Loki! Loki! We did it! HaHA! I knew we could do it. I only electrocuted myself once. Where are you? Come find me immediately!

Also whoever told me Loki wasn't real, you're a liar and liars never prosper. [Hrmph, so rude. It's almost enough to dampen his excitement at finishing one of his projects - almost. He's been working as apothecary, but it isn't the same as making something so new as an energy shield.]

...

There have been a lot of birthdays lately. I suppose it makes sense. Summer does tend to make people horny.

Happy birthday to all the May babies!

No, you don't understand!

[He turned and tried to grab Loki by the collar, desperate.]

He'll die! I have to save him. I have to do something to save him and I'm here instead!

[Loki might like Walter, but he's not about to take that sort of nonsense from any human. He catches hold of Walter's wrists in a deceptively laconic motion. He is very, very strong.]

Time does not pass in a linear fashion in our home universes, Walter. Calm yourself.

[He would normally pull away, but he's too panicked to think straight and almost folds under the pressure.]

But it will come to pass, whether it's now or later. Please... [He can't let Peter get into that machine. The very thought of it robs him of everything he has.] He's my son.

There is no such thing as fate.

If it has not happened yet, your universe may well branch off from the timeline you know of. Something may still be done.

But there are such things as consequences. This is my punishment...

I tried to think of everything, but I couldn't-- I failed. [He looks up at Loki.] Have you seen worlds fall? Is it possible?

[complicatedliar]

The universe does not punish, Walter. The universe does not care.

Yes. [A slight shrug.] All things are possible.
