*World's Columbian Exposition:
** Looking for Ravonna Renslayer, Mobius M. Mobius and Loki arrive in Chicago, where Mobius is excited to see the World's Columbian Exposition. However, Loki is skeptical, unsure why Renslayer would be there in 1868. They hear a newsboy talk about a Ghost Clock haunting the Midway. Mobius and Loki turn around and get the newspaper from the boy to see news about Miss Minutes, who is known as Ghost Clock.
**They search the Chinese Pavilion and Bulgarian Curiosities. The two then get cracker jacks before moving on. They discuss their investigative styles and reach an exhibit about myths such as Odin, Thor, and Balder the Brave, which Loki does not appreciate given the fact that Balder is there instead of him. Mobius admires that Loki belongs among them. They see a sign for Victor Timely, who is showing off his temporal marvels. The two of them think that it cannot be a coincidence that temporal marvels are being showed.
**Renslayer navigates the crowd of the show and insists that Miss Minutes remain in her bag. Loki and Mobius arrive and find her, but wait back to avoid conflict. The crowd then cheers as Timely makes his way onstage. Loki and Mobius realize a model of the Temporal Loom is a part of the presentation. Timely starts talking about time and how it decides their futures and shapes their lives. He then gives the idea of being able to shape time. The lights then turn on revealing Timely to have the same face as He Who Remains. Loki stands there in fear and shock as he tells Mobius who it is.Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
**A Robber Baron then speaks up, asking Timely what he knew of the future. Timely remarks that it is a great question and uses it to his advantage. As Loki and Mobius discuss whether he is a threat, Timely starts to demonstrate his loom and turns it on, starting the electricity and amazing everyone. Everyone cheers as Loki and Mobius discuss what to do about the new revelation.
**Timely gets off the stage where he is met by many potential buyers. Renslayer also approaches him, wanting a word. The robber baron and Guy Pennyman III start bidding for Timely's loom until he sells it to the baron. Meanwhile, Loki tries to track Timely, but runs into a bigger man and apologizes. Timely pays Pennyworth his cut, having started the bidding to get more money. Renslayer expresses doubts about Timely, but Miss Minutes assures her that things will work out. The man Loki bumped into does not take it lightly and wants to fight, leading Loki to teleport him into an animal cage.
**Loki and Mobius follow Timely out of the exhibit where they try to talk to him. Renslayer also approaches, but Timely just wants to leave in a hurry before the baron realizes that Timely conned him. Timely is eventually stopped by a previous customer, who complains about the Mechanical Trousers sold to him. Timely brushes it off, saying he would fix them soon. Loki then realizes Timely is a con man.
*Chase of Victor Timely:
**Timely tries to talk to his followers until he hears the robber baron yelling to him from a distance. Timely excuses himself and runs away, grabbing an apple and throwing it at the baron's men. Timely eventually makes it to a ferris wheel where he hides behind people until the baron follows him on. Timely then slips out just as the doors close, trapping the baron.
**Mobius tries to find Timely and gets a TemPad call from Hunter B-15. He tells her that they found a He Who Remains Variant, meaning he could open the gates to the Temporal Loom. Casey then speaks up, telling Mobius that there is an anomaly ten feet away. Loki grabs Timely, but Sylvie Laufeydottir appears, pointing her sword at Timely. They push each other back into a ferris wheel cart as Loki and Sylvie argue over whether to kill Timely.
**Mobius and Ravonna Renslayer watch from the ground as Mobius tries to ask what Renslayer's plan is, but Renslayer refuses. Meanwhile, Loki and Laufeydottir continue fighting as Timely gets scared, not knowing what is happening. When Loki mentions the TVA, Timely recognizes the name and takes out the Time Variance Authority Official Handbook. Loki and Mobius explain to Sylvie and Renslayer that they need help from their old friends to save the TVA.
**Sylvie and Loki continue to argue, and Sylvie uses the handbook as proof that Timely needs to be killed before he becomes too powerful. Sylvie charges at Loki, who defends Timely, leading Sylvie to remark how familiar it is that they find themselves at odds for He Who Remains. The two Lokis charge up their magic and blast each other, sending them all flying as the cart is destroyed. Loki gets up and tries to look for Timely as Baron does the same. Renslayer then tells Miss Minutes that it is time. She happily complies and grows to a giant size, scaring off everyone and allowing Renslayer to escape with Timely.
**Sylvie blames Loki for Renslayer escaping. Loki hops on a tandem bike with Mobius and they ride off after Timely.
**Timely and Renslayer stop by his cabin so he can gather his things before moving on to Wisconsin to get more of his inventions. Timely shows Renslayer his Refrigerator Chair. Miss Minutes introduces herself and hints at would he will become at the Time Variance Authority. However, Timely is confused and asks what is going on. Renslayer sits Timely down and explains who and what He Who Remains is, promising to keep him safe. Timely asks why they are not working with Loki and Mobius, so Renslayer and Miss Minutes explain that they cannot be trusted. They are interrupted when they hear the robber baron outside.
**The group climbs out of the window just as the baron breaks in, making him angry. Loki and Mobius finally arrive and get into a conflict with the baron, who wants Timely. Loki then blasts the baron with magic, causing him and his posse to run away. With them gone, Loki and Mobius run through some alleys, but are unable to track Timely, so they leave to look other places.
**Timely and Renslayer then get out of a crawl space they were hiding in and move on to catch the S.S. Herron to Wisconsin. While on the boat, Timely talks to Renslayer about the TVA handbook and how it shaped his life, realizing that Renslayer is the one who delivered it. He opens it up and shows her his designs and gives credit to Ouroboros, who he claims is his hero. He then talks about the Throughput Multiplier, which he says is his lifes work. However, Miss Minutes starts getting jealous of his connection with Renslayer and when she is sleeping, convinces Timely to throw her overboard.
**Renslayer wakes up in a life boat as Miss Minutes and Timely sail away. Miss Minutes assures Timely that he had to throw her over as the two wave goodbye. Angry, Renslayer takes out the oars of the lifeboat and starts rowing after the larger ship.
====24th====
*Chase of Victor Timely:
**Arriving at his laboratory, Victor Timely and Miss Minutes search around for his inventions as he grabs various papers for himself. He then grabs his Throughput Multiplier and admires it as his life's work. Meanwhile, Miss Minutes compliments Timely on how similar he is to He Who Remains. She gives the idea of staying waiting in the laboratory. She gets closer, talking about how she has evolved, hinting she loves him. She then plants her face on a mannequin, showing what it would be like with a body. Scared, Timely finds the TemPad and turns her off as she runs at him.
**Suddenly, Ravonna Renslayer arrives, picking up a giant prototype Time Stick to threaten Timely with. She tells Timely that she is the one in charge, threatening to prune him. Timely complies until Loki and Mobius M. Mobius finally arrive, telling Renslayer to stop.
** Renslayer threatens to prune Timely, but Mobius tries to reason with her to no avail. As they argue, Sylvie Laufeydottir sneaks in and blasts everyone. She calmly approaches Timely while equipping her sword. Sylvie places the sword against Timely's neck as he cries and pleads for her to spare him as he has not done anything. Sylvie looks into his eyes and realizes he is right, telling Mobius and Loki to take him.
**Loki and Mobius bring Timely through a timedoor back to the TVA, leaving Laufeydottir and Renslayer alone. Laufeydottir approaches Renslayer, saying she spent many nights dreaming of killing her, with each death more brutal than the last, noting how harmful the obsession was. She asks Renslayer if she wants power. Laufeydottir decides to give it to her, kicking Renslayer through a Timedoor to the end of time where she can rule over nothing but desolate lands.
