Alex Ray didn't know that the stolen Infinity Stones had fallen into the hands of the Illuminati, nor that the group was secretly scheming against each other over possession of two of the Stones. They weren't seeking peace—they were boosting their power, wary of Alex himself.
If Alex knew, he'd probably be amused. At the very least, it confirmed that the multiverse wasn't isolated in some unreachable dimension.
But for now, inside Tony's private theater, the mood was somber and heavy.
Loki's Disney+ series was nearing its climax—the final episode of Season One.
Through Loki's eyes, everyone in the room had learned about the Time Variance Authority (TVA) and the Sacred Timeline. They'd seen the bureaucratic mess of the TVA unravel, witnessed the budding connection between Loki and Sylvie, and the chaos that followed.
They watched as Loki was banished to the Void—Helheim, as some called it—and encountered alternate versions of himself.
This place, the Void at the end of time, was where the TVA dumped everything and everyone it had pruned. All things sentenced by the TVA were abandoned here, consumed by a monstrous, magical cloud called Alioth.
Loki and Sylvie had only one goal: escape. Uncover the truth. Face the one behind the curtain.
Alex Ray had already seen the finale of Loki Season 1, but no matter how many times he watched it, it still thrilled him.
"Here it comes," Alex muttered to himself, knowing the best part was about to begin.
In the darkened theater, the screen exploded with tension. Loki and Sylvie strode into the heart of the storm—directly into the lair of Alioth.
Their silhouettes stretched across the desolate wasteland, step by resolute step, determination etched into every movement.
Alioth, ancient and unknowable, bellowed in fury. Its howl echoed like the apocalypse itself.
Loki sprang into action, moving like a phantom. Flames danced from his blade as he hurled them toward the cloud, trying to draw its attention.
Sylvie slipped around the periphery, eyes focused. She was ready to enchant the beast.
But Alioth wasn't so easily fooled. It turned from Loki and surged toward Sylvie, its hunger palpable.
Just then, a burst of green magic split the gloom.
Classic Loki had returned.
Worn by time but brimming with purpose, he raised his arms, summoning a vision of Asgard so lifelike it pulled gasps from the Avengers in the room.
The illusion was breathtaking.
The entire city—its towers, its light, its majesty—rose from nothingness, challenging Alioth with impossible beauty.
With the distraction in place, Loki and Sylvie joined hands, channeling their powers together to enchant Alioth.
But Asgard was being devoured.
Magic poured from Classic Loki, but Alioth tore through the illusion faster than he could conjure it.
Loki struggled with the enchantment. He'd never fully grasped it. The cloud resisted.
Classic Loki gave his final surge of power. Asgard crumbled, fading into sparks.
Alioth lunged.
He was gone.
But in that moment, something changed. Green lightning flared from Loki's hand, cutting through Alioth.
The beast trembled. Then—dissolved.
A passage appeared beyond the storm.
Loki and Sylvie held hands. Together, they stepped into the unknown.
In the flickering theater, surrounded by light and shadow, Tony, Thor, and the others sat frozen in awe.
The sudden end of the episode left an aching silence.
"Why did it stop there?!" Thor barked, eyes wide with frustration. He'd been swept into the story and couldn't stand the abrupt pause.
Fat Thor, lounging nearby, actually smiled. "You go, I go, hahaha. Our Loki's all grown up." His tone was filled with pride, as though his mischievous brother had finally found his path.
For Thor, Loki had always been unpredictable, unreachable. But this? This was growth.
Doctor Strange leaned back, arms crossed. "I have to say... conjuring an entire Asgard? That old Loki might just be the best sorcerer in the Nine Realms. Unlike our Loki, who can barely enchant a cloud."
He wouldn't admit it aloud, but Strange was impressed.
"He remembered every inch of Asgard after all those years," Wanda said softly. "That's not just magic. That's love."
Morgan Stark, curled beside Old Tony, blinked away tears. "Dad, that old man... he died so terribly. Can we save him?"
Old Tony rubbed her head, struggling with emotion. "Morgan, it's just a show. And maybe... maybe he's not really gone."
Everyone turned toward him.
"Come on," Thor muttered. "He was devoured by that cloud. We all saw it."
Alex Ray finally spoke. "Who says what you saw was real? Loki once fooled Thanos with a projection. You think this one didn't?"
He had a point.
Alex had his suspicions the first time he saw the finale. Classic Loki had hidden for decades. Why suddenly play hero? It didn't make sense.
He must have cast a decoy.
The others didn't argue. Deep down, they hoped he was right.
Young Tony suddenly asked, "Is the Void real? Could we end up there? And what do we do about that thing... Alioth?"
Alex waved dismissively. "It's real, but don't worry. We're not dumb enough to end up there. Only idiots walk into oblivion."
Just as the words left his mouth, a message pinged in the multiversal group chat.
"Alex Ray! Help! I got dragged to some place called the Void by this ugly used-car-salesman Deadpool! What the hell is this place?! F***!"
Alex's expression dropped instantly.
Everyone noticed.
He didn't say a word—but they all knew something bad had just happened.
