke.

-How many people know about this?-She questioned.

-No one. Just you.-I lied, I didn't want t9 risk B-15 too.

-If others discover about this...-She shaked her head- Imagine Mobius, if you and her turn into an exception everybody would want too, I can't be unfair. I am with my hands tied.

-Do anything you want Ravonna.-I was risking everything for Y/N- transfer me, take my job, give me to the Time-Keepers, anything. Just don't hurt her.

Ravonna looked down at the floor, she knew I was being serious, I could never joke about that subject. Then glanced at her mug, touching it lightly with her fingers, her fingernails were healthier and bigger now since I was talking with her more.

-This "love story" needs to end now.-She said- Finish whatever you both have or I'll tell the Time-Keepers about it. That's the only way I can help you.

-What about Y/N?-I said and she stared at me- I don't care about me Ravonna, what about her?

Ravonna sighed and adjusted the mug's position at the desk.

-She will stay away from contact with any type of Variant.-She gave her veredict- And will work at the archives' basement.

-What about the Loki case?

-Forget about it.-She insisted.- I will find another team. And Mobius.-She added - If she makes another mistake she'll be reseted.

I wasn't happy with her decision, of course I wasn't, but it was the only way to keep Y/N safe, even though she wouldn't see me. And if Ravonna was being serious about the basement's archive's section, she wouldn't see daylight anymore either.

-Tell her all of this and end this relationship.-Ravonna finshed her speech- You can't see each other ever again after this.

-I won't even be able to see her?

-My trust with you is broken Mobius.-She pondered.- I trusted you to just hire the variant. And what have you done? Look at what point we reached. If you want her alive then end this nonsense. This is my last offer.

There was nothing else I could do. There was nothing else left to say. All I could do was agree.

-Thank you.-My voice sounded so weak, maybe it reflected how I felt inside.

I walked out of that office feeling defeated. The only way I could keep her was letting her go. Y/N would never see me again after what I would say to her. I'd loose her.

But somehow, in that deep sadness I felt, I found comfort in just having her safe. Not with me, but still safe.

⏳

Y/N's POV

I was walking with the hallways with my head down, the memories from earlier that day were still vivid on my head. The girl disappearing in front of my eyes. Mobius choosing rules over a life, Ravonna being a bitch. No one in that room had compassion, no one cared about the girl, no one saw anything else than a variant.

I was angry with that system, I was disappointed with Mobius. I hated myself for not being able to do anything.

I stared at the TVA's poster on the wall. "FOR ALL TIME AND ALWAYS"

Could I live all my life doing that? Ignoring while people were being murdered? Innocents souls being taken with such brutality, with no reason except by their tentative of surviving?

Did Mobius expect me to just agree with that?

I didn't think I could take it.

I was walking through a dark, lonely hall when I bumped into someone.

-Sorry-I muttered while looking up.

It was...Casey? What was he doing there alone? Shouldn't he be in his desk?

-I-It was nothing, don't worry about that. Please excuse me-He stuttered and started to walk away.

-Wait.-I said and he stopped with his back still turned to me.

There was something weird about him, maybe the fast way to walk, the gestures who didn't appear like him. It was odd. The clothes that covered up most of his body were from him, the badge was Casey's but it didn't look like him at all. And I suspected sonething already.

-Did you have lunch already Casey?-I asked getting close to him, he turned to me.

-Y-Yeah-He answered.

-How was the fish?

-Excelent.-He smiled.- I really enjoyed it.

-It was a good disguise Sylvie. But you ruined it at the fish part.-I revealed.

He stopped for a moment as I said those words. He, or better, she, knew that I noticed it.

-I-I don't know what you're talking about.-She tried to fix the situation.

-Casey don't even know what is a fish.-I pulled the coat out of her head and I could finally see her blonde hair.

There was she, disguised in TVA's clothes, Sylvie.

-Long time no see.-She smirked making fun of the situation.-How was in Lamantis?

-You left me to die there.-I spoke between my teeth and pushed her against a wall.

Sylvie was pressed against the wall, I held the collar of her shirt in an agressive act, I was still angry with her, she almost killed me, she tricked me. But she didn't seem scared, instead, she seemed to enjoy the danger.

-Didn't you have a timepad with you?

-I almost died in that moon.-I pressed her against the wall again, the blonde hair messing up with the concrete, a soft laugh escaping from her light pink lips.

-And what are you going to do? Kill me? You're one of them, go ahead, do it.

-I'm not like them.

-But you're not one of us either.-She teased, she was trying to mess with my head- You joined the TVA.

I let the collar of her shirt go, Sylvie's posture relaxed as I tried to place my ideas back into place. I wasn't violent like that, I wasn't a monster.

-What are you doing here?-I asked her.

-I'm going to destroy the TVA.-She replied confident- All of this will be gone.

I laughed at her. Sylvie made a face as I annoyed her.

-Oh really?-I mocked- How are you doing to do that? Burn the whole place down? Hm? Or are you just going to kill the Time-Keepers?

-What if I do?-She took a knife from her pocket.

-You can't do that.

-Yes I can-She pointed the dagger to my neck- Just like I can slash you throat right now.

-Go ahead, kill me-I said- I know that you won't.

-I will.-She spoke with her face close to mine, the breath agitated, the cold metal touching my skin.

I knew that deep inside she wasn't all evil. I could understand her anger. After all they wanted to prune her. She was a fugitive like I was, like any other variant. She turned into a villain because of what she passed through....And was she really a villain? I was starting to doubt that.

-Aren't you going to call your friends to save you? Maybe your judge?-She questioned.

-She's not my friend. I already told you, I'm not like them.-I reassured her.

-You really think you can fool me?

-If I were fooling you I'd have already called them. I already told you at Roxxcart, let's talk.

-I don't want talk with you.

-What did you mean by the employees on the TVA being the Time-Keepers' toys Sylvie?

She chuckled in a low tone, still holding the knife.

-You really have no idea...-She muttered.- That's what you want to know? That's why you need me?

-I want to understand you.

-All the TVA do is kill. Not understand.

-I won't repeat again.-I stared into her green eyes.-You might not trust me but I'm saying the truth.

Alarms echoed. The whole agency was in a red shade by the emergency lights.

-They already know you're here.-I told her.

Sylvie took fastly her knife from my neck as we heard footsteps approaching.

-Shit.-She swore trying to know where she would go.

She started walking fastly to a hallway, I held her wrist.

-If you go there they're going to catch you.-I said as Sylvie looked at me intensely, maybe not believing in my words.

The footsteps were getting closer until we heard someone saying:

-THERE SHE IS!

I held Sylvie's arm:

-You need to trust me.

-Why are you doing this?

-Because we are alike.-I said as she stared confused at me.- I'm not letting you die. I'm not comitting another mistake today.

She had no other choice. Nodded with her head and I dragged her to another hallway. I could still notice the minute men after us.

-Go to the right, I'll go to the left, we meet later more ahead.-I told her.

-How will I know that you're not leading me to them?

-Oh shut up and just agree once Sylvie!

She made a face but agreed, I went to the left while she went the opposite direction.

Mobius' POV

The red alarm was activated. I observed all the people from the TVA moving around, all in a hush, running and searching for something. I stopped one of them:

-What is the motive of the red alarm?-I asked louder so he could hear me through the sirens.

-The Loki Variant is here!-And he walked away fastly along with the other sea of agents.

That variant was here. All I could think was where Y/N was. That variant wasn't a joke, she was dangerous, and just the idea of Y/N alone, wandering through those halllways, made me fear for her safety.

I started to fight my way through the bodies of people, all of them in a sincronized and terrorized rythm as other minute men grabbed their batons determined to capture the variant.

That's when I saw her. Her hair being iluminated by the red lights flashing in the dark, her eyes running fast through the agency while she had an instable breath.

-Y/N!-I called her and she looked at me with her eyes wide open. I ran towards her and grabbed her shoulders- Y/N the variant is here, we need to have caution.

-I-I know.-She stuttered and looked around the room like she was expecting sonething.

-What is going on?-I asked her.

-Nothing.

Something didn't feel right. Her answer didn't convince me, the way she looked at me wasn't like before, I felt like...Like she was lying to me. But I tried to ignore the idea anyway.

-I talked with Ravonna.-I spoke through the chaos.

-What??-She asked.

-We decided that you should stay away from variant cases... Just to-

-WHAT DID YOU DECIDE??-She reacted angry and pushed me away.- Mobius how can you decide that???

-You got out of control today!

-They killed a child!

-AND BY REACTING YOU'VE RUINED EVERYTHING Y/N!-I yelled and she looked at me schoked.

Her Y/E/C paralyzed. I was too rude. I shouldn't have reacted that way.

-Y/N wait-

-I'm sorry Agent Mobius!-She yelled at me- I can't be perfect remember? I am a fucking variant!

-Y/N please not here-

-NO, YOU WILL LISTEN NOW! I'M TIRED, I'M FUCKING TIRED OF PRETENDING!-She continued- I CAN'T PRETEND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING HERE IS RIGHT!

-YOU KNOW I WOULDN'T HURT YOU!

-YOU WOULD! YOU WOULD BECAUSE I AM NOT DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER VARIANTS MOBIUS!-She shaked her arms in the air- I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS!

I tried to pull her next to me, she shaked agitated, fighting while I tried to pull her into my arms, hugging her by force as she hit my back.

-If you really loved me...-She sobbed while fighting- You would understand me....You would see how I'm suffering.

-Being with me makes you suffer?-I looked fiercely at her- Is that what you want to say? Is that it?

She stared at me, the tears rolling through her cheeks. But this time I wouldn't comfort her. This time we were indeed fighting. This time, I was the cause of her tears.

-You are not what I thought you were.-She said shaking her head.- I don't want to love someone who agrees with this.

-What are you saying Y/N?-I shaked her shoulders, I wanted to cry but my pride was stronger- WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!

She then didn't looking at me. She looked back, to a point behind me. And when I turned back I realized.

A blonde woman, the green eyes, the dagger in her hand. The Loki Variant. Sylvie.

-You....-I almost had no strentgh to speak- You are helping her...?

Y/N didn't reply and took her shoulders from my hands while walking towards the woman.

-You planned this all this time?-I looked at her before she escaped. Her eyes locked with mine.- Is that it? You just used me?-She didn't reply- WAS NONE OF IT REAL?

My voice was sharp through the other noises on the chaotic building.

-I guess we both disappointed each other.-She replied with a bitter tone. -I can't change. Just like you can't either.-The world seemed to have stopped for me- Good night Mobius.

And just like that she ran away with that girl. A thunderstrom growled inside of me. I closed my eyes and stared at the ground.

-Sir-A squad of minute men came- Have you seen the variant?

-They went that way.-I pointed.

-"They"?

-Yes.-Words never were so hard to say as that moment.- The Mantis variant is with her.

-She betrayled us, shit!-The guard grabbed his radio- Attention, all units, the Mantis variant is with the Loki one, I repeat, the Mantis variant is a traitor. -He turned it off and turned to me- Did she say where she was going Agent Mobius? Did they take anything with them?

-No...They just...left...-It was like I've lost sense of direction. Sonething passed through my mind. I started to search in my pockets. She did it. She did just like before. I lost my breath.- She took my timepad.

⏳

Y/N's POV

Sylvie and I were running, running like the wind, trying to escape from every single minute men we could, sometimes  I'd have to tell her not to fight against them, I didn't want anyone getting hurt, and I was even more afraid of finding B-15 between them.

We arrived in a dead end. I could hear the guards approaching.

-What do we do now??-Sylvie asked.

-Say a place and date.-I replied taking Mobius' timepad from the pocket in my suit.

-We can use mine- She got hers from her pocket.

Am I crazy sometimes? Hell yeah, but I wouldn't let Sylvie fool me again, not this fime. I took her timepad from her hands, throwed it on the ground and smashed with my foot, the cohesive metal ceashing into scattered pieces on the floor.

-WHAT THE FUCK DID DO?!!-She yelled at me- YOUR-

-LISTEN HERE-I shouted - You depend on me now! So don't even think bout pitting us in dead planet or you know what's going to happen.

-Your fucking asshole.

-A smart asshole.

She rolled her eyes realizing I had a point.

-Sylvie  say a place and time, hurry up!-I ordered her.

-THERE!-I heard a guard yelling.

-SYLVIE NOW!

-Fine!-She started to say.

The guarfd came hurrying, between them Ravonna and Mobius, side by side, entering the alley where we both standed against the wall. The judge was furious, but maybe happy realizing that she was right to don't trust me.

But what broke me was Mobius. But at the same time I couldn't help but me mad at him. He didn't trust me. He didn't try to understand my side. He only cared about the TVA. He ecen thought that I've been planning this all this time, he thought I didn't love him.

We both betrayled each other.

-Stop right there Variants!-Ravonna demanded.

I opened the portal behind us, glanced at Mobius and noticed a single tear dropping from his crystalline eyes. Inside those ideals and illusions caused by the TVA was the man I still loved, the man I trusted, who I gave my heart, my soul and trusted with my body.

Buyt unfortunetly at that moment he was locking this Mobius' away from me. He cleaned the tear fastly and gave a strong, angry expression at me.

I took a deep breath trying not to cry, Sylvie yelling for me to enter the portal, Ravonna giving her orders to attack, the guards grabbing their batons, Mobius staring at me. All at the same time.

I could understand only him mouthing "I trusted you"

"And I trusted you too." I mouthed back- "More than I wanted to"

I gesticulated and Sylvie entered the portal, I looked again at the people after me.

The last vision I had was him, the fists closed, the narrowed line on his mouth, the omce sweet blue were now cold and cruel eyes. The body I exlored last night, the ear where whispered "I love you", the messy fluffy hair I absolutely adored, messed and brushed so many times. The man who I trusted my life, the one who I truly gave myself to, who I felt blessed but now cursed with.

I took a step back and just throwed myself entering the portal.

Any sign or vision gettung blurred, far and far away from my eyes, until he completely disappeared.

Until the love we had ended and turned into hate.

O

nly Variant and TVA Agent.

Just like it was supposed to be.
