When Loki was taken by the TVA, he is forced to watch a montage of what could've been his future. In that montage, he finds out that he will fall in love with a young Midgardian woman, who he would've met a year after the Battle of New York.
And thi...

Thor comes by the next day, and Loki says goodbye to Anya and Wanda. It was a wordless farewell, and they only exchanged forced smiles before Loki climbs onto the Pegasus' back, holding onto his brother.
Thor smiles at Anya and she does her best to return it. The two brothers take off with the winged-horse and the sounds of its wings flapping begins to fade away.
Wanda nudges Anya. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Anya gives her a smile, reaching for Wanda's arm. "Come on. We've got a synthezoid to track."
Loki arrives on Asgard and sees how progressive it appears to be. It was odd to see how all of them still wore the same clothing from Asgard, but now they were all using Midgardian technology like smartphones. Children were wearing Asgardian robes while playing with Earthly toys like Legos and Nerfs. Truly a strange sight, but it brought a smile on Loki's face. It seems that his people have adjusted to this realm and made it as their own home.
Familiar faces begin to greet him and even cheers for his arrival. Loki remembers that he died a hero to them, and he feels so welcomed. There was a feast, lively music, enthusiastic dancing, and it warmed Loki to see how much his brother made sure he felt welcome.
It was strange to lie, though. All of Asgard thought that the Loki they were celebrating was the actual Loki who died at the hands of Thanos. One that supposedly faked his death again. Only Thor and the King knew the truth.
After the feast, he retires to his room in the tallest building that is supposed to be the palace. The construction of the palace is still ongoing. Thor said that people from a place called Wakanda are overseeing its reconstruction, and are told to be discreet. Although, Thor did warn Loki that his status will be announced to the whole world sooner or later. How fun.
Loki watches his kingdom from the window of his room and he sighs, finding it irritating that he is still thinking of Anya. He barely even notices the door opening and another figure approaching his side. He glances to his left and almost gapes.
"Sif."
She smiles and steps forward to give him a hug, and Loki is taken by surprise. The last time Loki truly saw Sif, she was threatening to slice his throat if he betrays Thor. And the last time he saw her, he was in a memory loop of her kneeing his crotch. Embracing her now is much more pleasant than any of those.
Other than Anya, Sif is the only person he had ever had a proper romance with. Loki tried to court her once, but that was short lived when he realized that Sif wanted Thor more. Loki was glad that it ended quite early on in his life.
Although, he isn't sure if he should call what's between him and Anya as a romance. Lust would be more befitting, honestly. That's what Loki tells himself.
Sif pulls away and cups Loki's cheek, observing his face while having a fond smile. "It's surreal to see you again."
Loki sighs and leans into Sif's palm. "It is surreal to be among my people again." He looks at her with gentle eyes. "It's good to see you, Sif."
