- "Everywhere and every-when I went, it caused a nexus event. Sent up a smoke flare. Because I'm not supposed to exist."
- ―Sylvie Laufeydottir to Loki[src]
The Arrest of Loki Laufeydottir was a successful attempt by the Time Variance Authority to arrest Loki Laufeydottir, a variant of Loki and prune the alternate timeline.
Background[]
- "The universe wants to break free, so it manifests chaos. Like me being born the Goddess of Mischief. And as soon as that created a big enough detour from the Sacred Timeline, the TVA showed up, erased my reality, and took me prisoner. I was just a child."
- ―Sylvie Laufeydottir[src]
Loki Laufeydottir was born in one of the many realities that comprised what the Time Variance Authority called the Sacred Timeline.[2] Born as the Goddess of Mischief, she was raised on Asgard, and was told about her true Frost Giant nature, both factors that would eventually cause a Nexus Event in her timeline.[3]
Arrest[]
Loki playing
One day, Loki was playing with her toy figures in Asgard's Royal Palace of Valaskjalf, when suddenly, her playtime was disrupted by the appearance of a Timedoor behind her. Hunter A-23 and two Minutemen exit through the Timedoor, stating she was under arrest. Hunter A-23 grabbed the young Loki and took her to the Timedoor, kidnapping her, while a Minuteman put a Reset Charge on the ground to erase her parents and her reality.
Loki was taken through the Timedoor to the Time Variance Authority Office. While being led through by Hunter A-23, Loki watched as a man screamed and cried for help as he was taken into custody.
She was then taken through the screening procedures and was given a TVA prisoner uniform. She stood before the TVA paperwork clerk and a TVA scanner clerk who motioned for her to pass under the screening to test if she was a robot or not. She hesitated but went through to the courtroom where Renslayer stood by her and presented her to the judge.[1]
Aftermath[]
Loki attacks Hunter A-23
As Hunter A-23 led Loki up to the front of the room, she bit A-23 on the wrist breaking free, then stomping on her foot before stealing her TemPad. She then used the Tempad to create a Timedoor, successfully escaping from the TVA.[1]
Laufeydottir eventually changed her name to Sylvie, now being forced to live in different alternate timelines, hiding in apocalypses in order to stay hidden from the TVA. She spent her time in hiding learning about and studying the TVA, in order to one day get her revenge.[4]
