"My crime is this..."
Loki, who was on trial, stretched out both hands, intending to summon a weapon and wreak havoc.
But magic had no power whatsoever in the TVA.
"Just a moment..."
Loki tried twice more, but nothing happened. Watching him flounder, Yang Bo found it quite amusing.
The Judge smiled at Loki's predicament as well, but she also delivered her final verdict.
"This court finds you guilty and sentences you to be reset."
Two soldiers took Loki by the arms and began dragging him away, but he struggled furiously. "Reset? What does that mean? Is it bad?"
"You damned bureaucrats have no right to decide how my story ends!"
Seated behind the judge's bench, Ravonna Renslayer looked up and said, "That's not how your story ends. Rest assured."
What she meant was that this so-called reset would return him to the correct timeline.
Naturally, Loki did not believe Ravonna. He struggled and shouted:
"You have no idea what I'm capable of!"
At that moment, Mobius stood up and said, "I know what you're capable of."
He walked over to the judge's bench. After a series of whispered conspiracies and backroom deals, Loki ended up in Mobius's custody.
Yang Bo rose and approached the judge's bench, standing where Loki had just stood. This time, however, Ravonna did not consult any files, because there were none.
Looking at the smiling Yang Bo, Ravonna said, "How interesting. There is no information about you on the Sacred Timeline. Where exactly did you come from?"
"Where did I come from? Let me think. It must have been a sweltering summer, when a young mother was rushed to the hospital..."
Ravonna had initially listened attentively, but the moment she heard "mother" and "hospital," she caught on and cut Yang Bo off, her expression darkening.
