I Need a Doctor

Summary: Join Bruce, Darcy and the Avengers as they prepare for the arrival of a miniature Banner. In the midst of things Darcy is taken hostage and unable to fight, she awaits her knight in shining armour. Or in her case, a Doctor with an alter ego.

Chapter 1

"I'm telling you, name the kid Tony, It's like the best name ever!"
Darcy groaned, this was the third time in two days that Tony Stark had brought up the subject of baby names and even though she loved hanging around him, he was one self-obsessed bastard. She sat on one of the luxurious sofas on the 20th floor of Stark Towers; this floor was home to her, its where all the Avengers gathered for peace and quiet, though with Stark you'd never get that.

"Tony, for the love of god. Your ego is already big enough; I am not naming my kid after you. I think my husband would agree."

"You just can't handle the truth!"
"Just because I'm pregnant, doesn't mean I can't taze you!" Darcy retorted, enjoying their daily arguments like they were siblings, not co-workers.

Darcy had to hold back a small laugh as she looked downwards at something hidden from Tony's view, then she slipped it back into her pocket with a click. Definitely not her taser, but Tony didn't know that.

"Besides Tony, we don't want to know the gender till the big day and quite frankly, you can call us spoilsports all you want."

Tony turned to face the coffee machine in the kitchen part of the room, laughing and making jokes about Bruce to Darcy when a familiar face walked through the elevator doors, his booming voice could have easily been heard from the far end of the room.

"Good afternoon Mrs Banner, Stark."
Darcy turned her head enthusiastically.

"Hey, Thor! How was Asgard?"

Darcy steadied herself as she got up from her place on the sofa and hugged Thor when he got closer.

"Hey Goldilocks, help yourself if you're hungry." Tony replied, picking up his now-made coffee and heading towards the elevator. "I'm going back to the lab."

Thor returned Darcy's embrace and looked at her in awe.

"Asgard was quite pleasant Miss Darcy; my brother's punishment is not as harsh as I thought it would be, it seems my mother has quite an influence on my father. If it is alright with Doctor Banner I could take you one day to grace the halls, it is truly an amazing place."
Darcy laughed, swatting Thor with the back of her hand.

"Woman power rules! Just don't hit on me and you'll be safe."

Thor looked at Darcy in confusion, to which Darcy mimicked her husband's alter ego, sending Thor's booming laugh echoing through the place. He turned to the kitchen

"Would you like me to get you something Miss Darcy?" he asked.

Darcy shook her head and smiled.

"No thanks but if you are wondering, Jane should be back anytime soon, she went to meet Selvig, but you can go see if Bruce needs help in the lab, tell him I sent you." "Thank you, Darcy. I will tell Banner, I am sure he will appreciate your concern, you will be alright by yourself won't you?"

Darcy smiled and nodded as Thor left and immediately took out her phone from her pocket. Speed-dialling a number, she put the phone to her right ear and said,

"Jane, Pepper, Plan A is ready to go. I repeat we are ready to go."

"Roger that Darcy, Me and Pep will see you in the taxi downstairs."

Ending the call, Darcy smiled and picked up her small handbag, keeping her taser with her. Stroking her stomach tenderly, she proceeded to the elevator and smiled at the small diamond wedding ring on her left hand.

Tony and Bruce's Lab

Bruce stood hunched over his workspace, eyes focused on a blueprint he was working on and was quite proud of it. A photo stood on his work desk, a memento of one of the best days of his life, his wedding day to Darcy Lewis, now Darcy Banner. He chuckled to himself, it still seemed unreal and now Darcy was 6 months pregnant with his child. The thought was just so beautiful, so heart-warming.

"Oi, daydreamer. What you got there?"

Bruce turned his head to see Tony trying to peek at the small electronic blueprints he was fiddling with.

"Oh just something for Darcy." Bruce replied simply

"Is it a crib?" Tony asked, smiling.

"Damn you." Bruce cursed under his breath but then spoke out loud "Aren't you supposed to be working on something too?"

"Yeah but I can help you with the crib if you want, show me what you got so far."
Bruce reluctantly sighed and raised his hand above the blueprint, raising it up and projecting it out for the both of them to see.

"It's looking good buddy, but you're gonna need materials and colours-"
"You suggest red or gold and metal within those next sentences and it's an immediate no."
"You think I'm gonna endanger the little Avenger?" Tony mock-feigned being hurt.
Bruce just smiled and carried on talking about his plans to Tony when JARVIS interrupted.

"Sir, I don't mean to interrupt but there is a man with blonde hair wearing armour outside saying Miss Darcy sent him to help and check on Mr Banner?"

Bruce laughed as Tony slapped him on the back and whispered "This should be fun."

Sorry if it seems a bit rushed, this is only my first full-feature length story of the Avengers
