So in my head canon Jane and Darcy are actually the same age. I love their friendship so much I just thought it'd be a nice little twist if they were best friends who grew up together. Also, I dug this out of my computer files. I started writing this in May and then lost interest. MOVIE-VERSE

Dr. Selvig?" Agent Coulson said while walking up behind him.

Eric bolted up from the desk he was leaning over, "Agent…uhm Agent Coulson. What are you still doing here?"

"We want you to come back with us."

"Me? But, why?"

"It's Just for research. I promise. Also, we pay."

"Well, I…I have to say…I mean….ok."

"Wonderful. There'll be a car with an agent waiting for you when you're done here."

Eric watched Coulson retreat to one of the cars and drive away into the night. He gathered up Jane and Darcy in the little living area by the kitchen in their make-shift lab. He swore to God that they looked just like they did when they were little girls. Sitting in front of the TV, Jane sitting in her sleeping bag and Darcy wrapped in her Disney World blanket.

"What's up Eric? Ya looked spooked." Darcy said looking up at him innocently making him feel horrible for leaving them.

Eric chuckled, "I'm fine Darcy." He said, "But, I need to talk to you, girls."

Jane looked at Darcy then back at Eric, "Um…ok?"

Eric sat down across from them and said slowly, "S.H.I. wants me to come back with them for research. It must be pretty important. And…I'm going to take it."

They're smiles faded but they were still there. You see, they thought things were gonna be a LOT worse. They thought S.H.I.E.L.D was going to kill them. Wipe them off the map. Make sure this little situation never got out. But all they wanted was research. So if he wanted it…they would have to let him go. With all the stupid things he lets them get away with it seems only fair they let him do as he pleases this once.

Surprisingly Darcy sprung out of her chair and ran to hug him, "I'll let you go. Just don't let those ass clowns get the best of you alright?"

Jane got up to join Darcy in the hug, "Just be safe ok?"

"I promise I'll be safe girls. It's you I'm worried about." Eric said through chuckles, "Walk me out?"

They all walked out together out to a car where a man with a bow and what seemed like a thousand arrows was waiting. Jane shied behind Eric a little while Darcy stood strong. Because from what Jane could tell…this guy was an assassin.

"Agent Barton." He said gruffly as he shook all three of their hands.

Jane and Eric replied with their names and he looked at Darcy with curious eyes which earned a reply of "I'm not giving you my name." Jane and Darcy watched as Erik climbed in the car with this "agent" and drove off into the desert.

"Hey Dee? Do you think Thor will come back?" Jane asked while making her way back to the "house"

"Oh yeah." Darcy said while walking into the living room, "The way he was devouring your face was a sure sign of-"

All of a sudden Darcy's body made a jerk forward, like somebody had stabbed her in between her shoulder blades. She fell to the ground. Jane was yelling frantically while Darcy writhed on the ground screaming. Then you could see every single one of Darcy's veins through her skin. But they were purple, a bright purple.

"Oh my God Darcy! Your veins! They're-"

Jane was cut off as well as she started to writhe and scream like Darcy. Her veins had two changed color. They were grey, a dark grey. After moments (that felt like forever to Darcy and Jane) of writhing, sweating, and screaming it all stopped. The pain dulled and the glowing faded into nothing. They scrambled to each other trembling.

"W-w-what just h-happened. T-t-t-to us?" Darcy asked while Jane sat speechless, "Come on Jay talk to me!"

"I d-d-don't know. I-i-i-it just h-happened." Jane stuttered out.

"Yes, b-but what was it?"

"L-let's just g-g-get to bed ok?

"Sure. Ok we'll talk about this tomorrow."

They didn't say goodnight. Just stood there hugging…

They each took a step to move, Jane to her trailer and Darcy to her room. Jane's legs crumpled under her, Darcy heard Jane yell her name. It didn't sound like it came from her though. More like it came from inside Darcy's head? Darcy turned to find Jane in a crumpled heap across the room. Darcy ran to her and cradled Jane in her arms as if she were as breakable as glass.

"Oh come on Jane! Don't do this! Wake up! I need you to wak-" Darcy was unable to finish her sentence as she blacked out instantly.

Darcy awoke with the worst soreness she'd ever had in her life. She cracked her back and looked down. She screamed and Jane bolted upright. Jane scrambled to her feet as Darcy stumbled back in shock.

"JANE LOOK AT YOU! WHAT?! WHY!? LOOK AT YOU!" Darcy screamed as she backed away from Jane.

"LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT YOU! I CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT YOU! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!"

"YOU'RE METAL!"

They both ran to the bathroom door and looked at the mirror. They both just stared. Jane stared at her metallic silver skin, body, eyes, hair, basically just her whole body. Darcy stared, but stared at nothing. She wasn't there. All she could see was the wall behind her and her pajamas. She was invisible. Tears started streaming down her face, not that you could see them though. She felt a panic attack coming as she watched Jane touch her metal face with her metal fingers. She forced her tears back and took loud, deep breaths. She forced herself to calm down while looking at the floor.

She looked back into the mirror and gasped. She was there looking right back at herself. She smiled at the fact that she was now visible again. She slowly turned to Jane looking at her with wide eyes, staring at her with pupil-less, shining, and silver-like eyes.

"What happened to us?" Jane asked while putting her face in her hands.

"I don't know Jay. I honestly have no idea." Darcy said lifting her palms up to shrug. But, when she did two streams of bright purple slightly transparent energy shot out above her hand making two holes in the ceiling. She closed her hands soon after she raised them. She looked at Jane panting with tears in her eyes. Jane sprung forward as Darcy sunk to her knees. She wrapped her arms around her.

"Jane. Jane, go get the duct tape. Second drawer on the right of my bed. NOW." Darcy ordered. Jane scurried off to Darcy's room then returned with a roll of tape. Darcy balled her hands into fist and put them together. She inclined her hands forward as a sign for Jane to bind them together. She wrapped them in duct tape, then wrapped them again. They made their way the kitchen. Darcy watched as Jane made them some coffee. Darcy gave her the you're-really-gonna-do-that-after-what-just-happened look. Jane slowly nodded and dumped the coffee down the sink.

"So…" Jane said while twiddling her thumbs, "What happened to us? I mean, we were fine then we had that…experience. We woke up, we're like this."

Darcy looked into Jane's now raised silver eyes, "I don't know but I think I know how to get you back to normal. I want you to close your eyes and think of the most calming thing you can think of. And just breathe in and out."

Jane closed her eyes as directed. She pictured Thor. She pictured his beautiful blue eyes, his blonde hair, his huge muscly arms. She pictured him wrapping them around her. She imagined his lips. How they felt on hers the last time. She pictured them crashing down on hers. She pictured his enormous hands. She pictured them pulling her shirt over her head. Jane jerked at the kitchen table making Darcy jump.

"What did you imagine? Cuz it obviously didn't work. Try again."

Jane closed her eyes again. It was her and Darcy. It was 1997 and they were back in fourth grade winter break. They were sitting in Darcy's room in her house. Beauty and the Beast was on the latest T.V. model in front of Darcy's ginormous cream and pastel orange bed. A pile of Disney princess movies were stacked next to the T.V. Junk food was everywhere. They were in their pajamas fantasizing. Jane was saying "I wish I could have my own prince come and rescue me from bad guys." Darcy giggled at her, "Jane you're silly! I would love a prince, but I can save myself!" Darcy's mom walks into the room and tackles them on the bed. They engaged in a tickle war. Darcy's Mom turned off the lights as she left the girls with heavy eyelids.

Jane opened her eyes and looked down at her hands. They were normal again! Darcy smiled and allowed Jane to squeeze the life out of her. Which to be honest seemed at least four times stronger than usual. There was a knock at the door and Jane walked off to get it. Darcy went to go sit in the small living room and watch Bar Rescue. Ugggghhh! Darcy though as she realized she left her fruit salad in the kitchen. She closed her eyes and imagined the salad floating from the kitchen and into her lap. She felt a weight on her lap and opened her eyes to find the fruit salad on her lap! She started panicking just as Jane walked in with two older men. One was bald and in a wheel chair, the other had a head of grey hair and stylish clothes. (A/N: I'm basing this off of X Men Evolution)

"Darcy, this is Professor Xavier and Eric Lehnsherr. They're here to talk to us about something important." Jane said a little nervously.

"Yes. Is there anything you would like to tell us about?" Professor Xavier asked Jane and Darcy

Darcy went with her gut and became defensive, "What are you talking about? There's nothing to tell. Everything here is fine."

"I don't buy that for a minute sweetheart. Eric said with a chuckle, "If everything was fine then your hands would not be bound."

Jane went to go sit with Darcy, "What exactly are you talking about?"

"We know what has happened to you and we know how scary it can be." Professor Xavier said in a calming voice, "The biggest interest for us is that cerebro picked up a signal that is much stronger than most mutants give off. There is only one other mutant who has these abilities."

"WOAH WAIT WHAT!? MUTANTS!? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!? A MUTANT?! WHAT AM I GONNA GROW FINS!?

"No no no, Miss Lewis. That will not happen to you unless shape shifting was your ability, which evidently it is not. I happen to know that yours is invisibility and force fields. But the rare type of mutant you are gives you much, much more. As for you Miss Foster you are able to transform yourself into animantium.

"What in the hell is animantium?" Jane asked squeezing Darcy's wrists

"Animantium is the strongest substance in the world, stronger than steel. In fact, you can cut through steel with a blade of animantium."

Darcy stood up, "Where the hell is this all going? Are you trying to kill us? Are you arresting us? Are you FBI? Who the hell are you?"

"Allow me to show you." Said Professor Xavier, "Sit on the couch and look at Miss Foster. Now think of a simple thought such as hello."

Darcy did as directed and thought, Hi Jane. Jane jumped off the couch. She stumbled back onto the TV stand.

"What the Hell! I heard that! I heard you think!" Jane shouted frantically.

Professor Xavier rolled over and said, "Yes well, as I said you two are mutants. But, not like any ordinary mutant with one ability. There is one other like you, her name is Abigail. She has the ability to shoot acid out of her hands. She was also blessed with several other superhuman abilities. She has inhuman strength and speed (not like quicksilver.) as well as telepathic abilities. When cerebro sensed her powers it was much stronger than any other mutants we've picked up. Her wavelength was identical to both of yours."

At hearing this Jane's fingers squeezed the small table. There were cracking noises as her fingers dug into the wood. She stumbled back and fell. She laid there panting looking between the two men. Darcy was on the couch wide eyed and panting as well.

"We are not going to harm you." Eric said, "We are here to take you to a place where you will be accepted. There are many, many more like you. Each different and unique. We too are mutants, we are like you. So please do us the honor of coming with us to California. We can train you and teach you how to use your powers to fight."

He offered his hand to Jane and she took it. She brushed herself off and looked at Darcy triggering a mental conversation.

Do you think we can trust them? I mean this is really sudden. Jane thought

Darcy shrugged, They seem legit. Plus, my gut and my heart are screaming yes at me. I think we can do this.

But what if we leave and Thor comes back? We won't be here.

Oh peeshaw! Let him search for you. Maybe if you're lucky they'll make it into a movie.

How can you joke at a time like this?!

I'm just helping in the best way I can Jay. Let's pull the trigger

"Ok fine. We'll come with you. But you have to guarantee out safety." Darcy

"I promise you will be safe. We will take care of you. You will have a room at the estate and we will begin to work on controlling your powers. But one more question, did it hurt when your powers awoke?" Professor Xavier asked

Darcy snorted, "Like a bitch. Felt like someone was stabbing while I was on fire drowning in gasoline."

"Well, we'll get more into that at some other time."

"Well, you're going to have to give a few days to pack up all our stuff." Jane said, "We've practically moved in here."

"Already being taken care of," Eric said, "Storm, bring down the X-jet"

A ginormous jet appeared from seemingly out of nowhere and landed outside. Jane and Darcy went to get changed and followed Prof. X and Eric to the Jet. They were greeted by a beautiful white-haired woman and gruff looking man with sideburns.

"Welcome. We are so glad you decided to come." The woman said, "My name is Ororo and this is Logan."

"So more half pints eh Chuck?" Logan said with a snort.

Darcy glared at him, "Oh hell no! Excuse me but we are twenty-four years old. We are not half pints old man!"

"Well, she's a feisty one Chuck."

Ororo swatted him on the back of the head, "Logan be polite" This was followed by an eye roll and a very sarcastic "Yes, Dear". Darcy and Jane smiled, things might not be that bad.

After a two hour flight they arrived in Bayville California. They stepped out onto the estate. This place was huge! It didn't even compare to Jane or Darcy's. As they got closer they realized there were people waiting for them.

Before they could approach them a puff of smoke appeared before them. After it cleared a blue furry boy with golden eyes, fangs, and a tail stood there. "Halo new friends! My name is Kurt Vagner. Ve have been vaiting for you!"

"Ok, excuse me for being unprofessional," Darcy said, "But you are the cutest damn thing EVER!" She wrapped her arms around Kurt and squeezed him.

"Hahaha. Yes vell, I'm glad someone zinks so.

The people standing by the front doors came over instead of waiting for us to come to us.

"I totally heard that fuzzy! And I think you're like adorable!" Said a small ponytailed valley girl said after she kissed Kurt's cheek, "Hi. I'm Katherine but call me Kitty, like everyone does. That's Jean, Scott, Rouge, and Evan. We're the X-men even though I'm a girl like obvi!"

Jane nodded as everyone was introduced, "Thank you so much for letting us stay here."

Jean giggled as Scott came up behind and wrapped his arms around her waist, "No really it's our pleasure. But, now that the intros are over we'll show you your room and start your training."

Darcy sighed at the thought of work, "Damn. Oh well." She grabbed Jane's hand with her now unbound one and as they braced themselves for a bumpy ride.

It had been two months since Thor left and they came to the Mutant Academy. It's November now and Jane and Darcy have learned to control their powers. They were in the Danger room doing Logan's Run as a final test from Prof. X, Eric, and Wolverine. Jane had just punched out her last robot and Darcy was protecting herself with a circular force field. She pushed her hands forward and the force field crushed the robot. The buzzer sounded as an indicator that the run was over.

"Very good girls," Eric's voice rang over the PA, "now get up here. We have to tell you something."

Jane and Darcy came up to the observatory room. It was all dark and silent. Jane and Darcy scanned telepathically, they could sense people were here but sensed no thoughts. All of a sudden the lights turned on and everyone yelled "SURPRISE!". There was a big banner in the back that said "GOODBYE! WE LOVE YOU!"

"Oh my God! You shouldn't have!" Darcy said covering her mouth.

"I'm very pleased with you girls." Prof. X said as he rolled forward, "You know how to control your powers. You can keep improving by yourself. I believe you are ready to go home. We have the X-jet set for New Mexico."

Darcy let out an over dramatic gasp, "Seriously?! Oh my god! Maybe when we get home Thor will be there waiting!"

"Oh joy." Jane said while rolling her eyes, "Dee, he hasn't come back in two months. I think that says all of it."

"Jane don't even try that. I know you're still pining after him. He's gonna come back"

"Shut up!" Jane shoved her, "But Prof, Darcy and I have already talked about this. We don't wanna go back to New Mexico. We wanna go back home to Chicago (Not the city, the western suburbs)

"Ah I see." Prof X said, "Well, your luggage is on the X-Jet. So, we'll change the coordinates and get you home."

They all hugged and exchanged goodbyes. They got in the jet and Ororo and Logan took them to them to sweet home Chicago.

AVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVA

After the four hour ride they were dropped off above Jane and Darcy's houses. It was November eleventh so that meant it was half Thanksgiving. That meant everyone was at Darcy's house for the home cooked meal. Darcy and Jane walked up to Darcy's door.

The door opened to Darcy's Mom in an apron. She looked ecstatic. She pulled them both inside. After all the grandparents, siblings, parents, and nieces and nephews, had their fill of hellos Jane and Darcy sat them down in the family room.

Jane and Darcy looked at each and said at the same time, "We have something to tell you guys."
