Wonder who we will be potentially seeing as a romantic partner for the MC? Or Maybe there will be more than one? I dunno...
Darcy Lewis?
Black Widow?
Wonder Woman?
Supergirl?
Raven?(Or is she still a teen? Don't remember if she's an adult, a teen, or even mentioned in-story)
Maybe the MC will travel to other realities outside the Marvel/DC Omniverse?
Luna from Harry Potter?
Hermione?
A version of Jasmine that wished to be a Genie? Lol.

He Who Remains saw this Loki's timeline and the ones that branched off of it did not have any Kangs so no multiversal war. He kept the timeline in a finite curve so it wouldn't appear in the Temporal Loom and the TVA could not touch it.

Asgard
"How did it go?" Frigga asked as her husband sank into his chair. He looked tired, even more so than before it was time for the Odinsleep.
He hung his head. "As good as can be expected."
Frigga took her husband's hand, giving a slight squeeze, just enough to be felt. "This was just one talk. You can't expect her to change so quickly."
"I know. Facing what I created with my two hands is difficult," he said, his daughter's laughter still echoing in his mind.
"Yet face her you must," she said, caressing his face.
"Where is Thor?" Odin asked his youngest son, who was gone to give them privacy for this tender moment.
Loki appeared back on his sofa, still engrossed in his book. "On Midgard."
"How long does it take him to smooth the matters with them?" he asked. Certainly, it shouldn't have taken this long.
"Not long. He is also visiting his new friends," Loki said, putting his book away.
Odin sighed. "That woman, Jane. Heimdall has reported how your brother is fascinated by her."
Loki blinked. "So?"
"Midgardian lifespans are fleeting. Do you think she has a future with your brother?" he asked. He didn't have anything against the woman; in fact, he was grateful for the assistance she had lent to his son. It simply wasn't a good idea for Thor to have a romantic relationship with her.
He would be heartbroken once she passed away.
"Oh no," he waved his hands, giving his father a half-lidded look, tone flat. "That's horrible. If only Thor had a brother who could extend a Midgardian's lifespan to match his."
Frigga cleared her throat but couldn't stop herself from smiling.
"Do you think she would want it? What if she chooses to remain a human?" he asked. Asking her to stop being a human was no different than asking Thor to stop being an Aesir.
Loki leaned on his fist. "Then Thor will cherish the memories they have and move on."
Odin huffed. "You two already had this talk."
"We did." He nodded.
Frigga coughed, avoiding her husband's half-hearted glare.
"Do as you wish then," Odin said, turning his attention to the documents on his desk.
He rolled his eyes. "We were already going to."

Earth
New Mexico
He appeared on the couch; he had materialized in the living room of their host. They were out now, working, but had granted him and Thor permission to use the house.
"I think we should visit one of these alternate timelines," Thor said, eating a poptart. He raised his head, trying to remember just how many he had eaten today. He lay back, considering it unimportant in the end.
It wouldn't impact his brother's health, anyway.
"For what reason?" he asked.
"I want to meet a version of myself," Thor said after swallowing his bite.
"I can send you to meet your frog variant."
Thor rolled his eyes and got up from his sofa to shake his shoulder. "Come on. It will be fun."
He sighed. "Anything specific, or should I make it entirely random?" They could visit one of the timelines he had seen, ones where Asgard was reduced to a mere village on Midgard.
"Random," Thor said, picking up his hammer.
He closed the book, throwing his legs down, materializing from his boots.
"Hey, are you guys going somewhere?" Darcy asked from the door, coming in with new foods to scan. She was repeating it every day, bringing samples of her favorite dishes for the synthesizer.
"Just taking a trip to another timeline," Thor said, following Loki through the portal.
—
Asgard?
A single step was taken, and the world around him changed.
"Is this Asgard?" Thor asked, scanning the area. It was golden, and a variant of his brother stood there, gloating.
"It appears we came at a horrible time," Loki said, glancing at the Midgardians strewn around the room. Each wore a costume, reminding him of the Justice League.
"Wait a second." Thor narrowed his eyes, gently pushing him aside. "Why am I bound like that?"
"I did say variants of me that I met so far were villains. I wager he is the same," he said, ignoring his evil counterpart's monologue.
"Should we intervene?" he scratched his head. "They don't seem to be having a good time against you."
"By all means," he replied, rolling his neck.
Thor spun his hammer, taking off against the villainous variant of his brother. The evil Loki didn't expect Thor to come attacking him while he was bound and subdued right before him.
"What in the Nine Realms?" he asked, too stunned to react. Mjolnir struck him hard enough to send him flying to Loki, who slammed a palm on the stomach of his counterpart. He smirked at the wide-eyed villain, sending him back to Thor.
Thor laid Mjolnir on his palm, gathering lightning. His fist glowed with a blinding mix of blue and white. He punched Loki on his back, discharging all the lightning into him. He screamed, limbs stretching out involuntarily.
Loki held his hand out, ripping what he assumed to be Gungnir out of his counterpart's hand.
"Brother, catch," Thor said, holding the evil variant by the leg, spinning twice before launching him forward. He screamed, trying to get away, but his magic didn't respond. His body contorted, taking a spherical shape.
Loki raised Gungnir, using the flat side of the spear, and slapped his counterpart back. Thor raised his hammer, responding in kind, sending the villainous Loki over the net that appeared out of nowhere.
"Please stop, I am begging you," he moaned, speaking each word between being bounced around like a ball.
"He said, please, should we stop, brother?" he asked, spinning once to hit harder.
"I don't know," he grunted, sending the ball back. "He is your counterpart. You should decide."
"Oh, very well," he said, waving his hand. With a pop, his counterpart returned to his original shape, falling on the ground face-first, groaning in pain. The net disappeared, while the defeated warriors that were fighting him gathered around.
Thor went to his counterpart, ripping the pillory around his neck and hands apart.
"Who are you?" Thor of this timeline asked, his voice a tad deeper than his brother's.
"You, obviously, from another timeline."
"What the heck?" said one of the Midgardians, wearing a costume consisting of red spandex, dark on the crotch area with silver armor on his chest, shoulders, forearms, and shins, turning dark on his hands and feet.
"And him?" he asked, pointing a finger at the secondary Loki.
He patted his taller counterpart on the shoulder. "Don't worry, he is not a villain."
Loki, who was watching his counterpart crawl away with a frown, turned his attention to the pod. He saw the strands of magic, invisible to all but him. The golden lines heading for his father were being drawn away to his counterpart by force. He swung his left hand down like a blade, fingers together, severing the magic leeching on the Odinforce.
The change was instantaneous.
His counterpart screamed once more as the Odinforce he had stolen was ripped out of him through his eyes and mouth. The magic knew its true owner and enveloped the pod, bringing the Allfather out of his sleep.
When the blinding light faded, Odin stood there, taller and more muscular than the one they knew. And of course, he had both eyes.
"Is every Aesir in this universe buffer than back home?" Thor whispered, measuring the girth of his arm and that of his counterpart's. The difference was quite noticeable.
"I think it's just you and Father," he said, pointing at Sif and the Warriors Three. "They seem to be relatively the same."
"Who is that blonde one over there?"
He shrugged. "Good question."
"Do my eyes deceive me, or have my sons been duplicated?" Odin asked, looking between Thor and Loki.
"No," Thor waved his hand. "We are from another timeline. I just thought it would be interesting to meet my counterpart, to see another Asgard." Given the situation, it didn't turn out to be a good idea.
"I see," he said, too calm for the situation.
"Never thought I would hear him say 'my eyes,'" he said, nudging Thor with his elbow.
"Loki!" Odin bellowed, turning to his rebellious son.
His counterpart, who was trying to scurry away, was pulled back as Odinforce surrounded him. He was forced to look at Odin, whose face was reddening.
"Long have I ignored your mischief, Loki, but this is not mere trickery. This is evil. I gave you everything. I made you my son, and this is how you repay me?" Behind his fury and indignation, Thor saw a shift. The last shred of mercy in Odin's eyes was gone.
"You deserve a thousand times worse. Go ahead, exile me. I will never stop," he screamed to the top of his lungs.
"If you thought the Isle of Silence was torment, you do not know the meaning of the word," he said. His eyes glowed first before they were blinded again.
When it ended, his counterpart was gone.
Odin turned on them, holding his hand out for Gungnir. Loki tossed it at him before his seidr could take effect.
"We have much to talk about," the Allfather said, looking at him with a wavering gaze.
Just in time for a Midgardian in Uru armor to come flying inside. "Uhh, am I late to the party?"
"Yes, yes, you are," Thor said, unable to stop himself from smiling.
—
Odin's gaze constantly switched between the two, but he didn't speak. Every time he looked at Loki, he seemed conflicted, eyes downcast one second, narrowed the next.
"Where is Mother?" Thor asked, looking around. His counterpart was here, along with the heroes who had aided him, as well as Lady Sif and the Warriors Three and several more figures.
They all seemed to be ready to attack Loki at a second's notice.
"Your mother?" Odin asked, raising a single eyebrow.
"Are you saying she is not alive here? Frigga of Vanaheim? Raised by witches?" he asked, searching the crowd for any sign of her.
"I do not know who that is," Odin said.
"Explains why my counterpart is off his rocker. It appears your parenting skills, no matter the universe, is quite questionable," Loki said, snorting to his fist.
The Aesir complement of the room tensed, hands on their weapons. He glanced behind, one intent on turning them into an assortment of zoo animals.
Odin stroked his beard. "Is that so?" He wouldn't say he was blameless of Loki's actions, but he had done his best.
"Does Hela exist here?" Loki asked. He wondered if she shared the same fate too, an executioner turned enemy.
"Yes, she is your counterpart's daughter," Thor, the one belonging to this timeline, said.
His face fell flat. "Ah, so there is a truth to the myths humans have in this universe." Which meant Loki and Angrboda had gotten together.
"Is she not your daughter where you come from?" Odin asked. This situation was vexing as it is. He did not like the implication of Hela and his capabilities in parenting being mentioned in the same conversation.
"No, actually," Thor crossed his arms, "she is your firstborn. You raised her to be a general, your executioner. She is currently locked up in Hel because of her coup attempt."
"You should give him that book on child rearing too," he said to his brother, breaking the silence.
"Why?" Loki grinned, causing Odin to frown. "He is past the age to have a new child." His words had Thor snickering until his face turned red.
"I am still here," he said in a low, stern tone.
Loki shrugged, looking away with a smile. "So you are, Father."
"You know, it's weird seeing you with both eyes," Thor said, trying to change the subject away from the Allfather's private matters.
Odin laid a hand on his right brow, remembering how Laufey had come close to taking his eye. He looked at the counterparts of his sons, waiting.
"You lost one eye to Laufey near the end of the war," Loki added. Given he had not suffered that injury in this dimension, it meant Hela's imprisonment truly took a toll on the Allfather.
"So many differences." Thor spun around. "Even Asgard is almost unrecognizable," he said, looking at the counterparts of their companions.
"Are you satisfied, brother? I would like to leave before someone attacks me on principle."
Thor patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I don't think they will."
"You know what, here," he said, holding his brother's left hand by the wrist, weaving a green thread with a circle in the middle. "When you are ready to leave, just touch the circle and call me."
He opened a portal and left, waving a hand in farewell as he did.
"That was… abrupt," Stark said, still trying to understand what had just happened.
"Given he does not tolerate these kinds of looks, it was probably for the best."
"Why? What's he going to do?" Sif asked, looking up into his eyes.
"He eats Celestials for lunch. Probably turn you all to rodents and send you to a zoo," he said.
Odin choked on his breath, triggering a coughing fit. Thor just smiled.
"This is going to be fun."

Asgard
He wondered what to do.
He considered visiting Hela, the one that was his counterpart's daughter, and introducing his sister to her. Since showing a version of her that was ruling Hel would not be conducive to convincing his sister to abandon his ways, he decided against it.
Visiting different timelines where his counterparts were villains didn't sound amusing. At least not for him. Inevitably, he would splatter someone on the nearest surface. Thor's existence was the reason they didn't think he was a projection or a product of seidr and attack him.
He couldn't always bring Thor with him.
Traveling to different universes, on the other hand, sounded perfectly doable. The chance of meeting a counterpart in another universe was extremely low. Hence, he would not have to deal with the fallout of an evil Loki.
His trip to the other Earth was short due to the prospect of war back home. He would have preferred to explore it for longer if he hadn't thrown the planet into chaos by exposing the Light.
The name still amused him.
Another universe it was.
This time, he would bring Thor along as well. His brother would appreciate the chance to test his mettle against warriors from different universes. He definitely would have enjoyed clashing with Superman and Wonder Woman.
What his next destination would present, he didn't know.
Regardless, he would enjoy the opportunity. Infinite possible universes promised infinite new knowledge. The Fatherbox itself could do Bifrost's task and more. Considering it was handheld, he could definitely find more interesting samples in his travels.
Maybe he would gift it to Thor so he wouldn't bother him whenever he wanted to visit Jane.

In the next chapter:
Thor shuddered, feeling the cold bite, which meant it wasn't an ordinary weather event. They were in a frozen valley with no sign of life around. It was snowing heavily, but none of it mattered to Thor.
The enormous serpent that was using the mountains as pillows did.
His jaw fell, and he latched on his brother's arm, shaking him. If Loki were still of flesh and blood, he would have been ragdolled by the force.
"Loki, it's a giant snake!" Thor squealed like a little girl.
Loki looked up, rolling his eyes, a groan echoing through the valley. "For the love of…" he started, stopping himself from cursing. If Thor was any less prideful, he would be jumping on the tips of his toes.

Regardless, he would enjoy the opportunity. Infinite possible universes promised infinite new knowledge. The Fatherbox itself could do Bifrost's task and more. Considering it was handheld, he could definitely find more interesting samples in his travels.
Maybe he would gift it to Thor so he wouldn't bother him whenever he wanted to visit Jane.

In the next chapter:
Thor shuddered, feeling the cold bite, which meant it wasn't an ordinary weather event. They were in a frozen valley with no sign of life around. It was snowing heavily, but none of it mattered to Thor.
The enormous serpent that was using the mountains as pillows did.
His jaw fell, and he latched on his brother's arm, shaking him. If Loki were still of flesh and blood, he would have been ragdolled by the force.
"Loki, it's a giant snake!" Thor squealed like a little girl.
Loki looked up, rolling his eyes, a groan echoing through the valley. "For the love of…" he started, stopping himself from cursing. If Thor was any less prideful, he would be jumping on the tips of his toes.

I am currently reading the chapter, and I am struggling to figure who is speaking of doing anything half the time.
Like here, for example:
So... You might wanna do something about that.
Anyway. I just finished the chapter. Thank you for uploading it. I'm looking forward to where the two brothers end up next.

Damn, Loki should've visited Hela while waiting for Thor, haha. Get some bonding and charming in, haha. And seems like God of War will likely be the next visit? Interesting, especially depending on when it is. Looking forward to more.
