Different Powers

MOBIUS : 

Training goin’ well?

Main Loki :

Yeah.

MOBIUS

Is that my jet ski magazine?

Put it down. Gear up.

There’s been an attack. Let’s go.

[ Mobius hands Loki a Tactical Field Jacket ]

MOBIUS

Put it on.

Good. Yeah. Smart.

C-20 and her team went dark

shortly after they jumped into the 1985 branch.

All signs point to another ambush.

We’ve grabbed enough temporal aura 

to know it’s our Loki Variant.

But which kind of Loki, remains unknown.

Main Loki :

They’re the lesser kind, to be clear.

MOBIUS

(SIGHS) 

Let me see the back of that jacket.

( It has 'TVA' embossed on the back of it, in 18 inch yellow lettering )

Main Loki :

Hmm.

Very subtle. Well done.

MOBIUS

I don’t want anybody out there 

to forget What You Are.

[ and shooting you -- he's trying to keep him Safe. ]

Main Loki :

Oh, your only hope of capturing A Murderer?

No — A Cosmic Mistake.

MOBIUS

That’s enough.

 

Main Loki :

Lovely.

MOBIUS : 

Here’s The Deal.

When we get out on The Branch,

we’re not just looking for a Time Criminal.

We’re looking for A Loki.

A variation of this guy.

A type we should all be very familiar with,

because the TVA has pruned a lotta these guys,

almost more than any other Variant.

And no two are alike.

Slight differences in appearances, 

or not so slight.

Different Powers, 

although, Powers, generally include

Shape-Shifting, 

Illusion-Projection, 

and my favorite…

Main Loki :

Duplication-Casting.

 

MOBIUS

Illusion-Projection.

 

Main Loki :

No, they’re two completely different powers.

MOBIUS

How?

Main Loki :

Illusion-Projection involves  

depicting a detailed image from outside oneself,

which is perceptible in The External World,  

whereas 

Duplication-Casting entails  

recreating an exact facsimile of one’s own body 

in its present circumstance,

which acts as 

A True Holographic Mirror 

of its molecular structure.

But you already knew that.

MOBIUS

Okay, take a breath. Noted.

 

We’re gonna break into two teams, 

including myself and Professor Loki.

Main Loki :

Why?

MOBIUS

Because whoever this Variant is, 

we haven’t been able to find him.

[ Because you are looking for a He-Loki ]

So let’s bring in An Expert.

Main Loki :

That’s Me.

Do I get a weapon?

MOBIUS

Nah.

 

Main Loki :

Well, I’ll have My Magic back. 

Is no one concerned about that?

MOBIUS

Of what?

Main Loki :

Me Betraying You.

MOBIUS

No.

Main Loki :

Why not?

MOBIUS

You know that we can catch you.

And how’s betraying us gonna get you 

any closer to The Time-Keepers?

Main Loki :

An audience with The Time-Keepers 

is on the table?

[ No. He's just stringing you along (like A Loki).]

MOBIUS

Keep that focus.
