ch 14
After Abby, Connor, Danny, and Sarah are lost/die, 22yr old Becker is left in a manic haze trying to figure out how to fix things. Eventually Lester finds out about his crazy conspiracy boards and off-the-books investigating and threatens to fire him. Becker is at the end of his rope- Matt is an untrustworthy team leader and he’s devastated by his losses- so at the next anomaly he walks through it before anyone can stop him.
Becker took his weapons, some light camping gear, and an anomaly detector. He’s not totally unprepared but surviving in prehistory is very rough. He spends months jumping through anomalys before he manages to run into Helen in the apocalyptic future. She doesn’t recognize him and he chases her through an anomaly into pre-canon London. She manages to take a 16yr old Connor hostage, and Becker’s reaction to her confirms he’s from the Arc. Becker manages to save Connor, but Connor gets a bad concussion, and Becker leaves him to continue chasing Helen once emts are on their way. Helen loses him again, so Becker spends the next few months jumping through anomalies looking for her. Eventually he ends up in the Spaghetti junction and spends a lot of time going through the anomalies there. This gives him an idea of the overall pattern of anomaly time/location appearances and he can start to predict them. Becker is 24 now.
Eventually he ends up in London just a few years before Cutter finds his first anomaly, so he decides to stay. After researching he realizes that there is no Becker native to this time- something in the past changed and now neither he nor his parents exist. An existential crisis threatens, but Becker represses it and keeps forging onward. He takes under the table work, which eventually connects him with people who can forge him an identity. Becker is driven to regain his position at the Arc as soon as it’s created, so his fellow soldiers know him as extremely driven, productive, and focused. Fortunately he’s also always willing to help out and cover for his team so his ambition doesn’t alienate others. Unfortunately Becker is still extremely closed off so no one knows anything about him outside of work.
After the Arc is created, Becker succeeds in joining it from the start. He is 28 now and Connor is 24. He meets Connor again at the Forest of Dean anomaly, but stays in the background, more concerned with protecting him than reconnecting. At the giant centipede anomaly, he gives Stephen his bulletproof vest when Stephen insists on going into the tunnels after Connor. Becker later sneaks into the tunnels himself and runs into Helen- this version is younger than the one he’d been chasing and doesn’t recognize him. He shoots to kill but is unfortunately ambushed by the centipede and knocked out. Stephen and Cutter drag him out and he wakes with a bad concussion. He sees Connor walking by and his lowered inhibitions have him calling out to him and then gushing on how glad he is that Connor is back. Connor is confused but friendly and Becker ends up helping him identify the specific type of centipede. Becker slips in some future-knowledge by claiming it tried to bite him when it attacked, so Stephen and Cutter should assume it’s venemous. Thankfully, the situation is resolved without anyone getting poisoned this time.
Becker asked for a copy of the database so he could study the creatures they might face and Connor agreed to send it. After the anomaly closed, Connor tried flirting with Abby, but Abby playfully rejected him, instead teasing him about spending so much time a soldier. Connor doesn’t yet feel attracted to Becker, but his gender isn’t an issue.
Meanwhile, Connor has been hacking into cctv records trying to find the man who saved him from Helen when he was a teen. His memory is spotty from the concussion (and Becker looked rough from anomaly-jumping), so he doesn’t have a firm idea of what he looked like, and the footage isn’t great. Stephen catches him at it and Connor fibs that he’s trying to look into Helen’s disappearance to help Cutter, so Stephen leaves him be.
Becker, meanwhile, feels overwhelmed trying to fix everything by himself. One sleepless night he has the epiphany to ask for help- Danny isn’t missing during this time, and is crazy enough to believe him about anomalies/time travel. He contacts him at the police station and sets up a meeting. -

ch 40
The Jotunn attack at the coronation wasn’t Loki, and Loki suspects it was one of Odin’s council. This is the first Odinsleep that the brothers are old enough to be named Regent for- before it has been the council’s Chancellor. Loki suspects someone is making a power grab but isn’t sure who all is involved.
During the fight on Jotunheim, Loki doesn’t realize why his arm turns blue when the Jotunn grabs it- he thinks it was just his innate shapeshifting abilities adapting to protect him.After Thor’s banishment, Loki is tasked with examining all the thin places around Asgard to find where the Jotunn got through, but finds nothing. Odin forbids him from entering the vault, but Loki talks his was in and discovers that that is where the incursion originated. When Odin confronts him there, Loki rebuts that only a select few could’ve entered the vault to open the passage, and unless Odin is accusing Loki or Frigga, it must’ve been one of the council. Odin is furious at the accusation and denies the possibility, but the exertion is too much and he falls into the Odinsleep. Loki was named Regent after Thor’s banishment, so he becomes King.
The council advises against revoking Thor’s banishment since it was Odin’s last order, but Loki wants his brother protected where he can see him, so he sends Sif Fandral and Hogun to bring him back. Thor is still mortal and needs to prove his worth. Sif and Fandral especially have been suspicious and disrespectful of Loki since he became Regent, but Volstagg has been helpful and supportive. When they’re all back, Loki assigns them all a councilor to “guard” aka surveil until they find out who the traitor is. -
