Loki x Reader: Into the MCU

Chapter 48: Time Heist

Notes: Couple of things. First, sorry I'm two (almost three) days late. I was sick this week, my uncle came to visit, I had to drive to the airport twice, I have basketball, etc, etc. Busy busy. This also almost reached the length of my longest chapter, so it added to how long it took to finish. Second, for future times when I post late or something, know that my goal is always a week from the last post. If the last post is Thurs, then expect it by next Thurs. If I get pushed to Friday or, in this case, Sat, then expect around friday or sat for the next post. Hopefully I can work overtime and get back to the Wed posting schedule this week, but that'd be a chapter completed in essentially three days cuz I'm busy tomorrow, so probably not realistic. If the week mark ever arrives and I haven't posted, know that I'm probably very close to posting, I just got pushed back a day or two. I'll let you all know if something drastic happens that pushes me back a week or something. Third, people have pointed out that if Odin is dead, shouldn't Hela be out? And the answer to that is, I knew I'd slip up somewhere eventually and forget about something. So uh, plot armor. We're gonna say she snapped too. Yay, easy answer we all suspend our disbelief a bit for! Fourth, here's the link to As You Wish : Loki Fanfic by totally-not-dead. A Loki fanfic I'm sure most if not all of you have read. If you haven't, go check it out! Highly recommend!!! https://www.wattpad.com/story/249619691-as-you-wish-loki-fanfic

I think that's all. Enjoy!

The brainstorming began.

"Okay, so the how works," Steve said, looking at the screens with each infinity stone pulled up, "Now we gotta figure out the when and the where."

"We only have enough Pym particles for one round trip each," Bruce chimed from where he paced around the table, "And these stones have been in a lot of different places throughout history."

"Our history. So, not a lot of convenient places to drop in," Tony added.

"Didn't Wren tell you everything?" Clint asked, "We know where we have to go, right?"

"Doesn't make it any easier," Steve answered, though he nodded, "And she also told me which ones go wrong."

"Let's start with what goes right," Nat offered.

"The Aether," Cap held his hand up to the displays of the reality stone, with Tony swiping it into larger view, "Thor, you and Rocket go after it in Endgame. Besides a chat with....your mom," he said hesitantly, "You guys get it without any problems."

"Awesome," Thor gave a thumbs up, "Of course we'd have the most successful mission," he waved across the room to Rocket.

"We should be able to keep you two together for that assignment," Steve said.

"It'd be nice to know one already works," Rhodey agreed.

"Thor can't go to Asgard," Loki said, staring into the distance as he sat with folded arms.

"Why?" Scott asked.

"Because he and I have to go to Vormir," Loki said.

The room was quiet.

"Who's Vormir?" Scott asked again, trying to understand why everyone looked so grim.

"It's a place," Nebula answered, "At the center of celestial existence. It's where Thanos retrieved the soul stone."

"Why do you two need to go for it?" Clint asked.

"Because one cannot get the stone unless they lose someone they love," Vision answered softly.

"You gonna push Thor off for it?" Rhodey said like there was no way in hell that was going to happen.

"Sorry, pal, we're thinking of something else," Tony turned back to the screen.
